After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1373 Accommodate a Thousand People

“Elder Brother! Your family has really struck the lottery! If you ask me, it’s useless to raise sons. My three disappointing sons can’t even marry as well as your daughter! I wish I had a daughter too!” Shao Yin’s aunt, Shao Chun, said.

“Even if you have a daughter, she might not be as promising as Shao Yin! In our Shao family, Shao Yin is the only one who married into such a good family! Elder Brother, you have educated her well! My daughter grew up together with your Shao Yin. In the future, I’ll still need your Shao Yin to help me introduce her to a good husband!” Shao Yin’s youngest uncle, Shao Tu, said.

Shao Chun rolled her eyes in disdain. Although her three sons did not do very well, they still relied on their own hands to make a living. It was definitely not a problem for them to support their own families, unlike Shao Tu’s son, Shao Xian, who only knew how to fool around.

Two days ago, there were even rumors that Shao Xian had taken a fancy to the young widow living near the village entrance and was spending all his time with her. Those who did not know better would think that Shao Xian was the young widow’s husband!

Speaking of which, the young widow was also quite pitiful. She was still so young and her husband had died in an accident while working in the factory. This man’s parents had passed away when he was young, so the young widow was his only relative in this world. The factory had given her a compensation sum that was enough for her to live on for three to four years!

Everyone said that Shao Xian had taken a fancy to the young widow because of her money and did not really want to be with her. Shao Xian did not care about those rumors at all. As long as he could be with the young widow, he was willing to do anything.

However, the Shao family would never allow such a thing to happen. No matter how lacking the Shao family was, they would not allow a widow to marry into the family!

Shao Tu was so angry that he told Shao Xian to return home immediately. Even when Shao Xian was made to kneel in the Shao family’s ancestral hall, he still refused to repent. Shao Tu had no choice but to lock Shao Xian up in the woodshed. He thought that as time passed, Shao Xian would forget that woman. He then considered this matter temporarily settled.

Not long ago, Shao Chun even helped Shao Xian to cover up this matter. Now that the worst was over, he even dared to pick a quarrel with her here. She would not forget what he did today. When she had a chance in the future, she would definitely settle scores with Shao Tu.

Shao Yin’s father, Shao Zhuang, straightened his back and said, “My daughter and Xia Xing had fallen in love on their own. When he came to my house to propose to marry Shao Yin, he even said a lot of nice things! In the beginning, it was also Xia Xing who proactively wooed my Shao Yin. Xia Xing is so good to my Shao Yin and has even invited us to come and live in a big house in the capital!”

“I hear that Shao Yin is living in a siheyuan courtyard house in the capital now! One courtyard house can accommodate more than 100 people!” Shao Tu said.

“How uncultured! That house is big enough to accommodate more than 1,000 people!” Shao Chun said proudly, as if she was very cultured. In fact, even Qiao Mei’s entire courtyard house could only accommodate about 40 people.

“Heavens! Doesn’t that mean that we can invite everyone in our village to stay here?” Shao Tu said in surprise.

Everyone tried to curry favor with Shao Zhuang. Perhaps if they made Shao Zhuang happy, he would bring them along to get rich too? Shao Xian stood at one side with a sullen expression. He did not want to be associated with these people.

He had come today only out of respect for Shao Yin. He and Shao Yin had grown up together and Shao Yin was the only person in the family who agreed with and understood his decision to be with the young widow. Therefore, he must attend Shao Yin’s wedding.

“If the Xia family is so good in everything, then why haven’t the Xia family members come to pick us up yet? Why are we at the police post now?” Shao Xian asked mockingly.

Everyone looked a little awkward and even Shao Zhuang felt a little embarrassed for a moment. The truth was that he had made an impromptu decision to ask everyone to come to the capital today and he did not inform anyone in advance about it. Even Shao Yin was not aware that Shao Zhuang and the rest of them had come to the capital.

He had to continue to keep up appearances on his own now. Since he had boasted that he would be able to let all his relatives come to the capital to enjoy life, he could not go back on his word. Otherwise, how could he show his face in the village in the future?

“What are you talking about! Would your eldest uncle lie to you? This is all the Xia family’s fault. They are not well prepared at all!” Shao Chun pointed at Shao Xian and reprimanded him.

“That’s right! The Xia family is looking down on us! When they come later, we can’t just let them off. We have to teach them a lesson,” Shao Tu echoed.
