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

Chapter 256 Mind Your Own Marriage

Seeing Su Shiyan's sincerity, Lianhua knew she hadn't entrusted herself to the wrong person. She smiled and nodded at him, and the two strolled around for a while longer, only remembering to go home as it was getting dark.

So Su Shiyan hurriedly pulled Lianhua to the city gate to catch Uncle Niu's carriage. Fortunately, Su Banxia thought that her older brother and Lianhua hadn't finished shopping yet, and she was too embarrassed to call them, so she asked Uncle Niu to wait at the city gate until dark. Then, Su Shiyan, holding Lianhua's hand, skipped and hopped over.

Lotus felt a little embarrassed. She looked at the crowd waiting on the oxcart, lowered her head, and whispered:

"I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting. We got so caught up in our shopping that we lost track of time."

Su Banxia's gaze fell on their tightly clasped hands, then she smiled slightly.

"We just arrived, so let's get in the car quickly and go home first. Sister Lotus, why don't you stay at our house for dinner tonight?"

Hearing this, Lianhua looked at Su Shiyan somewhat embarrassedly, then looked at Su Banxia and said with a smile:

"How can that be? It's already this late, and I still need to go back and cook dinner. I won't stay at your house for dinner tonight. Just take me to the entrance of Luo Family Village and drop me off there."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia turned to look at Xiao Su Shiyan and asked:

"Brother, what do you suggest we do about this?"

Su Shiyan looked at Lianhua and smiled at her.

"Since that girl wants to go home, let's send her home first. There's plenty of time in the future, and she can come to our house for dinner anytime."

Lotus blushed upon hearing Su Shiyan's words, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Banxia naturally knew that their marriage was probably a done deal. So she didn't say anything more, but just smiled and told Uncle Niu to take a detour to Luo Family Village to take Lianhua home.

Since it was Su Banxia who gave the order, Uncle Niu naturally didn't hesitate and drove the oxcart towards Luo Family Village. By the time they arrived at Luo Family Village, it was already completely dark.

Fortunately, Uncle Niu always kept a lantern on his oxcart. Su Banxia sat in front and held the lantern for Uncle Niu, who then followed the lotus flower's guidance to the lotus flower's house.

Just then, Aunt Luo, Lianhua's mother, was emptying swill at the door. Seeing Lianhua return in an oxcart, she couldn't help but curse:

"Why are you only coming back at this hour, you brat? Don't you know the house is waiting for you to cook? You're really getting ambitious. You went out all day and didn't even come back. What will happen after you get married?"

Lianhua got off the oxcart somewhat embarrassed, turned around to say goodbye to Uncle Niu and Su Banxia, ​​then turned back to Aunt Luo and said timidly:

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go back and cook right away."

Aunt Luo originally wanted to scold Lianhua a few more times, but when she saw that Su Shiyan had also come with Lianhua, she felt embarrassed to be too rude. So she pulled Lianhua into the courtyard and then said to Su Shiyan:

"Thank you for your help today, Su Shiyan. It's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer. I'll have Lianhua come to your house to help out another day."

After saying that, Aunt Luo slammed the courtyard gate shut.

Seeing this, Su Shiyan was about to hand his basket to Lianhua, but then seemed to remember something and withdrew his hand, saying to Aunt Luo standing behind the door:

"Okay, Auntie, then we'll head back now."

After the oxcart left Luo Family Village, Su Banxia turned to Su Shiyan with some confusion and asked:

"Brother, weren't the things in this basket for Sister Lotus? Why didn't you give them to her earlier and instead brought them back? When did you become so stingy?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan shook his head helplessly.

"Is this the stingy person you think I am? This stuff is naturally for Lianhua, but her mother is a scoundrel. Didn't you see how bossy she was towards Lianhua just now? It made me angry. Besides, if her mother really takes this stuff back, it might all end up in Lianhua's brother's hands, and Lianhua won't get anything. I've already talked to Lianhua. We'll have her come to our house to eat and use these things, so no one can take them away from us."

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly after hearing Su Shiyan's words.

"Sigh, I never thought that Sister Lotus was also unfortunate. Aunt Luo didn't seem like someone easy to get along with, but I never expected her to be so sexist."

Su Shiyan nodded.

"That's right. I need to marry Lianhua as soon as possible so that she can suffer less."

Seeing that her older brother had finally come to his senses, Su Banxia nodded to him with great satisfaction.

“Brother, it’s great that you have this awareness. Why don’t we have our mother go to Grandma Sun at the west end of the village tomorrow and get your marriage settled as soon as possible? We can pick an auspicious day before the New Year to get married, so that Mother can put her mind at ease. After the New Year, our family will also have a new addition to the family.”

Seeing that Su Banxia had planned so far ahead for him, even including having children in the future, Su Shiyan blushed and lowered his head.

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll talk to my mother about it when we get back. I think you should focus on your own marriage first."

Seeing that Su Shiyan was bringing up the matter again, Su Banxia stopped talking to him and turned her head to the side to focus on helping Uncle Niu hold the lantern and watch the road.

Hearing Su Shiyan's words, Erzhuzi glanced at Su Banxia, ​​then lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought...

By the time Uncle Niu's oxcart arrived at Sujia Village, it was already pitch black. Uncle Niu first took Su Banxia and the others back to their courtyard on Dwarf Mountain, and then slowly drove the oxcart back to his own home.

Wang Guihua, who was already waiting anxiously in the courtyard, heard the commotion outside the gate and quickly got up to open it.

Xiao Hei was also very anxious, following closely at Wang Guihua's feet, wagging its tail at Su Banxia incessantly.

Su Banxia put down what she was holding, reached out and patted Xiao Hei's head, then looked at Wang Guihua and said:

"Mom, what delicious food are we having for dinner tonight?"

Wang Guihua craned her neck to look behind her, but couldn't see any sign of Lotus Girl. She then looked at Su Shiyan, puzzled, and asked:

"Why didn't we see Miss Lotus come back with you? She spent the whole day at the market with you, it wouldn't be right not to invite her to stay for dinner."

Su Shiyan scratched his head sheepishly after hearing this.

"Mother, you don't need to worry about her. We've already sent her to Luo Family Village. She'll come back tomorrow. You can cook something delicious for her tomorrow."

As he spoke, Su Shiyan handed his basket to Wang Guihua. Seeing the many food and household items inside, all belonging to women, Wang Guihua looked at Su Banxia and smiled:

"Our Banxia has finally learned to buy herself something."
