Chapter 43 A gentle look flashed across Shao Yunduan's eyes
As long as Qiao Xuan takes the initiative to express it, the matter will be resolved.
But Qiao Xuan remained indifferent.
Uncle Shao was secretly disappointed and sighed, "A harmonious family brings prosperity. Isn't it good for the whole family to be harmonious and happy? Why bother with each other? The second and third wives have a hard time, so how can they give us anything? If they can give, they certainly won't be stingy."
"My third brother and his wife have always said that Liu Lang is smart and good at studying. He will definitely have a bright future. When the time comes, he will definitely be filial to us and help our eldest wife!"
Qiao Xuan subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Shao Yunduan. Shao Yunduan had a calm expression on his face, without even raising his eyebrows.
As if noticing her gaze, Chao Yunduan raised his head and looked towards her.
When their eyes met, Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned. She smiled at him, then quickly looked away in panic.
Shao Yunduan's heartbeat quickened, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of gentleness flashed across his eyes.
Fang's reaction was very intense. She said angrily, "I want him to be filial? Don't I have a son? My son Duan'er is much better at studying than him. He has already passed the imperial examination and will definitely be more successful than him in the future. Who cares about him?"
Uncle Shao frowned: "What are you talking about? It's good for Duan'er to be successful, but isn't it good for Liu Lang to be successful too? It's a good thing that my third brother and his wife are thoughtful!"
Qiao Xuan couldn't listen any longer and stood up: "Ahem, Dad, Mom, I'm a little tired today, I'm leaving first."
Without waiting for Uncle Shao to speak, Fang suppressed her anger and nodded, saying gently, "Go, Duan'er, you should go back and rest too."
Shao Yunduan nodded in response, then left with Qiao Xuan.
"Dad is just like that. He is used to the eldest brother being like a father. He has been worrying about the second and third wives all these years. Just pretend you didn't hear those unpleasant words. Don't take it to heart."
Qiao Xuan glanced at Shao Yunduan and smiled: "I won't take it to heart, I'll listen to my mother!"
Shao Yunduan was amused by her words and nodded: "Okay."
Qiao Xuan had no idea what Uncle Shao and Mrs. Fang said or did later that night, nor did she care.
Anyway, it’s enough that her father-in-law is too embarrassed to directly interfere with her dowry.
As for his explicit and implicit condemnations and looks of disapproval, she pretended not to see them all.
It's impossible to make her "see what's good for her"!
The next morning, Fang told Qiao Xuan hesitantly that the children from the second and third rooms wanted to eat noodles, so she wanted to give them a few kilograms of flour.
"My dear, I know you've been wronged. Before your grandparents passed away, they repeatedly told your father-in-law to take care of the second and third wives, but he - well, he went too far, but I'm used to it. It's all because of those two families! I don't know what I said to your father-in-law yesterday, he was sighing all night."
Fang was very happy that she had successfully stopped Uncle Shao from devoting all his energy to the second and third wives.
But Uncle Shao didn't sleep well last night because he felt guilty, and she felt a little distressed.
Qiao Xuan understood as soon as she heard it. It's not that she was reluctant to part with a few kilograms of flour, but she also understood that her father-in-law was very old and had been doing this all his life. How could it be easy to get him to change all of a sudden?
She is already very satisfied with the current results.
After this incident, I think the second and third wives have realized that it’s not so easy to take advantage of them.
Of course, they will understand better later.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Mother is very thoughtful. So let it be! For matters like this, mother will make the decision. Why do you need to tell me?"
