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

As soon as Su Banxia sat down, she picked up the chopsticks from the table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Wei Kezhi.

"You can't finish all this food by yourself, why don't I help you eat it?"

Wei Kezhi smiled upon seeing this.

"Okay, eat up."

As soon as Wei Kezhi finished speaking, Su Banxia picked up the largest piece of meat from the plate without hesitation and stuffed it into her mouth.

Wei Kezhi had never seen a girl eat so ravenously. How to put it, it gave the impression that the food was delicious, as if she hadn't eaten in ages...

Before long, Su Banxia had stuffed her mouth full, her cheeks bulging out, chewing and chewing like a hamster...

After eating for a while, Su Banxia noticed that Wei Kezhi hadn't touched his chopsticks, so she picked up the smallest piece of meat and placed it in his bowl.

"Eat up, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold. You're a grown man, why are you dawdling over your food!"

Wei Kezhi paused for a moment, then silently picked up the small piece of meat from the bowl and put it in her mouth, savoring it carefully.

Su Banxia was immediately displeased by his pretentious way of eating. They were all peasants, why was he pretending to be a rich young master?

Thinking this, Su Banxia couldn't help but speak:

"Wei Kezhi! Can't you eat properly? If you don't eat, I'm going to throw it all away!"

Wei Kezhi stared blankly at Su Banxia and asked:

"Ah, where should I put it?"

Su Banxia rolled her eyes at him.

"Pour it all into my mouth!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Su Banxia was stunned when she saw Wei Kezhi smile. This was the first time she had ever seen Wei Kezhi smile, and in both her lives, it was the first time she had ever seen someone smile so beautifully.

The last rays of the setting sun shone through the window onto his face, making Su Banxia feel as if she were seeing a rainbow.

Soon, Su Banxia realized what was happening, her face darkened instantly, she grabbed the food on the table, and roared:

"Wei Kezhi, you can laugh all you want, but don't spit on my food! You've sprayed it all over my food!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi quickly covered her mouth, blushed, gripped her chopsticks tightly, and whispered:

"I...I didn't mean to. I won't laugh at you anymore, okay?"

Su Banxia nodded warily, and seeing that he had indeed stopped smiling, she released her grip on the food.

The two finished their meal chatting and laughing.

"Well, I need to get down the mountain before it gets dark, otherwise my parents will worry."

As she spoke, Su Banxia glanced worriedly at the weakened Wei Kezhi.

"If I... if I come to cook for you again tomorrow, will you... will you still give me pork?"

A glimmer of light instantly returned to Wei Kezhi's previously dimmed eyes. He looked steadily at Su Banxia and said:

"Here you go! I'll give it to you as long as you come!"

Su Banxia nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and smiled:

"Okay, then you can rest. I'll come and cook for you again tomorrow!"

After saying that, he left the courtyard and walked down the mountain.

As soon as Su Banxia arrived at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, she saw Su Shiyan packing up his things in the field, preparing to go home as well.

"Little sister, what good things did you find on the mountain today? Why are you coming down so late!"

Just as Su Banxia was about to reply, she suddenly remembered how Wei Kezhi had tripped her on the mountain earlier that day, causing her to fall headfirst onto him. Her face flushed red, and she stammered, "..."

"Nothing much, but we'll have meat tonight anyway!"

Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, Su Shiyan disregarded everything else and hurriedly gathered his belongings, hoisting them onto his shoulder. He then called out to Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua at the edge of the field:

"Father, Mother, my eldest sister is cooking meat for us tonight, let's hurry home!"

Wang Guihua wiped the sweat from her face, exchanged a smiling glance with Su Hanzhang, and then called out to Su Shiyan:

"Okay, let's go home!"

Now that the Su family has been allocated land, the second branch doesn't need to do as much work. They only need to manage the land at the foot of Dwarf Mountain. As a result, the second branch is more motivated to work, and the land at home is quickly planted.

These past few days, Su Hanzhang has been preparing to start digging the foundation. After the house is built, Su Hanzhang also wants to find a few suitable plots of land nearby to cultivate and plant more vegetables and fruits, so that the family won't have to worry about food.

The second family had just entered the courtyard when they heard Su Tao shouting and yelling.

"Are you crazy, Su Mo? Do you even know how to do laundry? Someone as stupid and clumsy as you wouldn't even be wanted as a maid in someone's home!"

"Cousin, I didn't mean to. I didn't know you couldn't wash this dress with hot water."

Upon hearing this, Su Tao suddenly grabbed Su Mo's ear.

"Listen to what you're saying! Even if you haven't eaten pork, you should have seen pigs run, right? This outfit cost my mother a lot of money to buy for me in the city. I'm going on a blind date tomorrow, what am I supposed to wear?!"

As she spoke, Su Tao threw the clothes in her hand to the ground.

"You're really good for nothing but ruining things, Su Mo. You didn't do this on purpose, did you? You want me to embarrass myself on the blind date so you can find a better husband than me!"

As she said this, Su Tao became even angrier, and picked up a broom from the ground and started hitting Su Mo with it.

Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly dropped the basket she was holding and stepped forward to pull Su Tao back.

"Su Tao, what are you doing? Su Mo is your sister, after all!"

Seeing the chaotic scene in the courtyard, Su Banxia had no intention of interfering. She didn't want to get involved in Su Mo being beaten either, since Su Mo had never spoken up for her whenever she was beaten.

Thinking that she had already done more than enough by not standing in the yard to watch her make a fool of herself, Su Banxia turned around and went into the house.

Su Mo saw Su Banxia's cold face from afar and cursed her inwardly for being a scoundrel. Her own sister was being bullied like this, and she didn't even care.

Thinking this, Su Mo clenched her fists and silently vowed to herself that she would definitely bring about the marriage between Su Banxia and Su Feng.

Qin was doing embroidery in the house when she overheard Su Tao beating and scolding Su Mo in the yard. She didn't want to get involved because she also felt that Su Mo deserved to be beaten.

Hearing Wang Guihua join the fray from inside the house, she couldn't sit still any longer. Her daughter was about to go on a blind date, and she couldn't let her get hurt.

Thinking this, Qin put down her embroidery, picked up the stove hook by the door, and rushed outside.

"I'd like to see which blind fool dares to bully my daughter!"

Seeing her mother come out, Su Tao felt even more emboldened. Ignoring Wang Guihua's attempts to stop her, she slapped Su Mo across the face.

Su Mo covered her face and started crying. Although she was from the second wife's family before, she had never been bullied like this before.

Because Su Banxia had always been there to protect her, the Su family members had always bullied Su Banxia. Now that Su Banxia was no longer being bullied, they turned around and bullied her instead.

Compared to the person who hit and bullied her, what Su Mo resented more was that Su Banxia didn't obediently play the role of the one being bullied, and now it was her turn to suffer in her place.
