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

Seeing that Lianhua, who had just been looking serious, was now easily coaxed into a smile by his younger sister's few words, Su Shiyan couldn't help but admire Su Banxia's quick wit and silver tongue.

Then, looking at Su Banxia with a fawning expression, he rubbed his hands together and smiled:

"Little sister, why are you back so early today? Are all the candied hawthorns sold out?"

Su Banxia smiled and nodded at Su Shiyan.

“They’re all sold out. Do you remember the woman who went to Uncle and Aunt’s stall to demand justice? Today is her son’s birthday banquet, and she came directly to the market entrance to find me and bought all the remaining candied hawthorns to take to the banquet for the children. That’s why I came back a little earlier today.”

Su Shiyan was even happier to hear this.

"Well, we've really picked up a guest. Alright, enough of that. It's getting windy outside, let's hurry inside. Mother's probably already starting to prepare the meal."

The three nodded in unison and went inside. Erzhuzi and Gousheng didn't come over for dinner today because Su Banxia knew it was her older brother's blind date. Although it was a good day, it was the girl's first time visiting, so she didn't want to invite too many people over, lest the girl feel awkward and nervous and not enjoy the meal.

Besides, although this is a meeting between the two parties, it's not certain whether it will lead to a relationship. So there's no need to invite too many outsiders to join in the fun, lest the two families end up disagreeing and things get ugly.

As soon as Su Banxia and the others entered the house, they saw Lianhua's mother sitting on a mahogany chair in the main room, staring wide-eyed at every corner of the room, clicking her tongue and praising:

"You know what, this house isn't just beautiful on the outside, the furniture and decor inside are also excellent. Tsk tsk, Auntie, look at these chairs, they're so comfortable and sturdy, they look like two completely different things!"

Grandma Sun, who was sitting to the side, nodded and smiled.

"That's right, when have we ever sat in such a nice chair? I heard that this furniture was specially ordered from Muxiangzhai in the city. Muxiangzhai is one of the top furniture shops in the city. Do you think ordinary people can order furniture from there?"

As the two were talking, Su Banxia entered the house and smiled at her grandmother:

"Grandma Sun, you've come over."

Grandma Sun smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling at the sight of Su Banxia.

"Oh my, Banxia, ​​come here quickly, let Grandma Sun take a good look at you. It's been so many days since I last saw you. You've grown into a beautiful young lady. Look how lovely and lovely you are!"

As she spoke, Grandma Sun turned to Aunt Luo, who was sitting to the side, and said:

"This girl is the eldest daughter of the second wife, the second oldest in the family. She's incredibly capable. She's the one who came up with the idea for this candied hawthorn business, and she also helped build this house. Everyone in our village envies Guihua for having such a good daughter who came to repay our kindness!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Luo quickly took Su Banxia's hand and smiled:

"Oh my, oh my, this girl looks capable, and she's really pretty. Look how beautiful she is, and she can make money too. You're really missing out. Girl, have you told her yet?"

Su Banxia smiled, withdrew her hand, and shook her head.

"My own affairs aren't in a rush right now. I have to wait until my older brother gets married before I can get married!"

Seeing this, Lianhua quickly stepped forward and tugged at Aunt Luo's arm.

"Mother, please don't do that. You'll scare Banxia again. Just say less about other people's business."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Luo glared at her daughter, then turned to Su Banxia with a smile and said:

“Look at my daughter, she hasn’t even married into the family yet, and she’s already starting to betray us. Now she’s already protecting you, her sister-in-law.”

As she spoke, Aunt Luo turned to look at her daughter again, and reached out to tap her forehead.

"Your daughter, you've only been at first sight with Su Shiyan, and you're already married to him. Looking at it now, I feel like I've been raising his daughter!"

So Aunt Luo said it with a smile, but everyone found it a bit harsh. Grandma Sun quickly tried to smooth things over, saying:

"Isn't it just because the two kids are destined to be together and have hit it off? I guess the kids are all grown up now, so you, as their mother, shouldn't interfere!"

Aunt Luo wasn't annoyed by these words; she just smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, my daughter is destined to be with the Su family, otherwise she wouldn't be here to meet your Su family for a blind date, right?"

Su Banxia saw that this Aunt Luo was quite formidable. After only meeting her for the first time, she was already eager to bring her daughter to the Su family, completely disregarding her daughter's feelings.

Su Banxia naturally knew that Aunt Luo was so eager to push her daughter here because her family's yard was spacious, they had built a two-story house, the interior decoration was not bad, and they had the candied hawthorn business to support them. Naturally, their family was much better off than that of ordinary farmers. That's why Aunt Luo was so eager to push her daughter here.

Thinking this through, Su Banxia could only shake her head helplessly. She glanced at Lianhua, who was bowing her head and not saying a word, and felt a little sorry for her. As a woman herself, Su Banxia naturally understood how awkward Lianhua's situation was.

Fortunately, this Lotus Girl seems to be a well-behaved and obedient girl. If I really marry her in the future, she will definitely be able to live a good life with my brother. Whether she can earn money or not doesn't matter. As long as they can live peacefully, it doesn't hurt for me, as their younger sister, to help them a little more.

The worst-case scenario is bringing home a shrew who turns the house upside down, forcing the whole family to obey her every command and live at her mercy. They'll be oblivious to their own limitations and constantly fight with their in-laws. In that case, there won't be a single day of peace in the house.

It is said that harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. If the household is not peaceful, then you can forget about making money. You will be too busy dealing with household chores to have any time to worry about other things.

Therefore, although Su Banxia, ​​as the younger sister, was unwilling to interfere in Su Shiyan's marriage, she still needed to carefully vet potential partners for the sake of future family harmony.

After all, Su Shiyan usually appears honest and simple, and he is indeed honest and simple; he simply doesn't have the extra thought to choose a suitable wife for himself.

He's already a kind-hearted person; if he were to be easily fooled by that girl's words, wouldn't Su Shiyan's later years be filled with hardship? And Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang wouldn't be able to live in peace either.

Furthermore, Su Banxia doesn't know if she will find a suitable man to marry in the future. She needs to plan for her future now, so as not to live in the house she paid for and have to endure Da Ya's disdain. Therefore, Su Banxia will never agree to Su Shiyan's marriage to Da Ya...
