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

Su Banxia was wondering why Su Songchuan seemed to be in such a good mood today, spending money so generously and no longer talking about buying on credit. But after hearing Su Songchuan's words, Su Banxia realized that it was because his marriage with Li Shuer was about to be settled, so he didn't care about spending a little money to make Li Shuer happy.

Soon, all the food Su Banxia brought was sold out, except for a boneless chicken. Su Banxia looked at Lou Wangyue, who was helping out, and said:

?

"I'm sorry, I didn't prepare enough ingredients today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make what you wanted. How about I prepare more ingredients tomorrow and make more for you so you can take it back with you? Is that alright?"

Lou Wangyue looked at Su Banxia and smiled gently.

"Okay, whatever you say is fine. But the people in my shop don't want me to eat right away. They'll cook for me when they have enough ingredients."

Su Banxia nodded, then poured the last bit of boneless chicken into the oil to fry.

"I'll give you the rest of these boneless chickens. Take them home and have a taste. Consider it a reward for helping me today."

Lou Wangyue remained silent, only smiling faintly as she watched Su Banxia's busy figure disappear into the distance. The food Su Banxia gave her felt different from the food she bought with her own money.

All he could think about was how he could marry Su Banxia in the future, so he could eat such delicious food every day and see Su Banxia's smile every day. Just thinking about it made him happy.

After Su Banxia finished frying, she wrapped up the boneless chicken and handed it to Lou Wangyue.

"This stuff should be eaten while it's hot. Try it first and see if you like it. If you do, I'll bring you more next time. You shouldn't keep coming here to see me. You're a person who does important things. It's not good if word gets out that you're always helping me set up a stall here. What will people here think of you? If you have some free time, just come and stroll around every few days. If you keep coming to help me like this every day, do you want to give up your stall?"

Lou Wangyue looked at Su Banxia with some hurt in her eyes.

"Banxia, ​​are you finding me annoying?"

Su Banxia shook her head.

"It's not that I find you annoying, it's just that you're a grown man, you should have your own things to do. What's the point of always revolving around me?"

Lou Wangyue smiled.

"As long as you don't find me annoying, I'm willing to revolve around you. Revolving around you makes me happy and content. I've taken care of everything at the shop before coming here, so don't worry, it won't interfere with my work."

Seeing Lou Wangyue say this, Su Banxia could only wave her hand helplessly.

"Fine, fine, do whatever you want. I can't argue with you. Alright, we're packing up now, you should go home too."

Lou Wangyue glanced at Su Banxia reluctantly before nodding.

"Okay, I'll be leaving in a bit."

Su Banxia was too lazy to care about Lou Wangyue anymore. She just lowered her head and packed her things. Now that there was a deep fryer to sell, she would have to wait for the oil in the fryer to cool down completely before she could leave.

After everything was packed away, Su Banxia and the others stood there waiting for the oil temperature to drop. Suddenly, a disheveled woman with messy clothes and hair rushed out from the street, startling everyone.

Lianhua, in particular, grabbed Su Shiyan's arm and hid behind him, nervously peeking out.

Su Shiyan then whispered words of comfort:

"Don't be afraid, Lotus. I don't think this person is a bad person."

Lianhua nodded, her eyes fixed on the woman. But the woman, as if possessed, rushed towards Su Shiyan and Lianhua. Before Lianhua could react, the woman grabbed Lianhua's arm and gripped her wrist tightly.

"Sister, save me, save me! You are my cousin Lotus!"

Lotus was already terrified. She never expected that this person would call her by name and say that she was her cousin. She just stood there dumbfounded, letting the woman grab her wrist.

It was Su Shiyan who reacted first, stepping forward to pull the woman's hand away, shielding Lianhua behind him, and scrutinizing the person before him with a stern face.

"Lotus, do you know who she is?"

Lotus looked at the disheveled appearance of the woman before her, racking her brains for a while, but still couldn't remember who she was. So she shook her head.

"I do not know her."

The woman seemed very nervous after hearing Lianhua's words and tried to rush forward to grab Lianhua's hand, but Su Shiyan blocked her firmly. Helpless, the woman could only explain:

"Sister Lianhua, I'm Cuihua from your uncle's family. Don't you remember me? We haven't had a good life since we left Luo Family Village a few years ago. Now my parents don't care about me anymore. They even sold me to a restaurant to support my younger brother, so I..."

After listening to Cuihua's words, Lianhua thought for a moment and then excitedly said:

"Are you really Cuihua? We haven't seen each other for so many years, how do you still recognize me?"

Just as Cuihua was about to speak, she heard several servants rush up from behind.

"You damned woman, where do you think you're going? You think you can get away!"

"Hurry up, she's right there, grab her!"

Cuihua was terrified and hid behind Su Shiyan, trembling as she said:

"Sister Lianhua, you're like my own sister, please save me! They treat me like I'm not human, they torment and torture me relentlessly, making me do all the dirty and tiring work, and they won't let me sleep at night. I... I really can't take it anymore..."

Seeing Cuihua like this, Lianhua's heart softened instantly. When they were children, she and Cuihua were the closest of friends. When her own mother didn't feed her enough, Cuihua would secretly bring food from home for her.

Because they both had younger brothers and weren't very high-ranking in their families, they had a lot to talk about and a sense of mutual dependence. Later, after Cuihua moved away with her parents, Lianhua never saw her again.

When Lianhua encountered Cuihua on the street, she was surprised to find that Cuihua was in such a pitiful state. Lianhua thought of the days when she and Cuihua depended on each other for survival, and she wanted to help Cuihua.

Lianhua knew that although her in-laws didn't say it outright in front of her, Su Banxia was the one in charge at home. So, Lianhua went directly to Su Banxia, ​​grabbed her arm, and pleaded with her:

"Banxia, ​​I know her. She's my cousin's sister. We've been inseparable since we were little. Now that she's fallen on hard times, I don't want to stand idly by. Can I help her go back home? Let her stay at our house for a while, and if we find her a way out later, we can let her move out, okay?"
