Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1421: Dream on

Editor: Henyee Translations

He had initially contemplated finding a reason to send Young Master Zhao away, but Ms. Fang interjected, explaining that he was a friend of their fifth son, and she had reservations about the marriage. Since there were no disputes or unpleasant incidents, he chose to let him stay.

In any case, their fifth son was present, and he wouldn’t risk anything that might harm his interests.

After pondering it further, he concurred with the decision, opting not to insist on driving him away. However, he resolved to keep a vigilant eye on Young Master Zhao, both in the open and behind the scenes, concerned that he might engage in something with Taotao.

Unexpectedly, Third Brother and his wife actually took a liking to Young Master Zhao as a potential son-in-law.

What could he possibly say to this?

Third Uncle grew irritated with him. “Elder Brother, you’re not going to help with such a minor matter? I’m not asking for much; I just want you to extend an invitation to him at my home. I’ll handle the rest! Xiaozhi is such a fine young lady and is destined to be the spouse of an official. She’s already in that position. Besides, he comes from a prosperous family; why would he dislike us?”

“Third Brother…” Eldest Uncle sighed. “The Zhao Family is quite distant, and you’re willing to go that far?”

“Why hesitate? As long as there’s money—no, as long as the individual is suitable, why not? Besides, we don’t have much to do here. Isn’t it good to explore Jiangnan and broaden our horizons?”

Eldest Uncle…

He had hoped that Third Brother would back down, but it was apparent that he was deluding himself.

“Third Brother, you see, Young Master Zhao has a very refined taste. I’m concerned he might not be interested in marrying someone from our rural area…”

“Nevertheless, Xiaozhi is not just from an ordinary family; she’s an official’s spouse! Elder Brother, please help, regardless of your concerns!”

“Indeed,” Ms. Ma chimed in, unable to hold back. “You’re not Young Master Zhao; how can you be certain he’s unwilling?”

“Hmph, could it be that Elder Brother has taken a liking to him as a son-in-law?”

“What nonsense are you saying? That’s not the case!”

“Then, please help us!”

“Very well. Elder Brother, remember that!”

The persistent couple made it impossible for Eldest Uncle to escape. Annoyed, he reluctantly agreed.

Zhao Shu couldn’t fathom his uncle’s behavior. Why was he insisting on making him dine in the third section?

Being Taotao’s biological father, he felt compelled to seek his aunt’s advice.

Ms. Fang expressed her exasperation, sneering, “Those two were never trustworthy to begin with. What are they up to now? If they are genuinely sincere, let them go ahead! I don’t believe they can achieve anything in my presence!”

Zhao Shu chuckled, “Since you put it that way, I’ll go and see. Auntie, don’t let this bother you. It’s not worth it!”

Ms. Fang smiled, “Well, I’m just giving them a hard time and letting you laugh at me!”

“No, no, it’s their fault entirely. You’re not to blame, Auntie!”

“Haha, you’re quite the smooth talker!”

“Hehe, it’s the truth. Everyone appreciates honesty!”

“Hahahaha!”

Thus, Zhao Shu brought along the servant boy Tongshun.

The couple from the third section of the family couldn’t contain their joy, their smiles reaching from ear to ear. They welcomed him eagerly, as though Zhao Shu had already become their son-in-law.

Shao Liulang was absent; he preferred spending his time reading in the library.

Qiao Xuan had created a modern-looking library, complete with bookshelves, tables, chairs, and all the necessary amenities.
