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

After the meal, everyone at the table was very satisfied. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Sun Da directly agreed to give Su Yunhe a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver in front of Granny Liu and Aunt Cai.

Qin, who was standing to the side, was extremely envious. No other girl in the entire Su family village could receive such a large dowry when she got married. Now, Su Yunhe, the old maid, had actually struck it lucky and Sun Dayi asked for ten taels of silver right off the bat.

So Qin Shi began to consider in her heart the matchmaking that Aunt Cai had arranged for her daughter. The dowry could not be less than ten taels of silver, otherwise, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of Su Yunhe for the rest of her life.

After seeing Aunt Cai and Sun Da off, Granny Liu was very happy and, for the first time ever, let Su Mo eat the leftovers from the day's meal.

Su Mo had been hungry for several meals, and after doing so much work yesterday and today, she naturally ate all the food. When Old Man Su returned home and found the house cold and empty, with no one to cook for him, he was furious.

He ran straight into the yard and started jumping up and down, cursing.

"Go to hell! I worked all day and when I got home there was no one to cook for me. They didn't even leave me a single thing to eat in the pot. Are you trying to kill me?!"

Granny Liu was inside the house calculating how to spend her daughter's ten taels of betrothal money when she heard Old Man Su calling incessantly from the courtyard. She quickly put on her shoes and went out.

"What are you yelling about? If there's no food, ask Su Mo to cook for you. I think you're just making veiled accusations in the yard. We've been keeping you out of the village these past few days, and now you're acting crazy?"

Seeing that Granny Liu was even more imposing than him, Old Man Su immediately backed down, pursed his lips, and lowered his voice:

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I understand!"

As he spoke, Old Man Su went to knock on the door of the second room.

"Su Mo, what are you doing in the house? Your grandma wants you to come out and cook for me!"

Su Banxia glanced at Su Mo, who looked nervous, then turned away from her.

Su Mo had just finished eating all the remaining food and forgot that Old Man Su would be coming back for dinner, so she hadn't left any for him. Now, hearing him howling in the yard, she thought he was going to get a beating again.

Unexpectedly, Granny Liu was in a good mood today and only asked me to cook another meal for Old Man Su, so I hurriedly put on my shoes and went out.

"Sir, don't worry, I'll be done in a minute."

Old Man Su was exhausted and just waved his hand impatiently, signaling her to hurry up and do it.

Su Mo entered the kitchen and started working. At this moment, Su Mo felt happy. Now she could cook for the Su family and get a meal here. Moreover, as long as she endured for a while longer, she could leave the Su family for good.

Because Su Mo was very satisfied with her performance in front of Aunt Cai today, and Su Mo could also tell that Aunt Cai liked her very much.

In this way, she could hope that Aunt Cai would help her find a husband, so that she could leave Sujia Village and Sufeng sooner.

Because of the deep trauma Su Feng left her in her previous life, she hoped to marry as far away as possible in the future, so that she would never have to see that devil Su Feng again.

After these few encounters with Su Feng, Su Mo could clearly sense his emotional changes and his controlling nature. In her previous life, she was too naive to mistakenly believe it was love; now it seemed like nothing but a pile of dog shit.

While lost in her own thoughts, Su Mo cooked a pot of corn porridge for Old Man Su.

As Old Man Su ate his porridge, he kept thinking about Widow Li. He hadn't visited her house for several days, and he wondered if she still had water to drink, or if she missed him.

Old Man Su first thought of Widow Li's smiling face, and then of her soft body. The more he thought about it, the hotter he felt, and he lost his appetite for the corn porridge in front of him.

He threw down his chopsticks and went inside. Seeing Granny Liu still mending clothes, he snatched the garment from her hands, blew out the candles, and, by the moonlight, stared intently at Granny Liu, saying:

"It's already dark, why are you still keeping the candles burning? Don't you know it wastes wax? Go to sleep!"

Without saying another word, he began to take off Granny Liu's clothes.

Seeing this, Granny Liu quickly shouted:

"Are you crazy? What are you doing? How old are you? Just go to sleep!"

As she spoke, she shook off Old Man Su's arm, quickly pulled her clothes back up, afraid that Old Man Su might do something inappropriate again, and went to sleep in bed with only her outer clothes on.

A huge weight was lifted from Granny Liu's heart, and she was naturally happy. She lay down and quickly fell asleep.

Listening to Granny Liu's thunderous snoring, Old Man Su sighed silently. Unable to fall asleep, he simply got dressed, went out into the yard, and looked at the dark sky. The image of Widow Li was still lingering in his mind.

Old Su glanced back at his house, then gritted his teeth and tiptoed outside. He needed to see Widow Li to put his mind at ease; even if he did nothing, just seeing her would be enough.

As soon as Old Man Su left the hospital, he jogged all the way to the village entrance. Seeing that no one was around, he began to quietly knock on Widow Li's door.

Widow Li was, after all, a woman. No matter how strong she appeared, the sudden knocking on her door in the dead of night startled her. She quickly threw on a coat and got out of bed.

He then rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, walked to the door, and, mustering his courage, asked:

"Who is it, knocking on the widow's door in the middle of the night!"

When Old Man Su heard Widow Li's voice, he was immediately excited, and all the gloom from a day's work vanished.

"It's me, Sister Li, open the door!"

Upon hearing Old Man Su's voice, Widow Li's eyes immediately reddened, and she quickly unlocked the door.

As soon as Old Man Su pushed open the door, he saw Widow Li standing there holding a kitchen knife. Startled, he went limp and quickly reached out to hug her, anxiously explaining:

"Sister Li, it's me, your Brother Su! Please don't use the knife, I'm scared."

As he spoke, Old Man Su hugged Widow Li even tighter.

At this moment, Widow Li had no intention of using the knife. She just let Old Man Su hold her with red eyes. She couldn't remember the last time she had been held like this by a man.

At this moment, she felt both wronged and relieved. She threw down the kitchen knife in her hand, hugged Old Man Su tightly, and sobbed in his arms, complaining:

"Brother Su, do you hate your sister Li anymore? It's been so long since you came to see me, boohoo..."
