Chapter 16 16 (Minor revisions, no need to read again) Public...
The room suddenly became quiet!
Ding Jianguo looked over in astonishment: "...Dad?"
Ding Jianshe and the others were also stunned and didn't dare to breathe.
I've never seen their dad cry in all these years!
What on earth is going on?
Yue Hongmei was panicking. She was anxious and annoyed. She went over to ask Ding Zhigang: "Old Ding, Old Ding, what are you doing in front of the children?"
It has to be this way, right? It has to be revealed in front of the children?
Even if she is wrong again, can't the couple solve it privately? Wouldn't this make her lose face?
Ding Zhigang felt wronged. He cared about his wife so much for so many years and they claimed to be a loving couple. They even had so many children. But his wife actually told him such a huge lie and kept it from him for twenty years.
For twenty years, he raised a child for the man his wife had a crush on. What a humiliation!
No wonder the eldest daughter used the word "sympathy". Did she often laugh at him secretly behind his back?
It hurts. It hurts so much!
Ding Zhigang wished he could just hit his head against a wall and die.
"Mom, what happened between you and Dad?" Ding Jianguo asked anxiously.
What kind of thing would it take to force his father to be like this?
Yue Hongmei wanted to gloss over the matter, and just opened her mouth to say, "It has nothing to do with you..."
The door of a bedroom at the back was opened. Ding Guo folded his arms, leaned against the door frame, and said, "Let me put it simply. Your mother is cheating on your father mentally."
"Ding Guo!" Yue Hongmei shouted with bloodshot eyes, and her expression showed that she wanted to eat Ding Guo.
Ding Guo scratched his ears and said, "Speak louder and call all the neighbors on this floor over so that everyone can hear it."
"..." Yue Hongmei held her forehead, this debt collector, this damn girl!
The little ones stood there in a daze as if they had been struck by lightning.
The news was so explosive that it made their heads buzz.
"You're talking nonsense!" Ding Jianguo came back to his senses first, pointed at Ding Guo's nose and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will beat you up?"
Ding Guo looked at him expressionlessly, stretched his hand behind the wall, and when he came out again, there was a stick in his hand, and he hit Ding Jianguo on the face.
She hadn't used such force when she hit Ding Jianshe just now, but this time, not only did she use all her strength to hit Ding Jianguo, she also hit him twice in the face, causing Ding Jianguo to run around the room, howling and screaming. He also felt the fear that Ding Jianshe was very familiar with, and he was so timid that he could only howl like a ghost and didn't have the courage to fight back.
"Are you awake? Did you swallow the shit in your mouth? Did you clear it out?"
The dog-beating stick was very effective. It not only hit Ding Jianguo, but also frightened the other members of the Ding family.
The little green-headed turtle didn't dare to cry, Yue Hongmei didn't dare to scold him, and Ding Jianshe even curled himself up into a ball. The two little ones were so scared that they had tears in their eyes but they didn't dare to let them fall.
Ding Guo withdrew his hand, and Ding Jianguo collapsed to the ground with a look of fear on his face. There were two swollen marks on the left and right sides of his face, and his nose was bleeding.
She had a happy face when she first came in, and now her face is full of excitement.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. I've helped you get the beginning started. You can figure out the rest on yourselves. No need to thank me!" After saying that, Ding Guo took the stick back to the bedroom to put it away. He turned around and came out again with a handful of melon seeds in his shirt pocket.
This time she came out without making any earth-shattering scene. She found a corner and sat on a stool, crunching melon seeds and looking at the Ding family with anticipation.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
It took a long time for Ding Jianguo to find his voice. He ignored the pain all over his body, looked at Yue Hongmei with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mom?"
Yue Hongmei turned her head away in embarrassment and said with difficulty: "No, no, it's not as bad as what that damn girl said!"
But it’s almost the same, right? Ding Jianguo’s heart sank immediately, and he looked at his father again, “Dad?”
Ding Zhigang raised his hands to cover his face again, and his shoulders heaved rhythmically: “嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤…”
"..." Ding Guo cracked a melon seed while crying.
Over there, Ding Jianguo wanted to cover his face in pain, but as soon as his hands touched his cheeks, he cried out in pain and grabbed his hair instead.
how so?
My parents have been in love for so many years, how could my mother...
What a bolt from the blue!
However, how did he cheat on his father mentally? He was a little confused and was about to ask for details when Ding Jianshe said weakly, "Cuckolding mentally is not a big deal, right?"
Did he fall in love with another old man?
That's just liking, there shouldn't be anything else substantial, right?
Ding Zhigang raised his head and kicked at his second son, shouting in disbelief: "Say it to me again!"
Ding Guo's question came from the corner: "Dad, how long has your second son been suffering from this 'lack of conscience'?"
"Can you please shut up!" Yue Hongmei said unhappily.
Without her stirring up trouble, things wouldn't have come to this.
Ding Zhigang pointed at the towel on the washbasin rack. Ding Jianguo hurried over and threw the towel to his father to wipe his face. He asked tentatively, "Dad, what's going on?"
Ding Zhigang was too embarrassed to say it, after all, it was too embarrassing.
He cried emotionally just now because he couldn't hold it back. Now that it's all in front of the children, Ding Guo has brought it out again, so he might as well come clean.
He felt aggrieved as he told Ding Nianjun about her life story, and finally said in a cold voice: "I raised her to adulthood, and I have done my best for her. Now that she has grown up, I don't ask for anything in return. From now on, from now on, at home... you brothers and sisters should unite well, and don't let her come back!"
At the end of it, I felt upset again. I have raised it for twenty years!
I have developed feelings for a dog.
Yue Hongmei's eyes went dark, and she said in a lost voice: "Old Ding..."
The little ones were struck by lightning again and became a little flustered.
They thought it was their mother's fault, not Ding Nianjun's. At that time, Nianjun was still young. What could she know? She couldn't control her own destiny.
Dingxiang wiped her tears again, she couldn't bear to miss Sister Jun.
Ding Jianshe: "Dad..."
As the eldest son, Ding Jianguo knew that he had to shoulder the responsibility of persuading the two to reconcile, so he said earnestly, "Dad, no matter what, Nianjun has called you dad for twenty years. She was raised by our family, just like a relative. Can you bear to do that? It was wrong for Mom to hide it from you, but, but you have been together for so many years, and Mom didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right? She took care of you and our whole family, and she has worked hard even if she has no credit. Calm down, let Mom admit her mistakes, and we can live our lives as usual, okay?"
Xiao Hong will come to his house for dinner on Saturday, which is the day after tomorrow. If his parents keep being stubborn and Xiao Hong finds out, how can he still have face in front of Xiao Hong?
Yue Hongmei was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. It had to be her eldest son. At this moment, Ding Jianguo was like a mountain in her eyes and her support.
Ding Zhigang's mood was different. He looked up and stared at his eldest son blankly.
I, your father, raised my daughter for another man for twenty years, and you just let me get away with it so easily?
Ding Jianguo's face turned red when his father saw it. The two marks on his face became more and more painful. He stammered, "Dad..."
Phew!
A laugh came from the corner: "You are so filial!"
Yue Hongmei and Ding Jianguo turned around and shouted angrily: "Ding Guo!"
Yue Hongmei gritted her teeth, wishing she could go over and tear this dead girl apart.
Ding Jianguo added, "Can you please stop making trouble?"
He almost felt like crying after yelling this. He was trying hard to reconcile the two, but this elder sister not only refused to help, but also went against him and insisted on interfering, which made him so angry.
Ding Guo nodded good-temperedly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't make any more trouble. You continue to be filial."
Ding Jianguo: …
The sarcastic words of his eldest daughter made Ding Zhigang even more dissatisfied with his eldest son, but he was his eldest son, so what could he do even if he was angry?
Ding Zhigang took a deep breath, and without giving his eldest son a chance to continue "showing filial piety", he slammed the door and went back to the bedroom.
Ding Jianguo stared at the closed door and looked at his mother in pain, with some complaints in his tone: "Mom, why did you..."
Yue Hongmei felt guilty, and the more she felt guilty, the more she wanted to argue: "I didn't have any thoughts at the beginning, I just couldn't bear to see Junjun and her parents being sent down to the countryside..."
Yes, that was the reason. Nianjun was not even a month old at that time, and such a small kid had to be sent down to the countryside with his parents. How could he endure the hardship of traveling?
Will we still be alive when we get to the place where they are being sent to?
With this thought in mind, Yue Hongmei suddenly felt a lot more justified and she successfully comforted herself.
"I am doing this to save a life, which is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It is not as dirty as your elder sister said. This damn girl is just talking nonsense."
He spoke with confidence.
The filial son immediately expressed his approval and nodded, saying, "If this is the case, Dad will be able to talk to him more easily."
That person has been demoted, and now we don’t know whether he is alive or dead. Why should Dad be jealous of someone who is so far away?
Do you think it would sound good if you insisted on accusing yourself of being a cuckold?
"Nianjun is just an adopted daughter of our family. She has nothing to do with anything else. Mom, Dad is angry now and may be getting stuck on a rut. Don't argue with him when you go back to the room. Just bear with whatever unpleasant words he says. I will try to persuade him tomorrow." Ding Jianguo said.
We can’t delay his work the day after tomorrow.
Yue Hongmei knew that her eldest son was trying to mediate for her, and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I won't quarrel with him. It's wrong for me to hide it, but I haven't done anything to let him down."
Thinking of this, Yue Hongmei straightened her back a little.
Apart from hiding the matter, she didn't do anything to let Lao Ding down, so why was he so angry?
He even slapped himself in the face at noon.
After pacifying Yue Hongmei, Ding Jianguo turned around and glared at Ding Jianshe and the others with dignity... He automatically ignored Ding Guo and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Do you hear me? If anyone dares to talk nonsense outside, I will skin him alive."
The younger ones nodded repeatedly.
Of course they would not say these things in public. Even though Ding Xiang and Ding Jiandang were young, they knew that this was not a good thing and would be laughed at by the neighbors if they told others about it.
This diced melon fruit tastes bland.
The book doesn't specifically describe the little green-headed turtle as having such a soft-hearted personality.
The eldest son was so "filial", but he was reluctant to give him two pieces of meat to burn. No wonder, in the book, he was controlled by Yue Hongmei like a puppet all his life, never going east or west when she told him to, never scolding the chickens when she told him to beat the dogs, and gradually he became a background board with no personal thoughts.
She went back to the house while cracking melon seeds, and Xiao Laoliu went up to her with gritted teeth.
Ding Xiang really didn't dare to go to her parents' room, and she couldn't really sleep in the living room, so she could only muster up the courage to go back to the bedroom with Ding Guo. While staring at Ding Guo vigilantly, she said confidently: "This is also my bedroom!"
Ding Guo rolled his eyes and looked her up and down: "Go take a shower and wash your feet, otherwise don't even think about going to bed."
clove:……
He pursed his lips, turned around, went out to fetch some water, and came back to take a bath.
It's really uncomfortable to lie on the bed with an extra person.
Ding Guo was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, thinking about going to the scrap collection stations in Fengning tomorrow to see if he could find the house and move out early.
