Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1781

Chapter 1781: Don’t Go Chapter 1781: Don’t Go Editor: Henyee Translations “Let me make this clear: you’re not allowed to meddle in this affair either.

If you dare to intervene, believe me, I can rally enough people to turn the tables at the banquet.” Ms.

Ma and Third Uncle seethed with indignation.

Annoyed, Ms.

Ma retorted, “I was just talking casually, it’s not that big of a deal.

My words have no bearing on Wulang’s situation.

Sister-in-law, you’re being petty and overly serious!

Besides, when Wulang passed the exam and Liulang didn’t make it to intermediate, you all mocked us.

Why should we bother arguing with you?” Third Uncle chimed in, nodding in agreement.

“Exactly!

We couldn’t care less, so why are you so bothered?” Ms.

Fang sneered.

“Stop twisting the truth!

I distinctly remember you all saying that Yunduan only lucked into his intermediate recommendation and isn’t as capable as your Liulang!” The recollection incensed Ms.

Fang.

“Enough!

Keep spewing lies, and I won’t hold back!

Don’t think Liulang’s recommendation gives you any power over us.

My Yunduan is a Prefect, and you’re still wet behind the ears!” Third Uncle interjected furiously, “Alright, alright, I get it now.

You’re just envious!

This is nothing but wounded pride!

Hmph!

We extended an olive branch in goodwill, offering you an opportunity!

If you’re not interested, forget it!

And when our Liulang achieves success in the future, don’t even think about seeking his help!” “Exactly!

If you think we can’t afford a banquet, think again!

Not only will we hold it, but we’ll make it a grand affair!” “That’s right!

Since you’re acting like this, don’t bother coming to the banquet.” Ms.

Ma refused to let the first branch of the family enjoy the banquet she had prepared.

“Perfect!” Ms.

Fang remarked with a smirk.

“I couldn’t care less!

I won’t attend either way.

You can apologize to me first and then extend an invitation.

Otherwise, count me out of all your events.” Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma grew even more incensed.

She still expected an apology?

This sister-in-law was truly living in a dream.

Yang Xiaoni couldn’t help but inquire, “Mother, if we skip out on these noodles, does that mean we can skip the gift-giving too?” Ms.

Fang shot a pleased glance at Yang Xiaoni.

Despite her simple nature, she had a knack for shrewd conversation.

“Absolutely!

You won’t see a single coin from me!” Yang Xiaoni chuckled.

“Oh, what a silly question I asked.

Of course, of course, of course!” Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma were taken aback.

They exchanged anxious glances.

As thick-skinned as Ms.

Ma was, she couldn’t retract her statement.

Refusing to provide the gift money?

Unthinkable!

Everyone knew the first branch of the family was affluent, and their familial ties demanded generosity, if not more.

Their bravado waned instantly.

They dared not utter another word and departed crestfallen.

Shao Liulang had been swamped with engagements lately, attending one banquet after another.

Upon returning to the village, he overheard some troubling chatter.

Incensed, he reprimanded Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma.

As a recommended man now, he grasped the importance of maintaining good relations with Shao Yunduan, particularly until he secured an intermediate Advanced Scholar position and established himself in the capital.

Cultivating a favorable rapport with Shao Yunduan was imperative.

In the bureaucratic realm, connections and patronage were paramount.

Even if Shao Yunduan were ousted from the capital, he’d still retain some influential ties in the intermediate circles.
