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

Su Banxia glanced at Granny Liu and sighed.

"What are you thinking? She's suffering in the Sun family right now. You didn't even bother to find out the right husband for her. It'll only be after the wedding that we find out that Sun Daqian had a wife before and she had three sons with him. Now my aunt is just going to be a maid for the whole family!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu slapped her thigh violently.

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe it. If Sun Dan didn't like Yunhe, why would he spend so much money to marry her?"

Su Banxia sneered.

"Sun Da said that the money was used to buy out your Yunhe's rights. From now on, she belongs to the Sun family and has nothing to do with your Su family!"

Just then, Old Man Su, carrying a hoe, returned from the fields and heard Su Banxia's words as soon as he entered the yard. He abruptly threw the hoe to the ground and cursed:

"What utter nonsense! When did I ever say I was going to sell my daughter to him?!"

"But my grandmother received so much money from them, so they've concluded that you're selling your daughter!"

Old Man Su spat on the ground and glared at Granny Liu.

"Look what kind of den of wolves you've found for our daughter! I was wondering why we hadn't seen her for three days since she came back to visit her parents' home. Turns out she's been taken into custody by that Sun family and is being treated like their servant!"

Hearing this, Granny Liu felt a pang of sadness and glared back at Old Man Su.

"Don't talk nonsense to me! Why didn't you say a word when Aunt Cai was trying to set up a marriage for our daughter? Now you're acting all high and mighty because of me?!"

Hearing this, Qin, who was picking vegetables nearby, also became restless. She hadn't expected Aunt Cai to be so unreliable.

Tomorrow is her daughter's homecoming day, and she's feeling a bit anxious, worried that her daughter might not make it back, and end up like Su Yunhe.

Although Qin had visited Zhang Guang's home, she could tell from that one visit that the eldest son of the Zhang family had married a woman who was not to be trifled with.

The reason Qin was willing to let her daughter marry into the family was because Aunt Cai kept saying that after the marriage, Su Tao could live in the city with Zhang Guang.

Madam Qin thought that Zhang Guang was skilled and could earn money, and now that her daughter had married him, she could also benefit from his marriage and live in the city.

When she returned to Sujia Village during holidays, Qin Shi would feel incredibly proud just thinking about how her daughter had come back from the city.

But now, listening to Su Banxia's words, it seemed that Su Yunhe had suffered a lot of grievances in the Sun family, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.

"Grandma, if you ask me, you should really think about bringing my aunt back as soon as possible. She was pampered by you and Grandpa, and now that she's married into her husband's family, she's treated like a slave. Although she doesn't say it, I saw that Grandpa Sun really beat her hard!"

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Granny Liu's face immediately stiffened.

"Su Banxia, ​​don't lie to me! I remember how much Sun Da liked our Yunhe back then, how could he bear to hit her now?"

Su Banxia sneered.

"Can you really rely on men? Isn't that what they do—they get what they want and then don't cherish it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Su picked up the hoe from the ground and turned to leave the yard.

"I'm going to Sunjia Village today to see who dares to lay a finger on my daughter. I'll teach them a lesson even if it costs me my old bones!"

Although Granny Liu was heartbroken, she still retained a sliver of reason and quickly turned around to grab Old Man Su.

“Old man, are you confused? It’s already dark. How are you going to find your way? We’ve never been to our daughter’s house before. Even if we were to go, we’d have to ask someone for directions, or we could ask Aunt Cai to come with us and we could talk about this properly.”

As she spoke, Granny Liu snatched the hoe from Old Man Su's hand and glared at him.

"You're already in such poor health, don't cause me any trouble. Even if you're going, we have to call all our sons. We can't let you go alone and get bullied!"

Old Man Su felt a pang of sadness, tears welling in his eyes, and he sighed.

"I'm old and useless. I can't even protect my own daughter. It's all my fault!"

Granny Liu was feeling very uneasy, so she pulled Su Banxia aside and asked:

"Did your aunt send me any message?"

Su Banxia shook her head.

"She didn't say anything else. She just said that as long as you're all doing well, that's all that matters. She doesn't want to cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu could no longer stop her tears from flowing.

"My silly daughter, how could you be so foolish? So many days have passed and you didn't even send someone back to deliver a message. Your father and I thought you were living a good life in Sunjia Village. It's just that your mother is old and blind and didn't recognize people, and we pushed you into the fire pit!"

Seeing this, Su Banxia said coldly:

“You should stay away from Aunt Cai in the future. I think she has no good intentions. If she hadn’t refused to explain Sun Da’s situation, my aunt wouldn’t have married that kind of person.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu sighed, clenched her fists, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

“How could you, a child, understand the difficulties we adults face? Just the other day, we had arranged with Aunt Cai to have her find a match for your fourth uncle with the eldest daughter of the Li family. Now that we still need her help, how can we afford to turn against her?”

Su Banxia saw that Granny Liu was completely unyielding.

"You're being foolish, Grandma! My aunt has been tricked like this by that Aunt Cai, how can you still speak up for outsiders? Do you really think she has any good intentions in introducing you to the daughter of the Li family?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

“What kind of status does Master Li have? Why would he marry his own daughter to someone from our remote mountain village? This is a mismatch between the two families. Do you want my fourth uncle to become a live-in son-in-law?”

Granny Liu glared at Su Banxia.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our family has never had the custom of having someone become a live-in son-in-law!"

As she spoke, Granny Liu waved her hand and said:

"Alright, alright, what do you know? Your fourth uncle is a scholar, he'll be successful in the future. When he's out in the world, everyone will look up to him!"

Su Banxia muttered with amusement:

"What a scholar who has taken the exams for five years and is still only a junior student!"

Granny Liu glared at Su Banxia.

"Alright, you should hurry up and leave. We can't agree on anything. I know what you said today. After Su Tao's homecoming tomorrow, I'll take your uncles and aunts to Sunjia Village. I want to see how the Sun family treats my daughter!"

Seeing that Granny Liu had taken this matter to heart, Su Banxia was unwilling to stay any longer and turned to leave.
