When Qin saw Su Hanzhang return, she hurriedly stepped forward and said unhappily:

"I'm telling you, as parents, you should really do something about that brat Su Banxia. Do you even know what she said about our entire family in front of everyone today?"

As she spoke, Qin glared at Wang Guihua, who was standing behind Su Hanzhang.

"I never expected that a mother as timid as you would give birth to such a formidable girl. If we don't discipline her, she might spread all the shameful things about our Su family."

Madam Qin glanced at Su Shiyan and Su Mo again, then turned to Su Hanzhang and said:

"I'm not talking behind your back, but there are still three unmarried women in your family."

As she spoke, Qin proudly tilted her head back.

“My Su Tao isn’t afraid. Besides, she’s already said she’ll marry my son-in-law next month. Your Su Banxia has no sense of propriety and dares to say anything. I’m afraid she’ll end up harming your second wife’s child!”

Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang frowned and said:

"My Banxia is a smart child, she won't go around saying things like that."

Seeing that Su Hanzhang, who usually always spoke up for the Su family, was now defending Su Banxia, ​​Qin Shi was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.

"I don't know if Su Banxia is smart or not, but I saw with my own eyes today that she spoke ill of our eldest son's family in front of everyone, and she even forced Su Tao and me off the oxcart, making us walk back!"

As she spoke, Madam Qin bent down and rubbed her ankle.

"It's been so long, and my ankle is still swollen!"

Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua exchanged a glance, then looked at Qin Shi and said:

"If Banxia has done anything inappropriate today, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Seeing that Su Hanzhang had softened his tone, Qin Shi began to press the matter relentlessly.

"What's the use of your apology? I'm telling you to discipline this child properly. If she kills someone in the future, will your apology on her behalf be of any use?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang frowned.

"Sister-in-law, you are Banxia's aunt, you must not speak recklessly. How could our Banxia, ​​a perfectly good girl, commit murder?"

Qin snorted coldly.

"Hmph, you never know!"

Seeing that Qin Shi was relentless, Su Hanzhang said coldly:

“Our Banxia is the most sensible. If she makes you unhappy, it must be because you provoked her first.”

Seeing that Su Hanzhang was finally willing to stand up for her daughter, Wang Guihua grew bolder and echoed him:

"That's right, our Banxia is completely different now. I think the most promising child in the Su family in the future is our Banxia!"

Hearing her mother praising Su Banxia like that, Su Mo, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel displeased and said:

“My eldest sister is no pushover. Perhaps she really did something wrong, and it’s only right that my aunt disciplines her.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan quickly tugged at Su Mo's arm and whispered:

"Little sister, how can you take your aunt's side? Banxia is your own sister, how can you not tell the difference between insiders and outsiders?"

Upon hearing Su Shiyan's words, Su Mo snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Qin said:

"I think Su Mo is the only sensible person in your second wife's family now! Besides, whether Su Banxia is capable or not depends on how well she marries. If she doesn't have a good husband, no matter how capable she is, it will all be for nothing!"

Seeing that Qin Shi's words implied she didn't wish her daughter any well, Wang Guihua retorted unhappily:

"You don't need to worry about my family's affairs. Just take care of your own daughter!"

After saying that, he pulled Su Hanzhang into the house without looking back, and Su Shiyan followed suit.

Su Banxia had overheard the entire conversation outside from inside the house, and she was now very pleased with the changes in her parents.

She had thought that Su Hanzhang, provoked by Qin Shi, would come looking for trouble again, but to her surprise, Su Hanzhang stood firmly on her side without even asking any questions this time.

It seems that Su Hanzhang, who was so dense, has finally come to his senses. No matter how good he is to others, they won't remember his kindness. But if he's good to Su Banxia, ​​she'll really spend money on him.

When Su Banxia saw Wang Guihua enter the room, she quickly pulled her to sit down.

"Mother, I went to the market today and bought you a new outfit. You've been wearing patched and tattered clothes for so many years, it makes me feel bad. Go and change so I can see if it fits."

When Wang Guihua heard that Su Banxia had bought her a new outfit, her first reaction was happiness that her daughter remembered her when she went out. Then, she glanced at Su Hanzhang somewhat guiltily.

After all, she hadn't bought any new clothes since marrying Su Hanzhang, and the patched-up clothes she was wearing were brought from her parents' home.

At this moment, Su Banxia actually bought herself a ready-made outfit. Wang Guihua thought that Su Hanzhang, who was usually so frugal, would definitely scold her for being extravagant. After all, Banxia had never bought clothes for her mother-in-law before, but now she was enjoying herself first.

Su Hanzhang met Wang Guihua's timid gaze, and glanced at the old clothes she was wearing. He couldn't help but curse himself inwardly for being heartless.

Wang Guihua has been with him for so many years, and he never even noticed that her clothes were so tattered.

Before the family split up, Wang Guihua would secretly do some needlework and sell it to supplement the family income. Wang Guihua thought that the men needed to have decent clothes when they went out.

Therefore, no matter how difficult things were at home, the two men, Su Shiyan and Su Hanzhang, always had new clothes to wear every year.

Even so, Su Hanzhang would still scold Wang Guihua and Granny Liu for being scheming, and only when Wang Guihua sent all the money she earned to Granny Liu would she be satisfied.

Looking back on his past self, Su Hanzhang realizes he was truly a scoundrel, only knowing how to be nice to outsiders while neglecting his wife and children.

So at that moment, Su Hanzhang smiled at Wang Guihua.

“Our daughter knows how to be filial to you, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and change into it so we can see it.”

Wang Guihua looked at Su Hanzhang with some surprise for a moment before realizing what was happening, and quickly said with a smile:

"Okay, Banxia, ​​come over here and help me change and take a look."

Su Banxia smiled and went to the kang (heated brick bed) with Wang Guihua to change her clothes.

A moment later, Wang Guihua peeked out from behind the curtain and said shyly:

"The clothes Banxia bought me are really beautiful, and they fit me perfectly."

Su Hanzhang looked at Wang Guihua with tender eyes and smiled:

"Come down quickly so we can see it too."

Su Banxia pulled back the curtain from behind and saw that Wang Guihua, who usually dressed simply, was wearing a dark purple dress today, as if she were a completely different person, which stunned Su Hanzhang.
