Xianggui

Chapter 288: Tied for first place

Ding Zhuang was cruel. Not only did Ding Chi have two holes punched in his head, his nose was bleeding, he could not move one leg, and he may have suffered internal injuries.

Ding Chi gasped in pain and cried vaguely, "It's my biological father who can do this. I lost my mother when I was a child, and it was my aunt who raised me. My aunt went to Jiaozhou, and no one will love me anymore." ."

After speaking, wept loudly.

Ding Shuan said, "You can't blame the second uncle. Think about how much trouble you caused. If it weren't for the luck of picking up a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum at the beginning of spring, the second uncle would probably have died, and the family would be over. Now the second uncle My uncle is angry, so you should go back to the Tang family to recuperate first, and wait until he calms down before talking about going home."

Ding Shuan and Ding Chi's servants used a wooden board to lift Ding Chi onto the carriage.

Ding Youcai didn't want to offend Ding Zhuang, so he refused to go.Ding Dafu was stupid, so Ding Shuan had to accompany him to the county hospital.

Doctor Zhang made a diagnosis and found that Ding Chi's left leg was broken, one of his ribs was broken, and his internal organs were also damaged.

The old doctor first thought it was an enemy who was beating him up, and he sympathized very much, "Oh my, how much hatred can there be for such a cruel attack."

Later, I heard that this man was Ding Chi, who was injured by Ding Zhuang, so he changed his story.

"It should be beaten. If it were my son, I would also like to beat him to death. It was my hand that I showed to the old shopkeeper. Without that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, he would have gone to see the King of Hell."

As he said this, his hands were not as gentle as before. Ding Chi screamed in pain, "Ouch, ouch, be gentler..."

After treating the injury, Ding Shuan and his servants carried Ding Chi to the Tang family.

It was already dark by this time.

The Tang family hall was brightly lit like daylight.

Except for Ding Lilai who was pouting as Tang syndrome was being dragged into his arms, the whole family was talking happily.

When Mrs. Tang returned to her parents' home in the afternoon, she found out that her son was studying in a private school in the county town.His arithmetic scores are particularly good and he is deeply loved by his teacher.

She was overjoyed and said proudly, "They say my son is like me - stupid. Where is my son stupid? I knew that my son was smart and would take the scholar examination in the future."

After saying goodbye, she and Tang Yuan went to pick up Ding Li from the private school.

As soon as Ding Li came out, he saw Tang Yuan smiling at him.

"Why is uncle here?"

He was in trouble.Grandpa doesn't want him to have frequent interactions with his uncle's family. Except for special days and when he really misses his grandma, he doesn't want to go back to his uncle's house.

Tang Yuan pointed at the Tang family and said with a smile, "Li Lai, who do you think this is?"

When Ding Li arrived, he saw a woman looking at him earnestly, with tears in her eyes.

He shook his head, "Who is she? I don't know her."

Tang was so excited.My son is almost as tall as me. He is a very beautiful young man wearing a blue gown.

She rushed forward, hugged Ding Lilai into her arms, and cried, "Li Lai, mother misses you..."

Ding Lilai thought about his mother every day when he was a child, but he stopped thinking about her that way.Now I was suddenly held in the arms of a woman who called myself "mother" and cried. I was very embarrassed and uncomfortable.

His body was pulled forward and his feet took half a step back.

He felt that being hugged by a strange mother was not as comforting as being hugged by his second aunt.

Seeing his classmates looking at him and laughing, Ding Lilai broke away from Tang's hand and said, "Don't be like this, the classmates are all laughing at me."

Tang's arms came up again, "Mom misses you, she thinks about you every day." Ding Lilai asked word for word, "You miss me every day, why don't you come back early? It's not like you don't have money. You have to ride a mule for two months." If you take the car, you will be home by boat in a few days."

He not only heard from Ding Erfu about the trip from Linshui County to Central South Province, but also asked others about it.

Tang choked up her cry and said, "Mom has wanted to come back for a long time. Your father said that he wanted to act like a fool and earn more money before coming back."

Ding Lilai felt even more sad, "I know that in your eyes, your son is not as important as money."

Tang Yuan could tell that Li Lai had a grudge against his parents.He smiled hurriedly and said, "Let's go, let's go home and talk slowly."

Ding Lilai said, "I need to tell Madam Ma."

After shopkeeper Gong left, Ding Lilai would stay at Jiulu Zhixiu Workshop at night and be taken care of by Mr. Ma and his wife who were janitors and did chores.

Tang Yuan said, "I've already asked someone to tell me."

Several people got on the carriage, and Mrs. Tang's hands and eyes were reluctant to leave her son.

Seeing her son not looking at her, it was completely different from how she imagined her son would be affectionate with her. Tang felt bitter in her heart.

"Son, my parents have suffered a lot outside..."

Ding Li came to intercept her words, "How much more painful is it than grandpa? Grandpa lost his finger and almost died. Later the injury healed, but it hurts in winter. Sometimes it hurts so much that I can't sleep all night long. I'm so heartbroken." . And Xiangxiang, who was almost snatched and sold by bad guys. You are irresponsible. Why should you blame grandpa and the second uncle’s family for the mistakes you made? "

Tang's mouth was already clumsy, but his son was so angry that he couldn't speak. Then he opened his mouth and started crying, tears streaming down his face.

"Mom doesn't want to run away, but your father has caused a big disaster and we will die if we stay..."

Tang Yuan handed over a handkerchief and advised, "Sister, there are some things that you can't rush. Let's talk about it slowly when we go home."

Back at Tang's house, Mrs. Tang pulled Ding Lilai to two big boxes, "My parents bought these for my son."

She took out all kinds of food, pens, ink washers, jade pendants, and small ornaments, and compared several sets of clothes she had made with her own hands on her son.

In comparison, they are all small.

She smiled and said, "My son looks really good. He is already so tall at the age of 12. Mom will make it again and make it fit."

Ding Lilai said, "No need to do anything. My aunt and Aunt Yang made me a lot of clothes and filled a cupboard full of them. Every time they made clothes for me, they would enlarge and lengthen them one inch, saying that I grew up fast. I I can eat whatever I like, and I also let Aunt Ma cook what I like, saying that I can’t lose my body..."

He used to think that in that family, Xiangxiang was the best, grandpa was the second best, and uncle was the third best.Only now do I know that my aunt has been responsible for all the food and clothing I have had for so many years. She and Xiangxiang are tied for first place.

I often make my uncle angry, which I really shouldn't do.

Old Mrs. Tang sighed, "Everyone in Ding's family is kind. Alas, it's all my fault. Such a good in-law wouldn't even help me when I asked for help, so I just pushed her away..."

Mr. Tang glared at the old lady, shook his beard and said, "You old woman, don't bury me in front of your daughter. I feel sorry for my daughter, and I'm angry that Lao Ding's family didn't teach their son well."

The son's words were all heart-piercing, blaming them.

Mrs. Tang cried, "Li Lai, my parents will never leave you again. My parents earned... a lot of money, all for you. Your father said that he will buy a beautiful big house in the county in the future." You take him home..."

Ding Chi repeatedly told her not to talk about her family background to outsiders, and she almost said she was bald again.

Ding Lilai lowered his head and said, "I like living with my grandfather, second uncle, aunt, Xiangxiang, and second brother. I also like my home in Beiquan Village. I'm used to living here and don't want to go anywhere."
