Chen Zhiguo walked out of the kitchen and frowned when he heard these words. He looked at Ding Jun, who was standing at the side with a complicated expression. His eyes were filled with heartache. He went forward and pulled Mother Ding’s arm, he called for Ding Yong and Gong Baoxia to come over.

“Mother is not in a good mood right now. Take her home to rest first.” Chen Zhiguo’s voice was calm and even as gentle as before, but his expression was frighteningly cold.

When Mother Ding heard this, she looked at Chen Zhiguo and was about to scold him. When she saw his cold and gloomy face, she shuddered and had no choice but to turn her head and continue scolding Ding Ju. .

Ding Yong was an honest person, and Gong Baoxia was also a coward. At this moment, she was the focus of everyone’s attention. Her face was burning, and she felt very embarrassed. Therefore, when they saw Chen Zhiguo’s serious expression, they all pulled Mother Ding out with red faces. Mother Ding was pulled away by her son and daughter-in-law. She did not come back for a long time. It seemed that she had left.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other in dismay. A few people did not mind the commotion. They looked at Ding Jun and said in a blaming and self-righteous tone, “No matter what, she’s still your mother. It’s fine to tell your family the recipe. Can’t you all earn money together?”

“That’s right. Even if you get married, you have to think about your family. You can’t be so selfish.”

“That old lady isn’t wrong. Right now, you’re the only one who knows how to make a cake. How much money do you have to earn?! You can’t spend all that money by yourself. Can’t you share some with the villagers so that everyone can get rich together? You can’t be selfish!”

Ding Jun frowned. She did not want to have meaningless arguments with these people. She raised her head and looked at the crowd. There was an inexplicable coldness in her tone. “If you have a problem with me, you can leave! From now on, I won’t sell this cake to you!”

The few people who spoke just now all had children. The children were neither big nor small, but they could understand what Ding Jun said. When they realized that they could not eat the cake in the future, they instantly hugged the adults’ legs and began to cry. Some of them rolled on the ground. The courtyard was instantly in a mess.

The adults were angry and very upset because of the children. Just as they were about to apologize to Ding Jun, they saw that she had closed the stall and entered the house. They had no choice but to pick up the children and drag them out.

After the episode with her mother, Ding Jun originally thought that they would be able to rest for a few days, but she did not expect that Ding Ling would come again the next day.

Ding Ling had specially chosen this afternoon. The cakes were almost all sold out, and there were fewer people coming to the house. Ding Jun had a rare moment of leisure, so she sat in the house and mended the little boss’s clothes. She inadvertently looked up and saw Ding Ling who had come to the courtyard. Compared to the previous time when she pretended to be lively, she had restrained herself a lot this time.

A trace of suspicion flashed through her eyes. Ding Jun put down the work in her hands and went up to greet her. “Ding Ling?”

Ding Ling raised her head and looked at Ding Jun. she seemed to be a little embarrassed and lowered her head again. “Second sister.”

Ding Jun raised her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

As if she was waiting for this sentence, Ding Ling raised her head and held Ding Jun’s hands with both hands. Her eyes were filled with eagerness and pleading. “Second sister, give me some money! I’ll go give it to our mother! She won’t let me go to school anymore. She wants me to get married!”

Ding Jun was a little surprised. “What happened?”

Ding Ling frowned and looked to the side, her tone was filled with resentment, “It’s mom! After she returned from your house that day, she asked someone to secretly buy some cake to study it. After tasting the ingredients, she spent a lot of money to buy various ingredients to try. She has already wasted a lot of money, but she still can’t make the delicious cakes that you sold.”

Ding Ling paused for a moment, she continued, “After dad found out that mom had already wasted more than 50 yuan, he got angry and hit her for the first time. However, it was useless to hit her. Now, the betrothal gift for Gong Baoxia is only 150 yuan left. Didn’t dad and mom agree to give the Gong family 200 yuan as a betrothal gift at that time? Now, there is a gap of 50 yuan.. Mom is eager to marry me off, and she’s even searching for families for matchmaking!”
