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

Chapter 271 Su Shiyan Hit Someone

Aunt Luo burst into laughter upon hearing Wang Guihua's words.

"Oh dear, in-law, what are you saying? My son was just praising your daughter's looks. She is indeed very pretty. If she really marries my son, he will definitely not suffer. Wouldn't it be better if we became even closer relatives?"

Lotus frowned upon hearing this. She knew her younger brother best; how could she let Banxia fall into this trap?

If Su Banxia really marries her own younger brother, there will definitely be constant conflicts in the family. What will Su Shiyan think of her then?

Lianhua felt a headache coming on just thinking about all this. He didn't want Su Shiyan to be caught in the middle in the future, and he certainly didn't want Su Banxia to suffer after marrying into the family.

After spending time with Su Banxia these past few times, Lianhua felt that her sister-in-law was a very good person, and treated her with great sincerity and without holding grudges. She couldn't let her down.

Thinking this through, Lianhua ran over and grabbed Aunt Luo's arm, signaling her to stop talking.

"Mother, you should go back and get busy. You don't need to worry about what's going on in front. Today is my engagement day. My brother is so disgraceful and has really brought shame to our family. You should let him take the food and go back inside to eat."

Aunt Luo flew into a rage upon hearing Lianhua's words.

"Well, Lotus, I've finally seen your true colors today. You haven't even married into the family yet, and you're already speaking up for them like this. Don't you know where your roots are? Don't you know who gave birth to you and raised you?"

As she spoke, Aunt Luo pointed to Fu Bao, who was sitting to the side.

"Don't you know who your biological brother is?"

Hearing Aunt Luo stand up for him, Fu Bao also stood up defiantly, stood in front of Lianhua, and slapped Lianhua across the face.

"Let me tell you, Lotus, don't think I won't hit you just because you're my sister. You have to listen to me no matter what. I said I want him to be my wife, so you have to bring him back to be my wife!"

At this moment, Su Shiyan could no longer sit still. Not only did Fu Bao bully Lianhua, but more importantly, he didn't treat his own sister like a human being. This kind of scum even dared to dream of marrying his older sister. He was simply shameless.

Su Shiyan rushed up and punched Fu Bao, knocking Fu Bao to the ground. Fu Bao had never suffered such an injustice since childhood, and he sat on the ground and started crying.

Seeing her son being beaten, Aunt Luo rushed over to help Fu Bao up, calling out with heartache:

"Oh dear, how could you hit Fu Bao? He's just a young boy, he speaks softly and gently, don't take it to heart. Besides, he's your brother-in-law. You haven't even married Lianhua yet, and you dare to treat Fu Bao like this. Looking at you like this, I absolutely cannot marry my daughter to you."

Wang Guihua was furious when she saw Aunt Luo and Fu Bao talking about coveting Su Banxia. But she never expected that Su Shiyan would actually hit Fu Bao. Originally, she was in the right, but now Su Shiyan's actions made her seem unreasonable.

Grandma Sun was clearly frightened, so she rushed over to mediate.

"Oh, Su Shiyan, don't take it to heart. Sit down quickly. You can't get angry about this. We're all family, all family."

Seeing Su Shiyan's expression, Lianhua couldn't help but feel moved. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been bullied by Fubao, and no one had ever been willing to stand up for her. Now that Su Shiyan was willing to hit Fubao for her sake, Lianhua felt only joy and gratitude. She wished Su Shiyan would hit Fubao a few more times to shut Fubao's foul mouth and stop him from spouting nonsense all day long, trying to taint Banxia.

Now that Su Shiyan had calmed down, he was afraid that what Aunt Luo had said earlier was true, and that she would break off his marriage with Lianhua for the sake of Fubao. So Su Shiyan spoke up:

"Aunt Luo, I acted impulsively and hit someone. It was wrong of me. Please don't be angry. I apologize to Fu Bao. It's just that what Fu Bao said and did was really infuriating."

As he spoke, Su Shiyan turned to look at Fu Bao, and said awkwardly:

"Fu Bao, I acted impulsively just now. I apologize to you. You can punch me again if you want."

Fu Bao was furious and felt wronged, so she reached out to hit Su Shiyan. Seeing this, Lianhua immediately pulled Su Shiyan behind her and took the punch from Fu Bao.

Although Fu Bao never did any farm work or housework, and spent his days eating, drinking, and idling, he was still a man, and naturally stronger than a woman.

That single punch sent Lotus staggering, causing her to fall back into a chair with a muffled groan of pain…

Seeing this, Su Shiyan quickly went to help her up, and Lianhua asked with concern:

"Lotus, are you alright? Did I hurt you?"

Lianhua smiled, took Su Shiyan's hand, and shook her head at him.

"It's okay, I'm not in pain. I'm used to being beaten by him all the time."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan clenched his fists again, wishing he could pin Fu Bao to the ground and give her a good beating right then and there. He simply couldn't imagine what kind of life Lianhua was living in this family.

She was unloved by her father and mother, and had a younger brother who bullied her every day, beating and kicking her. She was only a woman in her early twenties, so why did she have to suffer such hardship?

Thinking this, Su Shiyan wished he could marry the lotus today, so that she wouldn't have to suffer alone in Luo Family Village anymore.

Lotus naturally noticed the anger in Su Shiyan's eyes, so she quickly grasped his hand and shook her head, signaling Su Shiyan not to act impulsively.

Lianhua didn't want any more trouble at this moment. If, as Aunt Luo said, she were to refuse her marriage to Su Shiyan, Lianhua would truly regret it to death.

She had never cared about the hardships she had endured before, but now that she had met Su Shiyan, she knew what sweetness in life was. She didn't want to sever her connection with Su Shiyan like this. If she really couldn't marry Su Shiyan, then there would be no point in her living.

Seeing Lianhua shake her head at him, Su Shiyan naturally understood what she meant, so he suppressed his anger and looked at Fubao.

"How about that? Now that your sister has beaten you up like this, are you happy? If that's not enough, then punch me a few more times."

Su Shiyan said this because he was worried that after they left today, Fu Bao would still be angry and take it out on Lianhua. Since he wasn't around, Lianhua wouldn't tell him if she was wronged. Just thinking about it made Su Shiyan's heart ache...
