Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

They all spoke highly of this magical scene and held a heated discussion among themselves.

But no one was able to draw a conclusion of why that happened, so they all agreed to believe that it was because this patch of land was in a rich environment. Maybe the water and the soil had turned better, causing the loquats to ripen faster, and for mints to flourish more wildly!

Qiao Xuan had a smile on her face, feeling very proud – these were her achievements!

Shao Yunhuai, the seventh brother of the whole family, was nicknamed Little Seven. He was physically agile and loved to explore the woods and valleys whenever he had time. Therefore, he always brought back home some wild roosters, birds and rabbits for the family to eat. When he saw the yellow loquats, he could not help but climb onto the tree quickly and picked a large bucket of the fruits for the family to eat.

“Ah, the loquats seem to taste sweeter and have more tender flesh than those in the past year!” Shao Yunguang spoke in a praising tone, as he grabbed an armful of them.

Ms. Fang glared at him. “You are talking nonsense! You don’t even remember how they tasted last year!”

Shao Taotao smiled and said, “Mom, I am not sure if other people might remember, but I am sure that third brother should definitely remember the taste! He loves all sorts of fruits, he must be right about it!”

Shao Yunguang really loved food. He was a very persistent foodie, who would even hold the hive tightly in his arms and run for as far as one whole mountain, even when he was chased by wild bees after he tried to get the delicious honey. That experience of his made him the object of laughter in the whole village for half a month!

Hearing what Shao Taotao said, everyone could not help but laugh.

When they were done with tasting loquats, they went down and continued with the labor work.

Ms. Fang stopped Shao Yunduan and glared at him. “Where are you going? Your father and your elder brother and third brother can do the labor work, but you will have to keep your wife company, okay? She has just become part of our family. Don’t give her the cold shoulder!”

Then Ms. Fang turned to Qiao Xuan with a sweet smile. “Ms. Qiao, your husband is a very nice person, but he is a little bit careless. Men are always like that, right? If you are unhappy about anything he does or says, just tell me, and I will seek justice for your sake!”

Qiao Xuan smiled brightly. “Mom, my husband is a good person and he is very careful too! Don’t worry, I won’t be unhappy! It is my fortune to have met such a nice husband and mother-in-law!”

Well, she knew pretty well how to behave at this moment – a mother could criticize her own son, but she as the wife could not say anything bad about him.

Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that she was making a smart move!

Sure enough, Ms. Fang smiled even more brightly after hearing her exaggerated praises. She chuckled. “You are such a nice girl! It is our fortune to have you as the daughter-in-law, and Yunduan’s fortune too, hahahah!”

“I feel so honored to have been praised by you, Mother-in-law!”

“No, no, it is all because you are a nice child!”

“I will definitely learn from you and become a good daughter-in-law for the Shao Family!”

“Okay, okay! Hahahahah!”

Shao Yunduan. “…”

He was totally dumbfounded hearing how well the two women were getting on with each other.

He wondered what position he was at the moment. He even suspected that he had misunderstood what he had just heard!

What on earth was going on?

His mother was not very satisfied with his brother’s wife, actually, and had been complaining about her, who seemed quiet but was actually really selfish and full of tricks inside her head.

She even did not like the neighboring village girl, whom his third brother had laid eyes on. She complained that such a dull boy should not have teamed up with an even more dull girl, if they wanted to have a smooth life. More importantly, that girl was parentless and had a greedy brother and sister-in-law who seemed to be extremely annoying and insatiable.

But why was his mother behaving like this, when it came to his wife?!
