They intended to halt Zhou Chong and the others and inquire, but their attempts were ignored as they swiftly passed, infuriating Ding Dalang and his brother.
Upon reaching the Zhang Village, Ding Erzhu's yard was already locked. A neighbor, with a smile, informed them that Ding Erzhu and his wife, along with their children and mother-in-law, had taken a carriage to Shaoding Village.
Fifth Grandpa Ding's eyes gleamed with hope. "Did he come back to find us?"
The neighbor, familiar with this peculiar family, rolled his eyes and chuckled. "You've already severed ties. How could that be? They went to Lord Shao's house!"
Fifth Grandpa Ding was nearly incensed!
The neighbors, unconcerned, continued to gossip and laugh about how Elder Brother Ding and Sister-in-law were relishing life. Ding Xiang's success had brought them many valuable gifts…
Fifth Grandma Ding's heart pained. Those possessions were rightfully hers!
