Chapter 1058: Waiting
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
But Eldest Uncle informed them that he had no money and that all the money in the household belonged to Ms. Fang. As a result, they hesitated to ask Ms. Fang for it, fearing they might face physical retribution.
Ms. Ma and Third Uncle grew even more frustrated.
They didn’t dare to approach Ms. Fang for the money. They would likely end up enduring a few slaps instead.
Ms. Fang, aware of their loss of 30 liang, coldly smiled and felt a sense of relief.
Since she had recently severed ties with the second section of the family, it wasn’t the right time to cut off her relations.h.i.+p with the third section. Thus, Ms. Fang chose not to mention it.
In short, the third section had brought trouble upon themselves, and they were the ones suffering the consequences.
Ms. Fang didn’t want Shao Yunduan to be bothered by this issue, so she refrained from informing him or Qiao Xuan about it, nor did she allow her family to mention it.
Nevertheless, she took Taotao’s family matter seriously.
Shao Yunduan had become an official with a promising future. With Qi being absent, many people had their eyes on Taotao!
It was needless to say that the second section of the family was no longer suitable. The third section had learned their lesson and no longer entertained the idea. However, Ms. Fang worried about the possibility of someone intentionally luring Taotao. Taotao was an innocent girl who had never experienced the world, so there was concern about her being seduced.
That was Ms. Fang’s primary worry.
After expressing her thoughts, Ms. Fang let out a sigh. “Think it over and decide for me. What should we do about Taotao? It would be wonderful if we could settle this before you come to the capital!”
Hearing these words, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan exchanged glances and smiled helplessly.
Marriage wasn’t something that could be resolved so easily, especially when it involved Taotao.
Being the only girl in the family, Shao Yunduan couldn’t afford to be careless.
Even if Taotao married a man of questionable character and had her family’s support, it would ultimately bring her pain and suffering.
After Ms. Fang departed, Qiao Xuan gazed at Shao Yunduan with a smile. “This is quite a challenging situation, isn’t it?”
Shao Yunduan nodded and pulled her into his embrace. “You always have brilliant ideas. Why don’t you share your thoughts with me?”
Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment. “I believe there is no one in the surrounding villages, including the county city, who is truly deserving of Taotao!”
Shao Yunduan “….”
He didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh, but upon careful consideration, Qiao Xuan’s observation seemed to hold some truth.
“Darling, don’t forget!” Qiao Xuan swatted away his playful hands. “Taotao has a substantial amount of personal wealth, at least a thousand taels, right? When she gets married, her family will provide a generous dowry, and we will contribute significantly as well! So, who else in the countryside can measure up to her?”
Qiao Xuan continued, “Furthermore, look at how skilled Taotao has become. She knows everything, especially when it comes to making lipstick. She has mastered the entire process. I only shared with her the ratio of beeswax and flower juice. Even after she marries, she should remain in control of this matter. However, she needs to be cautious about the family she marries into.”
“What concerns me the most is whether her husband’s family might attempt to secretly learn the process when they see the money involved, or even exploit it to harm Taotao.”
“But if we forbid her from intervening in this matter because she’s married, won’t she feel miserable?”
Qiao Xuan’s decision to pa.s.s down the entire process to Taotao stemmed from her lack of trust in Ms. Xu.
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni were sisters-in-law, and if Yang Xiaoni were the one to inherit the knowledge, Ms. Xu would become the sister-in-law. How could she accept that? Conflicts within the family were bound to arise.
