Chen Qiuxia was being pulled by a man named Liu Tianyang. She seemed very angry, speaking louder and louder, and trying to break free from his grasp.

Su Nanxi's lips twitched. Had she stumbled upon someone on a date?

She didn't recognize this Liu Tianyang. It was dark under the banana tree, so she couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his voice, he didn't seem very old.

Liu Tianyang seemed to be in a good mood, his voice filled with joy, and he said in a slightly lazy tone, "Isn't it easier to talk here, since it's just the two of us?"

Chen Qiuxia was reluctant and somewhat resistant. "It's too dark here. I don't want to talk to you here. Let's go outside to a bright place. It's getting late. Let's go back after we finish talking so no one can see us."

Liu Tianyang didn't care. "I think it's fine here. A few beams of light shine down in the darkness. How beautiful! Why are you in such a hurry to go back? We're getting engaged tomorrow. What do you have to worry about what others will say?"

Chen Qiuxia was probably scared and kept struggling, which annoyed Liu Tianyang. "I just held your hand, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? You're my wife now, what's wrong with me holding your hand? You said your family wanted twenty taels of silver as a bride price, and I agreed. You just said you wanted to add two more taels, and I agreed to that too. How come I can't even touch you after spending so much money!"

Chen Qiuxia's voice trembled with fear, but she still forced herself to stay strong, saying, "You only agreed, you haven't given it to me yet! I'm not your wife yet, show some respect!"

These words seemed to enlighten Liu Tianyang. He said "Oh," and actually let go of Chen Qiuxia, smiling as he said, "Then I know what to do!"

After letting go, Chen Qiuxia ran away as if fleeing, tripping and falling twice in the darkness.

Liu Tianyang laughed even harder, seemingly finding it amusing. He lingered for a while before leaving.

After everyone had left, Su Nanxi emerged from the darkness.

Worried that others might come later, she quickly cut down some ripe bananas and ran back.

There were no banana trees in her space, but she discovered a small patch of banana trees here during the day, some of the bananas already yellow and ripe. She didn't know if no one had noticed or what, but no one had picked them.

She hadn't eaten bananas in a long time, and when she saw one, she wanted to pick it, but she didn't dare to pick it during the day, so she could only do it at night.

She returned to the courtyard. Mo Qinghe looked around warily, but finding nothing amiss, he pulled her close, squeezed her hand tightly, and said gently, "Don't do that again, okay? I was so worried!"

Su Nanxi readily agreed and broke off a banana for him.

Mo Qinghe took it and flicked her nose with his finger. "You!"

Su Nanxi chuckled.

The two lay on deck chairs, eating bananas and admiring the spectacular night sky—it couldn't have been more pleasant!

She mentioned the incident in the banana tree to Mo Qinghe, but Mo Qinghe didn't care about other people's business; instead, she was worried that she might get into trouble if someone found out.

"It's not a glorious thing after all. They got angry and started blaming you, and you got yourself into trouble for nothing! Next time you encounter this, just run away, understand?"

Su Nanxi thought that made sense and nodded emphatically in agreement. Who has such a peculiar habit of watching others being all lovey-dovey?

The Mo family's new stove is finally online and in use, and I must say, it works really well!

With two more stoves and two more large pots, the speed increased by more than just a little bit! It was incredibly fast!

Everyone felt much more relaxed, so they simply moved everything out to the yard to work. With the sky high and the ground wide open, they felt comfortable and at ease!

Su Nanxi cooked eggs and made soy milk as usual, and also made pancakes from the soybean pulp, which was quite a feast.

Mo Jiaxing ate the egg and soy milk, then ate the soybean pulp pancakes as he went to school.

He carried the schoolbag that Qin had made based on the drawing Su Nanxi made on the ground, wore the newly made shoes, said goodbye to his family, and went out.

Suddenly, these kinds of schoolbags became popular in the Mo family. They were thought to be both attractive and practical, and soon everyone had one. Of course, Mo Yunmei was an exception.

It wasn't that Mo Yunmei didn't want it; on the contrary, she really wanted it, but no one would make it for her. Everyone she asked said they were too busy and told her to make it herself. She couldn't even hold a needle properly, let alone sew.

Grandma Mo stopped indulging her and said bluntly, "If you don't know, then learn! You say you're of marriageable age and you don't even know basic needlework. Do you expect someone else to sew your husband's clothes for you in the future?"

These words still failed to wake Mo Yunmei up. She firmly believed that she would marry into a wealthy family and wouldn't need to lift a finger.

Mo Yunmei's mind was online for a day and then offline again. She ate very well yesterday, which made her forget her current situation and think that she had returned to the way things were before. She didn't get up until everyone else had left.

Grandma Mo would call her two or three times every morning, but Mo Yunmei covered her ears and had developed the ability to block out sound, so she didn't hear it and continued to sleep.

When she woke up that day, she found the house empty, not even her third brother was home!

I was stunned for a while, and after I came to my senses, I looked around for something to eat, but unsurprisingly, there was nothing.

Su Nanxi deliberately didn't let anyone leave any food, making the children eat it all, and if they couldn't finish it, they could take it to eat on the way.

Mo Qinghe went along today too. He wanted to go out and see the world. Su Nanxi thought it was a good idea. Staying cooped up at home all the time wasn't good; people should go out and explore more.

The children were overjoyed, vying to push the wheelchair and surrounding Mo Qinghe to tell him about the interesting things that had happened on their trip.

Su Nanxi suddenly felt like she had become a supporting character and had been pushed to the side.

Sigh! I still don't have enough charm!

The spotlight was stolen so easily!

"Honey, I want to eat grilled fish too."

Su Nanxi was pretending to be sad and lost in her own thoughts when suddenly she heard the pitiful voice from beside her.

Seeing the group of dolls looking at her excitedly, she knew that it must have been the dolls who betrayed her.

Sigh! What else can we do?

If her cheap husband says he wants it, how can she refuse?

Look at that pitiful look, those mournful little eyes!

Wow! I can't refuse!

Let's skip the grilled fish; we just had fish yesterday. Let's try something different: beggar's chicken!

Mo Qinghe was dumbfounded. Is beggar's chicken the kind of chicken that beggars eat?

Su Nanxi told him, "No! There's no use in saying more; we'll find out when the time comes!"

Everyone was excited and eager to get started.

If you want to eat good food with Su Nanxi, you have to do it yourself. She doesn't tolerate anyone doing things her way. After all, if you learn to cook with her, it will be your skill, and you won't have to worry about starving in the future.

When the children saw Su Nanxi setting a trap, they knew she wanted to trap wild animals, so they all ran to follow suit.

"Wife, what should I do?" He didn't know what to do!

You can just sit there and act as the catalyst!

Well!

Mo Qinghe felt that his wife was teasing him!

After Su Nanxi finished, she pushed him aside to wait. A little while later, the children also ran over. They habitually picked up their baskets and went to dig for wild vegetables and pick mushrooms.

Mo Dongcheng kindly told Mo Qinghe, "Third Uncle, it'll be ready in a little while. Let's dig for wild vegetables first."

Knowing the way well, he quickly dug up half a basket of wild vegetables.

Seeing that Su Nanxi had stopped digging, they all stopped and ran over.

"Wow! Quick, catch them!"
