Everyone in the Su family looked at the sweet potato noodles drying in the yard with smiles on their faces.

They didn't know what this thing tasted like, but seeing how Su He took it so seriously and was so happy about it, they thought it must be good.

Su He has good craftsmanship, so the things he makes must be good. They just wait for them to dry and then they’ll know the taste when they taste good!

Xia family.

"Mom, I've been squatting outside the Su family for several days, but I haven't seen Xia Mei come out."

Xia Xiaobao curled his lips. If his mother, Mrs. Li, had not told him to just go and watch at the door of the Su family, and if he saw Xia Mei going out alone, he should come back and tell her and give her candy, he would not want to do this job.

He was almost discovered by Su He two days ago. Now he didn't know why, but he always felt a little afraid of Su He.

Su He looked smiling, but he still felt a little shivering from the coldness in his eyes when he taught him a lesson last time.

If she found him squatting at the door of the Su family, she would probably teach him a lesson again.

"I was almost discovered by that damn girl Su He."

Li rolled her eyes at him. Su He was just a little girl, why was he so cowardly?

Li poked his forehead unhappily.

"She's just a little girl. No one else in the Su family saw her. What are you afraid of?"

Xia Xiaobao grumbled and whispered, "I'm not going anyway."

After saying that, he ran away.

Li looked at Xia Xiaobao's back and wanted to curse him out loud but she could do nothing. Forget it, she would go out and take a look herself, maybe she would meet him there.

Thinking of this, Li closed the gate of his own courtyard and walked slowly towards the direction of the Su family.

Unexpectedly, she actually met Xia Mei going out alone with a basket of vegetables. It seemed that she was going to the vegetable garden. That was really great.

Xia Mei was thinking about the housework and wanted to pick the vegetables and go back as soon as possible. She was in a hurry and did not notice that Li was following her all the way.

Xia Mei quickly picked the vegetables and walked to the place where she and Su He picked wild fruits last time. She looked there again to see if there were any wild fruits left.

When he was about to go back after seeing nothing, he was startled by Li's sudden appearance. He held the vegetable basket in one hand and covered his chest with the other, his heart still pounding.

Xia Mei was still a little scared because she hadn't seen Li for a long time. Moreover, no one was passing by on this road at this time. Xia Mei couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have come out by herself.

Seeing that Xia Mei's face turned pale and she kept backing away when she saw her, Li still curled her lips complacently, very satisfied to see Xia Mei's reaction.

"Xia Mei, you ungrateful little bitch, you have become much braver since you married into the Su family."

There was no one around, and Li had nothing to worry about. She put her hands on her hips and started to scold Xia Mei.

"Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you're married. After all, I've raised you for so many years. Now that you're living a good life, you forget about your biological father and your biological brother. You're really heartless."

"Come back to Xia's house with me now."

After Li finished speaking, she stepped forward and tried to grab Xia Mei. Xia Mei was startled and anxiously dodged backwards.

Li's hands were empty, and his face looked even uglier.

"Silly girl, now you feel like you have someone to back you up, right? Even if you get married, you'll still be the daughter of the Xia family. Do you want to live your whole life without a mother's family?"

The more Li spoke, the more proud she became. She still had the final say in the Xia family. Moreover, even if Xia Mei was married now, she would still be in Yunli Village.

Moreover, if she didn't have the support of her natal family, how could she gain a foothold in the Su family? Then they would have to listen to her.

Xia Mei clutched the vegetable basket tightly in her hand, looked around, and secretly hoped that someone would pass by.

But she was still disappointed. At this hour, most families had already started cooking, and she was late because she was helping to make sweet potato noodles.

Looking at Li in front of her, Xia Mei bit her lower lip and dared not speak.

Li secretly sneered in her heart. If there were someone else, she would not dare to be so blatant. But she was still a little worried outside the village entrance, so she wanted Xia Mei to follow her back to the Xia family.

If Su Mu comes to ask for someone at that time, she will have to see whether she is willing to let Xia Mei go back.

It all depends on her mood at that time. Doesn't she know what kind of personality Xia Mei has had since she was a child? She can easily control her.

Li looked at Xia Mei with a smug look on her face, as if she had already controlled Xia Mei in her hands.

Seeing that Xia Mei didn't move, she became even more angry.

"Why, I can't persuade you anymore, right? You still want me to treat you? Come here quickly!"

Xia Mei shook her head repeatedly. The days she spent at the Su family were the most comfortable days she had experienced since her mother passed away.

Everyone in the Su family is very kind and nice to her, and Su Mu is even more gentle and considerate to her.

In the Su family, she had enough to eat and enough clothes to wear. Although she didn't have the best meals every day, everyone in the Su family treated her as their own family member and protected her. They didn't deliberately hide the secrets about making mushroom jam and the family's income from her.

Before she met Li today, she had almost forgotten her past days in the Xia family.

It was not until I saw Li that I remembered the previous anxious days.

She doesn't want to go back to the Xia family. She has already married Su Mu, and the Su family will be her home from now on.

Xia Mei's eyes turned slightly red and she kept shaking her head.

When Li saw Xia Mei's expression, she rolled her eyes. Seeing that she was not going to fall for it, she could only think of other ways.

Li's eyes turned, and she deliberately lowered her voice and said in a false tone:

"Mei Zi, don't blame me. I was just too anxious. I was worried that you were alone in the Su family without anyone to support you."

Thinking of today's purpose, Li continued:

"Although I didn't do well before, it was because I was worried about you. You don't know that I have been worried about you for the past few days and I haven't been able to eat or sleep well."

After hearing what Li said, Xia Mei didn't know what she meant, but still looked at her warily.

She didn't say anything, she just wanted to get away and go back as soon as possible, but Li blocked her way and she couldn't get past her, so she could only feel anxious.

"You're the only brother in our family, so we have to support you in the future. If your brother lives well, the Su family won't dare to bully you!"

Li patiently guided her. In the past, Xia Mei never dared to talk back to her because she had a soft temper. But as long as she talked to her nicely, she would definitely soften her heart.

Seeing that Xia Mei didn't seem to be as defensive as before, Li spoke again:

"I heard that the Su family has a new tiled roof and is raising piglets. But what business did they do to make a lot of money?"

Li looked at the new clothes Xia Mei was wearing, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison, but she still forced a smile on her face, and asked Xia Mei indirectly about the situation of the Su family.
