Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

72 Irritation

Yang Liang forced out a word. “Of course not!”

“Then, just make a decision about her marriage!”

Yang Liang was staggering. “I… we are trying to find a suitor for her, aren’t we?”

“Oh, yes?” Third Grandma Yang sneered. “Shao Dakun’s family offers you 20 liang but you still don’t think that is enough? What kind of family do you plan to find?”

Ms. Tian said, “The Shao Family is so rich. If they want to set up the marriage, they need to offer more than 20 liang! They are looking down at us. We can’t marry her to the Shao Family!”

“So, you find someone better?”

The Land Officer said, “The Shao Family has a lot of money but the money is at their disposal. 20 liang is well over the standard for a village wedding!”

Ms. Tian immediately responded. “We are seeking a good suitor for her all the time!”

“Nonsense!” Third Grandma Yang was terribly annoyed by the shameless words spoken by Ms. Tian.

Ms. Fang and Qiao Xuan had gone to their home for help. Moreover, Ms. Fang gave her the money which was enough for buying at least 300 kgs of rice!

That pleased her a great deal.

Ms. Fang had even suggested that she was going to offer more money if the marriage worked out well.

Third Grandma Yang had naturally agreed to help.

She felt sorry for Yang Xiaoni, but she was not part of the family so she could not say something rashly. Also, Ms. Tian was a very fierce woman and no one would dare to irritate her for no reason.

But things were different at the moment. Yang Xiaoni came to ask her for help in tears, and she, as the elderly woman in the village, could not just push away the girl under such circumstances.

That was why she decided to get involved.

Ms. Tian had managed to irritate the whole village, and this was the best time to do something about it.

Third Grandma Yang said coldly, “I will tell you this today – Xiaoni is a poor girl and she is asking me for help, so I will not leave her alone. If you are not satisfied by the Shao Family’s proposal, you need to find someone better than the Shao Family quickly. Xiaoni is no longer young and she can’t wait! You have to settle this marriage for her within one month. Yang Liang, you better bear in mind that Yang Xiaoni is your sister! Ms. Tian, we can’t allow this thing to spread outside our village. If you continue to cause trouble, you better go to the ancestral hall and get your mind cleared!”

The other chiefs nodded in agreement.

Everyone was looking at Ms. Tian with disgust.

The reputation of the Yang Family could not be ruined because of this woman.

Ms. Tian was very annoyed as she glared back at Yang Xiaoni. “We are a poor family and we have no parents who defend us! You all are bullying me and we have nowhere to express ourselves!”

Third Grandma Yang got so annoyed that she glared at Ms. Tian.

This woman was very tricky and annoying. What she said could just make anyone hearing her words get irritated.

Third Grandma Yang got very annoyed. She was a respected elderly woman who had never been countered by anybody younger like this. She would not allow this woman to oppose her publicly.

If she retreated now, she would be humiliated as well!

So, Third Grandma Yang stuck to her suggestion and the Land Officer, as well as the chiefs, all took her side and held a grudge against Ms. Tian. No matter how Ms. Tian tried to turn the truth upside down, Yang Xiaoni’s marriage would most likely be settled in the way as Third Grandma Yang had suggested.

It had to be settled in one month’s time!

If they did not like the Shao Family, the couple needed to find someone who exceeded the Shao Family in some way!
