Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1055: A Mistake

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Suppressing her anger, Ms. Fang maintained a pleasant demeanor in front of the matchmaker. Taotao had to rely on the matchmaker to find a suitable match, so she couldn’t afford to offend her. Who knew what the matchmaker might say otherwise?

Initially, the matchmaker was perplexed about how the Sun family could arrange a marriage with the highly recommended Shao family—they might even become relatives of an Advanced Scholar in the future. She had approached the situation with skepticism.

Upon hearing Ms. Fang’s words, the matchmaker breathed a sigh of relief and left without saying anything further.

She wasn’t foolish and could discern that Ms. Fang was suppressing her anger.

The Sun family, truly…

This was the first encounter between the matchmaker and the Sun family, so they were taken aback and somewhat enraged. They insisted that they had reached an agreement regarding the marriage, so how could the first section of the family renege on their word?

The matchmaker remained unconvinced and couldn’t help but inquire, “Did Recommended man Shao’s parents genuinely consent to this marriage?”

The wife of the Sun family retorted, “It was Recommended man Shao’s Third Aunt-in-law who personally informed us that her Elder Brother agreed. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have invited you! We can’t back down now! Although our Sun family may not be as prestigious as theirs, we’re not ones to be casually bullied or trifled with!”

The matchmaker understood everything.

Being well-acquainted with all the villages and familiar with the local customs, she couldn’t help but chuckle. “No wonder! You might not be aware, but the first section, second section, and third section of the Shao Family have always had a strained relationship, particularly the second section, who have engaged in many inappropriate actions and severed ties with the first section. I suspect the third section of the family isn’t heeding your wishes. They might be attempting to deceive you…”

The daughter-in-law of the Sun family grew displeased upon hearing this. “But they’re biological brothers. How can you say such things? Isn’t what this brother-in-law’s daughter-in-law said the truth? It doesn’t make sense!”

Observing the tension, the matchmaker pursed her lips and refrained from further comments.

As expected, Mrs. Sun was determined to go to Shaoding Village and confront Eldest Uncle and Ms. Fang. She even rallied some members of the Sun Family to accompany her.

Ms. Fang chose to ignore their actions. Instead, she sought the assistance of the Land Officer and the village elders to mediate the situation with Ms. Ma and uncover the whole truth. Ms. Fang insisted on waiting for Shao Yunduan to return and make the final decision, as per Shao Yunduan’s wishes before his departure. He had made it clear that he wouldn’t consider marrying Taotao until his return.

As Taotao’s mother, Ms. Fang was in the dark about the entire situation. However, Ms. Ma, being Taotao’s aunt, had already made the promise. It simply didn’t make sense!

If Ms. Fang wasn’t present, Eldest Uncle might have given in to Ms. Ma and Third Uncle’s demands. But with Ms. Fang’s presence, he couldn’t side with his wife. Therefore, he decided that they would discuss the matter when Shao Yunduan returned. If Shao Yunduan had no objections, then the marriage would proceed.

However, soon enough, Ms. Fang discovered that epilepsy ran in the Sun Family.

Members of the Sun Family, including Madam Sun’s father-in-law, Madam Sun’s husband, and the intended groom for Taotao, all suffered from this illness. When it flared up, they would convulse on the ground, foaming at the mouth and rolling their eyes. It was a frightening sight.

If Taotao were to marry into the Sun Family, there was a high probability that her son would also inherit this illness. Even if her son escaped it, her grandson would likely be affected. There was no known cure for this condition.

Enraged by this revelation, Ms. Fang scolded Eldest Uncle and dragged him to the third branch, where she slapped Ms. Ma twice. The following day, she arranged for the village representatives to confront Ms. Ma at the Sun Family and bring the truth to light. The wedding arrangements were no longer going to proceed.
