Chapter 32 Invitation and Provocation
Since Ding Page is in charge of the financial power of the Ding family, Ding Rou has lost her income, so she can no longer go to the jewelry store from time to time to pick some beautiful jewelry and help her add some dowry.
She has developed a habit for so many years. It's a pity that now she is flat and powerless.
After Ding Bianzi sells tofu now, she will give her some money according to her labor situation.
It's just that she has just started to do things. There are few things she can do, and the money she gets is naturally not much. Generally, she can have about 200 cents a day.
When Ding Yizi was not at home at this time, Ding Rou tied up the door of the West House from the inside and took out her own purse from the cabinet again.
After holding the flat purse in her hand, Ding Rou couldn't help sighing. This little money was not as much as the previous day. Although the family's business is not as easy as before, if the financial power is still in her hands, it will not be so little.
She can't help complaining about the page. Isn't it good to do things well? If you want to compare with her, you have to make her happy. What a disgusting person!
The left hand is carrying the purse, and the right hand slowly spreads out in front of the front. The tender skin of the fingers and abdomen has become slightly rough. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it will make cocoons.
Thinking that that kind of annoying thing would appear in her hands, Ding Rou was not angry.
If this is seen by her little sisters, how will she speak in front of them in the future? I'm afraid they will look down on her. It's unknown whether they will have anything to do with her in the future.
She has rejected several invitations this month. In the past, every once in a while, girls of about the same age would get together to play. Sometimes we go out for an outing together, sometimes we go out to the market together, sometimes we go to the jewelry store to buy some beautiful jewelry, and sometimes we get together to talk about our own situation. Most of the time, we discuss what we have bought new.
In the past, Ding Rou's favorite thing was to get together with them, and then show off what rare and beautiful jewelry she bought. Every time she saw the envious eyes of others, Ding Rou's vanity would be greatly satisfied, which also made her a little more happy about the yellow and white things of money.
But she has now become a poor man and can no longer show off in front of others. If she goes to the party, I'm afraid that the person who is stimulated in the end will become her, and she will become the laughing stock of so many people.
They must all laugh at her!
Ding Rou clenched her purse and couldn't help clenching her hand. Thinking of what might happen if she went to the party, her throat was full of bitterness and she felt very uncomfortable.
She didn't think about whether she should do those things or not. All she knew was that Ding Page deprived her of her power! It made her completely unable to raise her head in front of people.
After saving for so many days, there is less than one tael of silver in the purse, which is not enough to buy a better hairpin.
"Alas... what can this money do?" Ding Rou was in a low mood, and she couldn't help leaning down and sitting on the edge of the bed.
I haven't seen the envious eyes of others for a long time, and I haven't heard the sour words of others. Ding Rou felt empty in her heart, as if she was missing a piece of uncomfortable. Holding a flat purse, her heart was itchy. It seemed that a voice kept saying in her ear: Hurry up and buy new jewelry, and quickly go to show off in front of others.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, and Ding's mother's soft voice came, "Rou'er, are you in the room? Xiaoyun is looking for you.
Ding Rou hurriedly hid her purse, straightened her clothes, and then opened the door.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Ding Rou frowned and complained about Ding's mother. Her mother suddenly knocked on the door, which made her think that her sister was back and was shocked.
For Ding Rou's disrespectful attitude, Ding's mother has long been used to it and doesn't care about it. She still said with a smile, "It's Xiaoyun who came to play with you. Didn't I come to tell you?"
Ding Rou walked out of the door and looked at the shop. Sure enough, she saw Yang Yun standing in the shop, waving to her happily.
Yang Yun and she are about the same age. She is also 14 years old this year, and her family sells cloth. Because it is small, it sells some worthless fabrics, which can be regarded as the consumption level of ordinary people. Although the business of the Yang family is not big, it is reasonable, similar to the previous Ding family.
Now that the Ding family's business is not so good, Yang Yun has a faint posture of riding on her head.
After all, in the past, the income of the Ding family was in Ding Rou's hands. She could buy whatever she wanted, but Yang Yun was different. She was just a girl in the Yang family. Her parents only gave her little money every time, and the rest was saved by herself for her brother to marry her daughter-in-law in the future.
So although the situation of the two families is similar, because Ding Rou has more living money, in most cases, Yang Yun looks at her face and is her follower.
But now she can't even compare with Yang Yun.
It's okay if she has been poor all the time. Look at Yang Yun, she is used to it now. She has never thought of asking her parents to be in charge of the housekeeper's property. And what about her? The belongings at home have always been in her hands, and now they are gone. How can she get used to it?
Ding Rou stood at the door and took several deep breaths before forcing herself to walk to the shop.
"Xiao Yun, why are you free to come to me today?" Ding Rou barely squeezed out a smile on her face and greeted Yang Yun.
Yang Yun hugged Ding Rou's arm very intimately and said with a smile, "rou er, you haven't gone out with me for a long time. A few days ago, Xiaoqian and I went to the jewelry shop again and found that there were a lot of new beautiful jewelry there. Do you want to go and have a look?
Usually, Yang Yun's economy is also relatively difficult, so he can only go to the jewelry store with those people.
But she also has a habit. When she has saved enough money around her, she will pull Ding Rou to buy a new jewelry with her, so that she will show off at the next party.
I heard that the jewelry shop has bought new jewelry. Ding Rou felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching. She couldn't wait to fly over and have a look now.
But when she thought of the flat purse, her fiery enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished.
I don't have money. What are you going to do?
Ding Rou shook her head to Yang Yun rarely and said, "No, if you have any favorite jewelry, you can buy it yourself. I don't want to go out now. I'm so tired that I just want to rest at home.
Compared with Ding Rou's beautiful appearance, Yang Yun looks a little ordinary, with a long face, almond eyes and a small nose, but a slightly big mouth, otherwise she is also a very beautiful girl.
Yang Yun held Ding Rou's arm and swayed. In her opinion, Ding Rou is the favorite little sister she knows to go to the jewelry store. Even if she doesn't have enough money in her pocket, she will go to the jewelry shop to see if there is any jewelry she likes. After you have saved enough money around you, you will reach out and take it decisively!
She persuaded in a delicate voice, "Jooer, so Rouer, haven't you always liked to go to the jewelry store? Can you go and have a look with me? It's really boring for me to go alone.
Where doesn't Ding Rou want to go? In fact, there are thousands of people who want to go. But now she is flat, and it is not as easy to get money as before. She really doesn't have the confidence to go to the jewelry store, for fear that she will suffer a great blow when she goes there! Then she might as well die.
Ding Rou shook her head affirmatively, with a straight face, pulled away Yang Yun's arm in her arms, frowned and said to her in a low voice, "Yang Yun, I told you, I don't want to go. If you want to go, just go by yourself. I didn't stop you."
Yang Yun is also a fuel-efficient master. How can she see Ding Rou's face? In the past, Ding Rou had a lot of money around her, so she had to look at her face. But she heard that the money of the Ding family is now in the hands of Ding Page. At the beginning, she still didn't believe it. With Ding Rou's nature, how could she be willing to take the fat meat she got to her sister? But now looking at Ding Rou's attitude, it seems that there is really such a thing?
Yang Yun asked tentatively, "Jooer, isn't your money really taken by your sister, so you don't have any money to buy new jewelry at all now?"
Ding Rou immediately turned into a fried cat and jumped and said, "Yang Yun, where did you hear such nonsense? Who said that Ding Rou has no money around me now? Let me tell you, there is a lot of silver around me. I just don't want to buy new jewelry.
Yang Yun turned his eyes and deliberately made a provocative posture. He curled his lips and said, "Really? That's really strange, Rou'er. When did you change your character? In the past, among us, you liked to buy new jewelry most. Why did you suddenly not like to go to jewelry shops? In fact, it's no wonder that people outside say so. Think about what you used to look like, and then look at what you look like now. It's normal for others to think so. Even I almost believed it."
Ding Rou's eyes widened, grabbed Yang Yun's sleeve and asked in a hurry, "What did I say outside?"
Yang Yun curled his lips and said, "It's just that I haven't seen you go to the jewelry shop for a long time. They all say that your Ding family's money is now taken by your sister, and you don't have any spare money at all. He also said that if you want to help your sister do things, your sister will give you food. It's just like taking you as a maid!"
As he spoke, Yang Yun subconsciously looked Ding Rou up and down, but he found that there was something wrong with Ding Rou's expression, and he knew in his heart that what she had just said was true.
Ding Rou is a face-to-face person. Yang Yun has always dared not talk nonsense in front of her. Now even she can say so much. You can imagine what those people say about her.
"It's done! I'll go to the jewelry store with you! Who said that Ding Rou had no money? I can still afford to buy good things!"
