Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1065: Humiliation

“If anyone desires to be scolded, go ahead and speak up.”

Ms. Fang had always been sharp-tongued. Everyone exchanged glances and fell silent.

Many people were merely trying to join in the conversation without genuine intentions. Upon hearing Ms. Fang’s words, they realized they couldn’t attain what they desired, so they felt relieved and refrained from saying more.

However, Ms. Niu Senior was different.

She harbored deep envy towards the Shao Family’s first section.

They possessed an official position, acquired land, and even donated fertile land and substantial amounts of silver to the village. How much personal wealth did they possess to give away 400 acres of land and hundreds of taels of silver without hesitation?

For instance, at the previous banquet, there was an abundance of poultry and fish. The gentry and elderly masters showered them with countless gifts, worth a significant sum alone!

In the future, even if their family didn’t engage in farming, they could enjoy meals with white rice and meat. They wouldn’t have to skimp on cooking vegetables, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar!

What an enviable life!

Furthermore, at the banquet, her daughter had developed feelings for Shao Yunduan.

Come to think of it, when the second section of the family celebrated their daughter-in-law’s marriage, her family attended the wedding banquet as well. Her daughter and Shao Yunduan must have met on that occasion, which was even better. They were acquainted with each other.

Ms. Niu Senior believed that the Shao Family had no relation to others, but her own family was different. She was a relative of the Shao Family, so no matter what she said, Ms. Fang wouldn’t refuse her.

While everyone else remained silent, Ms. Niu Senior couldn’t help but giggle and jokingly say, “Sister-in-law Fang, don’t get angry. This is a serious matter. If the Primus doesn’t have any wives or concubines, won’t it be embarrassing for him? We know each other well in the village, so doesn’t that mean—”

“Shut up!” Ms. Fang’s expression turned stern before Ms. Niu Senior could finish her sentence. She sneered, “If you want your daughter to become someone’s concubine, there might be someone willing to have her! Don’t say such things to me! I don’t want her!”

Embarrassment washed over Ms. Niu Senior, her face alternating between red and white. Angered, she retorted, “Sister-in-law, you’re being too dismissive! Don’t think so highly of yourself. Will the Primus never take a concubine in his entire life?”

Ms. Fang replied firmly, “That’s right, he will never take a concubine in his entire life! My fifth son is not the kind of person who forgets his roots or his identity after becoming the Primus! Why should he take a concubine?”

Gritting her teeth, Ms. Niu Senior warned, “Sister-in-law, remember what you’ve said. Don’t contradict yourself in the future.”

Ms. Fang reassured, “Don’t worry, I won’t!”

Ms. Niu Senior sneered, “What if… what if”

Ms. Niu Senior didn’t dare to voice her thoughts about Qiao Xuan not giving birth, so she abruptly stood up and left.

Despite her anger, she remained rational. If she dared to utter those words, Ms. Fang would definitely slap her.

And she certainly didn’t dare to retaliate.

Ms. Fang cast a disdainful glance at her departing figure. “What nonsense!”
