Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1504: Distorting the Truth

Editor: Henyee Translations

Fifth Grandpa Ding was left speechless.

This time, the murmurs in the crowd grew even louder. Essentially, everyone grasped that Ding Xiang had genuinely encountered some stroke of luck outside. She had sent someone back to seek retribution! The family of Fifth Grandpa Ding would likely have a challenging time today, facing significant embarrassment…

Fifth Grandpa Ding hadn’t yet formulated a response when someone in the crowd spoke up on his behalf.

A voice proclaimed loudly, “Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou? They left with nothing!”

“Shut up! Shut up! Are you the only one who knows how to speak, huh?!” Fifth Grandma Ding rolled her eyes and scolded the onlookers.

...
She then turned her ire on Zhou Chong, “Those two unfilial things only care about their own pleasure and abandoned us a long time ago! Unfilial wretches! Why are you still mentioning them? Don’t mention them again! You people.”

She shot a fierce glare at the villagers observing the commotion and issued a warning, “What business is it of yours? Only you have a mouth and can talk! Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t understand. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite. If you continue sizing up our family and think we’re easy to bully, you’ll regret it!”

The woman who had spoken earlier pursed her lips and mumbled something under her breath, but she dared not say anything more.

The others caught wind of Fifth Grandma Ding’s threat. They forced smiles and found it difficult to speak.

This old woman was a troublemaker. Ding Xiang must have struck gold. Bringing back numerous large carts and horses constituted a substantial fortune. The Ding Family likely eyed her with red-hot envy. If things went awry and they couldn’t lay claim to it, anyone daring to speak up would undoubtedly face a confrontation from the other family.

Why stir up such trouble!

Observing Fifth Grandma Ding’s two daughters-in-law, they immediately began disparaging Ding Erzhu and Ms.Zhou.

“What do you mean by leaving with nothing? No way! It was clearly the two of them who were lazy and let Father and Mother scold them before running away in a fit of pique.”

“That’s right. They caused a lot of trouble at home. They were lazy and greedy, making Father and Mother angry. Our two families have done countless jobs for them, but we didn’t complain!”

“They left just like that and never showed filial piety to their parents again. They’re ruthless.”

“That is true!”

The villagers collectively stood there in stunned silence!

Could they really go this far?!

It was a rare sight for someone to be so righteous and self-righteous.

Zhou Chong, Qingyun, and the others were on the brink of exploding from anger.

If it weren’t for the fact that it was inappropriate, Qingyun would have spat in their faces.

Qing Lan suddenly cried out. She slapped her head and said with a smile, “Oh, I have a bad memory. How could I forget? Before we came here, Madam had already sent someone back to ask around. Madam said that her parents are now working for Lord Shao in the Zhang Village. We are on the wrong path. Why don’t we go to Mr. Shao’s house to pay our respects? Let’s go to the Zhang Village first. We will visit Mr. Shao’s house later.”

The chorus from Fifth Grandma Ding’s two daughters-in-law came to an abrupt halt—

Qingyun also giggled and clapped her hands. “That’s right, that’s right. That’s the best! When you see our Old Master and Madam, ask them. Won’t you know everything?”

Zhou Chong sneered. “It’s naturally not without evidence. There must be records, right? One look and you’ll know! It can’t be fake!”

As he spoke, he signaled for the coachman to turn around. The group of people shouted and prepared to leave.

Fifth Grandpa Ding and his family were dumbfounded.

Ding Dalang and Ding Sanlang stomped their feet, about to rush forward to snatch the horses, when they were kicked out by the guards and scolded, “Are your Ding family bandits? How dare you rob in broad daylight!”
