Su Mo stared blankly at Wei Kezhi's departing figure for a long while.

Although she didn't know why Wei Kezhi had saved her, she was genuinely grateful to him.

Just now, she even thought that with Wei Kezhi's handsome appearance, if she didn't become the wife of a high-ranking official, she would probably condescend to marry him, a hunter.

But now he's so cold to me. Did he really save me without expecting anything in return?

Su Mo stood there for a while before realizing that it was getting late. If she didn't hurry down the mountain, it would get dark and it wouldn't be safe for her to go down alone. Of course, Su Mo was also afraid that Su Feng would come back and hurt her again.

So he picked up a few wild fruits and hurried down the mountain.

After finishing the work in the fields with Su Hanzhang, Su Banxia went to the village head's house.

"Uncle Village Head, these are some salted fish and dried venison I made. Please try them later."

As soon as Su Banxia entered, she cheerfully handed over the gifts she was carrying. The village head glanced down, then naturally reached out and took them, placing them in his wife's hands.

"Banxia has grown up in the blink of an eye. You guys just came, why did you bring anything?"

Su Hanzhang scratched his head and laughed:

"It's nothing valuable, just our own food. I'm glad you don't mind, village head."

Aunt Ning, the village head's wife, smiled as she made tea for them:

"Hanzhang, what are you saying? Aren't we all farmers? If venison and salted fish aren't good things, then we don't have anything good at all."

The village headman picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Su Hanzhang, smiling as he said:

"Hanzhang, you've come here today because you have something to tell me, haven't you?"

Aunt Ning handed Su Banxia a cup of tea, smiling and gesturing for her to drink it.

Su Banxia nodded to Aunt Ning, then put down her teacup and looked at Su Hanzhang, waiting for him to speak first.

Su Hanzhang smiled sheepishly.

"Actually, we came here today to ask the village head to help our second branch of the family obtain the house deed for the plot of land at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, as well as the land deed for the surrounding land."

Upon hearing this, the village head frowned slightly and said:

Did Granny Liu agree to this?

Before Su Hanzhang could speak, Su Banxia quickly nodded and said:

“I agreed. The house and land at the foot of Dwarf Mountain were given to our second branch by my grandmother. Now our old Su family’s land has been divided. The land halfway up the mountain was given to the third branch, and the land by the river is being cultivated by my grandfather, my fourth uncle, and my aunt.”

The village head nodded upon hearing this.

"To be honest, I had heard about this before. When I heard them say that Granny Liu had separated your second branch of the family, I didn't quite believe it. But now that Hanzhang has come to tell me this in person, I believe it."

As he spoke, the village head blew on the tea leaves, took a sip of tea, and then continued:

"Since that's the case, I happen to be going to the city today, so I'll take care of this matter for you while I'm at it. You can come and pick it up tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang exchanged a pleased glance with Su Banxia and quickly nodded, saying:

"Then I'll have to trouble the village head."

After saying that, Su Banxia quickly pulled Su Hanzhang to her feet.

“Alright, Uncle Village Head, we won’t take up any more of your time. My father and I will come here at this time tomorrow to pick up the house deed and land deed.”

The village head nodded and got up to see them out.

When Su Banxia and Su Hanzhang returned home, they ran into Su Mo, who was running home with many turns back. Su Hanzhang frowned and said:

"Su Mo, what's wrong with you? Are you being chased by wolves?"

Seeing that it was Su Hanzhang, Su Mo felt slightly relieved and simply nodded.

"It's nothing, let's go back quickly."

As soon as Su Mo entered the courtyard, she heard Granny Liu talking to Su Yunhe.

"Yunhe, your Aunt Cai is bringing a guy to our house for a blind date tomorrow. You'd better dress up nicely. I heard that Aunt Cai carefully selected this guy for you, so you can't let him go again."

Su Mo smiled and nodded.

"Mother, don't worry, with your daughter's beauty, he'll be completely captivated at first glance!"

After overhearing their conversation, Su Mo decided that she should stay home and meet Aunt Cai when she came tomorrow.

Since her mother doesn't care about her marriage right now, she has to find a way out for herself.

Su Mo is now terrified by Su Feng's harassment. All she wants now is to get married as soon as possible, the farther away the better, so that she won't have to stay in Su Family Village and endure Su Feng's harassment any longer.

Thinking this to herself, Su Mo smiled and moved closer to Granny Liu, saying:

"Grandma, my aunt is going on a blind date tomorrow. I want to stay home and help out. I'd be happy to see her talking about marriage."

Granny Liu was worried about not having enough people to cook tomorrow, so when Su Mo offered to stay and help, she was naturally happy and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then you don't need to work in the fields tomorrow. Stay in the yard and help take care of the guests. Today, you should clean the yard first. Oh, and have your father carry away the manure. That way, it will be cleaner and more refreshing when the guests come tomorrow."

Su Mo nodded hurriedly.

"Then I'll flush the outhouse with water and clean the chicken coop and duck coop as well."

Seeing that Su Mo was so proactive, Granny Liu was quite pleased. Now that Wang Guihua and Su Banxia were no longer at her beck and call, Su Mo had appeared to serve her like a slave, which was really good.

Su Banxia, ​​who was washing her hands in the courtyard, saw Su Mo flattering Liu Pozi like that and naturally understood that when Aunt Cai came tomorrow, she also wanted to make a good impression on Aunt Cai so that she wouldn't have to worry about her marriage in the future.

Su Banxia didn't care what Su Mo was doing. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and in Su Banxia's eyes, Su Mo had stopped belonging to the second branch of the family from the day she betrayed them, so let her do whatever she wanted.

The next day,

The second family had just finished getting ready to go to work in the fields when they saw Aunt Cai, looking radiant, leading a burly man with a full beard in from outside.

Su Banxia almost burst out laughing when she saw this. As soon as Aunt Cai entered the door, she saw the now beautiful and elegant Su Banxia.

"Oh, I think this is Pinellia ternata. It looks so fresh and beautiful. Girls really do change a lot as they grow up. If I saw this on the street, even the fish wouldn't recognize it."

Su Banxia smiled and nodded at Aunt Cai. Seeing this, Su Mo quickly squeezed in front of Su Banxia and smiled obsequiously at Aunt Cai.

"Aunt Cai, do you still remember who I am? You used to hold me when I was little. You're still so young, you haven't changed at all!"

Aunt Cai looked at the somewhat pale and thin girl in front of her, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Oh my, you must be Su Mo! Look at your sweet words, they're like honey! I used to hold you when you were little!"
