Chapter 93 93 Ding Xiang had been in a state of panic for the entire afternoon. Now that she saw her...

The car arrived at the gate of the compound. Ding Guo saw through the car window two men in military uniforms in front of him. One was pushing a bicycle, and the other was dragging a young man towards the compound. The military uniforms were covered with dust. The young man who was being dragged was not cooperating and was still struggling.

Afterwards, a group of people ran out of the compound. The middle-aged woman in the lead rushed towards the young man who was being dragged, hugged him, cried and slapped him, and another middle-aged man went over and said something to the two men in military uniforms.

These are Pan Yuanzheng and Zhang Shuhua.

In addition to these two people, Ding Guo also saw Pan Dingfeng, Ding Nianjun, as well as Ding Zhigang, Yue Hongmei, Lu Xiaomei and Ding Jianshe who all looked unhappy and a little embarrassed. Yue Hongmei walked carefully to Zhang Shuhua and spoke hesitantly.

Ding Guo turned on the small speaker, and the sound from the front came through clearly.

"It's good that it's found, it's good that it's found..." This was Yue Hongmei's voice, with a slightly flattering tone.

Ding Nianjun's soft sobbing could also be heard, but no one in the group paid attention to her, including her husband who had just gotten married today, and they all gathered around the young man.

Through the car window, Ding Guo saw Zhang Shuhua's sharp eyes shooting at Yue Hongmei, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Luckily my son is fine. If anything happened, I would let your son pay for my son's life."

The car drove past them smoothly. It was noisy outside and no one paid attention to the passing vehicles, let alone the people sitting in the cars.

Ding Guo turned his head and took a look, just in time to see Yue Hongmei's stiff face and the voice coming from the small speaker: "Jiandang and Xiangxiang didn't mean it, the two children are still young..."

Pan's mother sneered, "Young? Thirteen or fourteen is still young? It has nothing to do with age. This person is a bad seed from the root. Our family is so unlucky to have relatives like you!"

Yue Hongmei was furious and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Ding Zhigang. He said, "Mother-in-law, you can't say anything. The two children know they are wrong. They have no ill intentions. They really wanted to take them out to play..."

"Don't you feel guilty about saying this? If you didn't feel guilty, why did you let those two little bastards go back to the guesthouse? Why didn't you dare let those two little bastards stay in the compound together..." Pan's mother's hysterical voice interrupted Ding Zhigang's words, and the voice became farther and farther away and gradually disappeared.

The car was going too fast, beyond the reception range of the small speakers.

Ding Guo regretted that he only listened to half of it, and asked the driver Xiao He: "Comrade He, what happened?"

Xiao He said, "I don't know the details, I just know the general idea. Commander Pan's second son is getting married today, and the wedding was very noisy. There were two children from the bride's family, and they might have been playing around, so they coaxed Commander Pan's eldest son out... Oh, his eldest son had a high fever when he was a child and his brain was damaged, so he has some intellectual disabilities. After those two children coaxed Commander Pan's eldest son out, they came back on their own. The Pan family searched for him for a long time, and luckily they found him."

Ding Guo was silent.

She didn't like the Pan family, but she didn't deny that Pan's mother loved her son dearly. The fool in the Pan family was much happier than the original owner. Even though he had intellectual disabilities, he still had a family who cared about him and loved him.

When Pan's mother rushed out just now, Ding Guo could see that her face was pale, her eyes were red, her slightly loose eyelids were swollen, and the slap she slapped on her son's shoulder was full of disappointment, which showed how much she cared about her son.

The car stopped downstairs of Pei's house. Ding Guo was carrying two net bags, one filled with pastries, the other filled with a few pears, and she was also holding a large bag of fresh dates wrapped in brown paper.

Xiao He went to pick her up, so she had to go upstairs and tell her colleagues so that they wouldn't worry. She took this opportunity to buy some gifts from the system mall, and also bought a piece of kraft paper and wrapped some dates. She couldn't go to the door empty-handed today.

After entering the room, Mr. Pei first looked at Ding Guo's expression. Seeing that she looked relaxed and did not seem to be sad at all, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xiao He knew Ding Guo's name, he did not associate him with the most popular person in the compound today.

The old man is different. Since he knows Qi Guangming's case, he cannot escape the conflict between Ding Guo and Qi Guangming. The root cause of the further conflict will naturally become clear to him.

But he only learned today that the second son of the Pan family was getting married, and that Ding Guo's parents had come to the capital, and that Ding Guo did not come to attend the wedding.

It is not clear whether it was because of his family's disapproval or because Ding Guo himself was unwilling to participate.

He didn't quite understand the relationship between Ding Guo and the Ding family, and thought the little girl would be upset or something. After hearing the news, he hurriedly sent Xiao He to the guesthouse and took Ding Guo home for dinner. If she was in a bad mood, he could comfort her with a few words. Now it seems that he was overthinking.

Fortunately, Ding Guo did not attend the wedding, otherwise he would have suffered the consequences as well.

The eldest son of the Pan family was missing, and the army had arranged for people to go out and help look for him. I didn't know if they had found him. I was just thinking about this in my mind, and was about to greet Ding Guo when I heard Xiao He say, "Commander, Pan Tiancheng has been found."

Mr. Pei was stunned for a moment, then nodded to show that he understood, and hurriedly called Ding Guo: "Xiao Ding, wash your hands and eat. Let's eat hot mutton."

Ding Guo handed the food in his hand to Aunt Zhang and said with a smile, "I smelled the aroma of mutton as soon as I walked in."

When Mr. Pei saw her taking the things, he didn't refuse too much, and just said: "Don't bring things to our house in the future, it will make you look unfashionable."

"Got it, Grandpa Pei!"

The second time they came, the atmosphere was less awkward than yesterday. Ding Guo went to the kitchen to wash his hands, helped Aunt Zhang bring out a plate of sliced ​​radish, and sat down to eat.

Noticing Mr. Pei's concerned looks at her several times, Ding Guo vaguely guessed the reason. She felt that since she had that kind of relationship with Pei Che, and it seemed that Mr. Pei was easy to get along with, there would be no resistance from the family. Mr. Pei also knew about the conflict between her and the Pan family. She felt that some things needed to be explained more clearly. She didn't want the Pei family to give her any special consideration when there were special circumstances because they didn't understand her relationship with the Pan and Ding families. She would be sick of that.

So he just brought up today's topic: "Grandpa Pei, what's going on at the Pan family today? Comrade He just mentioned it, and it seems like it was caused by my younger brother and sister."

Xiao He dropped her off and left without following her in.

Old Master Pei was slightly startled. He was a little surprised that Ding Guo would take the initiative to talk about this. After a pause, he said, "I also heard from others that the two children from the bride's family took the eldest son of the Pan family out to play and did not bring him back. The Pan family was furious, and Dingfeng's mother even slapped the two children. I didn't ask for details." At last, he asked carefully, "Xiao Ding, you and your family..."

Ding Guo smiled calmly and said, "The relationship is very bad, there is not much affection, and there is no intention to repair it."

Mr. Pei nodded, and did not rush to express any opinion on whether this matter was right or wrong. Instead, he asked gently: "Can you tell Grandpa Pei about your past?"

Ding Guo was a little surprised. People of this generation, especially the older generation, all adhere to the educational philosophy of "there are no wrong parents in the world". She thought she would get some lectures, but unexpectedly the old man did not use those concepts to pressure her, but asked her to talk about the past.

Ding Guo briefly talked about the environment in which the original owner grew up, how he only stayed with his parents for a short time, and the situation of Yue Hongmei adopting Ding Nianjun.

The old man nodded in understanding: "With such parents, it is reasonable for children not to be close to each other. Your parents have not fulfilled their responsibility of raising you. If you don't need to provide support for them in the future, you can gain some respect from others."

His judgment was correct. When the girl came in, there was no sadness on her face about being excluded by her family. Perhaps it was because she didn't care about her so-called family.

This is good, quiet!

After Mr. Pei finished speaking, Ding Guo's eyes lit up slightly. It was worth considering long-term development for his partner to have such an open-minded old man in his family.

While they were enjoying hotpot here, the Ding family returned to the guesthouse hungry. They were silent the whole way. It was not that they did not want to express their opinions or curse, but they were exhausted after a busy day and did not have the energy to talk.

According to the original plan, they were to leave on the train tonight, but who would have thought that while the wedding was going well, Jiandang and Xiangxiang got into trouble and lost the stupid son of the Ding family. How could they leave under such circumstances?

When they arrived at the entrance of the guesthouse, Lu Xiaomei said, "Mom, Jiandang and Xiangxiang probably haven't eaten yet. I'll go buy some food."

She hadn't eaten either, and neither had her parents-in-law or her brother-in-law. She was so hungry that she felt anxious, but she couldn't say that. Her mother-in-law wouldn't say anything if she mentioned her youngest brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

After her daughter-in-law reminded her, Yue Hongmei remembered that she hadn't eaten anything at noon. She felt very hungry and said hurriedly, "Buy more. We haven't eaten yet! Jianshe, go with your sister-in-law and buy some food to fill your stomach."

Lu Xiaomei and Ding Jianshe left, and Yue Hongmei and Ding Zhigang went upstairs.

Thinking of Jiandang and Xiangxiang, Yue Hongmei walked quickly and knocked on the door. Looking at her little daughter with red eyes from crying, she felt distressed and hurried to look at her face. Her face was no longer swollen, but still a little red.

Ding Jiandang was also slapped, but boys have thicker skin, so there was no visible redness or swelling.

"Mom!" Ding Xiang had been in panic for the entire afternoon. Now seeing her mother coming back, she threw herself into Yue Hongmei's arms and cried until she was out of breath. Ding Jiandang also cried.

After living in fear for the entire afternoon and having no food to eat, Ding Jiandang, who had never suffered any hardship or injustice, could not hold it in any longer.

Yue Hongmei tried to comfort him with a distressed look, while gritting her teeth, she said, "That old bitch still blamed me for sending the two children back, and then she beat them. If I didn't send them back, would they continue to be beaten there? She also said that I was guilty, but what do I have to be guilty of?"

Ding Zhigang waited until the two children had almost finished crying before he said, "That's enough, you're crying now! Why did you bother that idiot for no reason?"

Ding Jiandang wiped his tears and said, "Sister Nianjun asked us to help take care of my brother-in-law's eldest brother, let us take him out to play, and gave us five yuan to buy snacks at the nearby supply and marketing cooperative. My second brother also said that it was too embarrassing for a fool to stand there drooling at Sister Nianjun's wedding. We were clearly helping..."

Ding Zhigang was stunned: "It was your sister Nianjun who asked you to take Pan, Pan Tiancheng out?"

Ding Xiang sobbed and nodded: "We really were helping, who would have thought that the idiot would disappear after we came out of the store."

Yue Hongmei hurriedly said, "Sister Nianjun had good intentions, and she even gave you money to buy food for that idiot. But you meant well but ended up doing something bad."

What the second son said was right. It was such a festive wedding, but a fool standing there drooling and sniffling was just dirty to look at.

The Pan family was the same. They let their stupid son come out to embarrass themselves in such a grand occasion. No wonder Jianshe felt uncomfortable.

Xiangxiang and Jiandang are just young, how can they take care of others?

Ding Zhigang felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After Lu Xiaomei and Ding Jianshe came back with the meal, the whole family ate voraciously.

The eldest son of the Pan family was missing before the lunch break, so who would have time to eat? So the Ding family had been hungry since morning. If they hadn't had something bothering them (being scolded by Pan's mother all day), they would have died long ago.

I was eating so much that I couldn’t even lift my head up.

After eating and drinking, the family rested for a while and started talking again.

Ding Zhigang asked Ding Jianshe: "Did you suggest that Xiangxiang and Jiandang take the idiot from the Pan family out this morning?"

Ding Jianshe nodded: "I said that. I should have followed them at that time, but I saw that Brother Dingfeng's friends were making a lot of noise, and I was afraid that Sister Nianjun would suffer, so I didn't follow. But I couldn't say it in front of Uncle Pan and Aunt Pan during the day."

How can you say that you think someone else's stupid son is shameful?

"Anyway, Xiangxiang and Jiandang weren't fools who lost me on purpose. Besides, I've been found now." Ding Jianshe sighed again, "With such an uncle, if my sister and brother Dingfeng don't move out, their future life will be miserable."

Sister Nianjun’s mother-in-law is not easy to serve, she’s like a shrew.

"Who said it wasn't? If it was the single-family building that Nianjun mentioned before, there would be a partition between the upstairs and downstairs. But how are the houses divided now? If you turn around, you see a fool standing there grinning and drooling. How can you live like this?" Yue Hongmei said dissatisfiedly.

Although the Pan family's house was much more spacious than her own, Yue Hongmei felt bad for Nianjun because of the new fool.

Pan family!

Mother Pan washed her eldest son's hands and face, changed his clothes, and gave him some biscuits to eat. She looked at Ding Nianjun and said, "Someone saw you talking to your brother and sister. Not long after, your brother and sister took Tiancheng away. You arranged it, right? What is your intention?"

Ding Nianjun's expression changed slightly: "Mom, I..."

Father Pan sat on the sofa with a gloomy face.

Under such pressure, Pan Dingfeng originally didn't dare to speak, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Hearing this, he looked at his newlywed wife in surprise.

Ding Nianjun sobbed softly and said, "I, I don't have any ulterior motives. I just want my younger brothers and sisters to help take care of big brother, and I want my younger brothers and sisters to be closer to big brother..."

Pan's mother let go of her eldest son's hand, rushed over and slapped him hard.

Bang!

A crisp sound rang out in the house. Ding Nianjun's body tilted due to the beating. Pan Dingfeng hurried over to support her and said, "Mom, Nianjun is still pregnant. Besides, she really didn't mean it."

Mother Pan's cheeks twitched with anger, and she yelled, "She didn't do it on purpose? I think she did it on purpose. If she was honest, why didn't she say it during the day? Also, you couldn't ask someone to take care of your eldest brother in the hotel, so you had to take him outside to take care of him? And you arranged two little brats to take care of him!"

"Mom, I really didn't. Xiangxiang and Jiandang are at the age where they love to play, after all. I didn't expect them to take big brother out to play." Ding Nianjun cried, "I, I was scared during the day, I didn't, I didn't dare to say anything, I really didn't mean it."

Pan Dingfeng felt that his mother was making a big deal out of nothing. He had a lot of contact with Xiangxiang and Jiandang, and it was impossible for them to have bad intentions. They were just young and not well taken care of. They were indeed at the age where they loved to play.

Father Pan glanced at his son and daughter-in-law with a gloomy look, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's cook and eat first. After dinner, Dingfeng, come with me for a walk. We have to go and thank the neighbors who helped find your eldest brother today."

Pan Dingfeng nodded and glanced at Ding Nianjun. Ding Nianjun understood and turned into the kitchen with a burning cheek.
