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

Chapter 253 Ruined His Good Deeds

Su Shiyan felt a little embarrassed to take Su Banxia's money, but he didn't have any money on him at the moment. He couldn't very well go to the market empty-handed without buying anything, so he gripped the money tightly, nodded vigorously to Su Banxia, ​​and whispered in response:

"Don't worry, little sister. Thank you for the money. I will definitely pay you back when I earn money. I will treat Miss Lotus well."

Su Banxia couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing Su Shiyan's words.

"Consider this money as my advance payment for your wages. After all, you still have to do the work for me, right?"

After hearing this, Su Shiyan scratched his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded to Su Banxia and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's considered wages."

After everyone arrived at the market, Su Banxia took Erzhuzi and the others to set up a stall to sell candied hawthorns. Lianhua insisted on going with Su Banxia to sell candied hawthorns, but Su Banxia repeatedly refused, urging Su Shiyan to quickly take Lianhua to stroll around the market.

Unable to dissuade Su Banxia, ​​the two went to the market. Su Banxia was standing at the market entrance, hawking candied hawthorns, when she saw a familiar figure in blue standing in the distance.

This person was none other than her fourth uncle, Su Songchuan.

Remembering that Su Songchuan still owed her money for the candied hawthorns from last time, Su Banxia didn't think much of it and rushed forward, grabbing Su Songchuan's arm and saying with a smile:

"Fourth Uncle, what brings you to the market today? You took so many candied hawthorns from me last time, it's time to settle the score."

Su Songchuan turned his head and met Su Banxia's eyes, his eyes widening in surprise. Then, he saw Su Songchuan nervously trying to shake off Su Banxia's hand.

"Don't talk nonsense. When did I take your candied hawthorn? How can you be so forgetful at such a young age? Besides, I'm your fourth uncle. Isn't it only right that I eat some of your candied hawthorn?"

Seeing that Su Songchuan was trying to renege on his debt, Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"You, as my fourth uncle, have done something for me, and I still have to give you candied hawthorns? Besides, I can't just give them to everyone I meet when I'm running a business, or I'll go bankrupt."

The two were chatting animatedly when they noticed a well-dressed woman approaching from a distance, followed by a maid.

The woman saw Su Songchuan from afar, lowered her head, smiled shyly, and then spoke softly as she approached:

"Brother Songchuan, you've arrived so early! I haven't been to this market in ages. And who is this?"

As she spoke, Li Shuer turned to look at Su Banxia, ​​who was holding Su Songchuan's hand, and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.

Seeing this, Su Songchuan was afraid that Li Shuer would misunderstand him, so he quickly shook off Su Banxia's hand, smiled at Li Shuer, and

“This is my little niece. She greeted me when she saw me coming out to the market. Don’t worry about her, let’s go shopping on our own.”

Upon hearing Su Songchuan's words, Li Shuer quickly smiled and nodded at Su Banxia.

"So you're Songchuan's niece. Why don't you come shopping with us? I just saw some floral fabric for sale on the street over there. How about I give you a piece of fabric to make a dress? The fabric looks really nice, perfect for a girl your age."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia quickly smiled at Li Shuer.

"No need for the fabric, thank you for your kindness, but my fourth uncle owes me money for candied hawthorns..."

Before Su Banxia could finish speaking, Su Songchuan immediately covered her mouth and pulled her back slightly. Then, looking embarrassed, he looked at Li Shuer and said with a smile:

"Don't listen to her nonsense. This girl is young and likes to make jokes. Let's ignore her. I'll go shopping with you. If you like any fabric, I'll buy some to make you a dress."

Upon hearing Su Songchuan's words, Su Banxia couldn't help but shout:

"Fourth Uncle! You can't do this. It's not easy for me to make a living selling candied hawthorns. You can't use the money from my candied hawthorns to buy clothes for your sweetheart."

Then, Su Banxia turned to look at Li Shuer, who looked puzzled, and said:

"If you are going to marry my fourth uncle in the future, you'd better be careful. My fourth uncle doesn't keep his word. Last time he said he would give me money for candied hawthorns, but now he's gone back on his word. I really don't know what to do."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Li Shuer looked at Su Songchuan with an embarrassed expression.

“Brother Songchuan, why do you still owe your little niece money? Why don’t you give her the money first? I have plenty of fabric, so there’s no need to buy it today.”

At this moment, Su Songchuan wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. This brat Su Banxia had made him lose face in front of Li Shuer, and now that things had escalated to this point, he really didn't know how he was going to get along with Li Shuer in the future.

So, fearing that Su Banxia might say something detrimental to him, Su Songchuan quickly pulled out the one tael of silver he had prepared for taking Li Shuer shopping that day, stuffed it into Su Banxia's hand, glared at her, and said unhappily:

"Here you go, that's enough, isn't it? Your fourth uncle only ate a few candied hawthorns from you, and you're still arguing with me? Okay, okay, go on now!"

Seeing that she had the silver in hand, Su Banxia stopped arguing with Su Songchuan, quickly clutched the silver, and smiled at Su Songchuan and Li Shuer.

"Alright then, I'll be going now. Fourth Uncle, you can show my future Fourth Aunt around."

Su Songchuan's fists were clenched so tightly they were about to break. This Su Banxia was so outspoken, she really didn't care about saving face for him. He truly didn't know how to face Li Shuer now.

Li Shuer frowned, lowered her head slightly, and her ears turned red. She hadn't expected this girl to be so blunt, referring to herself as her future fourth aunt in front of everyone on the street.

Although she was somewhat fond of Su Songchuan, her parents had not yet agreed to marry him. If word got out now, what would become of her reputation?

Li Shu'er then thought about what would happen to the people on the street if she and Su Songchuan didn't end up together. After all, she was well-known, and everyone knew her; who didn't know that she was the eldest daughter of the Li family?

Now that Su Banxia has made such a scene, Li Shuer doesn't dare to continue strolling through the market with Su Songchuan. She's afraid that if someone with ulterior motives sees this, they might make a big deal out of it, and then she'll suffer more losses than gains.

Not only did he lose face for the Li family, but he also ruined his own reputation.

So Li Shuer looked up and smiled at Su Songchuan.

"By the way, Songchuan, I realized I have something to do today, so I can't go shopping with you here. How about we set a time to meet up another day? I'll be going now, you can wander around here by yourself."

Having said that, Li Shuer fled as if she were escaping...
