Chapter 61: Rogue
Zhu was married into the old Ding family from a similarly small family. There were two things she was most proud of in her life: one was that she could persuade Ding Rong to do what she said, and the other was that she had children.
In rural areas, a family with both sons and daughters is considered prestigious. What's more, she has two sons and her daughter Ding Xue is pretty. This is also what she is most proud of.
Looking at Sun again, what qualifications does she have to make fun of herself?
After spitting, Zhu started cursing, "Who do you think you are? You can't even give birth to a penis, and you still have the nerve to make fun of me. Your daughter is not as pretty as a moldy potato. How could Young Master Lu fall in love with her? Unless God is blind."
"mother!!"
Ding Mei was stunned. Her aunt actually said that she looked like mold and potatoes. This was too ugly!
Sun was so choked that she couldn't say a word. Her face flushed red and her eyes were glaring. Compared to saying that her daughter was ugly, saying that she couldn't even give birth to a boy was even more unpleasant. You have to know that this was a pain in her and Ding De's hearts.
Who doesn’t want to have a son at home? Who doesn’t want to have both a son and a daughter?
"Mom." Dingxiang hurried forward and grabbed her mother's sleeve, fearing that they would fight.
Before Ding De could react, Zhu was already looking at him and his wife, sneering and walking forward.
"This woman..." Ding De finally managed to utter a word.
"Get out of my way." Sun was so angry that she shook off Dingxiang's hand and rushed over to pull Zhu.
Ding De quickly stepped forward and pulled her back: "Are you stupid? Have you forgotten what we usually say at home?"
"But she..."
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
It would be a lie to say that they were not angry about this, but Ding De and Sun had set a bottom line when they discussed countermeasures at home. No matter how the fight with the eldest brother's family went, they could only use words and never win. Why?
Not to mention that the eldest brother Ding Rong is still in his prime, look at his sixteen-year-old son Ding Shan, who has the unusual character of being born barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. He has the strength of an ox but nowhere to use it.
As the second uncle, he probably couldn't beat that stupid boy at all, let alone his father.
Therefore, once the action is taken, the second brother's family only has two daughters and one woman, and in the end, it will be their family that will suffer, and it is destined to be their family.
Just because of this... violence must never happen.
But she didn't take action. The anger in her heart made Sun very angry all day long, and she kept scolding Dingxiang.
…
The work in the sweet potato field is almost done!
The villagers returned to the town one after another with their own sweet potatoes. As for Ding Xiaodie's sweet potatoes, because of the order from the eldest young master, the guards sent the sweet potatoes from Ding Rong and Ding De's families to her home together.
Wang Dafeng's eyes widened. Ever since her two sons got married, she, as a mother, had never had the opportunity to get her hands on their property.
Now that there were two baskets of sweet potatoes in front of her, she finally had the opportunity to deal with the two daughters-in-law.
Well, the three members of Ding Gui's family saw through the old woman's cunning mind at a glance, so they simply did her a favor and said, "Mom, the sweet potatoes from my eldest and second brothers' homes are now in your hands. You can do whatever you want with them!"
"Don't worry, son. I will take care of everything for you." Wang Dafeng was so excited that she just rubbed her hands.
Not long after, the two Ding brothers came to the door after hearing that their sweet potatoes had been shipped back.
"Mom, let's get today's sweet potatoes."
"Mom, please make sure you distinguish the number of sweet potatoes between our two families."
Since fleeing the famine, we haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. At this time, if we can cook a few sweet potatoes to eat, it would be almost like eating meat. Some families take them home, wipe them with mud and start cooking.
Now the women and children at home are looking forward to it!
Seeing the situation in the first and second wives, Zhang Xiu directly pulled Ding Xiaodie to the back kitchen. It was almost time, and she also wanted to start cooking.
As for Ding Gui, Zhang Xiu asked him to start the fire.
The family of three went to the kitchen, giving Wang Dafeng a lot of room to play.
The old woman was not in a hurry. She moved a chair and sat between the two baskets of sweet potatoes, holding a stick in her hand, looking majestic.
"I heard that just now in the field, you two wanted to beat up the third brother?"
"No, mother, it was the third brother who started cursing first."
"Mom, can you be fair? We didn't even meet the third brother."
Ding Rong and Ding De were so angry when they saw the old woman like this that they just glared at her. It was obvious that she was making things difficult for them. They really wanted to rush forward and snatch the sweet potatoes away, but when they thought about what the eldest young master of the Lu family had said, they didn't dare to use force.
Wang Dafeng narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, very good. If you don't tell the truth today, forget counting the sweet potatoes. Come back tomorrow!"
If I don’t count the sweet potatoes and leave them until tomorrow, what if the third brother’s family secretly takes a few away?
If you want to count, do it now. The guard who delivered the sweet potatoes has just left, so you won’t suffer any loss.
However, the two brothers were not the type to give in easily, so they brought up their children.
"Mom, we don't have any conflicts with the Third Brother. We were just arguing in the fields. Considering Ding Jie is so hungry, please count the food for us and let us take it back!"
"Yeah, Dingxiang and Dingmei are hungry too!"
Seeing the two brothers looking like scoundrels, Wang Dafeng clicked her tongue and said, "Now you know how to use the children to make things worse. Why did you think so much when you beat up your brother?"
"No, mother, we really didn't fight."
"I didn't even touch him."
"If Xiaodie and Guardian Geng hadn't been here, you would have fought." Wang Dafeng was furious. "You two bastards are not young anymore, but you don't think twice. We are fleeing famine, not when we were still in the village. When we are away from home, family members should take care of each other. The third brother is your brother. Not only do you not help each other at this time, you also want to fight in front of the whole village. You are really two brainless things."
"Mom, can't we just admit that we were wrong? You count the sweet potatoes first. I promise that I will never fight with the third brother again." Ding De immediately raised his hand and swore.
Ding Rong just said that casually, but in his heart, he didn't take the old woman's words seriously at all. He thought it was a dream to ask them to help the third family.
It's just for the sake of the sweet potatoes.
How could Wang Dafeng not see it, but for the sake of her grandchildren, she could only sigh, shake her head, and help them count the sweet potatoes.
As a result, there were thirty-eight people of all ages in the eldest family, and there were a little more in the second family, forty.
But the sweet potatoes were of different sizes, and both of them were so petty that they were afraid that they would be swapped, so they picked up each sweet potato and bit it, leaving a tooth mark that only they understood.
