Fifth Grandpa Ding cleared his throat, casting a glance at Zhou Chong and the others. Assuming an air of dignity, he inquired, "Where's Ding Xiang? Where is she now? Why hasn't she returned home after such a long time? Doesn't she realize her family would worry about her? How absurd!"
Fifth Grandma Ding thought of her second son and daughter-in-law, who had turned unfilial because of Ding Xiang, and a surge of resentment flooded her heart. Sneering, she added spitefully, "Exactly! This unfilial girl, she—"
"Alright, alright!" Fifth Grandpa Ding interjected, speaking vaguely, "Let's not dwell on the past. Isn't the child more sensible now and knows how to be filial? When she returns, we can have a cordial conversation and admit our mistakes. You're not allowed to speak ill of her."
Fifth Grandma Ding snorted, but she had resolved to torment Ding Xiang and teach her a lesson. She intended to control her and make her listen.
