Chapter 213 Arranged Marriage in the 1970s 7(1/2)
The hawker took another look at himself, but Cheng Yanling didn't take it seriously.
As long as the other person's eyes are normal and there is nothing messy.
After buying chestnuts, Cheng Yanling waited for a while and the bus arrived. It was already very late when she returned to Cheng's house. When she opened the door with the key, she found that the door was locked from the inside.
Is this intentional?
Or have you simply forgotten that there is someone who hasn’t come back?
The thought flashed through her mind, and the next second Cheng Yanling found a brick and started banging on the door: "Dong dong dong -" The sound when he turned around and hit the door was like thunder.
It suddenly woke up everyone in the house.
But no one moved immediately. Zou Ping had a headache due to the noise, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you unlock the door?"
"I guess I didn't bring the key." Cheng's father was also unhappy and pushed Zou Ping: "Go and open the door for her."
Zou Ping sighed and had to get up. Unexpectedly, the knocking on the door became louder and louder. Finally, with a direct "Boom!", the door was opened the moment she stepped out of the room.
Zou Ping stood on the first floor, and happened to see the moonlight pouring in when the door was broken, and the girl standing at the door.
She was confused and couldn't help being angry. There was no entertainment these days and everyone was asleep at ten o'clock. Anyone would be unhappy if they were woken up for no reason. Her voice became much louder and she said dissatisfiedly: "Whatever you do!
Why knock on the door when you have the key?!"
Cheng Yanling clapped her hands and threw away the bricks in her hands. Just as she was knocking, the door lock came loose, so she pressed harder. Unexpectedly, it opened. She shrugged: "I brought the key, but you locked the door."
."
Zou Ping: "...how did you get in?"
Cheng Yanling grinned, looking extremely innocent: "Break the door lock and come in."
Zou Ping: "???"
Cheng Yanling has already gone upstairs.
Zou Ping panicked, looked at the wide open door, and quickly stepped forward to check. When she saw it, her vision went dark. Sure enough, the door lock was loose and twisted, and could not be used at all!
Doesn’t that mean we have to leave the door open overnight?!
Although there is a dedicated guard in the family area, there are a lot of petty thefts. There are always people who see that other people's homes are empty and sneak in to take something. It is difficult to find out in such a large family area.
Now don't even think about sleeping peacefully tonight!
Zou Ping was so angry that her face turned green, and she wanted to curse, but when she turned around and saw the figure going to take a shower, she felt a little guilty. She thought the door was unlocked. After all, Cheng's father reminded her that Cheng Yanling went to night school and did not come back.
She didn't lock the door either.
But at night, she saw her daughter coming here once.
I didn't feel anything at the time.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid they're here to lock the door.
Zou Ping was angry, what's going on? Doing such a stupid thing?! But she is her biological daughter, so she can't tell her. She could only go upstairs and call Father Cheng in depression: "Get up and help me."
Father Cheng turned over and ignored him at all.
Zou Ping gritted her teeth: "Your daughter broke the door! Our door is open now. If you are not afraid, then so be it."
Father Cheng sat up suddenly: "What did you say?"
Zou Ping's eyes sparkled: "You will know when you come down and see for yourself."
Cheng's father couldn't sleep at all. When he went out, he saw the moon outside the door. The corner of his mouth twitched and he was about to go upstairs to settle the score with Cheng Yanling.
Zou Ping quickly grabbed the person and said, "Forget it, maybe the door lock itself is broken and her key can't be used, otherwise she wouldn't have broken it. Don't lecture her."
Cheng's father still looked dissatisfied.
Zou Ping took out her trump card: "If she is unhappy, go back and tell Mr. Mu..."
Cheng's father paused and said with a dark face, "Okay, let's move the table and block the door first."
——
next day
Du Miaoxue and others got up and found that the door was broken!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was shocked: "Who broke it?!"
"No one, no one, let's eat quickly." Zou Ping mumbled and urged them to eat.
Cheng Xiaoxiao subconsciously glanced upstairs at Cheng Yanling who was slowly swallowing his food. Just as he was about to speak, Du Miaoxue pulled her back and she shut up in frustration.
She still listened to Du Miaoxue's words. She had been brought up by Du Miaoxue since she was a child, and she was so good that she could do well anywhere.
Cheng Xiao smiled and fell silent. Du Miaoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the door with lingering fear, and silently went to serve the meal.
Last night, she got up to drink water. When she passed the door, she reached out and locked the door. She just wanted to give him a break. After knocking on the door for a while, she got up and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, before she could get up last night, the door was opened.
She didn't dare to go out either.
Fortunately, no one mentioned locking the door.
But when the plate was put down, Du Miaoxue raised her head and met Cheng Yanling's eyes. The other person showed a half-smile, which made her hand tremble and the plate was crooked.
Cheng Yanling was sure that it was Du Miaoxue.
This little trick is useless, but it's a bit disgusting.
After thinking about it, Cheng Yanling tilted her head and smiled: "Du Miaoxue, was it fun to lock the door specially last night?"
Everyone at the dinner table was stunned and subconsciously looked over.
Du Miaoxue's face turned red instantly and she shook her head hastily: "No, I didn't! The door lock is broken!"
Cheng Yanling clicked his tongue: "Really? When I opened the door yesterday, the door was locked properly, but it was locked from behind. So it wasn't you?"
Du Miaoxue was about to cry. She looked to her side for help. Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately straightened her back and was about to speak.
Cheng Yanling glanced at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Stop beeping. It's annoying. Believe it or not, I'll hit you a few more times?!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned and didn't dare to say anything.
Cheng Yanling stood up and walked to Du Miaoxue. Seeing that she had her head lowered, he simply stretched out his hand to lift her chin. He saw the pitiful look in the eyes of the person in front of him with tears in his eyes, and sighed: "I feel pity for you, that's right.
"
Du Miaoxue burst into tears. She had been supported by others since she was a child. This was the first time someone had treated her like this. It was scary, but she felt guilty and flustered for a moment.
Father Cheng couldn't stand it: "Cheng Yanling! What are you doing?! Why did Miaomiao lock the door?"
Cheng Yanling ignored it and patted the face in front of him. The sound of "pop | pop | pop -" was not loud, but it was crisp and sweet, and even made people feel a bit humiliated.
Du Miaoxue's face turned red. She turned her head and tried to break free. But as soon as she made a move, her chin was tightly pinched and she couldn't move at all: "What are you going to do?!"
Cheng Yanling's expression cooled down and he looked at her coldly: "Look at your small body, how many times can you withstand my slaps?"
Du Miaoxue subconsciously thought of the blow Cheng Xiaoxiao received two days ago and looked at her in horror.
The traces of that slap still remain!
Cheng Yanling threw her away with a strong effort, wiped her hands in disgust, and said coldly: "Since you are afraid, then don't mess with me, and I won't beat around the bush with you. Just remember, if you mess with me again, you will end up worse than that."
Door locks are no better!”
After saying that, she sat back down in her seat.
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Cheng's father kept taking deep breaths to reduce his anger. Zou Ping's face was ugly, but it was indeed her daughter's fault and she didn't dare to say anything.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was filled with anger, but he didn't dare to stand up to Du Miaoxue, so he could only stare at Cheng Yanling secretly.
Cheng Xiwen, the only one who wanted to stand up for Du Miaoxue, felt sorry for his sister who was bullied and cried. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled back by Zou Ping. The child was held down, so he could only shut up in frustration.
No more fuss.
so comfortable.
Cheng Yanling ate with satisfaction and went to class after eating.
As soon as she left, the gloomy atmosphere in the Cheng family relaxed. Cheng's father was full of apologies: "Miaomiao, I'm sorry, that child Lingling has a bad temper and has wronged you."
Du Miaoxue shook her head: "It's okay, I'm not wronged."
But saying that, the look on his face made people feel even more distressed.
Cheng's father was heartbroken. He took out his wallet from his arms and looked at it. He felt that it was missing. He got up and went back to the room to get two large wallets and gave them to Du Miaoxue: "You can take this to buy some clothes and shoes first. Don't worry, I will give you the dowry father later."
I will definitely give you a little more so that you will not be wronged when you go to the Mu family."
Du Miaoxue blushed and accepted: "Thank you, Dad."
Cheng's father waved his hand: "If you call me daddy, I will definitely not let you be wronged. Besides, your grandfather Cheng left so many things for the children of Lingling and Mu Ze to get married. Now that their marriage is successful,
No, if you are with Mu Ze, you will naturally have your share."
Du Miaoxue inhaled slightly, and tightened her hands holding the money. She was a little excited, but she quickly suppressed it and said in a trembling voice: "Do you have my share? Dad, this...isn't this bad? Will Lingling know about it?"
happy."
