Chapter 114 Two in One
Pan's mother said sarcastically, "Mother-in-law, your children are so honest!"
Yue Hongmei's face froze and she glared at Ding Tao fiercely.
If Ding Tao was still in the countryside, she might not even have the courage to look Pan's father and mother in the eye.
Just like when her grandpa and aunt came back to their hometown, she didn't dare to speak loudly in front of them. She always felt that they were high and mighty, looking down on everyone with contempt.
Now she has been in the city for a while, and she finds that city people don't have any extra eyes or noses than other people. Moreover, she not only dares to confront the old lady whom she used to look up to, but also rolls her eyes at her.
So, when she heard Pan's mother's words in a sarcastic tone, she didn't respond well. She rolled her eyes and was about to speak when Ding Zhigang stopped her: "Go back to your room after get off work. Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."
Ding Zhigang had been with this niece for a while, and he knew she would never say anything nice. The Pan family came to question them, and they were already in the wrong. If they wanted to say something unpleasant, they could say it, and it wouldn't hurt them.
Ding Tao curled her lips and went back to the bedroom.
Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei continued to talk to Xiaoxin.
Yue Hongmei wanted to prepare food, but Pan's father and mother didn't give her any face and directly refused.
Ding Zhigang suppressed his anger and suggested setting up a table at a state-owned restaurant. Pan's mother then said in a sarcastic tone that her son and daughter-in-law were in the police station and they were not in the mood for that. Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei felt upset when they heard this.
Afterwards, Pan's mother again proposed to meet Ding Guo, and the time was set for tomorrow at noon. She also emphasized that she asked Yue Hongmei if it was okay and whether she could see the person. Yue Hongmei quickly agreed, and she and Ding Zhigang respectfully sent the person out.
Ding Tao opened the bedroom door and looked at the people who walked out with a puzzled look on her face.
After coming to Fengning, she found out that before her aunt asked her mother to help find a wife for Brother Pan Dingfeng from the countryside, she had actually set her sights on Ding Guo. However, Ding Guo had a hot temper and turned her uncle's house upside down. When that didn't work out, she then set her sights on the old family members. In the end, she scolded her mother for nothing and the family got involved with a scoundrel.
Now the two old men of the Pan family specifically asked to meet Ding Guo. Could it be that they still wanted Ding Guo to marry that stupid brother Pan Dingfeng?
"Pan Dingfeng was implicated by Ding Nianjun and the Pan family asked Sister Ding Guo to compensate him?"
The next morning, Ding Tao wanted to go to the food factory first to tell Ding Guo so that she would have an idea. As a result, Yue Hongmei went out with her, and their destination was the food factory. Ding Tao had no choice but to separate from Yue Hongmei at the intersection. When they separated, Ding Tao even said hello to her aunt, but Yue Hongmei was preoccupied with something and didn't hear her at all, and just walked away.
Ding Tao curled her lips. Her aunt was so anxious. Was she afraid that Sister Ding Guo would not be able to see the old couple of the Pan family for the last time?
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Yue Hongmei waving at her desperately in the crowd of people going to work.
Yue Hongmei's good daughter and son-in-law were both in jail, but she was not busy trying to rescue them. She even had time to come look for her.
"Ding Guo, come here!" Yue Hongmei had been looking all morning and finally found Ding Guo in the traffic of 28-inch bicycles. She called out to her and pointed, motioning her to go to the side.
The guardhouse was the most sheltered from the wind. Ding Guo pushed the cart over there. As soon as he got close, harsh words came out of Yue Hongmei's mouth: "You are such a heartless child. I really shouldn't have given birth to you. A few days ago, your father..."
Ding Guo picked up the front beam of the car with one hand, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute..." Yue Hongmei didn't know what was going on. As soon as she saw Ding Guo, she couldn't control her urge to make some sarcastic remarks. Even though Old Ding had repeatedly told her last night to be gentle and not to conflict with Ding Guo, she just couldn't control her mouth. To put it bluntly, she really couldn't like this daughter.
Seeing Ding Guo turned around and left, she hurried forward and grabbed the back seat of the car: "I have something to talk to you about."
Ding Guo turned around and said, "So there's something else. I thought you came here to confess that you regretted giving birth to me... Speaking of which, I also want to ask, did you ask for my opinion when you gave birth to me? It was up to you whether I was willing to give birth or not."
Yue Hongmei: ...
In the guard booth, Uncle Xiao almost spit out the tea he had just drunk, but he managed to hold it back.
Although he felt it was dishonorable to peek, he couldn't help but take a look.
He thought that this mother was not as good as the aunt that day. She asked him to help pass on a package and stuffed two packs of cigarettes into his pocket. She also told him to look after Ding Guo, saying that life was not easy for this child.
Is that the mother outside the window? Why does she start scolding her daughter as soon as she sees her?
Comrade Xiao Ding is such a good person. Not only is he good-looking, he is also warm and cheerful. He smiles before speaking to people and is polite. I didn't expect that he would not be pleasing to his mother.
Yue Hongmei was so angry that she couldn't help but want to scold Ding Guo. She took advantage of the time when there were many people around at work to make a scene so that everyone could judge for her and also let Ding Guo's colleagues at the factory know how unfilial she was.
As if he could see the struggle on Yue Hongmei's face and guessed what she was thinking, Ding Guo said coldly: "If you want to perform acrobatics for everyone, just do it quickly. Lie down on the ground, throw a tantrum and cry. While there are so many people here, you can cry, make a scene and then hang yourself. I'll be standing by to collect the tickets. If you want to perform, do it quickly. If you hesitate any longer, everyone will leave."
Yue Hongmei was so angry that her heart ached. She said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. I have something to talk to you about... Well, something happened with Dingfeng and Nianjun. Your father wanted you to go back for lunch at noon to see if there is anything you can do to help."
Ding Guo looked at her with amusement and asked in a long tone: "Hey, what happened?"
Yue Hongmei: "Can't you talk properly?" This strange voice, she said unhappily: "You will know when you go back at noon. You must go back at noon. Your father and others will go back. I will cook a few more dishes... Anyway, your father said that if you don't go back at noon, he will come to see your leader in the afternoon."
Seeing Ding Guo looking at her intently, Yue Hongmei felt guilty for no reason and her eyes avoided.
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows: "It seems that your daughter and your son-in-law are in serious trouble. They are going to have a banquet. Okay, I will go back at noon. You can make more braised pork. If there is any ribs for sale, buy some. I want sweet and sour ribs."
After saying that, he turned and went into the factory.
"Eat, eat, eat, eat until you die!"
Yue Hongmei gritted her teeth and muttered silently. She glanced to the side and saw the security guard standing behind the glass of the message room, looking at her in shock.
Yue Hongmei was startled and almost cursed, but when she thought that if something happened again and she came to find Ding Guo, and this old devil was up to no good again and would not help her call for help, she could only smile stiffly, turn around and leave in a hurry.
While working, Ding Guo felt something was odd the more she thought about it. Pan Dingfeng and Ding Nianjun weren't going to be shot in the afternoon, so why did they insist on asking her to go back at noon today, and even use threats?
She quickly finished the work at hand, asked her team leader for half an hour's leave, and went to the paper mill on the next street.
Ding Tao ran out. When she saw Ding Guo, she said, "Sister, Auntie came to see you this morning, right? I was going to go there this morning, but I didn't expect Auntie to be so anxious."
Ding Guo: "What happened at home?"
Ding Tao was surprised: "You don't know? Didn't Auntie tell you anything?"
Ding Guo: "No, she just asked me to go back at noon to discuss the matter between Pan Dingfeng and Ding Nianjun, and see if there is anything I can do to help."
Ding Tao was speechless: "They were afraid that you wouldn't go back, but they lied to you. It's not the uncle and aunt who are looking for you, it's Pan Dingfeng's parents who are here, and they specifically asked to see you by name."
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows.
She said that since yesterday, the names of the Pan couple have appeared in the background. They thought that Ding Nianjun was in prison for the second time. They were unhappy and brought up her old accounts, which also made her earn money. I didn't expect that they would come directly to Fengning!
"Sister, why don't you not go back at noon? I think the old couple in the Pan family look scary. The old man also told me not to go back for lunch. Will they beat you?"
Ding Guo was not afraid of them taking action. If they dared to take action, she would beat them up. If she couldn't get anything in Fengning, she would take two days off and go to the capital to put a sack on Pan Dingfeng.
Moreover, she felt that the Pan couple should not be so tasteless.
But if I hide myself, I will be at a disadvantage, as if I am really afraid of them.
Besides, if the couple really wanted to see her, there were plenty of ways to do it and she couldn't escape, so she was sure to eat the lunch.
I just can't understand why the Pan couple wanted to see me.
When the two sides met, they did not confront each other right away, but the atmosphere was still strange.
After entering the door, Ding Guo greeted everyone politely. Although Pan's father and mother did not say anything, they nodded in response, and then looked Ding Guo up and down with a bit of intimidation in their eyes.
The couple are both leaders in their respective units and have their own dignity. Are they using cold violence to exert pressure?
Ding Guo was unmoved and sat down calmly. He didn't panic, looked at her calmly and smiled: "Do I look good?"
"..." Pan's father and mother both withdrew their gazes, trying hard not to look at each other.
Troublemaker!
This is a thorn in the side.
But it cannot be denied that the eldest daughter of the Ding family is indeed more beautiful than Ding Nianjun.
But what's the use of being pretty, you're still vicious.
This made Ding Zhigang next to him very nervous.
In the kitchen, Yue Hongmei was also paying attention to what was happening outside and almost burnt the food.
Mother Pan raised her eyelids again, with a look on her face that was about to smile, and said, "Comrade Ding Guo, the previous incident was just a misunderstanding. It was just an obstacle we set for Dingfeng and your sister, and the two young people took it seriously. To be honest, to this day, I don't think your sister is a good match for my son."
Ding Guoerkang stopped the other party from talking any further. She corrected him first, "Please call her Ding Nianjun by her first name. Try not to associate me with her. Comrade Ding Nianjun was adopted by my parents, not me. If you want to talk about a younger sister, it's only my little Laoliu."
Yue Hongmei came out of the kitchen and said disapprovingly, "Ding Guo, don't talk nonsense. Your uncle and aunt didn't know anything about that at the time. It's okay for you to make trouble for us, but what's the point of making trouble for others? It was your fault in the first place. Apologize to your uncle and aunt first."
As he spoke, he kept winking at Ding Guo, wanting Ding Guo to show weakness first and discuss other matters after the Pan family left.
Now that the Ding family is in the wrong, they have to find a way to calm the Pan family's anger. Nianjun still has to rely on them.
Ding Guo ignored Yue Hongmei's cramped eyes, glanced at the table next to him, looked at Yue Hongmei again, and sneered: "I know what you mean by pouring a cup of tea and water, but what's the point of apologizing? Where is the apology?"
"Ding Guo!" Ding Zhigang shouted coldly, "Where is your upbringing?"
"He was thrown onto the train when I went to the countryside!" Ding Guopi looked over with a forced smile, and Ding Zhigang choked.
"What a sharp tongue." Pan's mother sneered, "We don't need anyone to apologize. We really can't afford an apology from your Ding family."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Ding Guo smiled brightly, then turned to Yue Hongmei and said, "Look, Mom, they said they couldn't afford it, so why are you asking me to apologize? Did you hear their voice-over? They never felt they did anything wrong. After I clearly refused, their son came from the capital and condescendingly advised me to fake a marriage to fool his parents. It was not wrong for him to hold a grudge and find someone to punish me after I clearly refused again. The fault is all on our side."
Mother Pan choked, and then her anger rose to her forehead. She wanted to say that it was Ding Nianjun who instigated her son Ding Feng to do all this. It was all Ding Nianjun's fault. If it weren't for Ding Nianjun, her son would not know who you, Ding Guo!
But before he could say anything, Father Pan, who had been silent, spoke first. He looked at Ding Guo solemnly and said in a cold voice: "You should always leave yourself a way out. It's not good to kill everyone!"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "That makes sense. I guess you must have taught your son this way, right?"
The flesh on Father Pan's cheeks trembled, and he suddenly asked in a cold voice: "Does Dingfeng's incident have anything to do with you? Tell me!"
"Are you interrogating me?" Ding Guo's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What happened to Pan Dingfeng?" She turned her head and shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, you said this morning that something happened between Pan Dingfeng and Ding Nianjun, but you didn't tell me what it was..."
"Comrade Ding Guo, some things can't be smooth-talked away. My Dingfeng has already paid the price for what happened before, what do you want from him?" Father Pan suddenly interrupted Ding Guo with a shout, then he put his hand on his lower back and slammed something on the table, "Come at me if you can!"
Ding Guo looked at the black muzzle of the gun on the table, his pupils trembled slightly, and his muscles tensed. Then he slowly shifted his gaze and looked coldly at Pan Yuanzheng.
Ding Zhigang, who was standing next to him, turned pale instantly. He felt as if his soul was about to fly away. He jumped up subconsciously, his voice a little torn due to excessive tension. He looked at Pan Yuanzheng and said, "My dear, what are you doing?"
Then he looked at Ding Guo: "Ding Guo, please speak properly and stop being sarcastic. ... My dear, calm down. This is not a joke."
Ding Guo still looked at Pan Yuanzheng, his voice cold and sharp, he said word by word: "If you have the guts, shoot!"
"Ding Guo!" Ding Zhigang's face turned red and he shouted in disappointment.
Why are you still being stubborn at this time?
"Ah!" There was a scream from the other side. Yue Hongmei came out of the kitchen at some point. Her legs were as soft as noodles. She held onto the door frame and tried to steady her shaky body. She said in a trembling voice, "Don't, don't, don't mess around, Ding Guo, you, you should admit your mistake."
Ding Guo still stared at Pan Yuanzheng coldly.
Pan's mother didn't know whether Ding Guo was just pretending or was really not afraid, but she was a little disappointed.
She hoped Ding Guo would make a scene.
Didn’t I hear from Ding Feng before that the eldest daughter of the Ding family would hit people?
Why don't you take action now?
Pan Yuanzheng didn't expect Ding Guo to be so calm. Regardless of whether she was pretending or not, he admired her courage. But if she was an opponent, she would be a thorn in his side who would embarrass him. The veins on his forehead popped several times.
Pan Yuanzheng was also disappointed that Ding Guo did not react too strongly.
But if Ding Guo took action now, the meaning would be different. She could be charged with assaulting a soldier.
Ding Guo is not an idiot who would jump up and hit people when provoked, so why would she do it so easily?
If she wants to hit someone, she should hit Pan Dingfeng and Pan Yuanzheng, the serving soldier. Only a fool would do such a thing.
During the stalemate, there was a clang and the door was pushed open from the outside. Ding Dayong walked in sweating profusely. Seeing Ding Guo sitting there, the atmosphere at home was calm. Except for the roar he heard in the corridor just now, it was quiet now. There was no noise or noise. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister!"
The factory temporarily arranged for him to go on a business trip with his master. He ran to the factory to find Ding Guo, intending to tell his sister. He learned from the guard that Ding Guo had returned.
Uncle Xiao used to be a man of few words, as words can cause trouble and meddling in other people's affairs can easily offend people. But he had just received two packs of cigarettes from Ding Guo's aunt not long ago, and the cigarettes were not yet opened and were still locked in his drawer. He was not so cold-blooded, so he said a few more words to Ding Dayong. When Ding Dayong heard that the aunt was full of accusations against Ding Guo and even threatened her leader to go home at noon, he knew something must have happened, so he hurried over.
The brother and sister came out of Ding's house. When Ding Dayong turned around, he saw the gun that Pan Yuanzheng had put on the table.
It was not the first time he had seen a gun. There were guns in their convoy as well, but he had not touched them yet. However, when Pan Yuanzheng took out this gun, it was probably not for everyone to admire. Who was he trying to intimidate?
Just as Ding Dayong was about to speak, Ding Guo pulled him, turned his head first, stared at the gun on the table, and said, "Thank you, you opened my eyes today!"
Then he dragged Ding Dayong away.
After walking for a while away from the family compound, Ding Guo's tense nerves finally relaxed and a chill filled his eyes.
"Sister, that old thing..."
Ding Guo said coldly: "Too idle!"
She focused on pedaling and said, "Don't get involved in this. Let's go eat first... By the way, why are you here?"
Ding Dayong: "The factory asked me to go out with my master to deliver some goods temporarily. It will take about three days. Sister, that old man is serious. Did he threaten you? Why don't you go find Xiao Hong's uncle, or just stay at Xiao Hong's house for the next two days."
Ding Guo sneered: "I'm going to find Uncle Xiao."
But there is no need to do that if you live in Xiao Hong’s house!
After comforting Ding Dayong, the brother and sister found a state-owned restaurant to have a meal, and asked Ding Dayong to go back and pack his things for his business trip. Ding Guo rode her bike to the factory to ask for leave, and then went straight to the Revolutionary Committee.
"You want to see Qi Guangming?" Xiao Haifeng was surprised. He was even more surprised that the girl did not meet him privately this time, but came directly to the Revolutionary Committee.
Although Ding Guo tried his best to suppress it, the coldness in his eyes still made Xiao Haifeng frown and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Ding Guo did not reply directly, but said: "Uncle Xiao, I know you have rules for interrogation, and you are not allowed to use deception and threats. I am not one of you, so I can break this rule."
"You want to..."
Ding Guo: "I want to disrupt Qi Guangming's position and see if I can get him to spit out something. Time is very tight."
Xiao Haifeng really wanted to know what happened, but Ding Guo was unwilling to say, so he didn't ask any further questions.
As for arranging for her to meet Qi Guangming, it was easier for him now than before, and it was not even against the rules.
Qi Guangming had become numb from repeated interrogations during this period, but when he saw Ding Guo again, he still had a venomous look in his eyes: "Little comrade, are you done yet? I just wanted to scare you, and you were unharmed. Why are you still chasing me?"
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Haifeng next to him with a mocking look on his face: "Old Xiao, is there no one in your Revolutionary Committee or there is really nothing to ask, why did you bring her here again..."
Ding Guo looked at Qi Guangming coldly.
Qi Guangming was not unjustly arrested. Until now, he still feels that he did nothing wrong and that it was just a small matter. He saw that he was unharmed, but he imagined what kind of cruel consequences she would face if she was unable to protect herself.
If a few young men followed her, would they just break her arms and legs?
Of course, she wasn't here to settle that old score this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Pan still have the energy to make trouble for her, which shows that they are really free. It would be a shame not to find something for them to do.
"Pan Dingfeng has been arrested, and now Pan Yuanzheng and his wife are in Fengning. Why didn't they come to see you?" Ding Guo tilted his head slightly and spoke suddenly. Qi Guangming, who was chattering, suddenly changed his expression.
After the last lesson, Qi Guangming was very cautious towards Ding Guo. Although he was shocked in his heart, he showed through his actions that he would not be fooled by Ding Guo again. He snorted coldly and did not respond.
He didn't answer, and Ding Guo also had something to say: "That's right, they don't have the face to come to see you, they are afraid that you will ask them about the recent situation of your illegitimate children, and they can't explain it, tut tut..."
Qi Guangming couldn't hold it anymore and shouted, "Ding Guo, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Ding Guo sneered and used the microphone prop on Qi Guangming: "What? You didn't make a deal with them. You asked them to keep the Pan family from falling, and the Pan family to protect your mistress and your two sons? You did what you said, but what a pity, tut tut..."
