Chapter 1770: Zhao Shu Is Here Chapter 1770: Zhao Shu Is Here Editor: Henyee Translations However, the realization that they had missed out on a promising son-in-law like Zhao Shu and the significant financial loss incurred left them feeling that a mere thousand taels of silver was akin to tossing a coin to a beggar.

Shao Xiaozhi hurriedly sought out Zhao Shu for clarification on the recent events.

Upon hearing Shao Liulang’s account, she was momentarily stunned.

Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma were incensed.

Their conviction that the first branch of the family had acted deceitfully and capitalized on an opportunity grew stronger.

It was evident to them that the first branch must have been aware of the misunderstanding long before but chose to withhold the information, clandestinely orchestrating the union of Young Master Zhao and Taotao.

Had they been informed earlier about Young Master Zhao’s misunderstanding, they would have undoubtedly contested it.

With the basis for rejection eliminated, there was a high likelihood that Young Master Zhao would have consented.

The more Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma deliberated, the more indignant they became.

They were on the verge of storming over to the first branch of the family to confront them.

Before they could act on their anger, Zhao Shu arrived the following day.

Since their engagement bound them as family, Zhao Shu’s outreach to his fiancA(c)e’s family was met with tacit acceptance.

Zhao Shu was elated yet apprehensive.

He specifically requested Aunt Qing’s assistance in selecting attire and accessories, meticulously preparing himself before setting out with a plethora of gifts.

This time, he could bestow gifts without reservationaEUR”a potent tool to win favor.

As expected, the arrival of Young Master Zhao in the village elicited jubilation from its residents.

Even the children were ecstatic, surrounding the carriage as it entered the village, chanting joyfully, “Young Master Zhao is here!

Young Master Zhao has arrived!” Zhao Shu was well-prepared for the occasion.

He jovially interacted with the children, instructing Tongshun to fetch a large basket brimming with an assortment of treatsaEUR”melon seeds, peanuts, sesame nougat, sweet osmanthus, sugar, dragon whiskers, mung bean cakes, pastries, and more.

He distributed them to the eager children, who gleefully clamored for the snacks.

“Easy now, there’s plenty for everyone!” Zhao Shu chuckled, urging them to visit the first branch of the family.

“We’ve got it all!” Upon arriving at the first branch of the family for the first time since the engagement, Zhao Shu adopted a more solemn demeanor.

Upon seeing Ms.

Fang and Eldest Uncle, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of nervousness.

Nonetheless, he bowed respectfully.

Ms.

Fang, however, greeted him warmly, insisting there was no need for such formality.

Ms.

Fang was exceedingly pleased with him, and now that he was her son-in-law, her satisfaction only deepened.

She found him exemplary in every aspect and harbored no desire to make things difficult for him.

Learning of his family’s misfortune and his mother’s premature passing only heightened her sympathy towards him.

She ushered him inside, assigning Shao Dalang and Shao Sanlang to keep him company while Yang Xiaoni and Ms.

Xu attended to the meal preparations.

As Tongshun and the other gifts were unloaded from the wagon, Ms.

Fang couldn’t contain her joy, though she couldn’t help but express concern over the expense.

“How much money did this cost?

We have an abundance at home, and with so many items, it’ll be ages before we use them all.

What if they go to waste or get damaged?

Please refrain from such extravagance in the future!” Zhao Shu reassured her with a chuckle.

“It’s just some tailored fabric, dry goods, seafood, and everyday necessities.

Nothing to fret over!” Meanwhile, Taotao had discreetly retreated to her modest courtyard.

Concerned that she might harbor reservations or sadness about the marriage, the third section of the family intended to offer her solace.
