Chapter 31 Granny Liu Finds Trouble
Wang Guihua glanced at the two of them hesitantly, then nodded with concern.
The family carried their belongings and hurried towards the Su family's old house.
When they were almost at the old house, Su Banxia said to Su Hanzhang:
"Father, Mother, you go back first. I have some things to do, so I'll be back later."
Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua exchanged a glance, then nodded. Now that the couple knew their daughter was learning from immortals in her dreams, they unconditionally trusted and supported Su Banxia.
Even Su Hanzhang felt that as long as Su Banxia was around, he had hope and confidence. After all, he could indeed feel the changes in Su Banxia in many aspects over the past few days.
So when Su Banxia said she had something to do, the couple naturally let her go without asking any questions.
Su Banxia walked into a deserted forest and entered her spatial dimension. She quickly processed the deer she had brought into the dimension earlier, carefully skinning it.
Su Banxia planned to sell these animal skins at the market to get some money to buy rice, flour, cooking oil, and other food items. This way, she could store them in her space to cook for her family. She also needed to buy some vegetable seeds to plant in the fertile fields of her space.
As Su Banxia prepared the venison, she reminisced about the days of going to the market. It seemed that the market was tomorrow, so she should get up early and go for a stroll.
Su Banxia worked quickly, and with the strong fire in the kitchen, she soon made a plate of braised venison. She also stewed some of the remaining venison to make venison soup the next morning.
I also took out some of the marinated meat to save for making venison buns next time, and sliced the rest of the venison to make spicy jerky so I could eat it anytime.
After everything was ready, Su Banxia came out of the space and carried the freshly made braised venison to the Su family home.
Upon entering the courtyard, Su Yunhe was seen eating melon seeds. Seeing Su Banxia enter, Su Yunhe sniffed the air, stared at the bowl in Su Banxia's hand, and asked suspiciously:
"What do you have in your hand?"
Su Banxia ignored her, instead carrying the bowl straight into the second room, and then slammed the door shut.
"Father, Mother, come and eat quickly, lest someone take it away from us."
Seeing that Su Banxia was carrying a basin and had covered it with a large leaf, the people inside knew that she had brought meat from somewhere again. They all glanced nervously out the window, then quickly gathered around the table to sit down.
"Big sister, what delicious food have you made this time? I could smell the aroma as soon as I walked in."
Su Banxia smiled and glanced at Su Shiyan, then lifted the leaves covering the pot.
"Hurry up and try this. This is the venison I found on the mountain today. I've made it into a braised dish. Try it and see if you like it."
As she spoke, Su Banxia turned her head and gave Su Mo a meaningful look, but Su Mo didn't dare to meet her gaze at all. She just lowered her head, staring at the pot of venison, and picked up her chopsticks to eat the meat.
Su Banxia didn't want to include her in the meal. She had already been wronged enough by being tied up by a perverted man for an entire afternoon, and now she had to listen to Su Mo's sarcastic remarks, as if she was shirking her responsibilities. And now she had the nerve to come and eat the food she had cooked.
If it weren't for the fact that she was also part of the second wife's family, Su Banxia would never have let her eat meat with her.
The second family had only eaten half of their meat when they heard Granny Liu knocking on the door.
"You lazy woman, I really don't know why my son married you. It's so late, why aren't you out cooking? Don't you know the whole family is exhausted from working in the fields and is waiting for dinner!"
As she spoke, Granny Liu kicked the door panel several times, seemingly still not satisfied.
Wang Guihua, who was already feeling guilty for secretly eating meat in the house, was so startled by Liu Pozi's shout that she dropped her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly patted Wang Guihua's hand reassuringly and called out towards the door:
"Grandma, we second-generation family members have also worked hard all day and are not in the mood to eat. My parents have already gone to bed, so we won't cook. You can take care of yourselves!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu angrily said:
"You brat, why are you interrupting when adults are talking? Open the door now! You're not eating, but we are! Where's your mother? Tell her to get up and not try to slack off!"
As she spoke, Granny Liu stopped knocking and turned to peer through the window. Su Shiyan quickly stood up and blocked the window, preventing Granny Liu from opening it.
At this moment, Wang Guihua was already trembling with fear.
"Banxia, why don't I go out and cook? If your grandma finds out we're secretly eating meat, she'll definitely not forgive us, the second branch of the family."
Su Banxia stood up and said to Wang Guihua:
"Mother, don't worry about it. I said on the day the land was divided that we should grow our own land and eat our own food, and no one should take advantage of anyone else. I'll go out and explain it to Grandma right now!"
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out.
When Granny Liu saw the door to the second room open, she rushed forward, glared at Su Banxia, and craned her neck to peer into the room.
"Where's your mother, that jinx? Can't she hear me even when I'm yelling at her? Is she deaf?"
Su Banxia immediately pushed Liu Pozi back to block the door.
"Grandma, if you're really hungry, hurry up and cook. Don't worry about our second branch's affairs. My mother won't cook for you anymore. We made it clear on the day the land was divided that each branch would grow its own land and eat its own food, and no one would take advantage of anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu immediately reached out to slap Su Banxia's face, but Su Banxia turned around and dodged it.
"You brat, I've really gone too far. When did I say we should eat separately?"
Su Banxia snorted coldly.
"Anyway, you never let our second branch of the family sit at the table when you eat, so now we don't have to eat the food you're giving us. You can be secretly happy about that. Now go away. You're at least half an elder to me, so don't make me slap you!"
Granny Liu was furious upon hearing this.
"What do you mean by half an elder? I'm your grandmother! I think you've grown up, your wings have hardened, and you've become bold. You even dare to slap me."
As she spoke, Granny Liu shouted into the house at the top of her lungs:
"Su Hanzhang, you heartless and unfilial son! I raised you with great difficulty, and this is how you repay me? If you have the guts, come out and explain yourself to me. Don't let some ignorant little brat provoke me!"
Granny Liu became increasingly agitated as she shouted, and she directly tried to pull at Su Banxia. Seeing this, Su Yunhe, who was standing in the yard, rushed over and handed Granny Liu a broom.
"Mother, here you go. Beat this disobedient jinx to death! With her around, our Su family is in constant turmoil. Now we're falling apart and about to split up!"
