Qiao Xuan listened with a smirk, feeling proud of her own achievements.
The seventh brother in the family, Shao Yunhuai, was the most lively and agile. Whenever he had free time, he liked to wander around the mountains and valleys, often returning home with game such as pheasants, birds, and rabbits. Seeing the yellow loquats, he couldn’t resist climbing up the tree and picking a basketful for everyone to eat.
“These loquats seem sweeter than previous years! The flesh is also more tender!” Shao Yunguang praised as he grabbed a handful and stuffed them in his pocket.
His mother, Fang Shi, glared at him. “Stop talking nonsense. Do you remember what they tasted like last year?”
Shao Taotao pursed her lips and smiled. “Mother, others might not remember, but in terms of taste, Third Brother definitely remembers! He never gets it wrong!”
Shao Yunguang was a glutton, unreasonably enthusiastic about food. Once, he was chased by wild bees while trying to obtain honeycomb larvae, and he refused to leave without it, resulting in the entire village laughing at him for half a month.
Hearing Shao Taotao’s words, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
After eating the loquats, everyone went to work. Fang Shi called Shao Yunduan, her husband and eldest son, and scolded him. “Where are you going? There is enough work in the fields with your father and older brother. You should stay and keep your wife company. She just entered our family, don’t neglect her!”
Then, Fang Shi turned to Qiao Xuan with kindness. “Qiao Shi, your husband is very kind-hearted, but men are often careless. If you encounter any grievances, tell me, I will handle it.”
Qiao Xuan immediately smiled. “Mother, my husband is not only kind-hearted but also very attentive! Please rest assured, I won’t suffer any grievances. Having such a good mother-in-law and husband is my blessing!”
Even if she had never experienced it before, a daughter-in-law couldn’t say that about her mother-in-law. Qiao Xuan felt that she was very clever!
Sure enough, Fang Shi showered her with compliments, making Qiao Xuan laugh. “You are too kind, Mother-in-law. I am not worthy of such praise.”
“No, no, you are very good!”
“Yes, I will definitely learn from you and be a good daughter-in-law to the Shao family!”
“Good, good! Hahaha!”
Shao Yunduan: “……”
Shao Yunduan looked dumbfounded watching the affectionate interaction between his mother and sister-in-law!
Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?
Can someone please explain what is going on!
His mother was not particularly satisfied with his wife. Behind her back, she often complained that his wife was uncommunicative, full of tricks, and selfish. She disliked the girl that his third brother was interested in, believing that her son was already foolish and it would be even worse to marry someone who was even more foolish. Moreover, the girl had lost her parents and had to deal with a greedy and difficult pair of in-laws…
But why did things turn out like this when they reached him! The situation was completely different!
