"Oh?" Ding Hao turned around again: "You also have a witness? Which one is it?"
"My eldest brother is tall. My eldest brother can vouch for me. Here he is, the one who weighs grain crops."
Ding Hao turned his head and saw that the man sitting next to the big dustpan was indeed similar to the second grader in high school. He was just a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He couldn't tell how tall he was.
When Ding Hao looked at him, Gao Da stuck his neck and said confidently: "Ang, Manager Ding, I can testify for my brother. I didn't see the young lady of the Dong family standing in front of him just now."
Ding Hao already understood everything in his heart. He looked at Gao Da, then at the sophomore, and asked with a smile on his face: "Grade 2, is your father's cousin?"
The second grade student wondered: "Hey, how did you know?"
"I……"
Ding Hao swallowed his saliva and said with a dry smile: "Just guess. In the second year of high school, your brother is in charge of distributing grains. Can he do what he says? Let me tell you, even if the case is reported to the government, if you act like this
The testimonies given by my close relatives are useless. Dear fellow villagers in the back, please give your personal testimonies. I wonder which one was standing in front, the lady of the Dong family or the sophomore in high school just now?"
Gao Da, a sophomore in high school, was originally a pair of gangsters in the village. Those farmers standing behind knew that they could not get a share of the Ding family's grain. Of course they would not help the sophomore in telling lies, but they were asked to help Luo Dong'er.
They couldn't help but hesitate to offend this pair of scoundrels.
Ding Hao asked twice, while Luo Donger watched helplessly, looking at the tenants with pleading eyes, but those people all looked away, and no one was willing to testify for her. Old man Liu on the side was so angry that he stamped his feet and felt embarrassed.
They apologized uneasily to Luo Donger. What is justice? In their minds, it is normal to help relatives but not to deal with them. Since it has nothing to do with both parties, there is no reason to offend others casually.
Ding Hao asked twice, and when he saw that the tenants were all pretending to be deaf and dumb, he smiled softly and said, "Okay, no one saw it, right? OK, then the manager will come and make his own decision. Weigh the remaining grains."
, please give all the registration and deposit to the Dong family’s wife.”
After hearing this, the second-year high school student called Chong Tianqu again: "Manager Ding, she has a witness, and I also have a witness. Why can't my eldest brother be a witness? I don't accept it!"
Ding Hao said with a smile: "I don't need your submission now. Since you all have witnesses, I have the final say as to who owns this grain!"
"Why?"
"Just because I'm in charge!"
Ding Hao flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice: "Zhu'er, help Madam Dong collect the grain. Everyone, please pack up and go back to rest early."
"You..." The second-year high school student was furious, but he dared to mock Old Man Liu, but he didn't dare to be so presumptuous towards Ding Hao. He had to swallow a breath of anger and watched helplessly as Shizhu'er put all the remaining grains in the dustpan into Luo Dong'er.
pocket.
"Manager Ding, thank you so much... thank you..." Luo Dong'er said to Ding Hao gratefully with her big eyes flashing.
"Thank you. It's getting late. You should go back quickly."
"Hey!" Luo Dong'er responded crisply. After weighing the weight and drawing the stamp, he picked up the grain bag and walked back. The sophomore followed her reluctantly, wiping away everything on the ground.
Ding Hao felt something was wrong when he saw it. This sophomore in high school was a rogue in the village. He didn't dare to challenge him, so he didn't necessarily dare to steal Luo Dong'er's grain. Luo Dong'er was a woman who had been criticized since she was a child. She had a cowardly personality and could not get married.
Half a year later, her sick husband, who was several years younger than her, died. It is said that because of this, she was extremely unpopular with her mother-in-law. She was beaten and scolded on weekdays. If her grain was robbed, she would be punished again when she returned home.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao gave some instructions to Xi Zhu'er and then quickly chased after him: "Madam of the Dong family, please go slowly..."
Luo Dong'er turned around and saw Ding Hao chasing after her, and asked in confusion: "Manager Ding, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. The grain seeds have been distributed. Everything is fine. Let me help you send the grain seeds back."
Ding Hao couldn't help but take the heavy bag of food and seeds from her shoulder and put it on his shoulder. He raised his thumb back and laughed softly: "That sophomore in high school is following you. I'm afraid that bastard has bad intentions, or...
I’ll help you get home better.”
"Oh..." The grain bag had been snatched away. Luo Dong'er blushed and followed Ding Hao at a loss. She looked back embarrassedly and saw that the sophomore had stopped in her tracks bitterly.
Luo Dong'er hurriedly followed up and said with regret: "Manager Ding, it's better for the slave family to carry it on their own. You cut off the grain to the slave family. The slave family is already very sorry."
Ding Hao turned his head and looked at her slim waist, which was swaying like a willow branch in the wind, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I can still carry this little thing, let's go quickly."
Luo Donger pulled back her hair on her temples, pursed her lips in embarrassment, and followed behind him.
"Madam Dong, are you and your mother-in-law the only two people in your family? Can you plant twelve acres of land...?"
"It's okay," Luo Dong'er timidly replied, "My mother-in-law's family has a lot of strong laborers. Five brothers and three brothers now have a big family. The eldest brother in my mother-in-law's family also has a cow. When the farming is busy, everyone
Come over here and help me. In this kind of land, harvesting is all done."
"That being said, after all, you have to live separate lives, weeding, weeding, harvesting grain and planting. It's really tiring for you."
"What's the point?" Luo Dong'er pursed her lips and smiled: "As a farmer, you have to deal with the land all your life. I don't think it's hard. I just hope that I can plant a few acres of land so that my family can live better."
"Actually... your needlework skills are famously good. The monthly needlework of the Ding family is a lot of money. Why don't you go to the Ding family to work? It's better than working in the fields."
"My mother-in-law didn't allow it." Luo Dong'er plucked her hair and said uncomfortably: "Aunt Li came to see me before, but my mother-in-law said... well... it's not good for a woman to support her family by herself..."
Luo Dong'er hesitated, but Ding Hao understood clearly. He didn't expect that this old woman from the Dong family had a very strict upbringing.
When Luo Dong'er said this, she sighed quietly and said: "The slave family is a daughter-in-law who married from another village, and the man is no longer here. She is always bullied when she goes out. If any rumors are spread back home, the mother-in-law will punish her. Only
Manager Ding, this is not the first time you have helped the slave family out of trouble. The slave family really doesn’t know how to thank you."
"Haha, what's there to say thank you for for such a small thing? Don't always call me Manager Ding. It sounds awkward to me. You should just call me Brother Hao."
"Well..., the slave family... the slave family also feels awkward..." Luo Dong'er pursed her lips and smiled.
Seeing the door of Dong's house, Luo Dong'er was afraid that her mother-in-law would be beaten and scolded again if she saw a man carrying things for her, so she quickly took two steps forward and said, "Thank you Brother Hao, my house is already here, I'll carry it back by myself."
That’s fine, I’m really troubling you.”
Ding Hao hummed and was about to hand her the bag to her when he heard a "bang" and the door of Dong's house was suddenly pushed open. A woman staggered a few steps and slipped out of the door. She almost narrowly escaped while going down the steps.
He didn't fall. Ding Hao looked closely and couldn't help but wonder: "Aunt Li?"
Immediately, a woman in a light green shirt and pomegranate skirt snatched a duster with hair off from it, opened her mouth and cursed: "When will it be your turn to have a say in the Dong family's affairs?
You don't go to inquire about me, but you come to ask me about my ideas. I am a man without a turban, and a woman with a clanking voice. She can stand people with her fists, and walk with horses on her arms. You inquire about the neighbors.
I am upright and upright, I have been a widow for fourteen years, I am upright and innocent, who would not praise me for my good deeds, but you want to persuade me, a woman from the Dong family, to remarry for just two coins?"
