Upon hearing this, Su Tao quickly nodded and said:

"Then you said that if Su Banxia can do it, then naturally I can do it too."

Seeing that the mother and daughter had put their minds to it, Zhang Guang had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, mother-in-law, I understand what you're saying. I'll go home and discuss it with my mother later."

It wouldn't be appropriate for Madam Qin to say anything more, so she could only smile and pour Zhang Guang another cup of tea.

"Young master, stop talking and eat more food and drink some tea."

Seeing this, Su Ye quickly spoke up:

"Yes, yes, let's just eat and drink our fill today, and we can talk about the rest later."

Granny Liu also quickly spoke up:

“My son-in-law, you’re a great man. My Su Tao isn’t afraid of hardship either. You two will definitely have a prosperous future.”

Seeing that Su Tao's family treated him politely, Zhang Guang felt relieved.

After everyone finished eating, Su Tao sat and chatted with Qin Shi for a while before going back to Zhangjia Village with Zhang Guang.

On the way, Zhang Guang asked Su Tao how she was doing, and Su Tao told him about some of the grievances she had suffered recently.

Zhang Guang also felt that his mother and sister-in-law had gone too far. He promised Su Tao that he would stand up for him and go back to talk to his mother about it.

As soon as the two entered the door, Zhang Guang questioned his mother.

"Then I had Su Tao stay home to take care of you, not so she could suffer and be mistreated. I've noticed you haven't been treating her very well lately..."

Before Zhang Guang could finish speaking, Granny Zhang glared at Su Tao standing beside him, then slammed her teacup down heavily.

"Oh, so you've forgotten your mother now that you've married a wife? What bad things has your wife said about me to make you fight with me like this?"

As she spoke, Granny Zhang turned to look at Su Tao.

"I didn't believe the saying that one should marry a virtuous wife, but now it seems that it is indeed true. If a wife is immoral, she will cause no peace in the family."

Tao naturally understood that Granny Zhang was referring to her, but at this moment she didn't dare to argue with Granny Zhang.

He could only lower his head silently and mutter softly:

"Mother, no, I didn't say anything..."

Seeing Su Tao like this, Zhang Guang couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

“Mother, please stop talking about her. You should treat her better. If you and my sister-in-law really can’t stand her, then I will take her to live in the city.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang glared at Zhang Guang and cursed:

"You little rascal, where are you going to stay in the city? What will you eat? What will you use? It'll all cost money!"

Upon hearing this, Liu, who had just entered from outside, shouted with a look of reluctance:

“Mother, let me make this clear: you have two sons, so you can’t expect our whole family to serve you. And you can’t leave all the housework to our eldest son’s family.”

As she spoke, Liu glanced at Su Tao.

"You can't spoil people too much. I've worked for your Zhang family for so many years without a single complaint, and now you've only been married in for a few days and you're already making a fuss about moving to the city!"

Liu glared at Zhang Guang.

"You too, you made a promise to him out of the blue that he could live in the city, and now she keeps bringing it up."

Zhang Guang had been afraid of Liu Shi since he was a child. Now that Liu Shi had refused him, Zhang Guang naturally dared not say anything more.

He then reached out and tugged at Su Tao's sleeve, saying to Granny Zhang and Madam Liu:

"Mother, sister-in-law, let's think about this some more. Su Tao and I have something to discuss. Let's go inside first."

Without waiting for Granny Zhang's reply, he grabbed Su Tao and ran away as if fleeing.

As Liu watched Su Tao and Zhang Guang leave, she muttered under her breath:

"You ungrateful little brat! As soon as our second brother came back, she started stirring up trouble, trying to get him to argue with us. Does she really think she's defying the heavens?"

Seeing this, Granny Zhang quickly spoke up:

"Honey, don't worry. I will definitely not let her go to the city with Zhang Guang. The chores at home can't all fall on your shoulders."

Liu nodded in satisfaction after hearing what Granny Zhang said.

"Mother, I feel relieved to hear you say that."

After saying that, he went to work in the yard.

Watching Liu's departing figure, Granny Zhang sighed helplessly. Her eldest daughter-in-law was not to be trifled with, and her younger daughter-in-law seemed easy to bully, but she was also the type to gossip behind people's backs. As a mother, she was simply too old to manage this whole family.

Thinking this through, Granny Zhang sighed helplessly.

The next day,

In the courtyard of Old Su's house, everyone was ready to go.

Su Congxian and Su Ye were carrying their tools. The Japanese wanted to go to Dwarf Mountain and ask Su Hanzhang to come along, but Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan had gone to work in the city and were not at home. The second branch of the family only sent Su Banxia to come with them.

When Wei Kezhi heard about this, he was afraid that Su Banxia would suffer a loss, so he wanted to come along, but Su Banxia stopped him.

Today, Su Banxia assigned Wei Kezhi and Erzhuzi to deliver candied hawthorns to the Lin family, and sent Gousheng to sell candied hawthorns at the market. Meanwhile, Aunt Wu stayed at home and worked with Wang Guihua to make candied hawthorns.

Actually, Su Banxia didn't need to go today, but when she thought about Su Yu and what she had said to her that day, she felt that the second branch of the family should also send someone.

So, after arranging everything, he followed Granny Liu. The large group of people went to Sunjia Village.

Granny Liu originally wanted to find Aunt Cai to accompany her first. Having a matchmaker by her side would make things easier and prevent the two in-laws from falling out and having no contact in the future.

Unfortunately, everyone went to Aunt Cai's house first, but Aunt Cai had already gone out to arrange a marriage and wasn't home.

Helpless, Granny Liu had no choice but to inquire her way to the Sun family's house, and then she found Sun Da's house.

When everyone arrived at the Sun family's house, they saw how large and impressive it was, and thought about how Su Yunhe lived in such a house every day. They felt a little comforted.

Granny Liu knocked on the door, but when no one answered, she reached out and pushed the gate open. The gate wasn't locked, and she pushed it open easily.

The group went inside, and just as Granny Liu was about to call for help, she heard an old woman's voice shouting from the main room:

"You little slut who's been scalded by the heat, I asked you to fetch me water to wash my face, and you fetched water this hot! Are you trying to scald this old woman to death on purpose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, those outside the courtyard heard a loud crash as the copper basin fell to the ground…

Hearing the commotion inside, Granny Liu was so frightened that her heart pounded in her chest.

I had heard Su Banxia say before that her daughter was not well received in the Sun family, and now it seems that the woman here is not easy to talk to.

Granny Liu's heart clenched even more. If she had known that her daughter was marrying into such a dangerous place, no matter how much dowry she was offered, Granny Liu would never have agreed to the marriage.
