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

Before long, everyone had finished all the dumplings they had made that morning, and their bellies were round and full.

Su Qingsong said while burping:

"The dumplings are so delicious! I'm so full. What are we having for dinner?"

Lin glared at Su Qingsong.

"You haven't even had your midday stool yet, and you're already thinking about tonight's."

Upon hearing Lin's words, everyone felt nauseous and got up to clear the table.

Just as I was busy, I heard Cuihua run out of the guest room.

"She's awake! Grandma's awake! Banxia, ​​go check on her quickly!"

For some reason, Su Banxia felt awkward whenever she heard Cuihua call Granny Liu so affectionately.

"I'll go in and take a look. Mother, you can tidy up the table."

Wang Guihua nodded.

"Yes, you should go check on your grandma."

Su Banxia followed Cuihua directly into the house.

"Grandma, how are you feeling right now?"

As soon as Granny Liu opened her eyes and saw Su Banxia enter, she grabbed Su Banxia's hand and said indistinctly:

"Half...half summer, eat...eat...food..."

Su Banxia stepped forward to take Liu Pozi's pulse and saw that her illness seemed to have worsened, and she was now having some difficulty speaking.

So he sighed.

"I understand, I've saved some dumplings for you. I'll have Cuihua come and feed you soon."

Granny Liu nodded repeatedly. She was starving and just wanted to eat something to fill her stomach.

Seeing this, Cuihua didn't delay and immediately turned to get the dumplings.

Su Banxia smiled when she saw Cuihua's attentiveness.

"Cuihua, I'll leave the work to you now, Grandma. I'll go out and start preparing dinner."

Cuihua nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Sister Banxia, ​​leave Grandma to me. I'll take good care of her."

Seeing that Cuihua agreed so readily, Su Banxia went straight upstairs. She had been busy all morning and needed to rest for a while. The steamed buns and mantou for dinner were already prepared in advance, and the rice was already cooking in the pot. She just needed to take a nap and then cook some dishes for dinner.

This whole family gathered together for the New Year, and it was absolutely chaotic. They didn't have a moment's rest all morning, taking turns arguing. Su Banxia was getting a headache listening to them. She couldn't even imagine how much these people would argue when they lived in the old Su family's courtyard. They would quarrel over the smallest things. If she had to live with them every day, she would lose several years of her life.

After Wang Guihua finished cleaning up the dishes, she pulled Su Mo aside to have a heart-to-heart talk in her room.

“Daughter, I noticed that your attitude towards Wei Kezhi is a little different.”

Su Mo became anxious upon hearing Wang Guihua's words.

"What's wrong? I was just greeting the guests normally. Are you upset because I'm sitting so close to Wei Kezhi? Are you afraid I'll steal Su Banxia away? So you only have Su Banxia in your heart. Am I someone you picked up? Am I not your biological daughter?"

Wang Guihua reached out and gently patted Su Mo's hand.

“Daughter, what nonsense are you talking about? You and your sister are both my own daughters, and I love you both the most. Of course, I will treat you both fairly and justly. I have never favored either of you. I was angry with you before because you did something wrong and wouldn't admit it, so I made you move out of the Dwarf Mountain courtyard in a fit of anger. Now I know I was wrong. If it weren't for you, would I have invited that whole Su family from the courtyard to come to our house for a free meal during the New Year?”

Su Mo snorted coldly.

"Hmph, you're not being biased? How biased are you? You didn't learn anything from my grandma, but you've already learned to be biased. Everyone knows you dote on your eldest daughter and listen to her in everything, while you've left your youngest daughter out there for so long without caring about her. When have you ever cared about me? If you really cared about me, could you bear to see me marry a playboy like Su Feng?"

Wang Guihua sighed.

"You silly girl, why are you bringing up your marriage with Su Feng again? Didn't I personally take you to his house to break off the engagement? You refused to break it off and changed your mind at the last minute, leaving me standing there. What could I do?"

Su Mo's expression stiffened as she recalled the day the engagement was called off. She knew she had been in the wrong; in a fit of anger, she had fallen into Su Feng's trap and agreed to marry him.

But now that she knows Wei Kezhi is the high-ranking official from the city, she is definitely unwilling. Why can Su Banxia marry into the city and become a high-ranking official, while she has to stay in this poor and remote mountain village and be bullied by Su Feng for the rest of her life?

Thinking this, Su Mo angrily said:

"Mother, I told you you're biased, but you won't admit it. Do you know that Wei Kezhi's family background is extraordinary? I just sat a little closer to him and served him a few dishes, and you're already afraid I'll steal my sister's good marriage. You say that because I treat Wei Kezhi differently, I treat him differently too. So what? If I could win Wei Kezhi's favor, he would definitely take me away from Su Family Village, and I wouldn't have to marry that playboy Su Feng. Do you know how miserable my life would be if I really married Su Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua looked at Su Mo with disbelief.

"You mean, you want to steal Wei Kezhi from your sister? Su Mo, you absolutely mustn't make a mistake!"

Su Mo glanced coldly at Wang Guihua.

"What? You cherish Banxia so much, but now I can't even think about the men around her?"

Wang Guihua shook her head and took Su Mo's hand.

“My dear daughter, don’t be angry. Listen to me. I only know that Wei Kezhi is from the city, but I don’t know anything about his family background. Besides, marriage is about mutual affection, or it’s arranged by parents and matchmakers. But you and Wei Kezhi…”

Before Wang Guihua could finish speaking, Su Mo pulled her hand away and said coldly:

"If you truly care about me and treat me like your own daughter, you should plan things out for me and Wei Kezhi so that Wei Kezhi can marry me. That way, I won't have to suffer in Sujia Village. Don't you ever think about what kind of good person can live a good life after marrying a madman like Su Feng?"

Wang Guihua said with a troubled expression:

"Silly girl, do you think this is something that your mother can arrange for you? Didn't I say that for two people to be together, they must first be mutually in love? Now that you are in love with Wei Kezhi, I can see that to some extent. But how did Wei Kezhi treat you at the dinner table today? Don't you know in your heart how she treated you?"
