Chapter 161 Let’s Get Divorced!
Having remotely destroyed Yue Hongmei's show-off to her grandson, Ding Guo rode his bike to the bus station in a good mood. When he arrived near the station, he found a place to put his bike away, bought a ticket and boarded a bus to Xiqing District.
She asked someone to change her shift two days ago, and now it is her turn to work the night shift. She has plenty of time to hang out during the day, and if she gets enough sleep for eight hours before work, she can be full of energy for the whole night.
She hasn’t sold all the watches yet, but she doesn’t plan to sell the remaining ones in Fengning anymore. Instead, she plans to explore new markets in the neighboring Xiqing District.
A large number of watches of the same brand appearing in one place is too eye-catching; and they are really out of stock here!
After arriving in Xiqing, I first bought a local map, and then used the city bus and bicycle to explore the entire Xiqing. It was time to return, so I took a bus back to Fengning to catch up on sleep and go to work.
I did some research the first day, and took a bus straight to Xiqing after work the next day. I arrived precisely at a suspected black market place that I had spotted yesterday, and placed a small speaker in the dark for observation.
There are people keeping watch at the entrance of the alley. If there is any abnormal situation, they will give warnings to help people trading inside escape.
But you have to pay an "entrance fee", no matter whether you are buying or selling, it's 1 cent, no bargaining.
Ding Guo has been a frequent visitor to the black market in the past six months. He knows that most of the black markets with sentinels are contracted out and have people behind them.
Of course, this type of market is not 100% safe and will be shut down when it is time to shut down. However, some markets can still recover after being shut down, while others will be shut down after being shut down.
Therefore, Ding Guo will not put the safety of the transaction entirely on these people. She will make full use of the small speaker today. In addition to listening to other people's bargaining so as to keep abreast of the current market conditions, she can also stay alert and quickly run away if she hears any wrong sounds.
Ding Guo disguised himself and painted his face so that his biological mother could not recognize him. He hung a large basket on his shoulder, which was filled with groceries purchased from the system mall. He hunched his back slightly, paid the money and walked in.
In addition to watches, she also sells things from the mall, with the main purpose of "whatever you need, I have it for you", except for things that are not available in the mall. If she comes across something that is not available in the mall, she will become a customer, spend money to buy it and put it in the space, for example, when she comes in, she sees a 50-year-old man carrying a chicken.
The chicken was tied up with its legs and held upside down. I don’t know if it was because it had been tied for too long or because it was too hot, but it looked a little wilted.
Ding Guo went over and asked about the age of the chickens. He didn't want chickens that were too old because the meat was hard to chew and they would also be a waste of firewood.
She also pursues taste.
Knowing that the chickens were less than two years old, Ding Guo asked about the price and bargained for it a bit. He didn't want anything else but to follow the crowd and not stand out.
After buying a live chicken, she began to look for a place to set up a stall and look for buyers for watches.
In fact, there is no need to ask too much. Just roll up your sleeves a little to reveal the two watches hanging on your wrist. Those who need it will naturally understand. After all, who would show off by wearing two watches and showing them to everyone?
At the same time, he spread a piece of sack on the ground, and laid out soap, an enamel pot, a towel, cloth and two small pieces of paper with the words "eggs", "rice" and "flour" written crookedly on them.
Ding Guo wrote it with his left hand, being cautious to the end.
No need to explain further, those who understand will understand.
As soon as the mini stall was set up, someone approached stealthily: "Are you selling watches?"
When a buyer came, Ding Guo skillfully quoted the price and bargained with the other party, mainly in RMB. If the other party did not have enough money, he would use other bills to pay.
After the watch transaction, a middle-aged woman came over to ask for cloth. She asked the price and bargained while looking around nervously. After buying the cloth, she put it in her bag and left in a hurry.
No one would hang around in the black market. They just wanted to buy and sell everything and leave, for fear that if they were too slow they would get into trouble.
Ding Guo felt that this black market was a great place. He stayed there for most of the day without encountering any danger. He also sold two watches and a bunch of sundries. He also sold a lot of food and eggs, as well as industrial products such as enamel pots and cloth.
Of course, she didn't stay there all the time. In order to pretend, she went out to carry two loads of goods. It was just an extra two cents in admission fee, but it was worth it.
She returned to Fengning in a good mood. She didn't go home. She found a secluded corner near the factory, hid in the space, removed her makeup, took a shower, washed her clothes, tidied herself up and fell asleep. When she woke up, she ordered some noodles from the mall and mixed it with the hot sauce that Pei Che made for her. She ate it up in a hurry, estimated the time and slipped out to the factory.
The next day we changed the location again.
After a week of night shifts, Ding Guo had nearly 600 yuan more in his pocket, which was a great gain.
Ding Guo will change her shift next week. Although she feels sorry for the end of her night shift, she won’t force it. She will just be thinking about which nearby city to go to next.
Silly Ding Dayong came back from a business trip, but he didn't notice his sister's whereabouts because the brother and sister worked day and night shifts.
The next morning, when Ding Guo arrived at the factory gate, he saw Ding Tao standing there.
"Sister, your letter was sent to the steel plant's staff quarters."
Who would send her letters to the steel plant’s staff quarters now?
Ding Guo took the letter and glanced at it. The address on the envelope was 'Suqing City, Yueling County, Zhongtai Commune, Yangjiazhuang Brigade'. Ding Guo was stunned at first, and then some scenes of life emerged in his mind. This was the place where the original owner went to the countryside.
The sender of the letter is 'Duan Qiuling'.
A girl with two pigtails, dark skin and a thin figure immediately appeared in Ding Guo's mind.
Duan Qiuling was also an educated youth who went to Fengning. Her parents were employees of a garment factory. The original owner had an average relationship with them. There were no particularly sharp conflicts, but it was definitely not a good relationship either.
Duan Qiuling said in the letter that Liao Chongfeng had also returned to the city.
Liao Chongfeng's family was also from Fengning. Although they went to the same brigade as them, they belonged to the same commune. In the second year of going to the countryside, Duan Qiuling and Liao Chongfeng started dating.
In her memory, Duan Qiuling seemed to have advised the original owner to find a partner among the educated youth. In addition to having someone to support each other, she could also avoid being harassed by local members of the commune. It was better to find an educated youth than a rural person.
Fortunately, the original owner was not smart in this regard and had an introverted personality. Apart from burying herself in repairing the earth, she was also concerned about the food and clothing issues of her parents and brothers and sisters who were far away in Fengning. She was always trying to feed the ungrateful person and did not cause her any romantic troubles.
Of course, Duan Qiuling's letter was not just to tell her about Liao Chongfeng's return to the city. After all, the original owner had only met Liao Chongfeng a few times and was not familiar with him. She suspected that Liao Chongfeng wanted to break up with her, and wanted Ding Guo to help find out whether Liao Chongfeng had fallen in love with someone else.
The suspicion is that in the past two months, Liao Chongfeng's replies to Duan Qiuling have become less and less frequent and more and more perfunctory.
Ding Guo didn't want to get involved in other people's emotional conflicts.
Duan Qiuling's parents are also from Fengning. How can she let her family members ask for the right to do so? How can she let someone who is not even a friend to help run errands?
Besides, Duan Qiuling also mentioned Ding Nianjun in the letter.
Duan Qiuling didn't know Ding Nianjun, but she knew the relationship between Ding Nianjun and Ding Guo and the reason why Ding Nianjun was fired.
Why did she write these few sentences when she had nothing to do? Was she threatening her with Ding Nianjun's affairs or mocking her? Ding Guo didn't understand what Duan Qiuling meant by this paragraph, but she was right to stay silent after reading the letter and continue her life.
The last photo with Pei Che has been developed and mailed to him. He also received a letter from Pei Che and the salary the man handed in, which was mixed with photos of his comrades and related information.
After receiving the letter, Ding Guo went to find Ding Tao. Ding Tao looked at the photo for a long time and read the letter that introduced the man several times. She regretted why her cousin's husband didn't send her a few more photos to choose from. She bit her lip and nodded shyly: "Let's talk by letter first. He hasn't seen my photo yet."
Because they were not officially in a relationship yet, Ding Tao did not reply to the letter individually. She just took a half-length photo and mailed it to Pei Che in the reply letter from Ding Guo to Pei Che.
If the other person likes her, they can contact each other privately and talk it over.
During this period, Ding Nianjun brought her husband and child back to Fengning, and stayed in the family compound for a few days. She also went to sit with Ding Jianguo. It is not known what they talked about, but the mother-son relationship between Ding Jianguo and Yue Hongmei was eased a little. After Lu Xiaomei finished her confinement, she also returned to the family compound with her child, and the family had a reunion dinner.
Afterwards, Ding Nianjun moved to the rented house, and Yue Hongmei moved there too.
According to Ding Tao, Ding Nianjun described a beautiful future to the unhappy Ding Xiang, which confused Xiao Laoliu. She didn't resent the unfairness of life so much at first, but she exploded when she learned that Yue Hongmei was going to take care of Ding Nianjun's children for a long time.
No matter how bright the future is, it cannot compare to the present moment where she doesn't have to work for a day and can eat meals cooked by her mother.
All this had nothing to do with Ding Guo, and she was not surprised by Yue Hongmei's choice. She was just a little curious about what Ding Nianjun said to Lu Xiaomei and how he comforted her, but Ding Tao couldn't find out.
She and her cousin's wife regarded each other as enemies and could not get along.
Now the food factory has increased its production tasks and has started preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival again.
Ding Guo went to work as usual during the day shift and did not research new products. Instead, he made a few changes to the sponge cake and added fillings. The sales volume was not very impressive, but he managed to stabilize the market and gain a place for himself.
When she changed to the night shift, she traveled to various districts and counties in Fengning. The number of watches she had was decreasing day by day, and the internal consumption value was decreasing rapidly. She converted all of them into small coins and put them into her pocket.
She is not short of money and is quite wealthy, but not being short of money does not reduce the joy of making money.
But as several conflicts in the Ding family were over, life became difficult as usual but also returned to peace. Ding Guo's daily income was greatly reduced, and only occasionally would a person's name pop up in the background and slowly pass by.
Ding Guo still had two pieces of news in her hands. Just when she was thinking about how to poke Old Ding's lungs without making any noise and appearing less deliberate, Jiuer came to find her.
Ding Nianjun's figure has hardly changed after giving birth, but her face and eyes no longer have the light that Ding Guo had when he first met her.
"Big sister!" Ding Nianjun was calm and composed, and called her "big sister" naturally, as if there had never been any conflict between the two of them, which made Ding Guo admire her very much.
"Just call me Comrade Ding or Comrade Ding Guo, thank you." Ding Guo smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Ding Nianjun bit her lip, seeming a little aggrieved.
Ding Guo tutted and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart. Don't waste my time."
Ding Nianjun's face froze, then he put away the expression on his face and said, "You ask Brother Che to find a way to get Jianshe back. I understand that you are dissatisfied with me. Jianshe is your brother. With the strength of the Pei family, this should not be difficult. If you help Jianshe escape from the sea of suffering, not only will Jianshe be grateful to you, but his parents will also..."
She thought about it for a long time. Although she was reluctant to let the Ding family get close to Ding Guo, she still had to help mediate and let Ding Guo restore the relationship with the Ding family.
It started with the proposal that Pei Che help get Ding Jianshe back. Later, when the relationship eased a little, she would find a way to get her parents to persuade Ding Guo and Pei Che to move Pan Dingfeng's job. If she could help get her parents-in-law back later, it would be even better. Then she would become their benefactor, and she would not need to live her life according to their wishes, but would let them work like a slave for her.
Let's take it step by step. Although this plan will take a long time to implement, it is beneficial to her.
Ding Guo had wanted to slap Ding Nianjun again for a long time. In the past, she had been holding the house for him. Now that the house was in her hands, it was time for her to get rid of it. He slapped her without hesitation: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Ding Nianjun was shocked and stunned.
It seemed as if she couldn't believe that Ding Guo would hit her for this suggestion, even though she clearly meant well.
In order to reinforce Ding Nianjun's belief in the fact that she was being beaten, Ding Guo gave her a symmetrical move: "If you dance in front of me again and let me see your disgusting face, I'll slap you!"
Ding Nianjun was afraid of being beaten again, so she ran away crying.
Ding Nianjun was a smart person who made good use of all the materials at her disposal. After being beaten, she ran to Ding Zhigang's workplace and cried, saying that she had good intentions, but she didn't know how she had upset Ding Guo, who slapped her twice.
Ding Zhigang seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, his eyes shining. Yes, the man that his eldest daughter found was from such a powerful family, could he find a way to get his second son back?
While thinking about this, he felt a little resentful of Ding Guo's cold-heartedness. Even Nianjun could think of construction, but Ding Guo didn't think at all about his own brother who was still suffering in the countryside.
After Ding Nianjun finished complaining and achieved his goal, he returned to his rented home and repeated the same words to Yue Hongmei.
Ding Guo looked at the names starting to scroll in the background and felt a sense of familiarity. It was still the same feeling, but the speed was a little slower.
Being so concerned about them, it would be strange if I didn’t see those two faces the next day.
Ding Guo clapped his hands in satisfaction at the sight of Ding Zhigang and Yue Hongmei, a couple, who appeared at the factory gate at the same time.
"I'm not trying to cause trouble, Mom. Did you know that Jiu'er was crying and shouting to find her biological mother during the Chinese New Year when she was pregnant?"
As soon as they met, Ding Guo took the initiative to attack Yue Hongmei just as she was about to open her mouth.
Some information should be used wisely. It's a pity that she held it in for so long without causing any trouble.
Yue Hongmei was stunned, her voice a little dry: "What biological mother?"
"Aunt Yu Shaofen, isn't she Jiu'er's biological mother? But I know she's an ungrateful person and I don't want to acknowledge her." Ding Guo asked with a smile, "It's been such a long time, Jiu'er didn't mention this to you? Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like you two aren't really good mother and daughter who can talk about everything. You didn't even tell you about this."
Yue Hongmei was really shocked, she didn't believe it!
Also, isn't Yu Shaofen that woman in the northwest? Where did Nianjun meet that woman?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that? Who is gossiping behind your back?" Yue Hongmei asked sharply, her face flushed with the shock of the news.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes. I went to Aunt Shaofen's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Ding Nianjun rushed over crying and shouting with a big belly. Aunt Shaofen didn't even let her call her mom, but she still shamelessly called her mom. Wow, it was so touching!"
Yue Hongmei's eyes went dark. She opened her mouth several times. She wanted to ask Nianjun where her biological father was. Was he there at the time? Didn't he recognize Nianjun as his daughter?
Fortunately, she still had some sense and knew that her beloved husband was still beside her, so she didn't ask the questions that were on the tip of her tongue.
Ding Zhigang, who was listening nearby, also had a bad look on his face. Didn’t Ding Nianjun cut off ties with her biological parents?
Also, why did Ding Guo go to Ding Nianjun's mother's house to pay New Year's greetings? How did she know her family? What else did she know?
Ding Guo looked at Ding Zhigang and said with the same smile: "Dad, do you know where Pan Dingfeng works?"
Buzz——
The darkness in front of Yue Hongmei's eyes was reduced to a level, and just now it was replaced by stars. Ding Guo's words made her ears buzz.
"You can't say it!" Yue Hongmei said sharply to stop herself from rushing towards Ding Guo. Her vision went dark again, and she seemed to have lost her subconsciousness for a short time, because she didn't even realize why she woke up in Ding Zhigang's arms even though she was clearly rushing towards Ding Guo.
Of course, it was Ding Guo who caught the person and threw him back to her beloved husband.
Ding Zhigang hugged his skinny wife, his expression furious and filled with frustration.
There was such a secret hidden in the place where Pan Dingfeng worked, but no one told him.
He was deceived again, by his own wife and adopted daughter! He was furious, but his wife had fainted, and he couldn't just ignore it, so he was angry and aggrieved at the same time, and almost fainted.
Without even telling Ding Guo about their plan to visit him, the couple went to the hospital, one supporting the other.
After Yue Hongmei finished infusing a bottle of water and regained some of her spirit, she looked at Ding Zhigang, who had lifeless eyes beside the bed, with a guilty conscience. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Ding Zhigang rub his face hard with his hands, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can't you let go of that man?"
He couldn't let go of her to the point of letting her raise his daughter, and couldn't let go of his son-in-law even when he was transferred to the place where the man grew up...
Ding Zhigang closed his eyes, tears rolling down his old face. He lost, he admitted defeat: "Let's get a divorce!"
