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

Wang Guihua glared at Su Mo.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Go get ready and go to bed!"

After saying that, he ignored Su Mo and went straight into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Su Mo murmured as she watched Wang Guihua's retreating figure:

"She won't let me sell candied hawthorns with her, but can't I make them myself? Su Banxia, ​​you just wait, I'll definitely make them even better than you!"

The next day,

Su Banxia got up early in the morning, stuck the candied hawthorns she had made onto the straw saddle, and led Wei Kezhi and the others in a grand procession towards the city.

Su Banxia sent Erzhuzi to sell his wares at the market, and Gousheng to sell his wares near Lianxianglou. Wei Kezhi, on the other hand, continued to follow her around aimlessly.

Su Banxia thought to herself that it should be almost time for Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan to finish their work.

Now that the candied hawthorn business is booming, there's no need for my father and older brother to still be working for others outside. Wouldn't it be better if they came home and helped me with the work?

With the whole family living together, Wang Guihua was spared from constant fear. After all, she was the only household at the foot of that short mountain, and now only a few women lived there, so she was always uneasy.

It's not that I'm afraid of others causing trouble, but living at the foot of this mountain without any neighbors, over time, it's inevitable that some people with ulterior motives might come and do something malicious.

Furthermore, the matter between Su Mo and Su Feng is still unresolved. If Su Feng comes to his senses later, wouldn't he cause trouble in the courtyard again? At that time, there are only a few women in the courtyard, which is indeed dangerous.

So, Su Banxia decided that while selling candied hawthorns today, she would also go to the dock to see if she could find Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan, so that she could call them home as soon as possible and save them from suffering outside.

When Su Banxia arrived at the dock after hawking her wares, she searched around but couldn't find Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan.

He couldn't help but get anxious. He asked around but no one knew. Logically, they had worked here for so many days, how could no one recognize them?

Su Banxia looked around and saw another merchant ship docked not far away.

He hurriedly turned to Wei Kezhi and said:

"Wei Kezhi, you wait here for me. I'll go check if there's any news about my father and my older brother on that ship."

He handed the straw saddle to Wei Kezhi and then turned and ran toward the merchant ship.

As soon as she got there, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside the cabin.

"Manager, please, just settle our accounts. We've worked on your ship for so many days, we deserve some money to go home."

"Bullshit! You haven't even worked a month yet, and you're already asking me for wages. If everyone acted like you, I wouldn't have a job!"

"You'd better watch your mouth when you talk to my dad! We did the work, so it's only right that you pay us. What are you doing putting on airs?"

Su Banxia overheard their conversation and learned that Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan had encountered difficulties.

So he hurriedly went into the cabin.

"Father, elder brother, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing that it was his younger sister, Su Shiyan immediately felt emboldened and angrily pointed at the steward, saying:

“Sister, you don’t know, ever since we parted ways that day, we’ve been on this merchant ship and done so much work along the way. Now that we’re back in Fuping County, we’ve come to ask for our wages, but the manager isn’t happy about it. He wants to deduct our wages, saying that we haven’t worked a full month and he can’t pay us!”

Su Banxia was also very angry after hearing this, and looked at the steward and said:

"When you let my brother and my older brother board the ship, did you ever say that we would only be paid after working for a full month?"

Upon hearing this, the manager frowned deeply.

"Where did you come from, you little brat? Don't meddle in our adults' affairs. Get out of here! This is our merchant ship. Come on aboard, but if anything is missing, we'll make trouble for you!"

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"What? Now that I've hit a sore spot, you're going to kick me off the ship?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia stepped forward.

"I won't take anything from your ship, nor do I want to stay on your ship a moment longer. Just settle my father's and elder brother's wages, and we'll leave immediately!"

The manager raised an eyebrow, seeing that Su Banxia was a stubborn person who wouldn't listen to advice, and said with a half-smile:

"If you don't want to get off the ship, that's fine too. We have many strong young men on this ship who have nowhere to vent their energy. Why don't you let them have their fun!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan and Su Hanzhang widened their eyes and angrily exclaimed:

"What rubbish are you spouting? Shut your filthy mouth!"

As he spoke, Su Shiyan waved his fist, about to hit the person in charge.

Seeing this, Su Hanzhang quickly stepped forward to stop Su Shiyan. At this moment, although Su Hanzhang also wanted to punch the manager in the face, she held back, remembering that her and her son's wages were still in the manager's hands.

My little daughter is waiting for this money to go back and break off her engagement with that scoundrel Su Feng. She absolutely cannot afford any more mishaps now.

Thinking this, Su Hanzhang hugged Su Shiyan's waist and shouted to the steward:

"Get out of here, my son's fists are not to be trifled with. Hurry up and pay us the money, then we can save ourselves from all this arguing."

Seeing Su Shiyan's expression, the manager became somewhat frightened and quickly took a few steps back, glaring at him and shouting:

"You dare to attack me on my ship? You're asking for trouble!"

The manager then shouted towards the outside of the cabin.

"Guards, close the door and beat the dog!"

No sooner had the foreman finished speaking than a group of people rushed into the cabin, each carrying weapons.

"Hey boss, we're here. Who are you going to beat up?"

The manager smiled, pointed at Su Hanzhang and the others, and said:

"These disobedient bastards tried to fight me just now, beat them to death!"

No sooner had the foreman finished speaking than the group of men rushed forward, weapons in hand.

Just now, Su Banxia realized something was wrong and had already found a suitable weapon for Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan. She herself took out the dagger she kept in her space, ready to use it for self-defense at any time.

Seeing that these people were serious, Su Shiyan and Su Hanzhang quickly shielded Su Banxia behind them and started fighting with their weapons...
