Chapter 19: Unreasonable And Wrong Ideas
At first, they all assumed that it was the end of this errand. However, when the two families from the second and third sections of the family came around for the dinner, the issue was mentioned once again. freeweb novel.co m
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma kept complaining in front of their eldest uncle, not only about Shao Taotao, but also Qiao Xuan.
They kept insisting that Shao Taotao did not show any sisterly love to the cousins and that Qiao Xuan was looking down upon them. free(w)ebnov(e)l
Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi seemed really saddened, sitting next to them.
Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu were busy at the kitchen, where Shao Taotao was giving them a hand. It was only Shao Yunduan, as well as other junior members of the family, who listened to the narrative with a frown and could not interrupt them.
Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle were also helping their own family members in a seemingly concerned and kind way.
The eldest uncle became so guilty that he kept apologizing and started speaking nice words, whilst throwing a look at Qiao Xuan and suggesting that she should apologize too.
After all, Qiao Xuan was his daughter-in-law, and a father-in-law was not in a good position to blame his daughter-in-law directly. Moreover, Qiao Xuan was a newly-wedded daughter-in-law, and he had no choice but to show her some respect.
Qiao Xuan understood her father-in-law's hints, but she ignored them deliberately.
She truly felt that these people were so morally sick!
It was so tiring that her father-in-law could do nothing about it!
Eldest Uncle became disappointed inwardly and he kept sighing.
He was blaming his daughter-in-law inside his heart. Even if she did not understand his hint, she should have heard the complaints!
She had looked down upon her sister-in-law and countered the senior members of the family. She should naturally feel ashamed enough to make apologies!
What was she thinking?
Second Uncle said, "Brother, you should teach your children a lesson. They can't be so unreasonable, right? We are a family!"
The sixth son of the Shao Family could not help but laugh, after holding his words for a while.
"Elder Uncle, you should ask Fifth Brother if there is any need to become a scholar, when he can't even teach his wife a good lesson? Saint says that a qualified scholar should be able to rule the family and keep peace in the world, right?"
The sixth son could not help but glance at Qiao Xuan, getting really annoyed inside his heart.
Why had it not been him who had saved this girl?
Had he married the daughter of the County Magistrate, he would have been assured of a promising future! Damn, his fifth brother kept getting good things happening to him and never thought about sharing the fortune with his brother. If his fifth brother had asked him to keep him company the other day, he might have become the candidate for this girl's husband!
His brother married the daughter of the County Magistrate. What kind of girl should he marry so that he could override him in the future?
Eldest Uncle did not understand what the Sixth Son was implying, but he showed a look of admiration towards this boy. Suddenly, he felt that he could give his son a lesson, even if he could not do anything to his daughter-in-law!
Eldest Uncle turned to Shao Yunduan and said in a displeased voice, "Your sixth brother is right! Yunduan, we should keep peace in our family. Isn't it good that we live in harmony? Tell your wife to say sorry to Second and Third Sister-in-law! We are all family members, and it is fair if every girl in the family gets the same thing, including Juan!"
Juan was only five years old, the daughter of the second section of the family.
Qiao Xuan turned to look at Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan nodded at his father and gave a consoling look at Qiao Xuan, asking gently. "Ms. Qiao, can you recount what happened?"
Qiao Xuan felt that she had been repeating the same thing all the time. But she had no choice but to say the whole thing again.
"Mom and Taotao were both present. You should hear their words, regarding whether I was disrespecting the Second and Third Sister-in-law. I am not bold enough to take over the entire blame!"
"Mom also pointed out that when Elder Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law first got married to the family, they did not seem to give anyone any presents. So why are you treating me differently? Are you looking down at me, or bullying me or trying to cause trouble to me in particular?"
