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

"Um, I, I didn't mean to..."

Wei Kezhi suppressed her physical reaction, her face flushed as she looked at Su Banxia.

"Then, could you please take your hand away first?"

Su Banxia only then realized that her hand was still holding that spot, so she quickly pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted, turned her body away with a flushed face, and stammered:

"I, no, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. How about we eat first..."

Wei Kezhi gave a hoarse "hmm," then took out a tiger skin and covered it with his legs. He forced himself to get up and walked shakily to the table, where he sat down.

Su Banxia pursed her lips and glanced at the tiger skin covering Wei Kezhi's lower body. Her heart pounded wildly. The thought of the hard touch she had just felt made her face, which had just recovered a little, turn red again, her ears turning bright red.

The atmosphere had become extremely awkward, and Su Banxia was the first to cough a few times and speak:

"Hey, I steamed a pot of buns for you, so you won't go hungry when I'm not around."

As soon as Su Banxia finished speaking, she met Wei Kezhi's hurt expression.

"Aren't you coming tomorrow?"

Seeing Wei Kezhi's expression, Su Banxia's heart tightened, and she quickly explained:

"I, I came. I was afraid that if I came late, you would be waiting in the house and there would be nothing to eat. I will put this steamed bun in the house for you later. You can take it and eat it if you want."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi finally felt relieved and nodded with a smile:

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you as long as you come."

Su Banxia's expression stiffened, and she quickly placed a piece of braised pork in Wei Kezhi's bowl, changing the subject:

"This braised pork is too greasy, you can't eat too much of it. Just eat a few pieces to satisfy your craving, and save the rest for when you get hungry in the middle of the night."

Wei Kezhi picked up the braised pork from his bowl, took a bite, and his eyes lit up. He never liked oily food, and braised pork was especially forbidden for him. This was the first time he had ever tasted braised pork that was tender yet not greasy, melted in his mouth, and fatty yet not oily.

After eating several pieces, he looked at Su Banxia with admiration and said:

"I must say, your cooking skills are really good."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia proudly said:

"That's a must. Being a good cook is a basic requirement for any foodie. Someone like me who has been self-reliant since childhood would have a miserable life if I didn't eat properly."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi looked at Su Banxia, ​​who was smiling, with a complicated expression. He always felt that Su Banxia was different from other girls; she always seemed cheerful on the surface.

But he always felt that Su Banxia was carrying a lot of pain and secrets in her heart. Although she was smiling, there was always an indescribable heartache behind that smile.

Wei Kezhi gave Su Banxia a deep look, picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her bowl, saying softly:

"You're right, eat more if you like it."

After the two finished eating, Su Banxia helped Wei Kezhi to bed, then tidied up the yard and the dishes, and kept the remaining food warm in the pot for him to eat that night.

Su Banxia had planned to go down the mountain early today to cook for her parents. After all, they were starting to build the house and dig the foundation, so Su Hanzhang and the others would naturally be doing more work. The food needed to be nutritious.

I can't help with anything else, but I naturally have to take good care of their food and drink.

However, when Su Banxia reached the courtyard gate, she saw the few remaining wooden sticks in the yard. The thought of Wei Kezhi shakily getting out of bed made her feel a pang of pity.

So they simply chose two suitable wooden sticks and started hammering and tinkering them in the yard to make walking sticks for Wei Kezhi.

Wei Kezhi, who was feeling disappointed that Su Banxia was leaving, was delighted to see Su Banxia busy with something in her yard. She quickly opened the window and watched her busy figure in the yard.

Before long, Su Banxia finished making the cane. She then went inside and thoughtfully found some scraps of cloth to wrap the cane, so that it wouldn't rub against her skin.

Wei Kezhi looked at the thing in Su Banxia's hand and asked in confusion:

"what is this?"

Su Banxia took the cane and began demonstrating it to Wei Kezhi.

"This is called a walking stick. With it, you'll be able to walk more easily when you get out of bed, and it will also be easier for you to go to the toilet."

Seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly got up and imitated Su Banxia's earlier actions, using her cane as well.

"This thing is really useful. I didn't know you had such a talent."

Su Banxia touched her nose guiltily and laughed:

"It's nothing, I just like to think things through, and this is how it came in handy."

As she spoke, Su Banxia glanced out the window.

"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back now. I'm leaving first, you can lie down."

Having said that, he ran out quickly without waiting for Wei Kezhi to speak.

When Su Banxia arrived at the foot of the mountain, Su Hanzhang and the others were still working hard. Su Banxia was unhappy to see that Su Mo had not come to work at Dwarf Mountain with the second family today.

Now, Su Mo is terrified that if she leaves the Su family, she will miss Aunt Cai's message.

So for the past few days, she simply stopped helping the second branch of the family with chores and lived and ate with the Su family. Naturally, the Su family's chores fell to her alone.

However, Su Mo didn't care about the hardships she was enduring right now, as long as she could marry into a good family in the future.

Su Mo secretly vowed in her heart that one day she would get married in style and make those who had bullied her and looked down on her regret it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Banxia quickly slipped into her spatial dimension to cook while no one from the second household was looking.

Su Banxia made venison buns with the leftover venison, stir-fried the pork and cauliflower she brought back from Wei Kezhi's house today, and also picked some greens from her own space to stir-fry a plate of vegetables.

I took a basket of mushrooms I had picked on the way down the mountain and made a pot of delicious mushroom soup.

After everything was prepared, Su Banxia placed the food on a large rock and called out to Su Hanzhang and the others:

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, stop working and come over here to eat while the food is still hot. That way we won't have to go back to the Su family's house to eat!"

Su Hanzhang understood Su Banxia's concerns from her words, so he put down his tools and greeted Wang Guihua and Su Shiyan:

"Banxia is right, let's go eat!"

While the three of them were eating, Su Banxia wanted to check on the progress of the foundation digging. However, as soon as she walked to the side of the foundation, she slipped and fell. Before Su Banxia could cry out, she saw what looked like a wooden box in one corner of the foundation.

Su Banxia didn't dare to make a sound, and immediately picked up the shovel from the pit and started digging...
