"Aunt Wu, my grandma is resting. If there's anything you need, just tell me." Su Ran remained standing there, not letting Aunt Wu in.

"Oh dear, what are you doing getting involved, you little girl? Only your elders can make decisions about this kind of thing." Seeing that she couldn't move Su Ran no matter how she tried, Aunt Wu got impatient, stamping her feet and looking anxious.

Su Ran frowned: "What kind of thing?"

Aunt Wu was extremely anxious, "Why can't you understand me?"

"You go first," Su Ran said calmly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Aunt Wu with a cold indifference.

Aunt Wu felt a sudden unease under Su Ran's gaze; the restlessness in her heart inexplicably subsided, leaving only a chilling feeling.

Just then, Grandma Su's voice came from inside the courtyard.

"What is it? Why did you have to call me?" Grandma Su walked with steady steps. Her dark green winter coat was made of the finest material, giving the old lady a touch of elegance and nobility.

When she saw that it was Grandma Su, Aunt Wu beamed with joy.

"Aunt Su, I came to see you about something, but your child is blocking me from coming in."

"You can say it here," said Grandma Su, standing behind Su Hou.

Aunt Wu looked at Su Ran, then at Grandma Su, and finally her gaze fell on the bag of fruit in her hand.

"Look, I'm carrying fruit. Won't you let me in and sit down?"

"No need for fruit. You know how good our family used to be. It's already a favor that we opened the door for you." Grandma Su's originally kind face was now serious.

"Sigh, my Tiezhu has grown up now. He knows he was ignorant before and bullied your Ranran. Now he bought some things to apologize, but he was afraid you would kick him out if he came by himself, so he had to send me, his mother, instead," Aunt Wu said tactfully.

She added, "Parents always have such a heart. I saw my son was so upset, so I had no choice but to bring these things over."

Su Ran said coldly, "If you don't forgive me, please leave."

She closed the door after she finished speaking.

Aunt Wu got anxious and started shouting and yelling outside.

"You heartless bastard! My son is only apologizing because he's giving you face. I don't know what tricks you used to become so beautiful and bewitch my son! Now you're trying every means to get me to arrange a marriage for you! It's your good fortune that my son has taken a liking to you. If you want to marry into our family, I'm not happy about it!"

After saying that, she still felt unsatisfied and spat at the door.

The little butterfly stared wide-eyed. How dare you! Insult! Your! Host!

Is she out of her mind?

It is the most protective of its master!

The little butterfly popped out of the egg bag, flew to Aunt Wu's ear, and shoved the empty bottle of Soul-Capturing Incense into her ear!

The glass bottle containing the Soul-Capturing Incense is long and slender; the effect of pushing it down is no less than the sudden, unexpected pain one feels when someone is bumped into while using an ear pick.

What's more, the little butterfly used too much force and broke the glass bottle.

The little butterfly cannot move real-world objects, only items from the beauty store. This bottle was left behind after the last attack on the host, and now it has become the little butterfly's weapon.

Aunt Wu let out a loud cry.

"Ah! My ear! Why is my ear bleeding!" Aunt Wu felt a sharp pain in her right ear canal, and when she touched it, she found her hand covered in bright red blood.

She stared at the tightly closed, ancient, vermilion-lacquered gate, then looked around in alarm, feeling a chill run down her spine, and fled as if her life depended on it.

Seeing how terrified Aunt Wu was, the little butterfly flew triumphantly over the wall and went to its host for praise.

“That Aunt Wu is here to propose marriage,” Grandma Su said knowingly.

Su Ran frowned: "Why did she suddenly decide to propose marriage?"

Grandma Su said, "Maybe it's because you've become more and more beautiful, and you even built me ​​a house. They think you're rich and want you to be their daughter-in-law."

Su Ran sneered: "Does she have no shame? Doesn't she know how despicable her son is?"

Grandma Su said, "Of course she's shameless."

Then Grandma Su added, "Now that you've made an appearance, a lot of people will be watching you, so try to stay home as much as possible."

"Grandma, don't worry, there aren't many people here who can take me down."

Grandma Su smiled and said, "Ranran, you are the most principled girl I have ever met."

"Grandma, you flatter me," Su Ran said.

"You were raised by your maternal grandmother. When I first met you, you were just a tiny little thing. Back then, we lived in a small mud house. I never imagined that we would move into such a big house so quickly. The hardships we endured in the past were neither too long nor too short. Now, all the hardships have finally come to an end. Seeing you grow into a beautiful young woman, your maternal grandmother feels at ease," Grandma Su recalled.

"With Grandma here, I don't feel bitter at all," Su Ran said with a smile. She helped her grandma sit down in a chair, and seeing that the teapot on the table was empty, she got up and boiled a pot of water.

"I bought some seafood online, it should be at the post station by now. I'll go get it, you can rest," Su Ran said into the room before hurriedly leaving.

Su Ran opened the door and looked at the empty courtyard. Her eyes were filled with coldness. Today there was Aunt Wu, and tomorrow there would be other aunties. She had expected this situation when she returned to the village. But seeing them again, she felt an urge to crush them.

Just then, the little butterfly flew in happily, looking at Su Ran triumphantly. "Host, I beat up that wicked old lady!" It nudged Su Ran's palm with its head, as if asking for credit.

Su Ran patted Little Butterfly's head and praised, "Well done, Little Butterfly."

The little butterfly happily flew up and circled around Su Ran a few times.

She bought her grandmother an electric scooter for getting around. Grandma Su usually drives this scooter to buy groceries, pick up packages, or go for a walk.

When Su Ran drove out today, everyone thought it was Grandma Su, but upon closer inspection, they found that the person in the driver's seat was a stunningly beautiful young woman.

They had never seen anything so beautiful, and they called out to their friends and family to come and see.

"Who is she?"

"I don't know, she came from the direction of that old woman Su."

"They were driving that old woman's car too."

"I heard that the old woman and her granddaughter are back. Could this be her granddaughter?"

"How is that possible? I've seen him since he was a child, he's so ugly he's unbearable to look at. How can he compare to this beautiful woman in front of me?"

“My second son is an adult now, and getting married has become a difficult thing. I think that old lady’s granddaughter is nice, and they could be a good match.”

"Your silly second son is a perfect match for this ugly girl from the Su family, but I'm afraid Old Lady Su won't agree."

"That old hag isn't going to live much longer. She might fall into a ditch and die like Teacher Gao one day. What right does she have to care about her granddaughter?"

Several middle-aged men with unfriendly expressions stood there discussing amongst themselves, glancing in the direction of the departing electric scooter, a hint of barely suppressed drooling in their eyes.

Because it was the eve of the Lunar New Year, not only did Su Ran buy a lot of things, but everyone else did too.

There's only one post station in Xiaojiang Village, and two long queues formed at the entrance as people called out their pickup codes one by one.

Su Ran parked her car and naturally stood at the end of the line.

Her height stood out in the long line; she was tall and slender, and her face was like a red flower among green leaves, very eye-catching. In no time, she attracted everyone's attention.

"She doesn't seem like someone from our village; she's probably a girl from the city, isn't she?"

"Whose child is this? So exceptionally good-looking, the doorstep must be worn down by matchmakers!"

"Her down jacket looks expensive, unlike the kind of wife our family can afford to marry."

“She looks familiar. My kid just got home today. I checked his videos on Douyin (TikTok), and he often watches videos of the same girl. She looks so much like her.”

Su Ran finally arrived. After she gave her pickup code, someone came with a truckload of her packages. They looked quite heavy, and the person who towed the truck looked exhausted.

When she came out, Su Ran was carrying several boxes of fresh ingredients in her arms, stacked up to almost as tall as herself.

A young man, trying to curry favor, stepped out of the queue and approached Su Ran, saying, "With so many things, it must be hard to carry them all. Let me help you."

Before Su Ran could say a word, the man grabbed the two boxes off her head.

The audience burst into laughter.

"The big vat, it's no good now."

The man called Big Jar, seeing everyone laughing at him, replied unhappily, "My hands hurt from chopping firewood for the family."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the beautiful woman before him, whose skin was as clear and translucent as ice and snow, spoke up.

"Are you the big vat?"

Upon hearing this, the young man smiled honestly and said, "Yes, you know me."

"Of course, have you forgotten me? I am Su Ran." The beautiful girl in front of me spoke with a smile, but her eyes were filled with frost.

The man's expression changed instantly.
