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

Chapter 296 I refuse to believe my life is ruined by the Su family.

Just as Su Banxia was about to speak, she heard Su Mo say coldly from behind:

"Su Banxia, ​​you are truly laughable. Haven't you always disliked your aunt? Why are you now coming to our courtyard to find her? Are you trying to use some tricks again?"

Su Banxia snorted coldly upon hearing Su Mo's words.

"Do you think I'm like you, doing nothing productive all day but trying to find ways to cause trouble for others, always acting like a sly fox!"

Having said that, Su Banxia ignored Su Mo's exasperated appearance and went straight to the main room.

"Auntie, are you inside? I have something to tell you!"

Qin was packing her boxes inside when she suddenly heard Su Banxia's voice. She was a little surprised; why would Su Banxia suddenly come looking for her? Although she was reluctant, she still went out and opened the door.

"Banxia, ​​what brings you here today? What do you need me for?"

Su Banxia looked at Qin Shi and said:

"Today when I was in town, I happened to run into Su Tao going to the market. She got into an argument with Liu Qing'er at the market, and in a fit of anger, she fainted."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Qin Shi couldn't help but anxiously say:

"What? Su Tao fainted? Is Su Tao alright right now? Should I go to the city to check on her? And that Liu Qing'er, why does she always provoke our Su Tao? She's not even officially recognized, what's she doing always causing trouble?"

Su Banxia shook her head.

"You can go see her if you want. She's doing much better now, but the doctor found out she's two months pregnant. Su Tao wanted me to come back and tell you the good news."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Qin was surprised and said:

"What? Su Tao is pregnant? That's great! Is there anything wrong with her health now?"

Su Banxia shook her head.

"It should be nothing serious. I only heard the doctor say that Su Tao should take care of herself and not get too angry. I don't know what Zhang Guang and the others are planning. Why don't you go to the city to see them? I don't know the specifics. Su Tao only told me to come back and give you some good news."

For once, Madam Qin was kind to Su Banxia, ​​grabbing her arm and trying to pull her into the house.

"Come inside quickly, Banxia. Sit down for a while. You've been working hard delivering the message. Oh, Su Tao is so promising. She's only been in the city for a few days and she's already pregnant. I'll definitely go to the city to see her when I have time and see if she needs my help."

Su Banxia waved her hand.

"Auntie, I won't go in. It's enough that I've delivered the flowers to you. I'll be going now; my family is waiting for me to eat."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Qin glanced somewhat awkwardly at Granny Liu standing in the courtyard, then whispered:

"Why don't you eat in our yard tonight? I made a lot of dinner."

Su Banxia smiled.

"No need to trouble yourself, Aunt. My parents have already prepared a meal and are waiting for me. I'll head back now."

Seeing Su Banxia say this, Qin nodded and smiled:

"Then I'll go out and see you off."

Su Banxia waved her hand.

"There's no need for formalities between us. Auntie, I just happened to be passing by when I delivered this message to you. You should go back to your room and get on with your work."

With that, Su Banxia ushered Qin Shi back into the house, then strode out of the courtyard. There, she saw Li Ayu still squatting in the corner washing clothes.

Su Banxia frowned and walked over.

"Li Ayu, didn't I tell you not to wash these clothes? Hurry up and go back inside to look after the children."

Li Ayu glanced timidly at Granny Liu, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, then tugged at Su Banxia's sleeve and whispered:

"Banxia, ​​I really can't take it anymore. Granny Liu beats and scolds me all day long, and she even colludes with Qin to bully me. I have endless chores to do every day. If I take a break to breastfeed my child, she accuses me of being lazy and shirking my responsibilities. If I stay in your Su family any longer, I'm afraid my child and I will die in this courtyard."

Su Banxia waved her hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

“It’s not our Su family. We have no connection with the Su family anymore. My parents would never do such a heinous thing.”

Li Ayu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then secretly glanced at Granny Liu, noticing that she hadn't noticed them yet. She then quickly whispered to Su Banxia:

"Banxia, ​​I only ask you for a favor. If you see Li Xiang in the city, you must tell him about my current situation. If he is a kind person, he should try to find a way to bring me and his daughter back."

Su Banxia frowned upon hearing this.

"Now you've finally figured it out. It's not a bad thing that you want Li Xiang to take you out. If you stay in this courtyard any longer, you probably won't get any pleasantries. I didn't expect my grandmother to go this far. It's true that you're in a terrible situation here. But there are too many people in the city, with people coming and going every day. Even though I sell candied hawthorns in the city, I can't guarantee that I'll run into Li Xiang."

After listening to Su Banxia's words, Li Ayu pondered for a moment, then quickly grabbed Su Banxia's hand and pleaded:

"Banxia, ​​if you don't mind, please do me this favor. Li Xiang only frequents a few taverns. Although he doesn't drink much, he occasionally goes for a few drinks with friends. If you happen to pass by any of these taverns, please go in and look for him. You can also ask the tavern owner if they know his whereabouts. After all, he's a regular at those taverns, and the owner knows him."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Tell me, I'll try my luck tomorrow. If I do run into him, I'll tell him the truth about your current situation. What to do next is up to him."

With red eyes, Li Ayu nodded gratefully to Su Banxia. Seeing that Granny Liu hadn't noticed what was happening, she leaned close to Su Banxia's ear and whispered:

“He often goes to Zuixianlou in the west of the city. Occasionally, when he runs out of money, he will go to the small tavern with the first stall at the vegetable market. Or he will go to Ruyifang in the east of the city. He only goes to these few places. If I can’t find him, then I have no other choice. Banxia, ​​just help me find him and try my luck. I don’t believe that my fate, Li Ayu’s fate, is to be ruined by the Su family for the rest of my life.”

Upon hearing Li Ayu's words, Su Banxia looked at her sympathetically, then nodded to her, indicating that she agreed to the matter and reassured her.

Granny Liu finally finished feeding the chickens. Turning her head, she saw Li Ayu holding Su Banxia's arm, whispering something to each other. She rushed over, grabbed Li Ayu's arm, and started slapping Li Ayu across the face...
