CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 258 DESERVED IT

The watermelon was grown by Rong Yan in space.

She had only planted the watermelon seeds last night, and when she woke up this morning, she discovered that the watermelon was ripe.

It was truly... quite astonishing.

Most importantly, the taste was so much better than those sold outside!

She felt that as long as one ate regularly... perhaps one’s health could even improve a bit.

So, she planned to grow not only fruits on that plot of land,

but also some vegetables.

The Qin Family and the Rong Family got along quite happily and naturally stayed for lunch.

Plus, they had brought three watermelons.

Any more would be too much; Rong Yan only took out a few, and taking out more would give it away.

The Qin Family’s visit had made the neighbors envious, and it also confirmed that the man Rong Yan married was not some poor farmer from a remote rural area.

He was a local from Jing City, even from a reputable family compound.

They already thought Qin Ye was quite a catch... The only thing was his rural background,

but now even that single negative point was gone, which made his family background unattainable for most.

In other words... Rong Yan, who was once thought to be married off cheaply, now seemed not only to have not settled for less but in fact had married up.

Indeed, she was underestimated.

Rong Yan didn’t care about the neighborhood gossip, after all, they were going to move away soon.

And those who were invited over for a meal didn’t require her concern. Her dad didn’t call them over... he chose a few with whom they had a good relationship.

However, by four in the afternoon, when Madam Rong returned home, she was fuming.

Rong Yan happened to be in the yard, and seeing her like that, she couldn’t help but be curious, "What happened? Who made you so angry?"

"I’m so angry..." As soon as Madam Rong uttered those words, everyone in the yard stopped their work and turned their attention to her.

Rong Wenming saw that his wife was quite upset and walked over, "What’s wrong?"

Madam Rong couldn’t spit it out fast enough, "They’re spreading rumors outside... saying that if it weren’t for Rong Manman, our Yanyan wouldn’t have landed such a good match... calling our family ungrateful, and accusing us of cutting ties with Rong Wenze’s family and your mother over this..."

She had been so angry when she heard these idle talks that she almost wanted to slap those gossips.

Rong Wenming’s expression darkened instantly, and he scoffed, "So by that logic, are we supposed to thank the person who framed us?"

"Exactly, that’s what’s being spread around." Madam Rong couldn’t find the instigator or who first spread the rumors, so she couldn’t settle the score.

But she felt these words must have come from Rong Manman.

Only she would do such a thing.

That girl had always been cunning.

Thinking of this, Madam Rong still somewhat resentfully glared at Rong Wenming, "Your dear niece sure is capable, she’s like a locust that can’t be shaken off... What? Does she only cling to our Yanyan to suck blood?"

Rong Wenming, upon being glared at, felt wronged, "She is she, why are you glaring at me? Besides, haven’t we already cut ties with them? Just that... they have nothing to do with me anymore, you shouldn’t be glaring at me."

"Ha, you say they have nothing to do with us and that’s that? When your mother came looking for you, didn’t you still welcome her into our home?" Madam Rong was so vexed; it was inevitable for her to find Rong Wenming displeasing.

Anyway, whenever it concerned their daughter, she became a bit irrational.

Rong Wenming:...

What could he do? Although the relationship had been severed... it was really just with Rong Wenze’s family, and it was too much to expect him not to care at all about his own mother.

After all, his mother was getting on in years and didn’t have many left.

"... Don’t be angry, how about I go to Rong Manman’s place and tell her to stop causing trouble?"

Madam Rong scoffed, "Go to her? What, are you going to beat her up?"

Rong Wenming::...

He couldn’t do that; if he beat up a young girl, what would that look like? Even if that girl happened to be his niece.

Seeing her father at a loss for words, Rong Yan stepped in to ease the tension, "Alright, stop being angry. What’s the point in reasoning with them? If you really can’t let it go, then come with me to beat her up. My dad can’t do it, but that doesn’t mean we can’t, right? You can just watch from the outside... I’ll go hit her, teach her not to gossip. Next time, if she does it again, she’ll get hit again. How about that?"

Madam Rong couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her daughter’s words.

"... We’re not going." What could she do without any evidence?

If she had any evidence pointing to Rong Manman, she would have gone and confronted her already.

Why would she need to come home and stew in annoyance?

Rong Yan, with a smile still on her face, said, "Really not going? Actually, I really do want to slap her."

Rong Wenming immediately said, "My daughter can slap whoever she wants; after all, it’s definitely the other person’s fault."

Rong Yan:...

She was moved by her father’s words.

Her father was indeed at the top of the fatherhood spectrum.

Madam Rong didn’t want to talk to this father-daughter duo any longer and headed straight for the kitchen.

It was better for her to cook.

As she left, Rong Yan put away her joking demeanor, "Dad, I wasn’t kidding just now because I really do want to slap Rong Manman... You don’t mind, do you?

Rong Wenming: "... I mind."

Before Rong Yan could say anything, she heard her father speak again, "What if your hand gets hurt from the slap? After all, her cheek isn’t as important as your hand. Remember to use something to slap her with."

His daughter’s hands... were the most precious, capable of healing and saving lives. What if they got hurt or swollen from slapping someone? Who would they turn to then?
