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

Chapter 295 Our Su family doesn't support those who just eat for free.

After everyone had bought most of their things, Su Banxia called them to go to the city gate to take Uncle Niu's oxcart home.

Upon returning to Sujia Village, Su Banxia immediately thought that she should inform Qin Shi about Su Tao's pregnancy, lest she forget about it later when she was busy.

So Su Banxia said to Su Shiyan:

"Brother, I have to go to the teacher's house. You go home first, take your things and head back. I don't know when I'll be back. Don't wait for me for dinner, just leave some for me."

"Okay, I understand, little sister. Go ahead."

Su Banxia had Uncle Niu take her to Old Su's house first, and then had them drive the oxcart to the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain.

Before Su Banxia even entered the courtyard, she could hear the sounds of fighting and cursing coming from inside.

"You jinx! I asked you to do the laundry, where did you go? There's so much chores piled up at home, and you don't help with a single thing. You just lie in your room. Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding in your room?"

Granny Liu was standing at Li Ayu's door, shouting and cursing into the room. There was no response. Seemingly enraged, Granny Liu went up and kicked open Li Ayu's door.

"You little hussy, I've said so much to you outside, and you haven't responded at all. I'd like to see what you've been up to in there."

Li Ayu, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) breastfeeding, was startled when Granny Liu suddenly kicked the door. The baby in her arms, who had been drowsy, began to cry loudly.

Granny Liu was already annoyed, and seeing the child still crying, she couldn't help but curse:

"You good-for-nothing, all you do is cry and cry all day long. You always ruin any good things that happen in the family. How could your jinxed mother have given birth to such a worthless brat? It's truly a sin! Shut up right now, or I'll slap you!"

Seeing this, Li Ayu immediately hugged the child tightly and covered the child's mouth. She was afraid that Granny Liu would really hit her premature baby, so she looked at Granny Liu pleadingly and said:

"Mother, I was wrong. Please don't worry. I'll go out to work as soon as I finish breastfeeding the baby. I definitely won't delay your work. I'll wash all the clothes today. Please don't be angry, and please don't hit the baby. She's still your granddaughter."

Granny Liu snorted coldly.

“I’ve tolerated you for a long time. You’ve been eating for free in our house for so many days now, and I haven’t said anything. Don’t think I’m being too harsh on you. After all, you didn’t give birth to a boy. They say a mother’s status depends on her son. Now that you’ve given birth to a money-losing child, you naturally won’t be very valuable.”

As she spoke, Granny Liu went forward and pulled at Li Ayu's quilt.

"I've already said all this, and you're still lying on the kang (heated brick bed) without moving. Do you really want me to beat this good-for-nothing to death and kick you out of the house?"

Granny Liu didn't tolerate Li Ayu's behavior and slapped the baby's bottom. A red handprint immediately appeared on the baby's soft, white bottom. Upon seeing this, Li Ayu immediately hugged the child tightly, crying as she said:

"Mom, I already told you, I'll go downstairs to work after I've put my child to sleep. Please don't hit her, she's still so young, she doesn't know anything yet. If you want to hit her, then hit me!"

As soon as Li Ayu said this, Granny Liu slapped her across the face in a fierce manner.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to talk to my son when he comes back so you won't have to do the chores outside, right? I'm telling you to get back to work right now. Why are you making such a fuss? If you've given birth to this brat, just cry all you want. What's wrong with crying yourself to death?"

With red eyes, Li Ayu hugged the child tightly, shaking her head and crying:

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Mom, please don't be angry. I'll go down and do some work right now, okay? Please don't hit me."

As she spoke, Li Ayu gently put the child down, wrapped her in a small blanket, and, fearing that Granny Liu might come up and take her anger out on the child again, glanced at Granny Liu warily. Seeing Granny Liu glaring at her angrily, Li Ayu naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so she quickly got up, put on her clothes, and got off the kang (a heated brick bed).

As soon as Su Banxia entered the courtyard, she saw Granny Liu grabbing Li Ayu's ear and ordering her around. Li Ayu hadn't even finished her postpartum confinement, and Granny Liu was already cruelly making her touch cold water. If she developed postpartum illnesses later, it would be a lifelong problem.

Thinking this, Su Banxia stepped forward, grabbed Li Ayu's arm, and pulled her up. She then looked at Granny Liu and said:

"Grandma, what are you doing? You're still healthy, you don't need to make Li Ayu, who's in her postpartum period, wash your clothes, do you?"

Granny Liu was already resentful because Old Man Su was always wandering around outside, and now that Su Banxia dared to come to her house and interfere in her family affairs, she became even angrier.

“Su Banxia, ​​I’m really giving you face. I’m your own mother. Why do you always side with outsiders and not with me? I’m making Li Ayu work now because I don’t want him to just stay at home and eat for free. I’ve said it before, we don’t support people who eat for free in the Su family.”

As she spoke, Granny Liu glanced up and down at Li Ayu.

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

"Grandma, what are you saying? I remember before our second branch of the family separated from the Su family, didn't you dump all the housework on us? If I remember correctly, back then my third uncle and eldest uncle's families were just freeloaders, right? Why didn't you say back then that the Su family didn't support idlers?"

Granny Liu was speechless with anger after Su Banxia's words, so she glared at her.

"This rule didn't exist before, that was before. Now this rule exists, and I am the rule of the Su family!"

As she spoke, Granny Liu glared impatiently at Su Banxia.

“Now that the second branch of your Su family has separated from us, why do you keep coming to our yard to wander around? What are you doing meddling in our family affairs? Go home and stop loitering around here. I get really annoyed just looking at you.”

Su Banxia couldn't help but smile after hearing what Granny Liu said.

"What? Now that I'm telling the truth and hitting you where it hurts, you don't want to listen? I'm not here to see you today, I'm here to see Qin Shi. Is she in the courtyard?"

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Granny Liu couldn't help but look at Su Banxia suspiciously.

"What do you want with Qin? When did you start having dealings with her again?"
