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

Lin urged:

"Oh, don't worry about it. You're brothers after all. If we don't step in when things get out of hand, people will say we're cold-blooded and heartless behind our backs."

Su Qingsong got out of bed and heard the sounds of fighting outside. He was about to get dressed and go out to see what was happening when Lin Shi scolded him.

"Why are you joining in this? You're too young; you'll only get beaten up if you go out. Listen to me, stay inside and don't go anywhere!"

Su Qingsong, who had originally intended to get up and watch the commotion, had no choice but to reluctantly crawl back into bed after hearing Lin's words.

Lin picked up a wooden stick from inside the house and handed it to Su Congxian.

“From now on, remember this: if the fighting outside gets too intense, just stand by and bluff. If you need to run, then run. Don’t get serious. Otherwise, if you get beaten up by those young punks for no reason, it won’t sound good to others.”

Su Congxian took the wooden stick, frowning helplessly.

"So, should I fight or not?"

Lin patted his body and scolded him playfully:

"Just put on a show, that'll do. At least we need to make the second branch of the family thank us today!"

Su Congxian nodded and pushed open the door to leave.

"Let's see who dares to bully my second brother!"

Although his voice was loud, his steps were slow and leisurely.

Hearing Su Congxian's movements from inside the house, Qin's heart tightened. She opened the window and looked out, seeing no sound from Su Ye's room, and couldn't help but curse:

"The big brother has become a coward now. Where is the ability he used to have to deal with me?"

As she spoke, Madam Qin turned to look at Su Congxian, her face filled with satisfaction:

"Leaving aside whether the second wife's family is worth helping because they are despicable, just look at the third brother's temperament. He is a kind and righteous person, so he stepped forward to help his second brother."

Su Banxia was somewhat shocked to see Su Congxian carrying a stick as he came out of the third house.

She had intended to call Su Ye for help, but Su Ye simply closed the window, so she knew that he didn't want to get involved in the second wife's affairs.

Su Banxia had thought that someone as impatient and hot-tempered as Su Ye wouldn't get involved, and Su Congxian from the third branch of the family, who was always like mud, would certainly not meddle in other people's business.

It was truly unexpected that the first person from the Su family to rush out was Su Congxian. Regardless of whether he had any offensive capabilities, it was still good that he could come out and make an appearance. Today, Su Banxia really gave the third branch of the family a higher opinion of him.

Just as everyone was in the midst of a brawl, someone suddenly kicked open the door to the second room, followed by a gasp of surprise.

"Aaaaaah, someone's dead! The bride hanged herself!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the second wife's room, where they saw Su Mo hanging from the rafters, her tongue lolling out, her face deathly pale.

Upon seeing this, Wang Guihua burst into tears:

"Oh dear, my daughter, why would you be so foolish!"

Upon seeing this, Su Hanzhang quickly dropped the broom and rushed in, working together with Su Shiyan to lift the person down.

Su Feng stood there stunned in shock. He had thought that he could marry Su Mo and live a good life with her, but he never expected that Su Mo would hang herself to avoid marrying him.

Seeing that no one had reacted yet, Su Banxia quickly stepped forward and called out:

"Fine, you bunch of scum, I'm going to take you all to court! You drove Su Mo to her death, and you'll all have to pay with your lives!"

Upon hearing this, the wedding party members were so frightened that they ran outside.

"It's none of my business!"

"It's none of my business, don't come looking for me!"

"That's right, it wasn't me who married her, so what does her death have to do with me!"

"Brother Su Feng, what are you still standing there for? Aren't you afraid of bad luck? Run!"

The group of people, who had been so confident, no longer dared to cause trouble in the Su family's courtyard when they realized that someone had actually died. They hurriedly pushed and dragged Su Feng away.

Su Hanzhang carried Su Mo to the bed, reached under her nose to check her temperature, and hurriedly called out:

"Banxia, ​​she's still breathing! Come quickly and save your sister!"

Su Banxia turned her head and met Wang Guihua's pleading gaze. Her heart softened immediately, and she strode inside. No matter what, it was a human life, and she really couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

Su Banxia walked to Su Mo's bedside, pinched her philtrum, and forcefully woke her up.

"Cough cough cough, get away from me, I don't need you to save me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia glanced coldly at Su Mo and then got up and left. Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly called out to her:

"Hey, Banxia, ​​Banxia, ​​don't hold a grudge against your sister. Look, she's still alright."

Su Banxia completely ignored Wang Guihua and left without looking back. After all, Su Mo didn't need her to save her, so there was no need for her to rush to help her. Besides, Su Mo was awake now and was just barely hanging on to life.

Seeing Su Banxia leave without looking back, Wang Guihua sighed helplessly and sat down beside Su Mo's bed.

"You child, you're always picking on your sister. What's wrong with you? She's had a hard life too. She was protecting you outside just now."

Thinking of what had just happened, Su Mo quickly grabbed Wang Guihua's hand and excitedly asked:

"Mother, Su Feng, where did Su Feng go? Has he left?"

Wang Guihua looked at Su Mo with heartache, then took her hand in hers.

“Good girl, don’t be afraid. Su Feng has already left with his men. Our housewarming party is in a few days. Your father and I have already discussed it. As soon as the party is over, your father will take your older brother to the city to work. Once they’ve earned a tael of silver, your mother will break off the engagement for you. We don’t care about his betrothal gifts.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo frowned, released Wang Guihua's hand, and said impatiently:

“Su Banxia clearly has money to help me, but she just refuses to spend any. Isn’t she just plotting and waiting to see me make a fool of myself? How long will it take my father and I to earn back this one or two taels of silver when we go out to work?”

As she spoke, Su Mo looked at Wang Guihua with concern.

"What if Su Feng causes trouble again?"

Wang Guihua sighed.

"This is the only way we can repay the betrothal gifts right now."

Su Hanzhang, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"Yes, just listen to your mother, stay home and rest, and don't quarrel with your sister anymore. She has already sacrificed enough for our second branch of the family, so don't keep thinking about the money in her hands."

As she spoke, Su Hanzhang also sighed.

"Now that the house is built, so many workers have been hired, so much new furniture and household items have been purchased, and there are also banquets to be held. All of this will cost a lot of money."

Su Hanzhang glared helplessly at Su Mo, who was lying on the bed.

"You think your sister is a treasure trove, with money flowing in endlessly?"

Su Mo snorted coldly.

"I don't know her well enough. Even if she had money, she wouldn't help me."
