Ding Guo was disgusted by a certain period novel she read. A character with her exact name and surname had a persona: a saintly female supporting character who would sacrifice everything for her fa...
Chapter 167 167 Mom, you have me and Dingfeng in the future
Seeing Ding Zhigang coming back, Aunt Fang stood up with a big smile on her face: "I was just talking about you!"
Huang Meihua glanced at her uncle and asked, "Uncle, are you done with everything?"
Ding Zhigang nodded tiredly and looked at Aunt Fang: "Auntie, I just heard it. Although I know you have good intentions, I have just come to an end. I really don't have the mood to do it. I'm sorry to have made you run for nothing."
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Aunt Fang opened her mouth but didn't say anything to persuade him. She said, "Okay, if you change your mind, come find me in the back."
But Huang Meihua didn't care about what her uncle thought. After sending Aunt Fang away, she said bluntly, "Uncle, don't blame me, your sister-in-law, for speaking harshly. When Aunt... Yue Hongmei was still married, her parents started to arrange things for her. We can't fall behind, right? Besides, you are not that old. Do you still have to stay with Yue Hongmei?"
Ding Zhige coughed beside him, trying to get his wife to shut up. Huang Meihua turned around and glared at him, saying unhappily, "What? What I said is wrong?"
Huang Meihua had her own plan. If she helped her eldest uncle arrange a marriage before leaving, her eldest uncle would remember her as a favor. She would also consider her new sister-in-law as one of their own and would definitely not have any estrangement with them like Yue Hongmei did.
Her daughter Taozi will have someone to look after her in the city.
However, Ding Zhigang declined politely, as he really was not in the mood for it.
Ding Xiang and Ding Jiandang, who had been hiding in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard their father's refusal.
They don't want to have another stepmother. This country bumpkin is really meddling in other people's business.
If he doesn't want to, then he doesn't want to. If his uncle is not happy, she can't force him with a knife, so Huang Meihua didn't insist anymore.
On the other side, Yue Hongmei cried all the way on the bus while carrying her bag, which attracted many passengers' attention. A kind-hearted lady even came over to ask if she had encountered any difficulties.
If the gossip wasn't so obvious in the old lady's eyes, Yue Hongmei would really want to find someone to vent her grievances to.
After getting off the bus, he carried his luggage and walked for more than half an hour before returning to Xiaowang Village, where Ding Nianjun and his friends rented a house.
Ding Nianjun was holding her child and playing under the shade of a tree in the yard, with a worried look on her face.
She was also concerned about the conflict between her parents and didn't know what the final outcome would be. But now her father was angry and had made it clear that he no longer recognized her as his daughter, so she didn't dare to visit him at the moment.
Just when I was thinking about going to see my eldest brother tomorrow to ask him about the progress, I saw the door of my house was pushed open, and Yue Hongmei walked in with red and swollen eyes, carrying a large bag.
"mom!"
When Ding Nianjun saw her mother like this, her heart skipped a beat and she thought of a possibility.
Divorced?
"Mom has broken up with that heartless guy. From now on, it's just the two of us." Yue Hongmei said this and started crying again.
Although Ding Nianjun had made all kinds of mental preparations, and even preferred the outcome that his parents would divorce, he was still stunned for a moment when he heard what Yue Hongmei said.
After a long while, she said, "Mom, let's get a divorce. This is not your fault. It's Dad who can't get over it. He is obsessed with it and it makes you suffer. Don't worry, you have Dingfeng and me in the future. We will live as a family of four. Dingfeng and I will take care of you in your old age."
Yue Hongmei was so moved that she hugged her Junjun and burst into tears.
She is worthy of being the daughter she holds in her heart. At the critical moment, it still has to be Junjun.
Ding Nianjun was also somewhat moved and felt a little sad. He also couldn't understand why his fate had so many twists and turns.
She published an announcement in the newspaper to cut off ties with her biological parents, and even reported her personally when her biological mother came to find her. However, her biological mother actually rehabilitated her and still held a grudge against her for reporting her, and refused to recognize her.
In addition to this, there is the hatred between my grandmother and my parents-in-law. Even if Yu Shaofen wanted to recognize her, she couldn't. Oh, it's really fate that plays tricks on people.
Now as for her adoptive parents...her adoptive father has also abandoned her, leaving only her adoptive mother.
What kind of fate is this for her!
After Yue Hongmei calmed down, Ding Nianjun asked about the details of the process. She was vaguely disappointed to learn that Yue Hongmei was almost kicked out of the house with nothing.
But think about the current situation of the Ding family, even if you want to fight, you won’t get anything.
But she still couldn't help but speak up for Yue Hongmei: "No matter what, Dad is too cruel. Even if Mom has no credit, she has worked hard. Besides, you did nothing wrong. But you should think more positively. Dad is so heartless that he doesn't even want to pay a little money. I guess he took into account that Xiangxiang and Jiandang are still young. I can understand that he wants to support them, but it's hard for Mom."
Speaking of her youngest daughter and son, Yue Hongmei complained again: "I really didn't expect those two ungrateful little bastards would not side with me at the critical moment."
Ding Nianjun thought and judged: "It shouldn't be like this. Xiangxiang and Jiandang are both sensible children... Mom, did Second Aunt and Third Aunt say something in private?"
Yue Hongmei was startled, and immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't Mom think of this? It must be, it must be those two village women who instigated it!"
Why didn't she think of this?
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Xiangxiang and Jiandang are also two stupid people. They just listen to whatever others say. I have never seen them listen to me so much."
Someone was found to take the blame, but Yue Hongmei still couldn't accept the betrayal of her younger daughter and son. She was so angry that she felt dizzy.
Ding Nianjun chatted with her for a while, and then she mentioned that Yue Hongmei would look after the children in the city while she would go to the village to accompany Pan Dingfeng. She didn't tell her the complete plan, but just said shyly: "Mom, I'm worried about Dingfeng being alone in the village, I want to go over and stay for a few days."
Yue Hongmei nodded in agreement. Although her son-in-law was not as glorious as before, he still looked very good. Nianjun had to go around the village and declare his sovereignty, otherwise it would be bad if he was noticed by other little goblins.
"Go ahead, and try to give Huihui a younger brother or sister next year." Yue Hongmei said encouragingly.
Moreover, now that she and Ding Zhigang are divorced, she doesn't have to worry about anything else. She wants Nianjun to go back and recognize her relatives and take Dingfeng with her. In the future, when Dingfeng works in that village, he will not be bullied.
It is always better to have more elders to help you than to be alone and helpless.
Her only worry was that once Ding Nianjun left, Huihui would have to be weaned, which made her feel very distressed.
Ding Nianjun was willing to do so. She touched her son's head and gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, this child was born at the wrong time. It's his fate. If we stop breastfeeding, we can still have formula. Now his father and I have to fight for our future. Since this child chose to come at this time, it means he is ready to share the joys and sorrows with me and his father. I believe my son will not blame us."
Yue Hongmei felt sad and her eyes turned red after hearing this.
Ding Nianjun was also somewhat moved and turned his head away.
If life hadn't given her so many hardships, why would she work so hard?
It’s all Ding Guo’s fault!
If Ding Guo had honestly agreed to marry the big brother Ding Feng at the beginning, or if she had not insisted after her side changed the candidate, there would not have been all the troubles later.
Ding Nianjun was very determined. Although her father-in-law was wrong, if it weren't for the series of events that happened before, perhaps her father-in-law's affairs would not have been brought to light.
So in the final analysis, the source of all the trouble was Ding Guo's.
But what can she do now? She can only temporarily suppress this account and find a way to get back at it after she and Dingfeng get back together.
So she had to help Dingfeng expand his relationships as soon as possible. She had to make money. When her pockets were full, she could use the money to pave a bright future for Dingfeng's career.
As for Yue Hongmei's suggestion of recognizing relatives, Ding Nianjun did not agree immediately. She had to observe the Zhang family's character and strength first before deciding whether to recognize them or not.
However, Yue Hongmei said that she looked somewhat like her biological father. Even if she denied it, as long as she appeared in the village, people would be able to tell.
We'll see how the situation develops then.
But we have to hurry up and go to the countryside.
When she was about to implement it, her parents started to get a divorce, which interrupted her plans. Now that things were set in stone, Ding Nianjun was afraid that other unexpected events might occur, so she didn't plan to delay. She packed her things that night, left fifty yuan and some receipts for Yue Hongmei, and went to the station with her luggage.
On the other side, Ding Guo rode his bike home after finishing his night shift and met Ding Dayong and Song Yuling at the door of his house.
Dayong just went to the guesthouse to pick up Song Yuling.
"sister!"
The two shouted together.
Ding Guo responded with a smile and followed them into the house. The whole family sat down to have breakfast.
Last night, Dayong and his third aunt and her son jointly prepared a very nice table and formally received Song Yuling.
Peng Guihua gave Song Yuling a red envelope, which contained ten big unity banknotes.
I borrowed the money from Ding Guo.
There was no other way. She hadn't expected to meet her future daughter-in-law this time, so she only brought money roughly enough for their trip. Even if she had some extra money, she wouldn't have that much left.
Ding Dayong had saved over a hundred yuan. He kept a little of his monthly salary for himself and mailed the rest back home, but he had a lot of things planned out in his mind to buy for Yuling, so he couldn't be without money.
Peng Guihua first borrowed money from her niece for emergency use, and then Dayong paid it back with his salary.
In short, Uncle and Aunt are very satisfied with their future daughter-in-law; Song Yuling also gets along well with her future mother-in-law. Now the only thing left is Song's parents.
Peng Guihua is now worried that the Song family’s parents are not satisfied with their family’s conditions and will not agree to the two children being together.
But fortunately, the two children are still young, so Dayong has plenty of time to fight for it, and also time to work hard, strive to achieve some results and add points to himself.
"Let them discuss it themselves. I will try not to interfere." Peng Guihua said to Ding Guo in a low voice with a smile on her face, "No matter whether they get married early or late, I will be responsible for arranging it with all my heart."
Ding Guo turned around to look at the young couple laughing in the yard and gave Auntie San a thumbs up: "It's right not to get involved!"
Peng Guihua rolled her eyes and continued to eat the pancakes she was going to take out to eat. She said, "It's not as good as your uncle and I living our own lives if you get involved with the younger generation. I'm not stupid!"
After making some pancakes and filling everyone's kettle with well water, the family locked the door and set out.
I went to the staff quarters and called my second uncle and second aunt.
Huang Meihua had been waiting at home for a long time. She called Ding Xiang and Ding Jiandang and asked them if they wanted to go out and play with her. Ding Xiang shook her head decisively, with a look of disgust on her face.
She doesn't like any of the two sets of relatives in her hometown, and there is an even more annoying Ding Guo among them. She just doesn't want to go out and play with these people.
Ding Xiang didn't want to go. Although Ding Jiandang was somewhat tempted, Ding Xiang glared at him, so he quickly refused Huang Meihua.
Huang Meihua didn't insist, she was just being polite.
She had already seen through these two ungrateful people, who looked down on them by relying on their city dwellers' status.
She put a few steamed buns into the cloth bag and called her husband to go out.
As soon as Huang Meihua and Ding Zhige left, Ding Xiang spat fiercely: "Bah, two country bumpkins."
With two more people in the house, not only is it crowded, but the second aunt also keeps bossing her around all the time, which annoys her to death.
Huang Meihua doesn’t know that she is hated by others, and even if she knows she doesn’t care.
When they arrived at the gate of the family compound, Huang Meihua saw Song Yuling and was a little surprised to learn that she was Ding Dayong's girlfriend.
When Huang Meihua heard that Song Yuling's family was from the capital and that she had a formal job, and that they met at Ding Guo's wedding, she was extremely envious.
I thought that Dayong was really lucky to be taken care of by Ding Guo. He escaped from the farming family and now had a girlfriend in the capital. There was nothing to say about the future of the third room.
Huang Meihua found an opportunity to talk to Ding Guo: "This girl looks much better than Jianguo's wife."
Ding Guo rolled his eyes: "Second Aunt, find a good person to compare with."
There's absolutely no comparison between the two, okay?
Huang Meihua smiled and approached Ding Guo: "Why hasn't Taozi believed it yet? Does that guy not like Taozi?"
She had seen the photo of the soldier that her niece's husband introduced to Taozi, and she was quite fond of his appearance. However, Taozi said that she had sent her photo out and had not received any letter from that comrade. She didn't know whether he didn't like her or the letter had not arrived yet.
Ding Guo gave Huang Meihua some reassurance: "The letter is on the way."
Huang Meihua immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole family went out to climb the mountain together and had lunch on the mountain.
In the afternoon, I took them to the largest park in Fengning and took a few photos together.
It was a rare luxury to take a photo with Ding Zhige alone while enjoying the yellow plum blossoms.
When she returned to the family compound in the afternoon and waited for Ding Zhigang to get off work, she told him that Ding Dayong had found a girlfriend.
"That girl looks pretty good. Her family is from the capital. They met when Ding Guo got married. They started dating after they fell in love with each other. The girl works in the post office as a formal employee. Her father is a director of a post office..."
At this point, Huang Meihua finally realized, when did Ding Guo know the director's daughter?
Could it be a relative of Ding Guo’s husband?
Oh, she hadn’t thought of it before. She should have asked Ding Guo earlier.
Ding Zhigang felt sad.
He had known long ago that his eldest daughter was capable, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find a job on her own, so he brought Dayong with him.
But when he learned about the person she was looking for and the conditions of his family, he realized that his eldest daughter was more capable than he had imagined.
Now, a good marriage has been arranged for Dayong. According to Huang Meihua, the conditions are better than those of the wife Jianguo has found.
If Jianguo hadn't gotten married, if he and Ding Guo hadn't fallen out...
Ding Zhigang rubbed his face. He couldn't think about it. It hurt his heart to think about it.
He didn't want to, but his brain had its own operating rules, and he couldn't help but think about some things.
When Ding Nianjun first found Pan Dingfeng, he thought Ding Nianjun was very ambitious. He had dated someone with such good conditions, and he also imagined that Ding Nianjun would lead the entire family to soar. In the end, the family did not succeed, and the Pan family's own wings were broken.
The partner that Ding Guo has found now is better than Pan Dingfeng before, but his family has become estranged from Ding Guo and now they can only watch Ding Guo fly away on his own with envy.
Ding Zhigang rubbed his face again, as if this could wipe away all the regrets in his heart, but all he could actually rub away was the mud on his face.
The next day, I spent another day strolling in Fengning, but Huang Meihua couldn't stay any longer.
Peng Guihua was also preparing to return, holding Song Yuling's hand and letting her have time to go to Huiyang to play.
Ding Guo bought some local specialties for them and made a batch of baked steamed buns and bread. Although they were a little drier and more stiff to eat, they had a relatively longer shelf life and were convenient to eat on the train.
She also fried a large portion of shredded pickled vegetables with chili peppers. She was willing to use more oil, so it went well with rice as a staple food.
I took a few bottles of chili sauce and some canned meat that had been kept in the space for Aunt San.
When Ding Dayong bought the tickets for them, he bought an extra ticket to Wuxin. He accompanied his parents, second uncle and second mother to Wuxin, and then sent them to the connecting train before taking the bus back.
Ding Guo took Song Yuling and the brothers Dazhu and Dalin who stayed in Fengning to prepare for the evening dinner at home.
She switched to the day shift.
Ding Guo invited Xiao Hong and Ding Tao who did not participate in the family outing.
Playing with elders is one mode, and playing with young people is another mode.
When Ding Tao heard her mother praising Dayong's partner as better than her cousin's wife, she thought it was an exaggeration and was done to displease her uncle. Unexpectedly, after meeting him in person and getting to know him, she also felt that Dayong's partner was better than her cousin's wife.
She looks better than her cousin's wife, has a better family background and a better personality than her cousin's wife. In short, she is good in every way. When she goes back home in the evening, she will have to praise her in front of the old man.
Xiao Hong whispered to Ding Guo mysteriously.
There was someone pursuing her in the factory, he was an educated youth who had just returned to the city to be recruited for work.
"His facial features are OK, but he's a little dark. But I don't know if he has a girlfriend or a wife in the countryside, so I don't dare to respond." Xiao Hong poked Ding Guo with her arm, "Can you help me take a look at him someday?"
"Okay!" Ding Guo agreed immediately and asked, "Are you going to talk to him? Haven't you found out the answer yet?"
Xiao Hong said, "My uncle is looking for someone to help me find out, and I want you to go over and take a look first."
She lowered her voice again: "Sister Ding Guo, to be superstitious, I think you are lucky and can bring good luck to those around you."
Ding Guo was surprised. How come she didn't know that she had this attribute?
"Look, the brother Pei you met is good-looking, has a good family background, and most importantly, has good character; Dayong and Comrade Song Yuling met because of you, and the two of them are a perfect match. Moreover, your future sister-in-law has a good personality, and I like her after seeing her."
So the person she was investigating wanted Ding Guo to help.
Endowed with a lucky personality, Ding Guo decided to go to Xiao Hong for lunch tomorrow at noon to see the legendary suitor.
