"There's nothing we can do about it. The feud between the Huang and Ding families can be traced back several generations. Now that we've encountered such a good opportunity, we can't just give up on revenge because of Ding Wan."
Huang Shi's persistent attacks on the Ding family are partly due to his son, but the grudges against the Jiang family play a larger role.
He had never seen anyone more repulsive than the Ding family; they were as disgusting as wild dogs.
When they run out of money and food, they start to scheme and plot, not wanting to benefit themselves but also making life difficult for others.
The Huang family has suffered greatly from this.
“That’s right,” Sister-in-law Huang said, conflicted. “But no matter how I think about it, it’s still hard to accept.”
She didn't want Ding Wan to have her way at all.
In all my years, this is the first time I've ever felt such disgust for someone, the kind of disgust that makes me feel terrible just looking at them.
"You're already venting your anger now," Huang Shi said dismissively. "Since she's going to pretend, she should pretend until the very end, otherwise..."
Given his cold-hearted and selfish nature, he would find a way to retaliate without anyone else having to lift a finger.
But if she continues to pretend, given her son's spoiled nature, Ding Wan will inevitably suffer a lot of grievances.
In short, no matter what, Ding Wan's life was not easy.
Sister-in-law Huang also thought about these things, hesitated for a while, and finally came to terms with it, "Well, she's not having an easy time right now, let's leave it at that for now."
If you're feeling upset, it's never too late to sort things out.
I used to be afraid to do this or that because I was worried about my son.
Now I don't have to worry about anything, and I won't feel as stifled as before.
“That’s the point,” Huang Shi nodded, a smile appearing on his face. “Neither the mountains nor Ding Wan have much strength. The only thing trapping us is ourselves. Just let it go.”
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Huang seemed to understand something, "You're right."
"Let's go eat. We still need to visit Mom later, so we can't delay any longer."
"What are we going there for?" Sister-in-law Huang asked, puzzled. "Neither Mother nor Ya Ya likes us. We'd better go there less often to avoid annoying them."
Now that she had regained her senses, Sister-in-law Huang realized that she had indeed gone too far before, and it was no wonder she was disliked.
Moreover, the two families have too many grudges against each other, and even if they try their best to please each other, things can't be the same as before.
“I know,” Huang Shi said with a wry smile, “but some things can only be asked of them.”
"With so many people in Huangjiakou, is there still no way to deal with them?"
“No, that’s not it,” Huang Shi shook his head. “I want to use this opportunity to get rid of the Ding family and make sure they can no longer stay in Ping’an County.”
If it weren't for this plan, we could have dealt with these people long ago, without wasting so much time.
"Will it work?" Sister-in-law Huang still had concerns.
"Give it a try, and we'll see if it works. It's just a matter of time and a little talk."
"I'll go with you."
"become!"
The couple had completely forgotten about Huang Chuan and Ding Wan, who were in the room.
Huang Shan deliberately gave Sister-in-law Huang a hard time. Even though he was hungry, he kept quiet, hoping that she would give in first.
But when they found out the person wasn't home at all, their face immediately turned green. "What do they take me for?"
"There might be something important going on, Shan-ge, don't be upset. Since Auntie isn't here, let's take care of ourselves and see if there's anything to eat at home."
Huang Shan instinctively wanted to retort, but then he heard his stomach rumble.
Finally, with a cold snort, he reluctantly agreed.
However, Sister-in-law Huang had already taken precautions against this. All the food was locked in the cupboard, and with the two of them being too weak to even lift a brick, there was no hope of picking the lock. They could only watch helplessly.
"That's too much! That's absolutely outrageous!"
They're family, yet they treat him like a thief.
Ding Wan was also in a bad mood.
Sister-in-law Huang prepared very little food; she had been hungry for three meals and was far from full.
I was hoping to take this opportunity to fill my stomach, but...
However, she patiently reassured Huang Shan, "Don't worry, let's wait a bit. Maybe your aunt will be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Huang Shan suddenly tensed up. "Wan'er, do you think they might just leave without a trace?"
With Grandpa's example, it's impossible not to worry.
"No, they wouldn't abandon you."
“How could that not be?” Huang Shan became increasingly uneasy. “That’s just how my master is. We just went on a long trip, and he threw a tantrum and ran away from home, taking a thousand taels of silver with him. We don’t even know where he is now.”
One thousand taels of silver!
These words caused Ding Wan's expression to change slightly.
She spent ten years in the brothel and only managed to save a little over two thousand taels of silver, all of which she used to buy her freedom, while the old man was able to take away a thousand...
In that instant, Ding Wan thought of many things.
He became increasingly certain that Huang Shi and his wife truly loved their son deeply.
"This is your aunt and uncle's house, and with you here, where can they go? They just need to go out for a while, so don't worry about it."
“I didn’t think much of it,” Huang Shan said, becoming increasingly flustered. “They’ve long been impatient with me, and because I’ve squandered their money and caused them hardship, they’ve wanted to get rid of me, this burden, for a long time…”
“Brother Shan,” Ding Wan said helplessly, “nothing in the house has been touched. If they were leaving, they wouldn’t be leaving without taking anything with them.”
"The old man was like that too; he brought nothing but money with him."
Forehead……
Ding Wan was speechless.
She discovered that everyone in the Huang family was acting strangely.
After a long silence, he spoke softly, "We can't even afford meat at home now, so I imagine my aunt and uncle don't have much money."
“That’s right,” Huang Shan said with a gloomy expression and deep resentment. “We originally had eight hundred taels left, but unfortunately we encountered thieves in the capital and they stole it all.”
If the thieves hadn't had some conscience, they wouldn't even have had the money for their trip home.
"Therefore, Uncle and Aunt will never leave and never come back. Firstly, this is where their roots are, and you are here. Secondly, they have no money, and they would have to worry about making a living no matter where they go."
Hearing Huang Chuan say eight hundred taels with a pained expression, Ding Wan knew that even more must have been spent.
Parents who travel great distances to the capital for their son and spend so much money on medical treatment—how could they possibly abandon their child?
But Huangshan doesn't think so.
The old man's situation made him unable to trust his parents, and he began to become anxious.
"Wan'er, what should we do? What if they really leave? We won't even be able to open a cabinet door. Won't we just starve to death?"
As the saying goes, it's better to be stuffed than to starve.
He was feeling much better after a few days, but he didn't want to suffer so much before he died.
At this moment, Huangshan truly regretted it.
He shouldn't have been so tactless. If he really drove them away, who would take care of them?
"Brother Shan, I really won't, I promise."
"real?"
"I never lie to Brother Shan."
“Alright then,” Huang Shan said, though still anxious, he was less impatient. He pursed his lips and compromised, “Let’s wait and see.”
