As soon as Ding Long heard, he imdiately looked at Ding Jinshi, quietly wondering, did she want him to co ho last night?
"I was just worried you might co back and disturb us while we’re asleep." Ding Jinshi explained calmly, and it was true; Ding Long would always return ho, no matter how late, so she was worried Ding Baobei would be disturbed when Ding Long had nowhere to sleep and wake her and their daughter.
Ding Jinshi’s explanation was exceedingly clear, yet excessively transparent, making Ding Long’s heart feel sowhat sour.
Indeed, they’ve been married for so many years, and they already have a daughter, when had she ever spoken a gentle word? With him, the kindest attitude she could muster was indifference; she never asked about his affairs, whether he ca ho late or early, or if he was on a business trip, she never pursued him relentlessly or showed concern like other wives.
Seeing the slight change in Ding Long’s mood, Chen Shan also noticed the shift in Ding Long’s emotions, so she imdiately changed the subject, turning the conversation to the nu, asking Ding Baobei one by one whether she wanted to eat each item.
After finishing the hotpot, Ding Long asked Zhou Chenyue to drive away Ding Jinshi’s car, and then he took Ding Jinshi and their daughter to the Ding Family instead of the old residence.
Upon entering, Ding Long was the first to speak, saying, "Tomorrow I’ll go and get the things from the old residence; we won’t go there before the Lantern Festival."
"Really? That’s great!" Ding Baobei was the first to respond to Ding Long, excited to hear that she didn’t have to go to her grandparents’ house, "I don’t like it there, grandpa and grandma always talk bad about and mom behind our backs!"
"How do you know?" Ding Jinshi was surprised, as at the old residence, her daughter had always stayed by her side, except occasionally when she had to go to the restroom or do sothing else for a short while when her daughter didn’t follow her; she truly didn’t know that Ding Baobei would overhear her father and mother badmouthing her and their daughter.
"I asked Aunt Chen Shan, Aunt Chen Shan said ’vixen’ doesn’t an ’elf’; ’vixen’ ans ’bad woman’! Grandma called mom a bad woman! When mom went to the restroom today, grandma cursed mom as a vixen towards the restroom door, and when grandma saw looking at her, she said I was a little vixen, a Su Daji!"
After Ding Baobei said this, she still looked puzzled, as she was still young and didn’t understand the aning of ’vixen,’ only that it ant ’bad woman.’ She didn’t know what ’bad woman’ represented nor what Su Daji ant.
But after hearing her daughter say all this, Ding Jinshi truly felt heartache.
Thinking about how Ding Mother cursed her bewildered and innocent daughter while she wasn’t paying attention, Ding Jinshi felt such pain, not knowing how to comfort her daughter.
"Baobei, let’s go upstairs." Ding Jinshi couldn’t hold back her anger and ended up taking it out on Ding Long, carrying their daughter past Ding Long and heading upstairs.
"Jinshi~" Ding Long also felt heartbroken for his daughter, but he didn’t expect his parents would treat Ding Jinshi and their daughter one way in front of him and another way behind their backs. If it weren’t for his daughter’s sudden words, he wouldn’t know that his mother would curse his beloved like this.
Because of this incident, Ding Jinshi was truly angered and didn’t interact much with Ding Long for several days. Her change in attitude was even felt by Ding Baobei, who asked Ding Jinshi if dad had done sothing wrong to make her angry, pleading with Ding Jinshi not to be mad at dad.
