Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1062: Shao Erlang’s Marriage

Thus, on the day of the bridal escort, everything proceeded as usual.

Ms. Niu was so furious that she didn’t even make an appearance.

Initially, Mei Qing felt a bit disgusted, but when Ms. Yan brought her dinner, she reassured her with a smile. “Cousin, no, Second Sister-in-law, let her be. Our mother-in-law has always been like this. The more she goes overboard, the guiltier Second Brother feels towards you, and that’s a good thing! I don’t believe we can’t handle her!”

Ms. Yan winked at her, and Mei Qing smiled back, feeling much better.

Even if Shao Erlang couldn’t handle the situation, he would undoubtedly feel remorseful after being mistreated today, making it easier to deal with Ms. Niu.

Mei Qing firmly held Ms. Yan’s hands and sighed, saying, “Jiaojiao, you and I are family now. I will never forget your kindness. Let’s live a good life from now on!”

Ms. Yan understood that Mei Qing was referring to her own family, so she replied with a smile, “Sister-in-law, don’t say that. There is no need to mention kindness. Honestly, if Second Brother were to marry someone else, why shouldn’t it be you, Sister-in-law? We’re already familiar with each other, aren’t we?”

“That’s true!” The two of them exchanged smiles and glanced at each other.

Even though Ms. Niu was “ill” and absent, it didn’t impact the overall situation.

Second marriages were not highly valued to begin with, so Mei Qing didn’t feel too aggrieved.

Even if others gossiped, their words held limited weight.

Mei Qing was no longer the naive and ignorant young lady from her teenage years. She regarded her dignity with great seriousness and paid no heed to gossip.

Initially, she thought she would spend the rest of her life as a widow, living cautiously under the care of her brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews. Although they didn’t despise her, their fondness for her was limited. She had to tread carefully each day, enduring inevitable hardships.

Even if Mei Qing were to find another family to marry, it was unlikely that she would have a good match. At best, it would be a compromise.

Unexpectedly, she had managed to secure such a favorable marriage. Even if her mother-in-law feigned illness and skipped the wedding banquet, Mei Qing had no objections.

At this point, Mei Qing could officially be considered a member of the second branch of the family.

Ms. Niu was indeed a troublemaker.

Mei Qing could endure it, but the more she endured, the more arrogant Ms. Niu became. Then one day, Shao Erlang saw Ms. Niu kneeling in the yard as a form of punishment. Shao Erlang was furious. He looked at the wounds on Mei Qing’s hands and demanded to know how Ms. Niu had treated her so poorly!

Ms. Yan refused to disclose the details, but she hinted at Shao Erlang to ask his own children.

Ms. Niu had influenced them not to like Mei Qing either, so when they heard their father’s question, they complained bitterly.

However, they were just children and lacked shrewdness. Shao Erlang managed to coax them with a few words.

Shao Juan even shared with Shao Erlang how her grandmother had punished her stepmother, further fueling Shao Erlang’s fury. He insisted on splitting up the family that very day.

Ms. Yan was delighted. It would be wonderful if they could indeed separate.

Ms. Niu resisted, but she dared not mistreat Mei Qing any longer. Shao Erlang warned that if he discovered any mistreatment again, they would definitely go their separate ways.

As the eldest son, Shao Erlang had lived with Ms. Niu and his younger brother after the separation. However, if they were to separate now, Mei Qing would become the mistress of the family, which would bring about a significant change.
