Chapter 42 - 42 Daughter-in-law's Dowry
42 Daughter-in-law’s Dowry
After dinner, Ms. Xu and Shao Taotao helped to clean up the table and wash the dishes, whilst Xiaoqi and the third son went out for some fun.
Ms. Fang was looking after Shao Junyan and Shao Qing.
Eldest Uncle asked Shao Dalang and Shao Yunduan, as well as Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang to come over. He sighed. “You had an argument with Second Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law?”
He felt really bad hearing what his brothers said to him today. He was so guilty and sad.
He was not someone who wanted to get rid of his own brothers. When his daughter-in-law became so rich and ruthless?
He felt so bashful and guilty upon hearing what his brothers said to him.
This Ms. Qiao was so unruly!
How could she not respect the elderly people and be so selfis.h.!.+ They were one family and they should take care of each other.
Ms. Fang had predicted that her husband would ask them about this. Those brothers were definitely going to report that to their Elder Brother!
“Who said that? I had no argument with them!”
Eldest Uncle said, “Of course yes! Ms. Qiao brought something home and she should have shared them with the second and the third section! We are a family and we should not just eat alone! Ms. Qiao, you should remember that though we are living in different homes, we are still one family. We are related by blood and we should help each other. We should not be so ruthless.”
“You should get something ready and take them to the second and the third sections and apologize to them too. We should not try to argue with them.”
Ms. Fang got angry. “What are you talking about?”
“Dad.” Qiao Xuan’s face turned cold, and her face sank. “I am very glad to share with you what I bought with my dowry, and also with the brothers, but not with those uncles and aunts! I don’t think you are right, Dad.”
“Dad, Ms. Qiao is correct.” Shao Yunduan added. “It is not good when it is spread around. Sixth Brother is studying at the school, and if people hear that his parents are using their niece’s dowry, he would get a very bad reputation too. Sixth Brother is very talented. But for the accident, he would have made it to the imperial examination already. Many people are jealous of him, what if rumors make it worse…”
“That… won’t happen…?”
“Of course it can, dad, Sixth brother can’t afford any bad rumors.”
Shao Yunduan knew clearly what he needed to do to move his father.
He barely spoke, but when he did, he would always. .h.i.t the point.
When Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were getting married, the Sixth Son returned home for the wedding and now he was at the school again.
When Shao Yunduan made it to Cultivated Talent, he had a different ident.i.ty, so he did not go to school frequently as before. Instead, he would just exchange knowledge with other Cultivated Talents regularly every month, when they could hear the lectures from the teachers.
So he was still at home, studying by himself.
Eldest Uncle trusted his son and said, “I just mean that… we should not eat everything alone…”
Ms. Fang said immediately, “We never eat things alone! We always share! Instead, they never give us anything!”
Eldest Uncle became speechless.
It seemed that his daughter-in-law’s dowry did not belong to the shared properties.
Ms. Fang was the mother-in-law who did not deal with the dowry, and he as the father-in-law should not interfere either.
Elder Uncle could not help but sneak a look at Qiao Xuan, hoping that Qiao Xuan could express it herself.
