I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Wei Kezhi already found Su Mo to be a noisy person. She had initially tolerated speaking to her only because she was Su Banxia's sister, but now that Su Mo dared to speak ill of Su Banxia in front of her, Wei Kezhi decided she could no longer tolerate it.

He merely glanced coldly at Su Mo and said indifferently:

"It's none of your business what your sister does."

After saying that, he left Su Mo standing there, walked straight to Su Banxia, ​​snatched the herbs from her hand, and pressed them hard on Erzhuzi's wound, causing Erzhuzi to hiss in pain.

Wei Kezhi, however, had a faint smile on his lips as he turned to Su Banxia and said:

"You tell me, I'll do it."

Su Banxia frowned upon seeing this and said:

"Then be gentle. First, spread the herbs evenly, then wrap it up with a bag."

As she spoke, Su Banxia looked at Erzhuzi and asked with concern:

"Erzhuzi, are there any other injuries on your body?"

Erzhuzi, enduring the pain, looked at Su Banxia and smiled:

"Banxia, ​​don't worry, I'm tough and resilient. Those guys can't hurt me at all."

Wei Kezhi, who was bending down to bandage her wound, scoffed disdainfully upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly stood behind Wei Kezhi and secretly nudged him with her hand, signaling him not to do anything unnecessary. After all, Erzhuzi was injured while protecting her, and she couldn't let Erzhuzi feel embarrassed.

Wei Kezhi was pushed by Su Banxia, ​​but he didn't say much. He just quickly and haphazardly bandaged Erzhuzi's wound.

Su Banxia frowned as she looked at Wei Kezhi's bandaged wound, then turned to Erzhuzi and said:

"Erzhuzi, you can rest at home for the next few days. You don't need to come to work. I'll still pay you your wages. I'll have my brother bring you your meals later. You should focus on getting better first."

Erzhuzi listened to these words and said with a grateful expression:

"No need, Banxia. It's my fault for not protecting you properly. It was my fault in the beginning that allowed Su Feng to take advantage of the situation and cause Tie Niu to get hurt. All of this is because of me. How can I let you pay me for nothing? I can't accept it."

Su Banxia smiled helplessly.

"Erzhuzi, you're overthinking it. Actually, Su Feng came for our family from the beginning. This matter has nothing to do with you. We should apologize for dragging you into it. I'll take care of these things. Just listen to me."

Seeing that Su Banxia not only didn't blame him but was also treating him so well, Erzhuzi's eyes immediately reddened. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he worked for other people's families, no one had ever given him money; they had always just given him some food and sent him on his way.

Erzhuzi didn't dare to ask for too much. In this world, just having enough to eat and surviving was already a blessing.

Now that Su Banxia was being so considerate of him, Erzhuzi felt a warm glow in his heart. He secretly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, looked up at Su Banxia, ​​and solemnly said:

"Banxia, ​​if you don't mind, I'll be your follower from now on, doing things for you and listening to everything you say. I don't need any wages, just give me some food."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi immediately became anxious, quickly pulling Su Banxia behind him, frowning as he looked at Erzhuzi and said in a deep voice:

"I am the only follower of Banxia. You are not worthy."

Erzhuzi was also quick-tempered. Seeing Wei Kezhi say this, he immediately blushed and said anxiously:

"I don't care whether Banxia needs me to do anything or not, I've already decided she's the one for me!"

Wei Kezhi clenched his fists, looked at Erzhuzi, and said in a deep voice:

"Banxia has an older brother, so there's no need for you to be one."

Erzhuzi, having been refuted by Wei Kezhi, naturally lost his temper and said dejectedly:

"What I mean is, from now on, if Banxia tells me to go east, I will never go west."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi quickly turned to look at Su Banxia with a serious expression.

“Me too, I’m definitely more obedient than him.”

Su Banxia blushed deeply after being teased by the two of them. She didn't know how to respond. At that moment, Su Banxia felt incredibly embarrassed and wished she could disappear into the ground.

She waved her hand and called out to Su Shiyan, who was not far away:

"Brother, why don't you take Erzhuzi back to rest first?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan quickly put down the shovel he was holding, ran over, and carried Erzhuzi, who was sitting on the ground, on his back.

"Sister, you keep an eye on everyone's work, I'll be right back."

Su Banxia nodded to Su Shiyan, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

Seeing that Su Shiyan had walked away, Wei Kezhi grabbed Su Banxia's arm nervously and said:

"You have to promise me that you will only have one brother, me."

Su Banxia helplessly shook off Wei Kezhi's hand and nodded:

"Are you stupid? Do you think everyone would want to be my lackey?"

Wei Kezhi scratched his head, smiled, and looked at Su Banxia.

"Um, I think I'm a little hungry. I've finished all the dry food you made for me, so I came down the mountain to find you..."

In order to find a suitable reason to see Su Banxia, ​​Wei Kezhi deliberately made sure that last night, he watched as the two guards and Xiaobai ate all the food that Su Banxia had prepared for him. This morning, he came down the mountain hungry to find Su Banxia.

He was so angry when he saw Su Banxia being bullied that he didn't realize that his stomach was already growling with hunger.

Su Banxia looked at Wei Kezhi in surprise, and said speechlessly:

"No way, two pots of steamed buns, one pot of cornbread, and three flatbreads, and you ate them all?"

Wei Kezhi nodded, looking aggrieved.

"You haven't seen how many days it's been since you came up the mountain to see me. My leg is completely healed now."

Before he met Su Banxia, ​​Wei Kezhi ate boiled vegetables and boiled meat every day. He was completely clueless about cooking; as long as he could cook something to fill his stomach and not starve, that was enough.

But after meeting Su Banxia and eating all the delicious food she made, Wei Kezhi felt more and more that he had been eating pig swill before, so now he would rather go hungry than eat the food he made.

Hearing Wei Kezhi's stomach rumbling, Su Banxia's heart softened as she thought of how he had protected her earlier. She said softly, "..."

"Okay, okay, I'll go cook for you right away. It's almost lunchtime for the workers anyway, so you can eat with everyone."

Wei Kezhi nodded happily.

"Okay, I love any food you cook. I'll go help you start the fire."

As Wei Kezhi went to gather firewood, he leaned close to Su Banxia and whispered:

“Now that my leg is healed, I’m too embarrassed to keep asking you to come up the mountain every day to cook for me. How about I come down the mountain every day to help you with your work? I won’t ask for wages; you can just provide me with food and drink.”
