Chapter 1056: Stone on the Feet

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 Taotao’s 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 wouldn’t happen. No one could argue otherwise.

The Sun family displayed great arrogance. Madam Sun even shouted, “There’s nothing wrong with our family. If you break your promise like this, it will tarnish your daughter’s reputation! In the future, if you can’t find a suitable family, come back and seek us out. It won’t be so easy then!”

Ms. Fang was infuriated but couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Don’t worry, my daughter isn’t 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 bypa.s.sed, only for the neighbor’s aunt to have the final say. What a ridiculous notion!”

Ms. Ma interjected, “Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. Elder Brother has already agreed to it.”

Ms. Fang retorted sharply, “Our families are worlds apart, or do you think I’m unaware of that? Did you forget about me when I’m 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?”

Ms. Fang sneered as she pointed at Ms. Ma and addressed Mrs. Sun, “My sister-in-law hails from a respected family, and her son is a promising Scholar. He has a bright future ahead of him. If you’re curious about their opinion, why not ask her? If she’s so content with your family, she’d likely be willing to marry off her own daughter!”

Ms. Ma was taken aback. “What are you talking about? I—”

“You don’t want to? Heh.” Ms. Fang’s anger flared even higher. “If you’re unwilling, how dare you claim that you’re acting in Taotao’s best interest? Our Taotao has a brother who’s on his way to becoming an Advanced Scholar. Isn’t he more suitable than your daughter?”

“You!”

Ms. Fang’s words ignited a furious response from Ms. Ma!

Mrs. Sun’s 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 didn’t agree, then Recommended man and the Advanced Scholar wouldn’t 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 wasn’t the least bit concerned about her reputation being affected. Mrs. Sun couldn’t 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 couldn’t emerge victorious…

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 wasn’t allowed to mention anything about Taotao’s marriage ever again.

Eldest Uncle didn’t utter a word, but he couldn’t shake off his lingering annoyance.

He wasn’t foolish, yet he didn’t want to view his second and third brothers in an overly negative light. Somehow, he still held onto the belief that they weren’t entirely to blame.
