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

Chapter 297 Granny Liu's Claws

"I'll teach you to work hard, I'll teach you to always hang out with those shady people. I'll beat you to death today, you little slut! How do you manage to get everyone in our family to speak up for you?!"

As Granny Liu cursed, she increased the pressure on her hand. Su Banxia was about to step in to stop her when she saw Li Ayu shake her head at Su Banxia with red eyes.

Li Ayu knew that if Su Banxia stopped Granny Liu now, Granny Liu would beat her even more severely after Su Banxia left.

Right now, she doesn't ask for anything else. She only hopes that Su Banxia can find Li Xiang as soon as possible and that Li Xiang can rescue her and her daughter from this den of wolves. That would be enough for her.

Seeing Li Ayu's expression, Su Banxia naturally knew what she was thinking, so she sighed helplessly and turned to leave the Su family's courtyard.

When Su Banxia returned to the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain, Su Shiyan was busy serving meals, while Wang Guihua was busy unpacking the things Su Banxia had bought. Su Hanzhang greeted her upon seeing her return.

"Go wash your hands and eat quickly, we're all waiting for you, the food has just been served."

Su Banxia nodded in agreement. After Su Banxia came out, Su Shiyan had already prepared the food, and everyone sat down to eat.

"Banxia, ​​I heard from your older brother that Su Tao is pregnant. Is that true?"

Wang Guihua placed a piece of meat in Su Banxia's bowl and asked her a question.

"Yes, she is pregnant. I just went to the Su family's courtyard to tell them the news. Madam Qin was very happy to hear it and even wanted me to stay for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua pursed her lips.

“We wouldn’t dare eat the food from Old Su’s family, lest we be talked about for a year after eating it once. It’s right that you came back to eat here; our family doesn’t need their food.”

Su Banxia smiled.

“Mother, I didn’t know you were so shrewd. That’s what I thought too, so I didn’t eat at her place and came right back.”

With that, Su Banxia put down her chopsticks and sighed.

"But I think Li Ayu is also pitiful. My grandmother would take her anger out on her all the time. She made this woman, who was not even out of confinement, touch cold water and wash clothes. She was always beating and scolding her. Even the baby in the swaddling clothes could not escape Liu Pozi's clutches."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Wang Guihua's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked:

"You mean, your grandma even hit that baby who wasn't weaned?"

Su Banxia nodded, having lost her appetite.

"That's right. I never expected that Granny Liu would hit that child so hard. She slapped him so hard that he left five finger marks. It was heartbreaking to see."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. That child was born into such a family, and we outsiders can't interfere."

Su Banxia felt a pang of sorrow at the thought of Li Ayu and the child's pitiful state, so she stood up and said:

"Mom, I'm full. You guys continue eating. I'm going back to my room now."

"Okay, go ahead, you've had a long day. Go back and get some rest. You still have to go to the market to buy things tomorrow."

Wang Guihua replied.

Su Banxia nodded and turned to go upstairs. Xiao Hei had finished eating and followed Su Banxia upstairs happily. Although Su Banxia had intended for Xiao Hei to help guard the door, Xiao Hei was too attached to Su Banxia and always liked to follow her around. Even when sleeping, Xiao Hei wanted to sleep next to Su Banxia's bed.

Seeing that Xiao Hei had followed again, Su Banxia smiled and patted Xiao Hei's head, murmuring:

"Little Black, do you miss your master? I wonder where he is now, how he's doing. For some reason, I still think of him sometimes..."

At this point, Su Banxia felt a surge of anger and rolled over, cursing under her breath:

"You scumbag! You left without saying goodbye. Did you really think I'd remember you forever? I can't care about you anymore. Humph, just you wait. I'll never think about you again. We're people I'll never see again anyway..."

Su Banxia cursed as she silently closed her eyes and fell asleep...

the next morning,

After getting up, Su Banxia thought of the dashing image of Wei Kezhi on the battlefield she had seen in her dream last night, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"What am I thinking about..."

After saying that, Su Banxia shook her head and hurriedly went downstairs to wash up.

After Su Banxia finished getting ready, he led his people to the market. He then arranged for Su Shiyan to set up a stall and sell candied hawthorns. He mentioned that he needed to buy some more things for Su Shiyan's clarification and would need to shop around for a while longer. Su Banxia hurriedly went to the taverns that Li Ayu had mentioned earlier, but after visiting several, he couldn't find Li Xiang. Su Banxia also asked the innkeepers to keep an eye out for him.

However, perseverance pays off. Just as Su Banxia reached the last wine stall, she suddenly saw Li Xiang. He was drinking alone on the table, and his back looked very lonely.

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly. Seeing that Li Xiang's current situation was not much better than Li Ayu's, she decided that she had finally seen him. She would just ask Li Ayu to convey her message to him. What they should do and what choices they should make in the future was their business and had nothing to do with her.

Su Banxia stepped forward and patted Li Xiang on the shoulder. Li Xiang was already quite drunk and his eyes were blurry. When he looked up and met Su Banxia's cold eyes, he was startled and immediately stood up, waving his hands and saying:

"You, how did you get here? Ever since you found out about us, I haven't had anything to do with Ayu. Please don't hurt Ayu, and don't tell her husband about us..."

As he spoke, Li Xiang seemed to be thinking of Li Ayu, his expression becoming extremely forlorn. He swayed and slumped back into his chair, muttering to himself.

"As long as Ayu is doing well, I'm willing to do anything. I don't even need to acknowledge my child. I just want Ayu to have a better life. If I don't have the means, then let her stay there..."

Su Banxia sighed helplessly as she looked at him. Although he was not very capable, he seemed to be sincere towards Li Ayu. As long as the two of them were of one mind and worked together, they would definitely be able to make a living.

So Su Banxia stepped forward, patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, and said:

"Stop drinking. I have something important to tell you, it's about Li Ayu."

Upon hearing the name Li Ayu, Li Xiang's eyes widened instantly as he looked at Su Banxia, ​​asking nervously:

"Ayu, how is Ayu? She...she should be giving birth by now..."
