Chapter 35 Good Brothers
Facing the entanglement of the original owner's two brothers, Ding Gui said calmly: "Okay, then we won't say anything. As the old saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much."
After saying this, he continued to spread lime.
This caused Ding Rong and Ding De to stare at each other in disbelief. Now even naked threats were useless.
Miscellaneous things?
Did Ding Gui take the wrong medicine?
At this moment, Miao Dayou from the village came in to help. He was the only good friend of the original owner Ding Gui in this village. Both of them had cowardly characters, and Miao Dayou was even worse than Ding Gui.
There was no conflict among brothers in his family, but they were poor. He was the only child in his parents' generation, and only children were the most bullied in the village.
After suffering a lot, the old couple of the Miao family gave their son a task: to have more children, so that the more children there are, the more blessings they will have. In the future, their Miao family will be able to turn things around.
But the more children you have, the poorer the family becomes.
This time, on the way to escape famine, Miao Dayou brought with him his elderly parents, his equally gentle daughter-in-law Bai, and six children, big and small. The oldest was only ten years old, and the youngest was still crying for food. Life was extremely hard.
At this time, he came to discuss something with Ding Gui.
However, seeing Ding Rong and Ding De were there, he didn't dare to say anything and just kept spreading lime.
Ding De was still fuming, so he said in a sarcastic tone, "You two are such a disgrace to Aozigou, you two have nothing in your crotch."
Hearing these words, Miao Dayou lowered his head. He was running around working and being ordered around by everyone. His forehead was covered in sweat, but he didn't dare to say a word to Ding De.
It was at this time that Ding Gui dug out the memory of the person in front of him.
Well!
It turns out that he was a good friend of the original owner.
Alas, if you want to blame someone, blame his memory for not being able to accept it all at once. Only after he met the other person and tried to think about it himself, could he remember the relationship between the original owner and the other person.
Thinking of this, Ding Gui felt a little guilty. He didn't know that he and Miao Dayou had such a good relationship, otherwise he would have sent some food to his house last night.
It is impossible to deliver food at the moment, but facing the unfriendly attitude of some people, he can still help.
Thinking of this, Ding Gui stood up...
"Agui, it's done, let's go!"
Fearing that he would quarrel with Ding De, Miao Dayou hurriedly pulled his sleeve. He just wanted to take Ding Gui away from all the trouble.
This made Ding Gui feel uncomfortable.
As he followed Miao Dayou out, he saw the smug smiles on Ding De and Ding Rong's faces, and finally couldn't help but turn around and point at them:
"Be careful, you'll suffer the consequences. If you two curse Dayou again, I'll fight you to the death."
After saying this, he turned and left
“…”
Ding Rong and Ding Dece froze in place again, and only looked at each other after a while. Damn, Ding Gui was really crazy. Did those words just come out of his mouth?
Ding De was so angry that he wanted to rush out and fight him, but Ding De quickly grabbed him and said gloomily, "Use your brain. We don't know how long Mr. Lu will let us stay in town. If we brothers quarrel, it will only benefit others. We have to endure it for now, because when the time is right, we will have to use the third brother as a brother."
"Okay, I'll listen to you this time." Ding De clenched his fists. He would tolerate what happened today for the time being.
Here, Ding Gui and Miao Dayou came to a corner of the street.
Miao Dayou was very worried: "Why did you want to provoke your brother? You know their temper. Just let them scold you if they want to. This way, they won't come to pick a fight with you later."
"No, Dayou, listen to me. If they dare to bully you again, you have to be ruthless. As long as you are ruthless, they will naturally be afraid."
Ding Gui spoke indignantly, and the blue veins on his forehead were exposed because of his anger.
But Miao Dayou was in stark contrast to him. He squatted on the ground with his head drooped. "Forget it. I don't dare to mess with either of them. I just want to raise the kids. Besides, there are some bad people in the Miao family too. I have to put up with them anyway."
In fact, not only are all the people in Aozigou surnamed Ding, but half of them are surnamed Miao.
According to the older generation, Ding and Miao were two villages that were enemies with each other, and the two surnames had been holding a grudge for decades.
One day, a county magistrate came and in order to stop them from fighting, he merged the two villages into one Aozi Village.
In this way, two big surnames in one village coexisted for hundreds of years.
On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but once the topic of dividing the houses and measuring the land comes up, someone will stand up and say something like it's unfair to the Miao family, it's unfair to the Ding family, and so on.
At this time, after being reminded by Miao Dayou, Ding Gui remembered that Miao Dayou was often bullied by his cousins among the Miao family.
It is true that everyone has their own suffering, and it is impossible to describe it all in a short time.
Ding Gui sighed with emotion, and then made up his mind: "You wait here, I'll be back soon."
Miao Dayou nodded awkwardly.
The purpose of his visit to Ding Gui was to borrow some food from him.
In fact, he also knew that Ding Gui's life was not easy, but if he didn't speak up shamelessly now, two of the children in his family might not be able to survive.
I wanted to speak up, but I was afraid that Ding Gui would be embarrassed.
But seeing Ding Gui turned around and left as soon as he said he was leaving, Miao Dayou squatted there in a depressed mood, letting the scorching sun burn on his head.
He really hoped that this exposure would allow him to come up with a good idea.
The Lu family came to distribute food in the morning. Although there was porridge and steamed buns, the children had been hungry for several days. That little bit of food was not enough. They finished it in just a few bites. Not only that, they even licked the bowls clean.
Ding Gui came in a little while later and took out a two-pound bag of millet from his clothes: "Take it back quickly and ask your wife to make some for the children."
"Agui, this..."
They clearly didn't have any hopes, but they still brought so much. Miao Dayou was so excited that his eyes were red: "You gave it all to us, so what are you going to do with it?"
Guilt, shame, all these emotions made him want to kill himself.
Ding Gui patted his shoulder cheerfully: "Don't worry, I have more at home. Don't let anyone see it. Send it back first and then come back to work."
"Really?" Miao Dayou was still worried.
"Of course it's true, go ahead!"
At this point, Miao Dayou had no choice but to nod, hide the food in his sleeves, and run away.
But as soon as he left, Wang Dafeng, who felt something was wrong, chased after him.
The old woman was originally lying in bed and taking a nap, but then she heard some noise in the kitchen downstairs.
The little millet they had was hidden in the kitchen. She was worried that some villagers had bad intentions, so she quickly got up and chased after them, but saw her son Ding Gui running away stealthily with something in his hand.
Wang Dafeng quickly went to the kitchen to check. Oh my god, the bag of millet in the pit under the millstone was gone!
So he hurriedly chased after Ding Gui to ask him clearly.
