Chapter 129129 Ding Zhigang didn't expect his eldest daughter-in-law to suddenly die at the age of 18...
At the dinner table, Ding Zhicheng heard that his eldest brother's nephew was addicted to gambling, was arrested and demoted, and his face was full of disappointment.
"It's really a waste not to enjoy such a good life." Ding Zhicheng felt sorry for the money Ding Jianshe had spent. Although that money had nothing to do with him, he felt heartbroken just listening to it.
In Ding Zhicheng's opinion, Ding Jianshe was born with a city hukou, his family arranged a job for him as soon as he graduated, he never had to work on the fields, he was supplied with food from birth, and his life could not be smoother.
Such a good life, such a good life, just ruined it like this.
Ding Dayong said: "Dad, my uncle's family is rich, why should they feel sorry for you if they don't? Before Ding Jianshe was arrested, he asked me to borrow money, but I didn't lend it to him. He also wanted to borrow my bicycle. Although my bicycle was put together from various places, it can be sold for fifty or sixty yuan if sold outside..."
Ding Dayong later heard that Ding Jianshe had sold his own bicycle and had also tricked Ding Jianguo into selling his bicycle, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If he had really lent out his bicycle that day, he would never have gotten his bicycle back.
Peng Guihua and Ding Zhicheng were terrified after hearing this and sighed repeatedly: "It's a good thing you didn't lend it to him."
It's not that she is heartless. If her eldest uncle's family really encountered any difficulties, no matter how much she disliked the couple, she couldn't just stand by and watch. But this is gambling, and once you get addicted to this habit, you can't quit it. The family's income is not enough to fill the gap.
Ding Zhicheng immediately stopped feeling sorry for his eldest brother's family and earnestly warned Ding Dayong not to lend out such valuable things.
I also feel sorry for my nephew. His bicycle was not pieced together. He spent over a hundred dollars to buy it using his bicycle tickets. Now he was cheated and sold by his own brother. Jianguo's family will definitely make trouble for him.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Peng Guihua next to him ask Ding Guo: "No wonder Jianguo's wife is making trouble about dividing the family, what do you think is going on?"
"Split up the family?" Ding Zhicheng was surprised.
Peng Guihua said angrily, "If you have such a trouble-making brother-in-law, why don't you split up the family and keep him for the New Year?"
At this point, Ding Guo asked, "What's going on with Nianjun now? Isn't her man's family very capable? Didn't they help?"
Ding Guo then realized that the troubles of the old Ding family also involved the Pan family. She casually said, "Pan Dingfeng's parents were involved in a frame-up case many years ago. They were found out, and they were demoted and demoted."
This was another thunderbolt that shocked Peng Guihua and Ding Zhicheng.
Peng Guihua was stunned for a long while before she said, "It's your turn!"
Initially, in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful, he wanted Ding Guo to be his "dowry" bride. However, Ding Guo's own efforts ruined the plan. Then the eldest sister-in-law called and caused trouble for other girls in the village. Until now, Wang Ergou and Huang Meihua still don't get along well and they bite each other whenever they meet.
If they continue to harbor such dirty thoughts, they will suffer retribution!
Because of this incident, Peng Guihua ate half an extra piece of steamed bread made of 20 grams of flour at night.
Ding Guo was also sweating while eating.
Aunt San also made steamed buns, but she liked the steamed corn bread made by Aunt San very much. She would scoop a bowl of chicken soup, break the corn bread into pieces and soak it in it for a while, eating and drinking at the same time, which was very comfortable.
Peng Guihua's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but say to her, "You really don't like good food."
He picked up a spoon and picked out the tenderest meat for Ding Guo from the basin, then pushed the basket of steamed buns towards her and said, "Try this steamed bun. I steamed two kinds, one with white flour and one with black flour. The black flour one is rougher, but tastes especially delicious..."
Ding Guo ate another big bowl of meat, half a piece of black flour steamed bread, and half a piece of white flour steamed bread.
Black flour buns are indeed more delicious than pure white flour buns, with a stronger wheat flavor. Ding Guo said, "Aunt San, I'll take a few black flour buns when I leave."
Peng Guihua smiled: "We have both black and white flour. You can take whatever you want."
After dinner, Ding Dayong went to the yard to assemble his bicycle. Dazhu, Dalin and Uncle San followed him out curiously. Peng Guihua was talking to Ding Guo in the house: "Tomorrow is the last market before the New Year, the Huangzhuang Market. Are you going to the market?"
Ding Guo looked around the house and asked, "Is there anything else to do at home?"
Peng Guihua: "There's nothing to do now." She lowered her voice, "Now we are not allowed to burn paper."
According to normal customs, tomorrow should be the day for ancestor worship, but these things are still prohibited at this time. Burning paper and the like is not allowed, so this step is skipped.
Peng Guihua said: "Let's go to the market to have some fun. It's not usually this lively. We go to the market in the morning and queue up to take a bath in the afternoon..."
A small bathhouse emerged in Ding Guo's mind, with a large pool inside. Several naked women were sitting in the pool, scrubbing their bodies and chatting about gossip. A small person was sitting next to Peng Guihua, who was holding her arm with one hand and rubbing her arm back and forth with the other rough hand. The water in the pool was black.
She shuddered and said hurriedly, "I just took a shower at the factory before I came here, so I won't take another one."
Peng Guihua knew that the city was different from the countryside. People in the city were given bathing tickets, so they could take a bath every few days. Unlike in the village, bathing was particularly expensive in winter. She said, "Okay, then don't go. Come back from the market and rest at home."
Thinking that Ding Guo was going to the market tomorrow, Peng Guihua was just about to open the box to get some money for Ding Guo when Huang Meihua came over.
She knew that Ding Tao would not come back for the New Year, and when she heard that Ding Guo and Dayong had returned, she came to ask about Ding Tao's situation in the city.
This time he didn't come with empty hands. He took a small black basket with four and a half boiled sweet potatoes in it.
"Dayong, when did you arrive? Where's your sister Ding Guo?"
Ding Guo opened the curtain and went out to greet her: "Second Aunt."
Huang Meihua smiled and said, "I heard that you and Dayong came back, so I came to see you."
Peng Guihua called from inside the house: "Second sister-in-law, come in and sit down."
Huang Meihua walked into the house, her nose twitched as she smelled the smell of meat in the house, and she couldn't help swallowing.
The third family is really willing to do so!
But think about what the villagers have said during this period. If the third brother's family had been reluctant to give Ding Guo food and drink, Dayong probably would not have become a city dweller.
I thought to myself, if only I had listened to the kid’s father, I would have brought over some of the fried radish balls I made last night.
While she was thinking about this and that, Peng Guihua had already brought a stool for her to sit on. Looking at the boiled sweet potato in her hand, she said, "What are you doing with this? Food is tight at home."
Ding Tao went to Fengning, and the family lost someone who earned work points. The two girls in the family were young and earned few work points.
The family had to save money to subsidize Ding Tao, so life was quite tight.
Huang Meihua was reluctant to give it up, thinking that she would need Ding Guo in the future, but she had to say something nice: "Give it to Ding Guo."
Ding Guo: ...
Is this to send her food or to help her offend people? Just give her food, and the Third Aunt's family will watch?
Fortunately, Peng Guihua didn't care about this. Since it was for Ding Guo, she didn't refuse and sat next to her to talk with her sister-in-law.
Huang Meihua first invited Ding Guo to take a bath tomorrow: "Then you and your Third Aunt, I will go to your two sisters at home, and we will go to Tulu Tulu."
Ding Guo declined: "I took a bath before I came back. I won't go to the bathhouse tomorrow. I'm going to the Huangzhuang market tomorrow."
Huang Meihua: "That's fine. Tomorrow is the last episode. I wonder if it will be lively..."
After talking about this and that for a long time, he finally asked about Ding Tao's situation in Fengning.
"I know I was shameless enough to ask your parents to keep the peaches. They must be angry. If they say something unpleasant, please help persuade them..."
Are you afraid that Ding Tao will be bullied?
Ding Guo couldn't help laughing and sighing when he thought of Ding Tao's brashness.
People like Huang Meihua are calculating, love to take advantage of others, jump three feet high when swearing, speak all kinds of dirty words fluently, flatter the powerful and bully the weak and treat their niece harshly, but when it comes to their own children, they will still protect them in every possible way.
All I can say is that she has few relatives.
It’s her, and also the original owner.
Ding Guo said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ding Tao was not bullied."
She can also bully the fifth and sixth children to make Yue Hongmei angry.
Huang Meihua nodded in relief, and then told Ding Tao that she had asked her to help save food. She asked tentatively, "She didn't tell me what it was, but just told me to save more food and send it to her when I received her letter. What happened?"
Ding Guo knew that the two sisters had quarreled before. With the Ding family living like this, it was only a matter of time before Lu Xiaomei started to make trouble for the separation of the family. It had already started, but the outcome was unknown, so Ding Tao did not ask her to help deliver the message.
Ding Guo: "A lot of things have happened at home recently..." She recounted the troubles of the old Ding family, and finally said, "Jianguo's wife had already made a fuss about going back to her parents' home, and before we came back, she was making a fuss about dividing the family."
These were all shocking news. Every time Huang Meihua was about to come back to her senses, she was hit and began to inhale, staring blankly. After Ding Guo finished speaking, she also took a long time to calm down before saying, "Jianguo's wife is too ignorant."
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows.
"She and Jianguo have separated, and the family has lost two sources of income. Your brother and sister are still in school. The city is not like the countryside. If they were in the countryside at their age, they could at least earn some work points and earn a living. But this is the city. How can children earn work points? They can only rely on your father's salary."
Ding Guo found this second aunt more and more interesting. She was not worried about how her eldest uncle would support the family, but she was afraid that Ding Tao would have to spend all her salary on it.
Peng Guihua said, "From Jianguo's perspective, I have no obligation to help my husband's family support my brother-in-law and sister-in-law."
Huang Meihua decisively interrupted her sister-in-law with a wave of her hand: "That's not the way it is said. If a daughter-in-law doesn't help her husband's family after she gets married, why would we marry her?"
Peng Guihua couldn't help but sneer and make a few sarcastic remarks. At the beginning, her mother-in-law asked Huang Meihua to help take care of Ding Guo. Huang Meihua looked after him for a few days and then went back to her parents' home. When she came back, she either had a headache or a buttock pain, so she returned Ding Guo to her mother-in-law.
But when these old things were brought up, it seemed as if she was trying to sow discord, so she held her anger and kept silent.
Huang Meihua saw something from her sister-in-law's mocking eyes, and she stopped talking in dismay, took Ding Dingguo's hand, and said earnestly: "You have to help your parents in this matter, and you can't let them divide the family. If the family is divided, his uncle can't afford to feed and clothe the whole family, and then he will have to take money from you. Sooner or later, the fire will burn you."
Ding Guo smiled and pulled his hand out, saying, "Second Aunt, if I stop them from dividing the family, Jianguo and his wife will not live happily in the future. Will they point fingers at me and scold me? Will they blame me and ask me to help them with this and that? I can't get involved in this business, and I won't get involved."
Peng Guihua listened and nodded continuously: "Don't get involved, absolutely don't get involved, it's a waste of money and you'll get yourself into trouble." Then she said to Huang Meihua, "Don't give these bad ideas here. The parents haven't fulfilled their obligations to them. How dare they ask Ding Guo for help?"
The Ding family actually had this idea.
Ding Zhigang didn't expect that his eldest daughter-in-law suddenly wanted to separate from the family when she was old. Yue Hongmei cried and made a fuss at home and went to find Ding Jianguo, but Ding Jianguo said nothing, which meant he acquiesced.
"You want to separate the family too? You want to separate the family too?" Yue Hongmei punched Ding Jianguo, and Ding Jianguo retreated again and again. His mother cried in his ears, "I will beat you to death, you heartless man. I raised you to this age, and you want to separate the family less than a year after your marriage. You are such a ruthless person..."
Ding Jianguo covered his head in pain.
What should he do with a pregnant wife on one side and parents with pained faces on the other?
Ding Zhigang went to the food factory. It was no secret that Ding Guo returned to his hometown in Huiyang to celebrate the New Year. He found out from the message room. He felt a pang of pain in his heart. His eldest daughter would rather run back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year than spend it with them, and now his eldest son has also left them. How did their life become like this?
He insisted that the whole family must be present for such a major event as the division of the family, and that they would wait until Ding Guo came back after the New Year to discuss it.
Let's put this matter aside for the time being, but there isn't any festive atmosphere of the New Year at home. It's more like a funeral has just been held.
Ding Guo, who was at Yangjiawo, was unaware of the commotion in the old Ding family. She met Ding Ying who came to play with her.
