Chapter 78 Arranges for Su Mo to Marry Wei Kezhi
Wei Kezhi was about to get up to speak with Su Banxia when Su Shiyan pulled him back down to sit, excitedly saying:
"Brother Wei, tell me how you hunted that wild boar. I want to learn from you."
Su Banxia glanced at Wei Kezhi and then at Su Mo's shy expression. For some reason, she felt even more angry. Earlier that afternoon, she had felt guilty for leaving the bamboo house so abruptly.
But as soon as she entered the room, she saw Wei Kezhi and Su Mo sitting together, and she immediately became angry again.
Wang Guihua, who came in from behind, had also overheard the conversation. She looked up and sized up Wei Kezhi, feeling quite satisfied. Wei Kezhi was handsome, tall, and appeared strong, and he also had hunting skills.
This whole wild boar was given away so readily; the person was incredibly generous, hundreds or even thousands of times better than that Su Feng. Thinking this, Wang Guihua pulled Su Hanzhang outside and whispered to him:
"Hanzhang, don't you think Su Mo's friend is quite nice? If our Su Mo could marry him, we wouldn't have to worry about that Su Feng harassing Su Mo anymore."
Su Hanzhang peeked through the open door and nodded, saying:
"Hmm, this child seems steady and has an outstanding appearance, but I don't know if he will be interested in our Su Mo."
Wang Guihua patted Su Hanzhang's arm, pointed to the wild boar lying on the ground, and covered her mouth with a laugh:
"I think you've gone mad. If you didn't like our Su Mo, why would you have sent over a whole wild boar?"
Su Hanzhang nodded as he looked at the wild boar on the ground.
"Yes, what you said makes sense."
Wang Guihua nudged Su Hanzhang and whispered:
"Go in and ask the child about his family situation. Banxia and I will go cook. We must make sure they stay here for a meal. We can't just take this wild boar for nothing."
Su Hanzhang nodded helplessly and went inside. Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly went to the yard and pulled Su Banxia aside, saying:
"Come on, Banxia, Su Mo's friend is here today. He even gave Su Mo such a big wild boar. We have to cook a good meal to entertain him tonight."
Hearing this, Su Banxia's anger flared even more. She felt as if Wei Kezhi, her lackey, was trying to ride roughshod over her. She clenched her fists and muttered to herself:
"Eat him! Eat him to death!"
Wang Guihua turned to Su Banxia, puzzled, and said:
"Ah, Banxia, what did you just say?"
"No, it's nothing. Let's hurry up and cook, I'm starving."
After saying that, he went straight into the kitchen.
Su Banxia first took a kitchen knife and quickly cut the wild boar in half. While everyone was not paying attention, she put several of the better pieces of meat into her spatial storage.
Su Banxia knew the true colors of the Su family all too well. If she didn't hurry up and hide some meat now, the second branch of the family might not get a single scrap of meat when the Su family came back.
Wei Kezhi, on the other hand, was being pulled aside by Su Hanzhang who asked him all sorts of questions. He was a naturally indifferent person and had never bothered to deal with such things, but when he thought that this person was Su Banxia's biological father, he suppressed his displeasure and answered them one by one.
Actually, he didn't want to sit inside drinking water at all; he just wanted to go out and explain things to Su Banxia, and apologize to her properly.
"Uncle Su, I think I should go out and help Banxia deal with the wild boar first. You two can continue your conversation."
Seeing that Wei Kezhi was about to get up, Su Hanzhang quickly grabbed him with one hand.
"Hey, Xiao Wei, don't go. Just sit here and relax. You're a guest here today, so how can I let you do anything? Let them do the work outside themselves. You don't need to worry about it."
"But, Banxia..."
Before Wei Kezhi could finish speaking, Su Hanzhang glared at Su Shiyan.
"What are you still sitting there for? Don't you know you should go out and help your older sister?"
Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan quickly got up and went out to help.
Su Hanzhang smiled and said to Wei Kezhi:
"Xiao Wei, don't worry about it, they've got people taking care of things outside."
Seeing this, Su Mo quickly smiled and poured Wei Kezhi a glass of water.
"Yes, Brother Wei, you must be tired from hunting. Please don't send wild boars to our house anymore. We can't possibly eat such a big one."
Su Hanzhang nodded with a smile.
"I hope we can become a family in the future."
Upon hearing Su Hanzhang's words, Wei Kezhi was overjoyed; the family...
Could she become family with Su Banxia? With that thought in mind, Wei Kezhi took a deep look at Su Banxia, who was busy in the courtyard, and then sat down with a smile.
This was the first time Su Mo had ever seen Wei Kezhi smile, and she was stunned for a moment. She knew Wei Kezhi was handsome, but she never expected him to be so good-looking when he smiled.
Su Mo stared at Wei Kezhi, her face unconsciously turning red.
Su Hanzhang saw all of this, and now the weight on his heart finally lifted. It seemed that his little girl really liked Wei Kezhi, so he no longer had to worry about her marrying that scoundrel Su Feng in the future.
Thinking this, Su Hanzhang smiled.
Before long, Wang Guihua and Su Banxia had prepared dinner, and Su Shiyan had also cleaned the wild boar. Su Banxia then went to salt the pork.
He then stored most of the wild boar in his spatial storage, leaving the rest for later consumption.
After Wang Guihua had placed all the dishes on the table, Su Banxia slowly entered.
As soon as Wei Kezhi saw Su Banxia enter, he was about to get up to speak to her when Su Mo, who was sitting next to him, stopped him.
"Brother Wei, you should try my mother's cooking."
Wei Kezhi looked up and met Wang Guihua's smiling face, so he had no choice but to sit down, pick up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks, and nod perfunctorily:
"Aunt Wang's cooking skills are really good."
Su Banxia glared at Wei Kezhi, then sat down opposite him. Seeing this, Su Mo, fearing that Wei Kezhi would speak to Su Banxia, quickly said:
"Yes, my mother's cooking is delicious. Brother Wei, you should try this pancake she made."
As she spoke, she handed Wei Kezhi a cornbread. Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Su Banxia became even angrier and slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
Seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly smiled apologetically:
"I find Banxia's cooking to be more delicious."
Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua exchanged a glance and said:
"Xiao Wei, when have you ever eaten a meal cooked by Banxia?"
Wei Kezhi glanced awkwardly at Su Banxia, then said:
"I... I've actually known Banxia for a long time. Banxia often cooks for me..."
Su Mo's face stiffened upon hearing this. She had deliberately phrased her words ambiguously, intending for the second branch of the family to believe that Wei Kezhi was after her.
In this way, he could also use this opportunity to make Su Banxia give up on Wei Kezhi. But now, Wei Kezhi has spoken up first, making him look rather awkward.
So Su Mo quickly got up and poured Wei Kezhi a glass of water, smiling as she said:
"Yes, Brother Wei told me about this a long time ago. My sister is a kind-hearted person who likes to cook for others. Brother Wei, you don't need to worry about it."
