Chapter 262 262 Ding Xiang, who was holding the microphone, had a moment of thought...
The two brothers of the Ding family had their first quarrel after arriving in the capital.
Ding Jianguo rejected the conditions proposed by Gao Jiaye and his friends, and almost got into a fight with them.
After leaving Pan Dingfeng's place, the two brothers were walking on the road. Ding Jiandang was silent for a while and suddenly discussed with Ding Jianguo, saying that his mother had already been sacrificed, so it would be better to exchange it for some practical benefits.
He was moved.
The eldest brother has a job. He doesn't want to be a babysitter at home all the time. He wants a proper job and money to improve his current situation.
Ding Jianguo looked at his brother in astonishment: "Then what? We take these things and let the murderer go, but we don't avenge our mother? If we really do that, we will be pointed at for the rest of our lives and we won't be able to stand up straight."
Too many changes have happened in the family in recent years, and they have become a joke in the family compound. If they are so spineless as to really exchange their mother's life for benefits, the neighbors will look down on them for the rest of their lives.
When Dad just divorced Mom, someone immediately introduced a marriage to Dad. But now that he and Dad have been divorced for such a long time, no one is willing to introduce a marriage to them. This shows how low their family's reputation is.
Ding Jiandang: "Then what should I do? You have a job, a well-deserved job, Ding Xiang is admitted to university, you all have a future. What about me? I can't always be a housemaid at home, looking after that brat, washing clothes and cooking for you, right?"
He was very aggrieved and thought about asking his father to find him a job, but Ding Zhigang didn't have the ability to do so now.
Dad no longer keeps in touch with his old friends.
Even his elder brother couldn't help him.
Ding Jianguo roared: "You can't use my mother's life to exchange for these things. The Pan family killed our mother, they must pay with their lives."
Ding Jiandang: "Brother, even if you give us her life, our mother won't be able to survive. It's better to ask for some practical benefits. Let them help you find a better unit and arrange a job for me. If they give us some money, we can improve our lives..."
"Do you think it can be that simple?" Ding Jianguo's IQ was rarely on point. He pointed at Ding Jiandang, then at himself, "The two of us? Will it work if we two agree? Our mother doesn't have only two children. Do you think Ding Xiang will agree? Will Big Sister agree? Will Jianshe in prison agree?"
Ding Jiandang: "If the Pan family can get my second brother out..."
"Is it possible? Ding Jiandang, are you stupid? Can't you see that if it wasn't Pan Dingfeng who contributed to this, then he is a loser." Ding Jianguo mocked, "As for those two, if they were really capable, why didn't Pan Dingfeng transfer back when he was in the countryside? Why didn't Ding Nianjun just get him out of the labor camp when he was in prison?"
"Didn't they just say..."
Ding Jianguo: "Anyone can brag. If we give the nod, do you believe they will continue to lobby us to lower the conditions? They can arrange a job for us, but is our mother's life worth a job?"
As for Pan Dingfeng, after the two left, Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang helped Pan Dingfeng up and also discussed this issue.
"I think Ding Guo should agree, right? Doesn't she hate Yue Hongmei very much? She doesn't have much feelings for Yue Hongmei. She should be happy to see something practical in exchange now!" said Sun Dongliang.
Gao Jiaye lit a cigarette: "She hates Aunt Pan too!" He sighed, "This is a difficult matter. I thought that family was short-sighted and the two brothers would agree. I didn't expect Ding Jianguo's grandson to be so angry. Damn it!"
Originally, I wanted to convince these two brothers first and give them the bulk of the benefits. As long as they were interested, I would let them find a way to convince the others.
If they go and talk to each other on their own, not only will it cause trouble, but the others will definitely take the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.
Dingfeng can't give them anything now. The main contributors are himself and Sun Dongliang. It won't work if there is too much trouble. Their abilities are limited. If they make things too big and their families find out, they will be beaten half to death.
Sun Dongliang scratched his head: "It's better to give money and not use personal connections. Even if it costs a little more!"
The two of them had some money. Some time ago, they followed another buddy in the compound to do some business and made some money.
Gao Jiaye: "Let's talk about it later. Their mother just died. They won't agree to this now even for the sake of face. To be honest, if they really agree, we have to think about the aftermath."
If you agree too readily and are too soft-hearted, you may have to pay more later when your money runs out.
The two men discussed it, while Pan Dingfeng, who was standing next to them, had a bruised face and said nothing.
He buried his head in the sand again and let his two good brothers help him make plans.
Here, the Ding Jianguo brothers went to the post office to call Fengning Food Factory and asked Ding Tao for the phone number of Dingxiang School.
Ding Jiandang knew the address of Dingxiang School, but he didn't know the phone number. It was too troublesome to look it up himself, so he wanted to ask Ding Tao if she knew.
Ding Tao had been in contact with Ding Xiang. She did know Ding Xiang's school phone number, but she didn't want to tell the two brothers. She asked cautiously, "Brother Jianguo, what do you want from Xiang Xiang?"
Ding Jianguo's throat choked slightly, and he took a deep breath before saying, "My mother passed away. I have to tell Xiangxiang and see if she can get some leave to come back."
The microphone was silent for a few seconds before Ding Tao's slightly surprised voice sounded again: "Why, why..."
Yue Hongmei passed away?
Why is it so sudden!
Ding Jianguo choked up and said, "Something happened. I'll tell you the details when I get back. Do you know the phone number of Xiangxiang's school?"
Ding Tao didn't dare to hide such a big thing any longer. She remembered Ding Xiang's school phone number and quickly reported it.
After hanging up the phone, it took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Yue Hongmei is so young...
When she returned to the workshop, Ding Tao remembered that she had forgotten to ask how the person died, whether he was sick or something.
On this side, Ding Jianguo hung up the phone, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, and dialed again. He told the teacher who answered the phone and asked them to help call someone. He and Ding Jiandang waited here. After waiting for about 20 minutes, they dialed again. Ding Xiang's voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
"Xiangxiang, I'm...the big brother." Hearing Ding Xiang's voice, Ding Jianguo's throat felt dry and he raised his hands to cover his eyes.
The voice on the call was a little distorted. Ding Xiang didn't hear anything unusual in Ding Jianguo's voice, so she said indifferently, "What do you want from me?"
Ding Jianguo burst into tears: "Xiangxiang, our mother, our mother is gone."
Ding Xiang, who was holding the microphone, had a momentary blank in her mind. After a long while, she said, "Let Ding Nianjun go to guard her body and break the pots and banners. She is enough. We, her children, are not needed."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, turned around, and without caring that this was in the teacher's office, he covered his face and burst into tears.
At this moment, the first thing she thought of was all the sarcasm her mother had directed at her.
She…can’t remember what it was like for her mother to care about her.
She no longer has a mother, although there is not much difference between having one and not having one. She hates that person in her heart, especially hates her. She hates that she has devoted her whole life to Ding Nianjun, but has always been critical of her own children. She is living a happy life, but her own mother has not shown any concern for her and even wants to watch her children make a fool of themselves.
But it also feels a bit uncomfortable, an uncontrollable discomfort.
In the post office, Ding Jianguo froze in his tears and stared at the microphone in disbelief.
Ding Jiandang asked with red eyes: "Brother, what did Xiangxiang say?"
Ding Jianguo was very angry and wanted to scold Ding Xiang, but when he opened his mouth, the words could not come out.
He taunted, "Do you think women are particularly cruel?"
This is how his eldest sister is, but he can understand that she hates his parents. His parents did not fulfill their responsibilities in raising her, and his eldest sister has no feelings for her family. His parents are even prepared to sacrifice her to pave the way for Ding Nianjun.
But why does Dingxiang hate her mother?
Just because mom said some unpleasant things before, are you going to ignore her?
Which parent has never said harsh words to their children in their entire life!
Mom didn’t abandon Dingxiang like she abandoned her elder sister. It was just that the mother and daughter had some conflicts later, so she went back to her hometown for two years.
But that was because she chose to stand on her father's side when her parents divorced, and her mother was angry.
How can you hate your mother to this extent!
"You are ignorant and ungrateful, all of you are ungrateful!" Ding Jianguo paid the phone bill, came out, kicked a stone on the road in frustration and rage, and said angrily.
Ding Jiandang was also somewhat shocked to learn that Ding Xiang did not even say she would come back, and even made a sarcastic remark. After a while, he lowered his head and muttered, "Brother, if mom knew that her two daughters hated her to this extent, would she regret it?"
Ding Jianguo said angrily, "Xiangxiang can't be so ignorant no matter what!" Then he said, "Forget it, we can't count on anyone else. Now we can only count on the two brothers. We must not agree to what those two grandsons said before. How can we deal with it? Why can Pan Dingfeng's mother come out when our mother is gone? She must pay with her life!"
Ding Jiandang didn't say anything else, but there was obviously some unwillingness in his eyes.
No one thought about him.
Pei Che learned about Yue Hongmei's situation and went back home to secretly observe his wife's condition.
Ding Guo's condition was normal. He went to class during the day and went home to spend time with his two children after class. It was just that because there were people protecting him secretly, it was inconvenient for him to take things out of the space.
Fortunately, there was enough rice, flour, cabbage, and radishes in the cellar at home, and there were also many eggs in the refrigerator. However, there was not enough meat, so Aunt Qiao had to run out frequently and queue up in the grocery store when she saw that the meat was in stock.
In the past two days, Mosquito sold the goods he had received and went to Zizhu Bridge to give accounts and put them into storage. Afterwards, he also took time to visit several offline sales locations to observe the sales of trousers and backpacks, and came back to give feedback to Ding Guo and Ding Dayong.
The feedback is that it sells very well.
"Sister, I found that backpacks sell better than pants in the Plaza and Wangfujing. In other places, pants sell better than backpacks."
I didn’t expect that different stall locations would affect the types of goods shipped.
But no matter what, the new pants they improved themselves were no worse than the bell-bottom pants they had before. After seeing the finished product, Mosquito liked it very much. She kept two pairs, one for herself and one for her mother.
The task of following up on the progress in the south was also assigned to Mosquito, who was very concerned about it. When he contacted Lu Wenming, he also discussed the time and quantity of the next shipment.
If her academic performance was not as good as Ding Guo's, and she had no face in front of the teacher and it was difficult for her to ask for leave, she would have wanted to take advantage of the weekend to go to the south to carry the goods herself.
Seeing that she was a little agitated, Ding Guo quickly reminded her that no matter how busy she was, she must not delay her studies and should come to his house to review on the weekends.
Although we are not studying the same major, we are all looking for a learning atmosphere.
Mosquito knew that Sister Ding Guo was doing this for her own good, so she agreed with a smile.
When Pei Che came back, Ding Guo also asked about the progress of Ding Nianjun's investigation: "I suspect that Ding Nianjun was the one who planned Ding Jianshe to leave the farm early, but I don't know if she left any evidence behind."
Pei Che: "Fengning has re-interrogated Ding Jianshe. I'll ask them to question him carefully." He then talked about the progress of the case of reselling military supplies, picking up what he could say, "Three forged account books were found, and a team leader came out to claim the responsibility, but it was pushed out by the people behind him to take the blame. It doesn't matter what. But this move shows that the people behind him are getting anxious."
He also had a clear suspect, but it was just a suspicion, so he arranged for people to keep an eye on him.
This matter cannot be delayed too long. The longer it is delayed, the more obstacles will arise.
Then he talked about Ding Nianjun again. Pei Che frowned and said, "You started acting crazy and stupid after you left that day."
He also said some feudal and superstitious words about his wife, which were not nice to hear. Pei Che didn't want Guoguo to feel upset.
Ding Guo asked, "Does she know about Yue Hongmei?"
Pei Che hadn't mentioned Yue Hongmei when he came back, but now that he heard his wife mention it, he glanced at her expression and said, "I don't know."
No one told her.
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows: "The mother and daughter have been in love for more than 20 years, tell her."
Maybe at this time Ding Nianjun still held on to the fantasy that Yue Hongmei was still running around for her. Once he knew that this hope was gone, his mentality would naturally collapse, and he would no longer have the time to act crazy.
Pei Che nodded.
He didn't comfort Guoguo because he knew his wife didn't need comfort.
He would not say anything like "death is like the extinguishing of a light" and persuade her to put aside her prejudice and go back to attend Yue Hongmei's funeral.
Some things cannot disappear just because a person dies.
As for whether others will say something unpleasant, as long as Guoguo doesn't care, he won't care either, just don't say it in front of him.
"By the way, do you remember Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang? They were jumping up and down, trying to get Ding Jianguo to reconcile with them and save Zhang Shuhua." Pei Che sneered, "If I hadn't found out that they were secretly involved in the reselling of military supplies without telling their families, and my people were following them, I wouldn't have known that these two were so energetic."
Ding Guo was somewhat shocked by their daring suicidal behavior, their wild fantasies, and their brotherhood with Pan Dingfeng.
The murderer who killed someone in public actually wanted to bail the person out. If they really succeeded in this, and anyone could make a fuss about it, the Gao and Sun families would be half dead.
"Do their families know?"
Pei Che shook his head and sighed, "The parents of these two families are not stupid, but they gave birth to two stupid children and grandchildren. If they knew that their children and grandchildren were so 'capable', they would be furious."
However, he did not intend to remind them. After all, these two were involved in other cases, and he was planning to follow them to find clues. At this juncture, of course, the case was the most important.
