Chapter 1717: Complacency
Seeing that her two sisters-in-law were almost unable to stand after being scolded by her mother, Fan Ruyin choked up and said, "Mother, it has nothing to do with the two sisters-in-law. It's all because of Madam Shao who bullied us!"
Fan Ruyin had her own plans in mind. She felt that her two sisters-in-law had been scolded enough by their mother, and if she spoke up to speak well of them, they would surely be grateful to her.
It was as if the two of them owed me a favor.
She has always thought and done this, and was complacent about it, thinking that her idea was really good.
But she didn't realize that if it weren't for her, her two sisters-in-law wouldn't have to suffer this unexpected disaster.
They were clearly being wronged, and she could have made it clear with just one sentence, but she just didn't say it!
I have to watch the fun from the sidelines and see them being scolded before I say anything.
The two sisters-in-law had long hated her to the core.
After hearing what Fan Ruyin said, Mrs. Fan's expression improved slightly, but she still snorted: "You don't have to plead for them. Since they were there, how can it have nothing to do with them? When Madam Shao bullied others, they just watched from the sidelines?"
"You speak for them, but they may not remember your kindness!"
The two Mrs. Fan were so angry that they almost vomited blood!
Fortunately, Mrs. Fan had scolded enough, so she stopped after a few more naggings and asked Qiao Xuan how she bullied others.
Fan Ruyin felt aggrieved again.
She didn't say that she was the first to mock, but she said that the maid of the Shao family was humiliating, and her words implicitly mocked her for being ignorant and the Fan family for being incompetent...
Old Madam Fan was furious. She was set to have a grudge with Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.
"Let them be proud for now. The issue of the seeds is still unclear. Ha, I want to see what they can do!"
Just when everyone was staring at how the provincial government would resolve the seed issue, Le Zhengxiao and his party had already quietly split up and entered Anze Prefecture.
When Shao Yunduan ordered Jia Heming to find two reliable clerks to store the seeds together and then draft an official document to be distributed to all towns to ask them to prepare for receiving the seeds for spring farming, Jia Heming was stunned for a long time as if in a dream before he came to his senses!
"Sir, this, this——"
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "The first batch of seeds has arrived. The second and third batches will arrive in the next two or three days. You will arrange how to distribute the seeds as quickly as possible. We must not delay the spring ploughing."
"Yes, sir!"
Jia Heming was overjoyed and rushed out to arrange this matter.
Shao Yunduan smiled and turned back to the East Courtyard.
Song Shigang went to the house where Zheng Sangge and his family lived and picked up Le Zhengxiao.
Le Zhengxiao was very happy to see Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan. When he heard that Qiao Xuan was pregnant, he congratulated her even more!
The three of them had not seen each other for a long time, so they felt particularly cordial when they met at this time, and had endless things to say to each other after meeting again.
Le Zhengxiao smiled and greeted Qiao Xuan on behalf of his mother. Madam Le Zheng also had a gift that she specially asked him to bring to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan thought of the man who treated her sincerely and taught her many social skills that were useful in this era. Her heart warmed and a smile appeared on her lips. She asked about Madam Le Zheng's recent situation.
She hadn't seen her for a long time and she missed her very much.
After exchanging pleasantries and reminiscing about the past for a while, the sky gradually grew hazy and dusk fell. Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan simply asked Le Zhengxiao to stay for dinner and stayed in the east courtyard of the provincial government office.
Since Le Zhengxiao is here, he will naturally stay here for a few more days and have fun in various places.
