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

Lin was very reluctant to listen to Su Banxia lecturing her, but when Su Banxia mentioned Granny Liu, she subconsciously glanced at Granny Liu, who was making pancakes not far away. Seeing that Granny Liu didn't seem to notice what she and Su Banxia were talking about, she breathed a long sigh of relief before turning her head and glaring at Su Banxia.

"My dear child, I'm only doing this for your own good. How could I possibly gossip about your aunt? Don't always be so ungrateful. I was just thinking that my brother's son is about your age and handsome, a rare good young man in our village. So I wanted to introduce him to you first. If the two of you can get together, wouldn't that be double the joy for our family?"

Su Banxia paused, wondering what Lin was up to. It turned out she wanted to give her Lin's nephew. So Su Banxia finished wrapping the last bun, stood up, and smiled at Lin.

"Don't worry about these things, Auntie. My parents will take care of everything for me."

After saying that, Su Banxia took the steamed buns and walked to Erzhuzi's side, asking him to steam the buns.

They worked until nearly midnight, and everyone's stomachs started growling. The steamed buns and dumplings were all wrapped, and the noodles for tomorrow morning were ready too. All the necessary side dishes were also prepared in advance.

Su Banxia then ladled the braised pork from the pot, giving each person a bowl, and also distributed steamed buns to everyone.

"Let's make do with what we have tonight. Tomorrow morning, if everyone comes to help, we'll make dumplings and noodles."

Tie Niu, holding a bowl in one hand and a steamed bun in the other, squatted under the eaves and said with a smile:

"Such delicious food, how can it be a compromise? We don't even get a little meat at home for days. The vegetables you've given me are meat, and the buns are meat too. It's really incredibly delicious."

Erzhuzi, who was standing to the side, took a big bite of his bun and chimed in:

"That's right, Banxia, ​​the buns you made are absolutely delicious, no one can compare."

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Su Banxia felt relieved. She then turned to look at Granny Liu, whose face seemed to show some disdain.

Granny Liu had expected a feast, but instead, a bowl of braised pork offal was all she got. Since everyone agreed, and she, as the grandmother, couldn't cause trouble in the courtyard, she could only eat with a frown.

Although this braised offal can't compare to fancy fish and meat dishes, it's still meat, which is quite good for someone like me who hasn't had a meat dish for several days.

So Granny Liu ate several bowls of braised pork offal in one go. Su Qingsong, a big eater, ate five bowls of braised pork offal, along with three steamed buns. He even insisted that Wang Guihua make him a bowl of dumplings separately. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was eating his enemy's food.

Lin was happy that her son could eat the sauce, so she felt that her hard work hadn't been in vain.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went home. Aunt Wu and the others also offered to come and help early the next day.

As for Uncle Niu and Tie Niu, they would arrive even earlier, as they would have to drive their oxcart to Luo Family Village to pick up their new bride early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning

Before dawn, the people in the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain had already begun their work.

"Hanzhang, I've prepared new clothes for you. Did you see them? After you finish tidying up the path in front of the yard, hurry back and change into them, so that when the guests arrive, you won't still be working in these tattered clothes."

Su Hanzhang responded with a smile:

"I understand, Osmanthus. You just go about your business and don't need to worry about me."

Upon hearing Sun Hanzhang's words, Wang Guihua busied herself going to the backyard to make dumplings. She knew that when Uncle Niu and the others arrived, they should eat the dumplings first before continuing their journey; it wouldn't be good to go to pick them up on an empty stomach.

Seeing that Wang Guihua was cooking dumplings while another large pot remained idle, Su Banxia said:

"Mom, remember to cook some noodles later. Some people can't eat dumplings in the morning, so we've prepared both dry and soupy options so they can eat whatever they like."

"Okay, Mom got it. Go check if your brother's all ready."

Su Banxia nodded, put down the basin of water she was holding, and went to knock on the door of Su Shiyan's room in the front.

"Big brother, are you awake yet? Uncle Niu and the others should be here soon. Hurry up and get dressed and come out to eat something, otherwise you'll be too busy to eat anything all day."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Su Shiyan hurriedly opened the door and stood nervously in front of her, saying:

"Little sister, do you think my clothes are right? Is there anything wrong with them? Could you fix them for me? And my hair..."

Su Banxia looked up and glanced at the nervous Su Shiyan, then smiled.

"Brother, you look very upright in this outfit. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. You are the most handsome young man in our village when you wear this outfit."

After scratching his head, Su Shiyan said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Is it really as good as you say? Don't we need to fix anything else?"

Su Banxia shook her head.

"Everything is fine, there's no need to fix it anymore. Let's go out and eat dumplings, Mom has already made them. I'll make the bed for you in this room."

As she spoke, Su Banxia pushed Su Shiyan out of the house. Su Shiyan walked out somewhat embarrassedly, but Su Banxia ignored him and went straight into the house. She took out the bright red wedding quilt that Wang Guihua had prepared for Su Shiyan and Lianhua and began to clean Su Shiyan's bed.

After making up the beds in the room, Su Banxia took a broom and swept the room inside and out again. She wiped all the ornaments on the table with a rag, and finally opened the window to let in some fresh air before leaving the room with peace of mind. After closing the door, Su Banxia went to the yard to take care of other things.

The Su family thought that if they came to the courtyard at Dwarf Mountain early to help out, they could also get a free breakfast. Last night, Su Qingsong had been thinking about the dumplings that Su Banxia had made, so he wanted to come early this morning and eat a few more bowls. So, just as dawn was breaking, he called everyone in the courtyard to get up, and a large group of people headed towards Dwarf Mountain.

Su Mo naturally went out with the Su family, but instead of going directly to the Dwarf Mountain courtyard, she took advantage of everyone's inattention and wandered around to Daya's house.

As for Daya's desire to marry Su Shiyan, it had naturally heard about it. It was no secret in the village. Now, Daya's family hated Daya for making such a fuss, which made it difficult for them to arrange a marriage for Daya in the future.

So when they learned that Su Shiyan was getting married today, Da Ya's parents locked her in the house and wouldn't let her go out.

Su Mo, of course, wouldn't let go of this golden opportunity to make the second branch of the Su family suffer...
