245 Nothing Attached
Had they been treated with respect, they would not have heard words like this.
Hence, they nodded without hesitation.
They wanted to move out of the family immediately, and started to live separately.
Ding Erzhu even got a Land Officer and Tribe Chief as witnesses.
Fifth Grandpa Ding was so surprised and frightened that he wanted to sneak into the ground out of humiliation.
How could this obedient son of his become so stubborn?
But he could not revoke his words. He would be even more humiliated if he went back on it. So the whole thing was solved directly.
With the young son in their arms, Ding Erzhu packed some clothes whilst Ms. Zhou carried away two cages of her dowries and left the Ding Family.
Fifth Grandpa Ding was so fierce that he did not even give them any food.
He expected them to come and beg for him when they could not survive.
He would like to see how they could live!
Ding Erzhu and his wife temporarily moved into a barren house close to the village.
Many villagers showed sympathy and gave them some food.
But it depended on them how they were going to survive.
Ms. Fang did not like Fifth Grandma Ding, but she felt sorry for Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu. Though she kept saying that it was their own fault for being weak that they were in this state now. Yet that was their personality, which could not be changed easily.
It was, after all, the old grandma of the Ding Family who had caused all of these.
Ms. Fang took a small pot, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, a wooden bucket, some rice, noodles, vegetables, oil, salt, and a dozen eggs from home, and asked Mrs. Xu and Yang Xiaoni to send the things to the couple.
They were rich enough to spare some stuff, and Ms. Fang was very generous.
She said to Qiao Xuan and smiled. “You don’t need to go over, it is really filthy there!”
Ms. Fang apparently was favoring Qiao Xuan, and if the other daughter-in-laws of hers were stingy enough, they would get angry as to why they were told to go, but not Qiao Xuan.
But Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni did not find it wrong, let alone having anything against that.
But Qiao Xuan felt a bit guilty about it. She felt that it was not so good when her mother-in-law showed the bias so blatantly.
“It is fine, Mom. I can go and see them!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and picked up the basket of eggs.
Ms. Fang believed that she was just curious. She smiled. “Alright then, you can go and check it if you want to.”
Qiao Xuan really wanted to have a look at the couple.
Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou as well as their son had broken their relationship with Fifth Grandpa Ding and their life must be hard. Ms. Zhou was not very healthy and they had a three-year-old to take care of.
Qiao Xuan and Ding Xiang exchanged a few words and they wondered when Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu would manage to get back to their feet.
She wanted to go and visit them so if she asked them for help later, the proposal would not be so sudden.
When Qiao Xuan and her team arrived, the villagers were there too.
They were all curious about how such a thing happened because it had never happened in decades in the village.
At this moment, Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou had already got many things piled up in their house, which were all gifts from the villagers.
They had even repaired the house with wood and straws.
