Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

The Ding Family’s Hao and Ms. Qiu had rushed to apologize on behalf of Widow Sun the day before.

Also, the wall surrounding the snow fungus shed was quite high. If Widow Sun planned to steal the snow fungus, she should have brought a ladder with her, right?

What was most suspicious was that Widow Sun could have gone there alone, but instead, she brought her own daughter with her. Ding Qingqing had not even gotten married yet, so why involve her in such a risky act?

If they were found out, Ding Qingqing’s reputation and future prospects could be ruined.

Ms. Fang suddenly realized what might be going on.

Yes, something was definitely not right.

Widow Sun treated her daughter very well, and there seemed to be no reason for her to involve Ding Qingqing in stealing from the first section of the family, especially when Widow Sun did not hold high position in the village.

Ms. Fang thanked Ms. Yan for her vigilance but still couldn’t fully grasp the motive behind Widow Sun’s actions.

Then, Ms. Fang overheard Yang Xiaoni talking with her son about not having a change of heart and not taking concubines when they were rich. Suddenly, a thought struck her.

Wasn’t her eldest son in the snow fungus shed earlier?

What a coincidence!

Could it be that they were targeting her eldest son?

Ms. Fang’s suspicion grew, and she couldn’t afford to ignore it. She decided to remain vigilant and not let her guard down until she knew the truth. To investigate further, she asked Shao Dalang to collect soybeans in the field alone and secretly followed Yang Xiaoni and Ding Qingqing. Sure enough, she caught the mother and daughter red-handed again.

Ms. Fang didn’t hold back and confronted them directly at the Ding Family’s home. She demanded an explanation for their suspicious behavior and questioned why they seemed to appear wherever her son was. She was determined to get to the bottom of this matter and find out their true intentions.

The Ding Family’s Ms. Qiu and Ms. Hao understood Ms. Fang’s implied threat very well.

They kicked Widow Sun to the ground and berated her as shameless!

Widow Sun, feeling a mix of anger, embarrassment, and shame, covered her face and cried loudly. She accused Ms. Qiu and the Ding Family of selling her daughter, claiming that she was forced into this situation.

In a desperate attempt to shift the blame, she even tried to accuse Ms. Fang of setting her up, saying that Shao Dalang mistreated her daughter. However, this tactic fell flat.

If Shao Dalang needed a concubine and what he only needed to do was to spread the news that the first section of the family was very popular, and many people would come to him for concubines. Or they could just spend money to buy them, and any Heaven Immortal beauties could be bought.

They did not want Ding Qingqing to do such a thing in private.

Even if she did, Widow Sun and the Ding Family would not say that they did not like it.

No one would believe Widow Sun’s words. They would be laughed at.

Ms. Qiu remained unyielding in the face of the onlookers’ gaze. She firmly slapped Widow Sun’s complaints and continued to sneer, “You are just a concubine, and no respectable family would want you. What are you talking about? Finding a concubine for your daughter is flattering. Don’t like it? If you don’t like that, you can find your own mother-in-law’s family!”

Widow Sun felt helpless and could not find any words to defend herself. She covered her face, overwhelmed with shame and sorrow, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

As a widow and concubine, she realized she had used a humiliating method to achieve her goal, and it only made her situation worse. She knew deep down that she had little to offer in terms of status or dowries, making it incredibly challenging to find a good family willing to accept her daughter as a concubine.

Widow Sun’s heart sank with the realization that she had nothing to offer, and her desperate actions had only brought her further disgrace. The villagers who witnessed the scene couldn’t help but feel a mix of sympathy and disapproval towards Ms. Qiu’s harsh words. While they understood the struggles Widow Sun faced, they also recognized the truth in Ms. Qiu’s assertions.
