Chapter 729 - 729: Ms. Fang’s Annoyance
Although Mrs. Zhang initially did not want to apologize, Mr. Zhang insisted, and she had to oblige.
After all, it was The Zhang Family’s fault for being caught red-handed by Shao Erlang, so an apology was necessary.
Despite her reluctance, Mrs. Zhang kept her objections to herself and agreed to apologize.
When The Zhang Family arrived at Shaoding Village, they went straight to the first section of the Shao Family.
Many guests had already visited to offer their congratulations and kind words. Thus, when the group from Zhang Village arrived, the first section of the Shao Family happened to be free to receive guests.
As the group approached the door, Songshi, who was standing guard, was startled by their size and hurried off to inform the family.
Ms. Fang, Eldest Uncle, and Shao Yunduan all came to greet them, but their expressions darkened upon seeing that the group was from Zhang Village.
The Land Officer and the Elderly Men from Zhang Village offered their congratulations and kind words to Ms. Fang, who responded politely. Eldest Uncle even invited them inside the house.
However, Ms. Fang shouted. “Hang on!” She threw a cold look at Ms.Zhang. “The Zhang Family must not be here. We don’t accept such evil women. She is staining our floor! ”
Ms. Fang had always disliked Ms. Zhang, and after what Ms. Zhang did to her son and got divorced, her resentment grew even stronger. She glared at Shao Yunduan and Shao Xiaoqi, blaming them for meddling in her family affairs and causing her so much trouble. She even wished them a miserable life.
Ms. Fangs grudge against Ms. Zhang remained deep.
Ms. Zhang and The Zhang Family may have regretted their actions, but it was too late to make amends in Ms. Fangs eyes.
Mrs.Zhang was so annoyed. “We are relatives!”
“We have no vicious relatives like you! Ms.Zhang is divorced and you have just accepted the letter. We have nothing to do with you!’
“What? Glaring back at me? What are you thinking? Throwing temper at my place?”
Shao Yunduan added. “Mom is right. The Zhang Family are not ethical people and we have nothing to do with each other any more. They are not accepted to our door. But the others are welcomed inside.’
But…” Mr. Zhang’s expression turned to anger, although he tried to maintain a smile on his face. “Recommended man Shao, we are here to pass on our congratulations with sincerity. My daughter used to be your sister-in-law, and as a scholar, you should understand the importance of proper etiquette!”
“Of course he does!” Ms. Fang sneered. “That’s why we’re not associating with you! Sister-in-law? She is not! If everyone follows your example and comes to my door uninvited, am I supposed to welcome bandits and hooligans as well? This is not proper etiquette, and it’s tarnishing our family’s reputation!”
Qiao Xuan added. “Mom is totally right!’
Yang Xiaoni nodded. “Yes, absolutely right!’
The Land Officer and the others exchanged a look between themselves, feeling quite embarrassed.
They had not expected the conversation to turn this way.
Trying to ease the tension, the Land Officer smiled and spoke up, “Ms. Zhang made a mistake, but even saints make mistakes and learn from them. Perhaps she deserves another chance. She has been doing well in her current home, raising children, respecting her in-laws, taking care of her husband and household duties. She is a diligent person..”
