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

Su Congxian, who had been restless in the courtyard, saw Su Qingsong return with Lin Shi and immediately took advantage of the crowd's inattention to sneak up to them.

"Wife, I hit you just now, you can't be angry with me, right?"

Lin turned her body away, completely ignoring Su Congxian.

Seeing this, Su Congxian grinned mischievously and said:

"Wife, I had no choice but to do that. Didn't you see I held back when I hit you? I was just putting on a show for others. If I hadn't hit you in time, who knows what others would have said about you. We're a couple, we always make up before we get out of bed. There's no hurdle we can't overcome. Please don't be angry with me. I'm not worried about you not having food, so I specially sent Qingsong to call you back!"

Lin turned around and glared at Su Congxian.

"At least you have some conscience. Knowing I hadn't eaten, you sent Qingsong out to chase after me instead of just eating here by yourself."

Su Congxian chuckled and tugged at Lin's sleeve.

"Of course, I can never forget my wife, can I? Wife, don't argue with my mother anymore. Let her say whatever she wants, just pretend you didn't hear her. She's getting old now, and it's not good for her to be angry all the time. What if she really gets angry to death because of you? If word gets out, our family's reputation will be ruined. You have to think about our son, even if you don't think about yourself. What do you say?"

When Lin saw Granny Liu faint, she was quite frightened. She was afraid that Granny Liu had really been angered to death by her. In that case, she would not only be involved in a murder case, but her son's future would also be ruined. Now, after hearing what Su Congxian said, she understood. In the future, no matter how Granny Liu caused trouble, she would just treat her as a dead person and ignore her. Why bother getting angry with someone who was practically on her deathbed?

Thinking this, Lin turned around and glared at Su Congxian.

"I know, stop dawdling and go eat. The dumplings will get cold soon, and I've been hungry all morning."

Seeing that he had finally appeased Lin Shi, Su Congxian happily nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go eat. I've already saved a table for you."

The two then led Su Qingsong to his seat.

After everyone was seated, Su Hanzhang invited them to start eating.

"It's not easy for us all to get together for the New Year. Although Mom is still lying in bed, we still have to make the most of it. Everyone, don't be shy, eat whatever you want, there are plenty of dumplings."

Before Su Hanzhang could finish speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

I only had a bowl of congee this morning, and after a whole morning of fussing around, I'm starving.

Su Mo, however, had no appetite and was preoccupied with figuring out how to get closer to Wei Kezhi, as she didn't want to give up this opportunity that was so close at hand.

Finally, after much wandering, she squeezed herself down next to Wei Kezhi and sat down.

"Brother Wei, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I've really missed you. You may have misunderstood me before. How about I pour you a drink as an apology?"

As she spoke, Su Mo picked up the wine pot, preparing to pour wine for Wei Kezhi. Upon seeing this, Wei Kezhi immediately reached out and snatched her wine cup back.

"No need. I have a lot of work to do this afternoon, and I'm not planning on drinking."

Su Mo was stunned for a moment in embarrassment upon seeing this.

"Well, well, it's alright to have a drink. It's New Year's Day today, and besides, the yard is all cleaned up. The women have already done the cooking tonight, so you men don't need to."

Wei Kezhi waved his hand impatiently.

"I said I wouldn't drink, and that means I won't."

Just then, Su Shiyan was refilling wine for everyone in the wine pot. When he reached Wei Kezhi, he saw him talking and said:

"Brother Wei, what's wrong? What did you say?"

Wei Kezhi shook his head.

"nothing."

"Okay, you've been helping us set up our stall at the market every day these past few days. You've worked hard. Let's have a good drink tonight."

As he spoke, Su Shiyan filled his wine glass to the brim.

Wei Kezhi did not refuse, but simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Su Mo clenched her fists. Why did he refuse to drink when she poured him wine, but readily accepted wine when his older brother poured it for him?

Could she really be that bad? Su Mo really couldn't understand what she had done wrong to make Wei Kezhi hate her so much, after all, she hadn't done anything too outrageous to Wei Kezhi.

So Su Mo looked directly at Wei Kezhi and asked:

"Brother Wei, where did I offend you to make you target me like this? You refuse the wine I pour for you, but you accept the wine my brother pours for you. You don't need to be so obvious about it."

Wei Kezhi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Su Mo.

"I'm scared of what happened last time. I don't want it to happen again during the Chinese New Year."

Su Mo stiffened upon hearing this. She hadn't expected Wei Kezhi to have such a good memory, still remembering the time she had drugged his drink. That was all old news, so why couldn't he get over it? Besides, even if she had drugged him, Su Banxia had intervened that day, so she hadn't succeeded.

Thinking this, Su Mo couldn't help but look at Su Banxia with hatred in her eyes. If it weren't for Su Banxia's interference that day, she would have already married Wei Kezhi. She would have been the one to go to the capital with Wei Kezhi to meet his elders, and she would have been the one to marry a high-ranking official and become his wife. Instead, she would have to marry that playboy Su Feng after the New Year.

Undeterred, Su Mo went to offer Wei Kezhi dumplings again.

"Brother Wei, you should try these dumplings, they're really delicious."

"I know, you can eat it yourself if it's delicious."

"Brother Wei, you should try this garlic sauce. It's really delicious when you dip dumplings in it."

"It's none of your business how to eat."

Su Mo was speechless after Wei Kezhi's words, her hand holding the garlic sauce frozen in mid-air.

Wang Guihua also noticed Su Mo's unusual behavior, so she quickly smiled and said:

"Su Mo, how did you know that Mom wanted to dip her in garlic sauce? Here, give it to Mom."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua took the garlic sauce from Su Mo's hand. Su Mo smiled awkwardly.

"Mom, eat as much as you like."

Wang Guihua smiled and nodded.

“My Su Mo is very filial.”

Su Mo turned her head and glanced at Wei Kezhi's cold profile, involuntarily swallowing hard. Then, looking at Su Banxia, ​​who was engrossed in eating on Wei Kezhi's other side, she clenched her fists.

Su Mo only hated that Su Banxia was so ungrateful. She was Su Banxia's own sister. So many people liked her, what was wrong with sharing one with her? She was simply ungrateful. If she recovered, would she forget her older sister?
