Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

The Yan Family had finally married off their daughter. When she visited her family, the Yan Family looked forward to seeing her again.

Her mother swept her into her arms, crying and touching her face. “You have lost weight!”

Ms. Yan’s father, however, got really pleased seeing them come home with so many presents.

He patted Shao Silang’s shoulders, smiling. “You are just too polite. We are a family and you don’t have to give us so many presents. But I am still glad that you have many gifts with you today. It means that you think my daughter is important. What matters above all is that you live a great life! You don’t have to bring so many presents next time, remember?”

The two sons of the Yan Family all nodded in agreement, smiling brightly.

Shao Silang smiled back, wiping the sweat drops on his forehead.

It was all because his wife fixed it for him. She bought the presents with her own money so that he would not be humiliated or scolded by his father-in-law and brothers -in-law.

Shao Silang now was completely subdued by his wife. His wife treated him so well…

The three men of the Yan Family were talking with Shao Silang whilst Ms. Yan and her mother exchanged a few private words.

Hearing that Ms. Yan was living a good life at the Shao Family, everyone smiled. The family had prepared a delicious lunch for them, including stewed chicken, stewed mutton, and pork belly with tofu. They even bought some braised fish from the restaurant and opened a jar of vintage wine just to receive their son-in-law.

Shao Silang felt so glad. He had never been treated so well by anyone before. He almost cheered loud in happiness, when he realized that the dishes were prepared for him only!

During lunchtime, the Yan Family kept telling him to treat Ms. Yan well. Shao Silang clapped his chest, making many promises.

His wife treated him so well, and he was definitely going to treat her well, too!

On their way home, the Yan Family gave them abundant presents as well, including two ducks, four pieces of smoked meat, four strings of smoked sausage, two bags of peanut candies, sesame candies, as well as two roasted chicken from the town. Ms. Yan loved roasted chickens and they had been bought especially for her.

Since they were into the tofu business, they had prepared two stacks of tofu for them to take home as well.

It was tender and snow-white tofu with gauze on the top, carefully placed in each grid, easy for them to carry home.

The Yan Family used the best beans to make the tofu and they had a reputation in the territory. Many tofu stores and restaurants ordered their tofu from them.

The Yan Family saw the couple off at the entrance of the village. Ms. Yan’s mother almost cried seeing her daughter leaving, which also drove Ms. Yan to shed tears as well. They were not separated until a long while later.

Shao Silang felt so stressed. He wiped his sweat and said, “Mother-in-law treats you so well!”

Ms. Yan smiled. “They all treat me well. I feel very unhappy to leave them…’

Shao Silang smiled. “But we don’t live so far apart. You can come back whenever you want, to visit them.”

Ms. Yan smiled and said nothing back.

She would not be able to come back whenever she wanted, since she was already married.

Ms. Niu was really glad to see so many things brought back. She kept asking Ms. Yan. “Are you tired? Why don’t you take a break?” Then, she asked Shao Meiling to pour tea for her..
