244 Separation

Ding Xiang had never been outside the village. A 15-year-old girl like her would definitely run into danger.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan suspected that Ding Xiang had run away from the village, rather than in the mountains.

The villagers spent three days but failed to find Ding Xiang.

Three days later, they stopped the search.

It was all they could have helped with.

They all believed that Ding Xiang must have died in the deep mountains.

Either she fell into the valley and went unnoticed. Or she had been eaten up by a beast.

A young girl would not stay alive after spending three days in the deep mountains.

No one, except for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, thought that she would have escaped the village.

That was beyond their imagination.

Most of the villagers had only been to the town a few times, and some had never been to the town in their entire lives. No girl in her teens would be assumed to run away from home on such a long trip!

That was just the least they could think of.

Ms. Zhou was so sad that she shouted at Fifth Grandma Ding and Fifth Grandpa Ding that it was their fault that her daughter died.

Fifth Grandma Ding, who had been feeling a bit scared about her potential cause of her granddaughter’s death, got even more furious hearing Ms. Zhou’s blaming words.

She slapped her twice, saying that she taught her daughter badly, and that it was her fault that Ding Xiang had done something like this…

Ms. Zhou cried even harder. She wanted to live separately, or she was going to get a divorce.

Fifth Grandma Ding and her husband trembled in anger.

Fifth Grandma Ding forced Ding Erzhu to divorce Ms. Zhou, so she did not have to see Ms. Zhou any more, who would remind her of Ding Xiang and make her uncomfortable.

But Ding Erzhu did not agree.

His daughter died and his son was only three years old. Now his mother was forcing him to divorce his wife? That was like killing him directly!

Fifth Grandpa Ding was annoyed too. He agreed with them separating from the family, but not right now, otherwise his family’s reputation would be ruined!

But both Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou made up their minds to leave the home directly.

They even regretted not having agreed to live separately when their daughter said so. If they had done so on the other day, things would be different now.

In fact, deep in their heart, they wanted to live separately too, just that they did not dare to say it out loud.

Now their daughter was gone, they would definitely move out of the family for the sake of fulfilling her last wish.

Fifth Grandpa Ding snapped and said that if Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou would move out of their family, they would be removed from their household and they would have no attachment to the family.

They would just pretend that they never had a son like him!

Also,he did not need to support them when they got old!

Fifth Grandpa Ding said so decisively because he wanted to frighten Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou, in case they thought about living separately again.

He expected them to move out after three or five years, when Ding Xiang’s disappearance was forgotten about. They would just sit and talk about this peacefully at that time.

But not right now!

Fifth Grandpa Ding’s decisive words made Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou feel worse.

They had just lost their daughter due to his parents’ intimidating attitudes, but his parents did not even feel sorry. Instead, they said such hurtful things, It seemed that the elders did not seem to care about them at all!
