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

The group arrived at the gate of the Li residence in a grand procession, where servants were already waiting to greet them.

When the servant saw the future son-in-law arrive, he immediately stepped forward very attentively and helped everyone down from the oxcart.

"You've finally arrived! Our master has prepared food inside and is just waiting for you."

Seeing how respectful the servants of the Li family were to her son, Granny Liu straightened her back and arrogantly glanced back at the crowd.

"Don't embarrass me here, all of you hurry up and keep up."

After saying that, Granny Liu took the lead and walked at the front. But as soon as she entered the gate of the Li Mansion, she was stunned. The Li Mansion was indeed magnificent. Although it looked very grand from the outside, the design of the inner courtyard was even more unique.

Liu Pozi and the other villagers had never seen anything like this before; this was an eye-opener for them, thanks to Su Songchuan.

Upon seeing this, Qin immediately gripped Su Tao's hand tightly.

"Girl, look at how different this big family is. Their outhouse is bigger than our house. Slow down and take care of your belly. When we get to the feast, you don't need to say anything. Just focus on eating well and nourish the baby in your belly. The food here is not what we usually eat."

Su Tao nodded excitedly upon seeing the scene before her.

"That's right! My fourth uncle has really risen to the top. Look at the grandeur of his house. We'll never be able to live in such a nice house in our entire lives!"

Lin, standing to the side, echoed:

“Who says otherwise? Before we saw this nice house, we thought the house your second uncle built in the village was pretty good. Now, compared to this house, it’s really not worth looking at.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Qin snorted coldly.

“Even if the second wife’s house isn’t as grand as the Li family’s, we still haven’t lived in a house as nice as theirs. That house is the best we can get in the village, isn’t it?”

Seeing that Qin was contradicting her in her words, Lin frowned, turned around and glared at her reproachfully:

"Sister-in-law, today is the big day for our fourth son. Don't be upset with me. He's destined to have such a good life. We can only envy him. So don't feel resentful."

Qin spat on the ground.

"Pah! Who's upset? It's you who's always stirring up trouble! You're just hoping Fourth Brother and I won't get along! Is that even human language you're spouting? We're all happy for Fourth Brother that he's living a good life! How am I upset? You're just blurting out your true feelings!"

"Hey, you're getting all worked up over a few words. We're just joking around as sisters-in-law, and you're getting angry with me!"

Seeing this, Su Congxian immediately squeezed between the two, smiling as he tried to smooth things over.

"Hey, you two, stop talking! We'll be in the lobby soon, don't embarrass yourselves in front of them. Stop talking, stop talking, and walk properly."

Seeing this, Qin gave Su Congxian a flirtatious wink when no one was looking, and then said with a smile:

"Who says otherwise? We're here today to support Lao Si, so we can't let him down. From the beginning, you were right, just keep a good eye on your wife."

After saying that, Madam Qin turned around and walked to Su Tao's side, helping Su Tao to stride forward.

Lin was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot and even pinched Su Congxian a few times.

"You good-for-nothing, all you do is side with others. Your sister-in-law bullied me like that just now, why didn't you help me scold her?"

Su Congxian, enduring the pain, smiled and said:

"Oh dear, honey, don't be angry. If you get sick from being angry, no one can take your place. Today is the fourth son's happy day. Let's not argue with them. When we get there, just take good care of yourself, eat lots of good food, and we won't worry about anything else or say anything more."

Lin glanced at Su Congxian and snorted coldly.

"Stop pretending to be a good person. When your sister-in-law was talking about me just now, you didn't even say a word in her defense, humph!"

After saying that, Lin ignored Su Congxian and pulled Su Qingsong forward.

The servant led the group for quite a while before they arrived at the table. By then, the Li family's relatives were already seated, and they whispered among themselves when they saw the Su family members arrive.

Everyone knew that Su Songchuan was here to become a son-in-law of the Li family, so they looked down on the Su family from the bottom of their hearts.

"Look at them, how shabby they are dressed."

"That's right. I don't know what the Li family was thinking, condescending to become in-laws with such people."

"But their son-in-law is quite good-looking."

"Hehe, that's for sure, you were born to be a kept man."

As soon as Aunt Cai arrived, she warmly went up to Madam Li and took her hand.

"Oh dear, I had my eye on these two children from the very beginning. I never expected they would actually get engaged. The Su family is truly blessed! Others must be incredibly envious to have a family like yours as their in-laws."

Madam Li also picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile:

"It's all thanks to your discerning eye, sister, that you chose such a good son-in-law for our Shu'er. If they live a good life together in the future, that will be better than anything else."

Aunt Cai nodded, then turned and took Granny Liu's hand.

"That's right. In the future, when this news reaches the Li family, you, Granny Liu, will be able to relax. You won't have to worry about his family anymore. In the Li family, they'll have plenty to eat and wear. They'll live the best life imaginable."

Granny Liu smiled awkwardly and nodded. She had overheard the Li family's gossip about her, but she couldn't say anything, since what they said was true.

Now that she had practically sent her son to live with the Li family as a son-in-law, she naturally felt inferior to them. Therefore, when people gossiped about her, Granny Liu could only pretend not to hear and suffer in silence.

Since I chose this path from the beginning, there's no turning back now that I've come this far. I can only grit my teeth and move forward.

Thinking this, Granny Liu glanced back at her youngest son, only to find his eyes fixed on Li Shuer without moving an inch. She could only sigh silently in her heart. If the young couple could really make it work, then all her efforts would have been worthwhile.

Seeing that the Su family members were quite reserved upon arriving at her home, Madam Li warmly greeted them and had the servants lead them to their seats.

"Everyone here today is a relative of ours, so please don't stand on ceremony. Take your seats and give the order to start serving the dishes."
