Text Chapter 4 Cheap Mother-in-law
The old woman asked again, "Is she making all the tofu?" ”
Ding Rou still nodded, and this is exactly the case.
The old woman turned around and looked at the tofu with a look of disgust.
Ding Rou was surprised, and said in a polite voice: "Auntie, this tofu is really delicious, ancestral craftsmanship, why don't you come with two pieces, and I'll give you a cheaper?" ”
Hearing that it could be bought cheaply, the look on the old woman's face immediately looked good, and she said, "How much does it cost me a catty?" ”
Ding Rou stretched out her thumb and tail fingers and flexed the other three fingers.
Seeing this, the old woman said happily: "Okay, cut me two catties, go home and stew some soup, and then mix it cold, it is exactly what you can eat at this time." ”
Ding Rou sighed happily and distressedly, took the sixteen coins handed by the old woman, and put them in her waist bag. Ding Page also got up in time and cut two large pieces of tofu and the old woman.
After the old woman walked away, Ding Rou looked at Ding Page angrily and asked, "Sister, what's going on with you lately?" There are more than one person who said that our tofu is getting worse and worse, you see that the two pots of tofu have not been sold until now, are you looking at me for not giving you money, deliberately making it bad, not making good tofu? ”
Ding Yezi snorted coldly, glanced at her, and said unceremoniously: "Why is this tofu getting worse and worse, you don't know why at all?" ”
Although her sister was obedient to her in the past and never said a word, but this is not the first time that Ding Yezi has quarreled with her in the past month, Ding Rou is not too surprised at this time, but the person who has always been obedient now dares to talk back, which still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
"How do I know why? You didn't make tofu, and I didn't make it. She retorted.
Ding Yezi glanced at her, and said expressionlessly: "Just those rotten beans you bought, it's good to make these tofu that can still be eaten, what else do you want?" Don't you think those rotten beans can still make good tofu? There is no such good thing in the world. ”
Ding Rou choked and couldn't help being short of breath, but she still said stiffly: "When I go, there are beans like this left, what can I do?" ”
Ding Yezi pursed his lips, did not expose her, but said lightly: "Then why don't you go earlier today, and buy such poor beans every time." You're embarrassed to buy it back, I'm embarrassed to use it to make tofu, and I don't have to ruin the reputation of our family's ancestral craftsmanship. ”
Ding Yezi's words were a little heavy, Ding Rou's cheeks turned red, and she said angrily: "Then I'm not trying to save my family's expenses, now I earn less and less money day by day, don't you save money to spend, don't you want to live at home in the future?" ”
Ding Yezi sneered and rolled his eyes, "The hairpin you bought a few days ago is enough for our mother to eat for several months, why didn't you think about the lack of money at home when you bought it?" ”
Ding Rou was suffocated again, and was speechless when she was refuted by Ding Page.
She stomped her feet angrily, went to the back room angrily, dragged Ding's mother out, pointed to Ding Page and said, "Mother, look at it, sister, she bullied me." ”
Of course, Ding's mother didn't believe that Ding Page would bully Ding Rou, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, it's too late for your sister to hurt you, and you are reluctant to do something as big as a sesame mung bean, how can she bully you?" ”
Ding Rou twisted her body and said coquettishly: "Mother, my sister really bullied me, why don't you help me make the decision?" You're eccentric, you're so eccentric! ”
Ding Page is speechless, her mother is indeed eccentric, but it is her Ding Rou, not her Ding Page.
Ding's mother laughed and said helplessly: "Then tell your mother, why did your sister bully you?" ”
Ding Page thought about it for a while, thinking that he couldn't let Ding Rou go on like this, and if he didn't give her a clear explanation, he really used her Ding Page as a free buddy! Then he also took the opportunity to say: "Rou'er, since you said that I bullied you, then you can tell your mother how I bullied you, and let my mother help you decide." If my mother thinks you are right, I have nothing to say, just admit punishment. ”
Ding Rou glared at Ding Page angrily, shook Ding's mother's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Mother, it's obvious that my sister's skills in making tofu are getting worse day by day, which makes old customers say that our tofu is getting worse and worse." She doesn't want to make progress, and she doesn't think about it. You also blame me, saying that the beans I bought are not good, mother, you have to call the shots for me. ”
Ding's mother looked at the wooden basin used to hold tofu on the stall, and saw that there was nearly half a pot of tofu in it, she couldn't help sighing, shook her head slightly, and stabilized Ding Rou's hand with one hand, asking her not to dangle herself anymore, shaking her head dizzy, and said: "Rou'er, don't blame your mother for this, you know best in your own heart how your sister's craftsmanship is, and you know it in your own heart." You are at home, your mother is raised like your young lady, and let your sister do everything, thanks to your sister's good temperament, hard-working, but if this kind of wrong thing is placed on her again, my mother will not agree. ”
Ding Yezi smiled when he heard this, fortunately, Ding's mother was not blind, and she did not defend Ding Rou at such a time.
Ding Rou didn't expect Ding's mother to not help her speak, but to help her ugly sister. Goodbye Ding Yezi had a smug smile on his face, and suddenly his heart was on fire, and all the anger that had been pent up in the past month came out, and he pointed at her and scolded: "Okay, you ugly bastard, what are you laughing at?" If you can't get married, you just can't get married, and you still recognize your father-in-law. Now that the business at home is not good, you still don't admit your own mistakes, and you even deduce that I didn't buy good beans. You deserve it, no one wants you! It's so ugly! ”
Ding's mother didn't expect Ding Rou to speak ill of Ding Yezi, she didn't react for a while, and didn't have time to stop it, and after she finished speaking, she caught up and covered her mouth, and reprimanded angrily: "Rou'er, what do you say!" The page is your sister, how can a sister talk to her sister like this, there are no rules! ”
Ding Yezi's expression changed, and he looked at Ding Rou coldly, the cold light in his eyes made Ding Rou shiver involuntarily, and he didn't dare to say some of the ugly words he had prepared, and swallowed them all in his stomach.
Ding Yezi stood up, looked at Ding Rou with eye level, and his voice was slightly deep, "Rou'er, you are my own sister, I didn't want to worry too much about you, but you shouldn't go too far." Even if I said the wrong thing that day and told others that I was unchaste, it was because I was delirious. Don't you forget why I was delirious, if I hadn't stood in front of you, would you still be standing here safely now? It can't be said that she has become someone else's wife sooner. ”
Ding Rou was so ashamed that her cheeks were red because of Ding Page's public advance, she stomped her feet angrily, covered her face and ran back to the back room.
Ding's mother looked at Ding Page with a slight shock, but she really didn't expect that what she said just now would be said by her eldest daughter.
Ding Yezi's nature is like this, thinking that he may have to live with Ding's mother for the rest of his life, even if he temporarily hides his emotional character, he can't lie in front of Ding's mother for the rest of his life, right? It's better to simply say it, let Ding's mother know her temperament, so as not to pretend to be angry in the future.
Ding Yezi looked directly at Ding's mother's inquiring eyes, and said in a flat voice: "Mother, don't you think Rou'er is getting more and more excessive now?" Last time I bought a hairpin, it cost two taels of silver, if it is replaced with rice noodles, it is enough for our mother to eat for several months. It's my fault that the business at home is not good, but should I buy those bad beans because the business is not good, and shoddy? ”
Ding Yezi is talking about it, and he wants to brainwash Ding's mother well, and he can't spoil Ding Rou like that anymore.
Mother Ding suddenly pulled her, dragged her behind her, and stepped forward with a smile, "Oops...... Isn't this a tall sister-in-law, why do you have time to come here today? ”
Ding Page turned around and saw that it wasn't her cheap mother-in-law. I guess I came here today to get out of the marriage.
Ding Yezi shrugged her shoulders indifferently, wishing she had really withdrawn from her marriage, she didn't want to marry now, even if she was married, she should find someone with feelings, not just a random person.
Mrs. Gao hurriedly greeted Ding's mother enthusiastically, and took advantage of the gap to glance at Ding Page, but saw that Ding Page was busy cleaning up the stall, and she didn't even look at her, let alone take the initiative to say hello.
Aunt Gao couldn't help but look sink, although she didn't want Ding Page to be the daughter-in-law of her Gao family, but as a junior, shouldn't she come forward to say hello when she saw the elders?
Ding's mother noticed that Gao's mother looked at Ding Page, and when she turned around, the stupid girl didn't know how to behave in front of her future mother-in-law, and she only cared about doing things. Ding's mother hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ding's page, and complained: "Good girl, there are many things at home, you can't finish it for a while, hurry up and come over to say hello to your aunt." ”
Ding Page was pulled by Ding's mother, and reluctantly walked in front of Gao's mother, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she greeted enthusiastically: "Hello Aunt Gao, it's hot outside, go in and sit." ”
Although Ding Yezi has a smile on her face, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is smiling, she is clearly smiling and not smiling!
Gao's mother's face immediately sank, and she said coldly: "No need, I still have things at home, let's sit next time I have time." ”
said, didn't wait for Ding's mother to stay, and left without looking back.
Mother Ding looked at Ding Page in surprise, and said suspiciously: "Why did your aunt leave?" ”
Ding Yezi shook his head, blinked his eyes and said, "I'm not a roundworm in her stomach, where do you know?" ”
Ding's mother is headed, but it is also. Maybe I really just stopped by here today, so I said hello and left.
Ding Yezi's behavior was not because she was an impolite person, but because she knew in her heart that it was impossible for Gao's mother to come to her house to have a good thing, and she must have come to withdraw from the marriage. She also took care of her own face, for fear that taking the initiative to withdraw from the marriage would affect the reputation of his family, so she repeatedly came to Ding's house and hinted to Ding's mother that she hoped that the Ding family would take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage.
It's just that the only thing that Gao's mother didn't expect was that Ding's mother was really not a person who could play with her heart, and she didn't guess her intentions at all, and thought that Gao's mother was trying to build a good relationship with her family in advance.
