122 Elder Sister-in-law
Second Uncle was not so confident any more. He smiled and coaxed her. “What are you talking about, Elder Sister-in-law, we are a family!”
“We live separately!” Ms. Fang sneered. “No one in our family is like this!”
Countered by Ms. Fang, Second Uncle could not hold the pleasant expression any more.
He snapped angrily. “Elder Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We all make mistakes. Ms. Niu has learned from her mistake and she is going to correct herself in the future. We are expressing our regret through dinner tomorrow night. You can’t just ignore our sincerity!”
“True!” Third Uncle added. “Ms. Ma is apologetic about her mistake as well. She is not going to make the same mistake ever again. She likes to spread rumors, but she is not a bad person!”
“Same goes for Ms. Niu!”
“Elder Brother, just talk to Elder Sister-in-law!”
“We are a family, and we will become a laughing stock for others around us, if we are not in a harmonious relationship!”
“True, Elder Brother!”
Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle understood clearly what the Eldest Uncle wanted. They knew how to make him feel soft-hearted.
They kept installing ideas into Eldest Uncle by saying sorry and how terribly they had behaved. Eventually, Eldest Uncle sighed. “Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma spread too much gossip. You have to watch out for them so that they won’t make the same mistake again!”
“I can drop it this time, but I will tear their mouths apart, if it happens ever again!” Ms. Fang snorted. “But we are not going to have dinner with you. We are siblings, but we need to have a clear account. We have our own children and grandchildren, and we should keep the matters separated clearly. We are not taking advantage of your families, and you should never take advantage of us, either. Not ever. We are going to live separately!”
Second Uncle’s and Third Uncle’s faces changed.
“Elder Sister-in-law, you are still blaming us?”
Ms. Fang replied. “Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma hurt us so badly, why can’t I remember this matter?”
Ms. Fang did not want to ignore that, no matter what Second Uncle and Third Uncle said.
She was still being reasonable by being polite. But if she gave in any further, it would be much harder for her to defend herself in the future.
The second section of the family and third section of the family were trying to set her up!
Their behavior was so annoying, especially when it came to the rumor that she was trying to get daughter-in-law’s dowry. Ms. Fang had been a strong woman all her life. She just could not stand this accusation.
Both Shao Dalang, and Shao Yunduan were silent. They were apparently taking Ms. Fang’s side.
Eldest Uncle intended to say something, but he had no one behind his back.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle left the first section of the family with sunk faces.
“How difficult it is to pursue a narrow-minded woman like this!”
“Just drop it for now. We can talk about it in the future.”
Despite the anger, the two men did not think that Ms. Fang would stick to that attitude throughout her life.
They had a long way ahead of them.
When the two uncles left the first section of the family, everyone at home went down to their own business. They behaved normally, as if what had just happened was not so important, and as if no one cared about that.
Eldest Uncle felt weird inside his heart. He tried to talk it through, so that he could offer his brothers a chance of correcting their mistake. But he did not get that chance.
When the two uncles returned to their home, they blamed their wives for letting the rumor be heard by Ms. Fang.
“She is the type who takes revenge, got it? Now she has this issue in her hands. With this, she can do whatever she wants in the future!”
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were very annoyed as well.
They did not mean to let the rumor spread. It was just a small talk. But for some reason, it sounded really big and bad in front of others.
Ms. Fang must have done it on purpose!
Also, Widow Sun was the main culprit! But for her big mouth, nothing like this would have happened.
That bitch was definitely going to be disciplined…
