    Qiao Xuan’s decision to invite Ms. Yan was influenced by her desire to exclude Shao Meiling from the gathering. She held unfavorable opinions about both Shao Xiaozhi and Shao Meiling, and she wanted to avoid any potential conflicts or difort among the family members.


    By extending the invitation to Ms. Yan, Qiao Xuan ensured that Shao Meiling would not be inclined to join the gathering. If Shao Meiling were present, it would likely lead to the inclusion of Shao Xiaozhi as well. However, by having a specific matter to discuss with Ms. Yan, which conveniently required her to spend more time with the first section of the family, everything would appear natural and without any forced interactions.


    The presence of Ms. Yan as a daughter-inw in the second section of the family was highly valued by the members of the first section. Her influence had a positive impact on Ms. Niu and Second Uncle, who were noticeably less rude in their behavior.


    This change in attitude wasrgely due to the sess of the Yan Family’s tofu workshop, where both of Ms. Yan’s sons were making money. This financial sess improved the perception of Ms. Yan and her family, and as a result, Second Uncle and Ms. Niu were more inclined to treat them with respect.


    While the first section of the family could offer them employment opportunities as well, the impact of the offering directly from the Yan Family was significantly different.


    If the Yan Family offered job opportunities, the second section of the family would be filled with gratitude and would never dare to be critical orzy. They understood the value of the Yan Family’s support and recognized that it was a privilege to receive employment from them. On the other hand, if the job offer came from the first section of the family, the second section would be more inclined toin about low pay and harbor jealousy, potentially causing significant trouble within the family dynamics.


    With her unwavering rity and the backing of her powerful family, Ms. Yanmanded strong authority within the second section of the family. As a result, the members of the first section were more than willing to spend time and socialize with her.


    They would always make sure to include Ms. Yan in their own activities, valuing her presence and considering her an important member of their gatherings.


    During the gift-giving asion, Ms. Fang even presented an additional pair of gold bracelets to Ms. Yan, highlighting her significance within the family.


    Meanwhile, Shao Ling had recently returned from his friend’s house, still harboring resentment towards Shao Yunduan and the first section of the family. However, the members of the first section showed little concern for him, except for Eldest Uncle. Third Uncle “identally” informed Eldest Uncle about Shao Lings return, knowing his genuine worry for his nephew.


    Eldest Uncle, genuinely concerned for Shao Lings well-being, wasted no time and promptly visited the third section of the family to check on him.


    Shao Lings annoyance and misery intensified as he observed the behavior of the first section of the family. He believed that they were nothing more than bullies, and he had no intention of forgiving them easily for their actions.


    Eldest Uncle’s genuine concern and attempts tomunicate with him only served to exacerbate Shao Lings misery. He firmly held onto his belief that he had every reason to harbor hatred towards the first section of the family.


    Consequently, Shao Ling maintained a cold and unfriendly attitude towards Eldest Uncle, refusing to engage in a constructive conversation.


    Adding to his emotions, Ms. Ma and Third Uncle fueled the fire by supporting Shao Lings perspective, further diminishing his anger towards the first section of the family.


    Pleased with the turn of events, Eldest Uncle expressed his satisfaction. “Ling, your cousin is here at home, and you can spend time talking with him whenever you’re free. We are family, and together we can ovee any challenges. Your future will be brighter as we support each other.”


    Initially, Eldest Uncle intended to say, “You can learn a lot from your cousin since you’re a smart individual. You have the potential to be a cultivated talent and a rmended individual too!” However, he recalled how angry Shao Ling had be in the past when he mentioned this, so he decided to alter his words.


    The fact that Shao Ling had a Provincial Champion as his cousin made everyone from the college envious. They couldn’t help but feel jealous, knowing that he had the privilege of seeking advice from such an aplished individual whenever he pleased.


    However, Shao Ling remained unaffected by Eldest Uncle’s words. He replied bitterly, “l don’t dare to disturb my cousin. He’s different now. Unless he personally asks to meet me, I won’t show up.”


    Eldest Uncle found Shao Lings response somewhat reasonable and attempted to appease the situation with a smile. “Ling, we’re family. Yunduan is a Provincial Champion and your cousin. It’s only natural for him to meet you. You don’t need to set so many conditions.”


    Shao Ling sneered in response.


    Not wanting to dwell on the matter with Shao Ling, Eldest Uncle genuinely cared about his nephew’s feelings. He nodded and said, “Alright then, I’ll ask your cousin to invite you for tea..”
