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

Upon entering the house, Su Ye looked around, trying to see where the second family had put the wild boar from yesterday. In fact, Su Banxia had already disposed of the wild boar yesterday.

She stored all the delicious meat in her spatial storage, while the less tasty meat was salted and hung on the rafters to air dry.

She had long anticipated that the Su family would covet the second branch's meat. She would simply say that all the meat was gone, and this was all that was left. She added that Su Banxia herself wouldn't eat the lymph node meat, so it was fine to give it to them if they wanted it.

When Su Banxia saw Su Ye looking around as soon as he entered, she naturally knew what he was planning. So she sat down at the table with Su Hanzhang and the others, wanting to hear what Su Ye was going to say.

Su Ye noticed the meat hanging from the rafters, swallowed hard, and then smiled at Su Hanzhang, saying:

“Second brother, as you know, Ayu is carrying my child in her belly. I really can’t bear to let her eat such bland food with me every day.”

Su Hanzhang frowned, looked at Su Ye, and nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"I saw that you got a wild boar yesterday, so I thought I'd come over and ask you for a piece of meat to help your nephew get some nourishment."

Su Banxia exchanged a glance with Su Hanzhang after hearing this, and then said:

“Uncle, as you know, our second branch of the family has hired people to help build houses at the foot of Dwarf Mountain. These workers all need to eat. This whole wild boar looks big, but there are too many people to eat it.”

As she spoke, Su Banxia pointed to several pieces of salted meat hanging from the roof beam and continued:

"Look, all that's left of this whole wild boar are these few pieces of meat."

Upon hearing this, Su Ye looked at the pieces of flesh hanging from the roof beam with a pained expression, then gritted her teeth and said:

"Well, there's no need to feed the workers so much. But a few pieces of meat are a token of my appreciation, so I'll accept them."

As he spoke, Su Ye got up to get the meat, but Su Banxia quickly got up and stopped him.

“Uncle, it wasn’t just your family who saw this meat; everyone in the Su family compound saw it. If our second branch only gives you the meat and not the others, wouldn’t we be subjected to their disdain for no reason?”

As she spoke, Su Banxia looked at Su Hanzhang and said:

“Yesterday my father said he was going to send all this meat to my grandmother’s house to show his respect. Now you’ve taken it away like this. I’m afraid my father will be branded as unfilial because of you.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ye frowned slightly, then sat down and looked at Su Banxia with displeasure, saying:

So you mean you don't want to give it to me?

Su Banxia quickly poured Su Ye a cup of tea with a smile.

"Uncle, that's not what I meant. I definitely wanted to give you the meat, but with so many eyes watching in this yard, I can't just give it to you for free, can I?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ye frowned even more deeply.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Why don't you go to the foot of Dwarf Mountain for us and help out with the work for seven days? I'll give you all this meat, and no one else can find fault with it. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ye glanced at the meat hanging from the rafters, then gritted her teeth and said:

"Alright, I don't have anything else to do right now anyway, let's do it! I'll go with you guys tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia excitedly called out to Su Shiyan:

"Brother, hurry up and take all the meat down and give it to Uncle."

After saying that, Su Banxia smiled at Su Ye:

"Uncle, it's settled then. You can't go back on your word. Right now, all the able-bodied people in the village are helping us with the work. If you back out, not only will people in our yard know, but the whole village will find out."

Su Ye took the meat from Su Shiyan, weighed it in her hand, and then waved her hand, saying:

"Don't worry, would your uncle lie to you?"

After saying that, he took the meat and went out.

Actually, Su Ye was getting a little tired of serving Li Ayu in the courtyard. He was tall and strong, so helping out with chores for a few days was fine, since he was quite strong anyway.

As long as she wasn't confined to Li Ayu's side serving her all day, Su Ye could finally go out and get some fresh air.

Li Ayu peered out the window, watching the commotion outside. When she saw Su Ye return carrying a large string of meat, she clapped her hands with delight.

"Brother Su, you're really amazing. Yesterday I saw your mother go to the second branch of the family to ask for meat but she couldn't get any. Today you're going to give us so much."

As she spoke, Li Ayu quickly took the pork from Su Ye's hand, sniffed it, and then looked at it happily from left to right.

"Hey, this meat doesn't look like it's from a good place. Oh well, as long as I have meat to eat, I've broken my fast!"

As Li Ayu placed the meat in the basin, she pulled Su Ye to sit down on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed).

Su Ye glanced at Li Ayu and then spoke:

“Ayu, you’ll have to stay in the yard by yourself these next few days. Now that we’ve taken so much meat from the second family, and with so many eyes watching us in the yard, I definitely need to go and help them build a house for a few days.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ayu's face immediately turned cold.

“The second wife’s family is truly heartless. You, as the eldest brother, eat a little bit of their meat, yet they still expect you to do chores.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ye's eyes darted around, and she quickly waved her hand, saying:

"It wasn't the second wife who suggested it; I wanted to go myself. I am, after all, the older brother. My younger brother's family is building a house, and if I don't show up and help for a few days, I'm afraid the villagers will gossip."

Li Ayu sighed and sat down next to Su Ye.

“Brother Su, you are too kind. You always think of others first. Who in this family has ever thought about you or considered your difficulties? Now you, a grown man, are taking care of me, a pregnant woman.”

Hearing this, Su Ye was very pleased. It seemed that his status in A Yu's heart had risen again.

“Ayu, you’re carrying my child, and I don’t trust anyone else to take care of you.”

Seeing how considerate Su Ye was, Li Ayu leaned on his shoulder with a smile.

“Brother Su, you’ve been so good to me. I know your difficulties. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself these next few days. Go and help the second wife with the work. I can’t let you be gossiped about by the villagers because of me.”

Seeing that Ayu had agreed, Su Ye quickly put his arm around her shoulder.

"Ayu, I knew you were the most obedient and sensible. I don't know what I, Su Ye, have done to deserve such an understanding wife like you."

Upon hearing this, Li Ayu lightly punched Su Ye's chest.

"Brother Su, you're so good at talking. You've completely charmed me."

The two cuddled together for a while, and then Su Ye went to prepare the pork, planning to cook a special meal of braised pork and cabbage for Li Ayu that evening.

Qin smelled the aroma of meat wafting from Li Ayu's room while she was inside, and then went directly to Liu Pozi's room.

"Mother, did you buy meat for that vixen?"
