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

Wang Guihua couldn't help but feel displeased upon hearing Mandun'er's mother's words.

“Mother of Mandun, I’m telling you this today: you should stop thinking about my Banxia and your Mandun. They’re not a good match.”

After saying that, Wang Guihua went straight to the kitchen in the backyard, ignoring Mandun'er's mother who was standing there in a fit of rage. Seeing this, Mandun'er's mother didn't want to stay in someone else's yard, so she angrily slammed the door and walked out.

Originally, Wang Guihua wanted to give Mandun'er's mother some face, considering how much the village head had helped her family. However, Mandun'er's mother was stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason. Even though Wang Guihua had said her refusal so tactfully, she still didn't understand and acted all high and mighty. Anyone who didn't know better would really think that her daughter was determined to marry Mandun'er!

Thinking this, Wang Guihua unconsciously increased the force of her hands as she worked. While busy, she also thought about what Wei Kezhi had just told her.

Wang Guihua had seen Su Banxia's attitude towards Wei Kezhi, but after hearing Wei Kezhi's words that he would take Su Banxia to live in the capital in the future, wouldn't that be too far away from her? She was afraid that she would never see her again in this lifetime. Thinking of this, Wang Guihua felt a little reluctant.

Wang Guihua was understandably upset that her daughter, whom she had raised with such care, was about to marry into another family and become someone else's wife. Moreover, if Su Banxia really did marry into the capital, she feared she would never see her eldest daughter again.

However, she didn't want to do what Mandun'er's mother said and stop Su Banxia from getting married. After all, Su Banxia would have her own little family in the future, and she couldn't stay by her side forever.

Wang Guihua didn't know what to do at this moment, so she could only make dinner in a flustered state.

A little while later, Su Banxia and the others returned from the market. Wang Guihua heard the sound of the gate opening and immediately dropped what she was doing and ran out. As soon as she saw Su Banxia, ​​she rushed over, grabbed her hand, and led her to the backyard.

"Banxia, ​​come and help your mother with some chores. I haven't finished cooking yet."

Su Banxia nodded and turned to give the instructions:

"Okay, then you can take your time moving things down and tidying up. I'm going to the backyard to cook."

Erzhuzi shouted happily:

"Go ahead, Banxia, ​​I'll go and start a fire for you in a bit!"

Su Banxia was pulled to the backyard by Wang Guihua. Seeing that no one was coming, Wang Guihua, her eyes red, grabbed Su Banxia's hand and asked:

"Banxia, ​​what do you... think of Wei Kezhi?"

Su Banxia frowned.

"Mother, why are you suddenly asking about this? Wei Kezhi is a good person, but did he make you angry?"

Wang Guihua sighed and shook her head, saying:

“No, girl. Today he talked to me about proposing marriage. He said he would take you to the capital after the New Year and asked how much dowry our family wanted. He said we could ask for any conditions we wanted. I said I need to discuss this with your father first. I can’t just agree to it like this.”

Su Banxia hadn't expected Wei Kezhi to bring this up with Wang Guihua so quickly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

“Mother, he also told me about this yesterday. I told him that it can only be done if Father and Mother agree.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Girl, does what you're saying mean you like him? Do you really want to go to the capital with him?"

Seeing that Wang Guihua was crying, Su Banxia quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped away Wang Guihua's tears.

"Mom, please don't cry. What are you and Dad thinking?"

Wang Guihua shook her head.

“My mind is in turmoil right now. The thought of my daughter, whom I raised with such care, getting married makes me uneasy. If you go to the capital in the future, I'm afraid we'll never see each other again in this lifetime. I can't bear to part with you.”

Su Banxia smiled.

“Mother, don’t be sad. If I really do end up with Wei Kezhi, and I go to the capital with him and settle down, I will find a way to bring you all over. If we can establish ourselves in the capital, the child in Lianhua’s belly will be able to receive a better education in the future.”

Wang Guihua sighed upon hearing this.

“We’ve been farmers all our lives. Moving the whole family to the capital isn’t going to be easy. Forget it, I’ll think about it some more. I shouldn’t stop you from getting married. After all, you’re getting on in years. It’s not right for you to always stay at home. I hope you can have a better life in the future, but you’re marrying so far away. I’m worried that you’ll suffer in your husband’s family.”

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

“You let me know that you can’t bear to part with me, but people always have to grow up, right? Before, when I didn’t want to get married, you and my father kept urging me to get married. Even if I marry Lou Wangyue, I will inevitably have to go back to the capital to live with him in the future. So even if I go to the capital, I will not forget you and my father. As long as I gain a foothold in the capital, I will bring you over.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua looked up at Su Banxia.

"Daughter, do you mean you want to go with Wei Kezhi? I promised you before that you would make your own decision about your marriage. I would just help you make the decision. Now that you have a direction in mind, I won't interfere too much. But I still need to discuss this with your father before I can give you an answer."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Okay, Mother, I understand what you mean. You should discuss it with Father first."

After saying that, Su Banxia began helping Wang Guihua cook. At this moment, Su Banxia's mind was somewhat confused. After all, she also had feelings for the Su family. If she really did leave with Wei Kezhi in the future, she would definitely miss them. But right now, she hadn't yet established herself in the capital. If she rashly brought the second branch of the Su family there, she feared they would suffer with her.

Su Banxia had been thinking about opening a shop in the capital to do business in the future, so she had planned it before. Now that Wei Kezhi was able to come back to pick her up, it saved her the trouble of going by herself. The reason why Su Banxia had the idea of ​​going to the capital was that she had wanted to do business in the capital for a long time, and also because she really had Wei Kezhi in her heart and wanted to stay with Wei Kezhi forever.

Why she was so determined to choose Wei Kezhi was something Su Banxia couldn't quite explain. It wasn't because of his status as a prince, but more because she felt safer and happier when she was with Wei Kezhi.
