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

Lou Wangyue nodded.

"Okay, I don't understand these things anyway, you can just handle the arrangements, I trust you."

Seeing this, Jixiang quickly offered another tael of silver.

Su Banxia took the silver and smiled:

"Write down that person's address for me, and I'll deliver the goods tomorrow using your name."

Jixiang handed over a note.

“Miss Su, our master has already written it. We will have to trouble you tomorrow.”

Su Banxia took the order, glanced at it, and nodded:

"We happen to be going there today to sell candied hawthorns, so we can go and familiarize ourselves with the way beforehand to avoid making any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Lou Wangyue raised an eyebrow and stepped forward, saying:

"How about I accompany you on this journey today?"

Su Banxia smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"How could I dare? Young Master Lou is a big businessman, how could he come with me to sell on the street? Besides, you usually travel by carriage, you can't expect me to ride in a carriage to sell candied hawthorns too."

Lou Wangyue smiled slightly.

"Banxia, ​​you must be joking. I can walk with you."

Su Banxia waved her hands repeatedly.

"No need, Young Master Lou. You've already taken care of my business, how could I trouble you like this? Alright, you go ahead and get busy, we'll be going now."

As she spoke, she pulled Wei Kezhi outside. Seeing Su Banxia talking so warmly with Lou Wangyue, Wei Kezhi couldn't help but curse inwardly that if this were in the capital, Lou Wangyue would never have had the chance to show off.

Su Banxia pulled Wei Kezhi out and saw that he looked sullen, so she said:

"I just told you this morning that you have to smile when doing business, how could you forget now?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia nudged Wei Kezhi and teased him:

"Come on, give me a smile."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Who are you calling the boss?"

Su Banxia smiled and quickly ran ahead, calling out:

"Candied hawthorns, sweet and big candied hawthorns, come and try them, come and buy them!"

A group of children quickly gathered around.

I want candied hawthorns!

"I also want!"

"The corn I ate yesterday was so delicious!"

"Then I'll try some today too!"

Wei Kezhi really couldn't understand why, when they were both selling candied hawthorns from street to street, he couldn't sell many, while Su Banxia could sell them very well.

Su Banxia glanced at Wei Kezhi and called out:

"What are you all standing there for? Come and help!"

Wei Kezhi nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, coming."

One of them was busy collecting money, and the other was busy serving candied hawthorns to customers. Finally, they finished serving this group of customers.

Seeing that most of the candied hawthorns had already been sold, Su Banxia decided to first go to the Lin residence, which Lou Wangyue had mentioned earlier, to familiarize herself with the way.

Unexpectedly, after asking around their way to the Lin residence, Su Banxia spotted a familiar figure.

Su Yunhe, dressed in tattered clothes, was sitting on a cart, head down, cutting pork.

When Sun Da came out of the Lin residence and saw that her movements had slowed down, he scolded her:

"Hurry up, get to work! You lazy woman who only knows how to eat and not how to work, what use are you to me!"

As he spoke, he slapped Su Yunhe on the head.

Su Yunhe quickened her pace without saying a word, as if she was already used to such beatings.

Just as Su Banxia was in shock, a chubby little boy rushed out of the alley, grabbed Su Yunhe's clothes, and shouted:

"I want to eat candied hawthorn! Buy me some now!"

Su Yunhe glanced at the boy and weakly replied:

"Stop messing around, I don't have any money. If you want food, go ask your father."

"I don't care, I want to eat it! Buy it for me now! You damn woman, you won't even buy me candied hawthorns, you might as well be dead! I don't want you to be my mother anymore!"

Su Yunhe glared at the boy and said unhappily:

Do you think I want to be your mother?

Just then, Sun Da came out of the Lin residence again, carrying a piece of pork, and glared at Su Yunhe.

"Why are you making the child cry? Calm him down right now and stop him from embarrassing himself here!"

Su Yunhe smiled weakly.

"She wants to eat candied hawthorns, what can I do! I don't have the money to buy them for her!"

Sun Dayi slapped Su Yunhe across the face and then cursed:

“If she wants it, just go buy it for her,” he said, throwing two copper coins at Su Yunhe.

Upon seeing this, the boy immediately cried out:

"Not enough, not enough, I want ten coins a string of them!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Da glared at the boy and cursed:

"Then why bother buying it? A candied hawthorn is more valuable than your life! Get out of here! Don't cause trouble here!"

The boy who had been holding onto Su Yunhe tightly glared at her when he saw Sun Dazhen get angry, then let go of her, sniffed, and squatted down to play with ants.

Seeing Sun Da carrying half a carcass of pork into the Lin residence, Su Banxia quickly went to Su Yunhe's side and grabbed her arm.

Are you Su Yunhe?

Su Yunhe looked up and met Su Banxia's eyes, and immediately withdrew her hand in fright.

"I, I'm not..."

Su Banxia lifted her face and frowned, saying:

"You refuse to go back after the three-day homecoming ceremony. Is this the kind of life you want to live with Sun Da?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia pointed to the boy squatting by the roadside and asked:

"Where did this child come from? You two only got married recently, how come the child is already so big?"

Su Yunhe's eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lip, letting out a cold laugh.

"That's Sun Da's eldest son. He has three children like that. He... he lied to me, I..."

Before Su Yunhe could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Seeing her turn away, her shoulders trembling, Su Banxia felt a pang of pity.

"Why didn't you send a message to the Su family? Haven't your parents always doted on you?"

Su Yunhe sneered.

"Su Banxia, ​​are you happy to see me reduced to this state?"

As she spoke, Su Yunhe wiped away the tears on her face.

"Get out of here, it's none of your business!"

Seeing that Su Yunhe was unyielding, Su Banxia angrily said:

"If you're willing to suffer, I don't care! You can just spend your whole life working like a slave for the Sun family!"

Su Yunhe roared:

"Do you think I want this? Even if I tell my parents, they won't come to take me back. Do you know what divorce means?"

Su Yunhe was panting heavily.

"You, you don't understand anything at all. My parents used my dowry to get a wife for my fourth brother. Haha, that's how it is for us women for the rest of our lives. What can I do? What can a woman like me resist?"

As she spoke, Su Yunhe's face flushed red, and her body trembled as she murmured:

"It's no use. No one cares whether I live or die. What does it matter to a woman like me? I have no home now. If I can't satisfy Sun Da, all I'll get in return is endless beatings. My parents can't help me, and they'll only have to worry about me for nothing. Yes, I'm useless... A person like me is useless in life..."
