“Ms. Fang, he is really treating us to dinner, and he also said that we can just go there without bringing anything over. They are so kind! Don’t say anything bad about them any more, okay?”
Eldest Uncle was so emotional when he spoke.
This was exactly what he had been looking forward to. The whole family was in harmony and no one was taking advantage of each other.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look and understood why the second section of the family was suddenly asking them to eat dinner together.
Qiao Xuan pursed her lips and whispered. “I am not going, it is really dangerous.”
Shao Yunduan said, “Don’t worry, Mom won’t…”
Before Shao Yunduan finished his words, Ms. Fang snorted and said harshly, “You can go there if you want to. Ask your children if they want to? I am not going though, I don’t want to die there!”
“What are you talking about?” Eldest Uncle was surprised. He was so disappointed and felt as if cold water had been poured over his head.
He shared this good news as soon as he walked in. He was in a hurry to highlight that his brothers were actually nice. He had not expected that Ms. Fang would react .
“You must go! You said that they were stingy, but now you don’t want to go when they are inviting us to dinner. You are such a piece of work!”
Eldest Uncle was really displeased.
“Dad, you don’t know what happened today? I guess that is why Second Uncle wants to treat us to dinner. We better not go there,” said Shao Yunduan.
Eldest Uncle was surprised. “What happened?”
Ms. Fang sneered and narrated the whole story.
She had intended to tell Eldest Uncle about what happened today, irrespective of whether there was any invitation for dinner.
She had gone through the story numerous times in her heart, so she finished the tale smoothly and fast.
He was totally dumbfounded.
He felt that the head was buzzing…
Before he was able to think about it, he spilled out. “That can’t be possible! Is there a misunderstanding?”
“A misunderstanding?” Ms. Fang’s voice arose as she said angrily, “The whole village heard them, and they admitted it in front of the whole village! Now you are saying that it is a misunderstanding? In your eyes, everyone else is nice but me, right? I am a bad woman, am I?”
“No, no that is not what I mean! It is just…”
Eldest Uncle could not utter a word.
He felt so messed up in his heart.
“How could that be possible?”
How could they do something so hurtful!
Ms. Fang answered coldly. “From today onwards, I am not going to get involved with them. Moreover, they are never going to get anything from me. I would rather throw everything in the water than share it with them!”
Eldest Uncle opened his mouth but said nothing.
But later in the evening, Second Uncle and Third Uncle came over, reminding them about the dinner.
Eldest Uncle was at a loss. He had no idea how to turn them down. He had never refused them before either. He was about to agree subconsciously…
But… Ms. Fang turned them down directly.
“We have food at home. We will not be going over to your place. I can’t afford to eat at your house ever.”
