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

When Widow Li heard that Old Man Sun was going to pay the money for her, she was secretly delighted. She knew that Granny Liu was not someone to be trifled with; if Granny Liu was determined to get the compensation money from her, Granny Liu wouldn't let her off easily if she couldn't produce it.

If Old Man Sun could pay this money for her, that would be wonderful. It seems that Old Man Sun really wants to live a good life with her. Anyway, Widow Li doesn't have much money. The New Year's goods were delivered to her by Old Man Su. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to celebrate the New Year.

Now that there was another old man, Mr. Sun, to clean up her messes, Widow Li was naturally happy, so she nodded while crying.

“Brother Sun, I knew you were a person of great character. You’ve been the best to me. I’ll always remember your kindness. It’s your generosity that you gave me this money. Unlike some people who are petty and calculating, who refuse to admit their mistakes and always try to find fault with others. I only regret that I was blind and didn’t discover your good qualities sooner. If I could have lived with you earlier, I wouldn’t have had to suffer all this injustice.”

Hearing what Widow Li said, Old Man Sun was even more excited. He immediately took off his shoes, took out a few pieces of silver from his foot bindings, and handed them to Granny Liu.

"Since the village head has spoken up for you, Granny Liu, I'll pay this money on behalf of Sister Li. Everyone saw it just now; you hit Sister Li quite a bit, so you two have become friends through a fight. This is all the money I have; please don't mind. I can't afford any more. This is my savings for my funeral over the years, and I'm giving it all to you. We live in the same village and see each other all the time, so please be forgiving and don't push things too far. If you ask me, let's just let this go and have a good New Year. What do you say?"

Granny Liu pinched her nose, looked at the loose silver coins Old Man Sun handed her, then gritted her teeth and nodded:

"Since you've said so, I'll accept the money for your sake. But you'd better keep an eye on Widow Li from now on and not let her cause trouble for people again!"

"Yes, you really have to keep a close eye on it!"

"That's right! We can't let her ruin the reputation of our village!"

"Old man Sun, can you keep an eye on her?"

Old Man Sun, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the comments from everyone, blushed and shouted loudly.

"Everyone can rest assured. As long as I live, I will never let your sister go out and mess around. I will never cause trouble for anyone or ruin the reputation of our village."

Seeing that Old Man Su had made such a vow, Granny Liu kicked him and cursed:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the money and come home with me. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? If you ask me, people like you should be beaten to death with sticks. I'm only sparing your life today for the sake of our children. If I find out about this kind of thing again in the future, I'll beat you to death!"

Old Man Su was so frightened by Granny Liu's shout that he trembled all over. He immediately reacted, reached out to take the silver from Old Man Sun's hand, and glared at Old Man Sun fiercely after taking the silver.

At this moment, Old Man Sun had no time to care about how Old Man Su was glaring at him. All he wanted to do was hurry home to hold Widow Li and cherish her, so he could experience the taste of a woman.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the village head waved his hand.

"Alright, now that the matter is resolved, everyone can go home. I don't want this messy stuff to get out of our village. It's almost Chinese New Year and we'll be visiting relatives, so everyone should be careful what they say. This isn't exactly something to be proud of. It's enough that the people in our village know. With the New Year coming up, everyone be careful with fire. Let's make sure nothing else happens during the New Year! Now everyone, go home and get busy!"

After hearing what the village head said, the crowd decided it was no longer appropriate to stay and watch the spectacle, and they left in hushed tones.

Several old men from the villages had long coveted Widow Li's body, but unfortunately, they had no chance. Now, seeing Old Man Sun holding the weeping Widow Li in his arms, they couldn't help but tease him:

"Hey, old man Sun, you've really gotten a great deal this time!"

"Hey, what great deal? It's just something that's been used before, secondhand or even thirdhand!"

"Oh, you can't say that. Old Sun has never been married in his life, and now he can finally be a groom every night. He's very happy!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Sun immediately blushed and waved his hand, saying:

"Go away, all of you! Stop standing here making sarcastic remarks! You're so old, you're really not well-liked! Go back home!"

After saying that, Old Man Sun took Widow Li into the courtyard and didn't forget to close the gate behind him.

Seeing this, everyone found it boring and waved goodbye to go home.

Granny Liu took Old Man Su back to the Su family courtyard and made him kneel down there.

"Tell me properly, when did you two start dating?"

Granny Liu tapped the ground with her cane as she angrily asked.

Old Man Su obediently knelt on the ground, head down, without saying a word.

Su Hanzhang, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned to Granny Liu to advise her:

"Mom, please remember not to get angry. Now that the matter has been resolved, I'm sure my father won't make the same mistake again. Why don't we just let it go? It wouldn't be good if people saw this during the New Year."

Upon hearing Su Hanzhang's words, Old Man Su immediately nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, old woman, our son is right. Your health is important. I'm just a worthless piece of trash, not worth your anger! Don't worry, I really know what's what this time. I'll never do anything to betray you again. We're both getting old, let's just live a good life from now on. I don't dare think about anything crooked anymore. Didn't I tell you long ago? If Widow Li hadn't seduced me, how could I have done something to betray you? You've been with me for decades, through thick and thin, and you've taken care of everything at home. I was truly bewitched to do such a thing. Please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, no one will be there to take your place. I'm already heartbroken enough. If you get sick because of this, how can I live my life? How can our whole family survive!"
