Ding Jun frowned as anger rose in her heart. She looked at Mother Ding and said in a sharp voice, "Mother!"
"Chen Zhijun just lost his wife. Not only are you not understanding him, but you are also in a hurry to introduce him to another marriage. She's my biological sister! Do you take pride in marrying both daughters to the Chen family?"
Ding Jun's gaze was like a sharp sword, and her words were merciless. She was really a little angry. She was a little tired of Mother Ding's greedy face, which was displayed regardless of the occasion! It was disgusting!
Mother Ding did not dare to look into Ding Jun's eyes, but she was also unwilling to accept it. She looked at Ding Jun and scolded, "Aiyo, what are you saying? If I could rely on you, do I still have to get Ding Ling to marry into a good family and give me some dowry money?"
"It's fine if you are a traitor after marriage, but now that I want to marry Ding Ling, do you have the right to speak? Your brother still has to rely on Ding Ling for his marriage! Why don't you come and pay for the four big items!"
"Moreover, Chen Zhijun also wants to have a son! Even if he doesn't marry Ding Ling, he will marry someone else! What's wrong with letting Ding Ling marry into the family? You just can't stand seeing me do well! Are you trying to anger me to death?!" Mother Ding became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her hands were on her hips, and her face was red as she spoke. Her saliva sprayed out as she scolded.
Fortunately, this was their family's backyard. Otherwise, if others heard it, they would really see through the family's dirty laundry and laugh their heart out.
Ding Jun frowned and took a deep breath. She felt suffocated. She could not make sense of Mother Ding at all, so she could only leave angrily. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Mother Chen just as she returned to the courtyard of the Chen family's main residence.
Thinking of what Ding Ling had said, Ding Jun realized that Mother Ding might have spoken to Mother Chen. She felt a little awkward. Ding Jun stepped forward and lowered her head. "Mother, did my mother say something to you? Don't take it to heart. She's like that."
Mother Chen sighed softly and looked at Ding Jun with a complicated expression, she waved her hand. "It's nothing. I really need to find a new wife for Zhijun. It's just that Ding Ling isn't suitable. I've asked the village matchmakers to ask around recently."
With that said, Mother Chen left the house and started chatting with the other aunties in the village.
The aunties kept saying something like 'leave it to me'. Mother Chen thanked them profusely.
A complicated expression flashed across Ding Jun's eyes. She only felt a chill in her heart. Zhijun's wife had just died and was in the middle of a funeral. Was it already time to find a new wife for Chen Zhijun? Ding Jun narrowed her eyes. She felt a huge stone pressing down on her heart. It was so heavy that she could not breathe.
The funeral ended and the crowd dispersed. Ding Jun returned home, somewhat absent-minded. When she thought of Zhijun's wife, she felt a wave of powerlessness and sorrow, and her mood naturally became heavy.
Chen Zhiguo served a few bowls of meat and vegetables left over from the day. He looked at Ding Jun and sensed that something was wrong with her. The expression on her face was somewhat sad and sorrowful.
Chen Zhiguo frowned and sat next to her. He put his arm around her shoulder and said gently, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Ding Jun came back to her senses and looked at Chen Zhiguo. Her tone was calm with a bit of confusion. "Zhiguo, mother is already making arrangements for Zhijun to marry a new wife."
Chen Zhiguo paused for a moment. He seemed to understand why Ding Jun felt sad and disappointed. He went forward and squatted in front of Ding Jun. he held Ding Jun's hands with both hands, he looked at her gently. "Little Jun, there's nothing we can do. After all, Zhijun's two children are still young and need someone to take care of them. Mother can't look after them alone. Zhijun also needs a woman to take care of him."
