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

Seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly spoke up:

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Su Banxia nodded, unaware that she had grown accustomed to Wei Kezhi escorting her home every day.

When the two passed by Aunt Wu's house, Su Banxia saw that the gate was ajar, presumably someone was waiting for her, so she knocked on the door and pushed it open to go inside.

Fifth Aunt was busy cooking in the kitchen when she saw Su Banxia arrive. She quickly put down the spatula and came out to greet her.

"Banxia, ​​you're back. Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

Su Banxia handed over the medicine packet she was holding.

"No need to trouble you, Aunt Wu. Wei Kezhi and I have already eaten in the city, so we're not hungry yet. After dinner tonight, I'll brew the medicine for Gousheng. He'll be better after seven days of taking it. I'll come to give Gousheng acupuncture every day for the next few days, and then he'll slowly recover."

Fifth Aunt took the medicine packet, and tears streamed down her face again.

"Banxia, ​​don't worry, your fifth aunt will always remember your kindness, and she will definitely repay this money to you."

Su Banxia patted Fifth Aunt's hand to comfort her:

"Fifth Aunt, just use it without worry, there's no rush to pay it back. You go and cook first, I'll go inside and give Gousheng his acupuncture."

Su Banxia had just entered the house when Wei Kezhi followed her in. Su Banxia turned around, glanced at him, and said:

"You can go back now, I don't need your help here."

Wei Kezhi remained standing there, refusing to leave.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll leave after I take you back to the hospital. It's still early."

Seeing this, Gou Sheng chuckled and said:

"Sister Banxia, ​​is this your brother-in-law? He's so good to you."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia quickly patted Gou Sheng's forehead.

"Gousheng, you mustn't talk nonsense. This is Wei Kezhi, my friend."

Upon hearing Gou Sheng's words, Wei Kezhi's impression of him improved considerably. She simply smiled at him from behind Su Banxia.

While giving Gou Sheng acupuncture, Su Banxia said:

"Gousheng, in a few days, after my house is finished, I plan to go to the city market to do some small business. You've been running around with the caravans all day, so you must know the tricks of the trade. Why don't you come and work with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gou Sheng's eyes lit up.

"Okay, Sister Banxia, ​​if you need my help, just let me know. I'll do whatever you say!"

After Su Banxia finished giving Gou Sheng acupuncture, she patted his blanket and smiled:

"Okay, wait for my news. I'll let you know when I've made all the preparations."

After saying this, he went out to say goodbye to his fifth aunt, and then left with Wei Kezhi.

As soon as they left the hospital, Wei Kezhi anxiously spoke up:

"If you want to do business, why don't you invite me to come along? I don't need wages, just provide me with food and lodging!"

Su Banxia turned around and gave him a coquettish look.

"Do you even need to say it? As my little brother, of course you have to follow my lead. Just do whatever I tell you to do."

After saying that, Su Banxia waved her hand at Wei Kezhi.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should head back now to avoid the dangers of going up the mountain."

Wei Kezhi smiled and nodded at Su Banxia, ​​watched her enter the courtyard, and then turned and went up the mountain.

The next day,

As soon as Su Banxia got up, she saw Su Tao excitedly pulling her best friend into the yard.

"Da Ya, come quickly and help me check if anything is missing from the dowry my grandma prepared for me?"

Daya smiled at Su Tao.

"What's the use of showing me this? I'm still an unmarried young woman, how would I know anything about these things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Su Banxia coming out of the second room, so he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Su Tao, as the older sister, you've found such a good marriage. Aren't you just going to make others jealous for no reason?"

As she spoke, the young woman couldn't help but glance sideways at Su Banxia.

Seeing this, Su Tao immediately understood and hurriedly spoke up in a sarcastic tone:

"Da Ya, some people can't be jealous even if they want to, after all, their marriages aren't settled yet, hahaha."

Daya laughed when she heard this.

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"Hey, Su Tao, it's time for you now. Have you settled Liu Qing'er's matter?"

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Su Tao's expression froze. Seeing this, Daya, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up:

"What did you say, Liu Qing'er? Who is Liu Qing'er?"

Seeing this, Su Tao quickly tugged at Da Ya's arm, then glared at Su Banxia.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Mind your own business. You're getting on in years and no one's come to propose. Do you really think you're some kind of hot commodity?"

Su Banxia didn't even glance at Su Tao.

"I don't think of myself as a hot commodity, but you shouldn't get too cocky."

After saying that, Su Banxia went to her fifth aunt's house without looking back.

Su Tao and Da Ya watched Su Banxia's retreating figure, their faces flushed with anger. Da Ya grabbed Su Tao and dragged her into the house.

“Su Tao, let’s ignore him. Why are you getting angry with someone like her? Didn’t you want me to see your dowry? Come on, show it to me.”

Su Tao forced a smile at Daya and then led her to show off her dowry.

The noise in the Su family's courtyard had barely subsided when Aunt Cai burst in excitedly.

"Second brother's wife, is anyone home? Is anyone there?"

Aunt Cai knocked on the door of the second room and Su Shiyan came out to open it.

"Aunt Cai, what brings you here?"

Aunt Cai patted Su Shiyan on the shoulder and smiled:

"Oh my, you must be the eldest son of the second wife's family. Look how tall this boy has grown! You're not married yet, are you? Aunt Cai will find you a good girl later. Is your mother home?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan blushed instantly, then stepped aside and called into the house:

"Mom, Aunt Cai is here to see you!"

Hearing this, Wang Guihua, who was tidying up the house, suddenly remembered what Su Mo had said to her that day. Her heart tightened, and she quickly put down the broom and went out to greet the guest.

"Oh dear, Aunt Cai, what brings you here today? Come on in."

As Wang Guihua spoke, she welcomed Aunt Cai inside.

"Shi Yan, quickly go and brew a pot of tea."

Aunt Cai quickly grabbed Wang Guihua's arm and said with a smile:

“Guihua, don’t bother. I just came here today to talk to you. You see, even though I’ve been to your house so many times, we haven’t really sat down to talk much.”

Wang Guihua smiled.

"That's right, I'm always busy with my own things. I was just thinking that once we move to the foot of the dwarf, I'll invite you over for a visit."

Aunt Cai took the teacup that Su Shiyan handed her.

"Haha, we sisters are really on the same wavelength. It's better to come early than late. I'm here today specifically for your Su Mo's marriage."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua's face stiffened, she sat up straight, and then smiled and said:

“There’s no rush for Su Mo’s marriage. Her older brother hasn’t gotten married yet, so there’s no reason for her to get married first.”
