Chapter 171 Ordering Milk
It wasn't Ding Guo who was causing trouble, but the entire Ding family believed that Yue Hongmei's illness was due to the exhaustion of helping Ding Nianjun take care of the children.
Ding Zhigang had now officially broken off with Ding Nianjun, so naturally he did not worry about whether his former adopted daughter was in trouble. Yue Hongmei got sick from Ding Nianjun, so he let her good daughter take good care of her, and he also ordered the other children in the family not to go over to help.
Ding Jianguo disagreed with his father's attitude and did not mention whether to help Ding Nianjun. As a son, how could he just ignore his own mother when she was sick?
But he forgot one thing, the situation is different now, Lu Xiaomei is keeping a tight rein on him. Lu Xiaomei has only one attitude, since the patient got sick from Ding Nianjun, then Ding Nianjun has to be responsible for both nursing and medical expenses.
Ding Jianguo was not without blood at all. He became anxious when he heard this and yelled at Lu Xiaomei: "That's my mother, my real mother!"
Then he was scolded by Lu Xiaomei, and several bloody marks appeared on his neck.
Lu Xiaomei sneered and spat at him: "Are all your brothers and sisters dead? Are you the only child your mother has? Where is Ding Guo? Where are Ding Xiang and Ding Jiandang? Don't forget that there is someone in your family who eats for free, your cousin, I'm not saying anything bad about her..." She went on and on.
The little bit of bloodiness that Ding Jianguo had was instantly worn away.
So, when Ding Nianjun asked him to help go to the hospital to take care of Yue Hongmei, Ding Jianguo hesitated and did not dare to respond.
Ding Nianjun broke down and cried.
She cried while holding her child in front of the door of Ding Jianguo's workplace, which not only attracted the attention of Ding Jianguo's colleagues, but also attracted passers-by to point fingers at him. Those who didn't know what was going on thought that Ding Jianguo had abandoned his wife and child.
Ding Jianguo was in a dilemma. He pulled Ding Nianjun aside to explain: "Nianjun, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that Xiaomei doesn't agree. She quarreled with me at home, and it was difficult for me to deal with it."
He couldn't understand why Xiaomei, who used to have such a good relationship with Nianjun, had come to this point.
It was Nianjun who brought them together.
Ding Nianjun also felt aggrieved. She had been so nice to Xiaomei in the past and even introduced her elder brother to her.
It was just because she lost money on an investment a few years ago, and then she asked her mother to help take care of her during the confinement period and look after her children, so Lu Xiaomei became so realistic.
It's not like Lu's mother is looking after the child for nothing. She has also paid for the food. I don't know what Lu Xiaomei is fussing about.
But Ding Nianjun subconsciously ignored the fact that she had only given food to Lu's mother some time ago. Now that she had returned to Fengning, she also needed to eat, so she didn't give her any more food.
Yue Hongmei is now unwilling to help take care of her granddaughter because of the conflict between herself and her daughter-in-law. The responsibility is no longer hers, so she naturally won't pay the "salary". Now the eldest brother has to pay for it himself.
As a result, Lu Xiaomei still blamed her, but she refused to accept it.
The result of her unwillingness to accept the situation is that she is now isolated and helpless.
This was the first time in Ding Nianjun's life that she cried so sadly. She didn't even cry like this when the Pan family fell.
She cried, and her son in her arms also cried. Ding Jianguo couldn't bear to see this, so he whispered, "I'll go talk to Taozi and Xiangxiang and ask them to help."
Ding Nianjun nodded with sobs and returned to the hospital with red and swollen eyes.
As soon as she entered the ward, the attendants of other beds called out to her: "Oh, your daughter is finally back, hurry up and clean up for your mother, we are almost suffocated, really..."
It was a hot day, and even with the windows open, Yue Hongmei's vomit made other people in the ward feel nauseous. Now that they saw Ding Nianjun coming back, wouldn't they take out all their anger on her?
Yue Hongmei lay weakly on the hospital bed.
In the past, how could she bear to let her precious Junjun serve her? But now it was no longer possible. She was really in pain. She couldn't eat. She would vomit after eating a few bites. She was relying on intravenous drips to keep herself alive. She didn't have any strength at all.
She turned her head and saw Ding Nianjun coming in with the child. She saw Ding Nianjun's swollen eyes and felt distressed: "Jun... cough cough!"
Yue Hongmei's throat was burning with pain from vomiting, and she coughed whenever she spoke in a hurry. After she recovered from the breath, she hurriedly asked, "Junjun, what's wrong with you?"
Ding Nianjun shook his head. Now was not the time to talk.
She came over and put the child next to Yue Hongmei, asking her to watch over him while she bent down to clean up.
Smelling the sour odor from the spittoon, Ding Nianjun also felt nauseous.
She suppressed her nausea and carried it out to clean it up, her mind racing as she thought of a solution.
This is not a solution.
She had to find a helper.
It can be said that Ding Nianjun still has some brains.
Let’s first talk about the way she planned to make money. No matter whether it was right or wrong, the bold ones would die of overeating while the timid ones would die of starvation. If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely be able to accumulate a generous fortune for herself before the reform and opening up came.
This is also the story of her rise to wealth in her book. She slowly accumulated capital in the early stage, and then worked hard in the later stage, creating a brilliant life in the end.
The difference is that in the book, everything goes smoothly for her and she has a lot of fans around her, but now she has lost the halo of the heroine and keeps running into problems, making her plans just ideas but unable to be implemented.
Seeing Yue Hongmei so sick at this moment, and knowing that Ding Jianguo and Yue Hongmei were no longer obedient to her as before, and that Ding Xiang also had a rift with her, she thought of Ding Jianshe.
He wanted to try to take advantage of Yue Hongmei's serious illness and the fact that no one was taking care of her to get Ding Jianshe back.
The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement.
However, Ding Nianjun would not give up until she hit the wall. She returned to the ward, made sure that she would not have to give her son IV drips in the afternoon, fed him and put him to sleep. Then she went to the post office and called Pan Dingfeng to ask if he had any connections that could be used.
On the other hand, Ding Jianguo went to persuade Ding Zhigang to agree to arrange for Ding Xiang to go to the hospital to take care of her mother.
Ding Zhigang didn't want to agree. Why should Yue Hongmei take care of Jiuer when she was well, but let his daughter take care of her when she was sick?
Ding Jianguo pleaded, "Dad, you can't just be angry. You have to consider our reputation. Mom is sick and lying in the hospital, and none of us, her children, are there to take care of her. If this goes on for a long time, how will the neighbors talk about us behind our backs?"
Today, Ding Nianjun cried while holding her child at the door of his unit. He never wanted to see it again.
His son's words made sense, but Ding Zhigang just couldn't swallow that breath, and said stiffly: "You should learn from your eldest sister!"
When he said this, he completely forgot that he thought Ding Guo was a troublemaker.
Ding Jianguo remained silent. They wanted to learn from their elder sister and just watch the family affairs from a high standpoint and not meddle in other people's business, but they did not have the confidence that her elder sister had.
Her parents didn't raise her well, and she even went to the countryside to give the family an explanation. Later, her parents did something stupid, and she broke up with her family. Neighbors who said that she was cruel always concluded like this: "It's no wonder that Danier and her family are so upset. Look at what Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei did..."
They are different. They were raised by their parents since childhood, and in order to keep them in the city, they spent money and used their connections to arrange jobs for them.
My mother is sick now, isn't it right not to take care of her?
He had no choice, he had his own family to support and his own life to live. Dingxiang was no longer in school and had no job, so now she was learning to take on some responsibilities, so that she would be able to support herself in the countryside in two years.
As for arranging a job for Ding Xiang... given the current situation at home, Ding Jianguo didn't even think about it and directly decided Ding Xiang's fate.
No one asked Dingxiang whether she was willing.
How much courage can Dingxiang, who has just grown a brain, have to fight against her father and elder brother?
She was sent to the hospital.
Ding Tao is responsible for cooking.
The old man had spoken, and Ding Tao did not completely resist, but she only cooked and washed clothes for herself and the old man. After all, she lived and ate in the old man's house, so she did not dare to go too far.
She didn't care about Ding Jiandang and Ding Xiang's clothes, shoes and socks.
Ding Nianjun breathed a sigh of relief and started to build relationships for Ding Jianshe.
Because of this, Ding Xiang was forced by her biological mother to help Ding Nianjun take care of the child.
Ding Xiang wanted to resist and went back to complain to her father, but when her father heard that Ding Nianjun was trying to get his second son back, he was also tempted.
Although the second son was given to Yue Hongmei, it was given to him passively after all, so Ding Zhigang still felt a little guilty.
If he could come back, he would naturally hope that his second son would come back.
Then he said to Ding Xiang: "For the sake of your second brother, it's okay to work harder."
Dingxiang felt that life was extremely bleak.
The miserable Dingxiang happened to meet the rosy-faced Dingguo on the way to the hospital.
Ding Guo was holding an ice cream in his hand, and was flanked by his left and right bodyguards. The left bodyguard was holding a watermelon, and the right bodyguard was holding a piece of pork ribs. The three siblings were walking in a row on the road. If they didn't look handsome and didn't look like hooligans, one would have thought they were street thugs.
Ding Xiang never thought that one day she would like Ding Guo. Not only that, she would like him, but she would feel inexplicably close to him. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she called out, "Big Sister!"
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows and saw the disheveled Xiao Laoliu.
I haven’t seen you for a few days. How come little Laoliu has quickly turned into an old lady?
"Sixth Brother, why do you look a few years older?"
Is this a new experience of the dangers of the world?
Dingxiang felt so aggrieved that she began to cry.
Somehow she held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Ding Guo could help her.
"Mom is in the hospital. Not only do I have to take care of her, but I also have to look after Sister Nianjun's children. Big sister, please help me and help the family!"
Ding Tao didn't wash her clothes, nor did she do the laundry for Lao Wu. Not only did she pile up all the clothes she took off when she got home, but Lao Wu also asked her to help wash the clothes.
She is almost exhausted!
Ding Guo said with a look of pity, "Hey, silly child, you are still a child yourself, and you are learning to babysit for other people." Then he sighed and shook his head, "I can't help you. The only one who can help you is yourself. You have to learn to protest, Lao Liu. You have to bravely say 'no' to things you don't like to do. You don't even dare to refuse. If it's not you who will be exhausted?"
After saying that, he called for his left and right guards to leave. When he passed by Ding Xiang, he suddenly stopped and asked, "By the way, you are babysitting Ding Nianjun's children. Does she pay you a salary?"
Clove shook her head.
Ding Guo looked at her for two seconds as if she were his enemy, then shook his head and made two "tsk tsk" sounds. Just as he was about to move his feet, he heard Ding Xiang say, "But I can't ask her for money. She is helping my second brother and wants him to come back to take care of mom."
Ding Guo's brows suddenly raised.
Is Ding Nianjun working for Ding Jianshe?
Yes, her fans no longer support her, so she has to get the one who is most loyal to her back.
Ding Guo said halfheartedly, "Isn't this simple? Then just wait and see. If she can really bring your second brother back, then ask your second brother for it. If she can't, then continue to ask Jiu'er for it!"
After separating from Xiao Laoliu, Ding Guo went to the post office and called Pei Che.
The two actually just spoke on the phone yesterday.
When the call was connected, Ding Guo told him about Ding Nianjun's activities for Ding Jianshe.
Pei Che sneered on the phone and said, "Don't worry about her, let her go."
Ding Guo had an idea in his mind.
The result of Ding Nianjun's running around was not ideal.
What she wanted was for Ding Jianshe to be acquitted, but the response she got from her connections was that even if he was transferred back, he would still have to undergo labor reform and sweep the streets and toilets locally.
She's still a bad guy after she comes back and she can't even move freely. How can we help her?
This approach didn't work either. Yue Hongmei's condition didn't show any signs of improvement, and the medicine the doctor prescribed seemed to completely avoid all of Yue Hongmei's symptoms and had no effect at all.
When will this day end?
Since the result was not what Ding Nianjun wanted, she was not going to proceed to the next step. She came back and said to Yue Hongmei, "Mom, no, the relationship at Dingfeng is too weak now. It is impossible to get Jianshe back."
There is one person who can do it, Ding Guo's boyfriend Pei Che. With the strength of the Pei family, it would be too easy for them to get a Ding Jianshe, but she can't order him to do it, and neither can her mother.
It's even more painful to have such a great relationship right in front of you but be unable to get close to it.
It was in this kind of discomfort that Ding Xiang felt that she had waited for the result: Ding Nianjun failed.
Then she started making a fuss and asked Ding Nianjun for salary to watch over the child!
No matter how Yue Hongmei was scolded, she refused to listen and started to make trouble with Ding Nianjun.
Ding Nianjun was extremely disappointed with this sister whom she had loved since childhood, but considering that Ding Xiang would have to stay in the hospital to take care of their mother, she was ready to give her fifty cents as a reward. However, Yue Hongmei was too quick and slapped her own daughter in the face.
There was silence in the ward for a moment, then Dingxiang cried and ran out.
Ding Nianjun was in a dilemma: "Mom, you chased Xiangxiang away, who will help me take care of you?"
After saying that, he quickly put his son down and chased after him.
Ding Guo didn't know about Xiao Laoliu's rebellion. She was at home with her two younger brothers entertaining Yue Kang who came to give her tickets.
Today is the weekend, and Xiao Hong also came to Ding Guo's house to play. Knowing that Ding Guo was pregnant, she specially brought a fish to give Ding Guo some nourishment.
Yue Kang not only gave away tickets, he also gave away malted milk, brown sugar, half a box of eggs, two watermelons, a box of canned beef, a piece of pork belly, a bag of rice, and a bag of millet.
Pei Che asked him to buy the things.
Not much meat was taken as they were afraid it would not keep well in the hot weather, but Ding Guo was given a meat ticket so he could send Dayong to buy some when he wanted to eat more.
After moving all the things, Ding Guo asked Yue Kang to sit down and eat melon and drink soda.
Yue Kang was indeed thirsty, so he drank a bottle of soda without hesitation, and ate two slices of melon before wiping his mouth. He lifted the towel around his neck to wipe his hands, took a piece of paper from his shoulder bag and handed it to Ding Guo, saying, "Sister-in-law, this is the certificate that Brother Che asked someone to issue for you. With this certificate, you can go to the street office here to register and apply for a milk card. You have to go in person."
Ding Guo didn't expect that her father was so thoughtful. She was now used to using well water and iced black tea to regulate her body and had forgotten about milk.
It’s also because milk was not common those days, and you couldn’t think of it if you didn’t see it.
Xiao Hong was also shocked.
Sister Ding Guo’s partner is not in Fengning, but he takes better care of her than those men who are with their wives.
This time, Ding Guo didn't let Yue Kang drive away, but asked him to stay at home for lunch.
"It's such a hot day. Thank you for making this trip. Eat first."
There is a man in the family.
Although Dayong is not back from a business trip, Dazhu and Dalin are still there.
Besides, Xiao Hong is there too.
Yue Kang didn't refuse outright. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law!"
