Chapter 879: Not Giving
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yang Xiaoni and the others agreed, despite the unconventional timing for tree planting. Perhaps, just maybe, these trees could defy the odds and survive.
With renewed enthusiasm, they quickly transported the straws and covered the seeds, exchanging smiles and saying, “Alright, we’ve provided them with warmth.” “Yes, our trees should make it through the winter!”
Satisfied with their efforts, they happily returned home.
Upon their return, Ms. Fang asked Yang Xiaoni to prepare some items for the third section of the family. Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had purchased a significant amount of goods in the province, and it was only fitting to share some gifts with the third section as a gesture of goodwill.
Considering Shao Yunduan’s promising future, it was unnecessary to quibble over such minor matters. It wouldn’t be worth tarnis.h.i.+ng their reputation over such trivialities.
Ms. Fang selected pastries, dried fruits, simple garments, and elegant silk flowers for them.
Ms. Ma, aware that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had returned from the province with two wagons full of items, expressed her grat.i.tude and accepted the gifts.
Shortly after Ms. Fang and Yang Xiaoni left, Ms. Ma started going through the presents and approached Ms. Niu, asking, “What did the first section of the family give you? Let me see them too!”
Confused, Ms. Niu responded, “What presents?”
Ms. Ma pursed her lips. “Shao Yunduan went all the way to the province to buy things and gave some to us. Didn’t they give you anything? They’ve become quite selective, haven’t they? Traveling to the province just to buy things.”
She couldn’t help but feel bitter as she thought about her hardworking son at home. Inwardly, she resolved that once her son became a recommended man, she would also hire a wagon and go to the province to buy things.
Word spread quickly in the village, and Ms. Niu was well aware that Shao Yunduan and his wife had returned from the province. Her face twisted as she replied, “They didn’t give us anything!’
Disappointed, Ms. Ma told Ms. Niu, “Alright then, we’ll talk about this tomorrow!” and left.
Ms. Niu eagerly antic.i.p.ated the arrival of the first section of the family, but they never came.
However, she soon spotted Shao Xiaozhi wearing a beautiful silk flower on her head, proudly showing it off to Shao Meiling, who became extremely angry.
Ms. Niu shared this incident with her husband when he returned from visiting their neighbors.
“That’s outrageous! They gave presents to the third section of the family, but not us! They’re looking down on us!” he exclaimed.
Second Uncle grew annoyed and frowned as well.
Ms. Niu couldn’t tolerate it any longer. She believed that they deliberately excluded them, not because they were busy.
“I can’t tolerate this any longer. I’m going to go and talk to them!” Ms. Niu exclaimed, her anger driving her to the first section of the family.
Winter days grew darker earlier, and Qiao Xuan was already preparing dinner, even though it was only four o’clock.
They had decided to have Sauerkraut Fish Hot Pot and Pork Belly Chicken Hot Pot for dinner.
Ms. Niu!s arrival caught everyone’s attention, as they were busy with the food preparations.
Yang Xiaoni smiled and asked, “What’s the matter, Auntie Niu?”
Ms. Fang raised an eyebrow, her expression unkind.
Ms. Niu became even more irritated upon hearing that strange t.i.tle. “Honestly, Sister-in-law…
“Hey!” Ms. Fang interjected. “Who’s the Sister-in-law here? Just call me Ms.. Fang! We’re no longer the way we used to be, and it’s not appropriate to address each other like that, right?”
