Chapter 1054 Stumped
There were also people from the wealthy family who expressed their intention to marry Fang, but Fang did not dare to agree, for fear that she would be wronged after marrying into the family.
In a family like that, who wouldn’t have a concubine or a maid?
It is possible to find a scholar from an ordinary peasant family, but Fang was still hesitant. Such a family may be respectable, but if she passes the imperial examination in the future, she might be disdained by them.
If he is not good at anything and does not work, but only shows off his knowledge all day long, and relies on his daughter to support him, then his daughter will also feel wronged. What is the point of marrying such a man?
Most businessmen are mercenary and have ulterior motives. Fang cannot figure it out and does not dare to do so.
Therefore, Taotao's marriage has really become a problem.
When Fang expressed her various concerns, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan looked at each other in bewilderment. This was indeed a big problem.
As Taotao is the only daughter in the family, her family members love and care for her very much. Naturally, they all hope that she will marry well and have a smooth life in the second half of her life.
However, marrying off a daughter means that she will live in someone else's home. How can her family not worry?
What Fang didn't tell Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan was that during the time when they left home for Beijing, Taotao's marriage was almost arranged by Uncle Shao.
The couple from the third room had bad intentions, and invited Uncle Shao to dinner, flattering him in every way possible, getting him half drunk, and then began to talk about Taotao's marriage in a roundabout way. Uncle Shao was so happy that they were foolish that he nodded and agreed.
It is about a wealthy family in the village next to Ma's mother's home.
Originally, Ma had coaxed Uncle Shao to exchange the engagement letter before telling Fang. Fortunately, Uncle Shao was not so confused and he told Fang the next day.
He was confident and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say. The other party was from a wealthy family and was a perfect match for Taotao, so what was wrong with that? Besides, how could the third brother's wife and third brother cheat their own family? They introduced her, so there must be no problem!
When Uncle Shao told Fang about this, he even seemed to be showing off a bit: Look how good third brother and his wife are to Taotao and how much they care about her.
Fang never believed them and she was almost scared to death when she heard this!
In a rage, she rushed to the third room to settle the score with Ma, and had a big quarrel with Ma, which made Ma give up. It was not her turn to interfere in her daughter's marriage.
As for the marriage she was talking about, I would absolutely not acknowledge it. If she likes it so much, why not give it to her own daughter!
Fang didn't care about whether the family was wealthy or not. She only knew that Ma was like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. If she said something good, it could not possibly be really a good thing!
Just knowing this was enough for her to make the right judgment.
Originally, this was just a verbal statement to the middleman. No matchmaker came and no engagement letters were exchanged. Since Fang had made her words so clear, the matter should have ended there.
But, it didn’t.
Ma was full of resentment and eager to cause trouble, so she still went to the Sun family and told them that the marriage had been arranged!
The Sun family was so overjoyed that they immediately invited a matchmaker to go to the Shao family's main house to exchange the engagement letter and discuss the marriage. They wanted to bring Taotao home as soon as possible!
When the matchmaker came to her house, Fang was so angry that she asked him to leave, saying that it was all a misunderstanding. What marriage? There was no such thing!
