Chapter 1019: Still a Family
Qiao Xuan.
However, she couldn’t help but find it amusing. Bursting into laughter, she replied, “Don’t worry, Mom, I will cook two dishes for my husband and two dishes for my parents. Besides, I need to eat too!”
“What?…”
Ms. Fang was delighted to hear Qiao Xuan’s response. She thought her daughter-in-law was sensible and filial, and with her by her son’s side, she had nothing to worry about.
“It’s rare for you to be so filial, but you don’t have to go through the trouble today. Rest for a bit! You can be filial to your parents any other day. They won’t miss a meal with Yun Duan around!”
Feeling touched, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, “Mom, since you care about me, I will listen to you!”
“Alright, alright. Now, go and rest! Your sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law’s culinary skills may not be as good as yours, but they’ve improved. I’ll have them send you some food later.”
“I’ll ask Lixia and Liqiu to help. They can send it over later.”
Qiao Xuan smiled at Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni and said, “Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, we’re family, so please don’t treat me like an outsider! Let’s maintain our close bond, just like before!”
Observing Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni’s respectful but somewhat helpless expressions, and hearing Ms. Xu’s hesitant “you,” Qiao Xuan felt a bit uneasy.
She didn’t want there to be any distance between them.
Since arriving in this world, she had acquired superpowers, wealth, a husband, and her relationship with her in-laws was also good. All she wanted was for everyone to remain close and continue living happily. That, to her, would be the ultimate perfection and happiness!
She was not that petty.
They were not arrogant just because they had obtained the power.
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni were startled.
Yang Xiaoni smiled embarrassedly. “This…. can this work?… Fifth Sister-in-law, you’re now the wife of the Primus and the wife of an official.”
Qiao Xuan burst into laughter. “Am I still the Fifth Sister-in-law?”
Yang Xiaoni nodded dumbly.
Qiao Xuan tried not to laugh. “Well, as long as I am still your Fifth Sister-in-law, we will be the same as before.”
“This… really works?”
“Sure!”
“Alright, let’s listen to Fifth Sister-in-law!” Yang Xiaoni chuckled and looked much more relaxed.
Ms. Xu nodded with a smile, looking relaxed.
Qiao Xuan was still resting in her own yard when Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni, Taotao, Lixia, Liqiu, Ms. Yan and a few other women helped her to make a meal.
Shao Yunduan and Eldest Uncle were eating with the Land Officer and the elders, and three tables were set up at the ceremonial team. Shao Dalang and Shao Sanlang greeted them.
Qiao Xuan did not eat in the yard, but stayed with Ms. Fang and the others somewhere else.
After dinner, the Land Officer and the elders chatted with Shao Yunduan and his son for half the night before they left happily.
From the next day onwards, the house became a hub of liveliness. Relatives and friends arrived in a continuous stream, creating a bustling atmosphere akin to revolving doors and musical chairs.
Qiao Xuan found herself occupied for five to six days before finally getting a moment to catch her breath.
When the auspicious day arrived, the family head led Shao Yunduan to pay respects to their ancestors. To celebrate, the first branch of the Shao Family hosted a grand banquet, extending their warm hospitality to the villagers.
