"Why, can't I just make a little more money to prepare for my daughter?"
Old Ding said to Du Chen unconvinced.
"Haha, Uncle Ding, I think you're saving up a dowry for Sister Miaomiao! In the end, won't it all just go to your son-in-law? Why bother?"
Du Chen said to Lao Ding with a wicked smile.
"I'd love to!"
Since they were free anyway, Lao Ding and Du Chen were joking with each other.
"Hey, my brother got the better deal in the end. I'm so embarrassed!"
Old Ding has been a soldier for half his life, but Du Chen broke through his defense.
"Ah! Du Chen, you bad boy! What does this have to do with your brother? I think you want to get beaten up!"
Old Ding was so angry at Du Chen's words that he yelled and was about to get up and chase Du Chen, but Du Chen also ran away!
"Du Chen, stop right there! Just wait and see if I'm going to beat you up today!"
Old Ding was both annoyed and embarrassed, and now he only had eyes for Du Chen.
"Aunt Xiaojia, help! Uncle Ding is going to beat me up!"
Du Chen quickly ran behind Jia Xiaomin, revealing his head and looking at the furious Old Ding.
"Du Chen, come out here!"
"I won't!"
"You can't get out!"
"If you don't beat me up, I'll come out!"
"Alright! Don't come out! You'll be done for if I don't beat you up!"
As Lao Ding said this, he was about to bypass Jia Xiaomin and catch Du Chen.
"Old Ding, be quiet! Miaomiao and Du Bin are still taking extra classes upstairs!"
Just as Lao Ding was about to explode, he was stopped in his tracks by Jia Xiaomin's scolding.
"No, my dear, Du Chen was too hateful today!"
Old Ding complained to Jia Xiaomin.
"Why can't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to resort to violence? You're already so old, and Du Chen is still a child!"
Jia Xiaomin stopped Lao Ding from going over and scolded him at the same time.
"Humph! Ask Du Chen what he said!"
Old Ding was quite dissatisfied.
"Chenchen, what did you just say?"
Jia Xiaomin asked Du Chen curiously. She also wondered what words could make Lao Ding so angry.
“I didn’t say anything…”
Du Chen was a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything at this time.
"Old Du, can you tell my wife what Du Chen just said?"
Lao Ding then spoke to Comrade Lao Du who was watching the fun on the side.
"Hahaha, I think what Chenchen said makes sense!"
Comrade Lao Du's laughter made Lao Ding's face even darker, and also made Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong very curious.
"Lao Du, what I regret most is meeting you when I was on duty!"
Old Ding said to Comrade Old Du with great sorrow.
"Okay, Lao Ding, you should just speak!"
Jia Xiaomin was now extremely curious, so she asked Lao Ding to explain the whole story.
"Okay, let me give you my opinion!"
Lao Ding picked up the water cup next to him and took a big gulp.
"I just asked Du Chen if he had any good ideas. I meant to find something else to do to make more money. Chen Chen asked me what I would do with all the money I earned. Could it be to save up a dowry for Miao Miao?"
"What's the big deal? Isn't this the truth? Miaomiao is your only child. No matter how much money you make, it will all be used as a dowry for Miaomiao. Could it be that you, Old Ding, have an illegitimate child?"
Jia Xiaomin felt that what Du Chen said was true.
"This isn't over yet. I said I was just saving up for Miaomiao's dowry, so what? I only have one daughter, so I have to save more for her. But guess what Du Chen said to me?"
Old Ding asked Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong indignantly, and Comrade Old Du couldn't help but burst out laughing as he watched from the side.
"Old Du!"
"Sorry, I just couldn't help it! If you keep going, I'll definitely stop laughing!"
Comrade Lao Du said he was trying to hold back his laughter, but to Lao Ding it looked like his broad smile was mocking him.
"Old Ding, keep talking. Old Du, be serious too!"
Ren Surong was enjoying the fun, but was interrupted by Comrade Lao Du. She became a little anxious and immediately warned Comrade Lao Du.
"Humph! Later, Chenchen said that no matter how much dowry I saved, it would all go to Du Bin! Isn't that infuriating? Du Chen shamelessly told me that. How embarrassing! Du Chen, let me ask you! What does my dowry have to do with Du Bin?"
The more Old Ding spoke, the angrier he became. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Du Bin, but he felt that his little cotton-padded jacket was getting further and further away from him.
"Hahahaha, what Chenchen said makes a lot of sense!"
After Ren Surong understood what had happened, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and felt that what his second son said made quite a bit of sense.
"What's the point? What's the point! Wife, look at the ugly faces of Lao Du and his family!"
Lao Ding couldn't help but say to Jia Xiaomin, and Jia Xiaomin, like him, quickly refuted Lao Du's family.
"Old Ding, actually what Chenchen said does make a little sense..."
Jia Xiaomin couldn't help laughing when listening to Lao Ding's narration. Looking at the frustrated Lao Ding, Jia Xiaomin couldn't help but make a joke with him.
"Wife, what did you say?"
Old Ding stared at Jia Xiaomin with wide eyes in disbelief. He even suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Old Ding, there is a grain of truth in that..."
Jia Xiaomin held back her laughter and said to Lao Ding, while at the same time, she circled her right thumb and index finger to indicate a small distance to Lao Ding.
Old Ding scratched his hair with both hands, feeling like he was going to die of anger from these bad guys. How old was Ding Miaomiao, and why did she feel like the Du family had already taken advantage of her?
"Uncle Ding, you have to face the facts!"
Du Chen "kindly" advised Lao Ding.
"Facts, your grandma's legs!"
Old Ding couldn't help but curse.
"Uncle Ding, please listen to my analysis!"
Du Chen continued to speak to Lao Ding without waiting for him to continue.
"Uncle Ding, you see, my brother and sister Miaomiao are still in high school now, so you can still look after them. But next year they're going to college. Can you keep them under control?"
Du Chen stated the facts to Lao Ding.
"Humph! When Du Bin volunteers, I'll definitely make Miao Miao stay away from him! Let's see what they can do!"
Old Ding said to Du Chen unconvincedly. Jia Xiaomin didn't say anything either, just watching the excitement.
"Don't worry, Lao Ding. I have money! I'll give Du Bin travel expenses so he can take the train to visit Miaomiao. My wife also said that if Du Bin gets admitted to university, we'll give him a car! You can also let Du Bin drive to visit Miaomiao. If it's too far, I'll pay for the plane ticket and let Du Bin fly over to visit Miaomiao."
Comrade Lao Du was fanning the flames. He just wanted to see Lao Ding trying to kill him but unable to do anything about it.
"That's right, Lao Ding, what my Lao Du said is right. My family is rich! I fully support Lao Du's idea!"
Ren Surong also joined in the fun.
"Wife, look!"
"Uncle Ding, don't worry! My parents were just joking!"
Du Chen advised Lao Ding from the side.
