Chapter 256 - 256 Nosy
256 Nosy
The couple got overjoyed and could not wait to immediately implement the plan.
“Don’t worry, we will work hard and watch the fields, and we will never reveal anything to anyone!”
Ms. Zhou sobbed. “I really have no idea what to say…”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “I need to hire someone to watch over the fields anyway. We know you well and trust you. Some land officers can be sneaky and the business may not be so easy. So, please, Second Uncle Ding, I will check the fields every 15 days, the rest will be in your hands.”
Ding Erzhu panicked a little, feeling nervous and anxious. He had never watched over any fields before, and he had no idea whether he would be able to do a good job at it. But he cherished this opportunity that no one else had got.
Also, for his family who had already fallen in despair, it was an excellent thing!
“I will be fully devoted!”
When the deal was done, Qiao Xuan told them with a smile that they should move there early, in fact the next morning. She asked them to wait outside the village.
She and Shao Yunduan would take the bull there and pick them up.
Since the deal was a secret, no one from the village should see them together.
Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu nodded.
As the couple said bye to Ms. Qiao and Ms. Fang, both of them felt a huge load off their chests. They were highly motivated.
“Good, this is good!”
“Yeah! Ms. Fang and her whole family are nice people! We have to work hard!”
“Yes, of course!”
At Fifth Grandpa Ding’s home.
Fifth Grandpa Ding heard about Ding Xiaoshi’s fever getting better and let out a sigh of relief. But then, he felt even more annoyed. He believed that the Shao Family should not get involved with them.
But for the Shao Family, he might have forced Ding Erzhu and his wife to come back home.
As of now, he looked like the ruthless one!
“Nosy family! They are burning their money!”
Fifth Grandpa Ding complained and asked Fifth Grandma Ding to take ten eggs, several kgs of rice and some beans, eggplants and chilis to visit Ding Erzhu and his family.
“Just go and check on them. They are still part of the Ding clan!”
Fifth Grandma Ding snorted unhappily but did not counter him.
Yes, they should not be too cruel because the villagers were spreading all sorts of rumors!
But it was their fault! It was her second son and his weird family who knew nothing better!
They were weirdos who pretended to be honest and obedient! They were actually the opposite!
This matter should not have become such a big deal!
Fifth Grandma Ding got so annoyed whenever she thought about this.
Visit them? Give them food?
“No way! They don’t deserve the eggs! They will never get any food from us!”
Fifth Grandma Ding snapped and took four eggs out of ten, and scooped out a bowl of rice. After that, she left for Ding Erzhu’s residence with the eggs, rice and vegetables.
The watermelon was sweet, red and juicy. When Ms. Qiao and Ms. Fang left, Ms. Zhou asked Ding Erzhu to cut it open and feed Ding Xiaoshi.
Ding Xiaoshi loved it and smiled brightly.
The couple tasted it too and praised it highly.
