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

Chapter 6 The Village Head Arrives

Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang was the first to rush out, then hurriedly looked at Fifth Aunt with an embarrassed expression.

"Fifth Aunt, please let my mother go. I agree to let her discipline Banxia for me. Banxia really did something wrong..."

Before Su Hanzhang could finish speaking, Fifth Aunt spat in his face and cursed:

"Get out of here! Everyone knows you're a coward too. We neighbors have all seen how much your daughter has suffered because of you. Now you know to come out and stand up for your mother? Did you say a word for your daughter when she was suffering?"

While sobbing softly, Su Banxia listened to her fifth aunt's indignant speech, feeling deeply moved. She never expected that her fifth aunt, an outsider, would help her so much.

Looking at her own parents, with whom she had some affection but not much, Su Banxia felt somewhat disheartened.

Just as everyone was making a ruckus and didn't know how to end the farce, someone from the crowd went and invited the village headman. When Granny Liu saw the village headman coming from afar, she immediately threw down the broom in her hand, calmed down, and looked at the village headman with a fawning expression.

"Ahem, Granny Liu, what trouble are you causing here again!"

The village head walked over with his hands behind his back and a dignified expression.

Granny Liu said with a grin:

"Oh dear, what brings the village head here? Have you eaten yet? If not, come to my house for a bite!"

The village head waved his hand impatiently and asked:

"I'm not eating it. Forget everything else, tell me what's going on?"

As he spoke, the village head pointed to Su Banxia, ​​who was lying on the ground crying.

Seeing this, Su Banxia rushed forward and hugged the village head's leg, crying out:

"Village head, my grandma wants to beat me to death, sob sob, please save me!"

Upon hearing this, the village headman calmly withdrew his leg, then frowned and looked at Granny Liu.

"Old Liu, the second son's family has been working like slaves for your family, and everyone in the village has seen it. Why are you driving a child to this state!"

Upon seeing this, Granny Liu immediately explained with a nervous expression.

"No, no, village head, it's, it's that brat was in the wrong first. How could I really beat her to death? After all, she's my own granddaughter. I was just trying to scare her."

Aunt Wu, who was standing to the side, snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Hmph, you were just saying you were going to beat Banxia to death, and all of us neighbors heard it. Why did you change your mind now that the village head is here? Weren't you quite tough just now?"

The village head glared at Granny Liu.

"No matter what mistake the child made, it doesn't warrant the death penalty. If someone in our Su Family Village dies because of your family, no one in the surrounding villages will want to be related to us by marriage. Can you take responsibility then?"

The villagers who were watching suddenly realized what the village head had said. If Aunt Wu hadn't stopped her, and Granny Liu had really beaten Su Banxia to death, wouldn't that have ruined the reputation of Su Family Village?

What kind of family could be so heartless as to beat their own granddaughter to death? If such a reputation were to spread, no one would want to marry into Sujia Village again, and no one would want to marry a girl from Sujia Village.

Once everyone had this in mind, they all started talking at once.

"Yes, Granny Liu, your Banxia is such a good girl, look what you've driven her to!"

"That's right. Although it's only right for a grandmother to discipline the younger generation, everything should have its limits!"

"Exactly, exactly! We hear your family yelling and cursing at your kids all day long. Aren't you annoyed? We're all fed up with it!"

"Village head, you'd better have a good talk with this old woman Liu now!"

Liu Pozi, who originally thought she was in the right, was now feeling ashamed as everyone was talking at her. She wanted to explain, but when she met the village head's serious eyes, she swallowed the words back.

Seeing that Granny Liu remained silent, the village headman said in a deep voice:

"I'll remember this for now. But if I find you behaving disrespectfully towards your elders and bullying the younger generation again, don't blame me for asking the village elders to expel you from Su Family Village!"

Old Man Su, who had originally wanted to see Granny Liu teach Su Banxia a lesson, dared not remain a coward any longer after hearing the village head's words. He quickly pushed through the crowd and said to the village head with a smile:

“Village head, please don’t be angry. We have remembered everything you said, and this will never happen again. As for my wife, I will talk to her about it.”

As he spoke, Old Man Su pretended to be angry and glared at Granny Liu. Granny Liu was about to scold him, but when she remembered that the village head was still there, she shrank back, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Seeing that Old Man Su had said this, the village head sighed and said:

"The second son's family has had a tough time, and everyone has witnessed their contributions to your Su family. If I may say something inappropriate, you two shouldn't be so biased in the future."

Before Granny Liu could speak, Su Hanzhang, who was standing behind her, quickly stepped forward and waved his hand, saying:

"Thank you for your concern, village head. My parents treat me very well. As the older brother, it's only right that we do more chores around the house. My parents are getting old and can't do much work anymore, so we, who are strong and healthy, should help out as much as we can."

Su Banxia had hoped that the village head would take this opportunity to explain the matter of dividing the family property, but Su Hanzhang's interruption left Su Banxia speechless with anger.

This cheapskate father really has the air of a lackey. Not only does he suffer and be wronged himself, but he also drags his entire second wife's family along to serve the Su family like cattle and horses.

The other family was speaking up for him, but now he's suddenly defending Granny Liu, even though he didn't seem to care much about her when she chased and beat him earlier.

Thinking this through, Su Banxia glared at Su Hanzhang, who was all smiles. It wasn't the right time to bring up the matter of splitting up the family again; she could only take it one step at a time.

Ideally, Granny Liu should be driven out of the second wife's family on her own initiative, and she should also be given back every penny that was due to be given to the second wife.

As Su Banxia was lost in thought, her fifth aunt came over and helped her up, saying with concern in her eyes:

"Look how hungry Banxia is in your Su family. She's eighteen or nineteen, the prime of her life, but you bunch of devils have made her so thin and pale."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She quickly grasped her fifth aunt's hand and sincerely said:

"Fifth Aunt, thank you. If you hadn't come out in time today, I'm afraid my grandma would have beaten me to death."

Fifth Aunt reached out and tucked Su Banxia's messy hair behind her head, patting the back of her hand.

"Banxia, ​​don't be afraid. We live close by. If your grandma bullies you again, just come to my house and find me!"
