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

Hearing this, Su Banxia felt a warmth in her heart. Since Wei Kezhi had spoken so sincerely, she had no reason to refuse. So she smiled and said to Wei Kezhi:

"Okay, then we'll do it your way. Consider it payment for my meals."

Su Banxia quickly chose a blue dress and a pink dress, and then selected a dark purple dress for Wang Guihua based on her size. She also bought several bolts of coarse cloth, intending to save them to make new clothes for Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan.

After buying all that, Su Banxia took Wei Kezhi to the butcher shop to retrieve the items they had previously stored there.

She bought a lot of things on this trip. She was afraid that Wei Kezhi would carry too much weight by himself, so she insisted on helping him carry them. Wei Kezhi couldn't refuse Su Banxia, ​​so he had no choice but to let her carry the clothes she had just bought.

When the two arrived at the city gate, all the passengers had arrived. Uncle Niu had been waiting for Su Banxia. Su Banxia handed Uncle Niu the medicine she had bought for Tie Niu and two catties of pork, and instructed him:

"Uncle Niu, I bought a lot of things today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Give Tie Niu the medicine as he did last time. I'll go check on his injury after he finishes it."

Seeing this, Uncle Niu gratefully accepted the medicine, but stuffed the two pounds of pork back into Su Banxia's basket.

"We can't take this meat anymore. Banxia, ​​you've already helped our family so much. How could I be so heartless as to take your pork again?"

Su Banxia said with a smile:

"Uncle Niu, why are you being so polite with me? If you don't want it, I'll just leave the meat here!"

Seeing that Su Banxia was really about to throw the meat on the ground, Uncle Niu quickly grabbed the meat back, feeling sorry for her.

"No, don't throw it away, it's such a waste. Consider this meat as something I owe you, Banxia. You can use this meat to pay for your future travel expenses."

Su Banxia smiled at Uncle Niu and got into the carriage. Qin Shi, sitting nearby, was immediately displeased that Su Banxia had so generously given Uncle Niu two jin of pork.

"Hey, Banxia, ​​you came to town and didn't buy your grandma anything to show your respect?"

Su Banxia slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Shi, then said coldly:

"Did your aunt buy anything to give to my grandmother?"

When Su Banxia asked Qin this question, she frowned and coughed a few times.

“I, I haven’t separated from your grandmother. Everything I buy is for your grandmother.”

Su Banxia glanced indifferently at the contents of Qin Shi and Su Tao's baskets, and chuckled disdainfully.

"Was this red comb, and some rouge and powder, also bought for my grandma?"

Upon hearing this, Qin blushed and quickly turned around to cover the contents of the basket tightly with a rag.

Why are you staring at our stuff like that?

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"You looked at my things first, and then I looked at yours. Otherwise, who would care what you bought?"

Seeing that Qin Shi was getting nowhere with Su Banxia, ​​Su Tao nudged Qin Shi's arm, signaling her to say less.

However, Qin was already feeling quite uncomfortable seeing the second family buying so much food.

Seeing that Su Banxia was sharp-tongued, she, as an elder, naturally couldn't lose face in front of the villagers. So, ignoring Su Tao's objections, she looked Su Banxia up and down and said:

"Oh, you just bought new clothes? As expected, you've started spending recklessly now that you've separated from the family and have money. Farmers don't usually buy clothes from tailor shops; everyone buys fabric and makes their own."

Seeing that Qin Shi was going on and on, Su Banxia turned to look at her.

"What clothes I wear is none of your business. You don't give me any money, so why are you meddling in my affairs? If you love meddling so much, why don't you get off the dung cart and taste how salty it is when it passes by?"

Hearing Su Banxia's words, Wei Kezhi couldn't help but chuckle. Su Banxia raised an eyebrow and gave him a smug look. The two smiled at each other.

Wei Kezhi was surprised to learn that Su Banxia was so sharp-tongued. But that was fine; he wouldn't have to worry about her suffering losses in the future.

Seeing that everyone was secretly laughing at her mother, Su Tao could no longer sit still. So she grabbed Qin Shi's hand and looked at Su Banxia, ​​saying:

"Su Banxia, ​​don't think you can do whatever you want just because you helped me earlier. My mother is still your elder. How can you talk to your elder like that? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get married in the future?"

Before Su Banxia could speak, Wei Kezhi, sitting to the side, stared coldly at Su Tao and said:

"I'll marry you."

Su Banxia stared wide-eyed at Wei Kezhi's resolute profile in disbelief, her face flushing slightly. She then lowered her head and whispered:

"Don't talk."

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Tao understood perfectly well, so she pointed at Su Banxia and sneered:

"Su Banxia, ​​I never expected you to be this kind of woman. Don't just think about your own happiness and ruin the reputation of our Su family! Our uncle and your brother and sister are not married yet!"

Hearing Su Tao's words, Su Banxia was furious. She had really gone too far in helping her out of that predicament, and now, so soon, Su Tao was turning her back on her. So Su Banxia decided not to give her any face anymore.

"You say I've ruined the Su family's reputation? We've already separated from the Su family, so no matter what, it won't ruin your reputation. It's your eldest son's family that's causing trouble all the time. One minute my uncle brings back a pregnant mistress, the next minute your marriage keeps going wrong..."

Before Su Banxia could finish speaking, Qin Shi hurriedly slapped her thigh and said:

"Su Banxia, ​​you little bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? This is our family business, how dare you gossip about it?"

Su Banxia was not afraid of the Qin family, she just snorted coldly.

"What? Your entire family can do such a thing, but we can't even say anything about it? I was trying to save face for you, but you didn't want it. You only want me to tear things apart and say something!"

Then, Su Banxia said to Uncle Niu:

"Uncle Niu, stop the car. Don't pick up Su Tao and the others. I'm annoyed by them. I'll give you the money for their ride. Just kick them both off the car!"

Su Tao's face flushed red with anger when she heard Su Banxia say that.

“We paid money, why can’t we ride in the carriage?”

As she spoke, Su Tao pointed at Su Banxia's nose and cursed:

"Su Banxia, ​​don't take my kindness for granted. Do you think Uncle Niu is your servant? You think you can just tell him to stop the car whenever you want? Humph, I'm going to ride in this oxcart today, let's see what you can do to me!"

Seeing this, Madam Qin, standing to the side, also put her hands on her hips and said:

"Yes, Su Banxia, ​​don't push your luck. Even if your second branch of the family has separated, you are still a member of the Su family. I'll see how your grandmother deals with you when I get back!"
