Chapter 18 I will reason with them
Niu said sarcastically, "My niece-in-law is really clever, she is so good at talking! But as a daughter-in-law, it is better to be honest. Only a virtuous woman like Xu is virtuous! My niece-in-law should learn more from your eldest sister-in-law!"
How could Qiao Xuan take this to heart?
Adhering to the principle of "I am not angry, but the other party is angry", he smiled at Niu and said, "Thank you for your advice, Second Aunt."
Niu choked: “.”
Ma rolled her eyes and shouted, "My niece-in-law, you can't be partial! You gave Taotao a gift, but what about Meiling and Xiaozhi?"
Niu's eyes lit up, and she could continue to find fault! She snorted sarcastically, "That's right, my niece-in-law wouldn't look down on us and never plan to send us off, right?"
Before Qiao Xuan could even speak, Fang retorted, "Of course you don't get any! When Zhang came into the family, didn't she give us any gifts? When did we have such a custom in the countryside?"
Most families in the countryside are poor, so when a new bride marries into the family, it is considered very decent if she prepares a gift for her own family members. Even if she doesn't give any, it's no big deal.
Even if the family is not separated, a gift is still required.
Ma was dissatisfied and grumbled: "How can they be the same? Zhang is poor, and the fifth niece-in-law is the daughter of the county magistrate. How can she be so stingy!"
"That's right!"
Fang sneered: "We are all daughters-in-law of the Shao family, so we should treat each other equally. Stop talking nonsense!"
What the hell are these two greedy people thinking about?
Seeing that Fang was unreasonable, Niu and Ma knew they could not get any benefit from her, so they complained angrily and left with their daughters.
Fang spat lightly: "What the hell is this?"
Shao Taotao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly: "Mother and Fifth Sister-in-law are still amazing!"
"You!" Fang poked her forehead gently: "Be more careful! Learn more from your fifth sister-in-law in the future!"
Shao Taotao smiled and said, "I know, Mom!"
Qiao Xuan also laughed.
Fang added, "Ignore them. They have always been so shameless. If they really dare to come to you in private, just come to me."
"Okay, mother-in-law." Qiao Xuan smiled: "If Second Aunt and Third Aunt come to me, I will definitely talk to them properly."
Fang understood what she meant by "reasoning", and couldn't help but laugh. She nodded with a laugh: "Yes, that's right!"
Fang turned and went to the kitchen, and as she turned around, she saw Xu leaning half of her body behind the corner of the wall.
Xu was startled. She was discovered and couldn't hide any longer, so she came out carefully and forced a smile on her face: "Mom, I, I just came back from the vegetable garden."
But Fang knew where she was hiding and had been listening for an unknown period of time.
She has always been good at hiding. Whenever people from the second and third rooms came to make trouble, she would always avoid them as if it had nothing to do with her and never offered to help herself.
She had a clear account book in her mind! The rule of the eldest house was that if anyone made money, they had to hand over half and keep the other half. Although she and the eldest husband were not very capable, they had saved a little over the years.
She only cares about her and her eldest brother's small family and doesn't care about anything else.
Fang was too lazy to expose her, so she hummed and said calmly, "Wash your hands and feet and come to the kitchen to help."
When Xu saw that her mother-in-law did not scold her, she was relieved and quickly nodded in agreement.
