Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

That would not work.

Ms. Fang did not approve of it. She kept reminding him of what Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma did to them, and Eldest Uncle felt quite helpless.

But they already apologized! Could this matter not be done by now?

!!

The two of them argued but could not talk it through, so Second Uncle and Third Uncle had to leave first.

Ms. Fang felt much better after telling Qiao Xuan what happened. She sneered. “I am determined this time. I will never let them get what they want! We have given them so much over these years. It won’t work, if it continues in this way!”

Those people not only failed to thank them, but kept showing off outside the family, saying that the first section of the family were like their employees.

Worse still, they even made up lies about the first section of the family.

Her third son was getting married soon, and when they had so many daughter-in-laws at home, the daughter-in-laws would not be happy about the arrangement. Their dissatisfaction might lead to unhappiness in their own family, which would be such a pity.

Those two sections of the family never made efforts in spring plowing, and Ms. Fang was displeased to see that they had more fields than she did.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Right, Mom! We should never let them get what they want this time, but we can also think of a solution to make them pay for what they ask from us.”

Ms. Fang’s eyes sparkled, and she asked. “Do you have any good ideas?”

Qiao Xuan had a clear knowledge of what was going on.

Her mother-in-law acted toughly, but she might not have full clarity about the situation.

Her father-in-law would never allow his two brothers’ family to miss the spring plow. It was a major event that could not be ruined at any cost.

The second section of the family had a few sons, but the third section of the family had just one son who was only focused on studies. After he started to go to school, and read, he believed that he was different from the rest of the family. He was definitely not going to the fields to do labor work!

Therefore, they could never make any rake or finish the plowing.

It would be so troublesome, if they missed the spring plow and came to the first section of the family for food, when they had nothing at home to eat.

They could not just be driven out of the family, right?

Qiao Xuan explained all this to Ms. Fang with a smile.

She said that even if they offered the help, they should not do it so easily.

Ms. Fang smiled. “Yes, we will do as you say. I will never make them happy!”

Sure enough, the second section of the family and the third section of the family came to them in the evening again.

Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were present too. They were here to make an apology.

The two women were not so willing to offer an apology and were really angry and irritated since that day.

They had been so intimidating in front of Ms. Fang over the years. They never thought that one day they would have to apologize to Ms. Fang.

But Ms. Fang was really furious this time. She did not allow her sons to offer a hand, which made the two women very worried.

For the practical help they would receive, they had to tolerate the displeasure and humiliation at the moment.

Ms. Fang felt slightly happy, as she saw how these two women behaved.

So she decided to put on the air of being the eldest sister-in-law of the family.

“Since you all know what mistakes you have made, I can forgive you somehow. But just look at what you have done outside the family? You are never thankful! It is so cruel of you! We have offered you so much help during the past few years, and you never remember how kind we are! No wonder the proverb goes that the more help you offer, the less thankful the receiver would be!”
