Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

They, who were fierce, never thought about killing Ding Xiang. She was a living person, their child!

Fifth Grandma Ding panicked above all. It had been she who caused all of this to happen!

The more anxious she was, the more she tried to calm herself down. She pushed the fault onto Ding Xiang. “Damned girl, how dare she rebel! Who taught her this? She doesn’t want to be punished? Damned girl, totally damned!”

Inside the room, Ms. Zhou threw herself into Ding Erzhu’s arms, crying with hatred. “Just listen to what your mom is saying! How can she be so fierce as to call Ding Xiang names? She is trying to get us all killed!”

Ding Erzhu’s veins on his forehead popped, as he patted her shoulders, whispering. “Just… calm down, Ding Xiang… she should be fine!”

During the night, most families in the village started to talk about this. They sighed.

Those parents and grandparents, who never paid enough attention to their children, started to panic as well. They all said that it was Ding Xiang’s fault for being rude and hot-tempered…

Qiao Xuan was more certain by this point that Ding Xiang had escaped the village.

She had seen that Ding Xiang was different from the other village girls, and this was exactly what she would have done.

The images in her head had shown that Ding Xiang would definitely become an outstanding and successful woman. But an isolated village girl like her, who intended to escape from her original family, would definitely have to go through some misery first.

Qiao Xuan felt quite emotional, and she looked a bit conflicted.

Shao Yunduan took Qiao Xuan back to the room after dinner.

He closed the door instantly, and with one hand on Qiao Xuan’s shoulder, he looked at her seriously.

Startled, Qiao Xuan looked up at him.

Shao Yunduan sighed inwardly. He had noticed that she was absent-minded the whole evening.

Shao Yunduan suppressed his voice. “Listen, you should never reveal anything about your visit to the ancestral hall last night, got it?”

Ding Xiang was gone after her visit.

She would surely be suspected if something really happened to Ding Xiang.

Then, it would be very difficult to make an explanation.

Qiao Xuan nodded, as her heart turned warm. “I won’t…”

“Just calm down,” Shao Yunduan said gently, as he looked more relaxed.

“It is not very surprising, when a stubborn girl like her would run away from the Ding Family. It actually might be a good thing for her…”

She had mentioned how she felt about Ding Xiang the night before, and now Ding Xiang was gone.

Shao Yunduan could not help but console her, fearing that she would be saddened by her disappearance.

Qiao Xuan nodded and then leaned against Shao Yunduan involuntarily, saying with a low voice, “I am calm. I even think that Ding Xiang will have a bright future…”

She just regretted not having given Ding Xiang some money.

Shao Yunduan stiffened, and lifted his arm, patting her lightly. “Maybe…”

Shao Yunduan was actually not very sure about it.
