257 How Dare He
“What is this watermelon? It tastes so good!”
“Yeah, they are so generous and friendly.”
Ms. Zhou even remembered what Qiao Xuan had said. She mentioned specifically that they should not give their son too much of this fruit. So the three of them ate half and kept the rest for the evening.
Qiao Xuan also said that cut watermelon could not be eaten the next day, otherwise it would turn rotten and cause diarrhea.
Fifth Grandma Ding arrived after they ate some watermelon.
The moment she walked in, the warm air of the room turned cold. The family had a bad look on their faces, including Ding Xiaoshi.
Fifth Grandma Ding glared at them and snorted. “What are you staring at me for? Not calling me?”
Ms. Zhou’s lips moved and then she turned away. She was silent, saying nothing as she bit the lips.
Calling her?
The whole family was a pack of beasts, they were not people!
Ding Erzhu opened his mouth but uttered no sound.
He was used to being ordered around by his mother, and he subconsciously was going to address her as mother. Yet when he thought of how his family was treated, he stopped himself!
“You ungrateful people!” Fifth Grandma Ding said angrily, “I am bringing you food and you are treating me like this? You are not even calling me mother?”
Ding Erzhu sneered. “I have moved out of the family and kowtowed to you. I can’t call you mother. I can’t afford to call you mother!”
“You…” Fifth Grandma Ding shivered out of anger as she pointed at Ms. Zhou and said, “You bitch! You must have told him to do so! My son used to be an obedient person but after he married you, everything changed. You bitch must have told him to behave like this. You have caused so much trouble to my son. Are you satisfied by what you have got now? You will have to pay for your deeds!”
“I am going to pay for my deeds!” Ms. Zhou screamed. “I can bear the payment, but will you be able to bear the consequences? Are you afraid?”
“How dare you!” Fifth Grandma Ding continued to snap and started to roll up her sleeves to hit Ms. Zhou. “You bitch!”
Ding Erzhu suddenly stopped her and responded with a sunk face. “Just go home, you don’t have to take care of us. Also, we don’t need your stuff! Just take it back with you!”
Fifth Grandma Ding looked at Ding Erzhu with disbelief. Her lips were shivering but she just could not utter a sound.
Her son was always obedient and did not dare to disobey her. She never believed that him moving out of the family was a big deal.
She never thought that an obedient person like him would ever achieve anything good. He was just a stupid coward who would make no big deal after he moved out.
She thought that he would always want to return and beg her!
But it was not until this moment did she realize that she was wrong.
How dare this coward say things like this!
“I am going to see how much further you are going to last! How are you going to survive? I will wait and see!”
“Don’t blame me for not taking care of you!”
Ding Erzhu turned around and tried to hold his misery.
His mother never liked him because he knew that he was not pleasing enough. But what he had not expected was that his mother would treat him like this.
Fifth Grandma Ding sneered and was about to leave, when she saw Ding Xiaoshi bending over the short table, trying to put some melon with seeds into his mouth.
