Chapter 1512: Asking For It

Editor: Henyee Translations

Fifth Grandma Ding was furious. “Witch—”

“Choose your words carefully,” Qing Lan warned coldly. “You will face consequences for publicly insulting the General’s wife’s mother!”

Fifth Grandma Ding was so frightened that she choked. She said angrily, “What? I’m her biological grandmother!”

“No,” Qing Lan said. “Everyone in the village can testify that our madam has nothing to do with your family!”

“You…”

...

Qing Yun and Qing Lan had initially aimed to teach these gossiping women a lesson in a nonchalant, casual manner, instilling fear to prevent them from provoking the General’s wife’s parents in the future. They intended to keep the punishment light.

However, Fifth Grandma Ding’s provocation led them to unleash the full force of their anger. Every slap landed with a solid impact, causing Fifth Grandma Ding and her daughter-in-law’s mouths to bleed and swell. Even their teeth felt loose.

After ten slaps, their cheeks were so red and swollen that they could not speak.

Witnessing this, the expressions of the villagers changed.

Qing Lan stated coldly, “Remember this lesson. If you think our General’s wife is far away and dare to act inappropriately, pray that our General’s wife never returns! Otherwise, hmph!”

Qing Yun added nonchalantly, “We didn’t want to teach you both such a harsh lesson, but you left us with no choice. Your mother-in-law started insulting us from the moment she opened her mouth. She went too far! It angered us, and we couldn’t restrain ourselves any longer!”

Fifth Grandma Ding’s two daughters-in-law couldn’t help but shoot resentful glances at her, further infuriating Fifth Grandma Ding.

The villagers, initially somewhat disgusted, found it hard to blame Qing Yun and Qing Lan. They believed Ju and the others had gone too far and hadn’t shown any respect. Upon hearing the explanation, the villagers couldn’t fault Qing Yun and Qing Lan’s actions.

Ultimately, who could Fifth Grandma Ding blame but herself?

She truly brought it upon herself…

No wonder!

The drama concluded, and Fifth Grandpa Ding’s family left in defeat.

Ms. Zhou sighed with relief internally. Excellent, that family would likely avoid causing any trouble in the future.

Recalling the words Qingyun’s daughter had spoken about not taking a step back from that family, Ms. Zhou couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Whether or not these words had any impact on her husband, at least the current outcome aligned with her desires.

Zhou Chong exchanged a few more words with the Land Officer. Afterwards, Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu departed, heading to the first section of the Shao Family.

Ding Xiang distributed half of the gifts to Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu and the other half to the first section of the Shao Family.

They also presented all the skins and gems they had acquired in Huning City to Ms. Fang.

Ding Xiang wasn’t the original occupant of this body, and her attachment to Ms. Zhou and Ding Erzhu was limited. She merely inhabited this body, and their connection was mainly through bloodlines. While she appreciated their efforts on her behalf, she viewed this pair of “parents” differently than real parents.

Despite Ding Xiang’s generous gifts, Ms. Fang hesitated to accept them. Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou insisted, so with a smile, Ms. Fang accepted the presents. Later, Ding Erzhu and his wife joined Ms. Fang for dinner at her home.

Zhou Chong and the others visited the Land Officer and the chief, sharing their madam’s story. As a result, they stayed with the first section of the Shao Family for the next two days.

Whenever Ms. Zhou addressed Ms. Fang as “Sister-in-law,” Zhou Chong and the others discreetly wiped their brows, recalling the times their madam referred to Madam Shao as “Sister.” Their madam had always been indifferent to minor matters. This, this, they simply chose to pretend they hadn’t heard it…
