258 Confused No Longer

Ms. Zhou saw that too. She went to catch her son and pacified him. “Just calm down, we will eat it later.”

The sweet scent of melon spread around.

Fifth Grandma Ding could not help but swallow down her saliva.

She could not help but ask. “What is that thing? Where did you get it from?”

Ms. Zhou became vigilant and snapped. “Ms. Fang gave it to Shi, a watermelon found in the mountains.”

No one had ever seen a melon in the village, nor had anyone heard about melons at the Shao Family’s yard, so Ms. Zhou thought that the melon was found in the mountain by Shao Xiaoqi.

Fifth Grandma Ding snorted but could not move her eyes away from the watermelon.

Ding Xiaoshi’s fingers had dug out a piece, and the sunk part was filled with watermelon juice, which made it look really tasty.

Fifth Grandma Ding wanted to have a taste of it but she did not want to say it. The truth was that she was drooling already!

In the past, Ding Erzhu would have cut a generous part and given it to her, but Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou showed no reaction now.

Fifth Grandma Ding snapped, when she could not ask for it openly. “They always bring a lot of things home, but watch out, they eat mushrooms that kill people. This must be a horrible thing too!”

Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou got angry.

Ms. Zhou said in a trembling voice, “It is none of your business.”

Ms. Fang was so friendly and they had accepted her offer. They did not need to hear any comments from others.

Ms. Zhou mustered up her courage to counter her mother-in-law.

Fifth Grandma Ding got annoyed and snapped at Ms. Zhou.

Ding Erzhu could not stand that any more and dragged her out.

Fifth Grandma Ding shouted some more and finally left.

She mumbled. “Heartless people, don’t even let me have a taste of it…”

She could not help but feel like tasting it.

“Just… don’t take what she said to your heart…”

Ding Erzhu mumbled.

Ms. Zhou sneered. “I used to be stupid, but I will not be foolish any more!”

Ding Erzhu was stuck speechless.

Fifth Grandma Ding rushed home in anger and when Fifth Grandpa Ding saw the things brought back intact, he snapped. “Why are you bringing them back?”

Fifth Grandma Ding sneered. “They are hanging out with Ms. Fang! They don’t want our things. They just turned me down! Do you think I should have still pushed it to them?”

Fifth Grandpa Ding was startled. “How could that be possible?”

“Why not?” Fifth Grandma Ding sneered. “Maybe you can have a try?”

Fifth Grandpa Ding fell in silence.

He sighed…

How could it have become like this?

The following day, the first section of the Shao Family ate breakfast. Afterwards, Shao Taotao took Ms. Xu, and Yang Xiaoni into the floral field for lipsticks. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went on the bull cart and fetched Ding Erzhu and his family, so that they could all head towards the Zhang Village.

After the wheat was cropped, Qiao Xuan had not seen the field but had long planned to. It was just the right time.

There was no house built there, so Qiao Xuan went to the Land Officer and paid the bill for Ding Erzhu and his family to settle for the time being.
