84 Ms. Fang’s Concern
That very afternoon, the matchmaker came over to exchange the engagement card. The date of May 20th was settled upon, and the whole thing was organized at a lightning speed.
Qiao Xuan saw the date and her lip corners could not help but twitch. 520, what a good date…
Shao Sanlang laughed as if he had turned mental. He went to Ms. Fang and kept flattering her.
Ms. Fang struck hard on his head and snapped. “You useless man! Now you have realized your goal! But let me tell you right now, if your daughter-in-law doesn’t respect me or disobey me openly and defends her family, I will not keep her here! If you dare to defend her in this way, you and I are no longer mother and son.”
As for whether or not Yang Xiaoni’s brother and sister-in-law would continue to pester them after Yang Xiaoni was married, Ms. Fang wasn’t that worried at all.
They were just her brother and sister-in-law.
No brother or sister-in-law of any family would get involved with their married sister, unless the married sister was taking her brother’s side.
Ms. Fang would not agree to hang out with those shameless people either.
She was not going to allow them to take advantage of her family.
Since they were just brother and sister-in-law, Ms. Fang agreed to the marriage because Yang Xiaoni was a good girl.
Shao Sanlang smiled and nodded constantly. He said in a flattering tone, “Don’t worry, Mom, I will respect you and father along with her! She hates her brother and sister-in-law too, so she is not going to take their side.”
Haha!
Ms. Fang was amused.
Seeing his mother smiling, Shao Sanlang turned to Qiao Xuan. “Thank you very much, Fifth Sister-in-law. Both of us owe you big! You can turn to me for help if you need anything in the future!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “No worries, Third Brother, we are a family!”
“Yes, yes we are a family! We will remember what you have done for us forever!” Shao Sanlang smiled and said, “Oh yes, you don’t have to pay me any salary. When Xiaoni is here, we will work for you together!”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “Third Brother, these are two different things. You are getting paid anyway. Otherwise Elder Brother and Elder Sister-in-law would be very embarrassed.”
Shao Sanlang was startled, wondering why.
Ms. Fang glared at him and explained things to make him understand what she meant. He smiled at Qiao Xuan and laughed even more awkwardly.
Shao Sanlang got paid but the money was given to Ms. Fang.
He was getting married next month and they needed to host a simple banquet, which might cost some money as well.
Ms. Fang accepted the payment.
When this matter was settled, Qiao Xuan, together with Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao went up into the mountains and hunted honeycombs. Shao Yunduan was not assured, so he followed them for a walk.
Ms. Fang was worried about Shao Sanlang’s wedding.
The bride had nothing to offer, and they had to prepare for everything.
They needed the matchmaker, the happy litter, and the orchestras too. Moreover, they needed new blankets for the room, and the couple needed to have new clothes too. Then, they also needed to provide small snacks for the guests too…
Also, there would be at least one representative from each household of the village to attend either weddings or funerals, including children. But some close relatives, apart from the formally-invited guests, would all be present too…
