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

Su Banxia, ​​who had been happily waiting for her parents to return so they could eat fish, was suddenly brought to tears by Su Hanzhang's beating. Wang Guihua, who was standing behind her, was so frightened by this that she dropped her bamboo basket and rushed forward to protect Su Banxia.

"Hanzhang, how could you hit Banxia like that?"

Su Hanzhang glared at Wang Guihua and cursed:

"Guihua, get up! Don't force me to hit you too! If this girl isn't taught a lesson soon, she'll go too far! She even dared to hit Qingsong today; who knows what other outrageous things she'll do tomorrow!"

At this moment, Su Banxia felt a burning pain in her back, as if Su Hanzhang had beaten her until her skin was torn and bleeding. At this point, Su Banxia couldn't care less about the pain in her back; she only found the way she had waited for them to come back for boiled fish in the room earlier quite amusing.

Su Hanzhang thought that this blow with the carrying pole would make Su Banxia restrain herself and stop being so presumptuous, but to his surprise, Su Banxia actually had a smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Su Hanzhang became even angrier and stepped forward, ignoring Wang Guihua's attempts to stop him, and struck her again with a carrying pole. Wang Guihua rushed forward and hugged Su Banxia, ​​shielding her from the blow.

Su Banxia was somewhat shocked. She hadn't expected Wang Guihua to protect her like this. She had thought Wang Guihua was completely love-struck, only knowing how to listen to Su Hanzhang and having no opinions of her own, which was why she was easily led by the nose by the Su family.

She never expected that the person desperately protecting her at this moment would be Wang Guihua...

At this moment, Su Shiyan, who had arrived from behind, also hurriedly dropped the firewood he was carrying and ran into the yard. Although he didn't know why his father was beating his mother and younger sister, he still instinctively rushed forward, knelt on the ground, and begged Su Hanzhang for forgiveness.

"Father, please stop hitting Mother and my younger sister. They can't withstand your beatings. If you want to hit someone, hit me instead!"

Su Mo, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, felt a pang of jealousy seeing her older brother protecting Su Banxia like this. So she went straight up and grabbed Su Shiyan's arm.

“Brother, get up. This has nothing to do with you. Didn’t you see how badly Su Banxia beat Qingsong? She was wrong to begin with. If Father doesn’t discipline her properly, she’ll be ruined.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan turned to look at Su Qingsong standing to the side, then turned to look at Su Banxia and Wang Guihua kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth, and said:

“Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Why didn’t you say anything when Qingsong beat Banxia? Banxia only fought back once, so why should she be beaten like this? Besides, my mother and Banxia were both beaten, so this evens out!”

Lin originally wanted Su Hanzhang to hit Su Banxia a few more times to vent her anger, but upon hearing Su Shiyan's words, she immediately became agitated, waving her fists and shouting:

"Hey, Su Shiyan, what are you saying? You don't know the pain until you get slapped, do you? Look at what your dear sister did to my son, look what she's like now. You can't even take a few blows with a carrying pole?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang quickly smiled and said to Madam Lin:

"Third sister-in-law, my Banxia was wrong in this matter. I will discipline her properly and I will never let such a thing happen again!"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia suddenly burst into laughter. She slowly stood up, her eyes coldly fixed on Su Hanzhang.

"Su Hanzhang, you really have the appearance of a lackey. Why don't you ask me why I hit Su Qingsong? Why do you come up here and start disciplining me?"

As she spoke, Su Banxia walked directly up to Su Qingsong and slapped him across the left cheek again.

"Hmm, it looks more symmetrical this way."

After Su Banxia finished speaking calmly, she turned around and helped Wang Guihua, who was lying on the ground, to her feet, and then walked into the house.

Seeing this, Lin, who was standing nearby, immediately began to wail and cry:

"Oh dear, my son, you're disfigured! What are we going to do? Su Banxia, ​​you little bastard who was born of a mother but not raised by one, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

As she spoke, Lin picked up a broom from the yard and was about to hit Su Banxia with it.

Seeing this, Su Shiyan quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Shi, shouting to Su Banxia:

"Banxia, ​​hurry up and come inside with your mother. I'll be outside!"

Su Banxia had never experienced being protected like this before. Seeing Su Shiyan's anxious expression, her eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Brother, don't stop her! I want to see what she's up to!"

Su Shiyan was listening to Su Banxia and, without noticing, Lin Shi broke free.

"Alright, you little bastard, let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance!"

As she spoke, Lin brandished the broom and ran towards Su Banxia. However, before she even reached Su Banxia, ​​she accidentally tripped over a small pebble and fell flat on her face.

Su Banxia had originally planned to slap Lin Shi across the face when she rushed over, but Lin Shi collapsed before she could even get there, saving her the trouble.

"Hahaha, this is what they call karma!"

Su Banxia laughed a few times and pulled Wang Guihua into the house. When Su Shiyan saw that his mother and younger sister had gone into the house, he hurriedly turned around and glanced at Su Hanzhang, who was still standing there in a daze. Then he stepped over Lin Shi's body and ran into the house.

Seeing his mother fall, Su Qingsong rushed to help her up. Su Hanzhang was still somewhat unable to accept the changes in Su Banxia.

Su Banxia used to never dare to talk back to her. Even if Su Qingsong hit her, she wouldn't fight back. But now Su Banxia seems like a completely different person, making her seem somewhat unfamiliar to Su Hanzhang.

Su Shiyan locked the door as soon as he entered the room.

"Little sister, are you alright? Mother, are you in pain?"

Wang Guihua glanced at Su Shiyan, then at Su Banxia, ​​and sighed helplessly.

"Mother, it's alright, Banxia, ​​what's wrong with you lately..."

Su Banxia helped Wang Guihua sit down at the table, smiled at her, and

“Mother, I’m fine. I’ve just figured it out. I don’t want to be a slave to the Su family anymore, and I don’t want to be trampled on anymore. You can think of it as the old Su Banxia dying, and the current me is a different person.”

As she spoke, Su Banxia pulled Su Shiyan to the table as well, then lifted the lid of the boiled fish covered with a large leaf and said with a smile:

"Look, these are the fish I caught today. I made boiled fish. Try them quickly, they won't taste good if they get cold!"

Su Banxia handed chopsticks to the two women. Wang Guihua looked at the large bowl of fish and meat in front of her and swallowed hard. She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten meat.

Normally, the Su family would give the less desirable dishes to the third branch of the family, forbidding them from eating at the table and instead having them eat in the kitchen.

So they were always hungry. Now, seeing so much fish and meat, Wang Guihua was very tempted, but she hesitated, her chopsticks in hand, and dared not pick up any food.

"Banxia, ​​what do you think? Should we take this fish to your grandparents to eat? And after they've finished eating, we can..."
