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

Su Hanzhang glanced at Wei Kezhi with great satisfaction, while Su Banxia said with a smile:

"Wei Kezhi, your pork delivery is just in time. In that case, let's eat fresh pork today."

Su Banxia didn't invite many people today, so preparing three tables of food would be enough. Two tables could fit in the main room, and another one in the courtyard.

Su Banxia had put a lot of thought into today's dishes. The meat dishes included sweet and sour pork ribs, cumin pork tenderloin, and braised pork belly. The vegetable dishes included stir-fried seasonal vegetables, braised eggplant, fried mushrooms, and vinegared cabbage. She also prepared a mixed fruit and old duck soup.

The dessert was the various kinds of candied hawthorns that Su Banxia made last night.

While Su Banxia was busy in the backyard, she was unaware that the Su family had arrived in the front yard. She saw Granny Liu leading Old Man Su and the others, empty-handed and looking quite menacing.

"Old woman, today is our son's housewarming party, you can't cause trouble!"

Granny Liu turned around and glared at Old Man Su.

“My son’s family is having such a big event, how can I, as his mother, manage without showing up? If I don’t show up today, won’t the villagers say that the second wife’s family is unfilial?”

Old Man Su wanted to say a few more words of advice, but after being yelled at like that by Granny Liu, he dared not say anything more and could only silently follow behind. Seeing this, Madam Qin quickly spoke up:

"That's right, our Su family needs a mother to keep things in order so things don't fall into chaos!"

Hearing this, Lin, who was standing nearby, turned her head away unhappily and muttered under her breath:

"You're such a flatterer!"

As she spoke, she took the housewarming gift she had prepared earlier from Su Congxian's hand and handed it to Wang Guihua, who was standing in the courtyard, and said with a smile:

"Second sister-in-law, today is your big day. We don't have anything valuable here. This is something I brought back from my parents' home. Please don't mind it."

Wang Guihua was initially a little intimidated by the large group of people from the Su family, and was thinking of going to the backyard to call Su Banxia over. However, Lin Shi was pulling her arm and talking to her, so she had no chance to leave. She quickly smiled and accepted the things.

"Thank you so much, Third Sister-in-law. You've gone to so much trouble to spend the money."

As he spoke, he placed what he was holding on the table, and awkwardly met Granny Liu's impatient face.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you see me coming? You didn't even say hello!"

"Father, Mother, you..."

Wang Guihua stammered, and before she could finish her sentence, Granny Liu raised her hand to interrupt her:

"Alright, stop dawdling with me and quickly take me inside to see how the house is decorated."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua had no choice but to steel herself and lead Granny Liu and the others into the house.

"Mother, please slow down, there are steps here."

Granny Liu glared at Wang Guihua and said unhappily:

"I'm not old and my eyesight is failing yet, I don't need you to remind me."

Granny Liu looked up and surveyed the main room, her eyes widening in surprise. She clicked her tongue in astonishment at the furnishings.

"I heard that all this furniture was ordered from the city? I think you guys are just throwing money away. We country folk don't need such nice things. Wouldn't it be a waste for your second wife's family to use them?"

As she spoke, Granny Liu carefully stepped forward and began to stroke the mahogany table and chairs.

"Tsk tsk, it would be nice if my Songchuan lived in this house. When he marries the eldest daughter of the Li family, he will definitely have to live in such a grand house. In that case, my Songchuan will be able to hold his head high in front of his father-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua's face stiffened, and she clenched her fingers, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that Wang Guihua was standing still, Granny Liu said coldly:

"What? Do you have some kind of treasure in your house? Hurry up and take me to see the other rooms!"

Wang Guihua nodded hurriedly in agreement, and led Granny Liu to her and Su Hanzhang's room on the first floor. As soon as Wang Guihua entered the room, she nodded and said:

"This room faces the sun, which is best for your father and me. It's on the first floor, so our old bodies don't have to climb the stairs. Oh, this table is not placed in the right position. Move it to the window!"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Guihua and waited for her to move the table.

Wang Guihua spoke with some difficulty:

"Mom, this table is made of solid wood. I really can't move it. Maybe we should just leave it for now."

Granny Liu glared at Wang Guihua.

"You worthless piece of trash! Boss, Third Brother, go and move it for me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ye immediately stepped forward to move the table. Seeing that Su Congxian hesitated, she spoke up:

"Third brother, what are you standing there for? Mother has spoken, so hurry up!"

Su Congxian glanced at Lin Shi, then at Granny Liu, and stammered, "..."

"Mother, this is my second brother's room. Why don't we just mind our own business..."

Granny Liu glared at Su Congxian.

"Your second brother is also a piece of my flesh and blood. He must leave me a room in his house. He's in the right no matter where you look at it. I told you to move out, so move out quickly and don't make me angry!"

Seeing that Granny Liu had said this, Su Congxian sighed helplessly and went forward to move the table to the window with Su Ye.

Seeing Wang Guihua's anxious expression, Granny Liu scolded:

"Are you crazy? Hurry up and take me to the other room."

Wang Guihua nodded helplessly and led the group to Su Shiyan's room next door. Considering that Su Shiyan would marry and have children in this courtyard in the future, she had reserved a large main room for him.

Granny Liu clapped her hands with joy upon seeing the house.

“This house looks nice. According to the division of the children, it should be given to the eldest son. But the fourth son is a scholar and will marry the daughter of a wealthy family in the future. He will definitely want to live in a big and nice house. Sigh, it’s really hard for me as a mother.”

As she spoke, Granny Liu looked at Su Ye.

"Big brother, you've always been a sensible person. You wouldn't fight with your dad for the house, would you?"

Su Ye couldn't even imagine that the second son's house would have her own room. Just living in this courtyard, regardless of the size of the room, meant she was quite prestigious.

Therefore, Su Ye naturally didn't care about being particular at this moment and nodded excitedly.

"Mom, don't worry, would I fight with my little brother for a room? I'll do whatever you say."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua immediately said anxiously:

"Mother, this room is reserved for Shi Yan to get married in the future..."

Granny Liu glared at Wang Guihua and said unhappily:

“His fourth uncle hasn’t even gotten married yet, so why is he in such a hurry? Besides, our fourth son will definitely live in the city in the future. He only comes back to visit me during the holidays to stay in this dilapidated house. Even if you beg him to stay, he won’t stay!”

Just as Su Congxian was about to speak to Liu Pozi to stop talking like that, Lin Shi glared at him, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered:

"Are you stupid? You can just listen quietly for now. Your eldest brother and younger brother both have houses, so I suppose our third branch should have one too. Don't you want to live in a big courtyard like this?"
