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

Cuihua looked at Fifth Aunt and said:

"Fifth Aunt, if you have any business to run, give it to me. I'll help you out. I can't just stay at my cousin's house for free, can I?"

Aunt Wu said with a smile:

"I don't have any important business to make, can you help me skewer the candied hawthorns?"

Cuihua found a stool, sat down next to the sewage, and started stringing candied hawthorns like the sewage itself.

"Fifth Aunt, do you really think these little candied hawthorns can earn so much money?"

Aunt Wu spoke as she bent down to string candied hawthorns:

"I don't know how much or how little, but Banxia pays us on time every month. We don't think too much about it. We just want to have something to do. It's much better than farming."

Seeing that she couldn't get any information from her fifth aunt, who was supposed to be helping, Cuihua gave an awkward smile.

"Yes, it's much better than farming."

After saying that, Cuihua seemed to remember something else.

"By the way, Aunt Wu, my brother-in-law and my sister met through a blind date?"

Fifth Aunt smiled.

"That's right, it was Grandma Sun from the west end of our village who introduced them. You should know Grandma Sun, right? She's your cousin's great-aunt. I never thought that the two of them would actually hit it off after she introduced them. But these two can be considered a pair of star-crossed lovers. Now that they're married, it's like they've finally made it. Look how harmonious their life is now."

Cuihua nodded upon hearing this.

"Speaking of which, I seem to remember Grandma Sun. She was the one who introduced my sister and brother-in-law to each other. You know, Grandma Sun has a good eye. Look how well my sister and brother-in-law match."

Fifth Aunt put down the candied hawthorn in her hand and nodded:

"That's right. If you ask me, Grandma Sun has a keen eye and arranged such a good marriage. But your sister's mother is no good. Don't be angry when I say this. You didn't know that when they got married, your sister's mother was interfering in everything and doing all sorts of bad things."

Cuihua listened to Fifth Aunt's words and a thoughtful smile appeared on her lips. She then said:

"Yes, my aunt has never treated my sister well since she was little. My sister didn't enjoy any happiness when she was young, but now she's married and living a good life. I really envy my sister."

Seeing Cuihua like this, Fifth Aunt patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"You are a good girl too. You will definitely find a good marriage and a good husband in the future, and live a good life like your sister."

Cuihua sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, I'm not as lucky as my sister. I don't know what the future holds, so I'll just live on."

Seeing that Cuihua was so negative, Aunt Wu said a lot of comforting words to her. The two chatted and laughed while working, and Wang Guihua did not come out of the house until Su Banxia and the others returned.

Fifth Aunt rushed to greet Su Banxia when she returned.

"Banxia, ​​you must go and persuade your mother. She went to the old Su family's courtyard and hasn't left the house all day since she came back. I don't know what's wrong with her. I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me. I called her for lunch, but she didn't come out to eat. She just said she had no appetite. How can a person not eat? She definitely has to eat tonight."

Su Banxia frowned slightly after hearing her fifth aunt's words, then nodded and said:

"Okay, Fifth Aunt, you can prepare dinner. I'll go in and call my mother to come out for dinner."

After saying that, Su Banxia put down what she was holding and went straight to Wang Guihua's room.

"Mother, it's me, Banxia. Open the door, I have something to tell you."

Wang Guihua spent the whole day at home sulking, feeling both upset and wronged that her daughter didn't understand her and even spoke harshly to her. This made Wang Guihua feel that all the kindness she had shown Su Mo before had been completely worthless.

Hearing that Su Banxia had returned, he didn't think of anything else and jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) to open the door for her.

"Banxia, ​​you're back. I haven't had time to cook yet. I'll go and cook for you right away."

Seeing that Wang Guihua's eyes were swollen and red like a pair of walnuts, and her face was extremely haggard, looking completely exhausted, Su Banxia reached out to help her up.

"Mom, stop nagging. Aunt Wu has prepared the food. Tell me what happened. You seem a bit down."

Wang Guihua lowered her head, sniffed, and sighed:

"It's nothing serious, it's just that your little sister is making me angry. I was planning to talk to her today about breaking off the engagement with Su Feng, but she's like she's made up her mind to marry Su Feng. I don't know what kind of spell Su Feng has cast on her, she's so reluctant to part with him. I'm really going to be driven crazy by her."

Seeing that she had guessed correctly, Su Banxia realized that Wang Guihua was definitely troubled by Su Mo's matter, so she smiled.

"Mother, don't worry about her. It's her own business if she suffers in the future. You've tried to persuade her, but she won't listen. Why bother making trouble for her? Just do what you're supposed to do when she gets married, and we won't worry about anything else. You took her to Su Feng's house to break off the engagement last time, but you know how things turned out. Why are you going to fawn over her and make a fool of yourself?"

Wang Guihua sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, it's not that I don't want to get involved in her affairs, it's just that she's really disobedient and won't let me get involved at all. Now I can't help it even if I want to. Sigh, just like you said, let her be. Everyone has their own fate. What can a mother like me do?"

Su Banxia nodded.

"Mom, it's good that you've come to your senses. Hurry up and go out to eat. Everyone is waiting for you outside. Aunt Wu said you didn't eat lunch, so you have to eat well tonight to avoid ruining your health. Otherwise, our family will have no hope."

Wang Guihua nodded helplessly and followed Su Banxia out. She didn't want to upset everyone because of her own problems. After all, she hadn't done anything all day and had been lazy. She decided to go out and have dinner with everyone.

After everyone was seated, Su Banxia began to speak:

“Now that our business has grown and we have more stalls, we won’t need so many people to go out and sell candied hawthorns anymore. We can just let Gousheng and Erzhuzi go out and sell them, and then set up a candied hawthorn stall next to our fried dough stick stall. Let my dad watch over it. When the fried dough stick stall gets busy, my dad can come and help out.”

Su Hanzhang nodded.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, honey. You can decide what to do."
