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

Upon hearing this, Lou Wangyue turned to look at Wei Kezhi, who was standing to the side.

"Brother Wei, it's been a long time! What have you been up to all this time?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Lou Wangyue was speechless after Wei Kezhi's words, while Su Banxia smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"The New Year is just around the corner. We'll stay here for a few more days and then stop setting up our stall. There's not much work to do these days, and we have enough manpower to handle things. You don't need to come to our stall every day, so as not to interfere with the business of the shop."

Lou Wangyue, somewhat anxious, explained after hearing Su Banxia's words:

"Actually, I've finished all the work at my shop. I've given all the shop assistants the day off these past few days, and I don't have much to do. I can come over and help out for a few days. By the way, the New Year is coming soon, and I was thinking of finding some time to visit your parents and bring them some New Year's gifts."

Su Banxia smiled.

"Don't be so polite. I haven't even sent New Year's gifts to your family yet, so how could I trouble you to send them to my family first? Besides, you've helped me a lot these days, and I don't know how to thank you enough. How could I accept your gift first?"

Wei Kezhi, who was standing to the side, also chimed in:

"Yes, Banxia's family doesn't need your little favors."

Lou Wangyue frowned upon hearing this.

“Giving New Year’s gifts is a matter of etiquette, how did it become a small favor? Brother Wei, you can’t speak so harshly.”

Wei Kezhi snorted and went to move his things, ignoring Lou Wangyue.

Lou Wangyue turned to look at Su Banxia again.

"No matter what, I'm definitely going to deliver this. You can pick a suitable day later, and I'll bring it over. You can't possibly not welcome your friend visiting your home, can you?"

Seeing that Lou Wangyue had already said this, Su Banxia quickly waved her hand and said:

"How could that be! We won't be setting up our stall in three days. You can come then, and I'll be able to treat you properly."

Lou Wangyue was overjoyed to see that Su Banxia had agreed.

"Okay, I've got it. I'll bring some things to visit my uncle and aunt later."

Su Banxia nodded and busied herself setting up the stall. Lou Wangyue, seeing this, quickly followed to help. Wei Kezhi, noticing Lou Wangyue constantly getting close to Su Banxia, ​​became somewhat displeased and snatched the things from his hands, coldly saying:

"Banxia, ​​didn't I tell you? You don't need to help with this, I can help. You should go back and run your shop."

Seeing that Wei Kezhi disliked her so much, Lou Wangyue also gave him a cold look.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just take care of your own business."

After saying that, Lou Wangyue ignored Wei Kezhi and went directly to Su Banxia's side to help her pack.

Looking at the backs of Lou Wangyue and Su Banxia standing together, Wei Kezhi couldn't help but feel a little sad. Was this how Lou Wangyue stayed by Su Banxia's side when she wasn't around?

Looking at their backs, they seemed more like a family...

Thinking this, Wei Kezhi could no longer hold back. He rushed forward, pushed aside Lou Wangyue, and stood between the two, coldly saying:

“You don’t need to help here. I’m enough. If you really want to help, go help Brother Su. Can’t you see he can’t handle everything by himself? You have no sense at all.”

Lou Wangyue glanced at Su Banxia, ​​who was making dorayaki with her head down, and then at Su Shiyan, who was frying dough sticks. Not wanting to make things difficult for Su Banxia, ​​he sighed helplessly and went to Su Shiyan's side to help.

After Lou Wangyue left, Su Banxia looked up and glared at Wei Kezhi.

"Be nicer to Mochizuki. He's helped me a lot and is my friend. Don't always target him."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Wei Kezhi paused in his actions, a deep sadness welling up inside him. He turned his head slightly to look at Su Banxia's profile, sighed helplessly, and said in a muffled voice:

"Well, I see."

Wei Kezhi now regretted that he had been out of his mind when he left. Why didn't he take Su Banxia with him? Why did he have to leave Su Banxia in Fuping County to develop a relationship with Lou Wangyue? Now Su Banxia was even speaking up for Lou Wangyue. Wei Kezhi felt terrible. He should have known better than to leave Su Banxia here alone. He must take Su Banxia with him when he returned to the capital this time.

While busy working, Su Banxia also attracted customers. By noon, all the goods were sold out. As the end of the year approached, there were many people coming to the market, so the goods on their stall sold out very quickly.

Seeing that everything was sold out, Su Banxia told Wei Kezhi and the others that she was going to buy some New Year's goods and asked them to help tidy up the stall. She would be back in a little while.

After Su Banxia left, Wei Kezhi walked up to Lou Wangyue and said:

"After the New Year, you won't need to come and help anymore."

Lou Wangyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Kezhi.

"how do I say this?"

"Banxia will come back to the capital with me then, whether we can set up this stall or not is another matter."

Lou Wangyue frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"But Banxia never told me about this."

Wei Kezhi snorted coldly.

"Hmph, who are you to her? Does she have to tell you everything? I'm not afraid to be blunt with you. This time I brought Banxia back to the capital to marry her. I know what you're thinking about Banxia. I'm telling you this so you won't be too fixated on it. Just give up on that idea as soon as possible."

Lou Wangyue felt a tightness in her chest and looked at Wei Kezhi, saying in a deep voice:

"Do you think I'll believe whatever you say? Banxia has never mentioned any plans to get married. Why would she go back to the capital with you to get married? Does she not even care about her parents here?"

Wei Kezhi looked at Lou Wangyue and said, word by word:

“I’ll say it again, Banxia has nothing to do with you. Who she marries, where she marries, and whether she cares about her parents are none of your business. You have no right to interfere in Banxia’s affairs.”

Seeing Wei Kezhi like this, Lou Wangyue clenched her fists.

"What is your relationship with Banxia? She has never mentioned wanting to marry you in front of me. Can a hunter like you give Banxia happiness? Do you want Banxia to spend her whole life running a stall with you?"

Wei Kezhi sneered.

Whether I can give Banxia happiness is not your concern. I advise you to stay away from Banxia as soon as possible, so as not to force me to take action.

Lou Wangyue looked at Wei Kezhi with a sullen face.

What if I don't listen to advice?

"You'll see when the time comes."

After saying that, Wei Kezhi ignored Lou Wangyue and went to help Su Shiyan move things.

After everyone had finished packing their things, they sat there waiting for Su Banxia for a while. When Su Banxia still hadn't returned, Wei Kezhi became a little anxious, so he greeted Su Shiyan and went inside to look for Su Banxia.
