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

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian was so frightened that he grabbed the straw saddle beside him and ran outside.

"Wife, wife, run! The constables are here to arrest us! I told you a long time ago not to sell candied hawthorns these days, but you wouldn't listen! You'll be happy if they arrest you!"

Before the meal, he ran a long way while shouting.

Lin was left looking back, but couldn't see any of the constables. She immediately realized that Su Banxia was trying to scare Su Congxian, so she glared at Su Banxia fiercely and shouted at Su Congxian, who had run quite a distance away:

"You idiot, come back here! We haven't sold all the candied hawthorns yet, where are you going? That brat Su Banxia is lying to you, don't believe her!"

Seeing that Su Congxian had lost his shoes while running, Su Banxia couldn't help but laugh. All the anger she had suffered at the Lou mansion had vanished, and she felt quite relaxed. At the moment, she was in a hurry to find Erzhuzi and the others at the market entrance to go home together, so she was too lazy to get entangled with Lin Shi and her husband any longer. She simply put her hands behind her back, turned around, and left.

He completely ignored the grumbling and swearing of the Lin family and Su Congxian behind his back...

When Su Banxia and Erzhuzi returned to the courtyard on Dwarf Mountain, they saw a woman standing at the door. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was Daya, dressed in new clothes and with painted eyebrows and eyes, standing at the door.

Su Banxia felt annoyed the moment she saw her. Before Su Tao got married, she was on good terms with this girl. Back then, the two of them often gossiped about Su Banxia behind her back. So from the beginning, Su Banxia didn't have a good impression of anyone. In addition, last time, this girl took advantage of the fact that no one was in her courtyard to come and visit without permission, which really showed a lack of manners.

Now that Da Ya was standing at the door, wanting to make Su Banxia even more curious, she stepped forward and looked at her coldly.

"What are you doing standing at my gate on a day like this, when there's no holiday?"

When Da Ya saw that the person who came was Su Banxia, ​​she didn't give her a friendly look.

"Why can't people stand in front of your house? How can you talk so domineeringly?"

Seeing that his younger sister was about to start arguing with someone, Su Shiyan quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Sister, you should go home first. We're all from the same village. Let Daya stand wherever she wants."

As he spoke, Su Shiyan reached out and nudged Su Banxia, ​​then gestured for Erzhuzi and the others to take Su Banxia inside first. After seeing Su Banxia being pushed inside,

Su Shiyan then turned to look at Daya.

“Da Ya, my younger sister was a bit harsh just now, please don’t take offense. She was just in a bad mood today, that’s why she acted that way.”

Upon hearing this, Daya couldn't help but pout.

“Brother Shiyan, I won’t argue with her. I’m a few years older than her, why would I argue with a younger sister? You don’t need to worry, we live in the same village, and we’ll see each other often in the future.”

Seeing that Daya was so understanding, Su Shiyan smiled at her.

"That's good! If there's nothing else, I'll go in first."

When Da Ya saw that Su Shiyan was about to leave, she immediately became anxious. She had dressed up so much today to make a good impression on Su Shiyan, but now he was leaving after only saying a few words to her. Wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

So Da Ya quickly reached out and grabbed Su Shiyan's arm.

"Brother Shi Yan, I... I have something I'd like to discuss with you..."

Su Shiyan, who was about to enter the house, heard this and hurriedly turned to look at Daya, asking in confusion:

"What's wrong? Just tell me what's wrong, Da Ya!"

Daya lowered her head and gave Su Shiyan a shy smile.

"Well, I heard that your family runs a candied hawthorn business in the city. Since the busy farming season is over at my family's place, I was thinking of finding some work. If you need help, I can come and help. I don't care about the pay, as long as I have something to do..."

Su Shiyan looked troubled upon hearing this.

“But we have enough people at home right now, and the candied hawthorn business was started by my sister, so my opinion doesn’t count. How about I ask my older sister for you later, and if we need more people, I’ll come to your house to ask you, okay?”

Daya knew that Su Banxia had always disliked her, and she and Su Banxia didn't get along either. She wasn't there to do any work, but rather to have more opportunities to interact with Su Shiyan. If she could really marry into the second branch of the Su family, her miserable days would be over.

Nowadays, everyone says that the second branch of the Su family has been living a prosperous life ever since they separated from the old Su family. Not only have they built a two-story house, but they have also furnished their home to look quite presentable. Now they even go to the city to do business, and the money is flowing into their home like water.

Therefore, Da Ya had long set her sights on Su Shiyan, who was not yet engaged. If she could marry into the second branch of the Su family in the future, she would not only be close to her parents' home and could support them at any time, but also live a life free from worries about food and clothing.

Da Ya's only thought was to win over Su Shiyan; whether she did any work or not, whether she got paid or not, didn't matter to her...

So Da Ya looked at Su Shiyan shyly and said softly:

“Brother Shiyan, why don’t you ask for me today, and I’ll come to your doorstep around this time tomorrow to wait for your reply? That way you won’t have to be so busy and run all the way to the village to look for me.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan scratched his head somewhat embarrassed.

"Wouldn't that make things tiring for you, little sister Da Ya?"

Daya smiled and shook her head.

"It's alright, I don't have much to do anyway, I'm just idling at home. If you have enough people, I can come and help. I don't want any wages, I just want to see you every day..."

Upon hearing Da Ya's words, Su Shiyan blushed. He had never heard a woman speak to him so frankly before, nor had any woman ever shown him any affection. So, Su Shiyan's heart pounded wildly.

As soon as Daya said those words, she blushed shyly, lowered her head, and dared not look Su Shiyan in the eye. She only whispered something.

"Brother Shi Yan, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You go inside and get back to what you're doing. I'll come find you again tomorrow..."

After saying that, the eldest girl ran away without looking back.

Su Shiyan stood at the door, staring blankly at Da Ya's departing figure, muttering to himself:

"You came here just to wait for me? What's so great about me...?"

Su Banxia had been busy in the yard for a long time, but Su Shiyan hadn't come in, so she was a little puzzled. She opened the gate and saw Su Shiyan standing there, staring blankly into the distance.

So he stepped forward and gave Su Shiyan a push.

"Brother, what are you doing standing outside? Mother has prepared the meal, and everyone is waiting for you to eat. Hurry up and go inside!"
