Chapter 323 Seeing Resentment in Each Other's Eyes

After finishing her business, Ding Surong noticed it was getting late: "Dad, I need to go home. I have to catch the afternoon bus back. Please hurry up and finish this."

Ding Yuewen nodded, took out five yuan and a few bills from her pocket: "This is all I have in my pocket, you can take it."

Seeing the look of disdain on her daughter's face, she said, "All the money is with your mother. This is all the money I have."

After speaking, he coughed lightly, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then felt relieved.

Ding Surong rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't cause those messes, my mother can treat you like that, and you still have the nerve to say that."

"Alright, alright, it's been so long."

"You know it's fine. If you don't want to hear it, I don't want to say it either. I'm leaving now."

"Please pay more attention to that matter, and if it doesn't work, expand the scope further."

"Dad, I'm not saying this is a bad idea, but I haven't been in the countryside for very long. I've already asked the village for leave several times, and the village officials are starting to have a problem with me."

"I'm your father, would I lie to you?"

"Dad, do you think someone might beat us to it?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Youwen's expression changed instantly: "It's not impossible."

Ding Surong suddenly thought of something: "Dad, do you think the person who got the item might have cut down that crooked tree?"

"Yes, that must be it. How come I didn't think of that before?"

At this point, the father and daughter exchanged a glance, and saw resentment in each other's eyes.

Ding Surong was extremely anxious. If there were other transportation options available, she probably wouldn't even want to go home. She just wanted to get back as soon as possible to confirm her suspicions.

Ding Youwen now had a sullen face. He suspected that the old woman had taken those things, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?

"Dad, if that thing is really gone, can I go back to the city sooner?"

Ding Youwen had no time to think about these things: "Let's confirm it first." He said absentmindedly, "It's getting late, you should hurry home and not miss the bus back. Remember to call me when you've confirmed it."

Ding Surong wanted to say something more, but Ding Youwen had already turned and walked towards the office, so she had to swallow back the words she was about to say.

As he was about to leave, he turned to Ding Youwen and said, "Dad, don't forget about my matter."

Ding Youwen didn't turn around, but simply raised his hand and waved to indicate that he had heard him before entering the office.

On the day of Qiu Shaocheng's wedding, Liu's mother got up early to prepare breakfast.

Seeing that there was still no movement from the Chuxue sisters' room, he approached and gently knocked on the door: "Chuxue, get up."

The crops planted in the space are ready to be harvested. Yesterday, Chuxue was busy in the space all night and went to bed a little late. She heard Liu's mother's voice: "I know."

After saying that, he turned over and went back to sleep.

When Liu's mother saw that she had responded, she went to her youngest daughter's room again: "Chunxiao, are you awake?"

"Mom, it's not even dawn yet, let me sleep a little longer."

After saying that, he pulled the blanket over his head and went back to sleep.

As soon as Mr. Liu entered the courtyard, he overheard their conversation: "It's still early, what's the rush?"

Liu's mother disagreed, saying, "The Qiu family is having a happy occasion today, so they definitely won't have time for Xia Qiu. I'm thinking we should go early so we can keep her company."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu did not object further: "Have you packed everything?"

Liu's mother nodded: "I went to the village a few days ago to exchange some peanuts, which I have already roasted. I also went to Aunt Quan's house to exchange some walnuts from last year, plus the fifteen or sixteen eggs that we had saved up at home. I'll take them all to her."

Also, I asked Chuxue to buy a piece of fabric, thinking of taking it with me so that Xiaqiu can make some clothes for her unborn child when she has some free time.
