Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1166 Double the Earnings

Moreover, no matter how poor her relationship with Qiao Nan was or how much the Zhai family disliked her, Ding Jiayi’s identity as the in-law of the Zhai family was a fact that would never change.

Which family would be so moronic as to hire the in-law as an auntie to do household chores and pay her?

Ding Jiayi felt that this was not a big deal but the Zhai family could not afford to lose this face.

The auntie, who received a sudden scolding for no apparent reason, was so angry that her face turned red. She almost threw the phone in her hand out of the house.

She had been working for the Zhai family for so many years. As such, she had received numerous phone calls and encountered people of various backgrounds.

Even the true prominent figures had been polite to a housekeeper like her. Ding Jiayi was a lousy one that she did not even look up to, yet how dare she flare up at her? “Pey! Why are you so shameless? It’s not as if you’re paying me. Even if it’s a waste, it won’t be wasted on you. You’re so shameless to say all these. You’re treating other people’s money as your own money, right?!”

This auntie of the Zhai family had heard about what kind of person Ding Jiayi was.

“What exactly is the matter? If there is nothing, I am hanging up.”

Knowing that Ding Jiayi was a good-for-nothing, the auntie could not be bothered to be angry with her. No matter what Ding Jiayi did, she did not have the capability to personally come to the Zhai family to mess around.

“You!” Ding Jiayi did not expect that the housekeeper hired and paid by the Zhai family dared to be so hostile to her. It must be that wretched girl. She must have been badmouthing her in front of the Zhai family whenever she could to the point she had to be spat at by this housekeeper now. “I am not looking for you. I am looking for my daughter. Ask her to come over and pass the phone to her. I have something to say to her.”

The person at the other end of the phone was just a helper. She would not waste energy and devalue herself by arguing with a helper.

When that wretched girl took the call, she would see how to deal with that wretched girl then.

That audacious small fly cum housekeeper! She would get the wretched girl to fire her later.

The auntie seemed to have heard an extremely amusing joke. “Hahaha, are you joking with me? Don’t tell me you don’t know what Nan Nan’s current health situation is? Alright. Speak if you have any matter. If not, I am hanging up.”

The old master and chief had already given her instructions. For any phone calls made by the Qiao family, if the caller was Qiao Dongliang, it would depend on Qiao Nan’s mood whether she wanted to take the call.

Besides Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan would not take any calls, be it from Qiao Zijin or Ding Jiayi. The whole Zhai family was also not willing to take such calls.

With the backing of the old master and chief, the auntie was fearless in making Ding Jiayi lose face. “Are you going to speak or not? If not, I am hanging up. I am busy right now.” The soup that she was stewing for Qiao Nan was still on the stove. She had to turn down the fire.

“How dare you!” Ding Jiayi widened her glare. “Do you know who I am?!” She was the wretched girl’s biological mother. The wretched girl had the capability and rights to chase this stinky auntie out of the Zhai family. The Zhai family would not stop her either.

“Let me remind you. My daughter’s womb is carrying the precious grandchildren of the Zhai family!!”

The status of the pregnant Qiao Nan must be the highest in the Zhai family.

The high status of Qiao Nan meant that she was also an important figure that the Zhai family cared about.

This was just a housekeeper and she dared to be at odds with her. She must be mad!

“Pfft!” The auntie was both amused and angry. “Really... I am giving you one last chance. What exactly is the matter? If you’re not telling me, I am going to hang up.” She was so shameless to have said those things. This shameless one also had to treat her with respect now.

After talking for so long, the other party did not buy it at all. Moreover, her tone was increasingly disdainful. Ding Jiayi was enraged.

The auntie heard noises of Ding Jiayi grinding her teeth coming from the phone. “Her father had bought gold bracelets for the two children in her womb. He spent 6,700 yuan for that.”

As for the rest of the matters, Ding Jiayi believed that Qiao Nan would understand even if she did not say it.

“You want money.” At the very least, the auntie understood her words. “Fine. I know about this now. I will let Nan Nan know. As to what Nan Nan intends to do, wait for Nan Nan’s call.”

Obviously, she felt that she had spent too much money and wanted her married daughter to subsidize a little.

In that case, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang would not suffer any financial loss. At the same time, they had put on a good show as maternal grandparents. What a good plan!

However, this kind of situation was not uncommon. After witnessing the more ‘top-notch’ stuff that Ding Jiayi had done before, this situation was indeed a child’s play in comparison. There was nothing to be angry about.

“6,700 yuan?” Zhai Hua raised her eyebrows. “Is it real or fake? If I didn’t remember wrongly, recently, gold price is about three hundred yuan each gram. So as to speak, Uncle Qiao bought twenty grams of gold.” Even if there were two of them, on average, one gold bracelet was just about ten grams.

Typically, those for kids were not so heavy.

This weight was enough to make a big bracelet—the slimmer type—for a lady. It was a tad too heavy to buy those for children. “Is it two bracelets or two sets of gold jewelry?” Otherwise, the quantity and amount did not match.

Newborns were tiny and delicate.

There was a superstition that things like gold jewelry could keep them safe. That was also to express the elder’s blessing and love for the juniors.

If it was too heavy, it would be pressing on the children and make them feel tired. That would not be nice then.

Hence, regardless of whether one was wealthy, typically, the gold jewelry that they bought for young children would not be too heavy.

In particular, given the Qiao family’s situation, they were generous enough to be willing to buy some gold jewelry for her little nephew and niece. However, they bought something that cost almost 6,700 yuan at once. Did Uncle Qiao strike a lottery and become rich?

The auntie nodded. “That was what Ding Jiayi said.” She was also very shocked that the Qiao family suddenly became so generous. They paid almost 7,000 yuan for something so casually.

The auntie cast a weak glance at Qiao Nan. It was not because of other reasons. The auntie had heard before that the Qiao family used all their family savings for Qiao Zijin’s studies. The problem was that Qiao Nan probably did not spend anything close to 7,000 yuan in total for the many years that she lived with the Qiao family.

Facing the auntie’s evasive eyes, Qiao Nan gave a bitter smile. “All of you don’t need to behave like that. I grew up in that family. Can I not know the temperaments of the people in that family? Also, Sister Zhai Hua, don’t believe in the price of 6,700 yuan. Most probably, we have to give a discount to the actual amount. My mom’s words today are already considered very restrained.”

Qiao Nan really did not wish to bring up this kind of trick anymore.

In her previous life, Ding Jiayi had always used the tactic of inflating the amount to settle scores with Qiao Nan. She then dug out all of Qiao Nan’s money. If it was not enough, she would force Qiao Nan to find a few more part-time jobs until she could achieve the sum that she ‘reported’.

“I-it could not possibly be?”

“...”

The auntie was shocked and dumbstruck. Zhai Hua also seemed to have been struck by a rod. “So, they bought these items for the babies on their own accord, yet they want to get it back from us and double their earnings?”
