Tianjiao's words made Ding Yushu's face turn pale.
But she, who regards eating as her biggest goal in life, would not give up like this. She said fiercely, "No! You are talking nonsense! Hand over the meat quickly, otherwise no one will have a meal tonight."
"Ding Yushu, how can you talk like that? You don't want others to eat. I don't think you can have dinner tonight!"
There was another familiar roar. Everyone looked and saw the old lady at the door coming over with one hand on her waist, pointing at Ding Yushu's nose and starting to curse.
She is not really a mother-in-law with a good temper, but she is not bad either. She is soft-hearted, but she is absolutely impeccable to her daughter-in-law. She has never heard of such a good daughter-in-law in the villages around. Her grandson is already one year old, and she goes out to work and works hard, and then has to cook when she comes back. Her daughter-in-law takes care of the child all day and only has to wash her own clothes. She washes the clothes of her other husband and youngest son herself.
But she always gets mad at her daughter-in-law.
At this time, Li Mizhen came back from outside and heard these words. She would come back early every day to cook. Just now, there was not enough ginger at home. With meat, ginger was naturally needed to remove the fishy smell. She hurried to get some ginger from her private plot. As soon as she came back, she heard the crying of her eldest grandson and the indignant voice of her brainless daughter-in-law.
The woman next to her even asked with a gloating look: "Hey, what's going on? Is there a quarrel at home again? I think you are too indulgent to your daughter-in-law. Whose mother-in-law is as soft and easy to bully as you?"
Li Mizhen was so angry that she almost laughed. Yes, it was because she was too soft-hearted that this lazy guy dared to yell at home.
She picked up her grandson distressedly and yelled, "Zhang Dagen, why are you walking so slowly? Is there someone holding you?"
Zhang Dagen came back in a hurry with the farm tools, but was stuffed with his baby grandson. He stole a glance at his wife and was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word. He turned around and went out with his grandson in his arms, forgetting to take off the farm tools.
Tianjiao was also frightened by the obvious prospect of another fight. He trembled a little and didn't know whether he should continue eating the bowl that was at his lips.
Zhang Rui calmly helped her hold the bowl and continued to feed her: "Eat, it's okay, you're not wrong."
She already had some trust in her new father and continued to drink the soup.
Ding Yushu was still stiff and didn't dare to move. She saw the father and daughter looking at this side with a gloating look. The fat girl had grown so fat, but she kept eating meat. She was angry and afraid, and said with her neck stiff, "Mom, you can't be so partial. Look at what Zhang Rui did. He bought meat for that damn girl and cooked it for her. My Dabao hasn't eaten anything yet!"
Li Mizhen sneered, picked up the stick and started to attack: "I am biased, do you think everyone in the house is blind when the second, third and fifth brothers cook for you from time to time? What's wrong? Now that the third brother has bought meat, you are not willing to accept it? Originally, the third brother was going to let the whole family eat together, and gave the daughter more food in advance to replenish her body. What did I do to you? You are staring at a five-year-old child like this? Ding Yushu, did you die of hunger in your previous life and be reincarnated as a ghost?"
Ding Yushu was confused by this series of slaps and scoldings. How did it become a whole family?
She dodged the stick stubbornly but didn't forget to reply: "What big family? Only that damn girl has..."
At this point, Tianjiao snorted softly, and Ding Yushu, who had been dodging very well, tripped over her front feet and fell to the ground with her back feet, just like before.
That’s too much!
Actually called her a dead girl?
No, she is not, and she has never offended her, so why does she hate her so much?
Tianjiao felt a little aggrieved, so he was naturally unhappy.
The effect came out with just this light hum.
Looking at Ding Yushu who fell to the ground and was being beaten by her mother, Zhang Rui, who was watching the whole process, began to eyelid twitching again and couldn't help but look at his daughter.
But the cute little girl was pouting and drinking her soup again, her eyes narrowed. She didn't care about the melee going on right in front of her.
It took so long to finish a bowl of soup.
Tianjiao patted his belly in satisfaction, and his bulging watermelon belly made a somewhat hollow sound, as if indicating that it was ripe.
She wiped her greasy mouth with her chubby hands and handed the bowl to Zhang Rui. The blush from the exercise had faded from her pretty face. She looked so white, tender and translucent that people wanted to take a bite. Her voice was sweet and pleasant: "Dad, there's a big piece of meat in there. Jiaojiao, I'll save it for you."
She hesitated for a long time and couldn't bear to eat it.
The father had been staring at her for so long, he must have wanted to eat meat very much, especially since she seemed to have never seen him eat anything good, which was quite pitiful, so she endured it. Every time the piece of meat came to her mouth, she ignored it and just kept drinking the soup.
This piece of meat is really big, and it is full of my daughter’s love.
Zhang Rui was speechless, and the doubts in his heart faded away. Such a cute little girl, he didn't care about anything else, after all, she was a gift from God to him.
He took the bowl, poured it out, and the remaining large piece of meat went into his mouth. It was indeed delicious: "Thank you, my little girl. Let's go, let's put the schoolbag away. Do you have homework today?"
Tianjiao nodded: "Yes, the teacher said we should write big characters, and this math..."
The two walked into the house hand in hand, and Zhang Rui quietly accompanied his daughter to do homework.
In fact, there is no need for him to accompany her at all. Tianjiao has great self-control in this regard and can understand everything, so there is no problem at all.
Just with him around, she felt better and more secure.
Zhang Rui was also in a particularly happy and peaceful mood.
He is not a person who can do things quietly. Even when he was in the factory or with the carpenter, he always liked to joke with others. But at this time, he could calmly accompany his daughter to do homework.
If my sixteen-year-old self saw my twenty-something self like this, I would probably be scared to death. No, I should say that my twenty-day-ago self wouldn’t even dare to believe it.
Family love is a wonderful thing.
After deciding to take in this little girl, he instinctively wanted to become a better father that she admired, instinctively became more patient with her, and instinctively wanted to take care of her in every possible way.
…
After the fight outside ended, Zhang Zhi came back and saw that the yard was in a mess again. Ding Yushu was crying in the room. He rushed into the house with a headache to coax his wife: "Wife, look, Ding Ding Candy, I found it while driving this afternoon, so I changed some."
Actually, he bought it, but at that time, private transactions were not allowed, so he could only exchange things, so he still used the exchange method.
Ding Yushu paused in her tears, took the candy, and opened it while mumbling, "Do you know how much your brother has gone too far? He bought meat for that damn girl..."
Zhang Zhi said more seriously: "Jiaojiao is a child of the Zhang family. You can't say that. The child will feel upset if he hears it."
His wife is not good at talking, and most of the things she says are not nice. He has been used to it since they met, but they are all rough men, so it is not a big deal normally. Now that there is a soft girl in the family, he naturally cannot call her a dead girl like that.
He had seen Ding Yushu call her mother's child a "dead girl" before, so he didn't think her words were particularly malicious.
But Ding Yushu really hated Tianjiao. With this child, she felt that she had less to eat, and her husband had to share all the money he brought home with this girl. She was unwilling to accept this.
So when Zhang Zhi tried to persuade her, she snorted coldly and sniffed: "No! She is a dead girl, a wild child from nowhere. Look, now all the good food at home is given to her. Why? I... Dabao hasn't even had any!"
She deliberately changed the word at the end.
Zhang Zhi's face was still dark. Just as he was about to educate his wife again, he saw the door was kicked open.
It was really kicked open. Li Mizhen appeared at the door with a dark face and said in a calm voice: "Hand over the Ding Ding Candy."
Ding Yushu quickly hid the candy behind her back: "No, this is given to me by Zhang Zhi!"
Li Mizhen sneered: "Okay, from now on, you two won't be able to have any of the eggs, meat, cloth, or anything else that the Third Brother and the two of us old guys get."
Zhang Zhi actually didn't know what happened. It was all his wife's one-sided story. When he saw his mother's serious look, he panicked: "Mom, what's going on?"
Li Mizhen was even less polite to her son. She slapped him on the head, making him dizzy, and then she said viciously, "What do you think is going on? This woman has been spoiled by you. The third son specially bought meat to add to everyone's meal, and gave the little girl some extra to replenish her body. The girl has lost a lot of weight recently, and he felt sorry for her. As a result, the child only drank a small bowl of meat soup, and she started to make a fuss. Who gave her the face to make a fuss? If it weren't for you bringing her things all day long, you only care about yourself and don't see others at all!"
After wiping it, she pouted and looked at the woman who had shrunk to the foot of the bed. She twisted the second child's ear and said coldly, "From today on, you are not allowed to buy anything. If you need extra money, give it to me and I will keep it for you! And how old is Dabao? What can he eat? At most, he can drink a few sips of soup. Don't listen to her. Besides, she doesn't care about her son. Okay, she will go out to work and I will do things at home. Let's do this tomorrow."
When Ding Yushu heard about going to work, she was completely scared and cried with snot and tears: "Mom, please don't, I was wrong, give this candy to that girl, I don't want it..."
She was smart for a moment. She thought that candy was nothing compared to craftsmanship. As long as she got through this hurdle, she would still have something to eat tomorrow.
Zhang Zhi couldn't bear it, so he endured the severe pain in his ears and said softly, "Mom, she was just confused for a moment. Forget it. After all, she is Dabao's mother..."
As usual, the matter passed.
But today Li Mizhen was really pissed off. Not only was she laughed at, but she also always ignored her own son for food. Before, when the third child was not at home, any food went into her mouth, and she didn't notice it. But now that there was another child, it became prominent.
She let go of his hand, as if she was a little disheartened, but also very determined: "Either you split up, or you listen to me."
In a word, both Zhang Zhi and Ding Yushu were not feeling well. One turned pale while the other was happy. However, she looked at Zhang Zhi and saw his expression, then gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Zhang Zhi wiped his face tiredly and handed the Ding Ding Candy to his mother: "Mom, we won't split up the family!"
The parents will not split up the family, this was the rule set in the village before. Those who split up the family early basically had parents who could not treat their children equally. Either one would be laughed at or the other would be the topic of discussion. Although her mother was partial, she never really treated anyone unfairly in terms of food and clothing.
There is no way he can divide this family!
