Chapter 458 When is dinner?
"Not only did they not plan to leave any food, didn't you see they didn't even prepare any water?"
Wang Shuhua just kept talking about pouring water, but there was no sign of water...
It’s not that Wang Shuhua is stingy, and a bowl of water is not a good thing, but her family doesn’t have that many bowls or cups.
Hu Qiushuang smashed all the things that Hu Dongmei had used, and those that were not smashed were smuggled into her house by the second old maid.
Now the mother and son each had a bowl and a cup, and Hu Qiushuang didn't leave any extra for them...
Ding Shengnan came empty-handed again, without bringing anything with her. Wang Shuhua wanted to invite her to have a drink of water but was powerless.
The only thing I'm thankful for is that Hu Qiushuang didn't take a liking to those benches and chairs, otherwise the group of people from Old Ding's family would have to stand when they came today...
After the Ding family sat down, neither side had figured out where to start. The group of people stared at the mother and son, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Wang Shuhua thought that this was her home, and with so many people watching, she should ease the atmosphere.
"that……"
"that……"
Unexpectedly, both Old Man Ding and I spoke at the same time. It was already late, and Old Man Ding was waiting for Wang Shuhua to invite him to dinner. After sending everyone to Wang Shuhua, she waited for Old Man Ding to speak and leave...
"Dad, when are we going to eat? I'm starving!"
They all said that there would be meat to eat today. Xiao Shitou hadn't eaten much since last night and had been waiting for today's meal.
In addition, he had walked such a long way on an empty stomach in the morning, and now his stomach was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.
The child's voice was not very loud, but Wang Shuhua could still hear it clearly from where she was, but she didn't respond, which made the situation a bit awkward...
Ding Shengnan saw that it was not a good idea for such a group of people to be stuck here, so she quietly gestured to Xie Xiaoman, and the two of them stepped aside in tacit understanding.
"Xiao Man, all my uncles and brothers have sent you a wife, what does your mother mean by this~"
Ding Shengnan opened her mouth with a coquettish tremor in her voice. This tactic was quite effective for her. It was because her tone was different from the straightforward tone of the other women in the village that Xie Xiaoman couldn't stop thinking about her.
"Look, she didn't prepare anything. How can a bride's family send her off hungry?"
Being looked at with such a scolding look on Xie Xiaoman made him feel a little itchy. Ding Shengnan, who had dressed up carefully, felt different from usual. He could not say the words he had prepared.
He had originally decided to stand on the same front with his mother, and the two of them would give Ding Shengnan a warning, but now...
"Wait for me to ask my mother."
Watching Xie Xiaoman go back and pull his mother aside to talk, Ding Shengnan smiled with satisfaction. She chose Xie Xiaoman because he was easy to control.
She didn't deny that Hu Dongmei was a good woman, but she didn't know how to deal with men. She couldn't even handle a brainless man like Xie Xiaoman...
Of course, not all men are brainless. She is already very satisfied that she has found Xie Xiaoman.
She knew some people whose families were better off than Xie Xiaoman, but even if she tried her best to marry into the family, she would still be surrounded by sisters-in-law and other aunts, and there would be endless household chores to deal with and endless human hearts to calculate.
This family is so simple. Xie Xiaoman is stupid and Wang Shuhua is a paper tiger. There are only two people in the family and there are no complicated relationships. She becomes the head of the family directly. For her, Xie Xiaoman is the best choice.
That’s why she can tolerate all kinds of indifference from Wang Shuhua now. As long as she enters this family, Wang Shuhua no longer has the final say. What does this little difficulty matter?
While she was thinking, the conversation with Xie Xiaoman also ended. Wang Shuhua's face was very gloomy. Ding Shengnan made her son betray her with just a few words. What a powerful method!
Finally, Wang Shuhua, who couldn't persuade her son, walked over with a fake smile. Old man Ding was still sitting there calmly. He watched the confrontation just now. Now it depends on his daughter's ability.
"Please sit down for a while. I will go and prepare something."
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Man Ding relaxed his posture and tapped the ground with his left foot habitually. This was his unique way of celebrating. His daughter won!
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, take your time."
Old Man Ding took out his pipe and slowly filled it with tobacco leaves. It didn't matter whether Wang Shuhua's attitude was good or not. The failure in the first confrontation meant that she would be like this too.
If you're not in a hurry, go home and eat. Take your time. You family are shameless!
Wang Shuhua cursed in her heart and pinched the ground under her feet fiercely, then turned around and walked out.
The heads on the wall all turned to look at her when she came out. Wang Shuhua cleared her throat uncomfortably when she saw so many people.
"Who has meat? Let's exchange some. A small piece is enough. And who has eggs? Let's exchange two eggs..."
……
This is the first time I see someone borrowing meat and vegetables to cook at a wedding!
Wang Shuhua also knew that it was a bit embarrassing, but the mother and son had clearly agreed yesterday to give the Ding family a warning, and they would definitely not leave any food for them. Who knew that her son would betray them so quickly!
Now we can only see which family has surplus food, and use some to make two dishes to send the Ding family away.
"I have eggs at home, what do you want to exchange for them?"
Ermao's family took over the call. Her chickens could lay two eggs every day, and she would secretly take out one every two or three days. When she had saved up a few, she would go find someone to exchange them for some money or something. With a father like Ermao, her family's Xiang Wen could only rely on her if he wanted to get married.
"I still have some corn at home. What's the matter? If you don't want it, then you can pick whatever you like from the vegetable garden."
A few days ago, her family had a lot of things and there was no need to exchange them with anyone. But those things were all from Hu Dongmei's family, and they were all taken away after the quarrel. All she had left were some corn kernels that were distributed last year, and she had to grind them herself if she took them back.
“No more!”
It would be better to keep the eggs and exchange them for the educated youth. How can you have the nerve to take out corn kernels to exchange for other things?
Not to mention vegetables, everyone has a vegetable garden, and she can’t even eat all the vegetables she grows…
"Hey, Ermao, I'll lend you two, okay? I'll return them to you when my chickens lay eggs~"
"Pfft~"
A familiar laugh came from the top of the wall. Wang Shuhua looked over fiercely.
"What are you laughing at? I'm borrowing it, not asking for it. Do you think I'm as shameless as you and only want to take advantage of others?"
The second old lady on the wall couldn't help laughing. She was still borrowing, how could she pay it back?
"Wang Shuhua, you don't know yet, right? Think about whether you fed the chickens yesterday? Why don't you go check where the chickens are... There are only two chicken feathers in your chicken coop."
!!!
What the hell?
Where are the two old hens in her house that are in their prime and laying eggs!
Wang Shuhua ran towards the chicken coop, and her hasty appearance frightened the man surnamed Ding who came to escort the bride, so much so that he moved his stool back...
Wang Shuhua peered through the fence and saw that the chicken coop was quiet...
