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

Upon hearing Su Shiyan's words, Granny Liu felt a lump in her throat and pointed at Su Shiyan, cursing:

"You brat, you're really infuriating! You're hopeless! I was thinking of teaching your wife a lesson so you could have an easier life, but instead you're protecting her like this. Keep protecting her, you'll never amount to anything. Go away, get on with your business, and don't let me see you again. Just looking at you gives me a headache!"

Seeing that Granny Liu had said this, Su Shiyan sighed helplessly and turned to leave the house.

Seeing this, Cuihua quickly went over and started massaging Granny Liu's shoulders. Granny Liu was the only one who had said she wanted Su Shiyan to marry her, so Cuihua had to take good care of her. As for the others, she would have to deal with them later…

"Grandma, please don't be angry with Shi Yan. He had no choice. He married my sister first. You know, you don't know what kind of person someone is until you live with them. Grandma, do you feel comfortable when I massage you like this?"

Granny Liu was very pleased to see that Cuihua was willing to try to befriend her.

"Hmm, that's the right amount of pressure. Press the left side a bit more. Not bad, not bad. Cuihua, I've got my eye on you. Come visit my yard more often when you have time, so Grandma can dote on you."

Upon hearing this, Cuihua pursed her lips happily and nodded, saying:

"Don't worry, Grandma, I'll come see you whenever I have time."

Lin and Qin went to the backyard to help in the kitchen reluctantly. Seeing their pouting faces as soon as they entered, Wang Guihua jokingly teased them:

"Oh dear, what's wrong? What's bothering you during the New Year?"

Mrs. Lin picked up the vegetables from the ground and started washing them.

“What could be unpleasant during the Lunar New Year? I’ve never seen anyone make guests do chores when they visit someone else’s house.”

Lin thought that Wang Guihua was a weak-willed person and that she would be too embarrassed to say anything if she complained a few times, so she directly expressed her dissatisfaction.

Wang Guihua had come to the backyard to cook for the whole family today, and she was already in a bad mood. Seeing Lin Shi's pathetic state, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Third sister-in-law, what are you saying? You really think you're a guest. Since you're being so polite with me, then I'll be polite in return. What New Year's gifts did you bring me to our house today? Show them to me!"

Lin was surprised that Wang Guihua, who was usually not very talkative, would ask her for a gift for the festival. They had come empty-handed to freeload, and Lin was even thinking that if they couldn't finish the food, they could pack it up and take it home so they could eat for a few more days. She had no intention of preparing any gifts. Besides, it was Granny Liu who said she wanted to come, and she had only come with Granny Liu. Granny Liu hadn't prepared any gifts, so why should she prepare any?

Thinking this, Lin straightened her back and said:

"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Our mother didn't bring anything with her when she came. Besides, you know that our Su family is run by our mother. We don't have any money, so how can we afford to buy you gifts for the festival? We're all family, why are you making such a fuss?"

Wang Guihua smiled.

"Now you've remembered we're family again. Didn't you say earlier that you were a guest and didn't have to do any work? Since we're family, I won't stand on ceremony. You're in charge of kneading this dough, letting it rest for a while, and saving it for making dumplings. Also, wash these vegetables and chop the filling. Oh, and since there are many people eating today, we'll make three different flavors. You're in charge of chopping the filling."

"Ah, I'm going to be exhausted from kneading so much dough by myself. I thought I'd have a relaxing time eating at your place, but it's more tiring than eating at Old Su's house."

Seeing this, Su Banxia also laughed.

"Third Aunt, I saw my Third Uncle sitting there eating sunflower seeds. Why don't you go and call him in to knead the dough for you? Men are strong and best suited for kneading dough."

Upon hearing this, Lin put down the basin she was holding, turned around, and walked out.

“Yes, we women are all busy working in the back, we can’t let these men sit around doing nothing. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. I’ll go and call your third uncle over to help with the work!”

Seeing this, Madam Qin pouted unhappily and said:

“Look at your third aunt, she can’t do any chores herself, she’s always nitpicking and afraid of being taken advantage of. Look at how she’s made your grandma, she was a perfectly healthy person but now she can barely walk!”

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

"Aunt, let's not talk about those things today. Let them resolve their own affairs. We have no say in this, and we can't make decisions for them. Today is the New Year, so let's just enjoy the holiday."

Seeing that Su Banxia had already said this, Qin Shi didn't know what else to say and could only lower her head to pick vegetables.

Before long, Lin pulled Su Congxian into the house.

Lin pointed to the noodles on the table and said unhappily, "

"You knead this dough; I can't handle it."

Su Congxian looked at all the noodles on the table and was a little troubled. He scratched his head.

"There are so many old women in your kitchen who can't do this much work, so you have to call me in to help. What man goes into the kitchen during the New Year?"

Upon seeing this, Madam Qin immediately spoke up:

“That’s right, didn’t I tell you, Third Sister-in-law? There’s no need to call Third Brother in for such a small task. Look at the trouble this has caused. It’s nothing serious. Let’s take our time. We can eat it whenever it’s ready. What’s the rush?”

Lin glared at Qin.

"Sister-in-law, please stop interfering in everything. Our family affairs are none of your business. My husbands are the ones who help me in the kitchen. My eldest brother doesn't listen to you, but my third son listens to me. My third son is different from your husband. Please don't take on everything yourself. I'm just lucky that my husbands dote on me and don't let me do so much work. Isn't that right, third son?"

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian's face stiffened. He glanced awkwardly at Qin Shi, then stammered:

"Hmm, yes...yes...okay, I'll do it. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now. The sooner we finish making them, the sooner we can eat. I'm a little hungry right now."

Qin snorted coldly.

"She has no other skills, all she knows is to push her husband. If you ask me, Third Brother, you spoil her too much. If other families had such a troublesome wife, they would have slapped her long ago. Why would she need to make such a fuss? Look how angry she has made our mother. You don't even know how to discipline her. You're too soft-hearted. If you keep spoiling her like this, she'll take you for granted!"
