Chapter 93 The Follow-up of Gossip

Although most people will only gossip from afar and will not go to the Ding family to ask what's going on, a small number of people also exist.

Zhang Wu's pancake shop is next door to Ding's tofu shop. The two families have been neighbors for many years. When Aunt Zhang and Ding's mother are free, they both like to visit each other, gossip, do needlework and so on, so the friendship between the two is quite good.

In the scene of Shen Hansong's trouble that day, Aunt Zhang was completely in sight. She was also worried about the Ding family, but her own family was also a small family, and she could not afford to offend a big Buddha like Shen Hansong. Therefore, although Zhang Wu repeatedly waved the shovel with pancakes and wanted to help the Ding family, he was killed by Aunt Zhang. I will try my best not to let him help, otherwise I don't want to do my business in the future.

For good, catcher Sun came in time, otherwise he really didn't know what would happen.

In the afternoon, Ding Niazi and Ding Xiaohu went to sell tofu flowers. Aunt Zhang had nothing to do, so she took a half-coon sole and came to Ding's house to visit.

He walked directly to the east room where Ding's mother was, but he saw Ding's mother lying and sighing.

Aunt Zhang sat on the edge of the kang, holding the needle and thread in one hand and holding Ding's mother's hand in the other. She advised, "I said, Sister-in-law of the Ding family, there are too many troublemakers. Anyway, today's grandson catcher has helped your family. I think you'd better relax. If you are sad and sick, isn't it also troublesome?"

Ding's mother's eyes were tearful. She took Aunt Zhang's hand bitterly and said sadly, "Aunuch, what do you think I did in my last life? How could I encounter such a thing? It's not easy for us orphans and widows to live a difficult life. Unexpectedly, there are still people coming to blackmail our family. What do you think those people think?

Aunt Zhang sighed, "I'm afraid I think there is no strong man in your family, and I think it's easy to bully. Well, this kind of thing is rare? Isn't there one or two things happening on this street every ten days and a half months? It's important for you to take care of your body.

Ding's mother knows that what Aunt Zhang said is reasonable. Where there is business and a market, there is absolutely no shortage of local snakes.

While chatting here, a cheerful woman's voice suddenly sounded in the yard, "Sister-in-law, are you at home?" Then there was the sound of heavy footsteps.

Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "It seems that Ruyi has come."

Ding's mother hurriedly supported the bed with both hands and sat upright slightly. When she was young, she saw a strong woman who was not as tall as a man appear at the door.

"Ruyi, come on, sit down quickly." Ding's mother greeted attentively.

Wan Ruyi is cheerful and doesn't know what the image is. She immediately shakes a large piece of pork in her hand and smiles, "Sister-in-law, I just heard that someone came to you to make trouble. I'm really sorry. It's far away and doesn't help. Man Cai asked me to send you some pork and simmer some soup to drink, so as to suppress the shock.

Ding's mother saw that the piece of meat weighed three or four catties, and she shyly refused, "Oh, how can you be embarrassed? We are all a family. It's good for you to come and see me. Why bring such a big piece of pork? Isn't this a waste?"

Wan Ruyi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you said that we were a family. What else did you say to me? You also know my nature. Since I brought it here, there is no reason to bring it back.

Wan Ruyi is not only cheerful, but also very bold. She is absolutely generous to the people she is used to, but for the people she hates, there is absolutely no good face to show.

In some ways, if it hadn't been for the help, Ding Mancai's pork shop might not have been able to open so well. It can sell three big fat pigs every day. Almost the pork business in this market is concentrated in their house.

Ding's mother naturally knew Wan Ruyi's temperament. It was not easy to say anything to refuse immediately, so she had to raise her voice and say, "Ruo'er, Rou'er, are you at home?"

At that time, Ding Rou was sewing clothes in the West Room. Hearing Ding's mother call her, she hurriedly answered and came over.

"Oh, mother, I'm here. What's the matter?"

Ding's mother pointed to Aunt Zhang and Wan Ruyi in the room and said, "Look, you and Aunt Zhang and your aunt come to see me. Why don't you go to the stove to make some tea?"

Ding Rou hurriedly nods to Aunt Zhang and Wan Ruyi, and called with a smile, "Aden Zhang, auntie."

Aunt Zhang also nods her head and looks at Ding Rou and praises, "Reo'er is getting more and more beautiful now. I don't know which blessed boy can marry Rou'er and go back to be his daughter-in-law."

Ding Rou immediately blushed and even embarrassed to raise her head.

Aunt Zhang's words were originally a very common compliment to the girl's family, but it inadvertently hit the pain in Ding's mother's heart.

Because of Ding's page, the marriage of the two girls in the family has not been decided so far, which really broke her heart.

Wan Ruyi handed the pork in her hand to Ding Rou's hand and ordered, "Hurry up and hang it in the stove room. In the afternoon, cut a little and simmer the soup to make up for your mother. Look at your mother's current physical condition is really bad. You, as a daughter, you should know that you love your mother."

This is what is said to Ding Rou now. Her character has changed a lot, and what others say can also be heard. If this is put aside in the past, with Ding Rou's arrogant temper, how can he pay attention to them? Not to mention pouring tea and pouring water.

Ding Rou took the pork and thanked Wan Ruyi again. Then she took the pork to the stove, cooked tea first, and brought it to Aunt Zhang and Wan Ruyi respectively. Then, according to Wan Ruyi's instructions, he cut down some pork and planned to simmer the soup for Ding's mother.

Of course, such a big piece of pork, the food of several people in the family is almost the same. Ding Rou can't be so stingy that she can cut a little, which is only enough for Ding's mother to eat, but almost half of the pork is cut down, so the whole family has a good tooth sacrifice.

Although the family's economic conditions have improved a lot, there are too many places to spend money in the future, so the food is not very good, and I am almost reluctant to buy such a large piece of pork. Fortunately, my uncle's family sells pork and generously gives such a large piece.

In addition to Ding Rou's joy, her good impression on Wan Ruyi is also getting stronger and stronger, and her prejudice against her in the past has faded a lot. Maybe different people have different personalities, and they just have to be good-hearted. Why bother to worry about whether her temperament is like a woman's temperament?

Although her aunt is a little bit of a man, she is really good.

Without the pork in the way, Wan Ruyi also moved a stool and sat at the head of Ding's mother's bed, intending to chat.

Wan Ruyi asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, where has your family offended Mr. Shen? Well, why did he come to your house to make trouble?

Mother Ding subconsciously took a look at Aunt Zhang. Wan Ruyi and she are her mother-in-law. There are some things to say, but Aunt Zhang is just a good neighbor. She can be separated and reconciled, but she can't talk about everything.

But Aunt Zhang didn't understand what Ding's mother's eyes meant. She still sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, waiting to hear how Ding's mother and Wan Ruyi would explain.

Ding's mother coughed dryly, looked at Wan Ruyi helplessly, and sighed, "Speaking of which, my family and Mr. Shen can't get along with each other. I can't even see him many times. How can I offend him? It was Mr. Shen who came to my house in person yesterday.

Aunt Zhang saw it with her own eyes yesterday. At that time, she was very curious, but she was too embarrassed to look at it immediately.

Wan Ruyiqi said, "Oh? Did Mr. Shen come to your house in person?

Ding's mother nodded, confirming Wan Ruyi's words.

Wan Ruyi asked more and more in surprise, "What's the matter? Mr. Shen, a prince, what are you doing at your house? It's not to buy tofu, is it?

At least the Shen family is a middle class. If it is the second young master in the house to come out to do the rough work of buying tofu in person, how bad will the Shen family be? Obviously, it is impossible.

Ding's mother shook her head and frowned and said, "I don't know what he is here to do. Because everything in the family is in charge of the page, Mr. Shen discussed with the page yesterday. I listened to the page and told me that the Shen family also intended to open a tofu shop and expand their business. I heard that my tofu was well made, so I wanted to know what the secret of my tofu was. Mr. Shen came to inquire about it.

Wan Ruyi's mind should be straight, and she usually doesn't doubt other people's words. Hearing what Ding's mother said, she thought about it in her mind, as if this reason could also be explained.

She knows that the Ding family's tofu is a craft inherited from her ancestors. In fact, there is no special secret. It's just that it's different from other families in controlling the heat at every step. And this difference is not something that can be said, but should be constantly honed in practice.

"How can you say this? This is not an ordinary embarrassment. Wan Ruyi said angrily.

Aunt Zhang blinked her eyes strangely and said in surprise, "How did the Shen family think of doing the business of a tofu shop?"

Ding's mother shook her head, "I don't know. Those rich people's minds are spinning. If they can be guessed by us, how can it be their turn to get rich?"

Wan Ruyi nodded with Aunt Zhang. That's right. If they can guess the thoughts of the rich, they will be the ones who are rich.

"Because the page didn't tell Mr. Shen the secret, Mr. Shen came to smash your stall today?" Aunt Zhang continued to ask about gossip.

Ding's mother said melancholy, "It should be, otherwise there is no other place to offend Mr. Shen. Only yesterday's incident can make a point. Early this morning, he threw a piece of rotten tofu on my stall indiscriminately, insisting that my tofu was not delicious and wanted to compensate him.

Wan Ruyi sneered and said, "It's really the son of a rich family. This thing doesn't suit his appetite, and he has to say that it's someone else's fault."
