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

Chapter 263 This girl has a hard life.

Widow Li flung Old Man Su's hand away, coughed a few times unhappily, and said:

“My daughter is going back to her parents’ home. She can stay for as many days as she wants. I can’t very well rush her to leave.”

Widow Li sighed as she spoke.

"Besides, she only went back to her parents' home for a few days because she had a fight with her mother-in-law. If I, as her mother, keep telling her to leave, what will she think of me? Who will take care of me when I get old? I'm counting on this one daughter to live on."

Old Man Su frowned slightly upon hearing Widow Li's words, then smiled and said somewhat guiltily:

"Don't worry, Li Meizi, how could I not take care of you when you get old? Even though I'm a few years older than you, I'm still a man. You can always rely on me."

Upon hearing Old Man Su's words, Widow Li's eyes darted around, and then she said in a tearful voice:

"I don't believe your nonsense. Although my only wish is to be with you, you've never said you'd give me a proper status. I am getting old, but I also want a peaceful home. If we keep sneaking around like this and get caught, I'll lose all face. All the chastity I've guarded my whole life will be ruined by you, sob..."

The widow Li seemed to become more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she couldn't help but cry.

Seeing this, Old Man Su quickly reached out to wipe away the tears on Widow Li's face, then pulled her into his arms and softly comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, Sister Li. If my old hag gets out of here before me, I will definitely marry you and take you home as my second wife."

Upon hearing this, Widow Li stiffened. She knew Granny Liu's health; she never worked in the fields and stayed home all day, well-cared for. She seemed strong and healthy, and had at least several decades left to live. If she really had to wait until Granny Liu died before entering the Su family, she would rather break off her relationship with Old Man Su as soon as possible and find a decent old bachelor than live like this.

So Widow Li abruptly shook off Old Man Su's arm and said unhappily:

"Alright, you don't need to lie to me anymore. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just can't let go of that old woman Liu. If that's the case, why did you come here to seduce me? Now my heart is in turmoil because of you. I can't do anything peacefully all day long. I'm always worried that our affair will be discovered. I don't know how people will despise us then."

As she spoke, Widow Li strode forward and said coldly:

"I don't need you to take me anymore. You should go home and live your life with your old lady Liu. Don't come looking for me anymore. I can't afford to waste my time with you."

After saying this, Widow Li ran home crying…

Old Su stood there watching Widow Li's retreating figure, and called out anxiously in a low voice:

"Li Meizi, don't be angry or cry. I'll come see you again another day. Be careful on your way back."

Seeing that Widow Li had no intention of turning around and acknowledging him, Old Man Su couldn't help but purse his lips and sigh:

"I had no choice but to do this. Who knew that even in my old age, I couldn't resist the allure of romance? Now that you two are fighting over me, I'm truly flattered. Alas, it's a pity that my body can't handle it anymore. If it were before, I would have been busy for at least an hour before I could let you go."

After saying that, Old Man Su smacked his lips a few times, shook his head helplessly, and strolled home with his hands behind his back…

the next morning,

Su Shiyan excitedly followed Su Banxia to the market, because Su Banxia had promised Su Shiyan that she would choose a nice outfit for him so that he would look presentable when he went to Luo Family Village to propose marriage.

Wang Guihua then went to find Old Man Wang, the only person in the village who knew a little about divination.

Is Grandpa Wang home?

"Hey, hey, who's here?"

Old Wang came out to open the door and saw Wang Guihua standing there. He smiled and welcomed her inside.

"Guihua, what brings you here today? Is there something you need from this old man?"

"Uncle Wang, I really need to trouble you with something today."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua handed the things in her hand to Old Man Wang. Upon seeing the things, Old Man Wang immediately beamed with joy.

"Oh dear, you just came like that, why did you bring anything? We live in the same village, we see each other all the time, how can I accept your things?"

"It's only right, please accept it, otherwise I'd be too embarrassed to ask you for it."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Wang took the things from Wang Guihua's hands, placed them on the ground, and said with a smile:

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll do my best to help if I can."

Wang Guihua smiled and sat down.

"Well, Mr. Wang, my son Su Shiyan is getting married soon, so I thought I'd ask you to choose an auspicious date. These are the birth dates and times of the two children. Could you please tell me when would be a suitable time for their engagement and wedding?"

Old Wang smiled and accepted the paper from Wang Guihua.

"I never expected Su Shiyan to be getting married so soon. This is a good thing. Let me do a calculation for you. Don't rush, sit here and wait for me for a while."

As he spoke, Old Man Wang took the papers into the house. A moment later, he came out, his face grave, and sighed as he looked at Wang Guihua.

"Logically, I shouldn't be saying such discouraging things to you, but I've watched Su Shiyan grow up, and there are some things I can't keep quiet about. I've seen something wrong in this divination, and I'd feel really bad if I didn't tell you, so..."

Seeing the old man's troubled expression, Wang Guihua composed herself and looked at him, saying:

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, just say whatever you want to say, I can handle it."

Old Wang sighed.

"This girl has such a hard life."

Wang Guihua nodded.

"This girl is a good person, with a good temperament. It's just that she has a hard life at her mother's house. She has a good-for-nothing younger brother, and her mother doesn't take her seriously, so life is tough for her."

Old Wang sat down, put down the paper in his hand, and slowly began to speak:

"What I mean is that even if this girl marries your son, her life will continue to be miserable. I won't beat around the bush with you. Her younger brother is not easy to deal with, and her mother is even worse. If you marry her into the family in the future, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua looked down at the birth date and time written on the paper, then reached out and put the paper away, clenching her sleeve tightly. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for telling me all this. Why don't you choose an auspicious date for us? I need to go back and discuss with my son whether or not to proceed with the marriage. That way, my trip won't have been in vain."
