Regarding the first section of the family, they were grateful to Ms. Yan for providing them with advanced knowledge about various matters.
Ms. Yan informed Ms. Fang and Qiao Xuan about Shao Erlang’s upcoming marriage.
This was the first time Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni had heard about it, so they were eager to learn more.
Yang Xiaoni couldn’t help but complain, “Finally, Second Uncle’s marriage has been settled. Auntie Niu keeps talking about finding good and outstanding girls from other families. Why do the girls always get chosen?”
Ms. Xu silently agreed with a smile.
In the past, she had been somewhat tempted to introduce girls from her own family to Shao Erlang. After all, the second section of the family was now living a comfortable life. However, her timid nature held her back, and she never voiced her thoughts.
Ms. Yan smiled helplessly and sighed.
She was well aware of the kind of person Mother-in-law was, but she couldn’t openly voice her complaints.
Upon hearing that Shao Erlang’s prospective wife was a widow, Yang Xiaoni was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped. Learning that she was Ms. Yanan’s cousin, Yang Xiaoni smiled again. “That’s good, that’s good! Since she’s an acquaintance, she’ll be able to get along well with you in the future!”
Ms. Fang chimed in with a smile, “Exactly! I believe this marriage is the best choice!”
If Shao Erlang had married a young girl, she would have been at the mercy of Ms. Niu’s bullying.
But widows were different. They had experienced the ups and downs of life. With Ms. Yan’s support, it would be difficult for Ms. Niu to show off.
The second section of the family kept Ms. Niu under control to ensure peace within the household.
Observing their conversation, Ms. Xu couldn’t help but interject, “Well… Auntie Niu wasn’t satisfied with many people, and she insisted on finding a good daughter-in-law for Second Brother Shao. Why… why did she agree in the end…”
Ms. Yan smiled and replied, “It’s fate! My cousin and my second brother met once and fell in love. Even my father-in-law liked her when my second brother expressed his desire to marry her. Mother-in-law initially refused, but she eventually gave in.”
That was indeed true. Ms. Xu decided to let go of her concerns and allowed Ms. Yan to handle everything as she pleased.
In Ms. Xu’s perspective, what did it matter if the prospective bride was a widow? Was she truly worth her worries and labor?
Not fully understanding the meaning behind Ms. Yan’s words, Ms. Xu simply nodded with a smile. “I understand!”
As she counted the days, she realized that the wedding date was drawing near, with less than half a month remaining.
Ms. Niu had already distanced herself from the preparations. Since Ms. Yan had no prior experience with such matters, she felt a bit anxious and turned to Ms. Fang for assistance. She asked Ms. Fang to guide her and help her understand anything she found confusing.
After a moment of contemplation, Ms. Fang agreed and advised, “Just keep it hidden from your Mother-in-law and ensure she remains unaware.”
She had no desire to provoke her further.
Ms. Yan readily agreed.
It was only much later that Ms. Niu discovered the extent of her daughter-in-law’s assistance during Ms. Fang’s wedding, which infuriated her to the point of falling ill.
Ms. Fang was even more concerned about Taotao’s family.
That night, as she talked with Qiao Xuan about Shao Yunduan, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Ms. Fang was at a loss about what to do regarding Taotao’s family!
Now that her daughter had grown so capable, she appeared more intelligent and resourceful. Seeing her like this, Ms. Fang couldn’t bear the thought of pairing her with a simple-minded country bumpkin who knew nothing. She felt that she would have treated Taotao unfairly.
