Even Ms. Ma couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss.
But Shao Liulang presented his argument in a seemingly reasonable manner. He believed that the first section of the family was being excessively harsh and that their actions were unwarranted.
Ms. Ma, swayed by her son’s words, began to see his point of view as well.
Thus, the three of them paid a visit to Elder Uncle in the evening, seeking his support.
However, to their surprise, Elder Uncle was not supportive at all. On the contrary, he advised them against getting involved with the Zhao Family and Lady Zhao.
“Why should you marry someone from that family when you already know that something is wrong?” Elder Uncle questioned. He expressed his disappointment and reminded them of how Zhao Guanghua had nearly destroyed their family. Out of mercy, the family had spared them, allowing them to leave the county.
His words hit Shao Liulang and Ms. Ma like a cold gust of wind, causing them to hesitate and reconsider their plans.
They are rich, so they have the option to relocate and live their lives away from the troubles caused by the Zhao Family. The Shao Family has already shown great tolerance in this matter.
But now, the third section of the family is considering marrying someone from the Zhao Family and pressuring us to forgive them. Elder Uncle simply cannot comprehend how we would be expected to interact with the Zhao Family if Shao Liulang were to marry Elder Miss Zhao. What would his own daughter-in-law think of Elder Miss Zhao and her brother’s visits to our home in the future? And what would his own son think of this situation?
For the first time, Elder Uncle feels deeply disappointed and heartbroken. He wonders why Shao Liulang must marry Elder Miss Zhao, especially considering the current circumstances.
The third section of the family did not anticipate that Elder Uncle would not support their decision, and they are all taken aback by his response.
And they became very angry.
“Elder Uncle, please consider forgiveness. You seem to be losing sight of the bigger picture! ”
“Elder Brother, it wasn’t easy for Liulang to find a potential partner. Why do you insist on ruining it?”
“Can’t we just see it as a misunderstanding? Why must we make it appear so terrible? People might start calling you narrow-minded, and that certainly doesn’t reflect well on our family, does it?”
“You…”
Eldest Uncle felt his anger rise, but he remained silent, as he had never been one to confront his brother and sister-in-law.
Ms. Fang, on the other hand, was more direct. She simply drove them all away, unable to tolerate their stubbornness any longer.
The members of the third section of the family were seething with anger.
“They’re just jealous! They can’t stand the thought of us having a wealthy daughter-in-law! We will find a matchmaker and go to the Zhao Family for the proposal regardless! ”
“Let the first section of the family do whatever they want!”
Shao Liulang worriedly expressed, “But Old Master Zhao and Brother Shao are still in prison. Is it the right time for the proposal?”
Ms. Ma was taken aback. “What? No, the first section of the family must do us this favor! We can ask Ms. Qiao to speak to her father about it!”
Shao Liulang sneered, casting a cold glare at Ms. Ma.
He was well aware of that. But if Shao Yunduan didn’t want the proposal to go forward, would his wife dare to defy him?
Third Uncle chimed in, “The Zhao Family has already come and apologized. What more does the first section of the family want? It was just a misunderstanding, and nothing happened to Ms. Yang!’
Shao Liulang nodded in agreement, “Exactly! It’s all a misunderstanding. Lady Zhao claims it was the fault of the servants. I never imagined Brother Shao would be involved in such things!’
“Absolutely!” Third Uncle exclaimed with a smile. “Let’s discuss this with Eldest Uncle. They’re too hot-headed right now to listen to reason. We’ll come back tomorrow! ”
Ms. Ma pursed her lips and grumbled, “Why not now? Ever since Yunduan became a recommended man, the first section of the family has become so arrogant! ”
“Yes, that’s true!” Third Uncle’s tone turned sour. Secretly, he admitted that he would probably become arrogant too if his own son achieved the recommended status.
Little did they know that after Zhao Ming left Shaoding Village, Shao Yunduan had already set off for the county city..
