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

Su Banxia watched Qin's performance quietly, a slight smile playing on her lips, looking completely calm and composed.

Already in a bad mood from the third wife's antics, Granny Liu heard Qin's instigation at the door and immediately got up, put on her shoes, and went outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Su Banxia standing smiling at him in the doorway of the second room. He couldn't help but frown.

"Su Banxia, ​​I'm still your grandmother, how come I've never seen you send me a single ounce of pork as a token of your respect?"

Su Banxia sneered.

"You've been my mother for all these years, have you ever given me even a single ounce of pork?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu was speechless for a moment, and pointed at Su Banxia's nose, cursing weakly:

"You traitorous wretch! I've raised you for nothing all these years. I've never given you pork. Did Uncle Niu give you meat?"

Su Banxia glanced at her disdainfully.

"You'd better understand that all these years, it's been our second wife's family who's been supporting you all these parasites. Although Uncle Niu has never given me pork, Tie Niu did the hard work when our house was built! Did you, as the nanny, ever contribute a single bit?"

At this moment, Granny Liu felt her blood rushing to her head. She really couldn't understand how Su Banxia had become so sharp-tongued.

"Stop talking nonsense! Although I've separated from you, your uncle hasn't. I've seen him helping you with chores every day these past few days!"

Su Banxia said sarcastically:

"So you know you've separated from us? Since you've separated, don't covet our second branch's things. Also, my uncle went to help us with the work, and I gave him pork a long time ago, but it still ended up in your stomach!"

"You, you, you little brat, you're going to drive me crazy!"

Seeing this, Qin quickly tried to soothe Liu Pozi, and whispered something in her ear.

“Mother, I saw Su Banxia go to town today and buy a lot of food. I didn’t expect her to be so stingy, not sending any of it over.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's eyes widened in anger, and her heart ached slightly with rage.

“I ate the meat that your eldest uncle brought me; that was a tribute from him. What tribute have you second branch of the family ever given me!”

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia couldn't resist having a serious argument with Granny Liu. She stood directly in front of Granny Liu, staring intently at her, and said coldly:

“If you continue to lie and say that our second branch of the family hasn’t been filial to you, then you’ve lived this long in vain. Before we separated from the family, we did all the dirty and hard work, big and small things. Now that we’ve separated, we haven’t given you a single penny, and you’re complaining that we’re not filial.”

Su Banxia was already a head taller than Granny Liu, and now that she was staring intently at Granny Liu, Granny Liu's imposing manner immediately diminished.

Seeing that Granny Liu was keeping her lips tightly pressed together and not speaking, Su Banxia took another step forward and looked down at Granny Liu.

"You can only say this in our yard. If it really gets out, wouldn't the people of Sujia Village say you're a heartless old woman!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu took a few steps back, pointed at Su Banxia, ​​and cursed:

"Get lost. I get annoyed just looking at your unlucky face. Even if we've separated, your second branch should still be filial to me. Bring half of the food you bought today to my room, and I won't hold it against a junior like you."

Su Banxia stared wide-eyed innocently at Qin Shi, then at Granny Liu, and asked in confusion:

"Grandma, who told you I went to the market to buy food today? You know we're busy building a house right now, where would I get the money to buy food? If you really care about our second branch of the family, give us some money to help out. After all, you just received over ten taels of silver when my aunt got married, didn't you?"

Upon hearing that Su Banxia was eyeing her money, Granny Liu hurriedly spoke up with a nervous expression:

"Stop talking nonsense. We've already separated. How could I possibly give you any more money!"

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"You're right, we've already separated, how could I possibly give you pork again?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia glanced at Qin Shi standing beside her and said leisurely:

"Grandma, don't be taken advantage of and still be counting money for them. I didn't buy anything at the market today, and you're questioning me just because someone said something out of thin air?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu turned and looked at Madam Qin suspiciously. Seeing this, Madam Qin quickly explained:

“Mother, Su Tao and I both saw it. She bought a lot of food and new clothes.”

As she spoke, Madam Qin pointed at Su Banxia and looked closely. Su Banxia was not wearing any new clothes at all. She was just wearing the patched clothes she usually wore for working.

Granny Liu clearly noticed this as well, and frowned as she looked at Madam Qin.

"Stop gossiping about me. By the way, what did you buy at the market today? Show me the list, and return the rest of the money to me!"

Upon hearing this, Qin swallowed hard. Why was she so unlucky? She had thought she could pocket the money left over from the market trip, but her mother-in-law had brought it up again.

It's all my fault for having such a big mouth; I should never have mentioned Su Banxia to Granny Liu.

Now, not only did Granny Liu not help her vent her anger, but she also wanted to take back the remaining silver. At present, she dared not resist Granny Liu, after all, Su Tao's dowry still depended entirely on Granny Liu to handle.

Having thought this through, Qin could only lower her head and nod obediently to Granny Liu.

"Mother, I understand. I'll bring it to you in a bit, but Su Banxia..."

Granny Liu knew she couldn't win an argument with Su Banxia right now. Her tailbone, which Su Banxia had shattered at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, was still throbbing with pain, and she wasn't willing to invite trouble again.

So, without waiting for Qin to finish speaking, he turned and walked straight into the house.

"You should just mind your own business and stop making the eldest son help that ungrateful wretch. You should be busy with your own farm work!"

Seeing that Granny Liu was unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the second branch of the family, Qin had no choice but to nod in agreement. However, her hatred for Su Banxia grew even stronger, and she couldn't help but turn her head and glare fiercely at Su Banxia.

Su Banxia nonchalantly made a face at Qin Shi, then turned and went back into the house. Qin Shi, seeing this, stomped her feet in anger and pointed at Su Banxia's retreating figure, cursing:

"You wretched little beast! Your parents don't care about you, but they'll make you suffer eventually. Just you wait!"

No sooner had Qin finished speaking than Su Hanzhang and the others returned from Dwarf Mountain. Seeing their relative pointing at the second wife's door and cursing her as a beast, they frowned.

"Sister-in-law, who are you angry with?"
