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

When Su Mo came out of the house, she saw Su Feng run out without looking back. The thought of how afraid Su Feng was of Wei Kezhi filled her with contempt for him.

Seeing that no one was around, Su Mo walked directly to Wei Kezhi's door, opened it, and stood outside, whispering:

"Brother Wei, thank you for helping me get rid of Su Feng. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do. You don't know how he always took the opportunity to bully me while you were gone. I really didn't know what to do. Now that you're back, I feel much more at ease."

When Wei Kezhi saw Su Mo standing at her door, she couldn't help but frown.

“I didn’t kick you out; I just couldn’t stand him.”

Seeing that Wei Kezhi was speaking to her, Su Mo mustered her courage, walked to Wei Kezhi's table, and said with a smile:

"Brother Wei, I still want to thank you no matter what. I really don't know what I would have done without you. As a token of my gratitude, let me help you grind the ink."

Wei Kezhi spoke somewhat impatiently:

"No need."

Su Mo ignored what Wei Kezhi said and silently picked up the ink stick from the table to grind the ink for him.

“Brother Wei, I have a lot of work to do every day, so don’t worry about this little thing. Let me do it for you, and you can save some effort. Brother Wei, your handwriting is really beautiful. Can you teach me how to write? I don’t know a single character.”

Wei Kezhi was getting a headache from Su Mo's pestering, so he simply grabbed a book from the table and handed it to her.

"If you really want to learn to read, then take this primer and read it yourself. Don't bother me. I don't need you to grind the ink for me. Go out."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo clenched the ink stick in her hand, suppressing her grievances, and then gave an awkward smile.

"Alright then, Brother Wei, thank you for teaching me to read. By the way, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you!"

Wei Kezhi waved his hand.

"casual."

Su Mo was taken aback by Wei Kezhi's words again, then smiled and said:

"Well, I'll head out now, Brother Wei. I've moved back home now, so just call me if you need anything."

Wei Kezhi lowered his head and ignored Su Mo. Seeing this, Su Mo pursed her lips and turned to leave.

Just then, Su Mo saw Su Banxia coming down the stairs, and she immediately straightened her back.

"Hehe, you didn't just get up at this hour, did you?"

Su Banxia frowned.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I stay here? This is my home. I already told you, Mother has agreed to let me move back. I'm not going anywhere now. I lived here before I got married, so what?"

Seeing Su Mo's attitude, Su Banxia didn't bother to pay her any attention.

"It's nothing. You can live wherever you want. It's none of my business. Just don't cause trouble."

Su Mo looked Su Banxia up and down.

"How did I cause trouble? You're not jealous because you saw me come out of Wei Kezhi's room, are you? I'm about to get married, are you worried that I'll do something bad to Brother Wei? I just wanted Brother Wei to teach me a few words, so that I can read and write even after I get married. You're not jealous of that, are you?"

Su Banxia clenched her fists involuntarily.

"Did I say anything? Stop speculating. I don't need to be jealous of you! You should know your own limitations!"

Seeing that Su Banxia seemed somewhat angry, Su Mo smiled and said:

"I don't think you're that stingy. Anyway, Brother Wei said he'd teach me calligraphy every day until I get married. Brother Wei is so good to me. Look, this book was given to me by Brother Wei himself!"

After saying that, Su Mo turned around and went to her room.

Watching Su Mo's departing figure, Su Banxia clenched her fists. She then turned to look at Wei Kezhi's tightly closed door. She couldn't understand why Wei Kezhi, knowing that Su Mo had designs on him, always gave Su Mo opportunities to get close to him. Did men also enjoy playing this game of cat and mouse?

Su Banxia felt increasingly suffocated as she thought about it. She cursed Wei Kezhi in her heart as a fool, an idiot, and a shameless bastard. Then she strode into the courtyard.

This noon, Su Banxia planned to cook a nice meal to reward Wei Kezhi, so that no one in the Su family would remember his hard work in teaching Su Mo to read and write.

Thinking this, Su Banxia took out a lot of chili peppers and made a spicy hot pot, a spicy boiled fish, a mustard shredded dish, and boiled sliced ​​meat.

All of these dishes were extremely spicy. Su Banxia thought that Lianhua was pregnant and probably couldn't handle such spiciness, so she made a light fried rice for him and sent it to Lianhua's room.

After Su Banxia had served all the dishes, she invited everyone to come out and eat.

As soon as Wang Guihua stepped outside, she saw a table full of bright red dishes and immediately frowned.

"Banxia, ​​it's just our family eating today, Erzhuzi and the others aren't coming over, so why make so many dishes? And it seems like they're all spicy..."

Su Banxia smiled.

"It's alright, Mom. I've prepared plenty of dry food and rice. If you find it too spicy, just eat more rice. I was just thinking of trying something different today!"

As she spoke, Su Banxia saw Wei Kezhi come out of the room and added sarcastically,

"Mother, you don't know yet, do you? Wei Kezhi is now personally teaching Su Mo to read and write. She's worked hard all morning, so naturally we should make her something delicious to reward her, right?"

Wei Kezhi was confused upon hearing Su Banxia's words, and looked at Su Banxia while muttering:

"When did I ever teach her to read and write?"

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"What do you mean no? Don't be modest. Su Mo told me everything. Didn't you even give her a book? You're very considerate to Su Mo."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi's face immediately turned cold. This Su Mo really knew how to cause trouble for her. She and Su Banxia had just repaired their relationship, and now Su Mo was interfering again, saying ambiguous things that made Su Banxia misunderstand her. She was truly annoying.

Wei Kezhi walked to the tablecloth and sat down. Seeing the table full of spicy dishes, his face immediately stiffened. He knew Su Banxia was angry with him. Knowing he couldn't handle too much spice, she still made so many smoking spicy dishes; it seemed she was intentionally punishing him.

Wei Kezhi looked up at Su Banxia, ​​and seeing her cold expression, he spoke:

“I never said I would teach her to read and write. She said she wanted to learn to read, so I just threw her a book and let her learn on her own.”

Just then, Su Mo came out of the house. Hearing Wei Kezhi say this, she quickly stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Sister, you're not going to be angry with Brother Wei over such a small thing, are you? It's a good thing that Brother Wei helped me learn to read and write. Why are you so petty and insist on arguing with him about this? Can't you stand to see me doing well?"

As she spoke, Su Mo turned to Wang Guihua and said with a smile:

"Mother, you have no idea how impressive Brother Wei was today. Su Feng brought the things to my room and tried to stay. I told him to leave, but he wouldn't budge. But Brother Wei scared him so badly with just a few words that he ran away without looking back. Sigh, I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry Brother Wei in the future. If she could really marry Brother Wei, she would never have to be bullied again."

Wang Guihua frowned upon hearing Su Mo's words and asked with some concern:

"Su Mo, I didn't want to see Su Feng this morning, so I went about my business after he came in. I didn't expect Su Feng to want to stay at our house. Did he do anything improper to you?"
