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

Su Songchuan sat down with a smile, took Granny Liu's hand, and said:

"Mother, how could I suffer any grievances at your home? They take very good care of me, and I don't have to worry about my food, clothing, or daily necessities. Shuer also dotes on me and always arranges the best for me. Don't worry, Mother, I'm doing very well here."

Upon hearing Su Songchuan's words, Granny Liu's eyes reddened as she said:

"Okay, as long as you're doing well, I'll be at peace."

Seeing that Granny Liu's eyes were red, Su Songchuan immediately comforted her:

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is someone in the family bullying you?"

Hearing Su Songchuan speak, Lin couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Hey, fourth brother, what are you saying? Who in our family would dare to make your mother angry? Doesn't your mother still have to run the Su family? If anyone's going to be angry, it's because they've come to your mother-in-law's house!"

Upon hearing Lin's words, Su Songchuan frowned, turned to Liu Pozi, and, taking her hand, asked with concern:

"Mother, what exactly happened? Tell me, I can't let you suffer because of me."

"You silly child, what could be wrong with your mother? I just haven't seen you for a few days and missed you. I couldn't help but cry when I saw you. Please don't go looking for trouble with your mother-in-law's family. Don't cause any unhappiness for you two. I'm really fine. Just listen to your mother and don't listen to your third sister-in-law's attempts to sow discord. Just live your lives well."

As she spoke, Granny Liu reached up to wipe away her tears.

Seeing Liu Pozi's appearance, Su Songchuan naturally knew that she had probably suffered some injustice. However, he was now a nobody in the Li family, having to live at their beck and call. He probably didn't have the ability to avenge Liu Pozi, so Su Songchuan suppressed his anger and said:

"Mom, I'm sorry you've suffered because of me. Don't worry, I will treat you well from now on, just like I did as a son-in-law who married into another family. I will take good care of you."

Hearing this, Lin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but pout.

“Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Before you got married, you didn’t seem to care much for your parents. Now that you’re married, you suddenly change your ways? Besides, you’re a son-in-law now, so you can’t manage much of the family affairs. In the end, we’ll be the ones taking care of your parents.”

Seeing Lin's words, Su Congxian, fearing another argument might break out at the Li family's house, quickly tugged at Lin's arm.

"Shut up! My mother and fourth brother are talking. What are you meddling in for? Let's go watch the show!"

As he spoke, Su Congxian gave Su Qingsong a wink, and the two of them, one on each side, lifted Lin Shi up and walked to the side.

After the three had walked away, Granny Liu sighed, holding Su Songchuan's hand.

"You see? Now that I'm getting old, these daughters-in-law don't respect me anymore. Look at how fierce she was talking just now, like she wanted to devour me alive. You have to make your mother proud. Live a good life and become a high-ranking official in the future, so that your mother can hold her head high and show those blind little bitches that your mother didn't give birth to a coward."

Upon hearing Liu Pozi's words, Su Songchuan's eyes reddened, and he tightly grasped Liu Pozi's hand, nodding in agreement.

"Don't worry, Mother. I'm living in the Li family now. I have a special study with lots of books to read. My father-in-law has also found a tutor to give me lessons. I will definitely do my best in this imperial examination."

When Granny Liu heard Su Songchuan say this, she was even happier.

"Okay, okay! As long as you're doing well, I'll be at ease. Don't worry about me, just focus on your future."

Su Songchuan nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I understand, Mother."

As the two were talking, Li Shuer walked over with Li Xiner.

"Mother-in-law, take a look at this play list. Is there anything you'd like to hear? I'll have the troupe arrange it."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu immediately waved her hand, flattered and surprised.

"Oh dear, I'm an old woman, I can listen to anything and I can't tell good from bad, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine with anything."

Seeing Liu Pozi's appearance, Li Xin'er couldn't help but sneer.

"Auntie, does my sister also want to make you happy?"

As she spoke, Li Xin'er turned to look at Li Shu'er.

"Sister, if you ask me, you should give the bracelet on your wrist to your mother-in-law. She would be happier. Besides, the color looks a bit old-fashioned on you, but it would be perfect for your aunt."

When Li Shu'er heard her younger sister say this, her face stiffened. She looked down at the bracelet on her hand, then gritted her teeth, took it off, and directly took Granny Liu's hand, putting it on for her.

“My sister is right, this bracelet does look much better on your hand, Mother-in-law.”

Granny Liu was surprised that Li Shu'er had actually given her a bracelet, and it looked quite valuable, so she immediately said happily:

"Oh dear, I haven't even given you a decent gift yet, and you've already given me a bracelet! How can I possibly accept this?"

Li Shuer smiled.

“I don’t lack these pieces of jewelry, but this bracelet is really not suitable for me to wear. It would be more suitable for you, Mother-in-law. In this way, I have found a good owner for this bracelet. Mother-in-law, you must accept it. If you don’t accept it, I will feel very bad.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu smiled somewhat awkwardly, glanced around at the people, and then gritted her teeth and nodded, saying:

"Since it's from you who's showing me respect, I can't very well refuse. Thank you so much, Shu'er. My Songchuan just told me that your family treats him very well, and I feel very at ease with him staying at the Li residence. You two must live a good life together from now on. If Songchuan does anything wrong, just tell him off. Don't let him get too cocky."

Li Shuer covered her mouth and chuckled upon hearing this, glanced at Su Songchuan standing to the side, and said softly:

“Mother-in-law, I understand. Don’t worry, Songchuan treats me very well. There are no conflicts between us. We discuss everything together. You don’t need to worry about things between us.”

Li Xin'er seemed to be getting restless, and immediately pulled Li Shu'er's hand, saying with a smile:

"Alright, sister, stop saying all these nice things over and over. Go and greet the other relatives. It's not right for you to just sit here and not move."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu, fearing she might be impolite, immediately nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, your sister is right. You should take Songchuan to greet the others quickly, so that they won't have any more objections. You don't need to worry about me here; I can take care of myself."
