Chapter 472: Ms. Fang’s Determination
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Dowry? That is too much even for someone’s dowry.” Shao Meizhi did not believe that. “Ms. Qiao is a concubine’s daughter. No lineal mother would really care about a concubine’s daughter that much. I believe that they must have some way of making money. Look at the businessman’s family, the concubine’s daughter always has a worse life than maids!”
“Oh well…
Shao Meizhi believed that her conjecture was right. “Mom, you should watch them carefully. Observe what they do. I am sure they have many ways of making money!’
Ms. Ma thought for a while and nodded. “Okay, I will keep an eye on them. It won’t be so troublesome!”
They were in the same village. They would always run into each other.
The next day, Shao Meizhi and her husband left.
They had intended to just stay one night before leaving. But Shao Meizhi wanted to report Qiao Xuan’s deeds to Eldest Uncle when he was back, thus staying for one more day.
But the report failed and she felt really annoyed.
She did not even say goodbye to Eldest Uncle when she left.
Hearing that the three families were not celebrating New Year together, Second Uncle and Third Uncle were really displeased. They rushed to the first section of the family and argued about it.
Ms. Fang ignored them and refused to change anything.
Eldest Uncle wanted to have a lively dinner, but no one in the family supported him. Shao Sanlang, Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni all said no to his request, and Qi and Taotao disapproved of it too. Elder Uncle felt really distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle became totally disappointed with Eldest Uncle, who only talked nice but never did anything in reality.
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma kept blaming the first section of the family for this decision, but no family in the village would gather together with their brothers, after their parents were gone.
When the three sections of the family gathered to celebrate New Years, they were just creating a strange scene.
Hence, they could not even complain about it to the villagers. They felt so annoyed.
But it had been settled that they were not spending the New Year together, ever again.
Ms. Niu could not help but blame Ms. Ma. “It is your Meizhi who caused all of this. But for what she did to the first section of the family, they would not have made this decision!”
Ms. Ma did not accept this accusation. “Eldest Sister-in-law has disliked us for a long time. She was going to mention this to us anyway. Meizhi has nothing to do with it.”
Since Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu had finished with their visits to their parents’ homes, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan visited the Qiao Family before the Minor New Year.
They had some mediocre presents with them and got mediocre reception at the mansion.
Officer Qiao did not appear this time to receive them.
It was Madame Qiao, Qiao Wei, Concubine Du and Qiao Kou who received them.
Qiao Wei was also there watching the show.
She was really interested in meeting Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Wei even ordered Liu Yan to serve her. Qiao Xuan’s face changed as she saw Liu Yan. She lowered her head and said nothing, which made Qiao Wei feel really glad.
Qiao Kou added fuel to the fire.
“Second Sister, Liu Yan is your maid, isn’t she? Why is she not with you?”
Qiao Xuan was startled, as she staggered. “I am not sure… Elder Sister has the call!”
The Elder Sister could give whatever she wanted. She was arrogant and spoiled, without any manners.
Qiao Kou did not understand what Qiao Xuan meant. She chuckled and teased.. “You are right, Second Sister, Elder Sister has the call!”
