198 One Thing Left
Eldest Uncle was very angry with Ms. Fang, so he did not eat at home. Instead, he went to the third section of the family for dinner.
Third Uncle and Ms. Ma were not very happy about his visit. Ms. Ma even made some implicit remarks but Eldest Uncle did not get it.
Ms. Ma pursed her lips, mumbling in a small voice that all he did was just offer them some help for half a day, and now he was staying for dinner! Their eldest brother was getting more and more calculative!
After many days of work, the spring plow was finally drawing to the end.
No one from the first section of the family offered help. Second Uncle as well as Third Uncle failed in their plan of letting Ms. Fang’s sons help them out.
Infact Ms. Fang got more tricky now. She asked her sons to slow down their own labor work, so they did not have any free time to offer anyone else any help.
So, after the second and third sections of the family took advantage in getting the rakes made, they would not be called reasonable if they forced Ms. Fang and her sons to help with the seedlings also.
Feeling helpless, the second and third sections of the family had to ask some people from the village for help so they could finish the spring plow.
When they were done with the spring plow, the first section was done with their work as well.
The two families got very annoyed. They felt as if they had been set up!
They knew clearly by this point that Ms. Fang was getting harder to deal with.
Spring plow had just passed. Yang Xiaoni was getting ready to be married to the family, so the first section of the Shao Family was going to be even busier for the days to come.
But there were many helpers in the family, and due to the wedding of Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan which took place just a while ago, they were fairly familiar with the arrangement of the wedding this time. Besides, Ms. Fang had plenty of money now, and she was more confident and faster in getting everything done.
The large and important stuff as well as the new room were all ready. The wedding reception had been well-arranged, so was the guest lists. The meat, the vegetables and everything else was booked. Everyone was waiting for the wedding day to come.
Those whom they needed for help were all informed…
There was just one thing that remained to be done.
Shao Sanlang was very honest and he treated Yang Xiaoni well.
When he was done with the spring plow, he told Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle that he was helping Yang Xiaoni and her family out.
Yang Xiaoni had been complaining to him all the time about what her brother and sister-in-law were like. Shao Sanlang had heard quite a lot about the couple’s behavior as well.
Spring plow and autumn harvest were top priorities throughout the year and they were the most tiring errands as well. Yang Liang and his wife were very lazy and loved to eat good food. So, if they took the excuse of the spring plow and tried to ruin the wedding, that would be troublesome!
So he just wanted to offer some help to press down the couple, so that he could get the girl home.
After the girl came to his home, he would leave the couple alone and care nothing about them any more.
Married girls would always be spilled water, and even a brother could not interfere in his sister’s in-law’s family.
Actually, Yang Liang and his wife had been very annoyed by the spring plow. Ms. Tian kept forcing Yang Xiaoni to ask the Shao Family for help, but Yang Xiaoni ignored her and did not want to do anything about it.
There was one time when she was slapped right on the face without being able to dodge it. As a result, she tripped over and skinned her arm.
When Third Grandma Yang was helping her put on the medicine, the girl, who had been so broad-minded and optimistic all this while, could not help but burst into tears.
She had not yet married, and was being forced to ask her mother-in-law’s family to help her brother with labor. What position would she have at her new home in future? How would she be able to face her mother-in-law as well as her sisters-in-law?
So, she did not listen to what Ms. Tian asked her to do, no matter what Ms. Tian said.
But it was not so easy to ignore the issue.
Third Grandma Yang promised to get involved, only because Ms. Fang had given her some gifts earlier. Moreover, she was in the right position to get involved in their family affairs as an elder.
