Chapter 1774: Blindly Kicking Up a Fuss

She left Ping Cheng and temporarily stopped contacting the people from the Qiao family to start a new life.

If she left the Qiao family to jump into the pit of her dreams, then even if she came to a scenic small town, she would only be going from one prison to another at most.

After reaching the destination, Qiao Nan got out of the car with her luggage. As the driver drove away, he said, “This customer’s so strange.” He saw this woman suddenly shake her head when she was in the car. If not for her looking and speaking normally, he would have suspected that she had not learned well and had eaten something bad that she shouldn’t have.

“h.e.l.lo, I would like to rent a house.” Qiao Nan wanted to break free of everything in her dream. However, reality seemed bent on going against her. A lot of situations in Qingshui Town really looked like her dream. Based on the memory of her dream, Qiao Nan soon rented a house.

Upon remembering that this was the first time in her life that she had stepped foot into Qingshui Town, Qiao Nan felt complicated in her heart again when she faced everything in her dream. Was that really a dream? Or had she silently remembered all the details of Qingshui Town in her mind as she loved the environment after accidentally coming across an introduction of it on TV?

Not only did she dream of Qingshui Town, but Qingshui Town even became the hometown of the Zhai family?

Qiao Nan sighed. There wasn’t a need to think about this anymore. Perhaps the life in her dream was so good that she couldn’t break free from it for a long period of time. If she was given a few days to slow down, she might be able to improve the situation.

After successfully renting a cheap house in Qingshui Town, Qiao Nan didn’t dare to linger. She immediately started looking for a job. Even though she had approximately 350,000 yuan in deposits, Qiao Nan didn’t plan to use it in the near future. She wanted to keep it.

Qingshui Town had a good environment. It was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and housing prices were much lower than Ping Cheng’s. Qiao Nan was already considering buying a house in Qingshui Town if she could successfully find a job here.

Qiao Nan smiled when she saw the one-person-one-household household register in her luggage. Back then, her mother asked her to remove herself from the Qiao family household register as she was afraid that she would depend on the Qiao family, take advantage of Qiao Zijin, and have something to do with Chen Jun.

Now, this one-person-one-household situation benefitted her. Even if she wanted to settle down in Qingshui Town, she didn’t need to return to Ping Cheng and have any contact with the Qiao family. If she had any ideas, she could make a decision immediately. As Ding Jiayi had said at the beginning, the one-person-one-household situation would benefit everyone. If something happened to her, she didn’t need to return to the Qiao family and get them to take the household register to resolve the issue.

Qiao Nan might not be highly educated, but it wasn’t difficult for her to find a job in Qingshui Town based on her qualifications. In addition, Qiao Nan bought a computer as she had decided to take a part-time job as a translator online. In fact, Qiao Nan already had her own account on the online translation website.

She accepted a lot of jobs here. As she completed her work well, the other party was very satisfied. Qiao Nan’s account status was not low at all. The biggest benefit of having a high account status was that if someone wanted to engage Qiao Nan’s services for translation, the person had to pay a higher price. After all, you get what you pay for.

Due to the hospitalization, Qiao Nan hadn’t logged in for close to three months. Seeing a bunch of short messages on the back end, Qiao Nan was fl.u.s.tered. She replied to all the messages one by one, saying that she had run into an accident previously, had just finished settling everything, and could officially accept work again like before.

Qiao Nan’s regular customers weren’t clear about Qiao Nan’s sudden return. Life goes on without a Qiao Nan in this world. When Qiao Nan wasn’t online, someone else would naturally accept the job if there were offers. As such, Qiao Nan didn’t have as much translation work as before the car accident and her salary wasn’t that high.

Thankfully, in addition to translation, she also found a relatively easier job for herself. Although Qiao Nan could no longer earn twenty to thirty thousand yuan monthly, like she used to in Ping Cheng, she could still earn ten thousand yuan.

With this salary as a guarantee, Qiao Nan set her eyes on a location and bought herself an off-plan house without a second word. It would take a longer time to get this room. However, she wasn’t in a hurry. Her current landlord wasn’t bad. The environment was good and her neighbors weren’t bad people. Furthermore, an off-plan house was cheaper. In Qiao Nan’s situation, an off-plan house was more suitable for her.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are all kinds of fishes in the sea. How could there be such a daughter with no conscience in this world? Upon knowing that her sister is about to die from an illness, she left her in the lurch and went to lead a good life on her own. How shameless.”

Qiao Nan’s first month in Qingshui Town was pretty good. When she went to the small supermarket to buy a bottle of soy sauce home, the husband-and-wife owners of the supermarket were watching the news. Qiao Nan didn’t see what news was being broadcast but heard a noisy crying.

After listening to the lady boss’s words, Qiao Nan glanced at the TV. Then, her face darkened. The person crying on TV wasn’t anyone else but Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi said in tears that she and Qiao Dongliang were already old and had no working ability. They should have been at the age of retirement now and enjoying the blessings of their children. However, they were unwilling to become their children’s burden and thus only spent a few yuan a day. They could work hard to support themselves.

It was just that their elder daughter was too seriously ill. If she didn’t undergo a kidney transplant, the monthly cost of various treatments that could cure only the symptoms but not the disease would be exceptionally high. It was something that the two of them couldn’t afford.

At this moment, their younger daughter even played the disappearing act. They really had no choice but to seek the help of the TV station to see if they could help find their younger daughter back. They didn’t ask for a lot. They only hoped that their younger daughter would contribute a little on account that they were biological sisters and not leave her in the lurch. Then, they wouldn’t need to send off their own child.

In front of the cameras, it was without a doubt that Ding Jiayi was very successful in putting up a pitiful act. Wasn’t the lady boss of the supermarket outraged by the injustice to Ding Jiayi?

“You women just like to blindly kick up a fuss. I’m guessing that this woman, maybe even her entire family, isn’t anything good. It doesn’t mean that whoever is crying pitifully must be a good person. In this world, there’s no such logic.”
