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

Su Banxia nodded in agreement after hearing Wang Guihua's words.

“It’s true that she brought this on herself, but my uncle isn’t a good person either. I told Li Ayu that if she has any difficulties, she can go to the village head for help. She looks pitiful now, but if she comes to us for help in the future, Mother, what do you think we should do?”

Wang Guihua hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly:

“Sigh, we’re all women, so of course I know how difficult childbirth is. Although Li Ayu did something wrong from the start, it doesn’t deserve to die. If she really comes to us for help in the future, we’ll do our best to help her. We don’t need to take it too seriously, since our family doesn’t have any connection with her. The fact that you helped her give birth to this child is already a great favor to her.”

Seeing that Wang Guihua had thought things through so clearly, Su Banxia smiled.

"Okay, I understand, Mother. It's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Wang Guihua nodded, then got up and went inside. Su Banxia also kept things simple, tidied up a bit, and went back to her room to sleep.

the next morning,

Su Banxia had just gotten up and walked to the window railing to look down when she saw Daya helping Wang Guihua move things in the yard.

"Aunt Guihua, don't bother. I'll take care of things outside for you. You go and get busy in the kitchen."

As Daya carried the wooden basin, she smiled and said to Wang Guihua.

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua quickly waved her hand and said:

“Da Ya, you can’t do that. You never come to our house to sit down. How can we let you help with chores now that you’re here? Go sit over there. You’re here to see Banxia, ​​right? Banxia will get up in a little while.”

Daya put down the wooden basin, wiped the sweat from her brow, and said:

“Aunt Guihua, don’t worry about me. I feel right at home here. We’re all from the same village, so let’s not be so formal. I’ve been sitting at home doing nothing anyway, so I came over to chat with you, do some chores, and get some exercise. We young people are strong, to say the least.”

Wang Guihua chuckled dryly upon hearing this.

"Oh, you didn't come to see Banxia, ​​did you? I thought you came to see her. I don't have any work for you to do. Go sit on the chair in the yard for a while and rest. Look at you, you're all sweating. I'll make you some tea later."

As the two were talking, Su Shiyan came out of the house, yawning, and said:

"Mom, is breakfast ready? I'm starving! What are we having for breakfast today?"

As soon as Su Shiyan finished speaking, he looked up and met Da Ya's smiling face. He was startled and suddenly remembered Su Banxia's warning to him yesterday, so he hurriedly and awkwardly said:

"Da Ya, what brings you here? Didn't I make it clear to you yesterday that we don't have any work for you to do right now? You should go back first."

Upon hearing this, Da Ya quickly walked up to Su Shiyan, gave him a shy smile,

“Brother Shiyan, didn’t I say I’d come to work for your family without pay? It’s just that we live in the same village, so it’s easier to get around. I’ll just consider it exercise and do what I can to help Aunt Guihua.”

Wang Guihua, who was standing to the side, waved her hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

"No, no need, Daya. There's nothing to do at home. We can do it ourselves. Aunt Wu will be here in a little while, and she'll help me with any chores. There's no need for you to trouble yourself. If you're not busy, you should go back first."

Daya is shameless. Her purpose in coming today is to get along well with Wang Guihua and let Wang Guihua see her good qualities so that she might consider letting her become her daughter-in-law.

Now, she looks down on Su Banxia, ​​and naturally Su Banxia also looks down on Daya. However, Su Shiyan's marriage is probably not up to her, as his younger sister, to decide, so Daya naturally doesn't take Su Banxia seriously.

Right now, Da Ya is only focused on making a good impression on Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang, and then winning over Su Shiyan's heart. Wouldn't that solve the marriage problem?

So Da Ya ignored what Wang Guihua said and just kept her head down to help with the work.

Wang Guihua was truly helpless seeing Daya's expression. She didn't know how to refuse Daya, and could only look at Su Shiyan standing at the door with a distressed expression.

Su Shiyan looked up and met his mother's gaze, and could only scratch his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know what to do either.

Su Baicai had already dressed and come downstairs. Seeing that Daya was still stubbornly refusing to leave, she stepped forward and said:

“Da Ya, we can’t pay you for working here. If you have nothing else to do, go home quickly, so that my future sister-in-law won’t feel uncomfortable when she sees you.”

Hearing Su Banxia's words, Da Ya naturally understood the meaning behind them. She was about to scold her, but remembering that Wang Guihua was standing right next to her, she felt embarrassed to say anything too harsh. So, she could only grit her teeth and smile as she said:

"Banxia, ​​what's this about a future sister-in-law? Who can say for sure about fate? If it's not settled, there's no guarantee. I'm here to help Aunt Guihua with some chores, why are you blocking my way? No matter how much I do, at least it will make things easier for Aunt Guihua. As her daughter, why don't you care about your mother?"

Just as Su Banxia was about to retort to Daya, she heard the courtyard gate being pushed open, and Fifth Aunt rushed in from outside.

Upon seeing Wang Guihua, he immediately said:

"Oh dear, you don't know yet, do you? Su Tao from the eldest son's family went back to her parents' home. She said she was beaten at her husband's house and ran back. It caused quite a scene. I took a peek from outside the courtyard wall and it looked like Su Tao had been beaten pretty badly. Why don't you go and take a look?"

When Da Ya heard that her good friend Su Tao had been beaten, she was also a little anxious. Forget about helping Wang Guihua with her work, she put down the rag she was holding and said to Wang Guihua:

"Aunt Guihua, something happened to Su Tao. I have to go over there as soon as possible. I'll come over and help you with your chores another day when I have time."

As she spoke, Da Ya couldn't help but glance sideways at Su Banxia, ​​who was standing to the side.

“I’ve always been a warm-hearted person, unlike some people who act like it’s none of their business when their cousins ​​get into trouble.”

After saying that, Da Ya left without looking back.

Wang Guihua watched Daya's departing figure and sighed helplessly.

"Banxia, ​​it's still early. Why don't you go to Old Su's yard and see what's going on? Otherwise people will say that we've separated from Old Su's family and don't care about their affairs anymore. If that happens in the village, we'll be seen as ungrateful."
