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

So Su Banxia no longer treated Erzhuzi like an outsider, and she ordered him around without any hesitation. But the more Su Banxia treated Erzhuzi this way, the more...

This made Erzhuzi feel very at ease and warm, as if he were experiencing the feeling of home that he hadn't felt in a long time.

After everyone worked together to unload the goods from the truck and carry them into the house, Su Banxia, ​​as usual, gave the team leader money for tea and told him to leave first.

Before leaving, the team leader asked, seemingly casually,

"Miss Su, your house is beautifully renovated. You must organize a proper housewarming party. Have you set a date yet?"

Su Banxia replied casually,

“It’s settled. My mother consulted with villagers for three days and said that day would be an auspicious day for the relocation.”

The team leader nodded perfunctorily.

"Yes, yes, a good day, a good day. I'll be going now, you guys keep busy."

After having Wei Kezhi see the team leader off, Su Banxia took out wild vegetables and pork to make a pot of dumplings. This way, she could share some with Wei Kezhi and Erzhuzi to take back and eat, as Su Banxia was always worried that they would go hungry.

After the wild vegetable buns were cooked, Su Banxia took the chicks to the chicken coop in the backyard and placed them one by one into the straw chicken coop she had prepared beforehand.

Su Banxia first fed the chicks well water from her spatial storage. To her surprise, the listless chicks perked up immediately after drinking the water and started eating the hot chicken feed Su Banxia had given them.

Seeing this, Su Banxia felt slightly relieved. Saving the chicks was a good thing, so she built a bamboo fence around the chicken coop.

After settling the chicks in, I felt relieved enough to go to the front yard to prepare the food and call everyone for dinner.

After everyone finished eating, Su Banxia started clearing the dishes. By the time she finished tidying up the yard, it was already getting dark. Su Banxia divided the steamed buns into two portions and gave them to Erzhuzi and Wei Kezhi.

"Erzhuzi, take these buns. You've worked hard these past few days. We've finished all the chores at home, so you don't need to come over every day anymore."

Upon hearing this, Erzhuzi's face immediately turned red, and he said anxiously:

"I...did I do something wrong, Banxia? I don't want this bun. I can work, and I don't need wages. I can eat less. Did I eat too much...?"

Seeing Erzhuzi's appearance, Su Banxia quickly spoke up:

"Erzhuzi, what are you saying? I just saw that you've been working too hard these past few days, so I'm letting you rest at home for a few days. Once I've figured out what kind of business I want to do, I'll have you come and work as my long-term laborer!"

Erzhuzi had initially thought Su Banxia was disgusted with him, but hearing her say this, his tense mood immediately calmed down.

"Alright, Banxia, ​​I'll do whatever you say. Just call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, Erzhuzi left happily.

Seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly stepped forward to take her share of steamed buns and said with a smile:

"Banxia, ​​it just so happens that I'm out of dry food at home, so I won't go hungry now."

Su Banxia glared at him reproachfully.

"If I don't cook for you, are you going to starve to death?"

Wei Kezhi smiled and scratched his head.

"It's all because your cooking is so delicious. I can't stand eating anything else anymore."

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

"I'm going back with my elder brother today, you go first."

Wei Kezhi glanced at Su Shiyan, who was busy packing, then looked at Su Banxia and said:

"Okay, then be careful and don't go back too late."

After saying that, he took the steamed buns and left il.

Su Banxia and Su Shiyan tidied up the yard again, checked both the front and back gates, and then left with peace of mind. When they arrived at the Su family home, they saw the three members of the second branch of the family still kneeling in front of Granny Liu's door.

Su Banxia and Su Shiyan exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly. Fortunately, Su Banxia had brought back the leftovers from lunch.

They had planned that Wang Guihua wouldn't have time to cook dinner, so they could just heat up the leftovers and eat them. It seems good that they brought them back; maybe the three of them hadn't eaten anything all day.

Su Banxia handed the food box to Su Shiyan.

"Brother, go inside and heat up the food. I'll go and try to persuade our parents."

Su Shiyan took the food box, sighed helplessly, and went inside.

Su Banxia walked to Wang Guihua's side and said:

“Father, Mother, what’s the use of kneeling like this? My grandmother will never agree to Su Mo’s engagement. Even if you kneel until you faint at her door, she won’t care. Our housewarming party is in a few days. If you ruin your health now, then all our efforts over the past few months will have been for nothing.”

As she spoke, Su Banxia made a gesture to help Wang Guihua up.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo suddenly cried out.

"Su Banxia, ​​how cruel you are! You're so sure Grandma won't marry you off to Su Feng, and now that I've been harmed like this, are you so eager to stop my parents from standing up for me?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Wang Guihua, who had been about to get up, gritted her teeth, avoided Su Banxia's hand, and lowered her head.

Su Banxia frowned helplessly upon seeing this.

"Su Mo, stop your nonsense. I'm just stating the facts. You've been kneeling here all day. What good has it done besides making a fool of yourselves? The person inside hasn't even bothered to come out!"

As she spoke, Su Banxia looked at Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang.

“You are Su Mo’s parents, and I understand that you love your daughter dearly. However, the methods you are using are wrong. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. If I were you, I would rather just smash down this door and rob the money out of the house!”

Having said that, Su Banxia was too lazy to care about the three of them anymore. Let them kneel if they wanted to. Anyway, she had made her point. It was impossible to influence someone like Granny Liu. When necessary, she could only resort to some tough measures.

Su Hanzhang glanced at Wang Guihua and Su Mo kneeling there, then at the door to his parents' room. He gritted his teeth, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

He was afraid that if he went too far today, he would be branded as unfilial. He had already separated from his parents long ago, and if word got out that he had disobeyed them, he would lose all face in Sujia Village.

With her three children all reaching marriageable age, if the second wife, who had been honest her whole life, were to do something outrageous at this time, others would say that she had been faking it all along, and probably no one would want to marry into her family.

Thinking this, Su Hanzhang's eyes reddened, and she stared intently at Granny Liu's door, shouting:

"Mother, I beg you, please return the one tael of silver betrothal gift this time. I'll go out and earn some money later, and then I'll give you that one tael of silver. You can then go and break off the engagement with Su Feng's family!"
