The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3162 - 3163: Handled Early in the Morning

"Father, how is everything at home? What about my two brothers?" Ding Rong asked.

Upon hearing her words, Ding Zhuzui’s expression froze.

Originally, he didn’t want to talk about this with Ding Rong and Ding Xu right now, as it was not an honorable matter.

Moreover, this issue is related to Concubine Qiongying, and he was worried that mentioning it would make Ding Xu uncomfortable, making him even less willing to return home.

"Well... they are in seclusion, training, and I’m not sure when they will come out," he replied.

"Oh."

Ding Rong responded and exchanged a glance with Ding Xu.

However, Ding Xu remained silent, although he wasn’t home, it’s impossible for him not to know what had happened there.

He was quite clear about what his aunt had done.

Since she was his aunt, he refrained from commenting, as his grandmother and father naturally had their way of dealing with it, and it wasn’t his place to interfere.

"And what about the two brothers’ mother?" he asked.

In his view, it was unlikely for the Ding Family to keep such a woman.

"She..."

Mentioning the mother of Ding Ru and Ding Jun made Ding Zhuzui’s face look worse.

"She insists on not joining the Ding Family, so your grandmother bought a house in the city for her to live in, and sent a few maids to attend to her. She’s doing quite well now."

Upon hearing this, Ding Rong raised her eyebrows.

She was aware that this would be the eventual result, but that woman was different from her mother and Concubine Qiongying after all.

If it had been her mother, probably... things wouldn’t have been so simple.

"It’s good that she’s being taken care of. After all, she is the mother of my two brothers, she must be attended to properly," she said.

"Yes, yes."

Ding Zhuzui repeatedly echoed.

Honestly, he really didn’t want to bring up the messy affairs from the past in front of his children.

After all, he was the head of the Ding Family, didn’t he deserve some dignity?

"Let’s not talk about these things, let’s talk about something else, talk about something else," he smiled, trying to change the subject.

"Okay, let’s talk about something else," Ding Rong nodded.

"Father, have you handled the mine in World City?" Ding Xu asked directly without hesitation.

Ding Zhuzui: "!!!"

He did want to talk about something else, but he didn’t mean he wanted to discuss the mine in World City!

It was only later he learned that the mine was actually owned by Lin Baizhong’s wife. For that mine, his face was scandalously lost all across World City!

"That mine was dealt with a long time ago."

Taking a deep breath, he replied helplessly.

Was there any choice but to deal with it? Were Lin Baizhong and his wife easy people to negotiate with?

And because of that mine, even the City Lord’s wife wasn’t siding with the Ding Family, what else could he do?

Although he really wanted to obtain that mine, he wasn’t foolish enough to offend Lin Baizhong and additionally offend the City Lord’s Mansion for it, of course he wouldn’t do such a thing.

"Before, I didn’t know, now that I do, it’s fortunate the people under me haven’t acted on that mine," he said softly.

In reality, it wasn’t that there was no action taken, rather, actions had been taken for years, yet nothing worthwhile was found, the expression to be left with nothing applies precisely to him!

Money was spent, yet the mine purchased still belonged to someone else.

Isn’t he having a hard time!
