Chapter 12 (Revised and added some new content, those who have read it...
"Aunt, you guys misunderstood. You all don't know that my parents brought me back to be a matchmaker for our adopted daughter."
Everyone's chatter suddenly quieted down, and everyone was a little surprised by Ding Guo's words.
"Hook up? What hook up?"
He even specifically emphasized their adopted daughter, which clearly showed that there was a lot of tension.
Several aunts and ladies looked at each other, and their eyes were immediately filled with gossip.
There was an unused stool next to him, no one knew who it belonged to, but Ding Guo dragged it over and sat down on it, joining the group of aunties and grandmas chatting.
"Isn't our adopted daughter dating someone?"
She bought a portion of melon seeds from the system mall, took out a handful of them under the cover of her backpack, and started to chatter while cracking the seeds. She blurted out without any reservation how Ding Zhigang and his wife wanted to curry favor with a high-ranking official family and pave the way for Ding Nianjun to marry a fool.
After talking until his mouth was dry, the shocked onlookers just patted their butts and went home.
The aunts and grandmas finally ate the melons to their heart's content. Their faces were red and their eyes were shining. Oh, we must go home and tell them about this...
I really didn't expect that Ding Zhigang and his wife looked like decent people, but they were so eager to curry favor with others that they even sold their own daughter in order to curry favor with the high-ranking family in the capital.
And Yue Hongmei, she was going to let her own daughter marry a fool, and she still expected her daughter to be obedient and docile? The reason why she didn't destroy the family was because the eldest daughter of the Ding family had a good temper.
Ding Guo returned home leisurely.
In the evening, there was a wisp of smoke rising from the doors or behind the houses of many people in the family compound.
Yue Hongmei smelled the smell of burning firewood wafting from her neighbors' homes and listened to the clinking of various pots and pans. Although she felt that it would be difficult for a young lady to compromise after her drastic change in mood, she still held on to a glimmer of hope that she could eat as soon as she washed her hands after entering the house.
As she was thinking this, she didn't notice the old ladies on the first floor who were quietly pointing at her.
Yue Hongmei and Ding Zhigang walked into the door one after another. That subtle hope did not come true. Looking at Ding Guo sitting on the sofa leisurely enjoying the fan, her heart sagged.
And there was no smell of fire in the house.
The dissatisfied question rushed to her lips. Ding Zhigang, who was always observing her expression behind her, coughed lightly to interrupt her. He was the first to speak, looked at Ding Guo and asked with a smile: "What time did you come back in the afternoon? Is this the clothes you bought?"
Ding Guo changed his clothes when he came back, putting on a short-sleeved white shirt and black pants.
Before Ding Zhigang finished speaking, he noticed that she had cut her hair, and frowned slightly, "Why did you cut your hair?"
Yue Hongmei also noticed the change in Ding Guo's hairstyle. She took the opportunity to burst out with disgust, and shrilly said, "Why did you cut your hair? And you cut it so short, like a boy."
How can people look at this?
Ding Guo tilted his head and looked over, saying, "My hair is on my head, I can cut it whenever I want. Why are you guys reacting so strongly? Do you think that idiots have requirements for hairstyles?"
The couple choked.
There is no requirement, but how can a girl cut her hair so short? It is better to braid two big braids like a girl, looking simple and quiet.
But it was already cut, and there was no way to put it back. Yue Hongmei suppressed her dissatisfaction, forced a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "You, can't you speak properly? What do you mean by idiot family? They are a family of high-ranking officials in the capital. With a family background like that, if the child wasn't a little mentally ill, you wouldn't be able to get in. Ding Guo, I know you are unhappy about this, but why don't you think about how glorious it is to be the daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official family?"
In the afternoon, the kid from the Pan family called her personally and said that he was willing to give compensation, but he just hoped that there would be no more twists and turns in the matter with Junjun.
This kid is really nice. He values Junjun so much. Not only does he help to find a solution, he also offers to compensate Ding Guo out of his own pocket.
In her opinion, it doesn't matter whether there is compensation or not. After Ding Guo gets married and sees that class and the prosperity of the capital, she can only be grateful to Junjun.
But she was deeply moved by the fact that the two children were willing to work hard and make sacrifices for their relationship.
As long as they can finally get married, it is more important than anything else.
Lovers...will eventually get married!
Yue Hongmei sighed, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face, but she quickly suppressed her emotion.
But with Ding Feng's words, she not only felt more confident, but also had a subtle sense of contempt for the girl, thinking, "You are such a short-sighted girl." She couldn't hold on to good things even if they were put in her hands. Alas, she was born to be poor!
Seeing that Ding Guo didn't immediately confront her this time, she felt a little hopeful, so she took the opportunity to sit over and, while enjoying the coolness of the fan, she said earnestly, "Don't be so quick to get angry, listen to me analyze it for you..."
This time Ding Zhigang did not stop him, because the kid from Dingfeng called Yue Hongmei in the afternoon, and the kid was also anxious about the progress of the matter, so he decided to test Ding Guo's attitude again.
He went to the kitchen to cook.
In the living room, Yue Hongmei became more and more excited as she spoke, with a tone of sincere concern for you, "Let's not talk about other things first. Once you marry into the Pan family, you will be the master of the house. That kid has some mental problems, but he still has everything you say under his control. Your parents-in-law must also value you. The wife that their foolish son finally found must be held in their hands and coaxed by you all day long, right?"
"What kind of life can you live with an ordinary family? What kind of future can a man from an ordinary family have? There may be conflicts between sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law in the family. It is not easy to live a peaceful life. It will be different if you marry to the capital. There are only two brothers in their family. You and Nianjun will be sisters-in-law, so you don't have to worry about conflicts. Nianjun is not the kind of girl who makes things difficult for others.
Think carefully about whether this life is comfortable or not? Don't think that your mother sold you out. You are my flesh and blood. How can I really harm you? Silly girl, if Nianjun hadn't been dating Dingfeng, you would never be able to reach such a family even if you wanted to. "
The more Yue Hongmei spoke, the happier she became, as if she had really prepared a bottle of honey for her own daughter, and as long as she nodded, the honey would fall into the honey pot.
"Don't stiffen your neck whenever I mention it. You've never been to the capital, and you don't know how prosperous a big city is. You haven't seen what a high-ranking official's family is like. You think they live in a small house like ours, but they live in a two-story detached house, which is very impressive. You can't imagine it, right? You're still so stupid that you don't want to do it. If you really miss it, you'll regret it in this life." Yue Hongmei smiled and patted her daughter's arm to show her motherly affection, and said confidently, "Think about it carefully, don't be so stubborn. When you think it through, I believe you will definitely agree!"
Ding Guo moved his arm in disdain, turned his head and asked in confusion: "Why do you have such confidence?"
Yue Hongmei: ...
It's all in vain after all the talk about feelings.
Yue Hongmei said unhappily, "You're so stubborn!"
Turned and went to the kitchen.
As soon as they entered, Ding Zhigang looked at her. Yue Hongmei shook her head and disappointment flashed in Ding Zhigang's eyes.
Ding Jianshe didn't come back for dinner, but went to look for Ding Nianjun. Yue Hongmei was very happy about this, because she liked having several other children at home around Junjun.
Ding Jianguo looked at Ding Guo twice more.
He felt that Ding Guo would feel bad knowing all this.
That was the case four years ago. At that time, Ding Guo often watched them playing and fighting with Nianjun, his eyes full of longing and a little loneliness.
But I was too young to understand these things at that time. I just thought that this big sister who came back from the countryside smelled earthy and it was embarrassing to be with her. No one wanted to play with her.
Later, when she grew up, she realized that she really wanted to be close to these brothers and sisters.
But how could they still get close to her after how she treated Nianjun last night.
If she could turn back into the big sister she used to be, maybe one day everyone would be willing to talk to her.
After dinner, Ding Jianguo went into the room to get his clothes and prepare to take a shower. Suddenly he shouted in the room: "Why haven't I washed my clothes?"
He strode out with dirty clothes, looked at Ding Guo with dissatisfaction, turned to Yue Hongmei and said, "Mom, I haven't washed my clothes, and I haven't cleaned the house!"
Yue Hongmei was clearing the dishes on the table and said unhappily, "I just got off work too. I hurried to cook for your family. Who else can you ask?"
As he said this, he glanced at Ding Guo.
More than anyone else, she hoped that Ding Guo could take care of the housework like before, so that she could relax.
Look, after finishing his meal, he just picked up the bowl and sat back on the sofa to enjoy the fan. His butt is so heavy.
Ding Jianguo's face darkened. He walked to Ding Guo's side, looked down at her, and said in a deep voice, "Sister, I think I should talk to you."
Ding Guo: "Fart if you want to!"
Ding Jianguo: …
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "You have nothing to do at home, why don't you help mom clean the house and wash clothes for everyone?"
Ding Guo fiddled with his short hair, which was a little frizzy because of its roughness, and said, "I have nothing to do, so why should I clean the house and wash clothes for you?"
She raised her eyes: "Is Ding Nianjun working at home?"
Comparing again and comparing again!
Ding Jianguo said angrily: "Does it have anything to do with you whether Junjun works or not?"
Ding Guo stood up and slapped him: "Does it have anything to do with you whether I work or not? You are an irresponsible loser and you dare to blame me. Who do you think you are!"
In addition to feeling the burning pain on his cheek, Ding Jianguo also felt unprecedented humiliation.
As he is the eldest son in the family, his parents value him and his brothers and sisters respect him. From childhood to adulthood, he has never been slapped, let alone hit by a finger. Who would have thought that today he would be slapped by this eldest sister who was born only ten minutes earlier than him.
"Ding, Guo!" Ding Jianguo roared with his face flushed, staring at Ding Guo with bloodshot eyes... and continued to stare at Ding Guo.
At this moment, he felt the depression that Ding Jianshe felt last night: inexplicable fear and unwillingness to admit it.
Ding Zhigang was annoyed and shouted angrily: "Ding Guo, why are you hitting people again? You're not going to stop, are you? Where are your manners?"
Yue Hongmei had just entered the kitchen with her dishes and chopsticks. When she heard the noise, she hurried out and saw her eldest son being beaten. His face was red from holding back his anger. Her heart was trembling with pain, but her husband had already intervened. She held her breath and turned to throw on a cool towel. Ding Guo's slow voice came from behind her: "I'm sorry. I didn't have parents to teach me since I was a child. I didn't learn how to be a good parent! But you don't have to think about teaching me. I don't need it anymore."
The couple's expressions froze and their hearts trembled.
Even if they disliked their eldest daughter, these words still pricked them.
Then, the thought of scolding her and seeking justice for my eldest son disappeared.
Ding Guo shook his wrist, looked at Ding Jianguo's face which swelled up instantly, sneered arrogantly, and prepared to go back to the house.
She thought for a moment before returning to the room, reached out to pull down the fan and held it, looked at Ding Xiang, smiled brightly, and invited warmly: "Little Six, do you want to go back to the bedroom to sleep tonight?"
Ding Xiang was still immersed in the fear that Ding Guo would go crazy and hit people again. When she was suddenly called out, she shrank for no reason and shook her head subconsciously. She didn't even say a word to refute Ding Guo when he called her "Little Six".
"Great, keep it up!" Ding Guo slammed the door and plugged the door in without any psychological burden, then half-lay on the bed with the fan on.
From outside, Yue Hongmei's dissatisfied voice could be heard: "Look at the beating he got. This is too harsh!"
Ding Jianguo didn't hold back his tears like Ding Jianshe did. He just felt a lump in his chest. He started a crazy outflow of money from Ding Guo's income list, and he and other members of the Ding family left very quickly.
He took the towel and applied it to his face, saying in a deep voice, "Mom, please help me wash my clothes. I need to take the white shirt and light grey pants with me tomorrow morning. You don't have to cook for me tomorrow night. I'll take a shower and change clothes after work and go to the station to pick up Xiao Hong."
Yue Hongmei: "Is Xiao Hong back?"
Ding Jianguo nodded, covered his face and went back to the bedroom.
Ding Zhigang was also standing beside them with a gloomy face. His eldest daughter's problem was not good, so he thought about finding a suitable opportunity to talk to her in a few days.
In the room, Ding Guo was thinking about the "Xiao Hong" that Yue Hongmei mentioned.
