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

After seeing Qin Shi off, Wang Guihua returned to the main room with a guilty look on her face. She looked at Su Banxia and stammered, "..."

"Banxia, ​​I know what your grandma is thinking, but the thought of Su Mo still living in that courtyard makes me sad. She's getting married soon, she can't not even have a proper New Year. If I ask her to come to our courtyard for the New Year, she definitely won't come. But if your grandma and her whole family come, she'll definitely come too. Just think of it for my sake, let them stay in our courtyard this year. Don't worry, Banxia, ​​I will definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request next year."

Seeing how sincere Wang Guihua was, Su Banxia could only sigh helplessly.

“Mother, I know you feel sorry for Su Mo and want her to have a good New Year at her parents’ home before she gets married, but have you ever thought about whether she will appreciate your kindness?”

Wang Guihua lowered her head and began wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

“Sigh! I don’t care whether she appreciates my kindness or not, but she is still my daughter. No matter what, I, as her mother, can’t hold it against her. If you really go to live in the capital in the future, then Su Mo will be my only daughter. I have no choice.”

After hearing Wang Guihua's words, Su Banxia turned to look at Wei Kezhi, then sighed.

"Forget it, Mother, I won't get involved in this. You handle it yourself. They're just here for a meal, we can manage them. But you must keep a close eye on Su Mo and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. I don't want to be upset during the New Year."

Wang Guihua nodded happily as soon as Su Banxia agreed.

"Alright, Banxia, ​​I'll listen to you. After you finish eating, go back to your rooms and rest early. Tomorrow morning I'll go to the market with you to buy some New Year's goods. I know what we need at home."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Yes, Mother, you should go and rest too."

After Wang Guihua left, Wei Kezhi put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Su Banxia.

"Banxia, ​​I'm sorry. It was indeed a bit selfish of me to ask you to come to the capital with me, but I really don't want to leave you again. Why don't you bring your parents with you? That way you can feel at ease."

Su Banxia shook her head.

"Don't overthink it. It's my own choice to go with you. Besides, I'm not going to the capital just for you. I also want to go out and make my own way in the world. Right now, my sister-in-law is pregnant and can't travel. My parents definitely need to stay here to take good care of her and make sure the baby is born. I'll go to the capital first, and once I've established myself, I can bring them over later. Then I can bring them over to enjoy a better life. Right now, I can keep my stall going even if I don't have anything to do. They can also make money from this after I leave, so I'm not worried about them."

Wei Kezhi sighed.

“But you don’t seem to want Su Mo and the others to spend the New Year in your yard.”

Su Banxia shook her head.

"Su Mo's matter has nothing to do with you. Even if I don't go to the capital with you after the New Year, my mother will find a way to let Su Mo come home for the New Year. After all, Su Mo is a piece of her own flesh and blood, the daughter she raised from childhood. How could she bear to let her daughter spend the New Year away from home before she gets married? Don't overthink it. After you finish eating, clean up the food. I'm going upstairs to sleep."

Watching Su Banxia's departing figure, Wei Kezhi sighed silently, thinking only of buying her a house in the capital in the future, so that he could bring the second branch of the Su family to live in the capital as soon as possible, so that Su Banxia would not feel lonely living in the capital.

the next morning,

Wang Guihua came to the market with Su Banxia and the others. After helping Su Banxia and the others set up their stall, she worked there for a while and then went to the market by herself to buy New Year's goods. There was a market every day before the New Year, and many people were buying New Year's goods.

Wang Guihua usually stays at home preparing goods and busy tidying up the house, so she rarely goes to the market. Therefore, she was very happy to be at the market now, and she wandered around looking at this and that.

In no time, the basket on his back was full of purchases.

Wang Guihua thought that Su Mo was coming to her house for the New Year. Su Mo was staying in the old Su family's courtyard, so she probably wasn't eating anything good. She hadn't seen her daughter for so many days and missed her, so she bought all the things Su Mo liked to eat.

Seeing that it was still early, Wang Guihua thought she might take advantage of the market to buy some more dowry for Su Mo. The roof of the shop needed to be prepared by her family, as well as some daily necessities. Wang Guihua didn't want to prepare the dowry money for Su Mo, since she felt that Granny Liu should pay for it. As for these miscellaneous items, Granny Liu certainly wouldn't buy them for Su Mo, so Wang Guihua would have to prepare them for Su Mo herself.

Although Su Feng's family were all scoundrels, Wang Guihua couldn't very well let her daughter marry empty-handed. Everyone in the village would surely make comparisons, and if her daughter really married empty-handed, who knew how the villagers would gossip about her? Su Feng's mother was also a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited woman, and she might use this to mock her daughter for years to come. So, Wang Guihua didn't want her daughter to lose face.

So Wang Guihua thought of buying some fabric and cotton to make a quilt and a bedding for Su Mo, and also to make Su Mo an extra set of clothes. Everyone in the family would have new clothes to wear for the New Year this year, and it wouldn't be good to leave Su Mo out.

Little did Wang Guihua know that after she left her things at the shop entrance and went inside to select materials, the two thugs stole all the New Year's goods she had just bought. When Wang Guihua came out after buying her things, she found that her basket was gone. She was so upset that she sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Wang Guihua had also come from a period of hardship. Ever since Su Banxia started earning money, Su Banxia had taken care of everything for the household, from food to daily necessities. Wang Guihua had never helped and hadn't spent any money. Su Banxia would also give Wang Guihua some money for pocket money every month, which Wang Guihua carefully kept and never touched. She had planned to use it for buying New Year's goods, so she took extra with her.

To her dismay, all the New Year's goods she had just bought were stolen. Wang Guihua was heartbroken and couldn't help but sit on the ground and wail. All that money was earned by Su Banxia through hard work and saved up little by little. Now, the things she had just bought were gone. Wang Guihua hated herself for not being vigilant enough. How could she have felt that the things were just left open at the shop entrance?
