Everyone ignored her
Chapter 864 Everyone ignored her
Dong Mingming cried. She had caught a cold and felt really, really uncomfortable. She had wanted her mother to take her to the clinic after get off work at noon.
Unexpectedly, her mother came into the house and ignored everything. In the morning, she told her mother that she would not go to school in the morning because she felt unwell and hoped that her mother would take her to the clinic at noon.
After all, she couldn't rely on her grandmother, and this so-called older sister was even more unthinkable; she wouldn't dare to open her mouth and say anything to her.
But who would have thought that Mom would go straight into the kitchen as soon as she entered the house and start making dumplings for my eldest sister?
What could she say?
What could she do?
Dong Mingming suppressed her pain and secretly wiped away her tears. She didn't want to argue with her mother in front of so many people and embarrass her.
So he lowered his head and went into the kitchen.
The kneaded dough was placed in a bowl. The dough wasn't very big, and she wasn't even sure if she could eat any.
Tears welled up again as she thought: Life is so meaningless. How wonderful it would be to die. Death would be a relief, and I wouldn't have to face these painful and distressing things every day.
But how do you die?
The fifteen-year-old girl turned her head to look outside the kitchen.
This is the third floor. Could I die if I jump?
At this moment, Lian Liying said with a smile, "Director Wang, Chairman Qian, please have a seat. I have to go now."
Dong Yuanyuan gritted her teeth; this woman was always like this.
Director Wang and Chairman Qian exchanged a glance. Director Wang sighed and, instead of addressing Dong Yuanyuan, said to Grandma Dong, "Grandma, Yuanyuan just mentioned that she wanted to tell us about this situation. I think it's not a big deal. We're all family, why make things so complicated? We've seen it all over the years. To say that Lian Liying treated Yuanyuan badly is simply not true."
Chairman Qian quickly chimed in, "Oh dear, everything's fine. Look how harmonious your family is. That's how life is; everyone has their disagreements."
Then the two of them stood up, and Director Wang said, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."
Dong Yuanyuan snorted indifferently. Grandma Dong said, "Then you two go ahead and get busy. I'll keep an eye on things. Even if she wants to mistreat my precious granddaughter, she won't dare."
That's what I meant...
However, Director Wang and Chairman Qian didn't want to cause any more trouble, as this family's affairs were nothing new in this residential compound.
However, Lian Liying is a gentle person with incredible patience. She has been very tolerant of Dong Yuanyuan since she was a child, and treats her even better than her own.
Even if Dong Yuanyuan wanted to make a scene, she basically wouldn't be able to.
The two left, and no one paid any attention to Dong Mingming, who was kneading dough mechanically in the kitchen.
Everyone ignored her.
Little Cangcang naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. After it learned that Director Wang and Chairman Qian had entered the opposite door, it flew in with a whoosh and toured the whole place. Then, it came back and whispered to Lu Qiaoge about it.
Then, Little Cangcang concluded by saying, "Little master, I don't think Dong Yuanyuan, who has a stepmother, is pitiful. The most pitiful one is Dong Mingming."
Lu Qiaoge nodded. Yes, this little girl is quite pitiful.
She was always sacrificed by her mother from time to time.
She might even be sacrificed by her father.
Everything he did was to please Dong Yuanyuan.
As far as she knew, the Dong family was a well-known family in Beidu, but the Liu family, Dong Yuanyuan's maternal grandfather's family, was a cut above the Dong family.
Back then, this marriage was a step up for the Dong family.
I never imagined it would turn out like that in less than seven years.
The instigator was that third party, Lian Liying. However, she really didn't know anything about Lian Liying's family situation.
But none of this has much to do with Lu Qiaoge.
Lu Qiaoge smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen.
So he told Xiao Cangcang not to pay attention to the neighbor across the street anymore, and not to wander around the compound, as the security level here was much higher than that of the Qin family's compound.
Although the main camps are located in the suburbs, this area is also the center of the military region.
Qin Hengzhi put the lid back on the pot. Inside was sweet and sour pork ribs, which were taken away from a restaurant before and had been put away by Lu Qiaoge. He just took them out and heated them up.
The aroma wafted out quickly; it smelled wonderful.
He was genuinely surprised by what Lu Qiaoge's space was like, as it even had a preservation function.
His thoughts were fleeting. He said to Lu Qiaoge, who had just walked in, "The club is showing a movie tonight. Let's go see a movie."
Just like 516, this place has everything.
However, there is no workers' cultural palace here; it is called a club, which is a large movie screening room with a stage where various programs can be performed.
Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave work at the normal time tonight."
"Then I'll come pick you up."
"No need, I'll drive back myself."
"That works too. It'll be a good opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the location of the garage."
The two chatted casually, slowly and leisurely, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, mingled with the aroma of meat from the kitchen, forming a scene of everyday life.
Hua Hua lay lazily on the sofa.
Two swallows and three sparrows had already flown out through the half-open window crack.
The three sparrows circled around and landed on the windowsill outside the Dong family's kitchen across the street.
Dong Mingming, who was watching someone chop meat, looked out the window with a pale face.
Then I saw a titmouse perched on the windowsill.
A look of surprise appeared on her face. She quickly put down the kitchen knife, opened the cupboard, took out a cloth bag, grabbed a small handful of millet, and opened the kitchen window. To her astonishment, she saw that the little sparrow hadn't flown away but was standing on the windowsill looking at her.
So she gently placed the millet on the windowsill and whispered, "This is millet, it's delicious, you can have some."
Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind: "Dong Mingming, you spendthrift! Who told you to feed that dead sparrow with the family's grain?"
Dong Mingming trembled with fright, her face turning even paler. Turning her head, she saw Dong Yuanyuan standing in the kitchen with a gloomy expression. She mustered her courage and said, "I... I didn't give it much, just a little bit."
Dong Yuanyuan didn't care about the millet; she was just using the opportunity to make a scene. She yanked Dong Mingming away and, sure enough, saw Sanque standing on the windowsill, head down, pecking at the millet grains one by one, completely unconcerned.
That posture was as elegant as could be.
A malicious glint flashed in Dong Yuanyuan's eyes as she reached out to grab the little sparrow, saying, "I heard fried sparrows are delicious, restaurants call them fried iron birds. You've walked right into their trap! Serves you right for being so greedy!"
Behind her, Dong Mingming, pale-faced, cried out, "Fly! Fly! Stop eating!"
Then she boldly pulled at Dong Yuanyuan, who was reaching out to catch the sparrows, but unexpectedly, the three sparrows had already taken off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Dong Yuanyuan grabbed at empty air, turned around and saw Dong Mingming behind her. She shoved her and cursed, "You idiot, it's all your fault! You owe me a sparrow!"
