Chapter 1802 Deliberate
Fan Ruyin and her daughter were very dissatisfied with this. Later they found out that only Shao's family and Le Zheng's family had these fruits, and no one else had them. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to give up.
Lord Shao is not someone they can force by any means, and the Lezheng family is not a family in Anze Prefecture. No matter how powerful the Fan family is, they cannot reach Yuzhang.
Not to mention that the power of the Le Zheng family may not be smaller than that of their Fan family.
Unexpectedly, they didn't go to the provincial government to congratulate, so they couldn't taste this precious and rare fruit!
What’s even more hateful is that Mrs. Shao specially sent two large fruit baskets to each of the Mei and Huo families.
There were two big fruit baskets. I heard they had mangoes, kiwis, bananas, dragon fruits, mangosteens, and even the most precious strawberries that couldn’t be transported long distances! Two big baskets filled to the brim…
He presented it with great fanfare, not saying it was a return gift but saying it was specially given to them to try!
Listen to what she said. Of the three major families, she only sent the new ones to the other two to try, and missed out the Fan family. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Fan family?
Old Mrs. Fan was so angry!
Fan Ruyin cursed even more angrily, saying Qiao Xuan was arrogant and deliberately humiliating people! She deliberately humiliated the Fan family.
Qiao Xuan knew this and said calmly that there wasn't that much fruit left. If there was extra, she could give some to the Fan family. However, if there wasn't enough, she would give priority to the guests and the two of the three families who came to congratulate her! If there were more, she would also give some to the families who didn't have any fruit to entertain during the previous congratulations...
The meaning is clear. If the Fan family celebrates the first day of the month, then she will celebrate the fifteenth. It's fair!
These words were vaguely passed on to Mrs. Fan and her daughter, which made them even more angry...
"…It was clearly Lord Shao who abused his power for personal gain and openly humiliated and bullied our Fan family first. We fought back and protested, but they blamed us and made it seem like we were the ones causing the trouble! It's true that officials have two mouths and they can do whatever they want! Mother, our family must not retreat this time, let alone admit defeat, otherwise, will there be any place for our family in Anze Prefecture!"
Fan Ruyin was extremely angry. She was a very respectable person and originally thought that she was different from the others. She thought that if the people in Anzezhou respected and flattered her, then Madam Shao would definitely treat her differently.
But that didn't happen. She had been holding a grudge for a long time and was thinking, "Let's wait and see!"
She didn't know that she was spoiled by nature, and that Old Lady Fan was also a person with a strange temper who loved her and protected her very much. The Fan family was one of the three major families in Anze Prefecture, so who from other small families would dare not obey and flatter her?
The Mei family and the Huo family also knew her temper and usually didn't bother with her. She was a little bit afraid of them and didn't dare to go too far with them.
What she didn't know was that many of the women tolerated her flattery and said to themselves, "Just wait and see. One day someone will take care of her!"
Now, hasn’t the “one day” of “someday” arrived? I wonder how many people are secretly applauding.
Old Lady Fan had no intention of giving in on the issue of taxation. Three million kilograms of dry grain. The market price of grain this year looks good, so that means seven or eight thousand taels of silver!
No one's money comes from the wind. No one would be happy to hand over seven or eight thousand taels for no reason.
