Chapter 41 This Can't Be Done
"I'm different now after a few years in the city." Huang Meihua smiled stiffly, not responding to what Ding Guo said. She just said, "I'm more eloquent than when I was a child."
Ding Guo smiled and said, "When I was young, I suffered a lot because I couldn't speak well. Of course, I have to make myself more eloquent. I found that when I became more eloquent, my brain became more flexible, and I didn't get fooled like I did when I was young."
I didn't expect Ding Guo to be so aggressive.
Huang Meihua looked a little embarrassed and almost couldn't help cursing.
Dante Guo smiled and said, "I was just joking with Second Aunt. Your family is not rich, and there are so many mouths to feed. How could I be so ignorant? I won't come over tonight. I was just teasing you. Second Aunt, don't be angry. Go back to work. I'll go back first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
She doesn't eat anything made with yellow plum blossoms.
It’s not that I’m afraid that Huang Meihua will target me or add something to the food I’m cooking, but Huang Meihua is just a despicable character in the book.
A lot of details can be found by searching through the original owner's memory.
For example, after picking up his shoes, he would lift the lid of the pot to take out the steamed corn bread; another example, when holding a bowl of porridge, his thumb would always be submerged in the porridge; another example, when cooking, he would make a lot of small movements, either scratching his hair or picking his ears, and would continue to work without washing his hands.
The book later wrote that when her daughters grew up, they would buy ready-made meals every time they returned home and would not eat the meals their mother cooked.
Ding Guo left. Ding Tao, who was waiting to see the joke, was very angry, and Huang Meihua was even more choked.
Although not going to her house for dinner is exactly what she wants, why is she so unhappy?
By the way, I asked Ding Tao to ask her to come here to help earn work points for my family, but in the end, she didn’t earn any work points for her family, and was choked like this.
But after seeing Ding Guo's sharp tongue, he no longer dared to plot against her like he did when they were children.
Huang Meihua held her head in her work with a look of anger in her eyes, thinking that she would have to say a few words to Ding Guo when she talked to her sister-in-law on the phone again.
But then she thought about the fifty yuan again. What if her sister-in-law was unhappy with her saying bad things about Ding Guo and stopped giving her money?
After much thought, Huang Meihua decided to swallow her anger for the time being and wait until she got the fifty yuan before complaining to her sister-in-law.
Thinking of the fifty yuan, the matter entrusted to her by her sister-in-law, and the sudden return of Ding Guo, Huang Meihua suddenly slapped her thigh while working: "Look at my brain, Ding Guo didn't come back to pick up Erya, did he?"
Ding Ergou hasn't agreed yet, and that drunkard is still putting on airs, trying to get more benefits.
No, she has to go and talk to him again quickly. It's almost done. If he keeps getting arrogant, she will replace him.
Huang Meihua was so preoccupied with the matter that she didn't even have the energy to earn work points. She found an excuse to ask for leave and went to Ding Ergou's house.
Ding Ergou doesn't go to work.
He is not only a famous drunkard in the village, but also a notorious lazy man. Ever since his children were able to earn work points, he has been lazy at home.
Huang Meihua called out at the door, and knowing that Ding Ergou was at home, she pushed the door open and walked in.
When the yellow plum blossoms left, a girl of about twenty years old in a field not far away stared at the yellow plum blossoms that were leaving in a hurry, lowered her head, and her tears fell into the mud under her feet.
According to other aunts and sisters-in-law's discussions, the person who went over to talk to Huang Meihua just now was Ding Guo, the daughter of the eldest son of the Ding family, who returned to Fengning a few years ago.
Ding Guo talked to Huang Meihua for a few words, and then Huang Meihua went to her house to find her father again. It was obvious what it was about.
When she was a child, she and Ding Guo were classmates. Could Ding Guo really bear to see her marry a fool?
Ding Ying sniffed and lowered her head to look for the scorekeeper: "Uncle, I'm going home and will be back soon."
Ding Ying rarely asked for leave and worked very hard. The scorekeeper had a good impression of her. When she spoke, the scorekeeper said in a friendly manner, "Okay, come back as soon as you're done."
Ding Ying lowered her head, hurried out of the field, and trotted back to the village.
Ding Guo returned to his third aunt's house, washed the dishes used by everyone, and was thinking about making lunch for his third aunt and the others when he heard a knock on the door.
Who's coming again?
I went over and opened the door, and as soon as I opened it, I was greeted by a sobbing face.
Ding Ying didn't want to cry either, but she had been holding it in for several days and her emotions were suppressed to the extreme. When she learned that Ding Guo had returned today, she and Huang Meihua thought the same thing. They thought that Ding Guo was here to take her to get married, and they were frightened to the extreme again.
"Please, please, can you please not let your mother tell me about my in-laws!" Ding Ying burst into tears, and before she could finish her words, tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Ding Guo knew who she was.
Ding Erya, whose full name is Ding Ying, seemed to be classmates in the original owner's memory and had played together.
It's just that her expression was distorted because of crying, so she didn't recognize the person at first glance.
Since Ding Ying herself resists, then she has no psychological burden to get involved in the matter.
If I meet someone who is willing to do it, my two letters of complaint would actually be seen as ruining someone else's good deed.
He pulled the man in, looked outside, and said anxiously: "Don't cry yet, this won't work!"
Ding Ying, who was sobbing uncontrollably, was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Ding Guo took a basin of water and asked her to wash her face. Only then did he realize that the timing of his return seemed to be too coincidental.
She paused and asked, "You don't think I came back just for this?"
Ding Ying lowered her head and splashed water to wash her face, and said in a muffled voice: "Isn't it?"
Moreover, Ding Guo took up the topic so naturally, obviously he knew about this matter and other inside information. Didn’t he come back specifically for this matter?
Ding Guo slapped his forehead speechlessly and said, "Look at the time I chose."
"I didn't come here for this matter. I came back and heard from my third aunt that my second aunt has been coming to your house recently. That's when I found out that Yue Hongmei had done this evil."
That’s right, her family members didn’t know about the falling out between her and Yue Hongmei, but Ding Ying came to find her.
"Who is Yue Hongmei?"
Ding Guo: "My mom!"
Ding Ying washed her face and calmed down a lot. She was a little surprised that Ding Guo would directly call her mother's name.
Later, it was also apparent that Ding Guo was different from before.
It seems to be more fierce than when I was a child.
But now she had no time to reminisce about the past, and chased Ding Guo and asked again: "Are you saying that this thing can't be done? Are they not going to look for it anymore?"
She had to figure it out, otherwise she would always be worried.
Ding Guo certainly wouldn't talk about what he had reported, he just said vaguely: "They backed out, I guess they should call soon!"
This concerns Ding Ying's lifelong event. She was a little anxious and asked again to confirm: "Ding Guo, did you hear them say it yourself? Is this safe?"
Ding Guo didn't know what to say, so he said, "How about this, you go back and wait for a day or two. I think you should get a call soon."
Ding Ying's heart, which had just calmed down, was lifted up again, and her voice was filled with tears again: "Is your information reliable?"
On the other hand, Huang Meihua spent a lot of time talking and expressed her meaning in her words. She said that the people in the capital were waiting anxiously, and asked him to give a definite answer as soon as possible whether it was possible or not. If it was possible, she would call Fengning to discuss the subsequent procedures; if not, she could quickly find someone else.
Look, the eldest daughter of her uncle’s family has come back.
Obviously he came here for something happening in the capital.
Ding Ergou finally stopped being arrogant and nodded.
Huang Meihua walked away with a smile on her face.
I still have to go find Danier and ask her if she has the fifty yuan she brought me.
But I looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. I should have lunch first. In case that girl said something nonsense again, I would get angry.
But before she finished her lunch, she received a telegram from Fengning. Yue Hongmei told her on the phone to call back immediately after seeing the telegram.
Huang Meihua was so happy after hearing her son read the contents of the telegram that she couldn't stop grinning. She said to Ding Zhige with a smile, "Look at the timing of this telegram. Fortunately, Ergou nodded in the morning."
Ding Zhige: "After eating, go to the commune and call my sister-in-law to ask what to do next."
"What else can we do? Didn't Danier come back? She must be the one taking Arya away."
Speaking of Ding Guo, Huang Meihua's eyes rolled: "Wait and ask Danier to go to the commune with me."
Making phone calls is not free, you have to pay for it, and it’s not cheap.
Ding Guo's mother called. After she finished talking about this matter, she would have to say something to Ding Guo. If she did, she would speak first, then leave immediately, leaving Ding Guo to hang up the phone after she finished speaking. Wouldn't Ding Guo have to pay for it?
This was a good idea, but after dinner she went to the third brother's house to find Ding Guo and asked her to go with her to call her mother back. Ding Guo said simply: "No!"
"Why don't you go, kid? Your mother must have something to tell you." Huang Meihua said with a smile.
Ding Guo looked at Huang Meihua and said, "Second Aunt, did my mother ask you to do something?"
Huang Meihua looked at Peng Guihua and her brother-in-law beside her, winked at Ding Guo, and thought to herself, what's the matter, you don't know it, why do you have to tell me, and said, "It's nothing, what can your mother entrust to me, be obedient and follow Second Aunt!"
Ding Guo said with a half-smile: "I dare not listen to Second Aunt. If I listen to Second Aunt, I will suffer a great loss. I suffered a great loss when I was a child..."
The yellow plum blossom almost choked her to death.
I just asked her to accompany me to the commune to answer a phone call, why did she bring up her childhood again?
Huang Meihua said unhappily: "If you don't go, forget it. You will be at a loss!"
He turned around and walked away hurriedly.
Peng Guihua nodded at Ding Guo twice and said angrily, "That's enough. Otherwise, your second aunt will make up stories about you in front of the villagers."
Ding Guo didn't care.
Without a few more words of criticism, how could she gain internal friction points from the yellow plum blossom?
On the other side, Huang Meihua kept mumbling and cursing Ding Guo all the way. She was cursing because she was frustrated by Ding Guo one after another. As a result of her frustration, her name was on Ding Guo's backstage list.
But when she arrived at the commune and called Yue Hongmei's workplace, Zi waited for her to call back. After chatting for a few words, he had no time to scold Ding Guo.
"What? They don't want to look for him anymore? How can they just stop looking?" Huang Meihua's voice was a little sharp. "I've been busy for so many days, running back and forth to his house, my legs are broken, and he finally agreed, but he doesn't agree anymore? Why don't they want to? Are they kidding me? How can I explain this to them?"
Can she still earn that fifty dollars?
Her work was in vain, and she even had to pay for the phone call.
Yue Hongmei felt a headache when she heard the harsh sound coming from the microphone.
The second son's family is complaining.
Why don't you agree? It's because there's a troublemaker at home.
But she couldn't say this directly on the phone.
Firstly, there were other colleagues in the office, and secondly, she didn’t want her second son’s family to know that her own daughter didn’t listen to her, as she felt embarrassed.
Comrade Yue Hongmei, who was very concerned about her reputation, just glossed over it.
He said he had mailed twenty yuan back and asked Huang Meihua to buy something after receiving it and tell the girl that the two children were not destined to be together.
She patiently comforted her sister-in-law and prepared to ask Ding Guo indirectly about his return to his hometown. She was worried that Ding Guo would talk nonsense back home.
Huang Meihua could have earned fifty yuan, but ended up with only twenty. She no longer had the mood to complain and simply said, "I'm back, and I'm living with her third aunt!"
Bang, hung up the phone!
Yue Hongmei: ...
