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

Granny Liu was very happy to hear Qin's words. She ate a few more bites of rice and then went back to her room to count the betrothal gifts that Sun Da had sent.

Su Yunhe had been traveling in an oxcart all morning, finally arriving at Sunjia Village around noon. However, the atmosphere in Sunjia Village was not as lively as Su Yunhe had imagined.

Only a few scattered people on the street saw Sun Da return with Su Yunhe, and they whispered among themselves. When Sun Da glared at them, they immediately moved away as if they had seen a plague god.

Su Yunhe felt her heart pounding and looked at Aunt Cai, asking:

"Aunt Cai, this village doesn't seem very lively."

Aunt Cai's face stiffened upon hearing this, and she gave an awkward laugh:

"We haven't even arrived at Grandpa Sun's yet. Grandpa Sun's house is bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. You'll see when you get there."

Su Yunhe nodded and followed Sun Da forward.

After walking for quite a while, the oxcart finally arrived at the Sun family's house. The Sun family's house was indeed impressive, with more than a dozen rooms, which was in stark contrast to the other low thatched houses in the village.

Seeing the house, Su Yunhe felt a little more at ease. It seemed that what Sun Da said was right; the Sun family was indeed one of the wealthiest families in Sunjia Village, as could be seen from the grandeur of the house.

Su Yunhe followed Sun Da into the courtyard and saw two elderly people sitting in the main seat. These must be Sun Da's parents. A few people were standing around watching the commotion, and three boys were eating meat at the table.

Su Yunhe frowned upon seeing this. These three children, whose parents she didn't know, were so impolite. The host hadn't even taken their seats yet, and the three of them had already started eating.

Su Yunhe followed Sun Da to the two old men. Sun Da smiled and said to Su Yunhe:

"Yunhe, quickly kneel down and kowtow to our parents. After you marry into this family, you must take good care of our parents."

Su Yunhe frowned slightly upon hearing this. Didn't Sun Da say that he didn't need to take care of his parents? How come he's expected to take care of them now that he's just entered the family?

Unfortunately, today is my big day, so I can't just let off any pent-up feelings now. I can only ask Sun Da about it later tonight.

Thinking this, Su Yunhe knelt down and kowtowed to Old Man Sun and Old Woman Sun, calling out "Father, Mother" again.

After the two went through the wedding ceremony, Sun Da asked Aunt Cai to escort Su Yunhe into the house, while he himself invited everyone present to eat.

Su Yunhe said with some worry in her heart:

"Aunt Cai, why is Sun Da acting differently than he did before?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai quickly spoke up:

"My dear girl, just settle down here. What's so different about Sun Daneng? He's still the same person. I'm just here to act as matchmaker. From now on, you two will have to live your own lives. Alright, you can wait in the room. I'll have someone bring you some food in a bit. I'll go out now."

As she spoke, Aunt Cai, fearing that Su Yunhe would call her again, quickly walked out.

By the time Sun Da finished entertaining the guests, it was already evening. He was quite drunk. Thinking that there was a beautiful woman waiting for him in the room, he staggered into the room.

Su Yunhe waited in the room all afternoon but no one brought her any food. She could only eat some peanuts and lotus seeds that were left on the bed to fill her stomach.

Seeing Sun stagger in, completely drunk, he felt a surge of anger.

Sun Da didn't care about Su Yunhe's feelings at all. He directly and roughly lifted Su Yunhe's veil, and then went to tear off her clothes.

"My good wife, I've finally married you, I want to tear you apart."

As he spoke, Sun Da, with his smelly mouth, was about to kiss Su Yunhe on the lips. Su Yunhe subconsciously dodged her head, causing Sun Da to miss his kiss.

"Sun Da, sit down and let's talk for a bit. I'm a little hungry right now. Could you go get me something to eat?"

Sun waved his hand unhappily and said:

"What are you eating? What were you doing all this time? You've already eaten all the food outside!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe felt a surge of grievance.

“I’m a new bride and can’t go out, but look at your relatives, they’re really not presentable. When we just walked in, we saw three kids eating meat like they hadn’t eaten in eight lifetimes.”

As she spoke, Su Yunhe unhappily smoothed the hair behind her ear.

"Now that it's evening, they haven't even left any food for the bride. They're truly a bunch of poor relatives who are like reincarnated starving ghosts!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Da frowned, stood up, and slapped Su Yunhe across the face.

"Who did you just call 'unpresentable'? Those three children are my own sons. Can't they even eat meat in their own home?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe's eyes immediately reddened, and she covered her swollen right cheek, looking at Sun Da in disbelief.

"You, how could you have a son..."

Sun Da snorted coldly.

"How could I not have a son at my age? Do you think everyone is like you, an old maid who hasn't married? Now that I'm able to marry you, you're lucky!"

As he spoke, Sun Da plopped down on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"From now on, you will stay in the Sun family and take good care of my parents and three children. Of course, you won't go hungry. Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, my last wife was beaten to death by me because she was dishonest."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe was startled and quickly stood up, saying:

"I'm not marrying you anymore. I'm leaving. I'm leaving your family!"

Sun Da stepped forward and slapped Su Yunhe again, then picked her up and started tearing at her clothes.

"You were bought by me for over ten taels of silver. Do you think you can just leave whenever you want?"

Without saying another word, he pulled Su Yunhe into the bed...

The next day,

When Su Banxia heard that Sun Da had come to marry Su Yunhe yesterday, she felt something was amiss. This old woman Liu was really obsessed with money. How was this any different from selling her daughter?

This incident shows that the Sun family has absolutely no respect for the Su family, and it's likely that Su Yunhe will never be able to hold her head high in the Sun family again.

Su Banxia only grumbled inwardly; she couldn't be bothered with the Su family's affairs. The house on the other side of Dwarf Mountain was almost finished, and now, according to Su Banxia's request, they had started building the second floor.

These past few days, Su Banxia hasn't had time to go up the mountain to help Wei Kezhi cook. After all, none of the villagers have ever built a two-story house before, so there are naturally many things they don't understand. Although Su Banxia has drawn up the blueprints, she is still worried.

Therefore, Su Banxia had been supervising the construction at the foot of Dwarf Mountain every day for the past few days. This morning, as soon as she arrived at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, she heard a loud "boom," followed by a series of screams of "Ahhh!"
