Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1754

Chapter 1754: Bewitchment Chapter 1754: Bewitchment Editor: Henyee Translations Mrs.

Lu seethed with anger, her chest turning cold, and her vision threatening to black outaEUR”she was on the verge of fainting.

The audacity of the situation felt like an outright betrayal.

Had it not been for her appeal to the patriarch’s wife for assistance, Mrs.

Lu might have unleashed a torrent of curses.

This level of manipulation was beyond acceptable.

The Lu family had meticulously prepared for the alliance, and the sudden change was utterly unjustifiable.

The patriarch’s wife’s directive to “forget it” sounded absurd.

How could they simply erase such elaborate plans?

The shame would be insurmountable, tarnishing their standing with relatives, friends, and neighbors.

Suppressing her fury, Mrs.

Lu shifted tactics to sway the patriarch’s wife.

Her reasoning was soundaEUR”marrying her daughter to Zhao Shu promised far greater benefits for the patriarch’s family.

Mrs.

Lu made a generous promise, emphasizing the potential advantages for both families.

She insinuated that when the time came, members of the patriarch’s family could actively participate in managing Zhao Shu’s assets.

It seemed like a win-win situation.

Although tempted, the patriarch’s wife hesitated.

Instead of immediate agreement, she approached Zhao Shu, subtly suggesting that he involve her two sons, brothers, and nephews in their plans.

Zhao Shu found the suggestion distasteful.

Flatly refusing, he clarified that while Uncle Qing could arrange suitable positions for them, adherence to rules was non-negotiable.

Not everyone could become a manager, let alone assume a chief managerial role right from the start.

Even if they contributed, their progress would align with the natural course of their abilitiesaEUR| While Zhao Shu wasn’t deeply involved, he adhered to the principles instilled by his mother, Madam Zheng.

This approach mirrored the rules governing the businesses under his control and those of the Zheng family in the past.

Unyielding in his commitment, he refused to compromise for anyone.

This stance deeply displeased the patriarch’s wife.

In her view, her two sons, being Zhao Shu’s cousins, deserved to be chief stewards from the start.

How could Zhao Shu audaciously delegate such responsibilities to his subordinates?

As for her brothers and nephews from her maternal family, she knew their disposition well.

Accustomed to being landowners with over 300 mu of land in the countryside, they were used to the roles of Old Masters and Young Masters.

The notion of starting from the bottom seemed preposterous to them.

They envisioned a life of prosperity and leisure, not hard work.

If Zhao Shu had the compassion, a place in his heart for his aunt, he could have let them oversee matters and assigned a deputy to handle the practicalities.

Yet, he refused outright.

The patriarch’s wife, swayed by Mrs.

Lu’s enticement and fueled by dissatisfaction, sought solace in discussions with Mrs.

Lu.

Having gathered information from various sources, she knew Zhao Shu’s resolve to marry into the Shao Family was unwavering.

Fueled by discontent and anger, she began entertaining malicious thoughts.

Her first scheme involved orchestrating a “chance encounter” between Miss Lu and Zhao Shu.

A carefully arranged meeting could create an illusion of fate, fostering love at first sight.

Assuming Miss Lu presented herself as a delicate beauty, coupled with the orchestrated encounter, there was a chance Zhao Shu might be swayed.

In an unexpected turn, Zhao Shu sprinted away at the sight of the seemingly serendipitous meeting, petals falling from the sky like discarded dreams.
