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

After everyone had finished eating, Aunt Luo and Lianhua sat in the house for a while longer before reluctantly leaving the courtyard.

On the way back, Aunt Luo started lecturing Lianhua incessantly.

"Although this is our first meeting, I think Su Shiyan is a pretty good person. How many people in the surrounding villages can afford to live in such a small courtyard and such a building? If you can really get together with him, you'll be incredibly lucky. If you're smart, you'd better hurry up and win him over!"

Lotus blushed upon hearing this.

“Mother, I think that no matter who you go on a blind date with, you have to get along with them. I spent the whole day with Su Shiyan today, and he seems a bit dull and not like a smart person. His family is rich, probably because his sister is good at making money, and it has nothing to do with him.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Luo slapped Lianhua hard on the back and scolded her angrily for her lack of ambition:

"You silly girl, what do you know? It's common for your sister-in-law to help her brother. If you take it seriously, and Su Shiyan gets married, will you still worry about not having money at home? Since Su Banxia is good at making money, she naturally wouldn't have the heart to see her brother and sister-in-law live a hard life!"

Lotus hissed in pain.

"Mother, please hit me gently. No matter how much money that sister-in-law makes, it's still her money. She'll get married eventually. If she gets married, will her husband's family still allow her to keep sending money to her parents' family?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Luo frowned deeply and gave Lianhua a dark look.

"Don't talk nonsense. If he really wanted to help, he would find a way to do so. Besides, you have a younger brother. You can't just get married and then abandon your family. Your brother can't do anything, so he has to rely on you for support. If I raise you and then you get married and then I abandon you and don't care about anything, wouldn't I have raised you for nothing?"

Lotus lowered her head silently upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Luo became angry and pushed her, saying angrily:

"Don't pretend you can't hear me now. You remember everything I'm telling you, you know? When it really matters, your family will have to back you up. Don't be silly and keep giving to your husband's family without bringing anything back to your own family. You have a younger brother. If your husband's family bullies you in the future, won't you have to rely on your brother to stand up for you?"

Lotus sighed helplessly upon hearing this, then nodded.

"Mother, I understand. Don't say anything more. I understand everything."

Seeing Lianhua's expression, Aunt Luo wasn't so angry anymore, and then said:

"It's good that you know. I'm doing this for your own good. These next few days, make good use of your time to visit Su Family Village and get to know Su Shiyan better so that we can finalize your marriage as soon as possible. That way, I can rest assured."

Lotus quickened her pace a few steps,

"Mom, stop talking, I know everything. Let's go home quickly, it's getting late, I need to hurry back to cook dinner."

After saying that, Lianhua ran off in a little daze.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Luo could only shake her head helplessly and quickly followed after her.

At this end of the courtyard on Dwarf Mountain,

Wang Guihua also pulled Su Shiyan aside and started asking questions.

"Shi Yan, what do you think of this Lotus Girl coming today?"

Su Shiyan felt a little embarrassed when his mother asked him so bluntly. He scratched his head, turned it to the side, and whispered:

"Lotus Girl is a good girl, and I think she has a good personality..."

Seeing her son's stubborn expression, Wang Guihua smiled knowingly and stood up, saying:

"Alright, since you like her, then you should get to know her properly. You're not getting any younger, and it's not easy to find a suitable one. I think that Lotus Girl is quite good. Let's settle down. Although her mother doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with, as long as the girl is willing, that's fine."

Su Shiyan blushed upon hearing this and quickly stood up, whispering:

"I understand, Mother. Don't worry about it for now. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room."

After saying that, Su Shiyan ran away as if he were fleeing.

Looking at Su Shiyan's expression, Wang Guihua shook her head helplessly and said with a smile:

"Did you see that? This is the first time I've ever seen your brother like this. Now that he's grown up, he's learned to be shy. It seems he really likes that Lotus Girl."

Su Banxia smiled.

"No one can say for sure right now. Let them get to know each other first. Whether their personalities are compatible or not can't be determined in a short time. By the way, Mother, this girl has been coming to our house a lot lately. You have to be careful. I think she's up to no good. She might ruin my brother's good marriage. It will be too late to regret it later."

Wang Guihua hadn't thought anything of it at first, but after hearing what he said for a while, she couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then nodded.

“You’re right. I know this girl too. We’ve lived in the same village for so many years. She used to look down on our family. I could tell. But ever since we built our house, she’s been coming over more often. She’s always been the type to fawn over the powerful and bully the weak. We can’t let her marry into our family in the future. Don’t worry, I will keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn’t ruin your brother’s plans.”

Seeing that Wang Guihua was also taking this matter seriously, Su Banxia nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's make more candied hawthorns tomorrow. I've noticed that we're getting more and more repeat customers. The ones we made before weren't enough to sell. I came back early this morning. If we make more, I can earn more money."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua couldn't help but feel a little worried and said:

“These days, it’s not just our family that’s making candied hawthorns; your third uncle and the others are doing it too. What do you think we’ll do if we make too many and can’t sell them all?”

Su Banxia smiled.

"It's alright. Their reputation for candied hawthorns is terrible in the county now. I don't think they can last much longer. Besides, I have a new product to replace it, which they can't imitate. People who don't do business properly don't need me to put in much effort. They won't last long on their own."

Hearing this, Wang Guihua nodded in relief and said:

"Okay, then I understand. I'll make more for you tomorrow. I'll go prepare the ingredients now."

Before the two could finish speaking, they heard someone frantically banging on the courtyard gate outside.

"Banxia, ​​is Banxia back? Is Su Banxia inside?"

Hearing the urgent knocking, the people inside came out and looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Xiao Hei was barking incessantly in the yard…
