She had a history of misbehaviour from her youth. She used to steal chickens and dogs, and sneak into fields to pilfer corn, sweet potatoes, watermelons, and rice—nothing was off-limits! As long as it was free, she’d take it.
It was only after Su Xuewu became an accountant that she stopped, fearing it might jeopardize his job. But now, with him out of work and without a stable income, she felt emboldened to resume her daring acts.
“Tonight, let’s go to that br*t’s vegetable garden and steal some vegetables.”
After lunch, Su Wen sought out her younger sister, Fifth Sister, to discuss their plans for the Capital.
“Fifth Sister, don’t confine yourself to your room all the time. You should go out, take a stroll, and interact with your classmates occasionally,” Su Wen advised, concerned that Fifth Sister might turn into a nerd. Young girls should be more lively.
“There’s nothing fun out there,” Fifth Sister replied, closing her book. “Big sister, I don’t need you to escort me. I can manage to go to school by myself.”
“I’m just worried. When are you planning to leave? School is about to start, so it’s best to get there early and acquaint yourself with the campus surroundings,” Su Wen inquired, turning her attention to Su Xue. “What about you, Fourth Sister? When do you need to report to school?”
Su Xue had been accepted into the best high school in Clear Water County.
“Cao Jun told me to meet in the county town on August 31st,” Su Xue informed confidently. She was well-prepared, having visited the school a few times over the summer and spent time with her high school friends.
“Cao Jun!” Su Wen pondered for a moment before recalling who he was.
“Big sister, you know him?”
“Yes! I think I saw him when I visited your school before. He’s a decent young man. By the way, there was also a boy named Sheng Nian. Did he get accepted into the county high school?”
“Sheng Nian went back to the provincial capital for further studies. He won’t be joining us. ”
“That’s quite unfortunate.” Su Wen remembered that Sheng Nian seemed interested in Fifth Sister. It would be unfortunate if they were separated.
“Big sister, you think Cao Jun is good?” Fifth Sister made a disgusted face, a rare expression for her. “Big sister, you don’t know that Cao Jun is not a diligent student. He’s so mischievous that even the teachers can’t handle him.”
Fifth Sister was an introverted and studious student. She disliked troublemakers like Cao Jun.
Su Xue, who was not easily deterred, retorted, “Fifth Sister, Cao Jun got accepted into the county high school too.”
She meant to say that Cao Jun had changed his ways and was no longer a troublemaker. However, Fifth Sister was surprised. “Being accepted into a county high school doesn’t make you a good student, do you know that?” Su Xue was left speechless.
Even though she had been accepted into the county high school, she was still looked down upon.
“Hahaha…” Su Wen laughed mockingly and winked at Su Xue. “You’re not a model student in Fifth Sister’s eyes. You must be a bit slow!”
“Big sister, let’s go. We poor students shouldn’t disturb her.” Su Xue feigned anger, linking arms with Su Wen and walking away confidently.
Fifth Sister followed, puzzled about what to do. She happened to meet Su Xiu. “Third Sister, did I say something wrong?”
Since Su Xue’s room door was open, Su Xiu, standing under the eaves, overheard their conversation. She suppressed her laughter. When she heard Fifth Sister’s question, she shook her head hastily. “No, you were absolutely right.”
“Then why is Fourth Sister upset?” Fifth Sister didn’t want to upset her. “Xiaoxue is just joking with you. She’s not angry.”
“Ok!” Fifth Sister patted her chest in relief. “Thank goodness. I don’t want to upset her. I’ll go back to my room and continue reading.”
“Sure.”
In the afternoon, the heavy rain transformed into a drizzle. With nothing else to do, Su Wen went to Sister Chrysanthemum’s small shop with an umbrella and bought two sets of game cards. She intended to teach her sisters how to play the Fight the Landlord game. It was easy to learn, and they quickly picked up the game..
