Waiting
Editor: Henyee Translations
But Eldest Uncle informed them that he had no money and that all the money in the household belonged to Ms. Fang. As a result, they hesitated to ask Ms. Fang for it, fearing they might face physical retribution.
Ms. Ma and Third Uncle grew even more frustrated.
They didn't dare to approach Ms. Fang for the money. They would likely end up enduring a few slaps instead.
Ms. Fang, aware of their loss of 30 liang, coldly smiled and felt a sense of relief.
Since she had recently severed ties with the second section of the family, it wasn't the right time to cut off her relationship with the third section. Thus, Ms. Fang chose not to mention it.
In short, the third section had brought trouble upon themselves, and they were the ones suffering the consequences.
Ms. Fang didn't want Shao Yunduan to be bothered by this issue, so she refrained from informing him or Qiao Xuan about it, nor did she allow her family to mention it.
