Chapter 32 Invitations and Provocations
Since Ding Yezi took charge of the Ding family's finances, Ding Rou has no income, so she can no longer go to the jewelry store from time to time to pick out some beautiful jewelry and help herself add some dowry.
She has developed a habit over the years, but now her purse is flat and her heart is weak.
After Ding Yezi sells tofu now, he will give her some money according to her labor situation.
It's just that she has just started to do things, and there are very few things she can do, and the money she gets is naturally not much, usually about 200 yuan a day.
Seeing that Ding Page was not at home at this time, Ding Rou bolted the door of the West House from the inside, and took out his purse from the cabinet again.
Flipping the flat purse in her hand, Ding Rou couldn't help sighing, this little money is not as much as she saved in a day in the past. 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 much.
She couldn't help but blame Ding Page, isn't it good to do things well? If you want to compare with her, you have to let her do things to be happy, what a nasty person!
Carrying a purse in his left hand, his right hand slowly spread out in front of him, the soft skin of his fingertips has become slightly rough, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will be calloused.
Thinking that that kind of nasty thing would appear on her hands, Ding Rou was angry.
If this is seen by her little sisters, how will she speak in front of them in the future? I'm afraid that they will all look down on her, and it is unknown whether they will have anything to do with her in the future.
She has turned down several invitations this month, and every once in a while, several girls of their similar age would get together to play around. Sometimes it's going out together, sometimes it's going out to the market together, sometimes it's going to the jewelry store together to buy some beautiful jewelry, sometimes it's just getting together to talk about how you're doing, and most of the time it's about what you've 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 had bought, every time she saw the envious eyes of others, Ding Rou's vanity would be greatly satisfied, and it also made her a little more happy about the yellow and white things of money.
But now she is a poor bastard, and she can no longer show off in front of others, and if she goes to the party, she is afraid that the person who is stimulated will become her in the end, and she will become the laughing stock of so many people.
They're going to laugh at her!
Ding Rou's hand holding the purse couldn't help but clench, thinking of what might happen if she went to the party, her throat was filled with a layer of bitterness, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
She didn't think about whether she should do those things or not, she only knew that Ding Page had deprived her of power! made her completely unable to raise her head in front of people.
After saving for so many days, there is only less than one or two pieces of silver in the purse, which is not enough to buy a better hairpin.
"Alas...... What can you do with this money? Ding Rou was depressed, and her body couldn't help but droop, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
It's been a long time since I've seen the envious eyes of others, and I haven't heard the sour words of others, Ding Rou feels empty in her heart, as if she is uncomfortable missing a piece. Holding the flat purse, but her heart itched badly, and it seemed that a voice kept saying in her ear: hurry up and buy new jewelry, and hurry up to show off in front of others.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and Ding's mother's soft voice came, "Rou'er, are you in the house?" Xiaoyun is coming to you. ”
Ding Rou hurriedly hid her purse, straightened her clothes, and opened the door.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Ding Rou frowned and complained about Ding's mother. Her mother suddenly knocked on the door, causing her to think that her sister was back, and she was startled.
Regarding Ding Rou's disrespectful attitude, Ding's mother had long been accustomed to it, and she didn't take it to heart, and 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 glanced at the shop, and sure enough, she saw Yang Yun standing in the shop, waving to her with joy on her face.
Yang Yun is the same age as her, and she is also fourteen years old this year, and her family sells cloth. Because it is small, it sells some fabrics that are not very valuable, which is considered the consumption grade of ordinary people. Although the Yang family's business is not big, it is still reasonable, similar to the previous Ding family.
Now that the Ding family's business is not so good, Yang Yun faintly has the posture of riding on her head.
After all, in the past, the income of the Ding family was in Ding Rou's hands, and she could buy whatever she wanted, but Yang Yun was different, she was just a girl from the Yang family, and his father and mother only gave her a small amount of money each time, and the rest was saved by herself for her younger brother to marry his daughter-in-law in the future.
So although the situation of the two families is similar, because Ding Rou has more money in her hands, in most cases, it is Yang Yun who looks at her face and is her follower.
But now she can't even compare to Yang Yun.
If she had been poor, it would have been fine, seeing that Yang Yun had become accustomed to it now, she had never thought of asking her father and mother to take charge of the family's property. And what about her? The family's belongings have always been in her hands, and now that they are gone, how can she get used to it?
Ding Rou stood at the door and took a few deep breaths before reluctantly walking towards the shop.
"Xiaoyun, why do you have time 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 store again, and found that there are a lot of new good-looking jewelry, do you want to go and see it? ”
Under normal circumstances, Yang Yun's economy is also relatively poor, so he can only follow those people to go to the jewelry store to have a good time.
But she also has a habit that when she has saved enough money around her, she will take Ding Rou to accompany her to buy a new piece of jewelry, so that she can show off it at the next party.
Hearing that the jewelry shop had entered new jewelry, Ding Rou's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching, and she couldn't wait to fly over to see it now.
But at the thought of the flat purse, her fiery enthusiasm was extinguished at once.
If you don't have money, what are you going to do?
Ding Rou rarely shook her head at Yang Yun and said, "No, if you have a favorite jewelry, you can buy it yourself." I don't want to go out now, I'm tired and panicked, I just want to rest at home. ”
Compared with Ding Rou's pretty appearance, Yang Yun looks a little ordinary, with a long face, almond eyes, and a small nose, but her mouth is slightly bigger, otherwise she is a very beautiful girl.
Yang Yun held Ding Rou's arm and swayed, in her concept, Ding Rou is the favorite jewelry shop among the little sisters she knows, even if she doesn't have enough money in her pocket, she will go to the jewelry shop to go around, and then see if there is any jewelry she likes. After you have saved enough money around you, you can decisively reach out and take it!
She persuaded in a coquettish voice: "Rou'er, so Rou'er, haven't you always liked to visit jewelry stores the most?" Can you just come with me to see it? It's really not interesting for me to go alone. ”
Why doesn't Ding Rou want to go? In fact, there are thousands of people who want to go. But now she has a flat purse, and it is not as easy to get money as before, she really has no confidence to go to the jewelry store again, for fear that she will be hit by something terrible! Then she might as well be dead.
Ding Rou shook her head affirmatively, straightened her face, tore away Yang Yun's arm holding herself, frowned and said to her in a deep voice: "Yang Yun, I told you, I don't want to go." If you want to go, you can go by yourself, and I won't stop you. ”
Yang Yun is also a fuel-efficient master, where can she see Ding Rou's face? In the past, Ding Rou had a lot of money around her, and she had to look at her face. But she heard that the Ding family's money is now in the hands of Ding Page, and she didn't believe it at first, with Ding Rou's temperament, how could she be willing to snatch the fat meat in her hand from her sister? But looking at Ding Rou's attitude now, it seems that there is really something like that?
Yang Yun asked tentatively: "Rou'er, isn't it true that your family's money has been taken by your sister, so you don't have any money to buy new jewelry now?" ”
Ding Rou immediately turned into a fried cat, jumped to her feet and said, "Yang Yun, where did you hear this kind of nonsense?" Who said that I, Ding Rou, have no money around me now? I'm telling you, I have so much silver around me that I just don't want to buy new jewelry. ”
Yang Yun rolled his eyes, deliberately made a provocative posture, and pouted: "Really?" That's weird, Rou'er, when did you change your sex? In the past, you liked to buy new jewelry the most, why did you suddenly not like to visit jewelry stores? In fact, it's no wonder that people outside say this, if you think about what you were like before, and then look at what you are now, it's normal for others to think so. I almost believed it. ”
Ding Rou's eyes widened, grabbed Yang Yun's sleeve, and asked urgently, "What are you talking about me outside?" ”
Yang Yun pursed his lips, "It's just that you haven't been to the jewelry store for a long time, and they all say that your Ding family's money is now held by your sister, and you don't have any spare money around you at all." also said that if you want to help your sister do things, your sister will give you food, which is simply using you as a maid! ”
As she spoke, Yang Yun subconsciously looked Ding Rou up and down, but sure enough, she found that Ding Rou's expression was a little wrong, and she knew in her heart that what she just said was true.
Ding Rou is a person who wants to save face, Yang Yun has never dared to talk nonsense in front of her, and now even she can say it so excessively, you can imagine what those people say about her.
"Done! I'll accompany you to the jewelry store! Who said that I, Ding Rou, have no money? I can still afford good stuff! ”
