207 Grudge
Yang Liang and his wife became so annoyed that they slapped the door shut!
“I am so annoyed, so annoyed! The Shao Family are behaving over the top! I am definitely going to take revenge!”
Ms. Tian was so irritated that she kept crying loudly.
Some nosy villagers understood that Ms. Tian would hold a grudge over the matter. So they leaned against the door of Yang Liang’s home and listened.
Ms. Tian, who was irritated beyond measure, kept cursing.
After a while, the listeners rolled their eyes, snapped disdainfully and shared the gossip with the fellow villagers.
It was a bustling scene at the first section of the Shao Family at this moment. They were not affected by the Yang Family at all.
Ms. Fang was a very cautious, economic person. She added some money so that the wedding looked really good.
The melon seeds, peanuts and tea were constantly served. The dried fruits were a little expensive, but Ms. Fang did not want the dried fruits to stand out so she refilled the box every third hour.
Four kinds of dried fruits were bought, namely preserved apricots, candied dates, hawthorn cake, green and red fruit slices. All of them were so popular that they were eaten up the moment they were served.
Qiao Xuan followed Ms. Fang to greet relatives and friends.
Everyone knew about her identity, and many had attended her wedding. But she was a prestigious presence in front of the villagers, who could not help but glance at her again and again.
She was very friendly, and no one could find a fault in her. Instead, they found her different from many ladies in the village. They whispered to each other, saying that she was polite, friendly and behaved well, and also that she looked so pretty and had a special air around her.
In the end, they could not help but conclude that the daughter of Officer Qiao was indeed outstanding.
There was even a sense of faint jealousy. The first section of the Shao Family was really lucky and was definitely going to get richer.
Shao Yunduan was already the Cultivated Talent. Moreover, he was the son-in-law of Officer Qiao, so his future was definitely going to be promising with such a father-in-law behind his back.
The guests, who heard those words, felt sour, and emotional. They were all friends and relatives and kept giving compliments to the Shao Family on this happy day.
Only Ms. Ma felt aggrieved inside her heart.
Shao Yunduan was just lucky, that was all! Soon her son was going to be more skilled and knowledgeable than Shao Yunduan. It was just that he got sick during the examination so that Shao Yunduan took his place.
But for Shao Yunduan’s success of becoming Cultivated Talent and saving Officer Qiao’s daughter, he would not have gotten a wife like this.
If her own son became the Cultivated Talent, then Shao Yunduan would be nothing. So even if Shao Yunduan saved Qiao Xuan, Officer Qiao would not have married his daughter to him! She even imagined the scene of accepting her, for the sake of Officer Qiao, and she would have taught her to behave well!
If only such a thing had happened!
If they could get related to the Qiao Family, her son would definitely get promoted and she would be in full charge of Qiao Xuan’s generous dowry.
Moreover, she would even be invited as a guest at the County Magistrate’s home during all kinds of festivals, and maybe, would have shared a meal with her daughter-in-law’s family…
She would have gotten to know many noble families, who would always come handy as useful connections for them in the future!
