Chapter 1133: The Ding Family

Editor:Henyee Translations

When Ms. Zhou faced bullying at her mother-in-laws home, Aunt Zhou never entertained the idea of divorcing her. Instead, she advised Ms. Zhou to endure the situation for at least a dozen years, speaking kindly to Fifth Grandma Ding.

However, everything changed when Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu severed ties with the Ding Family, leading to the tragic death of their granddaughter. This incident was the breaking point for the Zhou Family, and they decided to support their daughter and son-in-law, launching a strong retaliation against the Ding Family.

The once cordial relations.h.i.+p between the two families turned into deep-seated enmity.

As time pa.s.sed, Ms. Zhous daughter and son-in-law improved their living conditions, but the Ding Family still sought to take advantage of them. This further fueled Ms. Zhous animosity towards the Dings, as she believed they were responsible for her daughters death.

They were no longer considered relatives but bitter enemies, each wanting to harm the other.

Fortunately, the villagers from Zhang Village stepped in to support Ding Erzhu and his wife, standing up against the unreasonable actions of the Ding Family. They helped them in various ways, including working in the tea fields and creeping fig fields to earn money.

Even with the a.s.sistance from Shaoding Village during busy times, more laborers were still needed due to the expansion of the tea fields and the growing demand for labor in the workshop, which translated to more income.

What could the Ding Family offer them?

Heavens, they left their own son with nothing! The depth of their hatred is unimaginable!

How dare you show up at our doorstep with nothing to your name? Your familys actions are despicable!

Its no surprise that their actions bring nothing but harm. After all, no one can fathom forcing their own granddaughter to death.

You drove your own granddaughter to her death and left your son with nothing. How audacious of you to accuse me of being unfilial? Your cruelty knows no bounds!

Thats right! Shame on you!

Good things happen to good people. Just look at Second Brother Ding and Sister-in-law; they now lead a happy life, and anyone would be inspired by them!

True!

Fifth Grandma Ding and the others were seething with anger, embarra.s.sment, and annoyance. She glared at Ding Erzhu, ready to scratch him, and accused him of being unfilial for allowing outsiders to bully his parents.

However, before she could get close, someone intervened and stopped her.

What do you think youre doing?

You think you can a.s.sault people in our village? Try it!

Fifth Grandma Ding shouted in frustration, Thats my son! I have every right to teach him a lesson, and its none of your business!

An auntie retorted with a smile, Oh, now hes your son? Werent you just claiming he was nothing to you when you had nothing to offer him?

The villagers burst into laughter.

The Ding Family got nothing and were driven away, but they couldnt let it go. They returned to Shaoding Village, where Fifth Grandma Ding and Fifth Grandpa Ding confronted Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle, along with their two sons and daughters-in-law.

Shao Yunduan, being a respected figure and an officer, kept them from venting their anger. Otherwise, Fifth Grandma Ding would have engaged in an argument with Ms. Fang long ago. She struggled to remain reasonable amidst her fury.

However, Ms. Fang brushed off her words, pointing out that Ding Erzhu was driven out of the family with nothing, and the relations.h.i.+p was already broken off. In her opinion, there was nothing to discuss, and the matter could be addressed when Ding Erzhu and his wife returned.
