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

Su Banxia originally only wanted to cover up the two taels of betrothal money that Aunt Luo mentioned, but she never expected that things would turn out so dramatically. If Aunt Luo hadn't slapped Su Songchuan, she wouldn't be being beaten to the ground by Granny Liu, Qin Shi, and Lin Shi right now.

Seeing this, Fu Bao wanted to help her mother fight back, but Su Congxian stopped her.

"Hey, young man, let those old women handle their own affairs. If we men get involved, things won't be so simple."

Seeing his mother beaten black and blue, Fu Bao couldn't just stand by and watch. He couldn't hear Su Congxian's words at all and just wanted to break free from Su Congxian's hand and rush up to help Aunt Luo fight.

Unfortunately, Su Congxian was also strong, and Fu Bao, with his bulky flesh, was no match for him. So he could only shout and tear at the sidelines, but his body did not move an inch.

Seeing that Su Songchuan seemed about to lose his balance, Su Banxia remembered that he was also an innocent victim, so she quickly went over to help him to a chair nearby.

"Fourth Uncle, you'd better not say anything right now. Sit down and rest. Aunt Luo isn't reasonable. If you keep talking, this matter will never end."

While covering his swollen face, Su Songchuan pointed at Aunt Luo, who was wrestling with Granny Liu, and said in a tearful voice:

"Oh, oh, how can this old woman be so ungrateful? Mother, you'd better be careful, don't let her hurt you. She's a crazy old woman, you can't reason with her! Oh!"

As the hosts of the wedding, Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang naturally couldn't stand by and watch the group fight endlessly. So, Su Hanzhang walked over to Wang Guihua and nudged her arm.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go and try to persuade them. If others see this, they will say that our family is not kind, watching our mother-in-law being beaten without doing anything. Just stand by and loudly persuade them, and don’t let them hurt you again.”

Wang Guihua was stunned for a while by the sudden turn of events. Only when Su Hanzhang came up to remind her did she remember to go and break up the fight. So she hurriedly nodded and stumbled over.

"Oh dear, please stop hitting us! Don't let anyone die in our family! Alright, alright, Mother, please stop hitting us! Oh dear, this was supposed to be a joyous occasion, how did it turn into this?"

Wang Guihua slapped her thigh and shouted loudly.

Several women in the village, seeing that Aunt Luo seemed to have been dealt with enough, also pretended to come forward to break up the fight. However, several of them were biased towards one side, since they were all from the same village and could distinguish between those close to them and those not.

These people also felt that Aunt Luo was being unreasonable. She had already received such a high dowry from the second branch of the Su family, but now she was asking for more money. It was infuriating. They told Granny Liu to teach her a lesson so that she would remember it.

At this moment, Aunt Luo was pinned down by Granny Liu and slapped several times, all the while cursing loudly:

"Oh, you Lotus, you've only just gotten married and you've already forgotten your mother! Where have you been? Your mother is being beaten and you don't even know to come out and help her! Ouch, ouch, don't hit me, it hurts! Lotus, you better get out here! Do you still want this marriage?"

The louder Aunt Luo screamed, the harder Granny Liu hit her. Qin and Lin were mainly there to hold Aunt Luo's arms and legs to prevent her from kicking and thrashing around, so as not to hurt Granny Liu further, which would mean having to pay for Granny Liu's medical treatment.

Now that Granny Liu is fighting, her two daughters-in-law naturally can't be left out. If Granny Liu brings this up later and thinks about which daughter-in-law didn't step forward to help, they'll definitely be given the cold shoulder for days.

Just as everyone was in a state of chaos, the door to the bridal chamber was suddenly opened with a loud bang.

"Stop fighting! My mother was wrong. There was no extra two taels of silver as a betrothal gift. She made it up all by herself."

When Su Shiyan thought of all the suffering and beatings Lianhua had endured at her parents' home, he felt a sense of relief seeing Aunt Luo being beaten on the ground by Granny Liu, so he didn't go forward to interfere.

But now that Lianhua has come out and said that fighting is forbidden, he, as the son-in-law, naturally can't stand idly by. So Su Shiyan rushed forward, grabbed Granny Liu, and picked her up, muttering something under his breath.

"Grandma, calm down. Don't hit him anymore. Don't hurt him. You'll have to spend money on his medical treatment later."

When Granny Liu heard that she had to spend money to treat someone's illness, she immediately lost her previous arrogance. After all, she had used all her retirement money to support her youngest son, so how could she possibly have any money left to treat Aunt Luo's illness?

So Granny Liu struggled and jumped off Su Shiyan's arms. She stole a glance at Aunt Luo's bruised and swollen face, suppressed a laugh, tugged at her clothes, and then coughed a few times.

"It's not that serious. I knew my limits. After all, she's your mother-in-law, and I'm her elder. I just got angry and wanted to teach her a lesson so she wouldn't cause trouble and suffer later. Besides, if she hadn't hit your fourth uncle first, why would I have hit her? It was just her own fault for being so impulsive."

As if remembering something, Granny Liu immediately ran to Su Songchuan's side, took his hand, looked him up and down, and asked with concern:

"Oh dear, my good son, are you alright? You really scared your mother to death just now. Next time, don't rush forward like that. How can a scholar like you be a match for those peasants!"

Su Songchuan shook his head helplessly at Granny Liu.

"Mom, I'm fine now. I feel much better. Don't worry about me."

Aunt Luo was dizzy and disoriented from being beaten by Granny Liu, her head buzzing. She barely managed to stand up, and when she turned her head, she met Lianhua's red, tear-filled eyes. Her temper flared up again immediately.

"Your mother was beaten up like that outside the courtyard, and you didn't even come out to help. I've truly wasted my time raising you. I don't know how I raised such an ungrateful wretch. Come with me, come home with me. This family is fickle, rude, and even dared to hit me. We're not getting married. I'd rather you stay at home as an old maid and die here forever than let you marry this Su Shiyan! Bah! What two-story house, what rich family? Do you really think I care about your stuff?"
