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

Su Hanzhang pushed open the door and went inside, where he saw Granny Liu eating meat with Old Man Su.

Startled by Su Hanzhang suddenly opening the door, Granny Liu, who hadn't swallowed a bite of meat, coughed so hard she couldn't speak for a long time. Her face turned red, and she looked like she was about to run out of breath. Old Man Su quickly handed Granny Liu some water.

Su Hanzhang didn't hesitate either. He went straight up and patted Liu Pozi's back hard for a while before finally dislodging the piece of fat that was stuck in Liu Pozi's throat.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Su Hanzhang glanced helplessly at the elderly couple and sighed as well.

"Father and Mother, the Su family is doing better and better these days, so why haven't you two gotten rid of your habit of stealing food?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Su blushed and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"No, I didn't steal any food. I was tired from working today and ate dinner early, so I was hungry again and your mother made me some food separately."

Granny Liu glared at Su Hanzhang and said impatiently:

"It's this late, what are you and your wife doing here to cause trouble?"

Su Hanzhang went straight to the table, sat down, and looked at Granny Liu earnestly, asking:

"What exactly is going on with Su Feng? Why did he come to our courtyard today, immediately calling Guihua 'mother-in-law' and saying that he and Su Mo have already set their wedding date?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's face stiffened, and then she spoke:

"Oh, that matter, I forgot to tell you. A few days ago, Aunt Cai brought Su Feng and her mother to my house to finalize the marriage between Su Mo and Su Feng. I also accepted the betrothal gift of one tael of silver."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Mother, how could you arrange Su Mo's marriage without telling us? How could you accept their betrothal gifts?"

Granny Liu glared at Wang Guihua, then said in a nonchalant tone:

“I’m her grandmother. If you parents can’t stand by and watch this important matter, then I have to make the decision for you!”

As she spoke, Granny Liu turned around and glared at Su Hanzhang, saying unhappily:

"What? Su Feng only gave one tael of silver as a betrothal gift, and you still want it back? Let me tell you, second brother, even though you came from my womb, you should still be filial to me after we separated from the family. Just look at how many of you have lived in the Su family for so long now, you should give me one tael of silver for rent!"

Having said that, he stood up with a cold face and said:

"What time is it? Your father and I are old and frail, we can't take this kind of commotion. Get back to your room and don't keep me from sleeping!"

As she spoke, she reached out and shoved Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua. The two were pushed and shoved out of the house by Granny Liu, and then they looked at each other helplessly and went back to the second room together.

As soon as the two entered the house, Su Mo grabbed their hands and asked:

"Father, Mother, how is it? What did Grandma say?"

Wang Guihua glanced at Su Mo and sighed deeply.

“Daughter, Su Feng did indeed say something today. Your grandmother secretly accepted a tael of silver as a betrothal gift and agreed to your marriage with Su Feng.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately screamed in terror:

"Mother, didn't you say you would never let me marry Su Feng? Father, didn't you say my grandmother's decision didn't count? Are you really going to push me into a fire pit for a mere tael of silver as a dowry?"

Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly comforted her:

"Good girl, don't worry. I never said I was going to marry you off. I'll think of something tomorrow. Your grandparents are asleep now, so we can't make a fuss."

Su Mo glanced coldly at Wang Guihua.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, Su Feng is coming to pick up the bride in an oxcart tomorrow. You still have to wait until tomorrow to figure out a way? Father and mother, I really trusted you wrongly. I never thought that you two, who have been cowards your whole lives, would be controlled by my grandmother when it comes to my important life event. Ha, I don't know why I am so unlucky to have parents like you!"

Su Hanzhang, listening from the side, felt heartbroken and shouted out.

"Enough, Su Mo. Your mother said she'll go talk to your grandmother tomorrow. She'll just persuade your grandmother to return the one tael of silver betrothal gift and ask Aunt Cai to mediate. That way, the matter will be over. Why are you so stubborn?"

Su Mo murmured expressionlessly:

"Since you're not the ones who're going to marry Su Feng, of course you're not in a hurry. But if Su Feng were to marry Su Banxia today, would you still be so calm?"

Lying in bed, Su Banxia heard Su Mo trying to pull her along again, and said coldly:

"I'm not as reckless as you, going out of your way to provoke scum like Su Feng. You've brought this situation to this point on your own, so don't try to drag me into it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo turned to look in Su Banxia's direction.

"Ha, do you think I wanted to provoke Su Feng? I was clearly targeted by him. What did I do wrong that God is treating me like this?"

As she spoke, Su Mo rushed to Su Banxia's bedside like a madwoman, yanked off her blanket, and shouted:

"Didn't you have money to build a house for the second wife? Didn't you have money to entertain guests and buy furniture? Now that I'm in such a big mess, you don't even offer to help me return the one or two taels of silver betrothal gift to Su Feng. Can you really bear to watch your younger sister jump into a fire pit?"

Su Banxia had initially intended to remain indifferent and observe, but now that Su Mo had shamelessly latched onto her, she was determined not to tolerate such behavior.

Su Banxia snatched the blanket from Su Mo's hands and angrily said:

"Stop causing trouble. I told you on the day of the roof-raising banquet that I would no longer acknowledge you as my sister, nor would I help you in the slightest. Now you've ended up like this, isn't it all your own doing?"

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Su Mo froze and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly stepped forward to offer some words of comfort.

"Alright, stop crying so late at night. If you wake them up, they'll laugh at you."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua turned to Su Banxia and said reproachfully:

"You, Banxia, ​​are not acting like an older sister at all. Your sister is in such a predicament, and she is heartbroken. Her words, whether light or heavy, are bound to be unpleasant to hear. Why do you have to hold it against her? How can you disregard sisterly affection?"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia coldly replied:

“Mother, my sisterly bond with her was destroyed by her repeated schemes. If Su Feng doesn’t marry Su Mo today, then he might marry me instead. Su Mo knows that Su Feng likes her, but she keeps pushing me towards him and creating all sorts of coincidences to make Su Feng take advantage of me and ruin my reputation.”

At this point, Su Banxia paused, staring intently at Wang Guihua.

"Mother, if it were you, would you still accept a sister like this?"
