When Su Mo arrived at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, Wang Guihua was clearing weeds outside the yard with Su Banxia. Su Mo stepped forward and hugged Wang Guihua tightly, crying as she said:

"Mother, I don't want to marry Su Feng. I beg you, please don't agree to their marriage proposal. I beg you."

Wang Guihua was startled by her youngest daughter's sudden hug.

"My dear girl, what's wrong? Did that brat Su Feng bully you again?"

Wang Guihua turned around, wiping away Su Mo's tears while gently patting her back.

"Stop crying, it won't look good if someone sees you. Tell your mother what happened."

Su Banxia was too lazy to look at Su Mo's pretentious act, so she simply threw down the broom and went into the yard.

Su Mo glared at Su Banxia's retreating figure, then tightened her grip on Wang Guihua's hand.

"Mom, I ran into Aunt Sun today. She said she asked Aunt Cai to come to our house to arrange my marriage with Su Feng. She even said she's my future mother-in-law and ruined my reputation in front of all the villagers, boohoo..."

As she spoke, Su Mo began to sob softly again.

Wang Guihua frowned upon hearing this.

“Good girl, don’t cry. I never said I was going to marry you off to Su Feng. If Aunt Cai really comes to our house to propose this marriage, I will definitely kick her out. Don’t worry.”

Seeing how protective Wang Guihua was of her, Su Mo was deeply moved.

"Yes, Mother, you must not agree to Aunt Cai's proposal in a moment of confusion. I would rather die than marry Su Feng."

Wang Guihua patted Su Mo's head and said softly:

"Mother knows. Alright, wipe your tears and go inside to help your sister cook."

Su Mo nodded, then walked over to Su Banxia and glared at her.

"You've been enjoying watching me make a fool of myself, haven't you? Haven't you had enough?"

Su Mo's sudden question caught Su Banxia off guard.

"When have I ever given you a second glance? Stop making a big deal out of it, okay?"

Su Mo was speechless at Su Banxia's disdainful attitude. She slammed the spatula down while muttering to herself:

"I should have let you marry Su Feng, then you would have known how painful it would be..."

Although she spoke softly, Su Banxia heard her clearly and was startled. Could it be that her little sister had been planning this all along? This explained her strange behavior earlier.

Just as Su Banxia was about to scold Su Mo to wake her up, Wei Kezhi came down the mountain.

"Banxia, ​​look, I just went down the mountain and caught a wild rabbit and a pheasant. Let's have a special meal together today."

When Su Banxia saw that Wei Kezhi had brought meat, she immediately beamed with joy.

"Okay, you take care of it, I'll stew some meat for everyone later."

Seeing that Wei Kezhi had arrived but hadn't greeted her first, and hadn't even glanced at her, Su Mo quickly stepped forward, snatched the things from Wei Kezhi's hands, and said softly:

"Sister, Brother Wei has walked so far down the mountain, he must be exhausted by now. We've brought us meat, so how can we let him work?"

As she spoke, Su Mo turned to Wei Kezhi and said shyly:

"Brother Wei, go sit over there and rest for a while. I'll take care of these wild animals, and we'll be able to eat soon."

Wei Kezhi glanced at Su Mo, then at Su Banxia standing to the side with a half-smile, and quickly spoke up:

"Banxia, ​​shall I help you start the fire?"

Su Banxia smiled and glanced at Su Mo, then mimicked Su Mo's sarcastic tone and said:

"Oh dear, don't tire yourself out, Brother Wei, or your good sister will think I'm mistreating you."

Wei Kezhi sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Stop teasing me."

As he spoke, Wei Kezhi naturally sat down in front of the stove and began to help Su Banxia start the fire.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Mo blushed and went to pluck the fur from the rabbit and pheasant she was carrying.

At this moment, Su Mo vented all her anger on these two wild creatures. She wished she could skin Su Banxia alive to vent her anger.

Su Banxia was generous with the meat at lunchtime and cooked it all for everyone. Anyway, she still had plenty of fresh pork in her space to cook for everyone when the roof beam was raised tomorrow.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Tomorrow is the day we raise the roof beam of our house. Everyone can bring their wives and children to have a meal together, to make it lively and add some life to our little courtyard."

Everyone was overjoyed to see that not only did they receive wages for their work, but their families could also enjoy a good meal together.

"Banxia is such a proper girl."

"Yes, we already feel bad eating here every day, and now we have to bring our relatives too..."

"Banxia, ​​you're a good girl. I'll be the first to help you with any chores you need at home in the future!"

"Me too!"

"Yes, we all are!"

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"It's nothing, everyone, please eat. We'll need your help with things at home a lot in the future."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone resumed their meal with their heads down.

Looking at Su Banxia's appearance, Wei Kezhi's lips curled slightly. He realized that he, as the leader, did indeed have the aura of someone in charge, unlike the petty and narrow-minded nature of most women.

Su Banxia turned her head and met Wei Kezhi's approving gaze. Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly sat down and lowered her head to eat. She didn't know what was wrong with her lately, why she blushed so often.

After everyone finished eating, Su Banxia began preparing ingredients for tomorrow's roof-raising ceremony. Su Banxia planned to prepare food for ten tables tomorrow.

Each table has six dishes and one soup, with staple foods including whole-grain steamed buns, rice, and braised noodles, to satisfy everyone's different tastes.

The vegetables Su Banxia grew in her spatial storage and the pork she had previously stored could now be put to good use. Su Banxia and Wei Kezhi were so busy that they weren't finished even after everyone else had finished their work.

Wang Guihua originally intended to stay and help Su Banxia prepare, but Su Banxia felt sorry for Wang Guihua, who had helped carry bricks all day, so she asked the second branch of the family to go back first.

By the time she and Wei Kezhi finished their work, it was already completely dark. Wei Kezhi was worried about Su Banxia going back by herself, so she took her to the door of Old Su's house.

But just as the two reached the door, they heard rustling voices coming from behind the willow tree outside the Su family's house. Su Banxia frowned, looked at Wei Kezhi, and whispered:

"Everyone's asleep now, who can talk behind this big tree?"

Wei Kezhi frowned and shook his head.

Su Banxia couldn't help but grab Wei Kezhi's arm, and said nervously:

"Could it be that Su Feng is still not giving up and is trying to cause some trouble again?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi clenched his fists, rushed behind the willow tree, and grabbed the two people standing behind it...
