Chapter 19 Surrender
After two days like this, Ding Page has been insisting that either we work together or no one will work together. But because of Ding Rou's stubborn resistance, the Ding family is really out of food.
Ding Yizi and Ding's mother are fine. They are both people who are used to living a hard life. Even if they only drink porridge and pickles all day long, the two of them eat happily. But Ding Rou can't stand this kind of suffering. However, she is also very stingy. Although she holds a lot of high-value jewelry in her hand, which is enough to maintain her life alone for a long time, those are the dowry she has prepared for herself. If she takes it out now, what will she do when she gets married in the future?
With Ding's current attitude, it is impossible to prepare a large amount of dowry for her. You don't have to think about it.
On the fourth day, Ding Yizi was sitting at the table drinking porridge with Ding's mother. Ding Rou finally couldn't stand it. She held the wall with dazzled eyes and walked to the edge of the table.
Seeing that the two women were eating happily, Ding Rou's eyes were red, and tears rolled down and fell down. She cried, "Mom, sister, do you really care about me?"
Ding's mother looked at Ding Rou awkwardly. It's not good to drink porridge all the time, and it's not good not to drink porridge.
She only had two meals with Ding Rou, and Ding Rou stopped taking her. Ding's mother was too embarrassed to ask Ding's page for food, so she had to cook porridge by herself. But unfortunately, when she had just cooked two meals of porridge, the rice jar was empty!
Ding Page still had a little extra money around him, so he went out to buy some rice to eat. The rice was still put in the rice jar and did not hide it specially.
But maybe Ding's mother thinks too much. She always feels that it is the rice bought by Ding Page, and now Ding Page has this attitude at home, so she should not eat what Ding Page bought.
In this way, Ding's mother was hungry for two meals.
Ding Nianzi looked at Ding's mother's self-abuse, and he couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, although Ding's mother's temperament is a little weak, sometimes it is also human nature to be biased, not to mention that Ding's mother is usually the kind of diligent person who often helps her work together, but she is not lazy or anything. And her current behavior is just forcing Ding Rou to do things with her, not against Ding's mother.
In this way, when Ding Yizi had the next meal, he looked at her mother not far away, sighed, got up and invited her to the table. The two of them had dinner together.
Ding's mother began to be polite until Ding said that the porridge was cooked a lot. Now it's hot. If you don't finish the porridge, it will break at home. In this way, Ding's mother drank porridge happily, and later she ate it with Ding's page.
The more it came to this time, the more Ding's mother figured it out.
I think she has been hungry for two days. The second daughter with a lot of money around her doesn't even care about her life or death. She just cares about going out to find something to eat, and doesn't care about her being a mother at all. As for the eldest daughter, she has been forced to do things since she was a child. In the end, the eldest daughter gave her something to eat.
Every time I think of the gap, Ding's mother can't help but feel sad. It's really a waste of her love for her little daughter for so many years. That white-eyed wolf doesn't recognize her as a mother at all.
On this day, Ding Rou slowly moved to the table because she was really hungry in her stomach, trying to ask her mother and Ding Page for something to eat. It's just that to her surprise, Ding Niazi hadn't spoken yet, but her mother made a sound. And he didn't speak for her as usual, but scolded her.
"Huh..." Ding's mother didn't look at Ding Rou beside her. She said coldly, "Isn't there a lot of money around you? Since you have a lot of money and you are hungry, why don't you go out to buy food by yourself? There are so many restaurants outside. As long as you bring money with you, no matter where you go, you will be offered like a bodhisattva.
Ding Rou's eyes became more and more red, and she didn't expect that one day her mother would talk to her like this.
She explained, "But those money is the dowry I prepared for myself. If I use it, how can I get married in the future?"
In the past, Ding's mother thought that Ding Rou's reason was quite sufficient. Originally, if a woman marries her husband's family, the dowry she brings naturally belongs to her own. As long as the dowry is rich, she will have a strong confidence in talking and doing things in her husband's house, and she doesn't have to worry about a weak woman being bullied in her husband's house.
But after this Ding page strike, Ding's mother just felt that no matter how important your dowry is, can your life still be important?
In this way, Ding's mother's attitude towards Ding Rou has changed so much. But Ding Rou, who was in it, still didn't understand. She thought that Ding's mother's attitude had changed now because Ding Page said something bad about her in her mother's ear.
Therefore, after she finished her explanation, she viciously threw an eye knife at Ding's page.
Ding Page naturally won't care about such a little girl. You can have an eye knife. Anyway, you won't let her lose a piece of meat. You can play with it as you want.
Ding's mother snorted coldly, "Yes, when you wait for your mother, I will starve to death, and there will be no elders in your family to help you host the marriage. You have already prepared such a rich dowry, and you will get married better then, won't you?"
Ding Rou smiled and said, "Mom, why did you starve to death? Look, you're not sitting here well now. It's really a joke."
Ding's mother glanced at her coldly and snorted angrily, "If I follow you, a prodigal girl, I'm afraid I'll really starve to death!" How dare you say that in front of me now? You unfilial son, I have really loved you for nothing for so many years.
Ding Rou's face turned white and she asked tremblingly, "Mom, do you really care about me?"
Ding's mother said in a strange voice, "Oh... Rich lady, I, an old lady, can only drink porridge now. How can I have that spare time to take care of you? Whichever side is easy for you to enjoy the cool, you can go to which side.
Ding Rou's face turned pale.
In her opinion, no matter what she does, no matter how much she is, her mother should be on her side. Because she is the real baby in her parents' hands. How can her mother say such a thing to her now?
Seeing Ding's mother drinking porridge, it was very sweet. Ding Rou's stomach grunted again, obviously hungry.
She looked at Ding's page eagerly. Since Ding's mother was unreliable, she had to beg the eldest sister again. It's impossible for the two of them to really care about her, right? After all, they are still a family.
At this time, Ding Rou remembered that she was a family with the person in front of her.
Ding Page looked up at her at the right time and said softly with no expression on his face, "Jooer, it's like this now. Can you agree to my terms?"
Ding Rou nodded quickly and said repeatedly, "I promise, sister, no matter what you ask me to do now, I will do it, as long as you give me a bite."
Ding Rou is actually a little disapproving, but now that she is hungry, she will lie to Ding's page and give her some food first.
Ding's page raised her eyebrows slightly. Of course, she couldn't figure out what Ding Rou was thinking, but she wouldn't give Ding Rou something to eat like this. At this time, the sun was shining outside. Ding Zhizi pointed to the yard outside and said, "Youer, since you agreed to my terms, please do something first. When you finish your work, I will naturally give you something to eat. The first thing to do is to help me sweep the yard. After sweeping, I will serve porridge for you.
Hearing that Ding's page asked her to sweep the yard in this kind of weather, Ding Rou suddenly became angry. She just straightened her waist and wanted to make a living with Ding Page, but there was a soft grunt in her abdomen again.
Alas... The people take food as the first necessity. Let's take it. When she is full, it's not too late to argue with Ding Page.
In this way, Ding Rou had to hum out of the hall angrily, took a broom from the utility room, and swept it in the yard.
But as she swept, she had countless grievances in her heart. I think she has grown up to be so old. How can she ever do these rough work? Isn't this always what she should do on the page? Now it's good. Her father is not here, and her mother doesn't help her. Ding Niazi suddenly rode on her head.
The more Ding Rou thought about it, the more sad she was, and the more angry she was. A good yard was swept away by her. Only the more she swept, the dirtier it became, but it was not clean at all, and even some dust ran into the house.
Ding Page was speechless. She knew that Ding Rou could not work, but she really didn't expect it to be this much. Is Ding Rou sweeping the floor with a broom outside now, or is she practicing calligraphy?
Ding Yezi put down the bowl, walked to Ding Rou in the yard, took the broom in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Luoer, I didn't say you, what's the place you just swept? Is it sweeping the floor or ghost painting? Come on, now I'll teach you how to sweep the floor. If you learn it, I'll give you food.
Ding Rou was unwilling to follow Ding Page, but she had to look carefully at her way of sweeping the floor.
For the sake of her stomach, she put up with it for the time being!
When Ding Yizi was taught for the third time, Ding Rou swept the floor in the same way, at least she could sweep it clean.
In this way, Ding Yizi didn't talk to her much. After letting her sweep around the yard, she went to the kitchen to put a bowl of porridge for her to eat.
In fact, Ding's page is not really cruel, but there are some things that should be fought for. This lazy habit can't be left to her. Ding Rou is fine at home now. Her family will not care too much about her, but with her current temper, if she marries her husband, she will have to suffer. Who can stand this kind of living ancestor?
In this way, Ding Page has to do it.
However, thinking that Ding Rou is hungry today, she must be even more hungry after sweeping. In this way, Ding Yizi deliberately fished it from the bottom of the pot, specially filled her with thicker porridge, and also gave her a full stomach.
Anyway, Ding Rou is also her current sister.
