Mother Ding thought that if Mother Chen did not agree to let her daughter marry Chen Zhijun, she could start with Chen Zhijun and his two children.
Chen Zhijun was not young anymore. If he decided to marry Ding Ling, then Mother Chen would have no choice no matter how much she objected. Thinking of this, Mother Ding's eyes lit up and she quickly went out to look for Ding Ling.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Ding Ling frowned and resisted Mother Ding.
Mother Ding tugged at Ding Ling's wrist with one hand and looked around. "Just come with me. I have something to tell you."
Ding Ling's wrist was hurting from the grip. She was a little reluctant and was pulled to the side by Mother Ding. The last time she stole 10 yuan from where mother Ding hid the money, Mother Ding still had not discovered it. She had been doing well at school, but when she heard that the Chen family was the one handling the funeral, she had no choice but to come back reluctantly. After all, Ding Jun and Chen Zhiguo were her brother-in-law, so she still had to rely on them for her tuition fees.
"Mom, where are you taking me?" Ding Ling frowned and looked at Mother Ding with suspicion.
Mother Ding shushed her and looked around. She lowered her voice and said, "I'm going to see Chen Zhijun. He's definitely not in a good mood."
Ding Ling's eyes were filled with a complicated look. She realized something and said unhappily, "Why are you looking for him? I'm not very close to him. If you want to go, you can go yourself."
Ding Ling's mother turned her head and glared at Ding Ling. "If I tell you to go, then go. There's nothing bad about marrying Chen Zhijun. As long as you give birth to a son, you can be the housekeeper! The betrothal gift money will definitely be a lot!"
Ding Ling was stunned. There was some anger burning in her eyes. It was another marriage! Ding Ling's mother had arranged marriage for her every day. This time, she actually wanted her to become a stepmother!
"Aiyo, Zhijun, what a coincidence. You're here too?" Before Ding Ling's mother finished her sentence, she saw Chen Zhijun passing by with his two girls. She immediately changed her tone and looked at Chen Zhijun with a bright smile.
Ding Ling lowered her head and did not resist. The expression on her face was still unhappy.
Chen Zhijun's eyes were a little red and swollen. He saw that the eyes of the two girls were a little wooden. "Hey, Auntie, Little Ling, why are you here?"
The corners of Mother Ding's mouth curled up into a smile. She hurriedly pulled on Ding Ling, she pushed her to the front. "Little Ling said that she saw these two girls when she came to the Chen family previously. Now that their mother is gone, she's a little worried that the two girls won't be able to cope and wants to come over to take a look."
Mother Ding's spoke as if she did not see the two little girls crying until their eyes were red and swollen. Hearing this, Chen Zhijun frowned and held the two girls' hands tightly. The two little girls' tears came out again.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Ding Jun walked out of the courtyard. Seeing this scene, she felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Mother Ding raised her eyebrows and looked at Ding Jun with hostility. "It's nothing. Can't I talk to Zhijun?"
The Ding family had come to participate in the Chen family's funeral today. Ding Jun treated Mother Ding politely according to etiquette. However, Mother Ding's attitude towards Ding Jun had not been good all day. It was as if she had seen some enemy. She spoke in a bad tone.
Ding Jun narrowed her eyes and looked at Ding Ling who was being forcefully pulled by her mother. She felt a little helpless. "I didn't say that you can't."
Chen Zhijun saw this and smiled at the few of them stiffly. "Then you guys can chat first. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you guys for now."
Ding Jun hurriedly nodded.
After Chen Zhijun left, Mother Ding still held onto Ding Ling's hand and refused to let go. Ding Ling suddenly broke free and hid behind Ding Jun. She accused loudly, "Second sister! That's not true! Mother wants me to marry Chen Zhijun! She said that there must be a lot of betrothal gifts. She said that if Mother Chen doesn't agree, she will go behind her back and start with Chen Zhijun!"
