Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 859 - 859: Waiting

To ensure the success of their plan, the second section of the family spared no expense. They had two plump chickens slaughtered, braised two fish, and procured a variety of meat. They even had Shao Silang bring tofu, yubas, and dried tofu from the Yan Family the day before.

Ms. Yan, unaware of the scheme, interpreted her mother-in-law’s generous gesture of inviting the first and third sections of the family for dinner as a sign that they had reconsidered and accepted the marriage. Thus, she actively offered her assistance.

Only Ms. Zhangs eyes gleamed with excitement, as if her heart was leaping with anticipation. She couldn’t wait to witness the spectacle unfold.

Yu Xiaomiao arrived at 10 in the morning, and Ms. Niu, along with Second Uncle, who still believed he was on their side, greeted him joyfully.

Second Uncle pulled him aside, speaking in a hushed and smiling voice. “You need to pretend to be drunk, but not actually drunk. I’ll have the brothers

guide you to the wing-room. Once the girl is there, you know what to do. Just remember not to go overboard!”

It was all part of the show, not a genuine move.

Taotao would be defenseless if she ended up in the same room as Yu Xiaomiao. Second Uncle certainly didn’t want Yu Xiaomiao to make any real advances towards Taotao under his roof. It wouldn’t bode well for his reputation.

Yu Xiaomiao chuckled inwardly, then turned to his future father-in-law, nodding earnestly.

But he couldn’t help but wonder who would be accompanying him in the room.

Ms. Niu instructed her two daughters-in-law to prepare two tables filled with delicious food and gathered the entire family together.

Yang Xiaoni openly praised Ms. Niu for her generosity, which made Ms. Niu feel uneasy. Generous? She was coerced into this. She had no desire to do any of it.

Shao Liulang was absent. Third Uncle claimed he was too busy studying and couldn’t join for lunch.

Nis. Niu and Second Uncle had invited so many people with the intention of creating chaos, making it easier to execute their plan. They also wanted witnesses to avoid any potential denials. Shao Liulangs absence didn’t concern them.

Eldest Uncle expressed great concern for Shao Liulang, saying emotionally, “Liulang is working so hard now. Please take care of him and make sure he doesn’t overexert himself.’

Ms. Ma sighed, feeling worried. She refrained from boasting about her son as she had done before,

Third Uncle beamed with pride. “Liulang must have thought it through. I’m confident he’ll make it next year. He’s ambitious and he promises us a future filled with happiness as he pursues his path to becoming an official.”

The table was set with various dishes, and Shao Xiaozhi, Taotao, and Ms. Zhang enjoyed their meal in the kitchen with Shao Meiling, while the rest of the family gathered around the table in the hall.

The table was filled with an abundance of dishes, and two jars of wine were prepared.

Second Uncle opened the wine and invited everyone to join in the drinking.

Ms. Fang discreetly glanced at Ms. Niu, who was far from stingy when it came to pouring the wine. She encouraged everyone to drink as much as they could.

Ms. Fang cursed inwardly.

That woman only showed generosity when she had ulterior motives. If given the chance, she would give her a thorough scolding…

Yu Xiaomiao appeared to be heavily intoxicated as he reached the halfway mark.

His face had turned red, and it was evident that he was truly drunk..
