246 Fifth Grandpa Ding’s Grudge

The vegetables sent by others were all vegetables produced in the field, and at most one bowl of rice, or a bowl of leftovers was added. Seeing that Ms. Fang and her family was so generous, who had given rice and noodles, it would add up to ten kilograms. There were more than a dozen eggs, so they were all shocked.

“You are so generous, Ms. Fang!”

“There are eggs too!”

“Oh they are so rich…”

They all turned to Qiao Xuan subconsciously, and thought without any hesitation. The first section of the Qiao Family had a very rich daughter-in-law, so they were offering so much.

“I am just here visiting you all…” Ms. Fang smiled, feeling both proud and happy. Her daughter-in-law was not only rich, generous but also very good at making money. But she needed to keep a low-profile otherwise they were all going to be even more jealous.

Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu were shocked.

Ms. Zhou shedded tears. “Ms. Fang, this is so generous of you… we have eggs…”

“Just keep them for the child!” Ms. Fang patted Ms. Zhou’s hands, feeling a bit sorry for her who looked pale and skinny as well as the starved boy next to her.

Ms. Zhou felt her heart break, and could not turn down her offer.

“Thank you…” She sobbed.

They could not help but console her, seeing her shedding tears.

When it started to get late, they all went home to make food.

Ms. Qiao and Ms. Fang left as well.

Ms. Fang added. “We are all living in the same village, if you ever need any help, just tell us, don’t be shy.”

Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu nodded and sobbed. “Thank you so much, Ms. Fang!”

When everyone else was gone, the small house was quiet again.

Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu felt so sorrowful and relaxed as well. But they seemed to have seen hope ahead.

Ding Erzhu said, “I will go and dig a field tomorrow. I will not allow you two to get hungry. We will get better, little by little.”

Ms. Zhou nodded and sounded nosal. “But… Ding Xiang… ahhhh…”

Her daughter was gone, forever! Ms. Zhou could not help but sob.

“Don’t cry…” Ding Erzhu patted her on her shoulders, and could not stop shedding tears too.

He regretted having lived like this for the past few years. Yet it was too late to think about this now.

No matter what else he could do, his daughter was gone, forever!

Fifth Grandpa Ding was also aware that the fellow villagers had delivered some things to Ding Erzhu and his wife, but he did not stop them. It would have made him look too cruel.

But they would not deliver any food to them because they would not bend down for them.

Fifth Grandpa Ding felt a bit annoyed.

He did not like it when Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou had no idea what they ought to do.

They should not be blamed for Ding Xiang’s disappearance. It was Ding Xiang’s fault that she was gone! She was a grandchild who should have obeyed her grandparents’ words rather than do everything on her own!

She not only countered them, but also humiliated them!

Also, she did not listen to his suggestions!

Worse, she ran away from the ancestral hall and ended up dead. So what? It was all her fault!
