Ms. Fangs face changed.
She really came over! What was she doing here again?
Ms. Fang felt that Ding Qiuyue wasn’t up to anything good. She did not need Shao Yunduan’s reminder.
Her family and Ding Jiahuai’s family were not very close to each other. They just greeted each other briefly when they encountered each other on the way, or exchanged some words on a few occasions. So, what was Ding Qiuyue doing here at her place so often rather than keep her parents company and visit the other relatives from the Ding Family?
“l am very busy, and don’t have time to receive you. Come back next time!”
Ding Qiuyue smiled. “Ms. Fang, can you open the door? 1 won’t keep you for long. We are all friends, right? You don’t need to receive me. I just need to ask you about one thing!’
“Oh please, don’t! I am just a countryside grandma who knows nothing. I can’t tell you anything, sorry!’
“Ms. Fang, you are just being modest. We can’t just talk with a door between us, right? Can’t you just open the door. Or, are you looking down at me?”
Ms. Fang pursed her lips, saying to herself that there was no need to act sweet in front of her. She was not Old Master Zhao!
“That is not true. What is the point of looking down at you? I need to cook in the kitchen. I am busy now!”
Having said those words, Ms. Fang left the courtyard in a hurry.
She did not bother to talk with Ding Qiuyue again.
Ding Qiuyue knocked at the door. But no voice arose from behind the door.
She could not help but feel distressed. She was absent-minded for a while and had no choice but to turn around.
Hongyu felt distressed too. She said involuntarily, “Ms. Concubine, the Shao Family are so rude. She is just a countryside grandma! How can she act ?”
Ding Qiuyue glanced at her. “That is what it is like. What can we do about it?”
Hongyu felt stuck in words.
“Let’s head home first!”
Ding Qiuyue paid another visit in the afternoon, but Ms. Fang ignored her again.
Ding Qiuyue might not be smart, but she could sense that the Shao Family ignored her on purpose.
She was furious and anxious. They could not have possibly known about her plan, but then why was she not allowed to come in? Could it be because they did not want to hang out with people poorer than they were, just because they had become richer than before?
But she was allowed in last time, wasn’t she?
If she could not go into the house, she would not be able to finish the task that the Old Master gave to her. She was promised to be granted with great gifts after she accomplished the goal.
Ding Qiuyue was feeling really anxious.
The next morning, Ding Qiuyue came to the first section of the family again.
She kept calling out Ms. Fangs name, but before she could coax her with some sweet words, a young lady’s voice arose from behind the door. “Concubine
Ding, I am curious about what you are doing with my mom?”
Ding Qiuyue was startled. She forced a smile, “Please, which daughter-in-law are you? Can you open the door once? I have a few words to say and 1 will be off after that.”
“Concubine Ding, please come back in the afternoon.”
Ding Qiuyue was so annoyed.
What a strange family!
With a sunk face, she said sweetly, “Okay, 1 will come back after lunch!” Ding Qiuyue left in anger.
Behind the door, Qiao Xuan snorted.. “Back after lunch? Hope you will still have the courage to return here!”
