Ms. Fang agreed and added. "Me and your father should listen to that as well! We have to be cautious and protect ourselves, in case they ruin our family and
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni felt slightly better and smiled, nodding.
Qiao Xuan added. "One more thing. If someone sets up our husbands and claims that she is pregnant, then…"
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni's smiles stiffened.
Ms. Fang was startled as well.
Qiao Xuan did not mention this on purpose, but that is something that could not be ignored. She needed to mention this after all.
That was a way for women in ancient times to cause trouble.
Even in the modern time, there were many parents who cared about children.
What if someone made it with a man in the Shao Family, and came to the door with tears in their eyes, what should they do about it?
Who would be so hard-hearted as to drive her away?
Even though men might turn her down, yet women of the family might not be able to do so, otherwise the women would be considered vicious, jealous and not at all understanding, so that their children would not be able to find any marital suitors.
Also, in-laws would not tolerate grandchildren to be out on the street like orphans.
Shao Sanlang turned to Yang Xiaoni with sincerity in his eyes. "Darling, I assure you that I will be extremely cautious and vigilant. I will do everything in my power to ensure that I am not set up. You have to trust me."
Yang Xiaoni said, "Of course, I trust you. But what if you find yourself in a situation where someone tries to manipulate or deceive you?"
"I won't… I definitely won't!"
Qiao Xuan found the dynamic between her family members interesting yet slightly irritating. She couldn't help but cast a glance at Shao Yunduan, who had been quietly listening to their discussion without feeling the need to be warned.
Shao Yunduan confidently interjected, "I won't be set up." He exuded a strong sense of self-assurance in this regard.
As Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang continued their argument, the atmosphere grew tense, leaving Ms. Xu feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to say.
Ms. Fang, growing frustrated with the ongoing dispute, firmly interjected, "Enough, both of you! Just stop arguing. If such a situation were to occur, we will ensure the safety and well-being of our children while providing the woman with a suitable settlement. Regardless, we must never allow individuals with ill intentions and a tarnished reputation to enter our home!"
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni felt slightly relieved.
"You are right, mom. We do as you say!'
"Yeah, mom is right!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed with her mother, "Mom, you have come up with a good solution. That indeed is the best way to handle such a situation. If it were to occur, the woman should not even be allowed to stay pregnant within our home. We will arrange for a separate small house and have guards to monitor her. Once the child is born, we will take custody of the child, while providing the woman with the agreed-upon financial support. By making it clear to others that we refuse to fall for such tricks, people will think twice before attempting to scheme against us again!"
"Yeah, that is totally right!'
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni were even more delighted hearing that.
Nis. Fang nodded too.
Qiao Xuan continued, "In reality, we are discussing these matters as a precautionary measure. If we are vigilant and cautious enough, it is unlikely that such situations will arise. So, Elder Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law, there is no need to be overly anxious."
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni felt relieved by Qiao Xuan's reassurance, They expressed their gratitude to her with appreciative smiles and nods.
Being proactive and discussing these potential scenarios before they actually occurred was crucial. They were thankful that their Fifth Sister-in-law had brought up these concerns and shared her insights.
