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

Upon hearing Wei Kezhi's words, Su Banxia coughed a few times.

"Ahem, I never said Young Master Lou was handsome, although he is indeed quite good-looking..."

Wei Kezhi glared fiercely at Su Banxia.

"You are not allowed to come to Wangyue Tower again!"

After saying that, he grabbed Su Banxia and pulled her into the pawnshop next door to sell leather.

After the two finished selling the hides and came out, Su Banxia grabbed Wei Kezhi's arm and said:

"Now that my yard is almost finished, it's time to order some tables and chairs. Once the house is all set up, we can move in and use it right away. Do you know which carpenter in Fuping County does good work?"

Although Wei Kezhi didn't care about these things, he had been selling meat and wild products in the county for many years, and he had heard that Muxiangzhai was currently the best furniture business in Fuping County.

So Wei Kezhi handed the two taels of silver he had just received to Su Banxia.

"Banxia, ​​take this money and use it first. The best carpentry shop in Fuping County right now is Muxiangzhai."

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly pushed the silver back.

"You need to eat and drink too, so hurry up and put it away. I have some money on hand, so don't worry. Let's go, let's go see that Muxiangzhai you mentioned."

Seeing that Su Banxia wouldn't accept his silver, Wei Kezhi had no choice but to reluctantly put it away.

"Alright, then if you need money in the future, just come to me and I'll keep it for you."

Although Su Banxia didn't need Wei Kezhi's money, his words warmed her heart; she felt she had made a truly worthwhile friend.

The two strolled to the entrance of Muxiangzhai and saw a large crowd gathered there.

"You're absolutely unreasonable!"

"Let me tell you, Su Tao, even if you marry Zhang Feng, he will always be my father's disciple, my senior brother, and my good brother! Don't even think about replacing me in his heart!"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia frowned. Su Tao? Is she the Su Tao from the old Su family? Could Zhang Feng be the boy who came to propose marriage to Su Tao that day?

Thinking this, Su Banxia quickly stepped forward and pushed through the crowd, only to see Qin Shi and Su Tao standing in the middle of the crowd arguing with a young girl.

"You, you, you shameless person! Zhang Feng is getting married to me next month, why are you still clinging to him?"

Su Tao blushed and pointed at Liu Qing'er's nose, cursing.

"Pah! I think it's you who's shameless. I've known Brother Zhang Feng longer than you have, but you just had to shamelessly interfere!"

After hearing Liu Qing'er's words, everyone began to discuss among themselves:

"Tsk tsk, I didn't realize this girl had this skill."

"What do you know? You're just trying to get close to someone with this skill so you'll never have to worry about food or clothing again."

Seeing that everyone was criticizing her daughter, Madam Qin quickly waved her hand and explained:

"No, no, it was Zhang Feng who came to our house to ask for our hand in marriage. It's not like what you're saying. Don't talk nonsense."

Su Banxia noticed that Qin Shi, who was usually quite sharp-tongued at the Su family home, was now unable to explain herself. Su Banxia didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But then he remembered that Su Tao was also a daughter of the Su family, and if this matter escalated, it might affect the marriages of the younger generation of the Su family. So he stepped forward and looked at the proud Liu Qing'er, calling out:

"Who do you think you are, daring to yell at us like that? If you're so capable, why don't you send your brother Zhang Feng to your house to propose marriage?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia grabbed Su Tao's arm.

"Look carefully, this is Zhang Feng's mother's chosen daughter-in-law. They are going to marry Su Tao properly and bring her home. You just opened your mouth and said that his wife is a disreputable person. You really know how to make trouble. No wonder the Zhang family doesn't like you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing'er immediately put her hands on her hips in anger.

"You're talking nonsense! Who are you? How would you know about Brother Zhang Feng's family affairs!"

Su Banxia sneered and stared at Liu Qing'er, saying:

"Hmph, if not a single person knew the truth, everyone would have been fooled by you!"

Seeing everyone whispering and looking at her, Liu Qing'er panicked and quickly explained:

"If my father hadn't disapproved of my marriage to Zhang Feng, Su Tao wouldn't have had a chance!"

Su Banxia stepped forward, looked into Liu Qing'er's eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, everyone, come and listen to this logic. According to you, any man who has proposed to you or even spoken to you is not allowed to get married? Does that mean all the men in Muxiangzhai belong to you alone?"

Everyone who heard this felt that Liu Qing'er had gone too far.

"Exactly, this girl is really domineering."

"Isn't that right? If we follow her logic, she won't marry Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng will have to remain unmarried for the rest of his life because of her?"

Su Banxia glanced at Su Tao, who was still crying, and said:

"Where's Zhang Feng? With all this commotion outside, where the hell is he?"

While wiping away her tears, Su Tao pointed to the back of the counter at Muxiangzhai.

“He was hiding in the back; I saw him just now.”

Su Banxia looked speechlessly behind the counter and saw Zhang Feng peeking out with half his head sticking out. She immediately roared angrily.

"Zhang Feng, if you're a man, get your ass out here right now!"

Zhang Feng had just gone to relieve himself, and when he returned, he saw Su Tao and Liu Qing'er fighting. He was so frightened that he dared not go out.

He thought that hiding behind the counter would ensure no one would notice him, but Su Tao had already seen him. Now, naturally embarrassed, he could only reluctantly come out and walk up to Su Tao, his face flushed, and say:

"Su Tao, what brings you here?"

Before Su Tao could speak, Su Banxia interjected:

"If Su Tao hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were such a coward!"

Seeing that Su Tao was still wiping away tears with her head down, Zhang Feng hurriedly explained:

"No, Su Tao, let me explain. I just came up with this idea, but I just couldn't find the right opportunity..."

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"Now is the right time. Today, in front of everyone, you should clarify things between you and this woman. Do you still want to marry Su Tao?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng immediately stood up straight and said anxiously:

"I must marry you! I have set a date with Su Tao, and both our parents have met. How can I not marry you!"

Su Banxia glanced at Liu Qing'er, who stood to the side with a disdainful expression, then looked at Zhang Feng and said:

"Then you'd better explain today what your relationship with this woman really is. If you can't explain this clearly, then I think your marriage to Su Tao should just be called off!"

Hearing this, Qin was a little anxious, but with so many people watching, she didn't dare to say anything. She just kept trying to wink at Su Banxia, ​​but Su Banxia didn't even glance at her. She just stared intently at Zhang Feng, waiting for him to speak.
