The following day, the entire Yan family, including Ms. Yan’s parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law, arrived at the doorstep, causing Ms. Niu to tremble in fear, hiding away in her room and refusing to come out.

However, she couldn’t avoid the Yan family’s presence. Unlike Ms. Zhang’s family in the past, the Yan family didn’t create a scene and approached the situation with reasonableness.

Mr. Yan asked Ms. Niu what she had done wrong. What were her mistakes? She also acknowledged that her family held some responsibility, and it would be best if they could point out their errors so that they could guide Ms. Yan in the right direction.

After all, Ms. Yan was their daughter, and they would never abandon her.

Nevertheless, this matter couldn’t be postponed any further. As it stood, only the Yan family had come today. Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were still diligently working at the tofu store’s workshop, unaffected by the situation.

It had to be acknowledged that the Yan family possessed remarkable tact. They took this opportunity to mention Shao Erlang and Shao Silang.

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle were dumbfounded.

Truly, the Yan family was extraordinarily magnanimous. Their business thrived, and the salaries they provided to Shao Erlang and Shao Silang continued to increase. Each of them now earned 5 liang per month, totaling 8 liang combined.

In the past, their family couldn’t save such a substantial amount of money in an entire year, but now they could achieve it in just one month.

Without this income, Ms. Niu would go insane, let alone Second Uncle.

Second Uncle grew increasingly anxious, even praising Ms. Yan while reprimanding Ms. Niu.

Ms. Niu felt a mix of anger and fear, but she had no choice but to admit her mistakes. She forced a smile and claimed that she had been so infuriated that she uttered a few thoughtless words to Ms. Yan, but they shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Mrs. Yan couldn’t be easily deceived. Under her persistent questioning, Ms. Niu had no choice but to change her words and admit that she didn’t just make casual remarks but had actually scolded Ms. Yan. She also made a promise that it would never happen again.

The elderly couple from the Yan family scolded Ms. Yan once more and instructed her not to throw tantrums in the future. Ms. Yan agreed, and thus the matter was resolved.

After having lunch at Second Uncle’s house, Second Uncle asked Ms. Niu and Ms. Yan to prepare chicken and steam-cured meat for the guests, and the Yan family returned home.

As soon as the Yan family arrived back, Ms. Niu glared at Ms. Yan, but Second Uncle immediately pulled her away.

He gave her a warning, and Ms. Niu realized what was going on. Annoyed and frightened, she dared not throw another tantrum at Ms. Yan.

She truly couldn’t afford to offend her daughter-in-law!

Speaking of which, Ms. Niu and Second Uncle failed to reconcile with the first section of the family and became the subject of mockery by many villagers.

Aware of Ms. Yan’s close relationship with the first section of the family, they hoped that Ms. Yan would intervene on their behalf.

However, Ms. Yan politely declined their request.

“Aunt and sister-in-law, the respect they have for me is based on my own merit. I can’t dare to meddle in such matters. If I can’t even control Uncle’s words, how can I wield such influence? It wouldn’t be good if Aunt and the others became angry with me as well…”

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle were left feeling helpless.

Ms. Niu’s fury only intensified. “What kind of family is this? Which daughter-in-law wields so much power that I, as the mother-in-law, can’t even say anything to her?”
