Chapter 4: First Day of Wedding
The Shao family has three branches in total, and Shao Yunduan belongs to the eldest branch.
Shao Yunduan's grandparents had passed away long ago, so the three brothers of Shao's father had already separated the family business.
Shao Yunduan's father is Shao Dakun and his mother is Fang.
The eldest brother, Shao Yunlian, is the eldest in the third room. His eldest sister-in-law is Ms. Xu. They have a pair of children. Their nephew, Shao Junyan, is six years old this year, and their niece, Shao Qing, is only three years old.
The names of his nephews and nieces were all given by Shao Yunduan. His eldest brother and his wife were very happy and felt that their names were better than those of other children in the village.
Moreover, the names given by scholars are auspicious and a good omen, and may even bring more blessings!
The second brother, Shao Yunguang, is the third child and has not yet married.
Ahem, the reason why Shao Yunduan, who was ranked fifth, got there first was mainly because of the incident of jumping into the water to save someone. He couldn't delay any longer and had to marry the girl quickly to make it look like the real deal.
My fourth brother Shao Yunhuai (seventh) and my younger sister Shao Taotao are twins, just thirteen years old this year.
As for the second room, there is my second uncle Shao Dalou and my second aunt Niu.
The second wife has two sons and one daughter, Shao Yunshan (second) and Shao Yunqiao (fourth). Shao Yunshan married Zhang and has a pair of children, Shao Juan and Shao Xianwen. Shao Yunqiao has not yet married. He is preparing to look for a husband.
My daughter Shao Meiling is fifteen this year.
The third room consists of my third uncle Shao Dashi and my third aunt Ma.
The eldest daughter, Shao Meizhi, is already married, and the youngest daughter, Shao Xiaozhi, is three months younger than Shao Taotao.
His son Shao Yunjiang (the sixth child) is fifteen years old this year, has not yet married, and is also studying in the county town.
At the moment, Qiao Xuan was only meeting people from the eldest branch of the family. The second and third branches would come over in the evening to have a reunion dinner together, and then they would meet everyone.
Fortunately, there weren’t too many people, so Qiao Xuan remembered them all.
The Shao family was curious and nervous about this new daughter-in-law who came from a noble family. They also felt a little ashamed of themselves. Even the father-in-law and mother-in-law were trying to remain calm.
When Qiao Xuan bowed to them politely and called them "Dad!" and "Mom!" with a smile, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief!
Fortunately! Fortunately! The new daughter-in-law is kind.
Shao Yunduan, who knew Qiao Xuan's criminal record, was most relieved - this woman didn't cause any trouble, and even behaved much better than he thought. It seemed that she had really thought it through.
Farmers don't have so many complicated rules. Just offer tea, change your words, and meet each family member one by one, and that's it.
Mother-in-law Fang smiled and said some auspicious words of praise and encouragement, and soon everyone dispersed and went about their business.
Qiao Xuan thought about it, and then decisively followed her mother-in-law Fang.
In this era, it is very important to gain the favor of the mother-in-law.
With the support of the mother-in-law, you can truly gain a foothold in this family. Otherwise, you will inevitably face endless troubles and dire straits.
When she was serving tea just now, the Shao family members were secretly observing and sizing her up. Wasn't she the same?
And the mother-in-law is of course an important person who needs to be observed.
Judging from Qiao Xuan's ability to judge people, her mother-in-law was generally a good person. This was just right, as it gave her more room to develop.
"Mother," Qiao Xuan caught up with Fang in a few steps, smiling and well-behaved, "Mother, please teach me what I need to do. I don't know anything. I'll trouble you in the future."
"Oh my..." Fang smiled brightly, looked at Qiao Xuan kindly and said, "No, no, you just need to take good care of your husband and let him concentrate on his studies. You don't need to worry about the family matters!"
After all, she is the county magistrate's daughter, so it's normal that she can't do housework. Besides, there are people doing the housework, so she is not needed.
She is so sensible and won't cause trouble at home. Fang is so happy that she would never let her do any work.
Qiao Xuan was a little surprised and felt amused. She wondered how many good cards he got in this hand!
She insisted for a few words and showed a very good attitude of being diligent and willing to learn, which made Fang even happier and she firmly told her to take a rest!
Qiao Xuan refused again and again, so she gave up.
I'll write the relationships between the characters clearly at once for your convenience. One, three, five, and seven are the first wives (the male protagonist ranks fifth), two and four are the second wives, and six is the third wife. For the sake of distinction, only the male protagonist will have a name in the text, and his brothers will basically all be called Shao*Lang (*￣3)(ε￣*)
