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

Su Yunhe's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She never expected her father to say such a thing. She had thought that her family members would only come today to say a few words on her behalf and then leave.

Now that Old Man Su can say such things, she feels at ease even if she doesn't go home with her parents.

Upon hearing this, Sun Da immediately exclaimed:

"That won't do. Su Yunhe is married to me, and I gave her a betrothal gift. What? You think you can just take her away like that?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu quickly stretched her neck and spoke up:

"Even if you give me a dowry, you can't treat my daughter like a human being."

"Your daughter seems to admire other people's families. Everyone serves their parents-in-law, husbands, and children. Why is it that your daughter is treated like a rude child?"

Sun Da glared at Su Yunhe as he spoke.

"That Su Yunhe is a good-for-nothing, she can't do anything, and I didn't even return her to you. Now if you want to take her away, then take her away, but it has to be a cash-on-delivery transaction."

As he spoke, Sun Da reached out his hand to Granny Liu.

"I spent more than twenty taels of silver to marry her. I won't count the rest. Just return the eleven taels of silver for the deposit and betrothal gifts."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's face stiffened, and she stood frozen in place.

Seeing her reaction, Sun Da couldn't help but sneer:

“My dear mother-in-law, aren’t you here to pick up your daughter today? You haven’t even prepared the money yet, have you? When I married Su Yunhe, I gave her the money without hesitation.”

Granny Liu stammered and couldn't get the words out.

Seeing this, Granny Zhang snorted coldly.

"You said you weren't selling your daughter. Since you've already sold your daughter to our family, you should just stay put. What's the point of making this scene now?"

Granny Liu turned around, glared at Granny Zhang, and cursed:

"You old codger, stop talking nonsense. I'm not the kind of person who sells his daughter. This dowry is something your Sun family should give me. My daughter has suffered so much in your family, can't I even come and see her?"

Seeing this, Su Banxia also chimed in:

"Yes, you are abusing the bride. No matter where you go, the Su family is always right. You've abused my sister-in-law like this, and you still want the betrothal money back? You're just delusional."

Upon hearing this, Sun Da stomped his foot and glared at Su Banxia:

"Do you even have the right to speak here? You're just a niece meddling in your aunt's family affairs, and you think you're in the right? Do you think this is the city? This is my territory. I only need to shout, and all the women and children in my village will come out to support me."

Seeing that Su Banxia seemed to be angry, Su Yunhe quickly walked to her side, patted her shoulder, and whispered:

"Banxia, ​​don't be angry. This has nothing to do with you. I'm already very grateful that you've gone to this much for me."

Seeing Su Yunhe like this, Su Banxia couldn't help but soften her heart again.

“Sun Da, this is abuse of women and beating of your new bride. Even if we take this to the authorities, we will still be in the right. Who knows if you were her previous wife, or if you beat her to death?”

Sun Da's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he angrily said:

"Get out of here! Stop talking nonsense in my house."

Su Banxia was puzzled by Sun Da's intense reaction. Could it be that Sun Da really beat his ex-wife to death?

Seeing that things had escalated to this point, Granny Liu was at a loss for what to do. She could only look up at Old Man Su, hoping that he, as a man, could come up with some ideas.

When Old Man Su met Granny Liu's gaze, he naturally understood her meaning, but at this moment, his hatred for Sun Da was at its deepest.

He wanted nothing more than to beat Sun Dacai up right away to vent his anger. He had never seen his daughter suffer such injustice, nor had he ever seen her so thin.

So Old Man Su ignored Granny Liu's gaze and looked directly at Sun Da.

"You inhuman beast! I never knew my daughter would suffer like this if she married you. If I had known, I would never have let her marry you, even if it meant my death."

As he spoke, he picked up the shovel in his hand and made a move to smash it down on Sun Da's head.

Seeing that her son was about to suffer a loss, Granny Zhang exclaimed in alarm:

"Stop it right now, you old geezer! What right do you have to hit my son!"

Sun Da quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the shovel that Old Man Su swung. He hadn't expected that Old Man Su, who usually seemed so quiet and unassuming, would be so tough and fierce in protecting his daughter.

He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"No matter what, your daughter has married into our Sun family. I call you father-in-law and mother-in-law. In the end, we are all family. Surely you can't bear to see your daughter divorce me and go home with you to become an unwanted old maid, right?"

As he spoke, Sun Da secretly glared at Su Yunhe.

"As long as Yunhe agrees to settle down and live here with me, I will treat her well in the future, so you two can rest assured."

When Su Banxia heard Sun Da say that, she turned to look at Su Yunhe.

"Aunt, do you really want to stay here?"

Su Yunhe pondered for a moment, then looked up and met Granny Liu's pleading gaze. She seemed to understand something in her heart.

He smiled and nodded at Su Banxia.

"Now that I've married into Zhangjia Village and so much time has passed, I want to stay here and live a peaceful life. If I were to return to Sujia Village now, I'd probably just become a laughingstock."

For some reason, when Granny Liu heard her daughter say that, she sighed silently and finally felt relieved.

She was also afraid that if Su Yunhe insisted on going home with her, Sun Da would force her to hand over the betrothal money again.

The matter of the youngest son marrying the daughter of the wealthy Li family could only be dropped.

This time, Granny Liu came partly because she missed her daughter, and partly to give Sun Da a warning, to let him know that Su Yunhe also had her family backing her up, so that he would suffer less at Su Yunhe's hands.

Today, seeing that old man Su really does have some manly spirit, he beat Sun Da with a shovel and he gave in, and that's how the matter was resolved.

Thinking this through, Granny Liu couldn't help but glance at Old Man Su a few more times.

Old Man Su was worried that his daughter would still be bullied by Sun Da's family if she stayed in Sun Family Village, so he walked up to Su Yunhe and grabbed her arm.

"Daughter, why do you insist on staying in this den of wolves? Today, Daddy is taking you home. Come with me!"

Upon hearing Old Man Su's words, Su Yunhe couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing this, Granny Liu quickly stepped forward and slapped Old Man Su's hand away.

"You old fool, can't you just wish your daughter well? The right thing to do is for the couple to live a good life together. What kind of father are you to interfere like this?"
