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

Chapter 300 Who said that? I'll skin her alive!

With Lou Wangyue's help, the candied hawthorns sold very quickly. Everyone was surprised, as they had never seen the owner of Wangyue Tower set up a stall to do business before.

In addition, Lou Wangyue is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, so many women come specifically to buy candied hawthorns because they want to have a word with him.

After selling out of candied hawthorns, Su Banxia took Su Shiyan and the others to buy some things needed for the wedding. With that, they had almost everything prepared, and all they needed to do tomorrow was buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat at the market.

When Su Banxia returned to Sujia Village, it was already very late. Su Banxia thought that since she had seen Li Xiang today, she should tell Li Ayu about this matter, so that she would feel more comfortable and not be frowning all day.

With that thought in mind, Su Banxia informed Su Hanzhang and the others, then got off the oxcart alone and walked towards the old Su family courtyard.

As soon as we entered the hospital, that lowly Li Ayu was sitting in the courtyard again. Since there were no outsiders in the courtyard, Banxia quickly walked over and whispered in Ayu's ear:

“I saw Li Xiang today. I told him about your situation and that I was very worried about you. He said he would come to this courtyard at midnight five days from now to take you and the child back to the city.”

Su Banxia quickly finished speaking, and there stood Ayu, her hand holding the clothes, frozen in mid-air, tears streaming down her face.

She had only asked Su Banxia for this favor with a try-it-and-see attitude. She didn't expect Su Banxia to actually help her find Li Xiang, and she was even more surprised that Li Xiang would actually come to pick her up.

At this moment, Li Ayu was extremely excited. She hurriedly dropped the clothes she was holding, grabbed Su Banxia's hand, and looked at Su Banxia as if she were grasping a lifeline, nodding and thanking her repeatedly.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Su Banxia with a sincere expression and asked:

"Why wait five days? I truly can't stand staying in this house for even a day longer. If you hadn't come and said these things to me today, I might have taken the children and jumped into the river tonight..."

Su Banxia looked into Li Ayu's eyes and knew that she wasn't just trying to scare her. If Su Banxia hadn't decided to come by today, Li Ayu might have really taken the child and committed suicide by drowning tonight...

Su Banxia grasped Li Ayu's hand in return, looked at her firmly, and whispered:

“You must hold on until the day Li Xiang comes to rescue you. Five days later, he will have his own house to live in. He said he will provide you and the child with everything you need. You don’t need to bring anything. Just go with him and escape.”

Su Banxia glanced around the courtyard before leaning closer to Li Ayu's ear and whispering:

"At midnight five days from now, just listen for three meows from the courtyard. Then take the child and sneak out. That's all I can do for you. The rest is up to you."

After saying that, Su Banxia released Li Ayu's hand, stood up straight, and looked around the courtyard. Seeing that there was no other movement in the courtyard, she was slightly relieved.

Li Ayu, her eyes red, smiled and sniffed, then roughly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand before nodding heavily to Su Banxia:

"Thank you, Banxia. I really don't know how to thank you enough. Don't worry, I will definitely make it through the next five days and wait for Li Xiang to come and take me out in person."

As the two were talking, Su Ye returned from outside.

Su Ye put the hoe she was carrying on her shoulder down by the courtyard wall, looked up and saw Li Ayu washing clothes, her eyes red as if she had been crying. Seeing Su Banxia standing next to her, she casually asked,

"Banxia, ​​what brings you here?"

Su Banxia smiled.

"It's nothing. I just came back from the city. Don't think about coming to this yard to stroll around and see the children. Ayu said the children are sleeping inside, so I won't go see them. Now that there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Su Ye nodded.

"Alright, you can go back now. What's the point of looking at that worthless thing? Don't worry about it."

After saying that, Su Ye glared at Li Ayu again.

"You have to wash a few clothes all day long, and you're not efficient at all. I've just come back from the fields, and you still haven't cooked dinner? Go and cook dinner, and then come and do the laundry. I don't think you need to eat tonight; it would be a waste of food to give you food."

Upon hearing this, Li Ayu did not argue with Su Ye. She quickly put down the clothes she was holding and turned to go to the kitchen to start a fire and cook.

Su Banxia knew that Ayu had found hope in this place, so she didn't bother arguing with Su Ye anymore. After all, they were going to go their separate ways in the future, so why bother arguing over a few words?

Su Banxia was now curious about how Su Ye would react if he found out that Li Ayu had run away with the child.

Su Banxia shook her head. No matter what, it had nothing to do with her anymore. She could consider this a good deed, as it allowed Su Ye to break away from Li Ayu and return to her family, and it also allowed Li Ayu to break away from Su Ye and live a good life. In this way, both of them would be free.

Now that it was completely dark, Su Banxia walked back along the path alone. Halfway there, she heard rustling sounds coming from the cornfield by the roadside. It sounded like someone was talking. The sound was somewhat familiar. Who would be working in the field so late?

Although somewhat frightened, Su Banxia couldn't resist her curiosity and leaned closer to listen to the two people talking in the cornfield.

“Sister Li, didn’t I tell you to let your daughter go back to her husband’s house as soon as possible? He’s such a shrewd man, what kind of behavior is it for him to stay at his parents’ house all day? If the villagers find out, they’ll gossip about you and your daughter behind your backs.”

“Brother Su, what are you saying? This is my daughter’s family home. She comes back to stay for a few days when she has something to do. Do you think I can always expect her to stay? When I get old, I will be relying on my daughter to take care of me. If I do something too harsh now, who will take care of me when I get old?”

“Oh dear, my dear sister, I only said a few words, why are you so angry? You’re old, of course I’ll take care of you. I’m just thinking of you. I’m afraid the villagers will gossip behind my back. When I came back from the fields today, I heard some old women talking about you. They said you’re a widow, and your daughter has fallen out with her husband’s family and is coming back to live with her parents. They said your family has a line of widows.”

"Pah! Who said that? Tell me, and I'll skin her alive! I'll stop her from gossiping all day long. My family's affairs are none of their business!"
