“What do you mean by right or wrong? Do you think your daughter-in-law can argue with her mother-in-law? Look at other families, the mother-in-law is always right! Find a daughter-in-law for Second Brother and get him married, or I will make Ms. Yan furious!”

Second Uncle shot her a stern look and snapped, “Shut up! You’re the one who talks too much! Ms. Yan did nothing wrong, so why are you scolding her? I’ve told you that the Yan Family is not to be messed with!”

Ms. Niu remained unconvinced. “So what if she did something wrong? I am her mother-in-law! So what if I scolded her for no reason? Which daughter-in-law doesn’t feel unjustly treated? Which family doesn’t have conflicts? She’s too spoiled!”

“She’s too delicate!”

“You!”

“Enough! If you ruin Second and Fourth’s relationship, do you think they won’t blame you? Let’s not discuss this further. It costs us money every month. Are you willing to bear that?”

“I…”

Ms. Niu didn’t want to leave, so she didn’t dare to offend Ms. Yan.

“Tell Second Brother that you’re his daughter-in-law! Hurry up and let him know that you’re his daughter-in-law! Otherwise, we can’t go on like this!”

Since then, Ms. Niu held a grudge against Ms. Yan, and Ms. Yan no longer made an effort to please Ms. Niu as before.

Ms. Yan finally understood and couldn’t help but feel disheartened. Some people were simply like that. No matter how well you treated them, they wouldn’t change.

If that was the case, why should she continue trying to please her? As long as her own family was there, this mother-in-law couldn’t do anything to her.

In comparison, people like Elder Aunt were the best. Without a doubt, even if her third sister-in-law did not come from a wealthy family, Aunt still treated her well.

If her third sister-in-law were to become her mother-in-law’s daughter-in-law, she might not fare much better than her own brother and sister-in-law!

When Shao Yunduan returned to the village to pay respects to his ancestors, Ms. Niu and Second Unle, who had given up hope, felt a glimmer of excitement. Second Unle pretended to be drunk and pleaded with Shao Yunduan in front of everyone, hoping to mend their relationship.

Eldest Uncle blushed and looked at Shao Yunduan with pleading eyes.

Shao Yunduan casually responded, “Second Unle is just talking nonsense after having too much to drink. Third Brother, please help him rest. How can we involve the Land Officer, the chief, and the elders in making a decision? What does Second Unle think of our family?”

Eldest Uncle’s face turned even redder.

Shao Sanlang grew irritated. He nodded and instructed two men from their tribe to escort Second Unle away before anything else could be said.

Shao Yunduan smiled at the Land Officer and the others, as if nothing had happened. He continued enjoying the food and drinks, and everyone followed suit with smiles. Soon, the incident was forgotten and put behind them.

Deep down, everyone understood. Mr. Primus was indeed an exceptional scholar. He was steadfast in his principles and had a clear understanding of the situation. It was impossible to threaten him.

It was clear that the fault lay with Mr. Primus. The Shao couple had crossed a line. Even before Mr. Primus’s return, they had spread gossip about him. Their actions were unforgivable.

Now, it was too late for them to seek favor.

Did they really believe that everyone should give in to their demands and let them do as they pleased?

At this point, the second section of the family had lost all hope of reconciling with the first section of the family.

During the banquet, Shao Meiling and her husband, who were already married, also attended to offer their congratulations. The first section of the Shao Family treated them like any other relatives, without any special treatment.
