The next day, Mother Ding was washing clothes in the yard when she saw a woman in foreign clothes walking towards her from afar. She took a closer look and saw that it was Mother Gong. Mother Ding felt a little guilty as she thought of something. Then, she continued to wash her clothes as if nothing had happened.
When Mother Gong came closer, Mother Ding greeted her warmly as if she had just seen her. "Mother-in-law, you're here."
Mother Gong raised her eyebrows and glanced at the still dilapidated courtyard. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes. Mother Gong said politely, "Well, I came to see how the four major items and the house are prepared. It's almost time for the marriage, you have to have everything ready, right?"
As she said that, Mother Gong poked her head into the house, trying to see the four major items. She asked casually, "Where's Baoxia? Why don't I see her?"
The two of them are not married yet, but Gong Baoxia was always running to the Ding family's house. Mother Gong thought that since they were engaged, it was fine for them to come here. She let her be. After all, her daughter had her eyes set on Ding Yong! Thinking of Ding Yong's honest and dull look, Mother Gong felt stifled again.
Mother Ding stood up and took a towel to wipe her hands. She looked embarrassed and said, "Mother-in-law, there's something I think I should tell you."
Mother Gong raised her eyebrows. She had a bad feeling about this. "What is it?"
Mother Ding hesitated for a moment. "It's just that my little daughter got into a bit of a fight with the family and took all the family's money. Now, we don't have the dowry money for Baoxia, and we don't even have the money to buy four big items."
Mother Gong's face turned pale. She was about to lose her temper, but she suppressed it. She did not want Baoxia to marry the Ding family in the first place. It was better this way!
"It doesn't matter. In that case, Baoxia, won't marry your son!" Mother Gong raised her eyebrows and looked around for Gong Baoxia.
"Baoxia, Baoxia, come out," Mother Gong shouted as she walked into the house. Seeing this, Mother Ding hurriedly followed her. Mother Gong walked around the main house but could not find anyone. Just as she was about to go out to look, she heard some movement in the bedroom of the side room, so she walked over. However, what she saw almost made Mother Gong pass out from anger!
Mother Gong gritted her teeth with a pale face and looked at the two bodies on the bed in disbelief, she picked up a dustpan and threw it at Ding Yong who was on the bed. "Good! This is how the Ding family does things! You do all kinds of sneaky things! This is how you behave!"
Mother Gong's eyes were wide open as she slammed the Dustpan on Ding Yong's head. She wanted to hit him again, but Mother Ding stopped her. "Mother-in-law, calm down! Things have already come to this..."
Before mother Ding could finish her sentence, she cried out and covered her head. Mother Gong's second swing had hit Mother Ding's head instead, and her vision turned white and she felt dizzy from the pain.
"You bastards! You didn't have enough money for the betrothal gifts, didn't buy the four big items, and didn't do what you said you would do. Now that you don't have money, you want to get my daughter through dirty tricks! I'm going to sue you! I'll call the police and say that she was raped and I'll arrest you all!" Mother Gong's eyes were red and bloodshot. She swung her dustpan again and hit Ding Yong's body.
After being hit, Mother Ding's heart was still in fear, but she did not dare to stop her.
Gong Baoxia woke up and saw this scene. She was already in tears. When she saw that Ding Yong had been hit twice, she quickly wrapped her clothes and got out of bed, she hugged Mother Gong's leg and cried, "Mother! Stop hitting him! I was willing, and I gave consent to him. Please let Ding Yong go!"
Pa!
Mother Gong glared and slapped Gong Baoxia's face. "Bastard! This is how you repay me for raising you! I didn't get a single cent for the betrothal gift, and you didn't even get the four big items! How happy do you think you'll be if you follow this family!"
Gong Baoxia did not dare to make a sound after being slapped. Her tears were like beads that had lost their thread and could not stop flowing.
Mother Gong panted heavily as she thought of something, she glared fiercely at Mother Ding and Ding Da Yong. "Just you wait! I'll find Ding Jun and Chen Zhiguo to reason with them! He's a lieutenant colonel, he can't possibly allow his brother-in-law to do such a thing! I want to expose you to everyone!"
