Chapter 126126 The Ding family seemed to have experienced an earthquake. …
The Ding family felt as if they had experienced an earthquake.
After Yue Hongmei had caused trouble twice at Zhao Zhiming and Wang Peng's homes, she came back as if all her energy had been drained away and she looked ten years older.
Ding Tao came to see Ding Guo and complained to her: "They don't clean the place, and they don't cook the food on time, or they forget to put salt or put too much salt. At first, my cousin's wife went back to help, but later... Oh, did you know that my cousin's bicycle was sold by Ding Jianshe? When my cousin's wife found out about it, she made a scene and went back to her parents' home."
Ding Guo was shocked: "Ding Jianshe also sold Ding Jianguo's bicycle?"
Ding Tao nodded heavily, still feeling frightened.
Although Ding Jianshe never borrowed money from her until the accident, there is such a crazy person at home who even cheated his own brother. Will he let her go in the end?
"Don't you think it's scary? He sold his own bike, and that wasn't enough, he also sold his cousin's bike." Ding Tao felt so sad, "In my hometown, only the brigade has bikes. How can ordinary people afford a bike? Ding Jianshe sold two bikes at once. She didn't beat him to death for being such a spendthrift, but she felt sorry for him having to suffer on the farm and cry at home. What was the old lady thinking?"
Ding Guo curled his lips. The original owner was only 16 when she went to the countryside. Neither Ding Zhigang nor Yue Hongmei felt sorry for her. Instead, they sent the original owner away as if they had thrown away a burden. But when it was Ding Jianshe's turn, he felt so sorry for her.
The future prosperity of the Ding family will be more than just a bicycle.
The Ding family used to have seven people, five of whom were workers. Their life was not very affluent, but better than many other workers' families.
Today, the Ding family has seven members, including three regular workers and one temporary worker who does not have a food ration.
Two of the formal workers were newly married couples who had not yet separated. Looking at the situation at home, it would be strange if Lu Xiaomei did not have some calculations in her mind.
If the family business were to be divided, Ding Zhigang would be under a lot of pressure.
Ding Tao would definitely not help Ding Zhigang support Yue Hongmei and the others. Besides, if she really had to spend her salary, it would probably just be enough to support herself.
Ding Tao also thought of her cousin and his wife. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before her cousin and his wife would make a fuss about splitting up the family business.
She lived and ate at her grandfather's house. Her grandfather was having a hard time and she was also affected, so she wrote a letter back to her hometown and told her parents to send her some food when life here became difficult.
As for now, the family has not yet been separated.
As the eldest son in the family, Ding Jianguo always felt that he had the responsibility of being the eldest son. Before he even found his bicycle and had finally gone to his father-in-law's house to pick up Lu Xiaomei, he gave his newly earned salary to his mother.
Because Yue Hongmei wanted to exchange some national food coupons for Ding Jianshe and buy some daily necessities, she had to prepare some money for him to take with him when his detention was over and he was sent down.
Lu Xiaomei was so angry that she had a big quarrel with Ding Jianguo. She had a miscarriage and was hospitalized to protect the fetus.
Yue Hongmei didn’t understand why her eldest daughter-in-law was angry. Wasn’t this all for the sake of development?
Lu Xiaomei used to be Nianjun’s best friend. Now she is married to Jianguo. Jianshe is not only her brother-in-law, but also Nianjun’s younger brother. How could she not have any sympathy at all?
What the hell did Nianjun find for Jianguo?
And there is Pan Dingfeng, who can't be relied on at all at the critical moment.
She wanted to call the capital to complain, but Ding Nianjun was no longer able to answer the phone as conveniently as before, and she couldn't get in touch with him. Yue Hongmei could only keep it to herself.
Lu Xiaoming lay on the hospital bed with red eyes crying, and she was almost angry to death.
That bastard brother-in-law stole her family's bicycle and sold it secretly. Now he is going to be demoted because of gambling, and her family even wants to prepare money and things for him. Why doesn't he just die?
Ding Jianguo couldn't understand why Lu Xiaomei was so angry. It was just one month's salary. It wasn't like she wouldn't earn money next month.
He only gave his own salary, and did not mobilize Lu Xiaomei to use her salary to support the family. Could it be that Lu Xiaomei's salary could not support them for a month?
But having a miscarriage was no small matter, and he didn't dare argue with Lu Xiaomei anymore. He could only go to work during the day and stay with her in the hospital at night. He couldn't bear it after two days.
Thinking of what Lu Xiaomei said when his mother fainted and received an IV drip, he felt it difficult to order Ding Tao around. His mother had been exhausted recently and was still busy with Ding Jianshe's affairs, so it was impossible for him to come to the hospital to take care of her. He had no choice but to let Ding Xiang come to take his place at night so that he could go back and get a good night's sleep.
Ding Xiang wanted to protest, she had never served anyone before. But recently, there were so many troubles at home, how could her parents have the patience to coax her? Yue Hongmei couldn't help but slapped her daughter on the shoulder several times, scolded her and told her to be more sensible and not to learn from Ding Guo, who was so heartless. Ding Xiang had no choice but to go to the hospital aggrieved.
Ding Tao did not pretend not to see the hustle and bustle at home. She took the initiative to help with cleaning, cooking, and delivering meals to Lu Xiaomei in the hospital. She even had a fight with Ding Xiang in the hospital.
It was because the whole family had to work together to help Ding Jian set up things, so every grain of rice and flour had to be calculated, and the quality of life dropped drastically. The most obvious thing was that the hospital meal for Lu Xiaomei was stir-fried noodles with a poached egg in it. Ding Xiang had a steamed bun with more corn flour and less white flour, which was a bit sore on the throat, but it was filling, and she was also given some pickles.
Ding Xiang had never been treated so unfairly in her life. She was so angry that she started to cry. She thought Ding Tao was deliberately making trouble for her and got angry at Ding Tao.
Ding Tao retorted confidently: "The steamed bread is made by your own mother, my dear aunt. You are not the only one who eats the steamed bread. We eat the same. Why are you crying? Besides, this steamed bread is much better than what I eat in my hometown. At least it is mixed with white flour. When the day comes when you can't afford to eat at home and can't even add a little white flour, and you are asked to eat pure corn flour, will you be angry to death?"
After saying that, he turned and left the ward.
On the way back home, Ding Tao realized belatedly that Sister Ding Guo was really smart.
This was because I had long realized that my family was unreliable, so I planned to move out in advance and almost cut off all ties with them. They no longer cared about these miscellaneous matters.
Alas, she still couldn't do that.
Her financial situation doesn't allow it. If her mother knew that she gave up the free house and ran away to live with someone else, she would probably come to Fengning, twist her ears and drag her back.
In the ward, Lu Xiaomei looked at Dingxiang who was still wiping her tears, and felt depressed. She suppressed her unhappiness and tried to comfort her sister-in-law.
Is it to arrange the sister-in-law to serve her or to cause trouble for her?
She completely forgot what she had just told Ding Jianguo not long ago to ask Ding Xiang to take leave to go to the hospital to take care of her mother-in-law.
Lu Xiaomei hopes that Dingxiang can share some of the housework, but she doesn't want to worry about raising a child who knows nothing and is a little spoiled by her parents-in-law. This kind of education should be done by her mother-in-law.
She wanted a finished product, not a half-finished one.
Ding Tao is also an ignorant girl. She eats and drinks at home, but has no sense of self-discipline when it comes to housework. She also has a sharp tongue and will not tolerate any loss. Lu Xiaomei dare not order her around.
In Zaohua Lane, Pei Che was stewing fish. Ding Guo also mixed some cornmeal and made a circle of pancakes along the edge of the pot. The two sat side by side in front of the stove, talking while warming themselves by the fire.
Ding Guo was surprised that Ding Jianshe made the decision so quickly, and was a little confused: "Didn't the Ding family ask Pan Dingfeng for help?"
Pan's father and mother were demoted, and the Pan family fell. Although the relationship between them and the family has become cold, it is not completely frozen. At least in the eyes of the Ding family, the Pan family's network of contacts is still wider than their own, and the Ding family should not be able to stop Pan Dingfeng from helping them find connections.
Pei Che's eyes were meaningful: "I looked for him, but Pan Dingfeng is on a business trip!"
Ding Guo was surprised, then sighed: "Ding Jianshe is just unlucky!"
Pei Che smiled and put two sticks of firewood into the stove. He said, "I asked someone to leak the news to a comrade who was on good terms with Pan Dingfeng. That comrade called the capital and told Pan Dingfeng about Ding Jianshe's troubles and asked him if he wanted help. Then Pan Dingfeng went on a business trip."
Ding Guo was shocked, then burst into laughter. After he finished laughing, he glanced at Pei Che and said, "You really know Pan Dingfeng!"
Since he was delivering the message intentionally, he definitely wasn't trying to help, but how did he know that Pan Dingfeng would hide away after getting the message?
Pei Che stood up, opened the lid of the pot and took a look at the situation inside, then sat back down and said, "First, the Pan family has experienced such a big change, and Pan Dingfeng should grow up. The few connections left in the family, should he spend them on his brother-in-law, or slowly maintain and nurture them for a while before using them on himself? He should be able to weigh the pros and cons."
"Secondly, he wasn't in the mood." Pei Che raised his eyebrows and said, "The letter he sent to the three northeastern provinces was returned, and then he realized that his parents had never gone to that fertile land. This person has grown a little, but not much. Something is wrong, and even the relationship they found before couldn't change this matter. There must be something wrong, and those who helped them before will probably be implicated. At this time, just pretend to be dumb. He even went to the Su family to ask, but in the end he didn't even meet Mr. Su. Oh, by the way, this idea came up with your adopted sister."
Ding Guo: ...
In particular, it was only after the letter was returned that they found out that their parents did not go to the three northeastern provinces. Given the strength of the Su family, it is impossible for them to know later than Pan Dingfeng. If they knew but did not inform Pan Dingfeng, there must be a reason that is inconvenient to say, or they just don't want to say it after weighing the pros and cons.
But he went to the man's house to ask, which not only added to the embarrassment, but also made the relationship even more strained.
On the contrary, if they knew that something happened to the place where their parents were sent down, they would not ask about it, because they were aware of avoiding suspicion. Whether the Su family felt guilty or had other reasons, they would more or less take care of Pan Dingfeng.
His departure blocked this road.
Pan Dingfeng himself didn't realize this until his boss saw that he was distracted and asked him for another leave. After asking, he found out that Yuanzheng's relocation location had been changed. After knowing this, Pan Dingfeng asked for leave and went to the Su family. Because he didn't see the head of the Su family, he planned to go again. Su Tonghai couldn't help but frown.
He temporarily put down the work in his hands and analyzed the pros and cons to Pan Dingfeng, who broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Su Tonghai also has the surname Su, he is not the Su family member who protected the Pan family before. He just has a different surname.
He looked at the distraught Pan Dingfeng and shook his head secretly.
The reason why Pan Dingfeng was able to work beside him was because he had a good relationship with Pan Yuanzheng. However, Pan Dingfeng was not very good at a career in politics. He did not know how to adapt to changes in his work and did not like to curry favor with others. In fact, he was not satisfied with the person he was working for.
But Pan Yuanzheng had asked him to do so, so he had been keeping Pan Dingfeng with him, hoping to train him and send him down to gain some experience in a few years.
But now thinking about the trouble he had caused during this period, Su Tonghai couldn't help but frown.
He had not made any achievements in his career, but relying on his family's influence, he hired someone to deal with a young girl remotely after hearing a few provocations. Unexpectedly, he hit a wall and triggered a series of earthquakes, which directly collapsed the Pan family.
Of course, it was also because the Pan family itself was not upright, otherwise how could Pan Yuanzheng end up like this.
Su Tonghai began to think about Pan Dingfeng's arrangements.
