Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 16

Ms. Niu’s Dislike To Qiao Xuan

“As for you… keep your back straight. Don’t give out your things if you don’t want to! Get them back if they dare to rob you of it, or hit them! In this way, they would be scared, otherwise they would get increasingly unreasonable! Also, if you are wronged, tell me, don’t just shed tears. The more you cry, the more easily-bullied you appear to be!”

“Mom…” Shao Taotao’s eyes turned red, as she lowered her head gradually.

Ms. Fang became both concerned and annoyed. “What are you shedding tears for? I am just teaching you what to do!”

Qiao Xuan patted Shao Taotao’s shoulders slightly and consoled her. “Mom, Taotao is a kind-hearted girl, much better than those girls. She can rectify her flaw, but gradually…”

Ms. Fang sighed slightly. She knew that. She had just gotten a bit anxious at that time.

She couldn’t help but blame her husband, who had messed up everything.

Ms. Fang threw a gaze at Qiao Xuan with a satisfied look. “You are a good girl, you defended Taotao. You have to be careful in the future, understand?”

“Got it, Mom!”

As they were talking, Ms. Niu and Ms. Mang came inwith Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi, looking furious.

Ms. Niu, who had just been mocked by Ms. Fang earlier in the morning, was already filled with anger. And at this moment, she was totally thronged with the feeling of deep hatred and grudge.

She stepped in the yard and said with a cold smile, “Eldest Sister-in-law, you are indeed on the air right now, aren’t you? You have become so different after you have added a good daughter-in-law to your home. Are you taking yourself as some Madame of some mansion? Meiling addresses you respectfully as Aunt, but you are bullying her, your own niece?”

Then she turned to Qiao Xuan and let out a sneer. “Honestly, you, I don’t care even if you are the daughter of the Emperor. Now, you are the daughter-in-law of the Shao Family, so you should show respect to your cousins and sisters. It is your first day here and you are already trying to turn cousins against each other and cause trouble. What is your purpose?”

“Are you trying to turn the family members against each other, because you think that you have been demeaned to become a part of our family?”

Ms. Mang added more words. “I totally agree! Your behavior is way over the top! If you don’t want to be married to our family, you can just turn away. Our family is not a very high-status family, but we haven’t forced you to be part of us! What is your purpose of causing trouble and setting up conspiracies, so that everything suddenly becomes wrong in our family?”

“True!” Ms. Niu was so annoyed. She had found Qiao Xuan increasingly displeasing to her eye!

Her son was studying with Shao Yunduan in Minghua College in the county, but Shao Yunduan made it to the Cultivated Talent, whilst her own son failed because of bad luck. After that, Shao Yunduan married a rich wife, and with the help of the wife’s father, he was going to take off!

On the other hand, her son would fall far behind in the family!

That was so wrong!

Qiao Xuan was cursing Ms. Niu as evil inside her heart. This woman might not have any idea of what ‘killing people by stabbing the heart’ meant, yet that was what Ms. Niu was doing!

If her mother-in-law had been a confused woman, she would have been convinced by what she heard just now. She surely would have assumed that whatever Qiao Xuan did might be related to this reason. That would make her life difficult here!

Luckily, her mother-in-law was a woman with a clear mind!

Qiao Xuan was no longer anxious any more.

She was the junior member of the family, a newly-wedded wife to one of the sons. So, she did not counter Ms. Niu at the moment. Instead, she turned to Ms. Fang with a pitiful look on her face.

Ms. Fang squinted at the two women and said, “My daughter-in-law knows how to defend her sister-in-law one day after she steps into this family! I am really happy about that. You two don’t have to worry about our family affairs!”
