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

Su Songchuan took a carriage directly to a clothing shop in the city, where Li Shuer was waiting for him.

"Songchuan, you've finally arrived! I've already picked out a few outfits for you. Hurry up and come inside with me to try them on. Right now, we can only buy ready-made clothes; it's probably too late to have them made to order."

Su Songchuan let Li Shuer lead him into the shop. He was very happy. He had never bought clothes from a ready-made clothing store before. Although he had plenty of clothes, most of them were made by Granny Liu herself. Now that he could walk around in a ready-made clothing store, he felt that his status was different.

Su Songchuan stood beside Li Shuer, and those around him looked at him with more respect.

"Miss Li, are you here to choose clothes for this young master?"

"Okay, bring out all the outfits I picked out earlier and let him try them on. If they fit, we'll take them all."

Upon hearing Li Shuer's words, the shopkeeper was immediately delighted and had his assistant accompany Su Songchuan into the inner room to change his clothes.

Su Songchuan changed his clothes every now and then, and Li Shuer thought they were all quite nice. Considering that Su Songchuan didn't usually have any decent clothes, she naturally couldn't let him dress so poorly when he came to the Li residence. These clothes could be kept to save face, so she had the shopkeeper pack them all up.

After buying the clothes, Li Shu'er took Su Songchuan to buy some everyday necessities. Finally, they returned to the Li residence with several cartloads of goods.

"Songchuan, you can stay at our house for the next few days. My parents have already renovated the courtyard where we will live. You can stay there. I will arrange a servant for you to take care of your daily life. He will also accompany you when you study. This way, you can get familiar with the environment, which will make things easier after we get married."

Upon hearing this, Su Songchuan immediately nodded happily.

"Sister Shu'er, whatever you say is fine with me. I'll listen to whatever you say. You can make the arrangements as you see fit."

After the two entered the main room, Madam Li was sitting inside waiting for their return.

"You're back, Shuer. Let your mother see the dress you picked out."

Li Shuer blushed and said with a smile:

"Mother, it won't be that fast. I've already picked out the clothes, but there's still a slight difference in size. I'll have the tailor alter them for me, and they'll send someone to deliver them to your residence in a few days."

Mrs. Li nodded.

"Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event. As long as you like it, do it your way. I won't be picky."

Then Madam Li turned to Su Songchuan standing beside her and said:

"Did Shuer also pick out this outfit for you?"

Su Songchuan bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

"In reply to Madam Li, it was Shu'er who personally picked them out for me. Shu'er also picked out several other sets of everyday clothes for me. My wedding dress is also being altered at the tailor shop. It will be delivered to the mansion together with Shu'er's. I said that I, as a man, do not need to wear so many fine clothes, but Shu'er insisted on buying them for me."

Mrs. Li smiled.

"So be it. It's just a few outfits. Our Li family isn't that stingy. Once you become our son-in-law, we won't skimp on your food, clothing, or other necessities. Besides, I think Shuer picked out a good set of clothes. You'll be the one to uphold the reputation of our Li family in the future, so naturally you'll need to dress well."

Su Songchuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, and bowed to Madam Li again.

"Yes, Madam is right. We will certainly have to spend money on you in the future."

Madam Li waved her hand.

“We’re all family now, so there’s no need for these formalities. If we’re always so polite, we’ll become distant. Alright, it’s getting late, and you’ve all had a long day. I’ll tell the kitchen to serve the food. After we finish eating, let’s all go back to our rooms and rest.”

Su Songchuan was surprised that Madam Li was so understanding and reasonable. He felt a warmth in his heart. She was indeed from a wealthy family and didn't care about the money at all. He felt that she had spent a lot of money on him, but in fact, she didn't think it was anything.

Su Songchuan felt that his future would get better and better, and he would never have to worry about money again.

After dinner, Su Songchuan was led by a servant to stay at the villa. The furniture in the villa was all newly made, and the flowers and plants in the villa were carefully tended. Everywhere exuded a festive atmosphere, as if the Li family had specially decorated it for the couple's marriage.

Su Songchuan was experiencing being waited on for the first time, and he felt extremely proud. He kept ordering the servant to do this and that. Fearing that the people in the Li family would say he was not ambitious, he went to the study and pretended to read. He read until midnight before going to bed, and the servant who was serving him had already dozed off several times.

The next morning, word spread throughout the mansion that the new son-in-law was hardworking. Master Li was very pleased with what the servants said, so he ordered a lot of food to be prepared and sent to Su Songchuan's room early that morning.

Su Songchuan was very happy to see that his father-in-law was finally willing to take him seriously. He decided to continue pretending and figured that if he could take advantage of the Li family's influence, work hard, and find a teacher to guide him, he might actually make a name for himself in the exam.

While Su Songchuan was enjoying himself at the Li residence, little did he know that things were already in complete chaos at the Su family mansion.

"Grandma, just listen to me, hurry up and prepare the dowry money that's owed me. I'm getting married soon, I can't go into the wedding empty-handed!"

Granny Liu clutched her chest and pointed at Su Mo, who was standing on the ground, coughing incessantly as she spoke:

"Cough cough... You brat, you're really going to drive me crazy! It's only the first month of the lunar year, why are you already asking me for money? Besides, aren't you getting married on February 2nd? What's the rush? Are you too impatient to be reincarnated?"

Su Feng, who was sitting with his legs crossed to the side, sneered while chewing on a straw:

"Grandma, you can't say that. The wedding was all arranged in advance. Su Mo asked you for the money early on. She feels more at ease having it in her hands. After all, your whole family is like bloodsuckers, eyeing what little money you have. She just wants peace of mind. As her grandmother, you have to think about her. I advise you to take the money out while she's still talking to you nicely. Otherwise, if things really get out of hand, your old body won't be able to handle it, will it?"
