Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Second Sister-in-law And Dowries

“…” The two families almost choked in anger!

Shao Yunduan’s reaction almost burst out. He turned around and pretended to cough so as to hold the laughter in. This wife of his seemed like a lot of fun.

Eldest Uncle’s eyes widened as he said, “But we are all from the Shao Family, we share the same ancestors…”

Ms. Fang found that Ms. Qiao’s words were too good. She snorted. “You are not talking senses. Half of the people in the village have Shao as their family name and we all share the same ancestor. Should we check with every family? Ms. Qiao, you are right, we are in different families, and we are all healthy beings, why must someone be so greedy? We have never gotten anything from your families!”

Ms. Niu said, “Honestly, Sister-in-law, we are not that competent, and we always remember the favor you have done for us! When we become capable in the future, we will be of some help to you too! We are all one family, don’t get so estranged! It is so hurtful! Ms. Qiao can say whatever she wants, but we wonder if it is true about what she says, or just that she doesn’t want to share her things with Meiling and Xiaozhi? We are all sisters. What she has done hurts us!”

Eldest Uncle sighed, and threw a guilty look at Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi.

He felt the same way, as he complained that Qiao Xuan was too stingy as the sister-in-law!

Qiao Xuan showed a helpless look. “I am telling the truth. There is nothing I can do, even if you don’t believe me!”

Ms. Niu became even angrier!

She was not convinced inside her heart!

She should have asked them to check her dowries!

If Qiao Xuan had said these words, Ms. Niu would definitely ask Ms. Ma to dig out everything from Qiao Xuan’s boxes!

Moreover, she also wanted to see what those 26 sets of dowries from the County Magistrate’s family were like!

Qiao Xuan did not follow her lead, but Ms. Niu could not hold the itch, and said, “You have to show us!”

Qiao Xuan turned to her and showed a strange smile. “You want to check my dowries?”

Ms. Fang became furious. “Ms. Niu, what do you mean? Even I, the mother-in-law, have not seen any of her dowries, what do you think you are doing?”

Dowries were private things. No families who had even a little shame in them would do things like this.

Ms. Niu pursed her lips. “Don’t get me wrong. I just want Ms. Qiao to prove what she said was real.”

Ms. Fang sneered. “I don’t care if you don’t believe her. There is no need to prove anything. As long as I believe my daughter-in-law, it will do!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “That is fine for me, but I just remember that you haven’t given me any gifts either! What about giving presents to me and letting me see your dowries too?”

“You…” Ms. Ma got annoyed. “What gifts? We don’t have such rules in the Shao Family!”

Ms. Fang rolled her eyes. “Then, shut your mouth!”

Ms. Niu was about to add something, when Ms. Fang said, “So, you don’t want to have any dinner tonight, right? Are we done or not?”

Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma exchanged glances with their husbands and pressed down their anger. They knew that they could do nothing today, so they stopped making the fuss.

Eldest Uncle had already become very worried, exhausted and embarra.s.sed.

He waved at Ms. Fang and said, “Alright, alright, stop talking and go make dinner! It is getting late…”
