Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 836 - 836: Unpredictable

It was understandable that Ms. Niu might feel anxious after the previous

incident. However, her current behavior seemed excessive.

Qiao Xuan worried that Ms. Zhang could suffer mentally from such treatment. Although Ms. Zhang had been described as narrow-minded, dumb, and extreme, her potential actions remained unpredictable.

Considering that Ms. Niu had agreed to take Ms. Zhang in, it was inappropriate to treat her this way.

However, Ms. Niu was not enthusiastic about accepting Ms. Zhang in the first place. It was Shao Erlang who insisted, and Ms. Niu herself was not known for being open-minded.

The situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, and the future appeared uncertain to all involved.

Qiao Xuan confided in Ms. Fang, seeking her opinion on the matter.

Ms. Fang furrowed her brows and spoke abruptly, “Your Second Aunt-in-law is also causing trouble with her foolishness. If she chose to take her in, she should let go of the past and be more open-minded. What’s the point otherwise?”

Qiao Xuan expressed concern that another incident might occur, especially for the sake of the two young children involved. They were innocent and deserved better.

In light of this, Qiao Xuan pondered whether it was necessary to warn Ms. Niu after all, and shared these thoughts with Ms. Fang.

Ms. Qiao’s face brightened with a smile upon hearing Ms. Fang’s words.

“Mom, you’re so understanding. You can have a conversation with Second

Aunt-in-law, but ultimately, it’s up to her whether she wants to accept it.”

“Exactly. I can only provide the warning, but I can’t force her to listen. Their family affairs are not my concern!”

Soon, Ms. Fang approached Ms. Niu to discuss the matter.

However, Ms. Niu dismissed every word Ms. Fang said, even going so far as to label her as nosy and relishing in her supposed misery. Treating Ms. Zhang better was out of the question for Ms. Niu. She believed that Ms. Fangs intentions were to ensure they didn’t lead a good life.

Ms. Fang grew increasingly frustrated by this response.

She vented her frustrations at home, only ceasing when Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni tried to console her.

The warning had been given but not accepted. Nevertheless, they no longer felt guilty about not passing on the message. They would be cautious to avoid becoming entangled in their misfortune.

The first section of the family had a good relationship with Ms. Yan. So when Nis. Yan came to visit, Yang Xiaoni discreetly offered her some reminders to be prepared. However, there was no need to inform others about this.

Ms. Yan was taken aback by the revelation.

Ms. Yan also recognized that her mother-in-law’s behavior was excessive. She had not anticipated the potential mental distress that Ms. Zhang might experience or the possibility of her engaging in further unpredictable actions. Nevertheless, the warning served as a reminder and left her feeling uneasy.

Ms. Yan nodded in agreement and assured Qiao Xuan that she was aware of the situation.

Admittedly, Ms. Zhang had a peculiar temperament, and under the treatment she received from Ms. Niu, she could potentially cause trouble once again.

Ms. Yan, however, wanted to avoid getting entangled in the situation. She questioned why she had to be involved in the first place.

Subsequently, people’s attention began to shift away from Ms. Zhang as a significant event unfolded in the village.

A military recruitment order had been issued for Shaoding Village. The Ding Family and the Shao Family were each required to send one person to join the army.

Panic spread throughout the village as families with less than two sons became anxious.

The realization that joining the army meant potential suffering and the risk of being killed in battle made everyone desperate to prevent their sons from being drafted.

The only exceptions were families too impoverished to support their child or those who harbored dislike towards their own offspring..
