Chapter 1914: Acting Pitiful

“Qiao Zijin is my daughter. If she could live, would I want her to die? You can go and settle this matter yourselves.”

Ding Jiayi could neither laugh nor cry. “Where is the real estate certificate of the quad? Hand it over to me quickly. Once I have it, I can make the call.” They were going round and round. Why couldn’t Old Qiao still understand?

Qiao Dongliang snorted coldly. “I’ve already kept the real estate certificate of the quad. You can’t find it. Out of the three methods I’ve proposed, none of them involves selling the quad. From the day Nan Nan bought back the quad, I’ve already decided to live in the quad all my life. Even if I die, I will die in this house. Zijin is already in her forties. I’ve raised her up so that she could become an outstanding person, and I don’t expect her to be filial toward me. However, as a father, I’ve already sacrificed enough for her. She’s already an adult but is still trying to exploit her parents to benefit herself. That’s too overboard.”

There was no room for discussion for this matter.

If Ding Jiayi wanted to secretly find the real estate certificate to sell the quad, then sorry, once bitten, twice shy. Knowing how the mother-daughter pair was both black-hearted and evil, he had long hidden the real estate certificate well as a precaution.

As long as the quad wasn’t involved, he didn’t care how his elder daughter’s kidney transplant was made successful.

After saying these serious remarks, Qiao Dongliang closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Ding Jiayi was stunned. She didn’t expect Qiao Dongliang to be so reluctant even when Qiao Zijin had already made a concession. Ding Jiayi didn’t know why but her heart turned cold when she heard Qiao Dongliang say that he had guarded against her and hidden the real estate certificate well in advance such that she wouldn’t find it. No words could describe that feeling.

They were a couple. It was normal for them to quarrel and throw a temper. However, wasn’t Old Qiao too overboard in his attitude? Did he not treat her as family? He had obviously guarded against her as if she was a thief!

Qiao Zijin, who had been resting in her own room, was quite confident. She felt that since she had already agreed to her parents living in her own big house, they should be able to feel her filial piety fully. Didn’t her father want that? She had already agreed to it. Her father no longer had to create any trouble.

As such, when Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang were having a discussion, Qiao Zijin was very confident and stayed in her room to wait for the good news. When she saw her mother walking in, Qiao Zijin sat up on the bed. “Mom, did you call the hospital and ask them to arrange the surgery for me as soon as possible? It’s still considered early now. There are people on duty in the hospital 24/7. Hurry up and make the call. It’s not too late.”

Seeing Qiao Zijin’s happy face, Ding Jiayi opened her mouth and didn’t know how to tell her about Qiao Dongliang’s reaction. Before this, Ding Jiayi also felt that as long as their family of three could live together in the big house, Qiao Dongliang wouldn’t have any reason not to agree.

However, in reality, things were twisted like this. What they felt were impossible eventually happened.

“Mom, what happened? Say something. Have you made a call to the hospital? Hurry up and do so. The earlier this call is made, the sooner I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I can make the call myself.” This was her life-saving call. They couldn’t delay it. If they were even one second later, that kidney might belong to someone else.

Ding Jiayi snatched away the phone from Qiao Zijin’s hands. “You can’t make the call. It’s useless even if you do so. We don’t have the money for your surgery.”

It was four hundred thousand yuan, not forty thousand yuan. If it was forty thousand yuan, she could still try to borrow from others. However, no matter what happened, she couldn’t make up four hundred thousand yuan. If the call was made and their family couldn’t pay the surgery fees in advance during the day of the surgery, the hospital wouldn’t proceed with it.

Ding Jiayi had long thought of this method. Ding Jiayi told the hospital that once there was a suitable kidney source, they could proceed to do the surgery for Qiao Zijin. However, the hospital said that they had to pay the fees in advance. Ding Jiayi said that surviving was the most important, so they should do the surgery first. As for the money for the surgery and kidney source, their family would fork it out no matter what.

The hospital had its own rules. This was really not something that Ding Jiayi alone could decide. If everyone operated like Ding Jiayi, the hospital would not have been sustainable.

After all, which hospital didn’t have its fair share of freeloaders?

Furthermore, almost everyone in Ping Cheng knew about the Qiao family’s situation. The Qiao family had money. Even if they didn’t, they had a house. If she wanted to undergo a surgery, then the Qiao family should hand over the money first. It was the hospital’s responsibility to save the dead and heal the wounded. They would perform Qiao Zijin’s surgery without a second word.

If they didn’t have money? There were a lot of other patients waiting for the kidney transplant. Those were human lives waiting to be saved as well.

It was precisely because of this situation that Ding Jiayi snatched over the phone and didn’t let Qiao Zijin make the call. Ding Jiayi had heard the story of ‘the boy who cried wolf’. If they didn’t have the money but made the arrangements for the surgery, as long as they didn’t pay the fees tomorrow, the hospital would just arrange the kidney for someone else without a second word.

“We have if we sell the quad.” Qiao Zijin smiled. She knew that her family didn’t have money. However, after selling the house, she would have money to undergo the surgery. Her mother was really funny. That was right as well. Her mother was already old and foolish.

Ding Jiayi let out a long sigh. “Your father didn’t agree to sell the quad. He said that if we were to sell it, it could only be that big house of yours. After selling the big house, if you don’t have a place to stay, you can continue staying in the quad. There’s no room for discussion for anything else.”

“…” Qiao Zijin was shocked. “No, Mom. Didn’t you tell Dad that after selling the quad, I’m willing for our family of three to live together in my big house?”

“I did, but your father still disagreed. He said that he would definitely not move out of the quad. Even if he dies, he wants to die in the quad.” Ding Jiayi really had no other choice. After all, Qiao Dongliang had already said such words.

Upon hearing that Qiao Dongliang was so unreasonable and didn’t care about her life and death, Qiao Zijin really wanted to yell ‘if he’s really that capable, die for me right now.’

If her father died, he would have died in the quad. Once her father died, nobody would stop her from selling the quad to pay the hospital for her treatment, right? Thankfully, Qiao Zijin was still a little rational. She knew that such words couldn’t be said, thus she swallowed them.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Zijin started to cry in front of Ding Jiayi and acted pitiful.
