Upon their return to Huning City, Zhou Chong and the others recounted the events in Shaoding Village to Ding Xiang. She smiled joyfully and expressed regret, "What a pity. It would have been even more interesting if I had seen it with my own eyes!"
Learning of Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou's well-being and their unwavering support, Ding Xiang contemplated when she would go back. This realization meant that, in the couple's hearts, their daughter held greater importance than the scornful family they left behind.
Anticipating the likely tantrum from her original host's grandparents after receiving the numerous gifts, Ding Xiang envisioned her father compromising. Once he acquiesced, these gifts would symbolize the final fulfillment of her filial piety. Henceforth, she planned to sever all ties and never look back, harboring no interest in encountering them again.
