On this very day, the second section of the family was present.
They had wanted to borrow the donkey cart from the first section of the family, but Ms. Yan vetoed that down. She said that there should be no one who would take care of it, and the first section of the family would need it too.
Ms. Niu and Second Uncle were in a good mood, and did not disagree with Ms. Yan. They did not want to argue with her at the moment. So, she did not say anything any more.
Ms. Zhang sneered. "You are so nice to the first section of the family!'
Ms. Yan felt disgusted and immediately countered. "They are our Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle, and they have helped us so much in the past. Is it so wrong that I am nice to them? Also, I just don't want to bother them again. Is that being nice to them? That sounds so embarrassing!'
Ms. Zhang got so angry that she turned around sullenly.
The Yan Family accepted Qiao Xuan's suggestion and finally built the workshop on the flat, barren field which was spread across 20 mu.
They hired people to dig and fill up the land and it was very smooth, occupying five or six mu of the total land.
When the business picked up, and money was sufficient, they could expand the occupied land.
The ceremony was being held at the workshop and the tools were locked in the room, completely isolated from the others.
For the occasion, sweets such as candy and peanuts were distributed, and gifts from everyone were accepted as congratulations and greetings. The guests were invited to sit at home for a meal.
The Yan Family had a good reputation and many people were present. Eight tables were laid, and the second section of the family took up half of the table. The cook from the village was hired to make the dishes.
Second Uncle and Ms. Niu met Shao Yunduan too. They were both very proud.
They showed off in front of Shao Yunduan as if they were the owner of the workshop.
Shao Yunduan ignored thor behavior and simply agreed to whatever they said.
He did not want to cause any trouble. He had some shares in the workshop as well. What was the point of arguing with them?
So, Ms. Niu and Second Uncle became even prouder, as if the whole family had flown away already.
More importantly, Ms. Niu even asked Shao Yunduan how much money he gave as a gift.
"You are our nephew and a learned scholar. You are rich, so you need to give them a big amount, right?"
Shao Yunduan nodded. "Yeah.'
Ms. Niu looked interested. "How much?"
Shao Yunduan answered. "My mom gave the gift. I have no idea."
Ms. Fang was stingy and she could not have given much.
In fact, Shao Yunduan gave them 2 liang as a gift, which was very high.
At the lunch, Old Master invited Second Uncle, Shao Yunduan and Shao Silang to the main table and asked his two sons, wife and daughter-in-laws to receive other guests.
Ms. Zhang saw that Shao Erlang was not at the main table, and felt really annoyed. Why was Shao Yunduan at the table, but not her husband?
So, when Mrs. Yan came to greet Ms. Niu, Ms. Zhang said half-jokingly, "Mrs. Yan, why is my husband not on the main table like his brothers? Wulang is from my Eldest Uncle's family, he should not be sitting there, right?"
Only then did Ms. Niu notice this detail..
