Chapter 45 The Heart is Still So Dirty
Everyone was still immersed in confusion, and suddenly they heard Ding Gui stand up and shout like this, and they were all shocked.
Crazy, crazy! Ding Gui, who usually can't even get a cold fart with three punches in the village, has been jumping up and down recently. It's really different with the old woman supporting him. But there are also people who secretly admire Ding Gui in their hearts.
If this happened to someone else, it might be taken for granted, but when it happened to Ding Gui, it was simply out of control.
Although everyone had different ideas at this time, no one really stood up to support it.
"Agui, count me in. To protect my family, I'm willing to risk it all!"
Miao Dayou looked around and saw no one responded, so he stood up, his eyes wide open, and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. Good brothers should advance and retreat together.
Ding Gui suddenly felt warm in his chest. He was indeed a good brother.
Everyone was shocked again: "..."
The two most cowardly men in the village seemed to have suddenly become full of courage.
Village Chief Lai Fu was so moved that he almost cried. He said with a choked voice, "See? Any man has to stand up to protect his family. Mr. Ding Gui, count me in."
"And us." Dabao and Erbao both stood up.
Others were still hesitating, thinking that they were going to war, not just farming.
Unexpectedly, no one showed up to sign up when the meeting was about to end. Village chief Lai Fu was very disappointed and had to issue a strict order: "Every family that wants to stay must send one able-bodied male. I won't stop anyone who wants to leave. If anything happens along the way, it's up to fate. You can handle it yourself."
Seeing that the villagers of Aozigou had such low awareness, Ding Xiaodie was very disappointed.
She thought that after her father stood up, the villagers would be as excited as they were last time when they said they were going to the Lu family to rescue the village chief, but the result was that everyone was so indifferent and turned a blind eye.
Lai Fu was finally driven to desperation, and he raised his neck and cursed, "Women and children, go back to the house, and all the men, stay here. I want to see which bastard doesn't want to protect his family."
The words were so harsh that the men had no choice but to gather in front of Lai Fu with their heads down, waiting for him to speak.
The other family members returned to the house worriedly.
It wasn't until they entered the house and sat down that Wang Dafeng let out a long sigh, as if her soul had returned to its place. Then she grabbed Zhang Xiu's wrist and said, "Third wife, let's... let's go! The third brother is not cut out for fighting. If anything happens to him, who will the three of us rely on?"
"Mom, if we leave the village team, the journey will be even more unsafe. I think we should wait until the baby's father comes back!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly comforted the old woman.
However, just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Ding Xiaodie, who was standing at the door, saw two things happening on the street.
First, some men took the initiative to step forward and sign up with the village chief to participate in the action; second, some people have already started preparing to run away!
Leading the group were several Miao families, and the ones she was most familiar with were her eldest uncle and second uncle's families.
In their view, they used to follow the village team in order to seek a sense of security from mutual support, but now they are leaving the team in order to save their own lives.
In Ding Rong's words: While Ding Gui and those fools are off resisting the foreign enemies, we should hurry up and leave. This is God giving us a way to survive.
Ding Xiaodie squinted her eyes and roughly counted them. There were no less than ten male members in these families alone.
The key point is that their departure shook the morale of the army. Deserting in the face of battle is a taboo, but there is nothing we can do about them.
She couldn't help but mutter, "The two uncles are so selfish..."
Before they could finish their words, they saw Zhu and Sun suddenly running towards their house at the same time.
Wang Dafeng, who was talking to Zhang Xiu, happened to hear Ding Xiaodie's muttering. Guessing that the two heartless sons might run away, she quickly stood up and wanted to go out to see what was going on.
But just as he was about to go out, Zhu and Sun arrived at the door.
The two men completely ignored the little guy sitting on the doorstep and walked straight in past Ding Xiaodie. The first thing they did when they saw Wang Dafeng was to kneel down, and the next thing was to howl, howl loudly.
"Mom, we're sorry. For the safety of our children, we have to leave!"
Wang Dafeng was stunned and couldn't say a word. She felt quite uncomfortable that her two daughters-in-law actually knew to say goodbye to her before leaving.
Who would have thought that I would hear them talking back and forth: "Mom, we have many children and it's hard to eat." "Yes, Mom, our family is not as good as big brother's!"
Wang Dafeng vaguely sensed something was wrong: "What on earth are you two trying to say?"
Zhu said quickly, "Mother, didn't the Lu family give Xiaodie some food at noon today? You see, it wasn't easy for us to escape all the way here. Can you give us some for the sake of the children?"
Sun said, "Mother, my family doesn't need much. Just a pumpkin and some bacon will do."
It turned out that they suddenly came to her house with such a fart. Wang Dafeng's triangular eyelids twitched. Okay, she was not used to seeing these two guys kneeling there just now, but now she is used to it.
The person is still the same person, and the heart is still the same dirty heart.
Wang Dafeng remained calm. "What? You're leaving? The journey was certainly not easy. The village chief just said that if we get killed by pursuers, no one can blame anyone else. It's just a pity for my children from the Ding family. Oh, and you want to take a portion of the food from the third family before you leave, right? Okay, come on, come here, and I'll tell you what I have to give you."
Sun and Zhu Sun were a little timid. They wanted the things but were not sure whether the old woman would give them to them.
They didn't even bother to look at the third daughter-in-law Zhang Xiu who was standing next to them, because in the end, the old woman had the final say in this family.
"Come on, come here!" Wang Dafeng waved her hand, walking forward as she spoke. Suddenly, she waved her hand and slapped each of them hard, cursing with gritted teeth: "Have you ever shared your food with Lao San's family? Where were you when Lao San's family of three, including an old woman like me, were starving to death? How dare you come here and ask for a share? Come on, come on, I won't let you go back empty-handed either. I'll give you a few more big slaps and pot stickers to see if you have enough to eat."
Zhu and Sun didn't expect the old woman to suddenly attack them. She started beating them as soon as she said she would. They screamed and quickly got up, covering their faces and running out of the house in embarrassment.
Ding Xiaodie saw it all and exchanged glances with her mother as if she knew what was going on.
Although the old woman is usually unreasonable, she can see things clearly when things come to a critical moment.
"Mom, don't be angry, sit down first." Zhang Xiu hurried forward and helped the old woman sit down on the chair.
Wang Dafeng was furious, her breathing quickening. She sat down and pounded her chest a few times, "Lao San's wife, hurry...go and call Lao San back."
