Chapter 89 Wang Guihua angers Su Banxia
Wei Kezhi forced a smile and then went back to work.
Although Su Banxia felt that Wei Kezhi was acting strangely today, she didn't ask too many questions. After all, everyone has secrets, and she and Wei Kezhi were just friends, so it was not appropriate to pry too much.
Seeing that Wei Kezhi had finished making the doghouse, Su Banxia quickly got up and carried Xiaobai into it.
"Xiaobai, this will be your home from now on. Do you like it?"
As if it understood, Little White barked twice and then happily circled around its little house, licking its tail.
Su Banxia and Wei Kezhi exchanged a smile upon seeing this:
"Alright, it's getting late, I should head down the mountain now. You should go inside quickly. Make sure to close the gate properly while I'm gone. I'll feel more at ease knowing that Xiao Hei will keep you company from now on."
Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Wei Kezhi felt a warmth in his heart and smiled:
"Let me take you down the mountain."
As Su Banxia walked outside, she waved her hand and said:
"Don't try to put on a brave face in front of me. I could tell a few days ago that your leg isn't fully healed yet. Don't go anywhere right now. Just stay home and rest to avoid any lasting effects. Also, we haven't finished eating the pork yet, so don't go and fight for it."
Wei Kezhi watched Su Banxia's retreating figure, her eyes reddening, and nodded frantically.
"Well, I will listen to you."
He used to bear his injuries alone, and no one had ever cared about him like this before. Now that Su Banxia could see that he was putting on a brave face, Wei Kezhi felt a warmth in his heart.
After meeting Su Banxia, he seemed to become more down-to-earth and approachable. He no longer always had a cold face and looked impatient with everything.
Su Banxia was like a fireplace in winter, warming him from time to time.
Su Banxia only felt that as Wei Kezhi's only friend, it was her duty to care about him, and she didn't think much of it. Right now, she was in a hurry to go down the mountain to cook for the second branch of the family.
Su Banxia's cooking skills have improved considerably. Dealing with firewood, rice, oil, and salt every day, she's already planning that once the second house is built, she'll have more time to go into business.
The medicinal herbs growing in the space are getting bigger and bigger every day, growing very fast. When they are all dug up, they can be exchanged for a large sum of money, which can be kept as capital.
As Su Banxia happily descended the mountain, she noticed the workers were still busy, so she stopped Su Shiyan and asked:
"Brother, has the matter I told you about this morning been taken care of?"
Su Shiyan nodded.
"I've made all the arrangements. Erzhuzi will be on guard tonight, and I'll have a few of the younger ones take turns keeping watch. I heard they can earn money while they sleep, so they're all very willing."
Su Banxia nodded in relief after hearing this.
"Then let Erzhuzi eat with us tonight."
After saying that, Su Banxia went to help Wang Guihua cook.
"Mom, cook more tonight, make sure Erzhuzi is well-fed."
Wang Guihua nodded and smiled:
"Okay, I know, don't worry. I was thinking of bringing some food back for your little sister today, so I'll make a lot."
Su Banxia listened to this without saying a word, but silently kept her head down and continued working. Su Mo had told Granny Liu about her family's situation last time. If she hadn't arrived in time to save the money, she was afraid that she wouldn't have been able to pay the villagers who came to help.
In addition, Su Banxia was also unhappy because Wei Kezhi had brought her some things to the Su family a few days ago, and Su Mo had interfered in the process. Therefore, the little bit of goodwill she had just developed towards this younger sister had been completely exhausted.
She wouldn't care about Su Mo's affairs anymore; as long as things looked good on the surface, that was enough. As for Wang Guihua's desire to dote on her daughter, she naturally couldn't stop her.
While Su Banxia was lost in thought, Wang Guihua spoke up while washing the pot.
"Banxia, that Xiao Wei who came to our house a few days ago, I think he's a nice person."
Su Banxia nodded as she tended the fire:
"Yes, he's not bad."
Seeing that Su Banxia also thought this person was acceptable, Wang Guihua quickly smiled and said:
"Since that's the case, why don't you arrange for Su Mo to be his wife? As her older sister, you should also care about your younger sister's marriage."
Upon hearing this, Su Banxia paused slightly in her hand holding the firewood, then said with displeasure:
“Mother, I, as the older sister, am not even married yet. Why is she, as the younger sister, in such a hurry? It doesn’t sound good if people find out.”
Wang Guihua sighed.
“I’m not worried that Su Feng will keep bothering your little sister. I’m thinking that if we can marry her off sooner, Su Feng will give up on her. I think that Xiao Wei is also strong and healthy. He killed such a big wild boar just like that.”
As Wang Guihua spoke, she paused and looked at Su Banxia.
"If Su Mo really marries Xiao Wei in the future, then we won't have to worry about Su Feng causing trouble."
Su Banxia sneered.
"Do you think Su Feng is the kind of person who would give up so easily? Today, Su Feng himself said that he had already touched Su Mo's body. Given Su Mo's current reputation, how could I possibly ask him to arrange a marriage for her?"
As Wang Guihua put vegetables into the pot, she said nonchalantly:
"You believe these words? It's all Su Feng's wishful thinking. He deliberately ruined Su Mo's reputation so that he could marry her. How can you, as her older sister, not speak up for your sister but instead help others?"
Su Banxia threw the firewood in her hand to the ground, stood up, and looked straight at Wang Guihua.
"Whether what Su Feng said is true or not, I don't care. Su Feng came to cause trouble this morning, and I spoke up for Su Mo. I've been more than kind to her."
As she spoke, Su Banxia's face turned cold, and she said in a deep voice:
"If you want me to go against my conscience and ruin my friend's life for Su Mo's marriage, I absolutely cannot agree!"
Wang Guihua had never seen Su Banxia so angry with her, so she stammered:
"If you don't want to, fine, but why are you getting so angry? Besides, last time Xiao Wei came to our house, I saw him chatting quite well with your sister, and I thought Xiao Wei liked your sister."
Su Banxia shook her head helplessly after hearing Wang Guihua's words. Wei Kezhi had gone to the Su family to apologize to her last time, and before leaving, Wei Kezhi had also said that she was not familiar with Su Mo.
Right now, Wang Guihua is so desperate to marry Su Mo off and escape Su Feng's clutches that she's completely lost her senses. Su Banxia is too lazy to argue with her and simply says coldly:
"In that case, let Su Mo spend her time with Wei Kezhi on her own. She's so charming, she'll definitely bewitch Wei Kezhi."
After saying that, Su Banxia stopped cooking and turned to leave.
Wang Guihua frowned as she watched Su Banxia's angry retreating figure:
"Look at this child, she got angry and left before we could even exchange a few words. I wonder who provoked her today."
