Chapter two hundred and twentieth: Gambling is not good
After all this trouble, the whole house was still silent until dinner time.
It was not completely silent, but Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang looked at each other in silence, and did not dare to say anything again, for fear that they would say something unpleasant and make their aunt angry.
Ding Limei and Ding Haihu, on the other hand, were chattering to themselves in low voices. Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang were sitting next to them, feeling their faces dull.
Not only was it dull, but my heart was also filled with hairiness.
Especially Ding Haiyang, he always loves face the most, but today he was exposed at the eldest sister's house. Now the brothers and sisters are whispering, they must be talking about him...
Thinking of this, his expression turned even more ugly when he looked at Bai Xiujuan.
His sister was right. How could he have been so unlucky to marry this woman for eight lifetimes? Over the years, he has been doing well except serving the family, but he has no brains at all!
but……
Alas, now that old things are brought up again, Ding Haiyang feels a little resentful in his heart.
What's the use of raising a girl movie?
They have grown so old, but they have not enjoyed any blessings. Instead, they have given their parents a feast during the Chinese New Year. If that son had really been born...
Alas! Then I will have a wife now.
…
But Ding Haiyang is not stupid if he thinks so.
In those days, life was not as good as it is now. If you and your wife lost your job because of the birth of a son, you would probably have to eat rice bran by now.
It's a pity. Looking at his genes, a girl can go to Ming Dynasty with any care. If he was really a boy at that time, he would not be able to go abroad now?
After thinking about it for a long time, he thought that Bai Xiujuan didn't know how to handle things, which made his sister angry.
Over the years, he, as a younger brother, had nothing to do with his sister. The eldest sister's family was in good condition, and she could get any good things back if she let go.
It's better now, not only don't you take anything, but you also ask for money for that girl's movie.
The eldest sister is really getting older. The older she gets, the softer her heart becomes. She doesn’t want to think about her brother. Even if the girl is well fed and fed now, won’t she still belong to him when she gets married?
He works hard every day and treats himself better. What's wrong?
But thinking about it, if he was asked to say these words, he would never dare to say them.
…
Ding Haiyang felt depressed at the moment and sat there with a sullen face and said nothing.
In my aunt's family, my uncle Zhou Lei is naturally better at craftsmanship, but he rarely does it.
After all, they think Bai Xiujuan is not good at doing things now. In fact, in order to get some benefits from the eldest sister's family, she comes to visit during the New Year and festivals, and she often shows off her cooking skills to show off her cooking skills.
It's just that she was not given this opportunity this year.
Today, during the Chinese New Year, my uncle is cooking in the kitchen, and at the same time he is muttering to the aunt who is helping him that this younger brother is not doing things properly.
In the past, her uncle would not take the initiative to tell her eldest sister these things. After all, his wife was good at everything, but she cared a little too much about her natal brother.
But today it was my aunt who brought it up herself. If my uncle said this again, my aunt would actually listen to it in her heart.
At this time in previous years, it would be enough for one person in the family to cook, and the rest would either chat, watch TV, or play mahjong. Today, the atmosphere was a mess.
After my uncle talked about his brother-in-law's family, he sighed: "You said that you, who is celebrating the New Year, can't talk about anything properly? This makes the whole house unhappy."
The aunt threw the green onion in her hand on the chopping board.
"Say it well? This isn't the first time I've said it! I was worried about face and didn't say much before, so I just took the sister-in-law and asked her to provide more living expenses for the child."
"But now it's better to listen to each of their families!"
"Weiwei is such a good girl, and the couple looks like this, they don't feel bad at all."
"OK OK……"
Her uncle advised her: "It's not a problem just to be anxious here. Children also have their own abilities. Just watch them more carefully in the future. The children are all here for the Chinese New Year today, so don't let them watch the joke."
Auntie took a deep breath and knew that what Lao Zhou said was right.
It’s Chinese New Year, so I don’t want to have such conflicts. So I took the kitchen knife and chopped the green onions, and said awkwardly:
"Then can I not know?"
…
Not long after, the meal was ready.
As expected, my uncle Liang Dazhi was very nervous about making money, so he called him before the meal was almost ready, and he came back just as everyone was sitting down.
After all, they also have a daughter studying abroad, and everyone is used to the couple being able to work together, so naturally they didn't say much and just said a few polite words before going to the table.
During this Chinese New Year, the table is full of hard dishes, and those who look at it are very appetizing. After all, for the aunt, if she is angry, she has to cook the prepared dishes, right?
There was a large table full of dishes. She looked unhappy, but she still said hello:
"Okay, let's eat."
…
As soon as this order came out.
Ding Haiyang and Bai Xiujuan, as if they had been granted amnesty, quickly arranged their dishes and chopsticks diligently.
Of course, this kind of work was done by Bai Xiujuan. Ding Haiyang considered himself a man and would never touch the work of these women.
The aunt called Xuanxuan:
"Xuanxuan, go call your sister and your brother to come out for dinner."
Xuanxuan has been impatient for a long time!
Alas, lousy junior high school students also have human rights.
What a pity it would be to not let yourself show up when things like this happen.
Sister Weiwei is so powerful, she originally thought she could watch a big battle.
After calling Zhou Haitao and Ding Wei out, she sat neatly between her brothers and sister, trying not to lose any first-hand information this time.
…
No one cared about the little girl's little thoughts. The big guys seemed as if what happened just now didn't happen. Their faces were full of harmony. Those who needed to drink drank at the table, and those who needed to use chopsticks picked up their chopsticks.
Ding Wei felt sad, but this was what she expected. Fortunately, she would be able to live a quieter life in the future, which was worth it.
Uncle Zhou Lei has always had some authority in the family. Now he gave Ding Haiyang a drink and advised him with sincerity:
"Ocean, don't blame me, my brother-in-law, for talking about you, but there are some things that I have to explain to you clearly."
"What do we as parents want to do with our lives? Isn't it just to ensure that our children can live a good life? It's not that the old couple will eat rice bran at home and provide the children with gold and silver, but you can't turn things upside down, right?"
Second uncle Liang Dazhi came back late and didn't know what was going on here. He was stunned for a moment. Hearing the meaning of these words, his eyes couldn't help but look at Ding Haiyang, and then he couldn't help but look at Ding Haiyang.
Wei.
But he was a grown man, so he didn't notice that Ding Wei's clothes were not well made, so he just had an idea -
"That's right, Brother Ding, your belt and leather shoes are quite expensive, didn't you tell me? We don't lack them at home. We spend some money to dress up our daughter... Look at Weiwei's whole body, how come this cotton-padded jacket is still a
Where’s the black one? There’s not even a single flower on the head!”
Little girls should dress up in a colorful way!
As he spoke, my uncle couldn't help but take a sip of wine - well, the wine at Brother Zhou's house is good.
And couldn’t help but show off her daughter:
"Our Ruirui is over there, and we even bought a crystal hairpin for her mother. Meizi, why didn't you bring it with you today?"
Ding Limei was speechless. She couldn't help but glare at her husband - why is he so incapable of looking at his eyes?
However, Ding Wei coughed a little at this moment.
Zhou Haitao couldn't help but ask: "Sister, are you choking?"
Ding Wei's face was a little distorted, and she waved her hands at this moment: "It's okay, it's okay, if I'm not careful... I'll drink some water."
I never expected that my uncle is quite powerful.
Zhou Haitao was watching from the side, why did he feel that the corners of his sister's mouth were a little crooked?
…
But when my brother-in-law said this, everyone couldn't help but shift their focus a little bit, and focused on asking about Ruirui's life in Australia.
Fortunately, my uncle Zhou Lei was a leader after all, so his focus was not lost at the moment and he was still staring at Ding Haiyang persistently.
Ding Haiyang couldn't help but also glared at Ding Wei.
However, he was used to being cowardly in the face of everyone's parents, and now he had just encountered the eldest sister's scolding, so he could only respond: "Okay, I understand."
Naturally, my eldest uncle also noticed the insincerity of his words, but he was an adult after all, and he still had to save the face he had to save, so he just had to keep his words to the point.
It's not easy for him to interfere too much in other people's family affairs, right?
So I had a drink with Ding Haiyang and said, "Okay, then, you sir, just remember this and come and have a drink."
…
Seeing that this matter was about to turn around, Ding Haiyang couldn't help but relax. As soon as a mouthful of hot wine entered his mouth, he heard Ding Wei hesitantly telling his aunt:
"Auntie, there are some things that I can't say... Why don't you advise my mother? I won't play the card if I can't..."
As soon as she said this, Bai Xiujuan became anxious.
"You kid, it's hard to find anything to do every day, and your mother can't even play cards at home? You go to school far away from home, and you don't care about how lonely your parents are at home. Why don't you pick and choose when you play cards?
On..."
She finally found a point, and she felt proud this time:
"Sister, look at it, this child was raised by us to be too independent and selfish. Before we did anything, she started worrying about playing cards. What, is she afraid that I will lose money?"
Ding Haiyang has now learned some ideas. As soon as he drank the hot wine, his face turned rosy and he sighed:
"Weiwei, don't worry. Your parents didn't notice this little thing before. You won't have to worry about it in the future. Your mother only has this hobby. Forget it, otherwise she will be bored alone, right?"
Ding Wei felt happy - this little hobby?
Does Ding Wei know what kind of thinking her father Ding Haiyang has? He can spend hundreds of thousands on himself, but if others want to spend his money, how heartbroken will he be?
I'm afraid you don't know at all?
…
The two couples sang in harmony, and the aunt's brows jumped as she listened.
She felt sorry for her brother who didn't want to get angry, so the gunfire went straight towards Bai Xiujuan.
"The child just said one sentence and didn't understand anything. What do you mean you are babbling so much?"
"Also, why do you mean that your children are too young to care about their parents? How old are you? Can't you walk or eat? Why don't I send you to a nursing home later?"
"I've never seen a parent like you. Their children go to such a good school. If nothing else, hang some firecrackers and go to the grave first. That's called the blessing of the ancestors."
"It's good for you. It's as if it was a mistake for your child to go to a good school. With that stinky face, people who don't know would think they're going to your grave."
Bai Xiujuan:......
"puff……"
"Cough cough cough..."
The destructive power of this sentence was simply too great. Everyone present either coughed or choked.
"Li Ping."
My eldest uncle was also a little bit unable to sit still - why did you say this when you are celebrating the Chinese New Year?
My aunt felt very happy.
Seeing the incompetent sister-in-law's face turning pale, her tone finally came out.
God knows how long she held it in.
When I was cooking, I wanted to rush out and beat them both up. Didn't I just listen to Lao Zhou? Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year belong to other people's families, so just bear with it!
But this kind of ninja is a two-person ninja, not a three-ninja thing!
Weiwei just said something. As parents sang along, the big hat was put on the child. A few decades ago, would parents have to send their children in to feel happy?
.
Of course, Auntie couldn't admit it. This was because Weiwei had been sensible and considerate in the past six months, and her mind had drifted a little bit.
…
Auntie's lethality was unparalleled, and Ding Wei was once again in awe.
As soon as these shocking words came out, she almost choked. She choked twice without eating this mouthful of food.
I almost choked with tears, and my eyes were red now.
I asked my aunt to look at her, feeling distressed again.
"Weiwei, tell me, what's going on? I know you're not that kind of person."
How wronged this child is.
"That's it..." Ding Wei raised her head nervously and glanced at Bai Xiujuan cautiously.
As for her acting skills, she gives herself a hundred percent and is not afraid of being proud. She really had too little experience in her previous life, so why not try it in Hengdian?
"Well... when I just came back, I heard the aunt in our courtyard say that my mother lost tens of thousands of dollars playing cards during the few months I went to school..."
"I just feel that this kind of gambling is not a good thing. A small amount of gambling will make you happy and a big amount of gambling will harm your body. If you get addicted to it..."
She didn't finish the rest of her words, but everyone followed this thought and thought - isn't it? If you lose ten thousand now, you can lose one hundred thousand another day. There are many people who are addicted to gambling and have lost everything!
Everyone cast the words "surprised and incredible" in their eyes and projected them on Bai Xiujuan.
Bai Xiujuan's face turned pale, and she trembled and said:
"What are you talking nonsense about? How can it be that there are tens of thousands of dollars? It's only 8,000!"
…
good!
Ding Wei almost wanted to applaud her own mother.
In order to show respect for such a blood relationship, although she didn't express it on her face, she was actually clapping her hands like crazy in her heart.
Mom, yes, that’s great.
Moreover, the aunt in the courtyard said 6,000 yuan, so Ding Wei thought about saying it was a little bigger, which would have a deterrent effect... She never thought that it was still less!
8,000 yuan.
How many months has it been since Ding Wei went to school?
It only takes 4 months for me to play cards and I will lose 8,000 yuan in 4 months. My aunt, who comes from such a good family, can occasionally lose 100 yuan playing mahjong, which is enough to make her feel distressed for two days!
The whole table was shocked.
"Sister-in-law..." Ding Limei was stunned.
"8,000 yuan is enough for Weiwei's tuition for more than a year!"
"yes!"
Liang Dazhi was also trembling, thinking that all the money had been spent playing cards, and he felt extremely painful, as if it was his own hard-earned money.
"Our family Ruirui works in a pizza shop in Australia. She works very hard for only 20 Australian dollars a day!"
…
Ding Haiyang didn't expect it either.
Although he is a chauvinist, he really doesn't worry about the family's money. It's all in the bankbook, and Bai Xiujuan holds it.
But what is the concept of losing 8,000 yuan?
The plum blossom watch he has is only 6,100! His fishing rod is only 1,300!
The aunt put the chopsticks on the table expressionlessly, making a crisp clicking sound when they hit the plate.
Just this small sound made Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang tremble.
Everyone saw the tall and authoritative figure of their eldest sister standing up and stroking her sleeves:
"Damn it, your mother-in-law Bai Xiujuan@##&%..."
…
Before leaving, Ding Wei looked at her younger brother Zhou Haitao who looked at her with a distressed expression, and felt very relieved at this moment:
"Brother Haitao, you must read the information I brought you carefully and do all the papers. I am waiting for you in the Imperial Capital..."
Zhou Haitao's face turned pale and he went back into the house.
His sister is really too cold, and her feelings are wrong after all!
Xuanxuan's face on the side also turned a little pale.
Fortunately, Ding Wei sighed:
"Xuanxuan, I'm looking for information on junior high school, but it's not as easy as looking for information on high school. I'm sorry, I'll collect it for you when I get back to school."
In fact, if she hadn't struck up a relationship with her aunt, she would have forgotten all about it, and naturally couldn't remember that Xuanxuan's grades in junior high school were not that good.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..." Xuanxuan was surprised and scared.
The surprise is that it didn't happen this time, but the fear is that if she follows in the footsteps of Brother Hai Tao in the future, what will happen to her as a scumbag!
But apart from this, Ding Wei brought other gifts.
She rummaged through her backpack and found a shiny crystal hairpin, which she bought out of joy when she and Chen Siyu went to the wholesale market that day.
I think I spent about 40 yuan at that time. The work was really beautiful and the quality was really good. I could have bought two more clothes wholesale for this money. But Ding Wei looks small, but she is a mature urban woman in her heart...
There is nothing rational about women buying jewelry.
I bought it without hesitation.
But there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and Bai Shanshan often gave them small gifts. The nobleman bought them and put them there and then forgot about them. It happened that the labels had not yet been removed, so he could give them to his little sister.
No matter how smart Xuanxuan is, she is still a junior high school girl. Her elder sister just rushed home during the Chinese New Year. In her mind, she must have really worked hard to work.
I haven’t seen her. Sister Ruirui sounds so good abroad. Doesn’t she still have to work in a pizza shop?
So this little crystal hairpin was marked with 169 yuan, which really frightened her.
She was also moved.
She squeezed the hairpin in her hand and promised Ding Wei:
"Sister, don't worry, I will help you get news about your uncle and the others at home. If they have any bad thoughts towards you, I will tell you right away."
Ding Wei was also very moved.
"Good sister!"
Then he quickly left her his cell phone number.
The eldest aunt is good to her, but the eldest aunt is better to her brother Ding Haiyang.
Sometimes, there is some news that she might not necessarily tell this child. On the contrary, Xuanxuan is smart and lovable at home. She often visits this house and that house, and maybe he can help her at any time.
Woolen cloth!
Ding Wei admitted that after being immersed in society for many years, she was still not as sincere as the children.
…
When something like this happened, Lao Ding's original career in playing mahjong as an amateur was naturally delayed.
Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang were kicked out by their aunt in disgrace, and their lives became gloomy.
Auntie's fighting ability should not be underestimated. At first, she only thought it was a family matter, so she could just beat it on her own, or at worst, curse a few more times to make them pay attention.
But now it seems that this is about to become a big deal, and she even gave Bai Xiujuan an ultimatum:
"Your brother-in-law is right. How can anyone ask their children to eat rice bran vegetables these days? Listen to me, Weiwei gives 1,000 a month for living expenses. With that money, you can feed your daughter well and drink well, which is no better than playing cards at home.
"
He had already said when she first scolded her that if Bai Xiujuan did not listen to her advice again, she would bring the matter to Bai Xiujuan's work unit and her parents' home.
The employer would definitely not fire her, but it would be enough to disgrace her.
Bai Xiujuan knew in her heart that her aunt did have the courage to do what she said, and as her sister-in-law was disgraced, others would probably feel wronged by Ding Haiyang for having a gambler's daughter-in-law... Her aunt was even more dissatisfied.
I will be worried.
I couldn't help but shed tears at this moment, but I finally shed them anyway.
…
My aunt was very happy.
She had already scolded her a lot, and this time it was an outright scolding. Bai Xiujuan's whole face was trampled under her feet, and Ding Haiyang was also dissatisfied, which made her feel scared.
If you think about it carefully, losing 8,000 yuan in 4 months is indeed quite scary. After all, they are all working-class people. In 4 months, Bai Xiujuan's salary is only 8,000 yuan.
Ding Wei never expected that although she had already made preparations to find her aunt for support, she did not expect that the right time, place and people were so favorable that just a few days after returning, her living expenses would go from the reluctant 600 to 600 as a last resort.
1000!
Although for her, she no longer cares about living expenses.
But how to say it?
She was happy when she could get money from her parents, no matter whether she spent it or not, she felt happy just looking at it.
But at this moment, she said goodbye to her siblings, but her eyes were red and she looked sad.
It was obvious that I was heartbroken by these irresponsible parents.
But Ding Wei thought in her heart: Today is only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year...
She even had an honest reason ""
"Auntie, I'll change my ticket and leave tonight."
"It just so happens that work is about to start in that training class. If you go early, you can get more overtime pay."
She looked like she was holding back her grief: "I won't annoy people at home anymore..."
After speaking, he warned: "Auntie, brother Haitao is really blessed to have a mother like you. You must keep an eye on his studies! The environment in the imperial capital is still different from that in our small city. Boy,
There must be such a broad space for development!”
The aunt also felt more and more sorry for her. She was originally going to persuade her that her parents would definitely change, but her words took another turn.
Now he sighed and said: "Okay, you go ahead, but from now on you will get the salary yourself, don't be stupid and buy this and that for your family... Do you hear that? Your parents are rich and they don't need you.
In this regard, you just have to find a way to live a good life for yourself."
Ding Wei nodded aggrievedly.
At this moment, the ordinary black down jacket and plain ponytail could not block the youthful charm of the young girl. The aunt felt the beauty of her niece belatedly, and she couldn't bear it anymore, but she still couldn't bear it.
He warned:
"Those who come from your school will have good prospects in the future. If there is a boy in school that you can talk to, the two of you can have a chat..."
Otherwise, with such good conditions, Weiwei would really be at a disadvantage if she stayed in this small place. With such a parent, she would definitely not be able to provide for him properly.
A girl's youth only lasts a few years, wouldn't it be better to seize it?
Ding Wei:……
The topic changed because she was not a professional actor, so she couldn't change her mood at the same time!
But she knew how to make her aunt stand more firmly on her side.
Thinking of the aunt in her previous life who tirelessly worried about her marriage and introduced various partners, Ding Wei also nodded seriously:
"Auntie, I know that although my parents definitely don't agree with me staying in the imperial capital or finding a partner from other places, but..."
She was a little embarrassed:
"My classmates' families are in pretty good condition. If I do find a job in the imperial capital then... Brother Haitao will go over there and look for a job, take the civil service exam or something..."
"Maybe I can be of some help..."
Auntie's eyes suddenly lit up.
After all, she was an elder, so there were some things she couldn’t say, so she just held Ding Wei’s hand:
"You are just a kid. Don't worry so much. If you really want a suitable boy, what if he lives in the Imperial City? Isn't life in the Imperial City better than here? Don't be afraid. I will take care of your parents' work when the time comes.
Do!"
Alas, the houses in the Imperial Capital are now thousands of square meters, but they only cost 800 yuan here. If you really find a house in the Imperial Capital, you can have a house and your family will not have to worry about food and drink!
If the conditions are good, then Haitao will go to school, or take the civil service examination or something...
Whenever my aunt thinks about this possibility, she can't help but smile on her face.
But after all, she still had to be reserved and maintain her elders' demeanor. At this moment, she could only hold back her smile and told her again:
"Wait a moment, Auntie has something for you."
He turned around and entered the bedroom. He covered his mouth first and was happy about his imagined future for two minutes. Then he calmed down and stuffed the red envelope with another pile of money into it.
"Take it, go to school and take good care of yourself..."
After some business entanglement between the two, Ding Wei finally reluctantly accepted the red envelope.
Alas, the sincerity of this adult is really overwhelming!
Ding Wei thought about her aunt's expression just now, and she already had something in her mind.
——Brother Haitao, there are still a few months left before the college entrance examination. My sister will be urging you all the time. You must do your best. You must be admitted to the Imperial Capital this time no matter what!
Sister is definitely going to pull you out!
Think about it, what information is there that has not been collected?
Do you need two more sets of papers?
Brother Haitao barely managed to get through the second line in his last life. This time, she didn't ask for anything. She just wanted to live a more stable and high-level life in the first line, so that she could apply for a school in the imperial capital!
This touching blood relationship!
Ding Wei became more and more motivated.
That night, she boarded the train again with her once again empty suitcase, her generous New Year's money and the thousand yuan that Bai Xiujuan reluctantly gave her.
