Chapter 1781 Don’t Go If You Don’t Go
"His father, I'm telling you, you are not allowed to interfere in this matter. If you dare to interfere, believe it or not, I can bring people to overturn the table on the day of the banquet."
Ma and Uncle Shao were extremely angry.
Ma started to argue: "...I just said it casually, it's not meaningful, and what I said has no effect on Wu Lang, right? Sister-in-law, you are too narrow-minded and too serious, aren't you? Besides, when Wu Lang passed the exam and our Liu Lang didn't, you guys made a lot of mocking remarks, so why should we bother with you?"
Uncle Shao nodded decisively and agreed: "That's right! We don't care, why should you care!"
Fang sneered: "Don't throw dirty water on us, it's not true! I remember clearly that my Yunduan passed the imperial examination, but you guys keep saying that he was just lucky, but in fact he is far worse than your Liulang!"
Thinking of this, Fang couldn't help but get angry: "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite! Don't think that you dare to do anything to me just because Liu Lang passed the imperial examination. My Yun Duan is a prefect after all. You guys, it's too early!"
Uncle Shao said angrily, "Okay, okay, I finally understand. You are just jealous! What do you call this? This is called being angry out of shame! Humph! We are trying to get close to you with good intentions. This is to give you a chance. Since you are not happy about it, forget it! When our Liu Lang becomes successful in the future, don't even think about asking him for help."
"Really? Do you think our family can't afford to hold a banquet? Not only must we hold it, but we must also hold it with great fanfare!"
"That's right! If you guys are like that, then don't go to the banquet."
Ma felt that she couldn't bear to let the first wife attend the banquet she hosted.
"That's fine," Fang said with a smile, "I really don't want that! Then I won't go. If you don't come, apologize politely before inviting me. No one in our family will go."
Uncle Shao and Ma became even angrier and snorted heavily.
Still want them to apologize? This sister-in-law is really dreaming.
Yang Xiaoni couldn't help but ask, "Mom, if we don't go to this banquet, do we not have to give gifts?"
Fang looked at Yang Xiaoni approvingly. She was honest, indeed, and simple-minded, but sometimes she could say things very well.
"Of course! I won't give you even a copper coin!"
Yang Xiaoni said with a smile: "Oh, I asked a stupid question, that's right, that's right, this is the right way!"
Uncle Shao and Ma were choked and looked at each other, becoming anxious all of a sudden.
No matter how thick-skinned Ma was, he couldn't say anything to contradict himself.
No gift money? How can that be done? Everyone knows that the eldest wife is rich and powerful, and they are such close relatives, so not only should we give money, but we should also give more.
The two men's arrogance suddenly diminished. They didn't even dare to say anything tough and walked away in disgrace.
Shao Liulang had been very busy these days, visiting people here and there, attending banquets here and there. When he finally finished his work and returned to the village, he heard some nonsense and became furious. In a rage, he scolded both Shao Sanshu and Ma severely.
Now that he has passed the imperial examination, he has realized something more. He knows very well that at least before he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, at least before he has established a firm foothold in the capital, he cannot offend Shao Yunduan and must create a good relationship with Shao Yunduan.
Officialdom is all about relationships and connections, and the protection of officials. Even though Shao Yunduan was driven out of the capital, he must still have connections in the capital.
