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

Upon hearing Su Feng's words, Granny Liu began coughing violently again.

"Ahem, what are you doing here again? This is our family matter, what right do you have to speak? Judging from your words, you're implying that if I disagree, you'd want to hit me. What kind of old woman is this?"

Su Feng sneered.

"Grandma, what are you saying? I'm about to marry Su Mo, aren't I? In the end, I'll still be your grandson-in-law, right? How could I possibly hit you? That would be a grave offense! Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to cause trouble! As long as this money isn't sent to Su Mo, I'll stay here and not leave!"

Granny Liu's face flushed with excitement as she looked at Su Mo standing to the side.

"Fine! Su Mo, is this how you treat me? If you still consider me your grandmother, then hurry up and get this Su Feng out of here. Don't let him cause trouble in our yard. What's wrong with him? You're not even married into the family yet, and he's already thinking of backing you up?"

Su Mo also had a helpless expression.

"Grandma, if you really care about me, hurry up and return this money to me. Then I won't have to make Su Feng stand here with me. He was supposed to visit his maternal grandmother today, but he didn't go. He came here specifically to see you."

Granny Liu coughed a few times in anger at Su Mo's words.

"Cough cough cough, I don't need him to come see me!"

Su Feng, standing to the side, said in a nonchalant tone:

"Oh, Grandma, that's not how it works. Although I'm a scoundrel, I know about propriety and honor. As a junior, it's only right that I come to wish you a Happy New Year, isn't it? Besides, I've heard everyone in the village say that my fourth uncle is about to marry into the Li family and become a live-in son-in-law. You've already become in-laws with such capable people, how could you possibly be short of a mere tael of silver like Su Mo's? Wouldn't that make you a laughingstock?"

Just then, Su Ye, who had gone out to visit neighbors, returned. Hearing that Su Feng was questioning Granny Liu in her room, she stormed in angrily.

"Su Feng, what are you doing? Why are you coming to our house to bring bad luck during the New Year?"

"Oh dear, Happy New Year, Uncle! I came here especially to wish my grandma a Happy New Year, how did it become bad luck! How could you speak so rudely? We're all family now, you can't talk like that anymore. If you weren't my uncle, I would have slapped you already!"

Su Ye was so angry upon hearing this that her veins throbbed.

"You've really grown some guts, huh? Who do you think you are? How dare you even show your face in this courtyard? You hacked that nephew from the third branch of the family to pieces before, and he didn't even come looking for you. Now you're here to cause trouble? What are you doing here today? If you have nothing to say, get out of here!"

Su Feng suddenly spat on the ground.

"If you hadn't mentioned him, I wouldn't be angry anymore. But the moment you bring him up, my anger surges. If he's still here, I'll chop him up! Who does he think he is! He dares to touch my woman! Doesn't he even know my name?"

Su Ye waved her hand impatiently.

"What are you talking about, your name? You're just a petty thug, a scoundrel, a big scoundrel! Don't try to pull this on me. You can act tough in front of other people, but what are you trying to prove to me? I've watched you grow up, I know exactly what kind of person you are! Get out of here! If you really upset your grandma, you'll see if I let you off the hook!"

As she spoke, Su Ye reached out to push Su Feng, trying to push him away.

Seeing this, Su Feng immediately put on a grin and reached out to block.

“Uncle, we’re about to become family, and I still know how to distinguish between inside and outside. Don’t worry, I won’t hold a grudge against you or my grandmother. I’m here today to get an explanation for Su Mo’s dowry of one tael of silver. It should be given to her. I certainly won’t make things so ugly, otherwise I would never leave. You know I may not have many other skills, but I’m thick-skinned.”

As he spoke, Su Feng immediately stuck his head out and grinned at Granny Liu, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).

“You agree, Grandma, right? These are all nieces getting married, so they should all be treated equally. When Su Tao got married, everyone in the village knew that you personally gave her a dowry of one tael of silver. The villagers said you were generous and cared for your nieces. You can’t do the same for Su Mo, or what will the villagers say about you!”

Su Feng then turned to look at Su Ye, who was trying to push him out, and gave a crooked smile.

"And you, Uncle, you can't stop my grandma from giving Su Mo a dowry just because your daughter got a good deal. It's really inappropriate for you, as the uncle, to be interfering in this matter!"

Upon hearing Su Feng's words, Granny Liu, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), became so angry that her stomach ached.

"You brat, when did it become your place to interfere in our family affairs? Su Mo hasn't even married you yet, and you're already making decisions for her. We're all family, how could we possibly harm Su Mo? Besides, our Su family separated from the second branch of the Su family a long time ago. Now that Su Mo is getting married, it's not my place as a grandmother who has separated from the family to give her dowry money, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Feng naturally wouldn't tolerate Granny Liu's words and directly retorted:

"If you didn't want to pay the dowry money in the first place, you shouldn't have accepted the betrothal money. Now that you've pocketed the betrothal money, you don't want to pay the dowry money anymore. There's no logic to that! I may not have much else, but I love to stand up for justice! Now that Su Mo has been wronged, I absolutely cannot agree to this!"

Su Mo stood to the side, head down, sobbing and weeping, which annoyed Granny Liu greatly.

"You brat, stop your wailing and crying here! I'm not dead yet, and you're already making a scene? Is it really worth it for a mere tael of silver? Are you going to turn against your own mother for such a small amount? If you still consider me your mother, then hurry up and get this Su Feng out of here. Don't let him come to our yard and cause trouble again. I'm already so frail; I can't take any more of this. Are you just hoping I'll die sooner?"

Su Mo's expression froze upon hearing this. If Granny Liu really died, would she be able to observe three years of mourning and not have to get married? Thinking this, a ruthless glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes. No matter what, she had to get the dowry money out of her first. She absolutely could not let the Su family benefit from her hard-earned money.

Thinking this, Su Mo looked up at Granny Liu and said with red eyes:

"Grandma, what are you saying? How could I, as your granddaughter, wish for your death? You know how hard it is for your granddaughter. I think you should give me the dowry money as soon as possible, so that this matter can be settled and you can take good care of your health."
