These titles were nothing but empty words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly desired it, he believed he could exert influence over Ms. Fang’s younger associates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the family’s patriarch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By threatening them with dire consequences, Ms. Fang, Shao Dalang, and the others would not dare to defy him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had never resorted to such tactics before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely requested their gratitude and expected them to respond in kind. Such a beautiful gesture seemed elusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, at this moment, if he was willing to perform these superficial tasks, it would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle and Mrs. Ma had originally intended to inform Eldest Uncle of their interest in Zhao Shu, hoping that Eldest Uncle would advocate for him in the third section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon reaching Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle had a change of heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Eldest Brother declined to assist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might as well keep silent and invite Young Master Zhao to their home instead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle wished to entertain Young Master Zhao, but Eldest Uncle did not view it as a significant matter. He believed Third Uncle was trying to establish a friendship between Young Master Zhao and Shao Liulang, so he readily consented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Zhao Shu was reluctant to comply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his brief time in Shaoding Village, he had become well-liked and developed affection for Taotao. Many villagers favored the gossips. What couldn’t he learn about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shu had a clear understanding of the dynamics within the Shao Family’s first, third, and second sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, his loyalty lay with the first section of the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His encounters with Ms. Ma, Third Uncle, Ms. Niu, and others only deepened his dislike for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were individuals he simply couldn’t tolerate; a single glance was enough to fuel his aversion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the third section proposed treating him to a meal, he adamantly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did Zhao Shu decline the offer, but he also went to Ms. Fang and Taotao to share his decision, hoping to gain their favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taotao found it amusing, while Ms. Fang was delighted and praised him. A prospective son-in-law with such an unspoken mutual understanding was truly on their side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, why would he consider dining with the third section of the family? What could they possibly offer? Wasn’t the food at home far more delectable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhao Shu’s unwillingness to go, Eldest Uncle had no alternative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle and Mrs. Ma became irate once more, holding Eldest Uncle accountable for not supporting their cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldest Uncle felt unjustly accused but couldn’t voice his grievances. Instead, he attempted to mediate, stating, “Young Master Zhao appreciates your kindness. He’s an easy-going man, so dining or not dining doesn’t matter to him. If you have any requests, feel free to speak up; Young Master Zhao won’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Ma and Third Uncle were exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Zhao might not mind, but they certainly did!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dining or not dining made a world of difference!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Uncle had no choice but to reveal their intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldest Uncle was taken aback and remained lost in thought for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Brother, we implore you to assist us in this matter. Xiaozhi is your own niece! In my opinion, Yun Duan currently holds a high-ranking position in the capital. Our Liulang is gifted and has a bright future ahead. He’s on track to be recommended for the Advanced Scholar examination next year, and if he succeeds in the mid-year assessment, he could secure an official position!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our family has undergone significant changes. We are now worthy of Young Master Zhao’s consideration!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldest Uncle…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldest Uncle felt a deep sense of bitterness welling up within him. How had things come to this point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Young Master Zhao had approached me and Ms. Fang about marrying Taotao, but I didn’t agree to it, and Ms. Fang likely had her reservations as well since she deferred the decision to our fifth son and his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>",709,"2026-06-03T12:01:04.667Z","2026-06-03T12:01:08.095Z",1,"novelbin.me","abc9baca1c40b92a4db6b9d8d78fb785bb761b1ab29a1a90a6682c9af2734952","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1421","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1419",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
