Mother Ding squeezed through the crowd and came to Ding Jun’s side. She patted her shoulder excitedly. “Little Jun!”
Ding Jun was slightly frightened. She looked at mother Ding with a hint of surprise in her eyes. “Mother? Why are you here?”
Mother Ding looked straight at the white cake on the table. She could not help but swallow her saliva when she smelled the sweet smell. “Your brother, sister-in-law and I came to see you.”
Ding Jun raised her eyebrows and saw Ding Yong and Gong Baoxia hiding in a corner not far away. Seeing that Ding Jun was looking at them, Ding Yong raised his hand and greeted her in embarrassment.
Mother Ding looked at the cake and tugged at Ding Jun’s sleeve. “Well, cut a piece of this cake for your brother and sister-in-law. Let them have a taste. I heard it’s delicious.”
Ding Jun grunted softly. She cut the third piece of cake and brought it to the dining table at the side for Ding Yong and Gong Baoxia to sit down. Mother Ding did not go over to eat with them. Instead, she stood beside Ding Jun and ate the cake while looking hesitant to speak.
Ding Jun looked at Gong Baoxia, who was not far away, and her eyes were filled with suspicion. She said calmly, “Isn’t Gong Baoxia my brother’s fiancée? Why is she here at our house now?”
Ding Jun’s mother paused for a moment and mumbled while eating the cake in her mouth, “Ever since she and your brother got engaged, she has been coming to the Ding family frequently. She’s waiting for everything to be ready before she marries over.”
Ready for what? Naturally, she had to buy the four major items and tidy up the largest house. Ding Jun pursed her lips and did not reply.
Ding Jun’s mother rolled her eyes and glanced at the drawer where Ding Jun kept the money. Her eyes were filled with eagerness. “Little Jun, I heard that you sell this for 50 cents a piece. Your business is very good. You’ve earned a lot of money, right?”
Ding Fun frowned slightly. “It’s okay.”
Mother Ding wiped her mouth after eating the cake. She did not know where she got the confidence from, she looked at Ding Jun and raised her voice. “How do you make this? Can you tell me the formula and recipe? Later, your brother and sister-in-law can sell the cake too. Our family can also earn money!”
Ding Jun paused for a moment and looked at mother Ding calmly. She refused, “No.”
She had transmigrated here, so she had her own golden fingers. She could make a fortune by relying on it.
She had no hope of bringing it to greater heights. At the current stage, society was developing rapidly. Things like cakes could be seen everywhere in a few years. This was not a reliable source of income, but a rare opportunity to earn money for a few years.
Ding Jun did not see herself as a saint. She would not do such a thing as giving away a piece of the pie to someone else. Moreover, mother Ding was greedy. When her original body was still around, she had been extremely mean to her. She had even married her original body to a man with six children for 200 yuan.
This original body had already repaid Mothing Ding enough through all the suffering. Ding Jun thought that she did not owe Mother Ding anything.
When she saw that Ding Jun had rejected her outright, Mother Ding was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, the eagerness in her eyes disappeared. There was a touch of disbelief and anger. She took a step back and raised her voice instantly. “What did you say?”
“Ding Jun, you’ve done well! I’ve worked hard to raise you, but you don’t know how to be grateful! You Didn’t give me a single cent when the family needed money, and now you’re not even willing to tell me the formula! Are you that selfish? You just want to earn this money alone!”
Mother Ding’s eyes were wide open, she looked like she wanted to eat Ding Jun up. “The family is facing difficulties now. Would it kill you to tell us the recipe? I’m your biological mother! Can you give me a way out and let me earn some money? Are you that mean? At least a pig or a dog understands gratitude!” Mother Ding’s voice was very loud, it startled the people in the yard who came to buy the cake..
