It was out of the question for Taotao to marry someone afflicted with an illness.
Were the Sun Family taking advantage of the fact that there were no influential figures in Shaoding Village?
The village chief and elders of Shaoding Village were also incensed. They reprimanded Third Uncle Shao and Madam Ma for their disrespect. Taotao was the sister of High Scholar Shao, and she might even be the sister of an Advanced Scholar Shao. How could she be married off to such a person?
This was a direct insult to her Fifth Brother!
As Taotaoâs biological sister, what kind of esteemed family could she be married into?
The Sun Family was undoubtedly in the wrong. Moreover, the marriage had never been finalized; it was merely mentioned informally. If the Shao Family was unwilling, then it wouldnât happen. No one could argue otherwise.
The Sun family displayed great arrogance. Madam Sun even shouted, âThereâs nothing wrong with our family. If you break your promise like this, it will tarnish your daughterâs reputation! In the future, if you canât find a suitable family, come back and seek us out. It wonât be so easy then!â
Ms. Fang was infuriated but couldnât help but burst into laughter. âDonât worry, my daughter isnât concerned about getting married. And who are you to question my integrity? Go confront whoever fed you this information! Throughout history, when it comes to marriage, it has been the parents who act as matchmakers. I have never heard of parents being bypassed, only for the neighborâs aunt to have the final say. What a ridiculous notion!â
Ms. Ma interjected, âSister-in-law, you canât say that. Elder Brother has already agreed to it.â
Ms. Fang retorted sharply, âOur families are worlds apart, or do you think Iâm unaware of that? Did you forget about me when Iâm away from home? You may inform your Elder Brother, but why did you hide it from me? I explicitly told you not to mention it again, yet you still came to my house to sow discord. What are you trying to achieve?â
Ms. Fang sneered as she pointed at Ms. Ma and addressed Mrs. Sun, âMy sister-in-law hails from a respected family, and her son is a promising Scholar. He has a bright future ahead of him. If youâre curious about their opinion, why not ask her? If sheâs so content with your family, sheâd likely be willing to marry off her own daughter!â
Ms. Ma was taken aback. âWhat are you talking about? Iââ
âYou donât want to? Heh.â Ms. Fangâs anger flared even higher. âIf youâre unwilling, how dare you claim that youâre acting in Taotaoâs best interest? Our Taotao has a brother whoâs on his way to becoming an Advanced Scholar. Isnât he more suitable than your daughter?â
âYou!â
Ms. Fangâs words ignited a furious response from Ms. Ma!
Mrs. Sunâs eyes gleamed with excitement as she looked at Ms. Ma, feeling a surge of confidence.
She dared not entertain thoughts about the first section of the Shao Family. If Ms. Fang didnât agree, then Recommended man and the Advanced Scholar wouldnât agree either. Moreover, the entire Shaoding Village would rally behind them.
Most importantly, there had been no formal exchange of invitations between their families, and Ms. Fang had never given her consent to this marriage. Taotao wasnât the least bit concerned about her reputation being affected. Mrs. Sun couldnât intimidate her. So what if she refused to give up?
Though she was quite adept at causing trouble, little did she expect that the Fang family would stir up even more trouble! She couldnât emerge victoriousâŠ
However, since Ms. Ma had brought up the topic of marriage, it was only natural for her to seek clarification, right?
Ms. Fang sneered, no longer invested in this matter, and firmly instructed Eldest Uncle to refrain from interfering. He wasnât allowed to mention anything about Taotaoâs marriage ever again.
Eldest Uncle didnât utter a word, but he couldnât shake off his lingering annoyance.
He wasnât foolish, yet he didnât want to view his second and third brothers in an overly negative light. Somehow, he still held onto the belief that they werenât entirely to blame.
