Chapter 1590: Can’t Afford To Have Such Relatives
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After hearing Zhai Yaohui’s words, Qiao Nan did not do anything else. All she did was to upload a recording on the platform on which she had been lambasted.
Half a month ago, people in the capital may not have recognized the voices of the two women in the recording. But now, once they opened the file, the majority of the public immediately recognized that arrogant voice. It belonged to the sister of a certain minister who had been splashed all over the headlines recently: Qiao Zijin.
After listening to the contents of the recording, anyone with a brain could guess that the other one with a crisp and clear voice belonged to the main person embroiled in this scandal, that minister herself!
After identifying the two main characters in the recording, everyone who discovered this uploaded recording and clicked on it to listen could not help but hold their breaths, reduce the ambient noises, and perk up their ears to listen.
Once they finished listening to the recording in its entirety, many people were stunned. Was that really the truth of the matter?
It could not be denied that the 21st century was the era of the internet. After this other truth surfaced, many people started to regret, worry, and even hesitate. With two truths, which one was the real truth?
And so, there quickly emerged a whole range of keyboard warriors and ‘analysts’ who tried to determine the veracity of this recording. Very quickly, professionals determined that the recording was indeed complete. He could not tell if anyone had edited the start and end of the recording out, but he could confirm that the entire recording had not been pieced together or edited otherwise. This was because the voice tones of the two people had been the same throughout the whole recording. This showed that the voices had not been altered.
As for the analysts, they based their analysis solely on the content of the recording, as well as whatever Qiao Zijin had publicly announced to the media in this past month.
The analysts expressed that Qiao Zijin did not look her age. As for Qiao Nan, she was not only of age but also had the ability to work, and was even far from the age of retirement. Which abled adults with no fixed source of income would not want to find a stable job to support themselves? Would they really accuse their own sister of ignoring them now that their sister had become rich?
If Qiao Zijin was not looking to glean anything off her sister’s fame, why would it be a problem for Qiao Zijin if her sister looked down on someone else? Sometimes, it was better if one was not too proud. After all, there would always be a difference between people. The younger sister was a minister, but no one had ever mentioned what the elder sister was. With such a difference in their social statuses, was it bad for the younger sister to be a little proud?
Moreover, up until now, there was no evidence to prove that that certain minister’s haughty behavior toward Qiao Zijin was due to her disdain for Qiao Zijin. Could it really be that their relationship was poor solely because of the difference in their statuses? No, such discords between relatives were usually due to money.
That certain minister had married well and had a good job. Even if she needed money, she would never have asked for money from Qiao Zijin. Conversely, Qiao Zijin, who had been making a fuss for the past half a month, did not look like she was at the age of retirement, yet she was not working. From this, it was easy to tell that Qiao Zijin was the one who needed money.
The results of this analysis were hugely supported by the recording.
Anyone who had ears to listen could tell that Qiao Zijin’s tone in the recording was not only haughty, but she had even shamelessly opened her mouth and made ridiculous demands of her own biological younger sister. Not only had she asked for her sister to provide a living space for her free of charge, but it even had to be a large one, hinting at wanting to live in a villa.
Hahaha!
Where was this? This was the capital! Even renting a basement apartment cost a few hundred yuan a month! She wanted to live on other’s expenses, and she even wanted a large space that was quiet, best if it was a villa. How could she be so shameless?
They were only sisters, not mother and daughter. Even if they were really mother and daughter, children had no right to make such unreasonable demands toward their parents and force their parents to satisfy them. Similarly, parents should not make such ridiculous and inhumane demands toward their children either.
If everyone did so, the world would be in chaos. How many people in the world were like Qiao Zijin and had relatives who were able to fulfill such requests? One had to be all sorts of rich to dare to even call Qiao Zijin their sister. Was Qiao Zijin made of gold? Or would they be able to live longer if they were to acknowledge Qiao Zijin as their sister?
Otherwise, why did the elder sister not need to take care of the younger sister? Quite the contrary, it was the younger sister who had to support the elder sister and fulfill her demands?
They really wanted to curse and swear. One must have accumulated bad luck over ten lifetimes to have such an elder sister.
It was enough that she had hinted at wanting to live in a villa, but Qiao Zijin had still been so casual and gave off an air that said ‘it’s only because I think highly of you that I’m taking your money’. It was as though Qiao Zijin thought that giving her four or five thousand yuan a month was giving her sister a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bless her. ‘I’m not taking more from you because I’m not greedy as an elder sister. I’m not taking more because I’m the best sister in the world.’
The analyst wanted to laugh out loud. It was true that four or five thousand yuan was not a large sum in the capital. But the problem was that looking at one’s salary alone, four or five thousand was not considered small either. But, and this was the biggest but. She wanted it for free! Free!
As an elder sister, she was taking money from her younger sister with an attitude as though she deserved it. Was this really a thing?
If this was considered normal, and that certain minister did not refuse such a ridiculous request, everyone with siblings did not even need to think about living anymore.
What? Did you say that the minister was rich and the ordinary person was not, so it would be all right for the minister to spare them some? After all, no matter how ridiculous Qiao Zijin’s demands were, this was just a small change to that minister.
Hahaha!
Even if that minister had chanced upon a windfall, it was normal for her to support her parents. But was it really her duty to support her sister and her niece? If Qiao Zijin was paraplegic, blind, or bedridden, and had no way of providing for herself, then perhaps you could say that.
But even if one had too much money, they should never spend it on someone who was able-bodied and was not disabled in any way, and was even lazing around at home. If you were in her place, would you agree to it? Then, that would be good news for all the elder siblings out there. They did not need to study or work anymore. They did not need to worry about their future because there would be someone who would provide for them!
It would be all right even if there was no villa. They could just squeeze together under the same roof.
