Shao Yunzhan’s father is Shao Dakun, and his mother is Fang.
The eldest brother, Shao Yunlian, is the eldest among the siblings. His wife is Xu, and they have a son named Shao Junyan, who is six years old, and a daughter named Shao Qing, who is three years old.
The names of their nephew and niece were given by Shao Yunzhan, and his older brother and sister-in-law were very happy with them, thinking that they sounded better than the names of other children in the village.
They also believed that the names given by a literate person were auspicious and a good omen, which might even bring them more fortune!
The second brother, Shao Yunguang, is the third in line and is still unmarried.
Well, the reason why he was snatched away by the fifth-ranked Shao Yunzhan was mainly because of the diving event that delayed things, so he had to quickly get married to make it seem proper.
The fourth brother, Shao Yunhuai (ranked seventh), and the sister, Shao Taotao, are twins who have just turned thirteen years old.
As for the second household, the second uncle is Shao Dalou, and the second aunt is Niu.
The second household has two sons and one daughter, Shao Yunshan (ranked second) and Shao Yunqiao (ranked fourth). Shao Yunshan is married to Zhang, and they also have a son and a daughter, Shao Juan and Shao Xianwen. Shao Yunqiao is still unmarried and is currently looking for a suitable partner.
Their daughter, Shao Meiling, is fifteen years old.
The third household consists of the third uncle, Shao Dashi, and the third aunt, Ma.
The eldest daughter, Shao Meizhi, has already gotten married, and the younger daughter, Shao Xiaozhi, is three months younger than Shao Taotao.
Their son, Shao Yunjiang (ranked sixth), is fifteen years old and is also studying in the county.
At this moment, Qiao Xuan only saw the members of the eldest household. The second and third households would come over in the evening to have a reunion dinner together, and that would be the first time she would see them all.
Fortunately, there weren’t too many people, and Qiao Xuan remembered each of them.
The members of the Shao family were curious and nervous about this precious newcomer. Even the father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. But when Qiao Xuan respectfully bowed to them and called them “father” and “mother” with a smile, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
Good! It’s good! The new daughter-in-law is easygoing.
Shao Yunzhan, who knew about Qiao Xuan’s past, was the most relieved. This woman didn’t cause any trouble and even behaved much better than he expected. It seemed that she had really come to terms with everything…
There aren’t many complicated rules in a rural family. After paying respects and meeting each family member, it will be fine.
Mother-in-law Fang smiled and said some auspicious and encouraging words. Soon, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
Qiao Xuan thought for a moment, and then decisively followed her mother-in-law Fang.
In this era, gaining the favor of the mother-in-law is extremely important.
With her mother-in-law’s support, she can truly establish her position in this family. Otherwise, she would inevitably face endless troubles and difficulties.
During the tea ceremony earlier, the members of the Shao family were secretly observing and assessing her, so why wouldn’t she do the same?
And of course, the mother-in-law was the most important person to observe.
Based on Qiao Xuan’s judgment, her mother-in-law was generally a good person. This was great because it provided her with more room to maneuver.
“Mother…” Qiao Xuan caught up to Fang with a smile on her face, behaving obediently and appropriately, “Please teach me what I need to do. I don’t know anything, so I will rely on you in the future.”
“Oh…” Fang immediately smiled and looked kindly at Qiao Xuan. She said, “No need, no need. All you need to do is take care of your husband in the future and let him focus on his studies. You don’t have to worry about anything in this family!”
This is the daughter of the county magistrate after all. It’s normal for her not to do any work. Besides, there are people in the house to do all the chores, so she doesn’t need to do them.
Qiao Xuan was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but find it amusing. It turns out that she has grabbed several good cards in her hand!
She insisted a few more times, showing a diligent and eager attitude, which delighted Fang even more. She firmly told Qiao Xuan to take a break!
Qiao Xuan repeatedly declined, but eventually gave in.
