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

Just as everyone was busy with their own fun, the sounds of gongs and drums, along with the festive suona horns, could be heard outside. This was a gong and drum team that Su Banxia had specially invited from a neighboring village so that Su Shiyan's wedding could also be lively and festive.

Normally, people in the village don't hire gongs and drums and suonas for weddings, but Su Banxia didn't want Lianhua to suffer in this matter, so she invited them back together. This way, there was a gong and drum performance in both villages, which looked quite lively.

The villagers followed the sound of gongs to the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. Those related to the second branch of the Su family were led to their seats by Gousheng, while those not related watched the commotion from outside.

Su Banxia naturally wouldn't let the people who came to watch the excitement go home empty-handed, so she specially arranged for her fifth aunt to help scatter the wedding candies. Some of these candies were peanut brittle that Su Banxia made herself and wrapped in red paper, while others were shortbread candies bought in the city.

When everyone saw that there were wedding candies to eat, they rushed forward to grab them, saying auspicious words all the while.

"There's also wedding candy to eat, everyone come quick!"

Wishing the newlyweds a sweet and happy marriage!

"Give me a piece of candy!"

"The second branch of the Su family is indeed living a good life; this wedding was truly dignified."

"Yes, how many people in the surrounding villages can afford to be as generous as them, with gongs and drums and suonas? They're even distributing wedding candy to everyone right now. They're really generous!"

"That's right. If my family weren't so distant from theirs, I could have been a part of their wedding feast too."

"I heard it from Aunt Wu. There are five or six meat dishes in today's meal, and a total of 12 dishes on the table. Who else can afford such a feast!"

"Oh dear, you know perfectly well that the second branch of the Su family is always very generous. When they were building their house, they treated people to meals just like that, didn't they? They were willing to spend money on both meat and vegetables!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and when they turned their heads and saw the lotus flower covered with a red veil on the oxcart, they too began to praise it.

"This girl is truly blessed to have married into the second branch of the Su family."

"That's right. If I had known that Su Shiyan was going to arrange a marriage, I would have brought my niece to meet him. Now, someone else has snatched this good thing away."

"What's the rush? Doesn't he have an unmarried daughter? If you have any nephews or anything, find them and let them find a match!"

"Oh dear, you're joking. Look at Su Banxia, ​​she's so arrogant. My nephew is no good at all, why bother bringing him here to embarrass himself!"

"I heard that his youngest daughter's marriage to Su Feng has been arranged, and they will get married after the New Year."

"Is this really true? If she really marries that scoundrel Su Feng, wouldn't this young girl's life be ruined? I don't know what the second branch of the Su family is thinking."

"Sigh, I heard from Su Feng that his youngest daughter was eager to marry him."

Hidden in the crowd, Su Mo clenched her fists as she listened to the whispers. "I'll show you all that you look down on me!" she thought. "Now I'll let you all watch the show!"

Amidst the commotion, Su Shiyan carried Lotus into his house. Aunt Luo followed behind, feeling extremely proud that her daughter had married such a good son-in-law and had such a good family. She was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling. Hearing the villagers' compliments, she was even happier.

Fu Baozi, who was following behind, kept peeking into the backyard, wanting to see what delicious food had been prepared and what Su Banxia was busy with.

Ever since he met Su Banxia, ​​he had been thinking that he would like to marry her. However, his mother forbade him to get involved with Su Banxia again because of his sister's marriage. Fu Bao felt that his mother did not care about him anymore. Because of this, Fu Bao not only resented his mother, but also resented Lianhua.

Hearing the commotion in the front yard, Su Banxia thought she would come over to help greet the guests. As she walked from the back to the front, she saw Fu Bao peeking around and frowned.

Su Banxia just wanted to quietly avoid it and not greet Fu Bao, so as not to cause any trouble on Su Shiyan's wedding day and make both families lose face.

Just as Su Banxia was about to pass by Fu Bao, she saw Fu Bao's greasy hand grab her wrist.

"Banxia, ​​where are you going? I just arrived, won't you show me around your yard?"

Su Banxia turned around and glared at Fu Bao, then flung his hand away and said coldly:

“I have to go to the front yard to greet the guests now. If you want to see, feel free to wander around.”

As Su Banxia was about to head towards the front yard, Fu Bao wouldn't let her go. She grabbed Su Banxia's sleeve and whispered in her ear:

"Am I not a guest today? You don't need to take care of others, just take good care of me. I am Lianhua's younger brother from her maternal family. In a way, I am your elder brother's brother-in-law. I am an important guest. If you don't serve me well, then I might as well not let this marriage go!"

Upon hearing Fu Bao's shameless words, Su Banxia clenched her fists, wishing she could punch him in the face right then and there. However, remembering that today was an auspicious day and not wanting to bring bad luck, she suppressed her anger and turned to Fu Bao, saying:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that Su Banxia did not resist, Fu Bao became even more emboldened, looking Su Banxia up and down, and then said with a wicked smile:

"I don't have any other requirements. Didn't I already say that I want you to marry me? That way, our two families can become even closer through marriage."

Before Su Banxia could speak, a fist came hurtling towards Fu Bao's face.

"Who do you think you are, daring to say such things to Banxia?"

Su Banxia turned her head and met Lou Wangyue's angry eyes. She had never seen Lou Wangyue hit anyone before. At this moment, Lou Wangyue seemed to have some of the true nature of a man.

Before Fu Bao could react, Lou Wangyue shoved his hand away, pulled Su Banxia behind her, and looked at Fu Bao coldly, saying:

"I don't care who you are, get out of here right now, and don't let me see you again. If I see you again, I'll beat you up every time!"

Fu Bao was about to start cursing, but when he saw Lou Wangyue's cold aura, he became somewhat afraid. He saw that Lou Wangyue was dressed very elegantly and did not seem to come from a peasant family, so he did not dare to make any rash moves.

So he took a few steps back, covered his swollen eye with one hand, and pointed at Lou Wangyue and Su Banxia with the other, stammering as he spoke:

"You, all of you, you ganged up on me! You just wait, I'm going to tell my mother right now!"
