Chapter 192 Hatred of Injustice
Ding Zhao took the 12,000 taels of silver he received as a gift for moving and the remaining 3,000 taels of silver to buy the shop and gave them to Ding Zhuang.
Ding Zhuang did not accept it, "Those gifts are for your house, just keep it. I will keep 5,000 taels of silver from the sale of Mi Zhi Xiang as a private house, as a filial piety to you and Xiang Xiang. I I spent two hundred and twenty taels to buy those two hills, just give me the money."
"Thank you, dad." Ding Zhao took two banknotes and two ingots of silver to Ding Zhuang.
Ding Zhuang put away the banknotes and said with emotion, "My biggest wish before was to save enough money to redeem An An's bracelet, save more money to let my grandson take the imperial examination and marry a wife, and save a lot of dowry for Xiangxiang." . I didn’t expect so many things to happen in the past two years, and I suddenly became extremely rich. This was all brought about by Xiangxiang.
"Chizi, that beast, call him stupid, but he spotted Xiangxiang correctly. Call him smart, since he saw that Xiangxiang and his wife are a blessing, even if he just lies at home and does nothing, what can he do in heaven? What a waste. Why is he messing around and hurting others and himself? I don’t know where he is now..."
No matter how angry he was with his second son, he still remembered him in his heart.
Ding Zhao explained, "With Tang's side by his side, Chizi will be fine. He might come back one day."
Ding Zhuang's eyes bulged and he said harshly, "If he dares to come back, see if I won't stomp on him."
The next day when Ding Xiang woke up, her grandfather, father, and brothers were all gone, and the east courtyard was quiet.
After breakfast, she took a mule cart with Zhang and Ling'er to Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop in the county town, and brought gifts from her family and Qin Hai to Guo Shoubei's family, and gifts to Ding Shuniang's family, Ding Sifu, and Gong.
Ding Lilai also quietly asked Ding Xiang something. Ding Lilai didn't dare to take the initiative to go to his grandma's house if no one came to pick him up. Ding Zhuang would beat him. This time he got a lot of gifts. He wanted to give his grandma a pack of snacks and his little cousin some rare gadgets. He asked Ding Xiang to ask the clerk from Jiulu Shop to go to Tang's house.
It was agreed yesterday that Ms. Xie would take Ding Zhen to the county seat to see her son and grandson, and they would go together on a screw cart.
As soon as they left, Ding Sanfu, who was playing on the roadside, ran home.
He said to Mrs. Wang, "Mom, the second aunt and Ding Xiang went to the county town, and they must have given good things to the fourth rich man. Huh, I really don't know how the fourth old man coaxed the second house to be so good. Good things are only given to him. One person was raised to be as white and fat as a landlord’s son.”
Wang's face was gloomy.
She heard that the second bedroom gave the third bedroom a lot of good things yesterday, including a big basket of clothes and food. But he only gave me a pack of snacks and a pack of dried shrimps, and a few feet of fine cloth to make clothes for my father-in-law and my husband.
It's true that the richer you are, the worse you are, and your brothers have to be divided into different ranks. She guessed that the gifts given to Zhang's natal family must be heavier than her own.
Ding Zhao was kicked in the head by a donkey. His father-in-law was his mother-in-law, and his surname was Zhang. And since their surname is Ding, they are a family.
She told her father-in-law and the man, but the father-in-law would just squat down and sulk. The man also scolded her for having a bad mouth and offending others, saying that she had offended her second wife.
Mrs. Wang made up her mind to go to the county town tomorrow to see her fourth son and bring him back if there was anything good.
The second rich man started running escorts with others this year, and he will definitely be successful in the future. But that kid was too naughty and never told the truth to his family. People say that you can make a lot of money by running escorts, but when he came back from a trip, he only gave his family two taels of silver, and said that was all he had.
Although the fourth rich man is lame, he has won the favor of his second wife and will not need to worry about marrying a wife or building a house in the future.
Only the rich and the three rich are pitiful.
Especially the rich man, who doesn't talk much and does all the work at home. He is not like the third rich man who likes to fight and make trouble. He is better than the slippery second rich man.
But why didn't the second wife help him? He was sixteen years old and hadn't even found a wife yet...
Wang was very sad. She gave birth to four sons in one breath and was envied by everyone at the time. Her parents-in-law and men also praised her from time to time. But now, her family's life is not as good as that of Ding Zhao, who has only two sons, but even that sick man Ding Qin.
Seeing that my mother was speechless, Ding Sanfu became anxious.
He shouted with bulging eyes, "Mom, the fourth rich man has worked for more than a year and hasn't earned enough money. When will I get the money to marry my wife? That little cripple has also imitated the second child and hid his secrets."
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and cursed, "Fart, don't say that to your brother. The fourth rich man made money when he was just seven years old. What about you? At the age of twelve, there is nothing to do except fight and make trouble. Ding Youshou's family is running away. I'm telling you, Ding Youshou is as bad as Mr. Hao, I don't want to sell you one day."
Ding Sanfu said, "Uncle San is not as bad as Mr. Hao."
The third uncle now feeds himself and the whole family. When he goes to his house, he sometimes eats meat, drinks wine, and listens to his dirty talk. The third uncle also said that as long as he promised to break pots for him in the future, he would always treat himself well...
On the screw cart, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang were talking about Mrs. Wang.
"Because the second uncle and Zhaozi are getting better and better, Mrs. Wang feels that her worth has also risen, and she has become more and more interested in telling the rich that she is a wife. A while ago, she actually invited a matchmaker to Zhao Lizheng's house to ask for his wife. The third daughter.
"Ouch, how dare she think about it. The Zhao family refused because there were two evil women in her family. We all know that the Zhao family was unwilling not only because her family had Hao and... but also looked down upon her family's poverty, Ding Rich people have no future."
No matter what she did, she would not dare to say the words "Ding Xia" openly.
Zhao Li is from the inner village of Nanquan Village. His three daughters are beautiful and hard-working. Like Ding Zhen, they are the most popular girls within dozens of miles around. Many young people want to marry her.
Neither Zhang nor Ding Xiang expected that Wang's vision was so high.
Ms. Zhang smiled and said, "She really dares to think about it. Just her family... hum."
Mrs. Xie added, "You should be more careful. I think Mrs. Wang has taken a liking to your Zhang Qian again. That time she asked me a lot about your natal family. What she said is that no matter how diligent Zhang Qian is, she is also from the mountains. It’s probably not easy to find a good family outside the mountains..."
Mrs. Zhang frowned and said angrily, "If I don't say that Dafu is slimy and worthless, I would not let Mrs. Wang, a gossipy and annoying mother-in-law, marry into her family.
"Hmph, if she dares to say this, let's see how I can squeeze her. Besides, Qian girl is only ten years old, much younger than Dafu, so she is not in a hurry to propose marriage."
Madam Zhang not only disliked Madam Wang and Ding Dafu, but also despised Dingshan and Ding Youcai, but she couldn't tell them clearly.
Xie smiled and said to Ding Xiang, "Thank you Xiangxiang for bringing so many good things to your sister. I asked Qinzi's wife to make a winter coat and a pair of shoes for your father and you."
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "I have clothes and shoes, so I won't bother my fourth aunt."
"What you have is yours."
Mrs. Zhang was not polite and said with a smile, "The clothes are so tight that I can make her a cotton-padded jacket and trousers."
Zhao's hands are skillful, and the cotton-padded jackets she makes are thick and soft, much better than those made by herself.
Xie smiled and agreed, "Okay, let's make another pair of cotton shoes."
