Mother Chen frowned and could not bear to hear it anymore. “Mother-in-law, your words are really unpleasant! Ding Jun is already married, why should she still give you money?”
Everyone chimed in, “That’s right, Ding Jun is usually very generous to everyone. She is not stingy when it comes to borrowing money. If she doesn’t give you money, it must be because you have done something wrong!”
“I’ve never seen such a mother! She wants to suck the blood of the eldest daughter like a vampire and even sacrifice the happiness of the youngest daughter for money!”
Mother Ding’s mind was now filled with Ding Ling and the few hundred yuan that she had stolen. She did not have time to refute the crowd. She stared at the main house and ran over. She looked around like a mad dog that had lost its leash. Mother Chen could not catch up with her. The scene was very chaotic.
Ding Jun’s eyes were filled with displeasure. She raised her voice and said sternly, “Mother! If you continue like this, I will call the police! I already said that Ding Ling is not here. What else do you want?”
When she heard the word ‘call the police’, Mother Ding was suddenly stunned. She seemed to be frightened and gradually regained her senses. Ding Yong’s wedding date was getting closer and closer. If she called the police, Gong Baoxia would definitely not marry into the family. Thinking of this, Mother Ding stumbled towards the door. She looked at Ding Jun and said in a fawning tone, “There’s no need to call the police. I won’t look for her. I’ll leave now!”
As she spoke, Mother Ding poked her head into a corner but still could not find Ding Ling. Seeing the people in the courtyard looking at her with disdain, Mother Ding pretended to laugh a few times and went back resentfully.
“Bah! That wretched girl! If I catch her, I’ll definitely skin her alive!” After returning home, Ding Yong’s mother threw the stick to the side. She was so angry that she sat down on the ground and pounded the ground a few times with her fist.
At this moment, Ding Yong came back with Gong Baoxia. Seeing Mother Ding mother like this, the two of them looked at each other. Then, Ding Yong pulled Gong Baoxia closer to Mother Ding. He asked tentatively, “Mother, what’s wrong with you? Haven’t you found little sister yet?”
Ding Yong knew that Ding Ling was afraid of getting married and ran away. He did not know that she had taken the money from the family, and MOther Ding did not dare to tell him.
Mother Ding was very upset, and she became irritated when she saw Ding Yong. She spat and looked to the side. Her tone was angry and fierce. “Bah! Don’t mention her to me!”
Ding Yong shrunk his head and looked at Gong Baoxia. He had no choice but to pull her away.
Mother Ding looked at the back of the two and suddenly thought of something. Her eyes were filled with a strange and scheming look, she quickly said, “Wait, Ding Yong, come here. I have something to tell you. Baoxia, go into the house first. He will be there in a while.”
Ding Yong’s mother’s voice was filled with excitement. Ding Yong felt that it was a little strange, but he still went over. Mother Ding pulled him to a remote place and looked around to make sure that no one was around. She whispered, “Ding Yong, Ding Ling ran away from home and took all of our family’s savings. Now, we don’t even have the money for Gong Baoxia’s dowry, let alone the four big items.”
Ding Yong was stunned.
Mother Ding then lowered her voice. “In the current situation, if you want to marry her, you have to make her pregnant. When that time comes, even if her family doesn’t like it, they will have to agree.”
Ding Yong frowned and resisted. “Mother, we can’t do this. It’s unfair to Baoxia.”
Mother Ding pulled at Ding Yong’s sleeve, she glared at him fiercely. “What’s unfair about it?! Things have come to this! You like Baoxia and she likes you. It’s just that her family doesn’t agree. If you two live together, her family’s opinion isn’t that important!”
Ding Yong was still a little conflicted. “Mother, but…”
“Don’t say ‘but’. If you can’t do it, just wait for Gong Baoxia to marry someone else! Anyway, we can’t afford the betrothal gifts and the four big items now!”
Mother Ding glared at Ding Yong, then, she lowered her eyes.
Ding Yong frowned, sighed, and said hesitantly, “I’ll try.”
Mother Ding secretly glanced at Ding Yong and breathed a sigh of relief..
