Chapter 258 No More Confusion
Zhou also saw it, and came back to her senses with a cry of "Ah", hurried over to pick up her son, and coaxed him with concern: "Be good, eat later."
A sweet melon scent filled the air.
Grandma Ding Wu couldn't help swallowing.
She didn't want to ask, but couldn't help asking, "What is that? Where did you get it?"
Zhou became alert and said immediately, "This is a melon that Fang, the eldest wife of the Shao family in the east of the village, gave to Shitou to eat. It was found in the mountains."
No one in the village had ever grown this melon, and there was no news that the eldest branch of the Shao family had grown any new melons. Shao Xiaoqi would bring back some from the mountains from time to time, so Zhou naturally assumed that this melon was also a night melon found in the mountains.
Grandma Ding Wu snorted, but her eyes were fixed on the half watermelon.
Ding Xiaoshi dug out a small piece of the bright red and sandy melon flesh with his fingers. The small depression was soon filled with red melon juice, which looked delicious.
Grandma Ding Wu really wanted to try it. Although she didn’t say it, her expression was very clear.
If it were in the past, Ding Erzhu would have cut off a piece and respectfully offered it to her, but now neither Ding Erzhu nor Zhou had any reaction.
Grandma Ding Wu was too embarrassed to ask for it herself, and she sneered in anger, "The eldest wife of the Shao family dares to bring anything home and eat everything. You should be more capable and don't follow their example! Those mushrooms are poisonous and this melon may not be a good thing!"
Ding Erzhu and Zhou were both furious.
Zhou said in a trembling voice: "No, it's none of your business."
Mrs. Fang has good intentions, genuine good intentions, they just need to accept her kindness, there is no need for others to gossip!
For Zhou, who never dared to contradict her mother-in-law, this sentence took great courage.
Grandma Ding Wu got angry like a cat whose tail was stepped on and started to curse Zhou.
Ding Erzhu couldn't stand it anymore and asked her to leave.
Grandma Ding Wu was so angry that she cursed a few words and left angrily.
She muttered, "What a shameless person! He didn't even let me have a bite of that melon."
Thinking of the sweet aroma of the melon, she couldn't help swallowing again.
"You, you don't have to take her words to heart."
Ding Erzhu murmured.
Zhou sneered: "I have been confused enough before, I will not be confused again!"
Ding Erzhu was speechless for a moment.
Grandma Ding Wu came back home furiously. Seeing that she brought the things back intact, Grandpa Ding Wu couldn't help but widen his eyes and scolded: "Why did you bring them back again? What have you done?"
Grandma Ding Wu sneered: "They are now in a hot relationship with the Shao family's eldest wife Fang and others. How can they be interested in our things? It's not that I don't want to give it to them, but they don't want it! Haha, if I don't bring it back, will I throw it away?"
Master Ding Wu was stunned: "How is this possible?"
"How is that impossible!" Grandma Ding Wu sneered: "How about you go again?"
Master Ding Wu was silent.
He let out a long sigh.
How could this happen? How did it become like this?
The next day, the eldest wife of the Shao family had breakfast early. Shao Taotao took Xu and Yang Xiaoni to the flower field to make lipstick again. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan drove the rented ox cart and picked up Ding Erzhu's family of three at the entrance of the village, and went to Zhangjia Village together.
Qiao Xuan hasn't been to see the rice fields in Zhangjia Village since they started planting rice there. She had been planning to go take a look, and now is a good time.
There was no house here originally, so Qiao Xuan found the head of Zhangjia Village, gave him some money, and temporarily settled Ding Erzhu and his family of three.
