Chapter 1054: Troubled....
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It wasn’t that no one from the affluent family had come forward to reveal their intention of marriage. Therefore, Ms. Fang hesitated to respond, fearing that she might be wrongly accused.
Who in such a family didn’t have a suitor or a potential match?
Although she could find a promising partner from an ordinary farming family, Ms. Fang still had reservations. While the family was respectable, there was a possibility that her daughter might not be pleased with her background when she attended high school in the future.
Furthermore, if the man in question didn’t have a stable job or didn’t achieve success, her daughter would suffer as a result. What would be the point of marrying such a man?
Given that most businessmen were often unscrupulous and driven by impure motives, Ms. Fang couldn’t ascertain their true intentions and was apprehensive…
As a result, Taotao’s marriage became a quandary.
When Ms. Fang voiced her concerns, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan exchanged glances. It was indeed a significant issue.
Being Taotao’s only sister, her family showered her with love and naturally desired for her to have a prosperous and trouble-free life through a good marriage.
However, her maiden family worried about her living under someone else’s roof.
What Ms. Fang hadn’t disclosed to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan was that during the period when they had left home and come to the capital, her eldest uncle had nearly revealed information about Taotao’s prospective marriage.
The couple from the third section had ulterior motives. They had invited her eldest uncle to a dinner and attempted to get him intoxicated. That’s when they broached the topic of Taotao’s family. Eldest Uncle was so elated that he readily agreed.
They were discussing a well-to-do family in the neighboring village of Ms. Ma’s family.
Ms. Ma had requested eldest uncle to alter the invitation before informing Ms. Fang, but eldest uncle wasn’t foolish enough to disclose it to her the next day.
He believed that there was nothing wrong with revealing it. The other party belonged to an affluent family and was an ideal match for Taotao. What could possibly go wrong? Besides, how could his third sister-in-law and brother deceive their family? They had made the introduction, so there surely wouldn’t be any issues!
When Eldest Uncle informed Ms. Fang about the matter, he boasted about it, emphasizing how well Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law treated Taotao and how much they cared for her.
Ms. Fang, who had always been skeptical of them, was startled by these words.
She hurriedly went to the third branch to confront Ms. Ma and they engaged in a heated argument, eventually causing Ms. Ma to back down. She had no right to interfere in her own daughter’s affairs.
Regarding what Ms. Ma was referring to, Eldest Uncle refused to acknowledge it. If Ms. Ma liked it so much, she should just arrange for her own daughter to marry into that family!
Ms. Fang wasn’t concerned about whether the family was rich or not. What she knew was that Ms. Ma had ulterior motives, and whatever she had promised couldn’t be anything good!
As long as she understood this, it was enough for her to make the right judgment.
Eldest Uncle was merely engaging in casual conversation, and there was no involvement of a matchmaker or an exchange of formal invitations. Ms. Fang made her stance clear, and that should have been the end of the matter.
However, that wasn’t the case.
Ms. Ma held a grudge and secretly wished for something unfavorable to happen. Yet, she still went to discuss the marriage with the Sun Family.
The Sun Family was ecstatic and proceeded to invite a matchmaker to the first section of the Shao Family for the exchange of invitations and marriage discussions. They were eager to marry off Taotao as soon as possible!
This greatly infuriated Ms. Fang, and she promptly asked the matchmaker to leave, stating that it was all a misunderstanding. What marriage? Absolutely not!
