Chapter 79 Fake Generosity
Sure enough, seeing the Second Young Master actually smiling at her, Ding Mei's face cracked into a horrified smile: "Second Young Master, you are like this, I am embarrassed!"
Well!
Is she still embarrassed?
Not to mention Ding Xiaodie who was stunned, even Ding Xiang who was standing beside her looked at her sister in confusion.
Lu Xingluo, who didn't care about anything, was about to respond, but Ding Xiaodie quickly pushed him and said, "Hey, Second Young Master, hurry over there. Uncle Jiu seems to be calling you."
"Really?" Lu Xingluo turned his head and saw that Uncle Jiu was indeed looking in his direction. He said, "If that's the case, I'll go back first. When the village chief is done, tell him I was here."
"Okay, go ahead!"
"Second Young Master." Ding Mei hurriedly shouted and followed him: "When will you come to town again?"
Ah, this... In order to please the second young master, the country girl from the mountains actually started speaking Mandarin.
Ding Xiaodie was stunned: "..."
Fortunately, this time Lu Xingluo said nothing, turned around and left, got on his horse, and left without even looking back.
"snort!"
Having never met such a heartless person, Ding Mei stomped her foot coquettishly. When she turned around and walked to Ding Xiaodie, she had regained her tigress demeanor: "Ding Xiaodie, what are you thinking?"
He raised his hand to hit someone as soon as he spoke.
Ding Xiaodie felt her eyes flash before her eyes. She didn't know if it was because Ding Mei was facing the sun, but she seemed to see that Ding Mei, who was much taller than her, looked like Ruhua.
laugh!
She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ah, you're still laughing at me." This time, Ding Mei's hand hit down without hesitation.
"What?"
When adults are talking about serious matters, there are always a few little kids who like to do nothing. Although Erbao is already a young boy, he is one of them.
As soon as he came out, he saw Ding Mei about to hit someone, and he quickly stepped forward to block her hand: "Why are you hitting someone?"
Ding Mei was blocked by his strong arm, which made her arm numb and painful. She felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes: "You all helped her, you are not good people, humph!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Erbao was confused: "..."
When has he not been a good person? Wasn't he doing a good deed just now? But there's no need to think too much about these things. The key is: "Xiao Die, are you okay?"
"fine."
Ding Xiaodie shook her head, her eyes curved with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Erbao."
That was so thrilling just now. If Erbao hadn't come out, she would probably have used the police's special techniques to capture the enemy in a hurry. Wouldn't she have been exposed then?
Erbao shook his hands embarrassedly to indicate that he was fine.
…
There was still an argument in the courtyard of Village Chief Lai Fu about whether to give more water to Miao Wang's family. Almost all the villagers were against it, but Miao Wang's mother was not pretending at all.
She gave birth to a whole bunch of wolf cubs in one go, and when it was her turn to drink, there was no water left!
She was crying the loudest at this moment. It was probably not just that she just wanted water, but she was feeling upset.
Amidst the quarrel, Ding Gui and his wife stood up and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. We are willing to give half of our water to Miao Wang's family."
What?
Are there still people who are so generous even though they are poor these days?
The whole village was stunned: "..."
The crowded yard fell silent in an instant, with countless pairs of eyes staring at the couple as if they were monsters. Wang Dafeng rushed out and broke the silence, "Third brother, you two are crazy. This is such good water, you can give it to me just by saying so. No, I don't agree. I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you."
Why?
When their whole family was about to starve to death, who sympathized with them? Why are they asked to stand up at this time?
Seeing the old woman tearing the couple apart, the Ding Rong and Ding De families were very happy.
Look at this Ding Lao San. He just stood up straight and acted like a nobody. He even gave water to others. He is a total spendthrift!
Ding Gui helplessly blocked the old woman's hand and said, "Mom, listen to me."
Wang Dafeng: "I won't listen, I just can't give it to you."
"We're only giving half." Zhang Xiu hurriedly explained. Actually, they didn't lack water, but if they gave it all, it would arouse suspicion. He didn't expect the old woman to react so strongly.
It would be fine if she didn't say anything, but if the daughter-in-law speaks up, the mother-in-law will rarely blame the daughter-in-law.
The old woman turned around and hit her with the dog-beating stick in her hand. Fortunately, Yang and Bai were both there, and they held the old woman down together.
At this time, Ding Gui also got angry. He said that anything is fine, but you can't bully my wife. He bent down and picked up the old woman on his back, throwing down a sentence.
"Village chief, half of my family's water will be given to Miao Wang's family."
After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the door quickly, carrying the fragrant-mouthed Wang Dafeng on his back...
At this time, Ding Xiaodie walked to the gate of the yard holding Ding Xiang's little hand, and saw her father rushing out carrying the old woman on his back.
The old woman cursed, and my father smiled and said, "Bao'er, it's okay."
The villagers in the yard all stared at the mother and son as they walked away.
Ding Xiaodie was silent o(╥﹏╥)o
She probably understood what was going on from the old woman's curses.
Zhang Xiu in the courtyard was now even more resolute, saying, "Village Chief, continue distributing the water. Just as the child's father said, give half of our share to Miao Wang's family. It's getting late, so let's not argue about this anymore."
Now that things have come to this, Lai Fu didn't know what to say anymore, but he was deeply touched by the other person's broad mind.
Soon, every household was given the clear and sweet 'spring water', and everyone had a happy smile on their face. The whole family took a sip, and felt infinitely satisfied.
But this little water is not enough!
So everyone thought, let’s wait until tomorrow, maybe we can divide the water again tomorrow!
After the water was collected, the next thing to discuss was the burial of Miao Wang's father.
The villagers of Aozigou are not locals, so naturally they don’t even have a burial site. Moreover, Miao Wang’s mother said that when she returns to Aozigou after the disaster, she will bring her father’s body back with her. We farmers believe in returning to our roots.
But these are all later stories. Burial is a big deal right now. Lai Fu has to go to the Lu family to discuss with the second young master to see where they are qualified to be buried.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingluo had never encountered such a thing. When his father left, he told him how to guard the house, but did not mention that there would be any emergencies.
The only thing we can do now is to move Uncle Jiu out.
The old man gave an idea: "There is a flat area at the foot of Dayun Mountain. It's not farmland and it doesn't belong to the Lu family. You can bury it there. When you return home, there will be no problem digging up the grave."
Lu Xingluo thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Jiu, if that's the case, you can send someone to prepare some white cloth mourning couplets and a thin coffin to send to the Miao family. It's also a small token of our Lu family's appreciation."
