Chapter 178178 Unexpected Fortune
"Zhang Shengkai drugged the pigs raised in the village..."
Ding Guo was shocked: "Why are you so brave?"
It was also the first time that Yu Qian heard her aunt mention this matter, and she was puzzled: "Isn't that collective property?"
Yu Shaofen sneered: "Of course it is collective property, otherwise the punishment would not be so severe. He may think that he is capable and no one can find out about his bad deeds."
At that time, there were more than a dozen pigs in the village, and someone had to be chosen to be responsible for looking after them. Zhang Shengkai's father also participated in the competition, but he was defeated by a villager named Liu Weimin.
The old couple did not dare to hate the village cadres, but they held a grudge against Liu Weimin and wanted to disrupt his job.
Liu Weimin's family had been poor farmers for three generations. He worked diligently and was honest. Since they could not find any fault with him, the old couple encouraged their sons to give drugs to the pigs. If something happened to the pigs in the village, Liu Weimin would naturally not be able to do his job.
It was not an easy life, and the old couple were reluctant to let their eldest son go because he had given them three grandchildren.
The second son was firmly opposed and even tried to persuade his parents.
The third son didn't want to get involved, but also didn't want to upset his parents, so he found an excuse to take his wife to visit his father-in-law's house.
Anyway, after all the trouble, the matter finally fell on Zhang Shengkai's head.
Zhang Shengkai kept this matter completely secret from Yu Shaofen, because he knew that Yu Shaofen would definitely object if she knew.
Yu Shaofen smiled bitterly and said, "I was also blind. It was only after I married Zhang Shengkai that I realized that we were not compatible in terms of ideology."
Ding Guo asked curiously, "Aunt Yu, did you two date on your own or did someone else help to introduce you to each other?"
Yu Shaofen: "I talked to him myself, but we got married not long after we started dating. I had no choice, he saved me at that time, so I owe him a favor..."
"Wait for Aunt Yu." In the dark night, Ding Guo sat up suddenly. She also found experience from novels. Thinking of a certain possibility, she asked tentatively, "Could it be that you were harassed and he jumped out to be a hero and save the beauty?"
Yu Shaofen was surprised: "How did you know?"
"Really?" Ding Guo asked again, "Aunt Yu, did he express his affection for you before and you declined?"
Yu Shaofen also sat up: "Guoguo, how do you know this? Did Yue Hongmei tell you?"
"No, no, no, I guessed it." Ding Guo pulled the light cord and said seriously, "Aunt Yu, have you ever thought that this might be Zhang Shengkai's plan? Have you been tricked by him?"
"design?"
Yu Shaofen was puzzled, but she was not stupid. She guessed, "You mean he hired the people who harassed me? What does he want..."
Picture her!
Yu Shaofen froze there.
At that time, she had just arrived in the countryside and had no plan to get married there, so when Zhang Shengkai expressed his affection for her, she refused, and used very tactful words, for fear of hurting Zhang Shengkai's self-esteem.
About two months later, she had to go to the town for something and it was just getting dark when she returned to the village. When she was about to reach the educated youth point, she was stopped by two uneducated young men in the village. They blocked her way and even took advantage of her verbally.
Just as the stalemate was going on, Zhang Shengkai appeared, loudly scolded the two young men, and even fought with one of them, getting punched in the face.
Yu Shaofen felt bad, but naturally remembered the favor. So, she agreed to Zhang Shengkai's proposal without thinking and hastily set up the wine party.
For so many years, she always thought that Zhang Shengkai really saved her, otherwise her reputation might have been ruined.
This is also why after Zhang Shengkai was caught drugging pigs, she not only used her private money to compensate the village for its losses, but was also willing to accompany him to the farm for labor reform.
Now that Ding Guo has reminded me of this, I think about it carefully and realize that it is full of loopholes.
"That son of a bitch!"
Yu Shaofen was very angry, but it was too late. They were married and now divorced, and they had a child. The matter was a foregone conclusion. Even if she knew that Zhang Shengkai had cheated on her, what could she do?
Yu Shaofen lay back down again.
Ding Guo comforted her: "Maybe I guessed wrong."
"You guessed right." Yu Shaofen said confidently, "I was wondering how it could be such a coincidence. I don't have any conflicts with those two scoundrels. I haven't even met them a few times. How come they made things difficult for me?"
And how come Zhang Shengkai appeared by such coincidence?
Zhang Shengkai said at the time that he went to his second aunt's house...
Thinking of this, Yu Shaofen remembered something.
During the first year of their marriage, they went to Zhang Shengkai's second aunt's house. She mentioned that Zhang Shengkai came to her house in the winter. At that time, her second aunt was stunned, and Zhang Shengkai suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat and started coughing.
At that time, she didn't think anything was wrong. She was worried that Zhang Shengkai had ridden his bike with her all the way, and that she had been sweating and exposed to the wind, and she might have caught a cold.
Now that I think about it, going to my second aunt’s house to save her that day was obviously just an excuse.
"Thank you, Guoguo. I never thought Zhang Shengkai had such a plan. If you hadn't told me, I would have been deceived for the rest of my life."
At the Northwest Farm, when she found out that Zhang Shengkai was having an affair with another woman behind her back, she was furious and wanted to report him. However, Zhang Shengkai burst into tears and begged for mercy. When he talked about the past, he inadvertently mentioned the time when she was molested by a village youth. Yu Shaofen then said that he had saved her that time, and she let him go this time, so they were even. From then on, they went their separate ways.
Zhang Shengkai agreed to the divorce.
Damn it, this matter can't be settled.
Yu Shaofen was so angry that she couldn't sleep for half the night. She was thinking about how to vent her anger. When she went to work the next day, her eyes were black.
Yu Qian was also angry and felt sorry for her aunt.
Ding Guo also sighed, saw his aunt and nephew off, rode his bike out, found a place to store the bike, and took a bike to the second-hand market in Xicheng District.
The flea market here is larger than the ones she visited yesterday, with more things and more people.
Ding Guo chose a place with few people, squatted down and started searching.
Her targets are books, newspapers, novels, comic books, etc.
When she finds something she thinks is good, she takes it out and puts it aside, and they settle the bill together at the end.
While rummaging, Ding Guo found a bowl among a pile of junk.
Ding Guo almost forgot about the story in the book about Ding Nianjun shopping on Taobao at a scrap yard somewhere.
Seeing this bowl brought back her forgotten memories.
"Mouse, is there a bowl among the treasures that Ding Nianjun found in the book?"
She remembered one vase, one painting, and forgot the other.
System: "Han Dynasty celadon bowl, Yuan Dynasty blue and white animal-eared vase, Xu Beihong's plum blossom painting."
Ding Guo looked at the bowl in his hand, which was so dark that it was almost black, and sighed regretfully. It was probably not the case.
Celadon shouldn’t be this color, right?
The system can't give any advice.
It can only provide information described in the book and cannot help identify the real object.
But Ding Guo still planned to keep the bowl.
Meeting is fate, what if it turns out to be an antique?
As for the painting, it seems that what the heroine bought was not a plum blossom painting, and the artist was not Xu Beihong. It was only after she took it home that she discovered there was something fishy about the painting, and only then did she discover that it was an authentic work of Xu Beihong.
"Were all three treasures found at the same acquisition station?"
System: "The book only mentions that it was found in three times, but it doesn't describe the specific scene."
The information is limited, so it depends on luck to see if you can get the heroine's luck back.
Ding Guo picked up two ceramic bowls, one of which had a slight dent on the edge. After a while he told the person in charge that he wanted to buy it to feed the chickens and dogs.
Taking away Tao Wan, who was used as a pair, Ding Guo took out a blue and white cup from under a pile of newspapers.
It didn’t matter whether it was an antique or not, she thought the shape of the object was very beautiful and put it aside.
As for calligraphy and painting, she searched for the whole morning but didn't find a single painting, but she did find a lot of books.
Ding Guo gathered the things he had chosen, put the pile of bowls on top, and went over to settle the bill.
She was worried that the person in charge would ask her questions, but the old man was so absorbed in listening to a storytelling that he took a quick glance and estimated a price. Ding Guo paid the money, and the old man took it, opened the drawer and threw the money inside without even giving Ding Guo a second look.
Ding Guo carried the things out of the purchasing station, walked a distance away, found a corner where he could hide, made sure there was no one nearby, and put both the person and the things into the space.
She went to the bathroom to take a shower first, washed and dried her clothes, then came out drying her hair, carried the bowl into the kitchen, wet the rag, and wiped it carefully.
I picked up the black bowl and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was. I had to put it in the kitchen temporarily and find someone to help me identify it when I had the chance.
It was the blue and white cup that Ding Guo discovered by accident. He hadn't looked at it carefully before, but now he saw "Made in the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty" on the bottom of the bowl.
"Mouse, antique, this is an antique, I found an antique!" Ding Guo exclaimed in surprise.
But the system could not resonate with her at all, and congratulated her without any emotion: "Congratulations!"
Ding Guo was really excited. This was really an unexpected surprise.
She has her own luck.
I just didn't expect that my luck would be more than that.
Ding Guo went outside to sort out the books and periodicals he had collected in the past two days. There was too much dust, so he swatted and shook them.
As a result, a few pieces of stuff fell out from some book and floated to the ground.
Four stamps, three of which show Mei Lanfang in theatrical costumes, and one of which shows Mei Lanfang wearing a Zhongshan suit.
All of them were issued in the 1960s.
Ding Guo doesn't know much about stamps, but he knows that the mountains and rivers of the motherland are all red.
But I guess the stamps from the 1960s should also have collection value.
Because she didn't understand the market conditions in the future, these stamps were not as attractive to her as the two Great Unity stamps next to them.
"Who is so stupid as to forget to put his wallet in the book?"
She was holding a shaking pile of things, and she didn't know which book they fell from, so Ding Guo didn't consider returning them.
Besides, it’s not in the hands of the owner yet.
After going to so many purchasing stations and collecting so many books and periodicals, this was the first time she had shaken something out of a book.
"I'm so lucky today!"
It was only because there were no lottery tickets at that time, otherwise she would have to buy a few lottery tickets.
After arranging the books, Ding Guo washed his hands and sat on the sofa in the living room to eat.
She didn't order any food from the mall this time, but she had accumulated some ready-made food in her space during this period of time.
Steamed rice, soft steamed buns, freshly baked bread, and millet and rice porridge in aluminum lunch boxes.
Before coming to the capital, she went to the central street to find Uncle Chen and ordered two roast chickens and two portions of crispy fried meat, both of which were still warm.
The space also contains vegetables she picked from her own backyard.
She was too lazy to stir-fry the vegetables, so she washed a cucumber and went to the kitchen to cut it into strips and put it on a plate.
Eat fried meat and roast chicken with steamed buns, and dip a cucumber stick in chili sauce from time to time. It's very satisfying.
Finally I drank half a lunch box of millet porridge.
After eating, I went for a walk outside to digest the food, went back to the house to take a nap, changed my clothes in the afternoon, put on makeup, and went to the purchasing station again.
In the whole morning, she only turned over a small part of it, and many areas were still untouched.
Perhaps Master Ding was in a hurry to make a fortune, so he worked hard for the whole afternoon but ended up with nothing.
As expected, unexpected wealth always appears unexpectedly and cannot be found by looking for it deliberately.
In order to make himself forget about the unexpected wealth, Ding Guo did not go to the purchasing station the next day, but went to find a place to sell the watch.
She filled her purse here.
Yue Hongmei, who was far away in Fengning, took Chinese medicine and was driven out by her landlord.
Because the problems of vomiting, gluttony and drowsiness were not solved and were even particularly severe for two or three days, Ding Nianjun had no choice but to take Yue Hongmei to see a Chinese doctor. The old doctor only found out from taking Yue Hongmei's pulse that she had stomach problems, severe malnutrition, poor sleep, and some symptoms of qi and blood deficiency. Based on these symptoms, he prescribed some medicine and asked her to go home and try taking it.
Dingxiang was forced to learn how to decoct Chinese medicine.
But Yue Hongmei's situation was somehow discovered by the neighbors. The neighbors had a good relationship with the landlord and went to tell the landlord that the resident in their yard might have some serious illness. The landlord was afraid that Yue Hongmei had a terminal illness and that she would die in her own house, so he came to drive her away.
Of course Ding Nianjun did not agree to cancel the lease.
Fortunately, when renting a house, she learned from Ding Guo’s experience and signed a compensation agreement with the landlord.
Of course the landlord didn't want to pay compensation, but he didn't dare to make a big deal about it.
In the end, he chose to take a step back and let Ding Nianjun continue to live in the house, but her mother had to move out.
This was like suppressing one problem but causing another. Yue Hongmei's illness had not yet been cured, and she was now facing the prospect of being evicted by her landlord. Ding Nianjun's small business of selling vegetables on the black market had just started to pick up, and he had just made some pocket money, but now he had to deal with this matter again. He was overwhelmed and had a complete breakdown.
Yue Hongmei also felt very sorry.
I just got divorced and ended up getting this disease with no known cause.
Not only did he fail to help Junjun, he also implicated her.
Yue Hongmei also broke down. The mother and daughter cried again and again, making Ding Xiang too embarrassed to ask Ding Nianjun for money for babysitting.
Ding Nianjun was under too much psychological pressure and could hardly bear it mentally, so he called Pan Dingfeng and asked him for advice.
Pan Dingfeng suggested that she talk to the landlord to see if she could buy the house.
He knew that Ding Nianjun had some money.
Although he suffered a loss last year, Ding Nianjun had saved all his salary from his previous job and also made some money from trading cloth with Lu Xiaomei, so the money he lost including the principal and interest from collecting watches did not hurt Ding Nianjun at all.
Ding Nianjun was also exhausted by all the things he had to deal with and had never thought about this.
Now that her husband has reminded her of this, she also thinks it’s a good idea to buy a house.
However, this meant that her early plan could not be carried out in the short term, and she had to start accumulating capital again.
But given her mother's current situation, the plan cannot be implemented even if she has money, so she might as well buy a house.
After returning from the post office, I counted the money I had and went to find the landlord.
The landlord had no intention of selling the house, but he had recently been troubled by Yue Hongmei. In order to get the family to move out without paying compensation, he actively helped to inquire, and actually found out that the family wanted to secretly sell the house.
The yard is not as big as his, but it is big enough for that family.
Ding Nianjun went over to negotiate and spent 500 yuan to buy the courtyard. After a simple cleanup, he terminated the lease with the landlord and moved in with Yue Hongmei.
Because the landlord had helped her a lot in finding an apartment, both parties compromised and no compensation was paid, but the landlord refunded her an extra 20 days' rent.
As soon as they moved out, the landlord wore a thick homemade cotton mask and fumigated the house with mugwort for three days with trepidation before he felt the house was "clean".
