"Red in the middle!"

He Qingping touched a card and played it directly.

"Haha, it's nonsense again!"

Mrs. Mine excitedly pushed down the cards in her hand. "If good luck comes, it really can't be stopped!"

"Mrs. Mine is lucky! Winning in a row!" He Qingping said.

He Qingping's belly has begun to show shape, she is used to playing cards with one hand, and gently stroking her slightly swollen belly with the other.

"I'm so lucky!" The eldest lady should be in harmony.

"One day Mrs. Mine has to have a treat, she has been winning alone for the past two days, and my eyes are itching to see it, I am really jealous and envious!" He Qingping continued.

Ding Shujiao shuffled the cards and didn't make a sound, her lips fluttering on her expressionless face.

"Of course, it's a treat, in a few days, my grandchildren will have a full moon, you all come!"

Mrs. Mine was so happy that she lit a cigarette for herself with great interest, put it to her lips, stretched out her two hands, and pulled it casually, helping to shuffle the cards, and said with some smugness.

The room was filled with smoke.

"When did you get grandchildren and granddaughters?"

"Look at me busy, I forgot to report the good news, my two daughters-in-law gave birth at the same time last month, a boy, a girl, this time, I am a grandson, granddaughter has it! It's all right! ”

"Ouch! That's a great thing! Congratulations to Mrs. Mine! Why didn't you say it earlier, and still hide it, I'm afraid that we won't be able to drink all your wine?" He Qingping said with a smile.

"Yes, this is a blessing from the previous life! What a good thing to catch up with you! Ding Shujiao followed.

A few people were chatting, Meng Jiagui pushed the door in, and when he saw that they were playing mahjong, he smiled and said, "Yo!" How many people have fun!"

"Come here, listen, someone's daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy and a girl last month! Plus the big one, who is the same age as me, already has three grandchildren, alas! Not like me! Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon! I don't know where to look forward to it? ”

Seeing Meng Jiagui, the eldest lady lost the slightest smile on her face, she glanced at Ding Shujiao, who bowed her head silently, and was angry, so she deliberately said the word "raw" very loudly.

"What a good thing! When will Mrs. Mine have a treat, add me!" Meng Jiagui smiled, his eyes glanced at Ding Shujiao.

Ding Shujiao pursed her lips, her face was expressionless, she took out the chips, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly said, "My memory!" How can you forget the good things? Or, just right, the second young master is here, come, sit here, fight for me, I have something to do and retire first!"

"You're having fun, how can you just go, no!"

Mrs. Mine was having a good time, and when she heard that Ding Shujiao was leaving, she really felt disappointed, so she said unhappily: "I didn't say that I was going to leave halfway before!"

"I really have something to go!" Chai Lanying's ridicule just now made Ding Shujiao want to rush out of the door, rather than sitting here looking at each other's awkwardness, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

It's been so long since she married into the Meng family, and she hasn't added a son and a half daughter to the Meng family, which seems to be all her fault! Every time she meets Chai Lanying face to face, if you have something to say, it is long, and if you don't have a word, she is short, and when she gossips outside, Ding Shujiao is like a mirror in her heart. Her situation in the Meng family is the same as that of the eldest wife, they are all as narrow as a day, every time she is with Chai Lanying, within a few words, Ding Shujiao always feels angry.

"Ouch! Remembered!" He Qingping patted her head, "Shujiao told me that she was going to do something, and I pulled her over to play cards, and she said okay, she will go back after playing for a while, if you want to blame, blame me!" He Qingping glanced at Meng Jiagui on the side, and Meng Jiagui immediately understood.

"It just so happens that I also have itchy hands, and I haven't played for a long time, what's wrong? Mrs. Mine doubts my poker skills and doesn't want to play with me a few times?"

"How dare you!"

Mrs. Mine saw that she couldn't stop Ding Shujiao, so she had no choice but to give up.

Good luck was booming, she simply beckoned Meng Jiagui to sit down quickly, and shuffled the cards in the dark.

Ding Shujiao went out and was about to go back to her residence, but when she saw the servant hurriedly walking this way, she greeted her.

"Second young grandmother, someone is looking for you."

"Come to me? Who?"

"He said it was the second young grandmother's mother's family."

"Didn't you say what it was?"

When Ding Shujiao heard that it was her mother's family, her brows twisted into a pimple.

I have a father who is not angry, Ding Yuxi, he smokes a lot of cigarettes every day except for gambling, steals when he has no money, and borrows it.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The family's livelihood is a small sesame oil shop run by his mother who gets up early and works late. At the beginning, I married into the Meng family, wasn't it just to pay off my father's gambling debts?

Is there something going on at home?

Thinking of this, Ding Shujiao was a little flustered, and she walked to the gate in three steps and two steps.

The person who came was not her mother's family, but her long-time neighbor Grandma Jin.

"Ouch, young grandmother, something is wrong at home! Your mother..."

"My mother? Tell me, what's wrong with her?"

"She hit her head on a pillar and died!"

"What!"

Ding Shujiao couldn't believe her ears! I just felt my head "buzz" a little.

"It's impossible, you don't talk nonsense, how can this be?"

Ding Shujiao grabbed Grandma Jin's shoulders with both hands, glared at her eyes and said, Grandma Jin was so nervous that she stepped back again and again.

"Second young grandmother, it's true, don't believe it, go back and see it yourself!"

Ding Shujiao stumbled all the way to her mother's house, and from a distance, she saw that the door of her house was crowded with people who came to see the excitement.

"Get out of the way!"

When everyone saw that Ding Shujiao was back, they consciously gave way to it, Ding Shujiao rushed into the yard, and saw that under the pillar in front of the house, the mother was lying in a pool of blood, her face was full of tears, her head was full of blood, and her eyes were still half open.

"Mother!"

Ding Shujiao shouted, she didn't believe it! Don't believe your eyes! Don't believe it all will be true!

She shuddered, pounced forward, and tried her snort with her hand, but her mother was no longer breathing.

"Mother!"

With a heart-rending wail, tears slowly seeped out of the corners of Ding Shujiao's eyes.

"Mother! You're stupid! You shouldn't! What have you done to make you look for a short sight, and you are going to die on this pillar! Why are you so ruthless and leave me alone! …”

After crying for a while, Ding Shujiao endured her grief and slowly stood up, and when she saw that Grandma Jin had already followed, she glared and asked, "My mother is fine, why do you want to do this?"

Grandma Jin wiped away her tears, didn't dare to make a sound, and looked in the direction of the main house.

The meaning couldn't be clearer!

Ding Shujiao ran into the house, the room was messy, the chairs were crooked, and even the bedding on the bed was thrown on the ground, as if there was a battle. Dad Ding Yuxi leaned crookedly against the corner of the house, holding a dry tobacco in his hand, still swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

"My mother is dead, and you're still smoking!"

Ding Shujiao snatched the cigarette gun from her father's hand and slammed it to the ground. The cigarette crack cracked with a snap.

"Why did my mother kill her? You say, you say!" Ding Shujiao's eyes were red, and she asked in a hoarse voice.

Ding Yuxi didn't even raise her head, opened her mouth, and said, "Your mother is tired of living, she doesn't want to live, let her die, and I didn't force her!"

"You didn't force her? I didn't force her, she was fine, how could she be killed?"

Ding Yuxi raised her head with an innocent expression, "I really didn't force her, but I lost a few dollars and lost this sesame oil shop, so she was in a hurry with me, shouting that I can't live this day!" As she spoke, she pointed to the east and west with her hand, "She lost all of these!" She's crazy! ”

"You're confused! Without the sesame oil shop, what will our family live on? Didn't you force your mother to her death?"

Ding Yuxi glanced at Ding Shujiao, scratched her head and said, "Isn't there still you?" ”

After speaking, he leaned over, lay on the ground, stretched out his arm and touched the cigarette gun that had broken in two, turned over and sat up, trying to reconnect them, the cigarette gun was fiddled with by him, and felt that it was too hard to get it, so he sighed softly, and muttered in his mouth: "It's a pity!"

Hearing him say this, Ding Shujiao's face turned red with anger, and the light of resentment erupted from her eyes.

"Don't count on me, smoke, you know how to smoke, even if we have a gold mine in our house, it can't withstand your daily smoking and gambling. My mother, you don't regret it, you pity this broken smoking gun, are you still human!"

Ding Shujiao wanted to go up and grab the cigarette gun again, but Ding Yuxi hurriedly hid the cigarette gun in his arms when he saw this, and held on to it.

"That's a good thing! You broke it! If you dare to snatch it again, I'll play with you!" ”

Witnessing her mother's tragic death and her father's depressed and ugly face, a nameless fire suddenly jumped up from her ribs, resentment grew in her chest, and anger could make her erupt like a volcano at any time.

She was desperate!

"You pay me back!"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

A few words, Ding Shujiao almost roared and shouted.

Ding Yuxi pouted, simply stood up, shook his withered body and walked out of the door.

"What are you going to do?"

"People say gambling money, winning is money, losing is life, I didn't lose my life, but I lost your mother's life, I didn't expect her to be so strong, said to die, really hit the pillar to death, it's okay, a hundred deaths! I'm dead too! Anyway, if I lose other people's money, the oil shop will also get in, and you don't care about me, I have no hope, and I have no way to live! ”

"You don't deserve to be a man, you don't deserve to be a father! Even if you die, you have to bury my mother first!" Ding Shujiao stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Hehe, bury your mother?"

Ding Yuxi turned his head, looked at Ding Shujiao, laughed dryly, and sighed desperately, "Where is the money to buy a coffin!" You've passed the door, you've eaten and drunk spicy food, and you've forgotten about us! ”

"Don't you just want silver?"

Seeing that Ding Shujiao asked about the point, Ding Yuxi turned around and immediately stretched out his five fingers.

"Five silver dollars!"

"Fifty!"

"You're so embarrassed to open your teeth, you think I'm going to have an easy time? Forget it, for my father's sake, fifty is fifty. ”

Ding Yuxi didn't expect Ding Shujiao to agree so happily.

"Look at me, just thinking about how to bury your mother, you are such a mother, what your mother treats you, you know better than me, you can't let this funeral be too cold."

"You're not enough? How much?"

"One hundred!"

Ding Shujiao glanced at him, didn't speak, searched all over her body, found some money taels randomly, and handed them to Ding Yuxi.

"There are some here, I'll go back and find some more for you, that's all I have, don't force my mother to force me again, otherwise I won't recognize you as a father!"

Ding Yuxi checked the money in his hand with his hand, a little lost.

"Hey, I said girl, your Meng family is a rich family, you go and ask for it!"

"Dad, what do you think of me? Your cash cow? Do you care about my life or death? You are not so much marrying me to the Meng family, but selling me to the Meng family, you only have money in your head, money! Gamble with money, draw with money. Just beat you to death, for money, you sold me, for money, you forced my mother to death, dogs know how to watch a home, take care of a yard, what about you?"

"You dare to scold your father, you can pay it back! You dead girl! I, I..."

Ding Yuxi had red eyes, looked around, picked up the pimple, and was about to slap Ding Shujiao, but Ding Shujiao dodged away.

"Ouch! Master, young grandmother, don't fight, people are still lying outside!"

When Grandma Kim heard a fight in the house, she stepped in and pulled the rack.

Ding Yuxi's body board that smoked a lot of cigarettes was already weak, thin and yellow, and he was already exhausted after tossing twice. His nose was itching, he wanted to squirt, his mouth was open, but he didn't get it, so he squatted back into the corner, took out the silver dollars that had just come from his bosom, picked one out, blew it vigorously with his mouth, put it to his ear and listened, and heard the sound of the silver dollar "ding", his face showed a satisfied expression, and he picked up the broken cigarette gun on the ground again.

"Are you using this money to buy cigarettes? You give me back the money!" Ding Shujiao said angrily.

"Who said I was going to buy cigarettes? This money is for your mother's burial! ”

After saying that, Ding Yu tried the corner of his eye with his hand and sighed, "Alas! When your mother dies, what will I do?"

"Humph! You didn't force it, poor my mother!"

Ding Shujiao walked out of the house and went straight to her mother's side, she tore off a piece of cloth from the placket, gently closed her mother's eyes, and wiped the blood on her head.

"Mother, you really shouldn't be! What's the matter with you, you're looking for me! Why are you bothered? ”

Seeing Ding Shujiao go out, Ding Yuxi also followed.

Seeing that the door was crowded with people, Jin Er's grandmother stretched her neck to look in, and walked over.

"What do you see? Who hasn't died! Then, she closed the courtyard gate with a "bang".

buried her mother, Ding Shujiao swore that she would no longer give her father money, he could force her mother to a desperate situation, just rush this point, he doesn't deserve to care about her asking for money anymore, for Ding Shujiao, her mother is gone, and her home is gone.

She only had one thing left.

Hate!

She hates everyone!

Including herself.
