Chapter 82 Two in One
Xiao Laoliu fought hard but ended up in failure.
After all, the little brat never twisted the slap from his parents.
Comrade Old Ding could not overcome his eldest son's stupidity, because without his knowledge, Ding Jianguo had already discussed the marriage with Lu Xiaomei's family. Was he going to go back on his word?
So, three days later, the Ding family came to propose marriage, gave a betrothal gift of two hundred yuan, and also bought three turns and a ring. On the fourth day, the two went to get their marriage certificate.
The banquet is scheduled for Sunday.
Ding Zhigang felt extremely uncomfortable. For the sake of his eldest son's happiness, he even showed his feudal superstition and solemnly asked his son and Yue Hongmei to swear together that marriage is marriage and there is no such thing as getting married for good luck.
Yue Hongmei didn't dare to refute anything and agreed readily, but what she thought in her heart was another matter.
Dingxiang moved to her parents' room crying, set up a small bed next to them, pulled a rope in the middle and put a curtain in between.
Yue Hongmei meant not to invite Ding Guo for fear that she would cause trouble, but Ding Zhigang was very firm in his attitude. Ding Guo was his daughter, and if his adopted daughter could come back for a wedding at home, why couldn't his biological daughter come back?
Yue Hongmei was speechless. This was her weak point, but Ding Zhigang used this matter again and again to humiliate her and lose her face. She became more and more impatient. She felt like there was a fire burning in her heart, but she couldn't find an outlet to vent it. She felt very uncomfortable.
Of course Ding Guo would not refuse the opportunity to attend the banquet. She also gave a pair of handkerchiefs as a gift, expressing her blessings with real money.
For the safety and happiness of the old Ding family, she even used blood suppression to hold down little Laoliu and prevent her from doing anything naughty. Didn't you see that little Laoliu's eyes were about to spit fire when she looked at Ding Jianguo and his new sister-in-law?
Don’t cause trouble for the Ding family. She doesn’t want any accidents to happen to them now.
Ding Zhigang was very pleased to see this, thinking that his eldest daughter had taken to heart what he said that day. He wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words to improve their relationship, but when he thought of what his eldest daughter had said, he felt embarrassed again and did not dare to ask her to come back to discipline her younger siblings. Instead, he asked Dayong why he did not come.
Because the marriage was hasty and time was tight, he didn't even notify his hometown.
Ding Guo twisted his mouth and said, "Working overtime, busy!"
Ding Zhigang opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask where his nephew worked, but thinking about what Yue Hongmei had done, he didn't ask.
Because the bride was introduced by Ding Nianjun, and they were also good friends, Ding Guo did not move forward. He just focused on the feast and ate until his belly was full. However, Ding Nianjun was the one who took charge of the event and had a lot of fun with a few colleagues from the factory.
Although Pan Dingfeng didn't come, he asked Ding Nianjun to send a pair of thermos bottles.
He has been very busy lately and has lost a lot of weight.
Qi Guangming’s matter was more serious than what they had previously inquired about. They heard that he had revealed some things, and now it seemed as if a sword was hanging over their family’s head, making them feel uneasy.
If there were only some gift exchanges between him and Qi Guangming, he could have voluntarily handed over the things Qi Guangming had given him over the years, replaced the missing items with banknotes, and voluntarily written a self-criticism, which would have minimized the impact.
But the most difficult thing at the moment is that Fengning actually found out that Qi Guangming had falsely claimed military merits in the past.
The matter was settled with the help of the old man. Although he has passed away, the case still had a great impact on their Pan family.
Not to mention the murder case that Qi Guangming was involved in back then. As far as he knew, someone had begun to reinvestigate the matter.
Some of them are also the work of the old man.
What made him even more frightened was that the reasons why his competitors were demoted were also found out.
Father Pan has used all his connections to put pressure on the family these days, but no matter how powerful the family is, they cannot cover the sky with one hand.
The Pan family is not without rivals. Once the rivals notice something, they will definitely intervene, and the troubles they will face will be unimaginable.
Looking at his father's haggard face, Pan Dingfeng felt regret for the first time in his life. He regretted that he should not have let Uncle Qi help deal with Ding Guo.
My father found some clues and found out that Qi Guangming was arrested. It was Ding Guo's revenge. It was all caused by him.
Pan Dingfeng was still puzzled: "Dad, the Xiao Haifeng you mentioned has a niece named Xiao Hong. She is Jianguo's ex-girlfriend. She must hate the Ding family to death. How could she help Ding Guo to make connections?"
Father Pan sneered. This son was really stupid in this regard: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Pan Dingfeng was shocked and looked incredulous.
Ding Guo regards the Ding family as an enemy? How is that possible!
No, no, no, she regards him as an enemy. She is Nianjun's boyfriend, and Nianjun is the sister of Xiaohong's ex-boyfriend, who is the apple of his eye. So if Ding Guo wants to overthrow Uncle Ding to slap her in the face, Xiaohong will naturally not reject it.
It makes sense when you think about it this way!
But he still felt that Ding Guo was too cold-blooded. He was not only cold-blooded towards Nianjun, but also towards Jianguo. He would actually cooperate with the woman who dumped his brother.
So scary!
"So, she asked Xiao Haifeng for help, but how could Xiao Haifeng have such great power?"
If Xiao Haifeng had this ability, he would have dug out Qi Guangming's deeds long ago.
The family also inquired about the man named Xiao Haifeng, who was considered Qi Guangming's old rival. It was impossible that such an opponent had not investigated Qi Guangming's affairs. It was impossible that he had found out about it a long time ago and had been saving it up until now, right?
Father Pan shook his head. He was also confused. He hadn't found much in this regard. But he was very tired. He looked at his son with heavy eyes: "Do you have to marry the girl from the Ding family?"
Pan Dingfeng looked away in silence, his attitude speaking for itself.
It has come to this point, and even if I separate from Nianjun, I can't save the current situation.
The most important thing is that he and Nianjun are already husband and wife, so how can he let it go?
Father Pan closed his eyes to hide the deep disappointment in them.
It was all caused by this son, but what could he do? He had two sons in total. One had a brain damaged by a high fever when he was young. Fortunately, the second son was quite promising and was his lifelong hope. Who would have thought that he would be ruined by a woman?
The family is in a precarious situation now, but the son is still in the mood to report his marriage. The girl will come over in two days to get the marriage certificate.
Well, let's fulfill his wish.
The root cause of these things was their son's insistence on marriage and their opposition.
If the family had gone along with their son from the beginning, not set any obstacles for him, or put forward that condition, would none of this have happened today?
Father Pan rubbed his face tiredly.
Pan Dingfeng also felt very uncomfortable and regretted his impulsiveness. His mother had not spoken to him for several days. As for his father...if it were not for Qi Guangming's case that needed to be discussed, he would probably have ignored him.
On the Fengning side, Ding Guo walked away with a bloated belly after the meal, which made Yue Hongmei very angry. However, today was her son's wedding day, and she did not dare to provoke Ding Guo for fear that she would go crazy. She could only hold back and mutter a few words.
Lu Xiaomei was also very unhappy. She knew that Ding Guo and Ding Jianguo had a bad relationship, but she didn't expect their relationship to be so bad. After all, her own brother was getting married, and she actually gave him a pair of handkerchiefs.
As for the housing issue, she heard from Nianjun that Ding Guo rented a house outside and she knew that he lived very comfortably.
Even though the family cleared out a room for the young couple, which made her sister-in-law unhappy, she didn't like the cramped little room at all. It was separated by wooden boards, and the two brothers-in-law next door could hear any slight noise.
She wanted to go talk to Ding Guo after she was done with her work and ask about the house she rented. But as soon as she saw off a few colleagues, Ding Guo was gone.
Information messenger Xiao Hong came again to deliver the message, bringing the latest progress of the investigation.
"Sister Ding Guo, there are new melons!" Xiao Hong couldn't help sharing after entering the door, even before the car was set up.
Ding Guo also perked up when he heard this. He quickly let the person in, made a pot of sugar water for Xiao Hong, and put out some melon seeds: "What new melon?"
Xiao Hong heard the word "melon" from Ding Guo, and now she is also keen on eating melons.
"Qi Guangming and his brother-in-law are really birds of a feather. However, Sun Shuzhao's lover seems to know that he has a lover outside, but she has no support from her family, so she can only swallow her anger. Qi Guangming also has a lover outside and has two illegitimate children, but the Sun family is powerful, so he dare not be so blatant, so he is usually very cautious and keeps it a secret. My uncle just found out."
Qi Guangming and his wife only had one daughter. Qi Guangming injured her body during childbirth and never got pregnant again. Qi Guangming was traditional in his thinking and always wanted a son. As his position rose, he gradually became bolder.
His other home is not even in Fengning, but in the neighboring Gaowang City, which shows how cautious he is.
His father-in-law was originally helping him, but after knowing about this, he gave up on Qi Guangming!
Ding Guo was dumbfounded: "This uncle is really full of energy. Not only does he have to work, he also has to manage the black market. He even found time to find a little girl and gave birth to two sons."
"I can tell you that when my uncle found out, he was stunned. He kept thinking that he wasn't sharp enough. The man had two sons, but he didn't find any clues. He was simply not a qualified opponent."
Qi Guangming also hid it well.
Ding Guo silently complained in his heart, otherwise your uncle must have been punished by someone in his previous life.
Xiao Hong complained about her uncle with disdain, and talked about other progress: "The Pan family has been looking for people to put pressure on them. Some of the cases against Qi Guangming involved the military, and my uncle's connections were not helpful, so the progress was not smooth. However, my uncle did find someone who had a grudge against the Pan family in the past, and he is actively contacting them, hoping to cooperate with them."
"We contacted the local police station to overturn the case of Qi Guangming's murder. The Pan family should have put pressure on the local police station, but they were not very cooperative. The most infuriating thing is that the family of the murdered girl refused to acknowledge the case. Either the Pan family promised them benefits or they were threatened. We can only continue to investigate and do ideological work."
Ding Guo sneered: "The harder the Pan family suppresses us, the more serious the damage will be when we rebound."
Xiao Hong nodded: "My uncle thinks so too. It is not wise for the Pan family to suppress the case at this time. Oh, yes, there is also good news. Qi Guangming helped to deal with several competitors of Pan Dingfeng's father. Two of them have been contacted. My uncle is trying to help them overturn the case. These two families were quite powerful before. If they can successfully overturn the case, it will help my uncle."
Ding Guo: "Your uncle has worked hard. He must be under a lot of pressure recently, right?"
Xiao Hong nodded and said, "But the gains are not small. Some interpersonal relationships will only become closer if you keep in touch with them. My uncle has used all the connections he can during this period of time. He has made connections with people and made new friends."
But it will also offend some people.
However, Ding Guo felt that Xiao Haifeng's vigorous handling of the case was better than being silent.
Xiao Haifeng in the book did not have such a wonderful story, but in the end he was plotted against. Now things have started to move and his network of connections has been utilized. Even if the person who plotted against him was not Qi Guangming but someone else, he still has to think twice.
Maybe you can avoid the fate in the book.
As to whether he could be transferred from the Revolutionary Committee and join the unit he wanted as he wished, it was unknown.
This weekend, Ding Guo listened to the report from the "intelligence agent" and made an appointment to go shopping.
As for Ding Jianguo's marriage, Ding Guo did not mention it to Xiao Hong. After all, he was an outsider. What did it have to do with Xiao Hong whether an outsider got married or not?
But Xiao Hong still found out. Her colleagues at the garment factory heard the news from somewhere and found out that Xiao Hong had had a relationship with Ding Jianguo, so they couldn't help but tell her about it.
Xiao Hong felt nothing but annoyance. She didn't understand why these people always talked to her about Ding Jianguo. She had nothing to do with Ding Jianguo anymore, yet they acted as if she still cared about Ding Jianguo's movements.
The two were riding their bikes when Ding Guo caught a glimpse of someone walking towards them from the side of the road and his expression froze.
After they passed each other, she said to Xiao Hong, "Xiao Hong, wait for me in a corner on the street. I see someone I know, let me go over and take a look."
It was just a coincidence that the last time he ran into Ding Nianjun sneaking to the village in the city, Ding Guo accidentally discovered that Ding Nianjun's biological mother had already arrived in Fengning. This time he was traveling with Xiao Hong and ran into Ding Nianjun's biological mother directly.
This place is not as close to the urban village as the last time.
Also, didn’t Ding Nianjun report her biological mother? Did they not catch her or did they just release her?
Not wanting to miss it if he came across it, Ding Guo wanted to follow and take a look.
Xiao Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you out front."
Ding Guo turned the car around and chased after him.
In order to avoid alerting the target, she kept her distance after finding that the target used the shoe prop to start tracking and turned on the small speaker to collect the sound.
It was noisy during the day, but fortunately she had practiced it. As long as Ding Nianjun's mother spoke, she could lock onto her voice.
The small speaker didn't yield much, but the shoes did point the way very accurately. However, when she reached a group of tube-shaped buildings, she ran into an acquaintance, Chen Aiju, who worked in the same workshop.
"Ding Guo, why are you here?"
Ding Guo said in surprise: "Sister Chen, you live here?"
"Yes, there are many people from the food factory living in this area."
But this is not the food factory’s staff housing compound. In addition to the food factory, there are also many people from other units living here.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. I came here to help my brother find a house."
Speaking of houses, a flash of lightning went through Ding Guo's mind. A few days ago, he heard Chen Aiju mention that the house upstairs from their house was borrowed by a relative, and a middle-aged woman moved in. Could it be such a coincidence?
Did Ding Nianjun's biological mother move here to live?
It's really strange. If she hadn't relied on the plot in the book, she wouldn't have known when she would have found one. How come it was so easy for the heroine's mother to find a house?
The last time I lived in the urban village, I rented it, right? This one must be the same.
Without having time to think about this, Ding Guo greeted Chen Aiju with a smile, saying that she was also here to look for a house and ended up here.
"Since I'm here, I'll go in and take a look around."
Chen Aiju was very enthusiastic: "Would you like me to take you with me?"
"No need, Sister Chen, go and do your work, I'll just take a look around and be back soon."
"Okay, if you need anything, come find me at Building 7..."
When he met Chen Aiju, she was carrying a basket and walking out. She must be going to buy vegetables. After a few words of greeting, they parted ways. Ding Guo followed her shoes and, as expected, walked to the bottom of Building 7.
There is no need to check further, Ding Nianjun's biological mother lives upstairs from Chen Aiju's house.
Ding Guo memorized the location and planned to come back to see it when he had time in the evening.
She pushed the cart and turned around and walked a few steps. A voice came from behind her: "Are you looking for me?"
Ding Guo was startled and turned around suddenly. Who else could it be but Yu Shaofen?
This person's alertness is so strong!
But since he was discovered, Ding Guo simply admitted it openly: "Yes!"
Yu Shaofen obviously recognized Ding Guo: "You are the eldest daughter of the Ding family, Ding Guo!"
Ding Guo smiled. She was following someone secretly. It turned out that she had been secretly observed by someone for a long time, and she didn't notice it at all.
She felt that Ding Nianjun was truly worthy of being a heroine and was surrounded by luck.
Her adoptive mother treated her like a treasure, and her biological mother also loved her and secretly paid attention to the people and things around her daughter.
Comrade Yu probably also knows the rest of the situation of Old Ding's family.
Then it was obvious that his relationship with Ding Nianjun was not good.
"Don't be nervous." Yu Shaofen's voice was gentle, not the kind of gentleness that was deliberately pretended, but a naturally gentle tone that seemed to come from her bones.
But this person was able to escape from the Northwest Farm, come to Fengning safely, and still stand in front of her at this time. Ding Guo didn't think that the other person's personality was also gentle.
Yu Shaofen gestured to the side, "Let's go and talk."
Ding Guo subconsciously pushed the cart to catch up. After walking a few steps, she suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yu Shaofen again.
She is not a simple person. Even an ordinary sentence seems to carry some magic, making people follow her rhythm unconsciously.
Ding Guo always felt that such a person should not be an ordinary person, so why is there no follow-up to her in the book?
Yu Shaofen seemed not to notice Ding Guo's gaze. She spoke again, "I know you don't have a good relationship with her. I don't have a good relationship with her either. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Not long ago, she reported me."
No names were mentioned, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
Ding Guo: “Have you been arrested?”
Ding Guo used honorifics unconsciously.
It was also strange. She hated Ding Nianjun and everyone related to Ding Nianjun. She followed here to find something fishy, but for some reason, even though they had only a brief contact, she didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust towards Ding Nianjun's biological mother.
Yu Shaofen shook her head bitterly: "I dodged it. If I didn't have this much vigilance, I would have died countless times all the way from the northwest."
Ding Guo was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Did you come here just to find your daughter? She's living a good life, at least she's been living a good life for the past twenty years."
Yu Shaofen nodded, then shook her head: "I just passed by here and saw her. I know she is doing well. Your parents love her very much, and they are willing to let you down."
Ding Guo curled his lips: "You have found out everything clearly."
"Comrade Ding Guo, I have no ill intentions. I just want to know about my daughter's situation, but the more I learn, the more... I feel ashamed and sorry for you."
Ding Guo shook his head: "It is Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei who are sorry for me!"
"After all, she came out of my belly. She did something bad, and it's hard for me to act calmly as if nothing happened." Yu Shaofen's voice was cold. "I am very conflicted about your mother. I am grateful to her but also hate her. I didn't know that Ningning was taken away by your mother. At that time, Ningning's father had an accident and I had just given birth to a child. The huge panic and shock made me have a high fever that would not go away. I was rarely awake and was carried on the bullock cart. When I woke up, I found out that her father had decided to send Ningning away. But I didn't dare to make a fuss at that time. Once I made a fuss, your family would be implicated, and I didn't have the energy to make a fuss."
She was so ill at the time that she thought she was going to die. Besides, the matter was already settled, and the people who were escorting them would definitely not help her find her daughter. She hated her husband for giving her daughter away without her consent, but she also secretly hoped that the family who took her daughter away was kind and would treat her daughter well.
Ding Guo was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Another thing that is not in the book... Oh, no, in the book, when the heroine was recognizing her biological father, Zhang Shengkai seemed to have expressed his feelings. Ding Guo could not remember the exact words, but the general meaning was that Zhang Shengkai was very glad that he made that wise decision back then.
I thought this decision was made jointly by Zhang Shengkai and his wife, but now it seems that it was unilaterally made by Zhang Shengkai.
Ding Guo was too tired to complain about Yue Hongmei. What was the difference between this and robbing someone? As a blood relative, she also felt very ashamed at the moment!
"Did you know that Ding Nianjun is getting married soon?"
Yu Shaofen nodded: "She has already set off for the capital. She is very much like her father. She is a typical egoist. In order to get what she wants, she can sacrifice everything around her."
Ding Guo was stunned again.
Comrade Yu Shaofen was probably provoked by the report from her own daughter, and her complaints were very harsh, but also very accurate.
However, is this a way of speaking up for Ding Nianjun in a self-deprecating way?
Ding Guo's eyes became defensive, and he concentrated on chatting with Yu Shaofen.
"Don't you think it's a problem with Yue Hongmei's education?"
Yu Shaofen shook her head. "In general, Yue Hongmei has been well educated, but the nature inherited from her bones cannot be changed by education. Once invaded by external forces, she will awaken. She awakens very thoroughly and never reflects on herself or corrects herself."
That's why Ding Nianjun wanted to destroy Ding Guo, because Ding Guo was the one who made Ding Nianjun realize his bad nature, even if Ding Guo did nothing.
She felt ashamed of her poor vision in choosing a man, and felt sad that her daughter had perfectly inherited that man's selfishness.
Ding Guo was speechless. No matter whether Yu Shaofen spoke for Ding Nianjun in a derogatory way or not, he really wanted Ding Nianjun to hear these words with his own ears.
"You and...Comrade Zhang?"
"We divorced a few years ago. I don't know if he is married now. I don't think so. That girl is stupid, but her family is not stupid." Yu Shaofen smiled sarcastically, "But you never know. Stupid people always have passion and the spirit of moths to flames without hesitation."
She turned to look at Ding Guo and said with a smile, "Zhang Shengkai has a good appearance and is very good at disguising himself, especially in front of people who are beneficial to him. So even though he is a labor camp inmate, it does not prevent him from developing a second life. Ningning looks like him."
Human nature also followed him.
Ding Guo: ???
Emma, it’s such a big melon, she needs to digest it!
