Chapter 136 Old Ding Convinces People with Virtue
Let’s talk to Chen Xin and his family last night after Ding Fangfei talked to her father and did not tell her that her father would bring 100,000 yuan to support the chicken farm.
After living with Chen Xin for the past two months, she is very clear about the character of the three of them.
Although the family is poor, the three of them have a sense of arrogance in their bones and are unwilling to accept "allowing alms" from others."
Last time, Song Qingyun guaranteed to owe feed from Lin Lutao credit, and they directly mortgaged the property certificate and old house to others.
If I knew that my father had sent the money, I would never accept it.
Ding Fangfei decided to hide it from them first, saying that her father was worried about her and would come and have a look tomorrow.
The first time the in-laws came to the door, Chen Xin and the whole family did not dare to be careless.
That night, Chen Xin's mother hurried to the store of bamboo flowers to credit a box of beer, and then took out a hundred kilograms of corn from the house to exchange for a goose for her neighbor, bought ten kilograms of meat, and waited for the distinguished guests to come.
Because Chen Zhonggui is a matchmaker, Chen Xin's mother resisted the disgust in her heart and asked her son to invite him to accompany her.
By noon, the distinguished guest came and brought a large truck and four strong men.
Lao Ding stood in the yard, pushed away his daughter, who was full of surprise, pointed to the chicken coop and said to the four people: "Move it for me, move it all away, and no one is left."
At that time, the one-handed boy and the red face were helping the chicken shit at Chen Xin's house. When he saw that something was wrong, he ran to Gong Zhu's convenience store and wanted to inform Liu Yonghua.
Since I met Song Qingyun halfway, then I should just go and stop him.
After saying this, he was so angry that he smashed his fist straight into his head: "Secretary Song, look at this matter. You will lay eggs in the past two days. Xiao Ding's father actually wants to pull all the chickens out and sell them. We're all in vain, in vain."
Song Qingyun was so anxious that her face turned blue and she couldn't say a word.
Soon, they arrived outside Chen Xin's yard.
Chen Xin's family happened to be on the edge of a mechanized farming road, with convenient transportation. A double-bridge truck parked there, blocking the road.
I heard Chen Xin's parents' plea coming from the yard again: "In-law, in-laws, why do you have to do such a heartbreaking thing? Are you reasonable?"
Song Qingyun jumped out of the car and looked closely, but saw many people in the yard crowding together. Among the people, the leader was an old man in his early sixties.
This man is not tall and not big, but he has a tough spirit, so he is obviously not a good person to talk to.
The old man said, "Sad? Old Chen, your family is so angry that you can trick my daughter into your house for a month and be an old mother. Look at her now, her hands have become thicker, her face has become darker, and she has lost weight. What a tender skin and tender water girl she used to be. Is this sad to be tortured like this? Speaking of reasoning, I will tell you today."
"A month ago, Chen Changqing took your son to the matchmaker. He had to pat his chest and responded to the conditions offered by my family. He said that as long as the two children fell in love with each other, nothing was a problem. If you say something, you have to keep your word. You can't lie. But what about you, you're not going to give me a cut and cooked rice. Isn't this a coercion? Chen Changqing, tell me, is that true? Do you dare to repeat what you said in front of so many people? Chen Changqing, Chen Changqing...you, you should continue to be your dead dog, don't let me meet you in the countryside next time. Otherwise, you will be beaten once."
Chen Changqing had already arrived, and he probably knew that this was a big trouble. He simply ignored everything, wrapped himself in a dirty military coat, lay on a bench under the eaves and pretended to be asleep.
Lao Ding said this reasonably, and Chen Xin's parents were speechless by him.
The villagers of Hongshi Village are willing to help. If outsiders bully the enemy, they will not ask right or wrong, so they will just ask the guys to help.
But today this matter is a dispute between the two relatives. After all, it is an internal family matter. It is hard to interfere, so I have to shake my head and sigh from the side.
Seeing that everyone was successfully shut up, Lao Ding said to the four people again: "What are you doing when you are so stunned? Move things? The boss of the provincial vegetable market is still waiting!"
The four of them responded and were about to take action.
Chen Xin roared and rushed over with a kitchen knife, "Don't do it, don't do it, whoever dares to touch me will beat me to death?"
Ding Fangfei was shocked and hugged Chen Xin: "Please, Brother Xin, say something. Dad is not an unreasonable person. He likes me the most. He is joking with us."
Lao Ding "Ha, Chen Xin, you are in the market and are going to kill your father-in-law? Those who are disobedient and unfilial are still using swords and guns in front of me? Don't bully me in old age. If it weren't for Fangfei's sake, I would really fight you one-on-one today. Do you believe it or not, you can knock you down in one minute!"
Chen Xin put all his hopes in life on these 5,000 laying hens. Seeing that it was about to lay eggs, everything went wrong. The chicken only knew how to eat it, and there was no movement in his stomach. Today, the father-in-law even came to the door to drag the laying hens out and sold them to offset the bride price. This was absolutely not allowed.
He stared at his blood-red eyes and shouted: "Let me go, let me go, Ding Fangfei, you let me go, or I will hit you."
Ding Fangfei pushed him away, her hair disheveled between them, lowering her head: "Fight, just hit me, it's all my fault anyway. Chen Xin, Dad, you punch me one by one until you hit me to death. If you don't hit me, you are not men."
She was the heart of the two men in front of her. Lao Ding and Chen Xin both paused and calmed down a little.
Chen Xin: "No fight."
Lao Ding: "I can't bear to leave."
Song Qingyun hurriedly walked in and shouted, "Stop, Ding Fangfei's father, I am Song Qingyun, the first secretary of Hongshi Village. Everyone is calm, I will mediate this matter."
A young man who accompanied Lao Ding scolded: "What a shit secretary, what's wrong with you? Get out!"
Song Qingyun was not angry and said calmly: "I am the first secretary, and this village is under my jurisdiction. In the future, Chen Xin and Ding Fangfei will marry. I will be their witness. Do you think there is anything to me?"
Old Ding glanced at the man: "Stop talking, sir, you don't have the same amount as you interrupt." Then he changed his smile and took out his cigarette: "Secretary Song, you smoke."
The man was Lao Ding's nephew, and he was scolded by his uncle and dared not talk nonsense. He looked at Song Qingyun with aggrievedly, and was angry that this dog-haired secretary looked younger than him.
Song Qingyun: "No, no. I said, don't be impatient, don't take action, and say something. There is nothing in the world that cannot be resolved through negotiation. Chen Xin, go and pour you Mr. Qi a cup of tea."
Old Master Qi means old father-in-law.
Chen Xin was still standing there angrily, very resistant.
Chen Xin's parents and Ding Fangfei hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go."
"Okay, since Secretary Song has come forward, I won't hurry up and start. Let's talk about it and see how to come up with a suitable solution." Old Ding is a good man, so he naturally knows that Song Qingyun must sell his face. After all, this is related to whether his daughter can survive in Hongshi Village in the future and live a smooth life.
Since ancient times, the life of a young wife in rural areas after marrying her husband's house has something to do with whether her parents' family is strong. If the mother's family has good financial conditions and can subsidize the couple, the young wife will naturally be able to be proud in her husband's house.
Even if your parents have no money or power, as long as there are too many people, it will be successful. If your husband or the villagers dare to bully her, a large group of brother-in-law come over with sticks and will not beat you to death.
All these are limited to the level of the mother's family and husband's family.
No matter how much the Ding and Chen families make trouble today, even if they fight to the death, as long as Ding takes advantage of the situation, it will not harm the role of the hostess of his daughter in the Chen family in the future.
But if you offend village cadres, or even "superior leaders" like Song Qingyun, you will not have a good life in the future, and you will not have any status.
This is the rules of the game in the mountains and rural areas.
Although Lao Ding is a bad person, he is extremely spoiled for his children. For the sake of his daughter's future life, he naturally can take it and let it go.
The tea was ready, and melon seeds, peanuts and candies were sprinkled on the small tea table.
People were surrounded by them.
Chen Xin's parents, Gong Qi, blushed and were full of worries. Chen Xin was indignant, and the four people who followed Lao Ding had fierce faces.
Chen Changqing had already sat up from the bench and stretched his neck. He wanted to see but dared not go over. He was as quiet as a chicken.
Lao Ding picked up the cover bowl, scraped the foam from the soup noodles with the lid, and blew it. But he didn't drink it, and said, "Secretary Song wants to eat tea, so why do you say it first or I say it first?"
He has a bit of a sporting style.
Song Qingyun was not so particular. The weather was cold and the car was turned on the air conditioner all the way. He was a little thirsty, so he took a big sip.
"You drink tea first, that's to let me talk first." Lao Ding nodded: "You know the matter. Chen Xin came to my house for a blind date. He and my woman fell in love with each other. This matter was decided, and only the dowry and the day to choose the work. The matter was delayed for a month, and we must not ignore it. Shouldn't I come to the door? If I don't come, will it be looked down upon and how can we meet people in the future?"
Song Qingyun: "Old Ding, you have also seen the situation of the Chen family, which is more difficult. You have to wait until the chicken lays eggs before you can get the bride price. Why don't you wait?"
"Wait, how long will it take?" Lao Ding: "Now these chickens are not going to lay eggs, and they can't say they won't lay eggs in the future. Why should I wait?"
Song Qingyun said that there was no way to stop laying. Lao Ding refuted that there were many chickens that did not lay eggs, such as if there were problems with the breed. Not to mention chickens, people cannot give birth to children if they are so developed in human technology.
Lao Ding: "The problem is that I can't wait now. If I wait for another two months, my baby will become pregnant." After that, he pointed to Ding Fangfei's belly: "What will you do if you ask me to do then?"
"Ah!" Everyone yelled: "What, Xiao Ding is pregnant?"
Chen Xin was shocked: "Fangfei, are you really pregnant?" His voice was filled with joy and worry, and he was trembling.
Ding Fangfei's face was flushed, but she didn't speak.
Chen Xin felt guilty: "Fangfei, you are still working for my house on such a cold day. I, I am sorry for you." As he said that, tears were wrapped in his eyes.
Lao Ding asked Song Qingyun: "Secretary Song, I ask you, should the child get married now? According to the rules of our countryside, should the bride price be given? It's not that I, Lao Ding, is greedy for money, yes, yes, my son is going to get married, and I'm waiting for here to receive the bride price and hand it over. This is the rule here, the world is big, and the rules are the biggest. Also, I collect this money to see the sincerity of the Chen family. Five thousand chickens are sold as broilers, but in fact it's only about 100,000 yuan, which is still far from 300,000!"
"But I, Lao Ding, is not a cruel person. I will collect the 100,000 yuan first. You can give the remaining part in installments and pay it within two years. How about it, am I good enough? Secretary Song, you are the biggest official in the village. You can rely on your reason. I, Lao Ding, stay on the front line as a human being, and am I convinced by virtue?"
This was reasonable and everyone nodded silently.
Even Chen Xin's mother sobbed in a low voice: "There is nothing to say about the work of the in-laws, we are convinced. I blame my hardship. When I got married to the Chen family, I not only harmed myself but also my sons and grandsons. Oh my God!"
