Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

“Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law are so incapable. I would never have gotten such a huge house in the province!” Qiao Wei exclaimed.

Qiao Xuan smiled and replied, “It’s all thanks to the support and opportunities given by the Yuezheng Family. We are truly fortunate.”

“This is such a great place. We will stay here for a few days and learn about the world!” Madame Qiao added with excitement.

The family chit-chatted and explored their surroundings, growing more fascinated by the minute.

Shao Junyan and Shao Qing, initially reserved, gradually loosened up and began to have fun in the garden, watching the fish in the pond from the railing.

Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni were equally amazed and delighted by the mansion.

In the evening, Shao Yunduan arranged for a table of dishes to be delivered from a nearby restaurant. The whole family enjoyed a delicious meal together, engaging in lively conversation about their plans for sightseeing and entertainment. The atmosphere was joyful and animated.

Upon their arrival, Qiao Xuan wasted no time and immediately sent a letter to First Madame to inform her of their presence in the province.

The following morning, Qiao Xuan took the girls of the family and visited First Madame.

First Madame was overjoyed to see them all. She warmly welcomed them and made sure they felt comfortable.

During the visit, First Madame arranged for the girls to meet Madame Yuezheng. They exchanged pleasantries and had a pleasant conversation before returning to their respective residences.

In the past, First Madame had refrained from introducing Qiao Xuan to Madame Yuezheng, considering the scandal involving Ms. Mi Junior and her daughter. Madame Yuezheng had declined Qiao Xuan’s visit at that time,

But circumstances had changed. With Shao Yunduan’s status as a Provincial Champion, Madame Yuezheng had to receive his mother and wife with respect.

Therefore, Madame Yuezheng not only treated them with politeness but also prepared valuable gifts for the children.

Even Ms. Mi Junior dared not mock Ms. Fang in this new situation.

Unaware of Ms. Mi Junior and Madame Yuezheng’s previous attitudes towards Qiao Xuan, Ms.Fang believed that their friendly behavior was genuine. She praised the Yuezheng Family for their impeccable manners, in stark contrast to the Zhao Family.

Deep in thought, Qiao Xuan pondered the ancient belief that education and social status were highly valued. Having knowledge and a respectable name allowed one to escape being treated as low-class in society. Many people, driven by the benefits of achieving a higher rank, dedicated themselves to studying and obtaining such positions.

Upon returning to First Madame’s residence, First Madame greeted them with a warm smile. “Ms. Fang, nieces, and nephews, please make yourselves at home. Don’t feel restrained. I want you to know that I truly cherish Xuan. I have always regarded her as my own daughter. Let’s strive to foster a harmonious relationship and be at ease with one another.”

Everyone felt at ease and smiled, relieved by the welcoming atmosphere.

First Madame’s straightforward personality resonated well with Ms. Fang, who was known for her open-mindedness. They engaged in pleasant and cheerful conversations, creating a more relaxed atmosphere compared to their time at Madame Yuezhengs residence.

Qiao Xuan and her family stayed for lunch before bidding farewell to First Madame. However, First Madame extended an invitation for them to spend the upcoming Double Ninth Day together. She mentioned arranging wagons for them to enjoy a half-day trip in the mountains. Delighted, Ms. Fang smiled and accepted the invitation.

Upon returning to their own house, First Madame sent a few individuals to deliver food and essential items. She reassured them that they could always seek assistance from her, emphasizing that it was preferable to obtain supplies from them rather than purchasing them in the market.

Grateful for the kind gesture, Ms. Fang expressed her appreciation and accepted the offer.

In the afternoon, Yuezheng Xiao eagerly joined in the task of unpacking and organizing, excitedly handling the snow fungus, lipsticks, and dried cassavas..
