Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

103 No Step Backwards

She could do whatever she wanted!

What Qiao Xuan did not know was that when Eldest Uncle returned to the room, he had a long chat with Ms. Fang.

Although he did not believe it firmly, he still insisted.

“…They were just here on a visit, why are you treating them as if they are thieves? It will make our name sound bad, and it will hurt us too. We are one family…”

Ms. Fang sneered. “We are not one family! We are living separately! We all have sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren to support. What are they doing here? They keep thinking about getting something from us, whenever they see us bringing something home.”

“Just on a visit? They always return to their home with something or the other. Qi is not yet married, but when he has a wife in the future, and they keep coming to us again and again, his wife is definitely going to be annoyed. No nephews are going to support their uncles and aunts! They can get something from us occasionally, but they come to us every time Qi goes up to the mountain. Bah!”

“Ms. Qiao can buy whatever she wants. Why is it their business? Why must they dig into what she is doing? Must she share with them what she has got? They will always come to you whenever we refuse to give them something. You can share things with them, but leave us alone. If you are not convinced, just ask your son and daughter-in-law, who on earth is willing to share the gains? You can go and ask anyone!”

“Bah, don’t ever say that they have nothing, and will give us something when they have it. Look at Xiaozhi and Meiling! When they eat candies, they don’t share any with Taotao! When they kill roosters for a meal, have they ever shared a bowl of soup with us?”

Eldest Uncle, “…”

He could not come up with any instance when he was offered something by them.

“A rooster is so small! If they have anything spare, they would definitely share it with us…”

Ms. Fang sneered. “What do you mean by small? If they have the heart to share it with us, they would do that whenever they want. They have taken full advantage of us. Now, they should just stop it! Our children are growing up, and we are going to have more daughters-in-law! You are defending your brothers, but if you expect your daughters-in-law to support their uncle and aunts, I don’t think that any of the daughters-in-law would be glad to do so! Are you trying to make sons and daughters-in-law to get separated from you?”

Eldest Uncle was angry. “We are one family, we don’t have to split hairs!”

“You don’t, but what good have we got? Why can’t we split the hairs? We need to share every time! But they share nothing, and think that we owe them something! You can be generous, but leave us alone!”

Having said this, Ms. Fang became even angrier and went to sleep.

She was definitely not going to take a step backwards.

She was strong enough to snap at him. She had her son and daughter-in-law to back her up, and it did not matter if her husband was arguing with her.

Maybe he could just leave the family!

He could check if his brothers would want to keep him and feed him!

The following day, Eldest Uncle was not feeling well, but no one noticed it or spoke with him. That made the old man feel even worse.

He had nowhere to vent his anger either.

So, he skipped breakfast, and left with a shovel on his shoulders.

Shao Dalang was down-to-earth and seemed to have sensed that his father was upset about something.

Ms. Fang sneered and waved her hand. “Just leave him alone!”

He would come to join them for a meal when he was angry.

Or he was going to ask his brothers for food? They would never be that kind to take care of him!

Shao Dalang did not think that it was right, but when he was about to say something more, Ms. Xu blinked at him and stopped him.
