Ms. Fang glanced at Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma, snorting. "I can tell that you never treated us well, since you have spread rumors such about us! In that case, we will not hang out so often. How shameless you are to have paid this kind of respect to us, who helped you before! Just try to save some face for yourself!"
Ms. Fang snapped at Widow Sun. "You bitch, keep your mouth shut! If I hear anything more about this matter, I will tear your mouth apart! Let's leave!"
Ms. Fang left with her sons and daughters-in-law happily and proudly.
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma glared at Widow Sun and left in embarrassment.
Widow Sun cursed out loud for a bit and then went home with her daughter.
Back at home, Ms. Fang let out a sigh of relief and said with a cold face, "Just listen carefully, don't you show a smile to the second section of the family and third section of the family anymore! They are such ungrateful people. I will never share any food with them in the future! How dare they try to take advantage of me!"
Qiao Xuan tried to console Ms. Fang, and distracted her by discussing the preparation of festivals.
Shao Yunduan tried to speak with Qiao Xuan, but then decided not to.
Qiao Xuan leaned forward and asked him with a smile. "Anything you want to say, darling?"
She was calling him darling so naturally. It sounded really nice.
"Don't be mad about what was being discussed about your dowry."
"What? I am not!" Qiao Xuan smiled. "My dowry is not valuable. Anyways, I am prosperous now. And, we will get wealthier in the future, won't we?"
Shao Yunduan smiled and nodded with the load going off his heart. "True!"
Qiao Xuan smiled. "If I am not as wealthy in the future, I will turn to you for money! You have to create some wealth too!"
Shao Yunduan could not help but feel his heart throbbing. As he saw her sparkling and black, large eyes, he nodded. "Of course, my earnings are all yours! I need to study now, I am going now."
He tried to calm himself down as he left, making Qiao Xuan chuckle. "Fight on, darling!"
Shao Yunduan almost tripped over.
In the afternoon, when Eldest Uncle returned home, he looked very happy.
He said with a smile, "I just ran into my brothers. They said that we can celebrate the festival together tomorrow. We are eating at Second Brother's home tomorrow night, all of us."
"What?" Ms. Fang was startled.
Eldest Uncle seemed to show off when he walked in, speaking loudly. Both Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan heard him, and everyone was really surprised.
Shao Sanlang responded with a sneer. "Dad, are you sure? You couldn't have heard it wrong, could you? It is such a rare event that Second Uncle invited us…"
During the past few years, the three sections of the family gathered for dinner at the first section of the family, and it had always been the first section who treated them all.
The other sections had never offered even a single grain of rice.
Sometimes they even complained about the size of the chickens, which were not enough for them.
It was so surprising that the second section of the family would offer to treat them to dinner.
"What are you talking about? You should be careful with your words, you bridegroom-to-be." Eldest Uncle glared at Shao Sanlang angrily and then said with a smile, "I told you that they are not that stingy! They are treating us to dinner!"
