Wei Kezhi, who was lying inside, jumped out of bed excitedly upon hearing that Su Banxia had returned. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Su Banxia sitting in the courtyard talking to Lianhua.

"Banxia, ​​you're finally back."

Lianhua turned to look at Wei Kezhi's face, which couldn't hide her excitement, and then stood up with a smile.

"Alright, I'm getting a little tired from sitting in the yard. I'll go back inside and rest first. You guys chat."

After saying that, Lianhua pulled Su Mo, who was still standing there, into the house.

“Little sister, I didn’t get to attend Uncle’s wedding banquet. Come on, come inside and tell me what interesting things happened.”

Su Mo was forcibly dragged away by Lianhua, and she couldn't say much, so she could only nod with an awkward smile.

Wei Kezhi walked directly to the table and took Su Banxia's hand.

"Banxia, ​​you haven't had a good day. I haven't seen you all day, and I feel uneasy. I've been thinking about it, and now that the New Year is over and our marriage is settled, why don't we prepare to set off for the capital sooner? After all, the journey will take some time. I also want you to meet my elders as soon as possible, so we can get married sooner. What do you think?"

Su Banxia nodded after hearing Wei Kezhi's words and said:

“I understand what you’re thinking, but I need to discuss this with my parents first. I’m afraid they won’t let me leave easily. After all, Su Mo is about to clear things up. As her older sister, I can’t be short of a few more days. I have to attend her wedding before I can leave. Although I don’t have any feelings for Su Mo, my parents will be staying in the village for a while. I can’t let the villagers gossip about her and talk badly about our family behind her back.”

Seeing Su Banxia's words, Wei Kezhi naturally understood her predicament, and so he sighed.

“Alright, then we won’t be short of a few days. Let’s set off after your sister’s wedding. I’ll go to town to pick out a carriage these next few days. We’ll need it for the journey. I don’t want you to travel too much. I’ll take you on the road after I’ve prepared everything we need.”

Seeing that she had convinced Wei Kezhi, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of things these next few days. If you need any help, just let me know. I've been busy at the Li family's house all day, and I'm really exhausted. All I want to do right now is lie down and sleep. You should go to sleep early too, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Wei Kezhi looked at Su Banxia with heartache.

"Then go upstairs and go to sleep, don't worry about me."

Su Banxia nodded and got up to leave.

Since it was the first month of the lunar calendar, and the family finally had some free time, Su Banxia didn't bother with setting up a stall. After all, she and Wei Kezhi had been busy preparing for their trip to the capital and hadn't had the time or inclination to think about setting up a stall.

Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang were busy preparing for Su Mo's wedding. The wedding was held together at Su Feng's house. However, the night before the wedding, the bride's family would invite their close relatives and helpers to dinner at their own home.

After a flurry of activity, the night before Su Mo's wedding finally arrived. Wang Guihua invited the villagers to her home for dinner, and Su Banxia helped out quite a bit with the preparations.

Su Mo looked unhappy and didn't want to care about anything. She stayed in her room all day and wouldn't go out. Wang Guihua was worried that Su Mo was sad, so she specially bought her a set of beautiful jewelry and headdress. She also used her own savings to choose a beautiful wedding dress for her, hoping that this would make Su Mo happier. However, Su Mo still refused to talk to anyone, so Wang Guihua had no choice but to let her be.

In the evening, when Su Banxia had served all the dishes and was inviting everyone to eat, Su Mo surprisingly came out of the house.

When everyone saw the bride-to-be come out, they immediately teased her:

"Su Mo, you're getting married tomorrow, aren't you happy?"

"Su Mo is so lucky to have married into her own village. She can still visit her parents often in the future, and even if she suffers grievances at her husband's family, she can move back to her parents' home at any time."

"That's right. Su Mo will have her family backing her up in the future, so she definitely won't suffer any grievances."

Hearing what everyone said, Su Mo trembled as she thought of how Su Feng used to beat and scold her in her past life. In fact, Su Mo had been studying self-defense weapons in her room for the past few days. If Su Feng attacked her again in this life, she would definitely seize the opportunity to kill him. Even if she had to be arrested and imprisoned, it would be better than staying in Su Feng's hands and being tortured to death by him.

The only difference between Su Mo's life this time and her previous life is that she did not fall out with her family before getting married. Moreover, her family is doing quite well in the village now. With her family backing her up, Su Feng probably won't dare to make a move against her as easily as he did in her previous life. In this way, she will have time to plan how to get rid of Su Feng and his mother, those two villains, without anyone noticing.

Thinking this, Su Mo gave a stiff smile.

"Yes, now that I live close to my parents' home, I can help them out if they need anything in the future. Naturally, I can visit them more often. Don't you agree, Mother?"

Wang Guihua hadn't expected Su Mo to say such considerate words, and her eyes immediately reddened. She felt that her efforts these past few days hadn't been in vain, and that her affection for this young girl hadn't been wasted. It seemed that Su Mo did understand these social niceties. So Wang Guihua smiled and nodded, saying:

"That's right. After your sister goes to the capital, you'll be the only girl I'll be close to. We live in the same village, so you should come visit your parents' home more often when you have time."

Su Mo smiled, stepped forward, took Wang Guihua's hand, and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely come over for a free meal whenever I have the chance."

Seeing this, everyone quickly laughed and said:

"Oh dear, Guihua, both of your daughters are quite accomplished. One is nearby and the other is far away. In this way, you have the best of both worlds."

"That's right, in the end, it's Guihua who gets to enjoy the good life!"

"Sigh, we're not destined for that. We can only look and admire."

Wang Guihua felt incredibly comforted at that moment, and quickly greeted everyone with a smile.

"Everyone, stop talking and eat your food! It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Everyone had been drooling over the delicious food on the table for a while, and when Wang Guihua called out, they naturally didn't stand on ceremony and started to eat heartily.

Su Mo, carrying the wine, went around refilling and toasting everyone. Wang Guihua, seeing this, worried that Su Mo might drink too much and delay the wedding the next day, and was about to stop her when Su Hanzhang pulled her back.

"Guihua, don't worry about this. The child is older now, so let her drink it if she wants. But once she gets married, she probably won't be able to do whatever she wants anymore."
