Chapter 111 Getting a Beating from Dad
Previously, Ding Mei avoided getting too close to Lu Yao because people would gossip about it.
I don't know when it started, but she stopped caring about what others thought.
They're here so late, and they're still shouting and yelling at the gate.
Lu Yao walked out, and although it was getting dark, her small face was still clearly visible.
Lu Yao was startled; he seemed like a completely different person after just one day apart.
Ding Mei's eyes were red and swollen, and her gaze was lifeless.
My mother-in-law has never been so distraught.
Lu quickly opened the gate:
"Come in."
"Come out here."
Still exuding domineering presence.
Lu Yao came out.
"What's wrong, Xiao Meizi? Who bullied you? Why are you crying like this?"
Then I remembered.
"By the way, when I left this morning, Zheng Wenli was still there. Did he upset you, or did your dad scold you again?"
Ding Mei didn't answer, her eyes fixed on Lu Yao:
"Did you send Zheng Wenli to propose marriage?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "I met him earlier than you did, and I'm not familiar with him at all."
Ding Mei sighed, "That boy is like a persistent scoundrel, insisting on arranging the marriage with my dad. He's even set out conditions, and my dad's completely bewitched. I've argued with him eight times today..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Don't cry, talk it out."
Lu Yao quickly looked around, afraid that the neighbors would see her and think that he had bullied her.
But Ding Mei buried her face in his arms.
Seeing her crying so hard, Lu Yao couldn't bear to push her out.
I could only hug her and gently pat the back of her head, back, and buttocks to comfort her.
It turns out that Lu Yao left after Ding Mei splashed water on his head that morning.
Ding Dahu then came over and knocked on the door.
Zheng Wenli and Yang Shouye hadn't left yet at that time.
Ding Dahu angrily ordered Ding Mei to go over and apologize to the person.
Ding Dahu was terrified when he beat the commune director until he bled.
That's the ladder I climbed to heaven.
Although Ding Dahu is usually ruthless, he still dreams of becoming an official.
Ever since becoming captain, I've wanted to climb the ranks.
Unfortunately, after serving as the brigade leader for over ten years, he just couldn't take another step.
With great difficulty, Yang Shouye agreed to mentor him, saying that as long as he performed well, he would transfer him to the commune and help him take over his job.
That's why Ding Dahu treated him like a father.
How could we let Ding Mei ruin her career like this?
When Ding Mei didn't answer the door, he knocked and then forced the door open, breaking the latch.
He came over and grabbed Ding Mei's braid, pulling it up:
"You little brat, don't you want your father to get better? Get over there and apologize to Director Yang and to Xiao Zheng!"
Ding Mei is usually afraid of Ding Dahu, but she is incredibly stubborn inside.
Once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it.
"I'm not going. If you let me go, I'll hit him again!"
Ding Mei casually picked up the scissors from the kang (a heated brick bed).
This time, when she tried to run away, Ding Dahu pulled her back instead.
"You get back here right now, you little rascal!"
He pressed her down on the kang (a heated brick bed), took off her cotton shoes, and gave Ding Mei a brutal beating on the buttocks.
Ding Mei kept screaming as she was hit.
In the past, when he hit her, he would only hit her twice as a symbol, just to scare her and that would be it. Ding Dahu also loved his daughter.
But I got really angry today, and I hit him without restraint.
Ding Mei was really in pain.
It was kicking up its heels like a little donkey.
Just then, Ding Youliang returned from walking his bird, and Xie Chunfang came over after hearing the noise.
Quickly pull Ding Dahu out.
Ding Dahu angrily went back to apologize to Yang Shouye himself.
Yang Shouye's sarcastic remarks made him so angry that his teeth started to hurt.
He got angry, and Ding Mei got even more angry.
I took off my pants in front of the mirror and saw that my buttocks were bright red.
It's visibly swelling up.
It burns when you touch it.
My father has never hit me this hard before, not even when I was a child.
She looked at her butt with a wronged expression and cried.
But that wasn't the end of it.
After Yang Shouye and Zheng Wenli left, Ding Dahu came over again.
This time, instead of hitting her, they reasoned with her and appealed to her emotions, with only one goal: to get Ding Mei to marry Zheng Wenli.
Ding Mei became popular again at that time.
She raised her hand and swore to the heavens that she would never marry Zheng Wenli.
Enraged, Ding Dahu grabbed Ding Mei's raised hand and pressed it back down onto the edge of the kang (heated brick bed).
He swung the sole of his shoe and hit this unfilial daughter again.
Ding Mei was in so much pain that she kept asking him to hit her somewhere else, but he wouldn't agree.
They'll hit me for a while, scold me for a while, and then lecture me with grand principles.
Ding Mei disagreed, so she continued fighting for a while longer.
He only let go when Ding Mei pretended to faint.
Let Xie Chunfang come over and play the bad cop.
She also talked about how men fear choosing the wrong career and women fear marrying the wrong man, and that when looking for a partner, one must consider family background, and so on, trying to instill a whole bunch of her ideas in Ding Mei.
In the end, Ding Mei also kicked her out.
I took off my pants and looked in the mirror; my buttocks were all purple.
Ding Mei cried like a tearful person.
Ding Dahu went back and forth several times that day.
Ding Mei has learned her lesson and no longer argues with him, otherwise her bottom won't be able to take it.
Then Xu Shu entered Cao Cao's camp—without uttering a single word.
Later, Ding Dahu asked her for her statement: "Are you going to agree or not? If you don't say anything, I'll accept the bride price from the Zheng family. We agreed on a bride price of three hundred yuan, a wedding house in the city, a three-wheeled watch and a radio, and a large wardrobe."
The terms offered by Zheng Wenli were indeed tempting.
Xie Chunfang was extremely tempted.
A Shanghai brand watch, a Forever bicycle, a Bee brand sewing machine, and a radio—these were the "three turns and one sound" that so many girls dreamed of but could never have!
They brought it up themselves without even asking for it.
But Ding Mei didn't like it at all.
He didn't speak, but shook his head.
Ding Dahu was so angry that he took off his shoes again.
Terrified, Ding Mei hid in a corner of the kang (a heated brick bed) and cried.
Ding Dahu also felt sorry for him:
"So tell me, if you're not looking for someone like this, what kind of person are you looking for?"
Ding Mei wiped away her tears and said, "Dad, can you let me make my own decision? Once I've made up my mind, I'll tell you who I like."
"Hey you brat, don't you have any shame? You like some jerk? Who is it? Tell me, and I won't beat you up!"
Ding Youliang guessed from the side:
"Hey girl, do you like Yang Ming? He keeps asking me about you."
"Pooh!"
Ding Mei glared at him.
Xie Chunfang asked, "So you like Tiezhu? He's a year older than you, but he's too poor!"
Ding Mei shook her head: "Stop guessing. I don't know if he likes me or not. Give me a few days."
Ding Dahu smacked her on the head with his shoe: "Go to hell, you shameless thing! Marriage is a major life event, decided by the parents! Now that your mother is dead, it's my decision! You think you can find someone yourself? You little brat, who do you think you can judge?"
Ding Dahu was dragged away by Ding Youliang and Xie Chunfang.
However, Ding Dahu's temper flared up, and the more he drank in that room, the angrier he became, and he would come over every now and then.
One round of cursing and swearing, another round of earnest persuasion, and yet another round of intimidation and threats.
Ding Mei had experienced firsthand her father's shameless nature.
Finally, Ding Dahu said he would give Ding Mei one day.
If Ding Mei can't give a reasonable explanation, he'll force her to marry into the Zheng family, even if it means forcing her into marriage.
Ding Mei lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and cried until nightfall. Finally, she gritted her teeth and ran to find Lu Yao.
