When Grandma Du heard this, she immediately stopped talking about not hiring an ox cart. However, she still cursed, “Usually, when we come, they always let us eat lunch before going back. They would even hire us an ox cart and let us take it back. Now, they’re kicking us out and treating us like we’re the bad guys!

Grandpa Du said bluntly, “Why are there so many people in Daxi’s family? Time really shows a person’s heart!”

Du Shanqiang couldn’t stand it anymore and tuned them out. He went to Willow Village to see if there was an ox cart. When he saw that there was one, the man asked for 30 coins. Du Shanqiang couldn’t bear it, so he went to other villages to ask, but he was too embarrassed to go back to Locust Village to ask. However, the ox carts from other villages had been sent to other villages and were not at home. Du Shanqiang could only bite the bullet and go to Willow Village again. He spent 30 coins and asked the man to hitch an ox cart to send him and his parents back.

When Grandma Du and Grandpa Du heard that they had spent thirty coins, they cursed in pain, “Why is it so expensive!”

“Father, Mother, keep your voices down. If you scold them until they refuse to send you off, you’ll really have to walk back. There was only one ox cart available left.” Du Shanqiang said.

Grandma Du and Grandpa Du could only curse in their hearts.

By the time the ox-cart arrived at their village entrance, it was already past noon. When they got off the ox-cart, the hungry and angry Grandma Du and Grandpa Du began to curse again. They also scolded the owner of the ox, saying that they were ripped off!

However, the owner of the ox cart had already received the money and completely ignored them. He just drove the ox cart away with the money in tow.

Grandma Du and Grandpa Du were furious.

After cursing a few more times, Grandma Du calmed down a little and asked Grandpa Du, “What are we going to do when we get back? Even Xue Da thinks that Daxi is dead, so who else would care about Daxi’s family?”

Grandpa Du said, “They must be challenging us. They won’t really just let her be. Let’s wait a little longer. Sooner or later, Shanqiang will be able to work in the shop to earn money again.”

“I won’t embarrass myself anymore!” Du Shanqiang only left a sentence and went home first.

“Are you a coward? What are you good for?” Grandpa Du and Grandma Du chased after him and cursed.

At home, Xue Daxi, Du Hongguo, and He Erniu had already eaten lunch. At this moment, Xue Daxi was in the courtyard, washing Du Hongguo’s hair with warm water.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they showered.

He Erniu sat at the threshold and did needlework. She deliberately began to make children’s clothes, shoes, and socks now, wanting to anger Xue Daxi.

However, Xue Daxi had never given up or caved in.

This made He Erniu very angry.

Seeing Du Shanqiang come back, He Erniu put down the needle and thread in her hand and came up with a virtuous look. “Shanqiang, why are you back at this time? Have you eaten? Where are your parents? Why don’t I see them?” Unexpectedly, Grandma Du and Grandpa Du walked in immediately after. Grandma Du said angrily, “Are you blind? Aren’t we right here?”

Then, she saw Xue Daxi happily washing Du Hongguo’s hair. Du Hongguo was also happily washing her hair. Grandma Du was already filled with anger. Now, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She walked over and directly overturned the basin of warm water under Du Hongguo’s head.

“You must be in a good mood!” Grandma Du cursed. “Are you going to let us suffer when you’re done?”

Du Hongguo immediately cried in fear. She didn’t care if her hair was still wet or not as she hugged her mother tightly..
