Chapter 11 The Daughter-in-law
Ding Mu didn't notice Gao's mother's uncomfortable movements, and said with a smile: "Oops...... Sister-in-law, you are polite, your family's business is really good, who in this town doesn't know that your sauce and vinegar are the best, the color and taste are first-class, who else can compare to your family? If you say that business is not good, then other people are afraid that they will have to drink the northwest wind. ”
As soon as Ding's mother spoke, she praised it without hesitation, Gao's mother was very useful, so she was even more embarrassed to mention the main purpose of her visit this time, raised her chin slightly proudly, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's not me who brags, my family's sauce and vinegar is definitely an ancestral craft." Once you eat it, you're sure to come back again. ”
After a pause, Gao's mother lowered her head again and smiled at Ding's mother: "I said Aunt Ding, isn't your tofu also a handicraft handed down from your ancestors, I heard that the taste has changed a little now, what's wrong?" ”
Gao's mother stared at Ding's mother, as if she wanted to see something.
Ding's mother thought of the reason for the change in the taste of her tofu, and couldn't help blushing, and said with a smile: "There were some problems a few days ago, but the past two days have been better, and those who eat it often know that it's all right." ”
Gao Mu frowned as if worried, and asked with concern, "Do you know what's going on?" Don't do it again next time, it's really bad for business. If you have a bad reputation, it will be difficult to do business in the future. ”
Ding Mu nodded slightly, and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that she ordered tofu at the wrong time on the page, and it doesn't matter if it's on the side." ”
Of course, Ding's mother can't say that it's because of the beans, although in her eyes, Gao's mother will be her in-laws in the future, and it can be regarded as a family, but this kind of thing is related to Ding Rou's reputation, once it is spread out, it will not be good, of course, you can't tell others casually.
As for ordering tofu on the page, this is a matter that is prone to errors, and if the average person orders it is not good, the tofu will not be delicious, which is common sense that everyone knows.
In this way, Gao's mother is not good to continue to ask, this is just a conversation she is looking for, and she doesn't really want to know the reason.
Gao Mu twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her mind was uncertain, her brows furrowed slightly, obviously thinking about something.
Ding Yezi hesitated outside the door of the hall for a while, but still stepped in, called Ding's mother, and then politely said to Gao's mother: "Aunt Gao, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”
Gao Mu smiled reluctantly, her eyes turned away, obviously not waiting to see Ding Page.
Ding Page raised her eyebrows, naturally not taking her attitude to heart. There's no need to spoil your mood for unrelated people.
Ding Yezi sat in the position of Ding's mother's hand, and saw that the two women in the hall did not speak for a while, so she spoke: "Aunt Gao, is there something wrong with coming to my house this time?" ”
Gao's mother was still wringing the handkerchief in her hand, obviously still a little nervous now, when she heard Ding Yezi ask her, she thought for a moment, and nodded slightly, "There is something." ”
Ding Yezi glanced at Ding's mother, and saw that her expression was as usual, as if she had no other thoughts, so she turned her eyes to Gao's mother again, and asked with a smile: "Then aunt, what are you here for?" But what did you tell my mother? ”
Ding's mother also smiled: "Sister-in-law Gao, what's the matter?" You've been sitting here for a while, and you haven't even heard you talk about it. ”
Gao's mother sighed lightly, and her feet subconsciously moved the ground, frowning and saying, "It's hard to say." ”
Ding Mu smiled, stretched out her right hand over the table, slapped Gao Mu, and said very warmly: "Hi...... We're all old neighbors, so what's there to say? Say whatever you want! I see you've been to my house several times during this time, and it's like you're in trouble. We've been friends for so many years, if you need help with something, just say it, don't bother. ”
Gao Mu rubbed her hands and said secretly: What you say now sounds good, and when you talk about it later, you will have to jump to your feet.
It's just that the old couple of the Gao family don't like this family business now, if it weren't for the friendship between the two families for so many years, they would have directly said that they would have quit the marriage.
Now seeing that Gao Chentian is seventeen years old, it will be too late if he doesn't find a daughter-in-law, and the old couple of the Gao family finally can't stand it anymore, so they gave up the idea of letting the Ding family take the initiative to speak, and decided to strike first.
"That's the case," Gao's mother coughed lightly, glanced at Ding Page on the side, thought about it, or decided to say in front of her, and said: "Sister-in-law of the Ding family, in the early years, our families were almost the same, so we set up a marriage for Page and Chentian." Now they're all older kids, they're all about the same age, I think ......"
Ding's mother thought that Gao's mother was here to propose, and before she could finish speaking, she smiled and said, "Oh...... I said sister-in-law, it turns out that you came to my house for this matter, don't worry, although I am reluctant to page, but my daughter's family is always going to get married, no matter how reluctant I am as a mother, I can't keep her at home all the time, right? This daughter, if you stay and stay, you will become an enemy. Have you ever read the yellow calendar, which day is the auspicious day of the zodiac? ”
Gao's mother continued to wring the handkerchief in her hand, and looked at Ding's mother with a smile, "I said Ding's sister-in-law, you misunderstood." ”
Ding Mu was talking energetically, her hands were unconsciously waving in the air, looking happy, she was stunned when she heard the words, thinking of what Ding Page had told her before, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, blinked her eyes in confusion, and asked Gao Mu, "Then what do you mean?" ”
Gao's mother looked nervous, obviously still embarrassed, "Sister-in-law of the Ding family, you also know that our Gao family is a responsible family, and we don't ask to marry a good daughter-in-law to come back, as long as it is a person who abides by the rules." But the incident that happened some time ago has now spread throughout Taihe County. Although the page is related to Chentian's family affairs since childhood, don't mind the sister-in-law of the Ding family, forgive me for telling the truth. If I really let the page into our Gao family, then even if I die, I won't have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors of the Gao family when I go down to Huangquan. ”
Gao's mother voice was sad, as if the Ding family was forcing marriage, and continued: "Sister-in-law of the Ding family, you are also a mother, compare your heart to your heart, are you willing to marry a person with a bad reputation?" Isn't this a joke for the whole city? ”
Ding's mother turned pale, bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Ding Page without an idea.
She has always been a person who has no opinions, and she used to listen to Ding Rou about everything, but during this time, because Ding Page has gradually become stronger, she subconsciously likes to find her ideas.
Ding Yezi had been looking forward to this day for a long time, of course he had no other opinions, and said very happily: "Aunt Gao, I understand your feelings. So, what are the formalities for this divorce? Just tell me, that's all it takes for our family, and it has nothing to do with men and women in the future. ”
Ding Mu was frightened when she heard this, her hands were subconsciously raised in the air, she patted her thighs, and said anxiously: "Page, what nonsense are you talking about?" This kind of thing is also said by a girl of yours! Aren't you going to ruin your life? Alas...... How do I teach you on a daily basis! I'm so by you! ”
Ding Page pouted and patiently persuaded her mother, "Mother, this marriage can't be done in the first place, and you don't have a lot in your heart, why do you have to pretend to be reluctant?" It's better for the two families to talk about it, and the marriage will be settled, and they will be liberated, and they will not be able to be good neighbors in the future. The provincial troublemaker broke his face and was seen as a joke by others. ”
Gao's mother didn't expect Ding Yezi to say such a thing, and looked at her with some surprise for a while.
After Ding Page finished speaking, he looked at Mother Gao again, and said very sincerely: "Aunt Gao, in fact, we don't talk darkly, I already know your thoughts, you ran to my house again and again, don't you just want the two families to get together and disperse?" After all, it's been a friendship for so many years, don't you say? ”
Gao's mother was stunned by what she said, and she couldn't tell where she couldn't say it well, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I've known each other for so many years, and they're all old friends." ”
Ding Yezi clapped his hands and said: "No, we can't waste so many years of friendship, let's get together and disperse, and we can still be good neighbors in the future." If something happens to one family, the other can still help. If you break your face because of this, how ugly is that? ”
Gao's mother bowed her head, she didn't expect Ding Page to be so talkative, and agreed to withdraw in a few words, but she took the trouble to think about it for so long, and she was not embarrassed to mention it.
Gao's mother looked at Ding Page with a smile and said with a smile: "Actually, this withdrawal is also very simple, it was originally two private baby relatives that day, and I didn't find any matchmakers." Now all you have to do is return to me the belongings that my family has given you. In this way, the two of us can go our separate ways. ”
Determine a relative? She didn't seem to have any impression of this thing.
Ding Page was about to ask her mother, what was the token of the family, and where it was, when suddenly Ding's mother turned cold, and slapped her right hand on the table, which shook the dishes on the table.
Ding Yezi and Gao Mu didn't expect Ding Mu's movements, and Qi Qi was taken aback. Especially Gao's mother, she originally felt that she was doing something wrong, and of course she was even more afraid.
Ding Page was so frightened that he patted his heart and complained: "Mother, what are you doing, you scared me to death." ”
Ding's mother suddenly became unusually cowardly, trembling her hands, and pointed at Ding Page angrily, "I'm scared to death that you pull it down!" How did I give birth to such a thing as you who don't know what to do! Is this family matter something you say will be withdrawn? Are you a child's play? Do you still take me as a mother in your eyes? Don't you want to be when I'm dead? ”
After speaking, Ding's mother turned her head to look at Gao's mother again, with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Gao, this marriage was originally negotiated by the two families, and no one forced anyone to say anything. Although I didn't go through the matchmaker, this token was given! I didn't say a word as a mother, and you kidnapped my daughter and wanted to quit your family? ”
