Chapter 1136: No Trouble

Hearing the suggestion, Fifth Grandma Ding found it appealing. She clenched her teeth and said, “My Second Son is heartless. Since he doesn’t want us anymore, there’s no point in trying to bring him back. It doesn’t matter if we find him or not!”
Yang Xiaoni sneered, feeling a mix of bitterness and anger in her heart. She understood this situation all too well. Her brother and sister-in-law were just like Fifth Grandma Ding. Shao Sanlang comfortingly squeezed her hand.
Startled, Taotao couldn’t comprehend how a mother could be so heartless.
Qiao Xuan spoke calmly, “You seem to be misunderstanding something. Why would I need to hire someone from your family specifically instead of others?”
Fifth Grandma Ding and her daughter-in-law were taken aback.
“It’s my business whom I hire. It has nothing to do with your family! You can go home now and drop this topic.”
Fifth Grandma Ding was about to say something when Yang Xiaoni stepped forward to defend Qiao Xuan, pushing her family away.
Fifth Grandma Ding glared at their retreating figures and returned home, feeling defeated.
Qiao Xuan felt a sense of satisfaction; they deserved it!
During the time she helped Ding Erzhu’s family, she had suppressed her anger, hoping for an opportunity to put Fifth Grandma Ding’s family in their place. However, she couldn’t reveal her plans earlier, as it might complicate matters.
But the situation had changed now. They couldn’t afford to cause any trouble.
Qiao Xuan refused to believe that Ding Xiang was dead. In her heart, she held onto the belief that Ding Xiang might be toiling away somewhere, working hard. As long as she was alive, there would come a day when she returned. What was the point of not coming back for revenge once she became successful?
When that day arrived, Fifth Grandpa Ding and his family would be in deep trouble.
They couldn’t bear it anymore? Well, they had a long way to go!
Back at home, Ms. Fang overheard Taotao’s account of the situation – how Fifth Grandma Ding and her two daughter-in-laws tried to stop Qiao Xuan. She grew agitated and expressed her disgust, saying, “Just ignore them. They are a horrible family and have been causing trouble for far too long. Ding Erzhu had no choice but to seek help from the Land Officer and the senior members of the village. And now they’re back at it again!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and replied, “They don’t need me, and I couldn’t care less about them either!”
Ms. Fang chuckled and agreed, “Very true!”
Eldest Uncle couldn’t resist adding, “They claim to leave Ding Erzhu with nothing, but he is still the Ding Family’s son. It’s not good for their reputation to be so heartless. You and Fifth Brother could try to mend things, say a few good words, and let bygones be bygones. After all, they are biological children…”
Qiao Xuan rolled her eyes and chose not to respond. She had already composed herself, knowing that her Father-in-law had a habit of being meddlesome, and it was best to ignore his comments. There was no point in arguing because it wouldn’t change anything, and she couldn’t agree with him.
Thankfully, her Mother-in-law would handle him.
True to form, Ms. Fang sneered, “Heartless? You caused your own granddaughter’s death, and you drove your own son out of the family with nothing. That’s what I call heartless! How could you expect to be forgiven? Stop being so repulsive!”
Eldest Uncle found himself at a loss for words. He was about to defend himself, but Ms. Fang and Qiao Xuan walked away.
“Pay no attention to the old man! He’s been acting out of line for a long time!”
Ms. Fang continued, “You may not know this, but when news spread about the valuable fields and tea plantations in Zhang Village, the third section of the family made a big fuss. What a joke! They even wanted a share of it, and the second section of the family joined in as well! But when they realized there was no share for them, they decided to become managers. No one dares to appoint them, of course!”
