Chapter 22 Dowry Self-earning

Ding Buizi and Ding Rou rushed to Ding's house and hurriedly dodged Gao Chentian, as if they were fleeing from some flood and beast.

When Gao Chentian saw the figure of Ding Page, who was far away, there was a burst of melancholy in his heart. For a long time, he was sad, as if he saw Ding Pagezi leaving his life like this.

He looked around, but saw that there were still some long-tongued women who looked at the distant backs of the Ding page sisters, and their mouths were still saying some unpleasant words, as if the Ding family had a deep hatred with them.

People's words are terrible! People's words are fiercer than tigers!

Gao Chentian lowered his head secretly. It was his carelessness. No wonder Ding Page is so afraid now. Although the two of them have been married, they have not yet been married. It is really ugly to pull and talk like this in front of people.

Gao Chentian secretly cares about himself. It seems that if he wants to help the page next time, he'd better tell her in advance and let her have a preparation. Or directly ask him to help them go out to buy beans, so that they don't have to show up and hear these gossip.

These annoying long-tongued women!

Gao Chentian glanced at them fiercely, shook his sleeves and strode away.

However, it is said that the two Ding page sisters went to buy beans, but Ding's mother was a little restless at home. She was not worried about what would happen to the two sisters on the road. She just thought that Rou'er and the page were a little stubborn. If they didn't agree and quarreled, what should they do?

But what she didn't expect was that she heard the knock on the door outside the door, and then hurried to open the door. However, she saw the Ding page sisters holding hands, one of them carrying some soybeans in their hands, and came back in harmony.

Ding's mother widened her eyes and looked at the two people in disbelief. She even forgot to turn around and let them enter the room.

Ding Rou followed her mother's eyes and looked at it. The original hand was still on Ding's arm. She quickly shook it away with disgust, and hummed to Ding's mother sullenly, "Mom, what are you doing? Get out of the way and let me in."

Ding's mother made one command and one action, and hurriedly turned around, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

Hey... This is her softer.

Ding Rou pouted with an unhappy face, stepped into the house, threw the bamboo basket on her elbows on the ground in the shop, and went straight to the backyard. As he walked, the hand that did not carry the basket could not help massaging the soreness of the other hand.

It's the first time for her to do this kind of hard work, and it's normal for her arm to be sore.

The shop that Ding Page entered also threw the cloth bag on his back on the ground. He reached out and pressed his shoulder. After all, it is also a cloth bag weighing more than 20 catties. Although she is used to hard work, she is also tired of such a long-term journey, and her shoulders can't help feeling a little soreness.

If it hadn't been for Ding Rou's sake of giving Ding Rou such a lesson, she wouldn't have been willing to save more than a dozen copper coins. She would have carried these beans back exhaustedly and handed them directly to Lao Liu to pick them up. Anyway, it was just two or three yuan of tofu.

Ding's mother looked at the yard and didn't see Ding Rou's figure. She expected that she had entered the room, so she came to Ding's side and asked in a low voice, "Page, I really didn't expect that you had that ability. Now let Rou'er listen to you."

Ding Xiaozi curled his lips and asked her mother, "Mom, are you happy to help me, or are you not happy that she is so tired?"

She wants to try Ding's mother's heart. After this matter, she is still biased.

Ding's mother glanced at Ding's page and roughly guessed what she meant. Hey hey, she smiled strangely and said happily, "Page, look at what you said. Of course, I hope Rou'er can help you do more. In the past, you did most of the affairs at home, and my mother also knew that I didn't deserve to treat you. It's also strange that the mother doesn't have the ability. She can't let Rouer be obedient and help you. Fortunately, now you have a way to make Rouer obedient. This is also because of her good. Of course, my mother has no problem.

Ding Page then laughed, "It's good that my mother understands. If Rou'er can't eat like this, once she marries her husband's family, the person who suffers from losses will still be her."

Ding's mother, as an experienced person, is deeply convinced.

Since Ding Rou helped bring the beans back, of course, she would not deduct her for dinner, and the family also used the dinner calmly.

After dinner, while cleaning up the table, Ding Yizi glanced at Ding Rou and said softly, "rouer, when I get up tomorrow, I will also call you to get up and grind the beans together, okay?"

Ding Rou stared at Ding's page with dissatisfaction, was silent for a while, and reluctantly asked, "If the tofu is made, can I have my money?"

Ding Yizi knew that Ding Rou cared about this. At that moment, he said loudly, "As long as you do the work, this tofu will be sold out. Of course you have your money."

Ding Rou glanced at Ding's page in disbelief, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Really? How much is that?"

Ding Page hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and laughed, "Of course, this depends on how much work you do. No, I've said a price now. If you don't push hard tomorrow, won't I give you the money for nothing? So if you do more work and strength tomorrow, of course I won't give you less points. Don't worry, we still have my mother here. Even if I want to cheat you, my mother won't be happy.

Ding Yizi turned to Ding's mother sitting aside and asked, "Mom, don't you think so?"

Ding's mother looked righteous and said seriously, "Of course. In the future, whoever does more in our family will take more money; whoever doesn't do anything, he won't even have to eat!"

Ding Rou saw that her mother, who had always helped her, now didn't care about her. She suddenly lost her strength and secretly said that the darkest days in her life had come.

With a slow long sigh, Ding Rou nodded sadly and said feebly, "Well, call me when you get up tomorrow, and I'll help you do things in the future."

Ding Yizi nodded with approval, "That's right. If you want to have a rich dowry, you have to earn some by yourself. I don't care about the previous ones. You keep it for yourself. But in the future, if you want to save the dowry, you have to do things by yourself.

Thinking of the sad life in the future, Ding Rou was not in the mood to talk to Ding Page here, and slowly returned to the Westinghouse **. Since she has to get up early tomorrow, it's better for her to go to bed early now, so as not to lack sleep and lose color.

At about four o'clock in the morning the next day, Ding Yizi suddenly opened her eyes at the call of the biological clock. First, she glanced at the sky outside the window. For more than a month, she was used to guessing the general time by looking at the sky outside.

Knowing that it's time now, Ding Page quickly got up, pushed Ding Rou at the other end, and raised his voice and said, "Mr. It's time to get up!"

Ding Rou slept soundly, and Ding Page called her several times. Then Ding Rou slowly opened her eyes and muttered reluctantly. She was about to lift Ding Page's hand and continue to sleep.

Ding Page's cold voice pierced her ear.

"Ding Rou, if you still want to live a good life and save your dowry, you'd better get up now!"

These two sentences touched Ding Rou's weakness. Now no matter how unwilling she is, she can't continue to say it. What's more, she has agreed with Ding Bianzi yesterday that as long as she does things, Ding Bianzi will share the money with her, otherwise she will not only have no money to make money, but also have to take her own money to make a living. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that her dowry will be eaten up by herself.

Ding Rou sighed secretly and had no choice but to get up and dress.

She fought for the dowry!

Ding Xiaozi saw that Ding Rou had risen, and his heart was happy, and there was a smile on his face. Ding Rou accidentally saw her look, stared at her angrily, and went out to wash up angrily.

Ding's page doesn't care what she thinks of herself. Anyway, she firmly believes that she is doing the right thing!

The two sisters went to the workshop together. Ding Bingzi pointed to the soaked beans and ordered, "Rouer, last time I taught you how to scoop the beans into the grinding disc. As for how to push the grinding disc, I don't need to tell you in detail, just push it hard. However, I have to explain to you today that this bean scoop is a labor-saving job, and the price is naturally not as high as the grinding disc. Think about it yourself and what you are willing to do.

Ding Rou flattened her mouth and asked unhappily, "Isn't it all about scooping beans and pushing the grinding disc?" Why is the price different?

Ding Page raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you push the grinding disc? I'll give you the same price as scooping beans!"

Of course, Ding Rou knows the difference. Just looking at the size of the grinding disc, she knows that it must be extremely difficult to push. She is not a fool. How can she choose to push the grinding disc at the same price?

Ding Rou continued to flatten her mouth, "What's the difference between the grinding disc and the price of the bean scoop?"

Ding Page pulled his finger and said to Ding Rou, "I don't tell you what the price is. I just calculate that this tofu is divided into several processes. First of all, it is one to go to the grocery store to buy beans. The second is to soak beans. The third is to grind beans. The fourth is to boil soy milk and filter soybean milk. The fifth is to order soy milk and pressed tofu. The sixth is to sell tofu. In this way, after these six steps, the bean can be exchanged for money, and our family can also have money to make a living. I won't say much. How much money will be sold at that time? We will share it according to these steps. If you participate more, of course I will give you more.

Ding Rou nodded with understanding. Now that she listened to Ding's page in such detail, she suddenly found that there were so many steps to make tofu. In the past, because she didn't know how to make tofu, she never set foot in the workshop, so she didn't know what steps to take to make tofu.

Now she thinks about it, making tofu seems to be a simple job, but what will she do? It seems that she is going to become a hard-worker now.
