Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He intended to ask Ms. Fang about this, but as he thought of how Ms. Fang might react, he hesitated. Actually, he did not dare to!
He could almost predict that no matter whether Ms. Fang knew about it or not, she would behave the same.
He decided to wait until his son and the others returned from the town.
However, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did their own business at the Zhang Village, so they did not return until the evening.
They were all talking about what to eat for dinner and decided to make dinner as they came home.
Ms. Niu and the others were all waiting for them. The moment they put down their things, Second Uncle and Ms. Niu came over.
“Did you all go sell the honey? Where is the money?”
Ms. Niu asked in such a hurry as if they should share the money with her.
She had spotted a wife for her son. She was from a good family who sold tofu. Ms. Niu was very satisfied with her but they required a lot of wedding gifts. Before Qiao Xuan answered, Ms. Fang snapped. “That has nothing to do with you.”
“Elder Sister-in-law, it is your fault. You know that we are running short of money. Why did your family not take us along to make some money too?”
Qiao Xuan blinked and said innocently, “It is because we want to make money ourselves. We are of course not going to take anyone else with us.”
Ms. Niu and Second Uncle. ‘
Eldest Uncle frowned. “You… Ms. Qiao…”
Ms. Fang immediately said, “Okay, Ms. Qiao, Duan, you are both tired, just go back to your room and don’t worry about anything that is unrelated to you.” They nodded when they heard her speak.
Ms. Fang looked at the second section of the family and said coldly, “Do you not understand what I have been saying all this while? Nevermind, I can repeat it a few times. You are not getting any money from us, nor can you get a loan from us! You can come and steal the money, but if you are caught, I will report you all to the governmental office. Don’t you ever forget who my daughter-in-law’s father is.”
Second Uncle shivered in anger. “Eldest Brother, why don’t you say something? Eldest Sister-in-law, are you cutting us off?”
Ms. Fang said calmly, “If you want to do that, I am willing as well.”
Ms. Niu responded angrily. “Eldest Sister-in-law, you are cutting us off!”
Ms. Fang answered. “Oh, I am done with what I need to say, you can continue to talk. I am off.’
Ms. Fang turned around and left.
Eldest Uncle called her but she pretended not to hear.
Second Uncle got so furious as he snapped at Eldest Uncle. “Eldest Brother, you are the master of the family! What did our parents say when they passed away? You are living a good life now, but you are throwing us away? We can leave the rest alone, but Silang needs to get married. The Yan Family said that we need to give 20 liang as wedding gifts, or the marriage will not work! Are you so cruel as not to care about this?”
“You offered 20 liang to the Yang Family. The Yan Family is definitely better than them, right? We need to hold our reputation high and not let Silang get humiliated…”
Eldest Uncle felt so annoyed. “Don’t worry, Second Brother, I will talk with your
Elder Sister-in-law about this. We must help Silang!”
Only then did Second Uncle and Ms. Niu drop the topic. But they continued to spill out their bitterness and misery, forcing Eldest Uncle to offer them the money.
If the first section of the family gave out the money, that would be great.
The moment they left, Eldest Uncle turned to find Ms. Fang..
