Chapter 331: Landlord Liu’s Attitude
The women’s conversation was almost entirely overheard by Shen Qinglan.She pursed her lips without speaking, but her mind was in motion.
Could this Wang Li be the one who was odd with her last time and got into a quarrel with the Flower Lady?
Living next door to her, with severe jealousy; it seems to be only this one.
Being odd to her face could be ignored, she was too lazy to bother, but running off to the Qiu Family to gossip was truly unforgivable!
Fortunately, Liu Shuanghong is a person with strong principles, if it had been someone else who believed her words, wouldn’t this marriage proposal be ruined?
What can be tolerated can be tolerated, not giving Wang Li a lesson now, who knows what she will say in the future.
"Qinglan, what’s wrong?"
Liu Shuanghong was directing people to move the betrothal gifts to the empty house next to Qiu Li, and she quickly asked in a low voice when she saw Shen Qinglan’s somewhat cold expression.
"Nothing!" Shen Qinglan smiled, "Just thought of something."
"It’s good if nothing’s wrong!" Liu Shuanghong lightly patted her arm, "Then sister-in-law will go ahead and get busy!"
"Mm." Shen Qinglan nodded slightly.
When leaving Daoxiang Village, Shen Qinglan asked Dong Yao, "Mother, is Wang Li married to the Fang Family next door?"
"Wang Li?" Dong Yao was puzzled, "Why are you asking about her?"
Shen Qinglan repeated what she had heard in Dahua Village to Dong Yao.
"What?" Dong Yao was furious, "This Wang Li, why is she so foul-mouthed? Our Shen Family, when have we ever offended her, for her to treat us this way?"
Shen Shan was also very angry, "Outrageous! But luckily the Qiu Family didn’t listen to her, otherwise the marriage proposal wouldn’t have been possible?"
"When we get back, I have got to say something to her!" Dong Yao said excitedly, "As the saying goes, it’s better to break ten temples than to ruin one marriage. How can this person be so wicked?"
Dong Yao seemed to think of something suddenly, looking at Shen Qinglan, "Qinglan, let mother handle this. As a young girl, it’s better not to get involved."
She was afraid! What if this child, in a fit of anger, ended up beating someone up, what would happen then?
The last time with Zhou Bo, it was because the Zhou Family was in the wrong, but with someone like Wang Li, who exploits every opportunity, if she got hurt a bit, wouldn’t it be known to the world?
Dong Yao felt that a few words to vent anger would do.
"Oh."
Shen Qinglan nodded obediently, but inside she was plotting how to prank Wang Li.
"I’ve heard the Duan Family will be arriving tomorrow?" Dong Yao asked.
"Mm!" Shen Qinglan replied, "Yunfei said they should be arriving by morning."
"Now that we’re returning to the village, we probably won’t be able to meet them." Dong Yao looked at her, "Since you’re in town, please help us greet Mr. Duan and Mrs. Duan warmly."
"Speaking of which, I find something very strange!" Shen Shan said puzzled.
"What is it?" Dong Yao asked.
Shen Shan said, "This Liu Landlord usually just nods to us because of the connection with Young Master Luo and Qingfeng, but yesterday at the village entrance, he not only greeted me but also invited me to drink with him when I have time. That’s too strange!"
Dong Yao and Shen Qinglan found this amusing and exchanged glances with a smile.
"Not strange at all!" Dong Yao smiled and asked, "Do you know what the relationship between Young Master Luo and Young Master Duan is?"
"What relationship?" Shen Shan asked, puzzled.
Dong Yao chuckled, "Mrs. Duan is Young Master Luo’s aunt, and Liu Landlord’s wife is a cousin to her. So, Liu Landlord is actually Young Master Duan’s uncle-in-law."
"Oh~" Shen Shan suddenly understood.
No wonder Liu Landlord’s attitude toward him changed dramatically; it was because he was the future father-in-law!
