He was going to tell his mother not to give them too much pressure in pushing them to give birth to a baby.
Ms. Fang almost laughed.
She poked him straight on the forehead. "I don't intend to put you under any pressure, okay? You have only been married for a few months! Also, Ms. Yang did not have a good time back at her own home, and it is not that good to get pregnant now. You should make sure she lives well and becomes healthier, so she can be pregnant then!"
"Oh, true!" Shao Sanlang's eyes brightened, as he smiled. "I never thought about this before. Mom, you are so considerate!"
Ms. Fang glared at him. "Now you understand? Then, get lost from here. So irritating that my brainless son is wandering in front of me! "
Shao Sanlang did not care when he was scolded. He chuckled and went to tell his wife this good news.
Ms. Fang thought for a while. She was worried that Ms. Qiao would be worried about this issue too, when she saw Ms. Xu getting pregnant.
So, Ms. Fang automatically consoled Qiao Xuan, telling her not to get worried about getting pregnant now especially since Shao Yunduan was in the middle of preparing for the imperial examination. She kept insisting that they should not have a child so soon, and they could wait for a couple of more years, and such.
Qiao Xuan flushed after hearing that. She nodded with a small chuckle.
She felt a bit moved, but embarrassed too. Actually, she never thought about pregnancy just because her Elder Sister-in-law got pregnant again.
She had not even slept with Shao Yunduan at this point. Nor had she thought about getting pregnant. As a result, she never related Ms. Xu's pregnancy to hers.
But when her mother-in-law mentioned it, she was reminded that she might need to get pregnant and become a mother someday, since she was Shao Yunduan's wife, after all.
Luckily, her mother-in-law was open-minded, and she could leave this matter to the future.
On the tenth day of the New Year, Master Yun and his servants left the first section of the family and returned home.
Shao Yunduan and Ms. Fang could not make them stay longer. So, they had to give it up.
Shao Yunduan accompanied them personally, and sent abundant local things to them.
Master Yun liked their smoked sausage and meat, salted eggs and preserved eggs, dried bamboo and mushrooms, etc. So he accepted them all, without turning down the offer.
On the 12th day of the New Year, Shao Silang from the second section of the family was getting married.
Ms. Niu and Second Uncle had a good idea. They wanted Qi to hunt a wild boar so that the banquet would look good, and also, they would not have to buy any meat themselves.
They were telling Qi to hunt wild boars so their son's wedding could look good? Wild boars were very dangerous animals and they could not be hunted just on someone's whim and fancy!
Ms. Fang turned them down, which displeased Second Uncle and Ms. Niu.
When the wedding day came, Ms. Fang took Yang Xiaoni and Taotao to offer help, whilst Shao Sanlang and Shao Yunduan as well as Qi all went to greet the bride.
Ms. Xu was pregnant so she did not go to help. She would just visit when the bride arrived. She should stay at home in case she bumped into something.
Ms. Fang did not want Qiao Xuan to go there either. She asked her to stay at home to look after Ms. Xu and not do any labor work.
Ms. Niu had wanted Qiao Xuan to offer help, because she was County Magistrate's daughter, which would lift up their family's reputation.
But there was nothing she could do, when Ms. Fang refused to bring her along.
Ms. Zhang sneered. "Elder Sister-in-law is pregnant with the third child and she is getting more precious than before.. She needs to be taken care of specially by someone at home?"
