Chapter 261 Two in One
Ding Guo was in class, an elective course for the History Department's newly opened archaeology major, which was specially applied for by the department head and the professor invited was from another school. The class was about "Illustrated Tomb Book".
Ding Guo was listening with great fascination, and wrote The Travels of the Dragon very quickly.
Haozi's voice suddenly rang out in her sea of consciousness: "Host, Yue Hongmei is offline."
Ding Guo didn't react for a moment. He turned the page of the paper he had just filled with writing, and continued to record quickly. He asked distractedly, "Offline?"
"Dead, strangled to death by Zhang Shuhua!"
Ding Guo paused in writing.
Yue Hongmei actually died like this, and was strangled to death by Zhang Shuhua!
At the end of the book, the two mothers-in-law who got along very well, went shopping and got their nails done together every day, and praised each other's children and talked about everything, in this life, one became a murderer and the other became the ghost of the other's subordinate.
The biased mother who, at the end of the story, was still advising Ding Guo to cherish her current wealth and glory, to be grateful to the people who brought her wealth and glory, to serve her parents-in-law and husband well, and not to let the male and female protagonists worry about household affairs, died when she was halfway through her life!
Ding Guo was stunned for only a moment, then continued to take notes with his head down, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Look, without the original owner's dedication, they are nothing!"
Ding Guo's emotions did not fluctuate much regarding Yue Hongmei's sudden going offline.
There was neither the sadness of blood ties nor the feeling of joy in the heart.
It was so calm as if nothing had happened.
But it's different for others.
After hearing the news, Pan Dingfeng finally stopped hiding behind his mother and felt like the sky was falling.
Yue Hongmei died, strangled to death by her own mother at the gate of her own school, with a pair of unwilling eyes, and became Pan Dingfeng's lifelong nightmare.
Zhang Shuhua was handcuffed and taken into a police car by the police who arrived after receiving the call.
Pan Dingfeng's legs went limp and he sat on the ground. A strong smell of urine spread around him.
how so?
How did things turn out like this?
He just didn't want to face Yue Hongmei's entanglement and wanted his mother to take the lead in solving this trouble, so how could someone die?
Knowing that Pan Dingfeng is a relative of the murderer, the police also want to take him back for questioning and investigate the cause of the murder.
However, Pan Dingfeng’s legs were as soft as noodles. The two police officers held him up on the left and right, but he couldn’t stand up. They could only drag him into another police car.
The police contacted Ding Jianguo in Fengning. Ding Jianguo thought he was hallucinating and flew into a rage: "Your mother is dead!"
He hung up the phone!
The young clerk next to him frowned: "Comrade Ding..."
Didn’t the person on the phone just now say that he was from a public security bureau in the capital? Who is so bold as to pretend to be someone from the public security bureau just to scold Comrade Ding’s family?
Ding Jianguo turned around and was about to leave when the phone behind him rang again, and he couldn't help but pause.
When I came here before and was waiting to answer the phone, I didn't feel anything when I heard the ding-dong sound. But now, when I listened to it, I don't know why, I suddenly didn't dare to pick up the phone, and I had a bad feeling in my heart.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, the young clerk beside him hurried over to pick up the phone. After listening to a few words, he turned his head and looked at Ding Jianguo steadily, saying, "Comrade Ding, Comrade Yue Hongmei is your mother, right? It seems...something really happened!"
In an instant, the blood color drained away from Ding Jianguo's face and his mind went blank. He didn't know how he took the microphone or how he put it to his ear, until the microphone slipped from his hand and hit the table with a bang. His eyes went dark and he fell backwards.
When he opened his eyes again, Ding Jianguo thought he had accidentally dozed off at work and had a nightmare. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that something was wrong with his surroundings. Officer Liu next to him was looking at him with sympathy. When he saw that he had woken up, he patted his shoulder and said, "Comrade Ding, I am sorry for your loss!"
Not a dream!
The phone call I just received was not a dream!
Damn...
Ding Jianguo's eyes instantly turned red. He still couldn't accept this fact. It was too sudden!
The content of the phone call just now also came to my mind. The police did not say how his mother died, they only said that the murderer was a person named Zhang Shuhua.
Ding Jianguo didn't know Zhang Shuhua's name and asked it unconsciously just now. When the police mentioned the relationship with their family, Ding Jianguo realized that she was Pan Dingfeng's mother and Ding Nianjun's ex-mother-in-law.
Pan's mother, you killed his mother!
Ding Jianguo's eyes turned red instantly.
When Pan Dingfeng was working nearby, his mother helped take care of the children and loved Pan Dingfeng with all her heart. As a result, Pan's mother killed his mother!
And there is Ding Nianjun.
It was caused by Ding Nianjun, and it was caused by Ding Nianjun.
If Ding Nianjun hadn't insisted on taking his mother to the capital, his mother wouldn't have died.
Where was Ding Nianjun when his mother got into trouble?
Why doesn't she call me? Is she afraid to call me, or is she too embarrassed to call me?
Ding Jianguo rushed out, slapping himself in the face as he ran, making loud slapping sounds.
It's also his fault. When Ding Nianjun dropped two drops of cat urine, he softened his heart and actually agreed to let my mother go to the capital with her.
She is an unlucky star. No good will come to anyone who gets involved with her. Why did I agree to her in the first place?
Ding Jianguo didn't even know how he got back to the staff quarters.
Ding Jiandang was patiently helping his father look after the children.
Without a job and no longer forced to go to the countryside, Ding Nianjun sold her house and Ding Jiandang had to move back. Ding Zhigang no longer sent his youngest son to daycare and let Jiandang take care of his younger brother at home.
Ding Jiandang was not happy, but there was nothing he could do. He had written several letters to Ding Xiang to complain, but Ding Xiang rarely replied. She once reminded him to continue studying and take the college entrance examination, but knowing that he did not take any action, she stopped persuading him.
He was sitting on a chair, swinging his legs and letting his half brother hold his feet and play with them, when he heard the door being slammed open and his eldest brother, who was supposed to be at work, rushed in wrapped in snow.
The child was frightened and started crying loudly. Ding Jiandang said in dissatisfaction: "Brother, what are you doing?"
He picked up his younger brother and patted him, "Stop crying. I'm your elder brother. If you cry again, I'll beat you up."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to ask his brother why he came back at this time and was so flustered. As a result, when he turned around, he was stunned for a moment.
His eldest brother cried, with tears and snot streaming down his face.
The younger brother beside me was crying heartbreakingly, and the older brother was watching him and crying.
Ding Jiandang panicked and turned to his younger brother and yelled, "Shut up and stop crying!" Then he hurried to look at his older brother, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What happened again?"
Ding Jianguo's lips trembled and he choked with sobs: "Our mom, mom... she's gone, gone!"
Ding Jiandang felt goosebumps all over his body for a moment, and a bad premonition surged in his heart, but he still forced a stiff smile, his voice trembling unconsciously, and said, "Brother, didn't mom pass away some time ago?"
I took Xia Xia and accompanied Sister Nianjun to the capital.
Ding Jianguo knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Ding Jiandang's heart was beating so fast that he felt panicky.
"Brother, big brother..." His voice was choked with sobs, "Don't cry, say something, who left?"
Ding Jianguo raised his head and wanted to speak, but his sobs were so strong that he couldn't say a word.
Ding Jiandang felt like the sky was falling, and his dark and thin face turned pale.
It wasn't the one who went to the capital who left, it was the other one.
"How is this possible? Wasn't Mom fine before she went to the capital?" Ding Jiandang couldn't believe it. He didn't believe it. Mom was fine when she left, how could she just disappear like that?
"We have no mother, we have no mother!" Ding Jianguo pounded the ground, crying heartbreakingly, feeling extremely remorseful.
The two brothers were going to the capital to deal with Yue Hongmei's funeral. After crying for a while, they took Jianhua to the boiler room of the steel plant.
As soon as he saw Ding Zhigang, Ding Jianguo fell to his knees, hugged his father's thighs and burst into tears.
Ding Jiandang also knelt down crying and choked up, "Dad, my mom was killed!"
Ding Zhigang was startled. Before he could ask, he was shocked by the news when he heard Jiandang's words. After a while, his eyes became red.
No matter how bad the fight between the couple had been before, they had been married for more than 20 years after all, and they still felt sad when they suddenly heard that Yue Hongmei was gone.
"How could such a good person just disappear? How did your mother…"
There was deep hatred in Ding Jianguo's eyes: "He was killed by Pan Dingfeng's mother."
He still didn't know how he was killed.
Ding Zhigang was stunned for a moment and closed his eyes. If he hadn't seen his two sons were heartbroken, he would have been unable to help but say "served it right".
If you have anything to do with the Pan family, then Ding Nianjun will be involved.
It’s all because of that evil guy!
I don’t know if Yue Hongmei regretted her decision before her death.
"Go find out. Pan Dingfeng has to give an explanation for this matter." Ding Zhigang asked again, "Didn't Ding Nianjun divorce Pan Dingfeng? Why did your mother have a conflict with her ex-mother-in-law? I said she was a disaster at the beginning, and you shouldn't have given in to her. Oh, and Xia Xia, who is taking care of Xia Xia now?"
Ding Jianguo then remembered that his eldest daughter was also in the capital.
If something happens to my mom, then it should be Ding Nianjun who is watching over Xia Xia.
The two brothers did not delay any longer and hurried to get a letter of introduction to go to the capital to handle the funeral affairs.
Before leaving, Ding Zhigang told the two brothers: "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Go find your eldest sister. No matter how much hatred you had with your mother in the past, she should let it go now that she is gone. Let her come back to visit when she has time."
No matter how cruel Ding Guo is, his family has suffered such a big change now, and the past is in the past. He should stop being so awkward with his family.
She didn't even come back to see me even though I'm in this state now.
Ding Jianguo was stunned for a moment. He didn't say whether to go look for him or not. He took Ding Jiandang away.
The two brothers went all the way to the capital and asked around to find the police station that handled the matter. When they learned that their mother was strangled to death by Pan's mother, the brothers' eyes turned red. If Zhang Shuhua hadn't been locked up in there, the brothers would have wanted to beat her up.
Following the police, they went to see Yue Hongmei lying there, and the two brothers cried so hard that they almost died.
After calming down, Ding Jianguo asked about the cause of the conflict.
According to Pan Dingfeng's statement, Yue Hongmei wanted to ask him for help because his ex-wife Ding Nianjun had committed a crime, but his mother disagreed and went to talk to Yue Hongmei herself. It is unknown what they talked about, but they started fighting.
Pan Dingfeng was not at the scene when the incident happened. He had been attending class in the classroom since he saw Yue Hongmei. He finished the class absent-mindedly and was thinking of going to the door to check the situation. He didn't expect that the tragedy had already happened.
"Ding Nianjun went in again?"
Ding Jianguo was a little panicked for a moment. Ding Nianjun went in, so what about Xia Xia?
"Comrade Public Security, where is my daughter? Have you seen the little girl following my mother?"
The police said there was no little girl following.
Ding Jianguo's eyes went dark and he almost fainted again.
The police did not expect that the deceased was carrying a little girl, so they quickly arranged for people to investigate.
Ding Jianguo also suggested that he wanted to go and see where his mother used to live, but he didn't know the address, so the police could only help them contact the unit where Ding Nianjun was detained and ask for the address of his home.
While waiting, Ding Jianguo asked if he could meet Ding Nianjun to ask her why she was so troublesome and harmed his mother and his daughter.
As a result, the police told them that the place where they were detained was not in the same system as them, and the specific situation would depend on their attitude.
"Comrade from Public Security, what did Ding Nianjun do wrong?" Ding Jiandang asked.
The police did not hide it and told the two brothers what they knew.
What is the intention of selling the information of military family members to criminals, what is the intention of harming military family members, and which military family members?
Ding Jianguo and Ding Jiandang looked at each other: Big sister!
So, Ding Nianjun went to harm the eldest sister, but was caught. Their mother went to ask Pan Dingfeng for help, but Pan's mother disagreed and killed their mother.
Ding Jiandang wanted to cry but had no tears: "Sister Nianjun... No, why is that bastard Ding Nianjun always hurting this and that? It's not enough that he hurt my second brother, now he wants to hurt my eldest sister again when he comes to the capital."
Ding Jianguo didn't know what to say and rubbed his face hard. He really wanted to beat up Ding Nianjun and that ungrateful Pan Dingfeng. His mother had been so good to him before, even better than to them, her biological children, but his damn mother actually killed their mother.
"Brother, are you going to find sister?" Ding Jianshe asked softly.
Ding Jianguo is somewhat conflicted.
Normally, he should tell his eldest sister about his mother, but the scene of his last visit to Ding Guo emerged in his mind. His eldest sister's cold-heartedness made him feel that even if his eldest sister knew, she would not be sad about his mother's death, and might even make some sarcastic remarks.
If I don't look for her, I won't hear my elder sister say those harsh words. Instead, I can feel good in my heart and think that my elder sister would also be heartbroken that mom left.
After a long silence, Ding Jianguo said, "Forget it!"
Ding Jiandang's eyes widened: "Such a big deal!"
Ding Jianguo: "After dad became paralyzed, did your elder sister ask about it? Did you go back to see him?"
Is it a small matter that my father is paralyzed? I haven't seen Ding Guo go back yet.
Ding Jiandang was speechless and muttered softly: "My mother is gone, if she still... how cruel she must be!"
Is it cruel?
Ding Jianguo gave a self-deprecating smile.
Look at how the eldest sister treats my third uncle, third aunt, and those cousins. She really pulls them up.
People who are good to the elder sister rise rapidly. Ding Dayong went from being a peasant in the countryside to a truck driver in the city, and now he is a college student.
That’s because my third uncle and aunt are good to my eldest sister, and my eldest sister is grateful and is also very sincere to the third family.
Even Ding Tao from the second house benefited a lot from following Ding Guo.
On the other hand, none of the people who were nice to Ding Nianjun had a good ending.
Ding Nianjun has always been plotting against me.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Ding Nianjun had really been scheming against their family, scheming against his parents' love, scheming against his mother's money, monopolizing their mother, and finally killing her.
"We were all harmed by Ding Nianjun!" Ding Jianguo closed his eyes.
After waiting for a while, the police came out of the office and handed them a note and the key that Yue Hongmei had with her: "Go over and take a look first. Our comrades have already gone to the scene to investigate."
Go over and ask the security guard there if there was a little girl with the deceased at the time.
Ding Jianguo no longer hesitated, thanked him, asked for directions, and went out to take a bus to the house rented by Ding Nianjun.
But I found the child as soon as I got there.
At that time, Yue Hongmei did not take her granddaughter with her, so she entrusted Xia Xia to their neighbor to help take care of her temporarily.
When people saw that Yue Hongmei did not return home last night, they were wondering if she had run away and that she had abandoned the child on purpose. They were just thinking of calling the police and handing the child over to the police.
After meeting Ding Jianguo and reading his letter of introduction, and with the child rushing over to call him dad and calling Ding Jiandang uncle, she realized that they were biological father and daughter.
Ding Jianguo thanked him repeatedly and gave him fifty cents as a reward for his hard work.
The neighbor also asked: "Where is the child's grandmother?"
Ding Jianguo's eyes instantly turned red and he whispered, "Something happened." He then asked which room they lived in.
I have to stay in the capital for a few days, so I'll stay here temporarily for the next two days and pack up the luggage his mother brought. I'll check out the house when I leave.
Knowing that his daughter was fine, Ding Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. He entrusted his daughter to the neighbors again, gave them another dollar, and said that he was busy those two days and asked them to continue to help take care of the child for two more days.
After reading Ding Jianguo's letter of introduction and knowing his unit, the neighbor was not so nervous anymore. Plus, he could make money, so he agreed immediately.
The two brothers turned around and went out to look for Pan Dingfeng.
Ding Jianguo knew the address of the yard that Ding Nianjun and Pan Dingfeng rented before their divorce. He asked someone for directions and took a bus there.
Pan Dingfeng was half-slumped on the ground with an untidy beard and reeking of alcohol.
His two friends were there. Ding Jianguo had met them when he came last time. He forgot their names, but it didn’t matter. When they saw Pan Dingfeng, they rushed up and started beating and kicking him.
Sun Dongliang wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Gao Jiaye, who shook his head at him.
This matter is too big. The person's own mother was strangled to death by Aunt Pan. The anger has to be vented. They just need to watch and make sure no one gets killed.
If they were stopped today, Pan Dingfeng would not be able to vent his anger, and his fate would be even worse.
"I'll beat you to death, you conscienceless person. Don't you know how my mother treats you? Pan Dingfeng, are you still a human being? You and your whole family are conscienceless..."
Ding Jianguo and Ding Jiandang were both furious.
Pan Dingfeng curled up on the ground with his head in his hands like a dead dog, his face red from drunkenness and tears in his eyes.
He's finished!
His future is over!
His father is still in labor reform, and his mother is now a murderer. The news has spread around the school. Not to mention how many strange looks he will face when he returns to school, after working so hard to graduate from college, which unit would want him?
He also regretted it. What would have happened if he had helped Yue Hongmei earlier? Although he might not be able to rescue Ding Nianjun, why did he let his mother take the lead?
And his mother too, if you want to have a quarrel, just have a quarrel and scold Yue Hongmei away, why do you have to use violence?
"Wow, wow, wow..." Pan Dingfeng held his head and cried on the ground.
It's all over!
Sun Dongliang and Gao Jiaye stepped forward to pull the two Ding brothers apart, patted them on the shoulders, and whispered, "Brother, this matter... Alas, I am deeply sorry!"
But we can't blame Aunt Pan entirely. As the former mother-in-law, why did Yue Hongmei go to Dingfeng when she had problems?
Next, they have to talk to the Ding Jianguo brothers to see what conditions will make them issue a letter of understanding.
Pan Dingfeng's future was on the rise, but then this happened to him. Pan's mother must be guilty. Dingfeng's future was over, and the Pan family would never be able to make a comeback in this life.
Ding Jianguo and Ding Jianshe would definitely disagree. They got angry when they heard this: "My mother is dead, why is his mother still alive?"
"Don't be impatient, brother. Listen to what I have to say." Sun Dongliang handed Ding Jianguo a cigarette, but Ding Jianguo pushed it away. Sun Dongliang was not angry and continued, "This proposal is indeed a bit inappropriate. What I am going to say next may not sound good, but let's stick to the facts."
"Normally, a divorce means that the two of you go your separate ways, but as soon as Ding Nianjun got into trouble, Aunt Yue went to find Ding Feng. This is a bit inappropriate, what do you think?"
Ding Jianguo's face turned red with anger. He raised his hand and pointed at Pan Dingfeng who was still lying on the ground, sneering, "Not right? Ask this bastard, how good was my mother to him before? She looked after his children, washed his clothes and cooked for him. She loved this bastard more than she loved us. Ding Nianjun was in trouble, and my mother was unfamiliar with the capital. What's wrong with going to him for help? Isn't it right! If you want to help, then help. If you don't want to help, then don't help. Is it necessary to strangle my mother to death?"
Gao Jiaye hurried out to smooth things over: "Yes, yes, what Dongliang said was inappropriate." He added, "But brother Jianguo, listen to me. The dead cannot be resurrected, the dead are gone, and we are also very sad. But think about it calmly, the living have to keep moving forward, right? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the future of your brothers and your children."
"We will give you money and resources to help you open your business. As long as we can afford it, we will try our best to satisfy you. Once you are well, Aunt Yue can leave with peace of mind!"
