"Mom, how much money do you have now?" Ding Ming pretended to be pitiful and said.

"Mom really doesn't have any money. If Mom had money, she would definitely have to pay the property fee this month. Fortunately, my mother works in the property, otherwise our family is only afraid that this will happen, and the water and electricity will be cut off. ”

"Not even five thousand?"

"Nope."

"And how much money do you have?"

"A little over five hundred. I told your daughter-in-law yesterday that there is no money. Your daughter-in-law just paid her salary yesterday, and when she came back from work, she gave me 500 to pay the utility bills and buy vegetables. ”

"It's been like this in this life, it's really been eight lifetimes of blood mold!" Ding Ming cursed, "I don't even have the capital to return to my capital, how can I live this day?!" Seeing good fortune slip away from me, there is no way! ”

"Son, don't go to loan sharks!"

"Got it, got it." Ding Ming said impatiently. He turned around and was about to go upstairs.

Ding Ming and his daughter-in-law lived upstairs and slept with bean sprouts; Ding Dagang and Su Li live downstairs.

"Son, listen to your mother, don't mess with your daughter-in-law in the middle of the night, right? She's not easy enough. Don't scare the kids. Su Li suppressed her throat and admonished.

"Got it, got it." Ding Ming said impatiently.

Su Li didn't dare to go into the house. She stood at the entrance of the stairs, listening intently to the movement upstairs.

The sound of Ding Ming "rubbing" upstairs, the sound of Ding Ming opening the door, and the sound of Ding Ming closing the door. After that, there was no movement.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief and walked to her bedroom. Halfway down the road, I heard a scream from upstairs. Su Li panicked, and ran upstairs with three steps and two steps.

Ding Dagang rushed out of the house barefoot and shouted, "What's wrong?!" What's wrong?! Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Where are you?! ”

Su Li didn't have time to answer, so she wanted to rush into Ding Ming's room - the door was locked and couldn't be opened.

In the room, the sound of ping-pong, the crying of children, the screams of women, and the cursing of men sounded at the same time.

Su Li regretted that her intestines were blue. She shouldn't have let her son go upstairs to sleep. She knew that her son was gambling and that her daughter-in-law had paid her salary, so she would definitely ask for money.

"Son, if you have something to say, don't do it!" Su Li was so anxious that she was about to cry, and knocked on the door.

Ding Dagang heard the movement and also went upstairs. He saw Su Liguang stomping his feet at the door and shouted, "Why don't you go find the room key yet?!" Stupid! ”

"Oh, oh." Su Li hurriedly ran downstairs to find a spare key.

Ding Dagang went over, took over the job of knocking on the door of his daughter-in-law, and shouted loudly: "Ding Ming, let me tell you." If you dare to touch one of your daughter-in-law's fingers, I'll chop off all your fingers! ”

shouted downstairs again: "Stinky woman, hurry up for me!" ”

Su Li found the key, and when she picked it up, she panicked and fell to the ground again. Fortunately, it was far away, and Ding Dagang couldn't listen; Otherwise, it's another scolding. She quickly picked it up and ran upstairs.

Ding Dagang took the key and opened the door.

The room was a mess. The things on the table were swept to the floor. The clothes in the cupboard were also pulled out.

Ding Ming pointed to his daughter-in-law's nose and asked, "Say, where did you hide your things?" ”

Su Li glanced at her daughter-in-law, and saw her squatting in the corner, her clothes disheveled, her hair unkempt, but there were no scars on her face, and there were no scars on the exposed places as far as her eyes could see.

There should have been pulling, but there was no hands-on fighting.

Ding Ming's daughter-in-law Sun Ting hugged her son tightly and comforted him softly: "The bean sprouts are fine, the bean sprouts are fine, mom is here, mom is ......"

The child, soothed by his mother, slowly stopped crying and sobbed quietly. Seeing Ding Dagang and them, the bean sprouts cried again, came over and hugged Ding Dagang's legs, and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm afraid of my father!" ”

Ding Dagang bent down and picked up his precious grandson. He is not good to anyone, but he can't spoil this grandson. Every day when I go out for a walk, I will bring good food to this grandson when I come home. Sun Ting said many times that he couldn't give snacks to his children. Ding Dagang didn't listen, and he bought it correctly. When you have money, buy a pack of shrimp crackers for 30 yuan; When you don't have any money, buy cat ears for two dollars and a tael.

Bean sprouts also like this grandfather the most. This grandfather picks his nose and eyes at everyone, but he is always kind to himself, and everything follows himself and is used to himself.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Ding Dagang yelled at his son.

"I asked my daughter-in-law for money. I have no money. When Ding Ming saw his father, he was a little scared. He was naughty when he was a child, and Ding Dagang never relented when he beat him, and once broke a stick with a thick finger. He still has palpitations.

"Don't you have no hands or feet yourself? If you run out of money, won't you earn it yourself? What's the matter with asking your daughter-in-law? Recently, you have been sleeping during the day, going out in the afternoon, and coming back in the middle of the night. What have you been up to? Ding Dagang asked.

Ding Ming was silent.

Su Li winked at her daughter-in-law, hoping that she would not be exposed.

Sun Ting didn't hear it. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and spoke: "Dad, Ding Ming has bet." ”

"What?" Ding Dagang thought he had misheard.

"Dad, Ding Ming has been gambling for several weeks. After he quit his last job, he gambled. He lost, almost 200,000 less. ”

"Sun Ting, what nonsense are you talking about? Where does Ming have so much money? Su Li said urgently.

He took away the jade Guanyin that his aunt gave to the bean sprouts full moon. Also, the gold bracelet that my grandmother gave me as a gift for the meeting was also lost. ”

"What about the other things?" Su Li panicked. Ding Xiang's two families, as well as his mother-in-law, have given their daughters-in-law and grandsons a lot of good things over the years, including gold, silver and jade. I thought that I could use it as a last resort for emergency, but I was targeted by my own son.

"I didn't see it right, I hid it. No, Ding Ming is crazy and looking for it. Sun Ting stroked her hair and said.

In the past few months, she has become more and more disappointed day by day, and now her heart is cold. This man is simply unreliable. I also blamed myself for wanting to take a shortcut, but I put myself in it.

"That's good, that's good!" Su Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Dagang heard it and was furious. His gaze swept around the room like radar, trying to find something to beat his son.

Ding Ming saw that his father's expression was wrong, and rushed out of the door like a monkey.

"Grandson, where are you going?!" Ding Dagang put down the bean sprouts, bent down to pick up a thick book, and smashed it at Ding Ming.

"Grandpa, your grandson is here. That's my dad! The corner of the bean sprouts Latin Dagang's clothes, milky voice, said.

Ding Dagang was stunned.

Ding Ming had already gone downstairs. The book fell behind him, fell down the stairs, and slid several steps before stopping.

Five seconds later, there was the sound of the door opening and closing.

"Sun Ting, it's all bad. He has recently been lost to the gambling demon and lost his mind, and you must not dare to give up on him. He has a good nature, he just wants to make more money for your mother and son, and he took a detour in a hurry. Su Li walked over and comforted Sun Ting. She was afraid that Sun Ting would divorce her son.

"Don't worry, I won't divorce Ding Ming. I can live without him as a husband, but children still need a father. I'll just take him-" Sun Ting said this, and paused, she wanted to say "dead", thinking that her parents-in-law were in front of her, it was not appropriate to say this; She changed her words and said, "I'll just pull the child alone." Anyway, there are also your two elders to help you. ”

"Good boy, it's best if you think like that. Our Ding family is grateful to you. Our Ding family is blessed to marry a good daughter-in-law like you. Su Li said sincerely.

"Mom, Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you. If we continue like this, it will certainly not be the way. We spend more money and less money, we can't make ends meet, and the property fee alone drags us to death. Sun Ting said.

"And what do you mean?" Su Li asked.

"I mean, can we sell this house and get a smaller one? In this way, the extra money can also be used as capital. Didn't Ding Ming and his father shout all day long that they had no capital to start a business? Sun Ting said.

Ding Dagang walks around every day with his hands in his hands, looking for investment projects.

Su Li hesitated and said, "This house was bought by your aunts and uncles with money to honor your grandmother, you know?" Because of this, several aunts and uncles had a disturbance in their families. ”

As soon as Sun Ting heard it, she understood. She was silent for a while, and then said, "Mom, Dad, go to sleep." It's okay. Ding Ming will definitely not come back if he goes out at this point. ”

Bean sprouts will, yawning widely.

Ding Dagang went out with his hands behind his back.

"Good boy, you're right, if this continues, our family will definitely be ruined. We think long-term, think long-term. You and the sprouts have a good rest, a good rest. Su Li's eyes darkened and she said.

She exited the room and helped bring the door to her.

Ding Dagang went downstairs and sat in the living room with a cold face.

Su Li hurriedly went back to the house, brought Ding Dagang's slippers, and put them on for him.

Ding Dagang spoke: "When did you find out that he was gambling?" ”

"Also, it didn't take long, just these two days!"

"Huh?"

"It's been two weeks. He asked me for money. ”

"Did you give him the money?"

"Nope. Where do I get my money? ”

"Didn't your baby son get the money yet? What's going on today? Why did he get into trouble with his daughter-in-law? ”

"His daughter-in-law paid her salary yesterday......"

"Bastard thing! I really don't understand how my Ding Dagang, who has been wise all his life, could give birth to such a foolish thing! ”

"Husband, you are angry. Let's go to sleep first. Tomorrow I thought about it, and called my aunt to come over. ”

"Why did you call my eldest sister over?"

"If it goes on like this, it's definitely not the way to go. I'll have to talk to her about it. ”

"Are you stupid? If she says sell the house, then where do we live? Do you have our share of the money from the sale? We didn't pay a penny! ”

"Husband, I have a good idea." Su Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought about it.

"What can you do?" Ding Dagang said politely.
