Shao Meiling seemed to be better off compared to the other girls, so why would they reject the marriage proposal? Despite her unpleasant personality, if she behaved well after getting married, everything would be fine. If she dared to act out, she would be dealt with accordingly.
Ms. Yan wasn’t pleased with Ms. Zhangs presence. She believed Shao Meilings claim that if her sister-in-law truly wanted to break off the engagement, she would have done so before Ms. Zhang returned. Clearly, something had transpired between them. To avoid Ms. Zhang, Ms. Yan decided to live separately from the rest of the family after the New Year and the Lantern Festival.
Although the relationship between the two families had undergone a significant change, Ms. Yan continued to visit the first section of the family daily, and they treated her with equal respect.
Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang suspected that Ms. Zhang was responsible for the situation. It was not surprising that she harbored resentment and might try to manipulate the first section of the family. Qiao Xuan even cautioned Ms. Yan to be vigilant and avoid being framed by Ms. Zhang, as she appeared to be quite unstable.
Ms. Yan was grateful for Qiao Xuan’s warning and sighed with a bitter smile, contemplating the possibility of living separately. Qiao Xuan glanced at her with surprise and couldn’t help but admire her resilience.
Ms. Yan shook her head and chuckled. “It could be very difficult. You know what your in-laws are like. They suspect Nis. Zhang, and they won’t agree with your proposal.”
Initially, Ms. Yan had been filled with anger and tried to convince herself that it was necessary. However, at this point, she was no longer so sure.
She understood how challenging it was to deal with her in-laws. If they disapproved of the proposal, there would be little she could do about it.
“Fifth Sister-in-law, do you have any other suggestions? Please, help me!” she pleaded.
Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment and replied, “Don’t handle it yourself. Ask your parents to intervene, using both firmness and persuasion. Perhaps offering them some benefits could increase the chances of success.” Ms. Niu and Second Uncle were afraid of confrontational individuals but were inclined to take advantage of the more accommodating ones. If the Yan
Family exerted pressure and provided some incentives, Ms. Niu and Second
Uncle might agree to the arrangement, especially considering that Shao Silang was their son and could support them despite the separation.
However, the outcome would depend on what Ms. Yan was willing to offer in return.
Nis. Yan thought for a while and quickly made a firm decision without any hesitation. She expressed her gratitude to Qiao Xuan with a smile.
Offering ten or twenty liang, along with generous ongoing support fees, would be worthwhile. It was a price she was willing to pay for some peace
She had a substantial amount of money now, although she wasn’t particularly eager to part with such a large sum. However, it wouldn’t hurt her too much financially.
With a weight lifted off her mind, Ms. Yan returned home feeling content. However, she was met with a dark stare from Ms. Zhang once again.
A chill ran down Ms. Yan’s spine. She quickly glanced at Ms. Zhang and instinctively moved away, trying to avoid her.
Nis. Zhang sneered, causing Ms. Yan to feel even more unsettled. Her heart raced, and she almost lost her balance.
This woman was truly deranged. She was terrifying!
Driven by Ms. Niu, Ms. Zhang had reached the brink of mental instability.
After Shao Meilings marriage was finally settled, Ms. Niu had no other matters to attend to. Thus, she turned her attention towards Ms. Zhang.
Her gaze was filled with malice, making her intentions clear..
