Chapter 706: Didn ‘t Manage to Get Her Photography
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhou Yan couldn’t bring herself to tell her eldest nephew. She turned to glare at the culprit, muttering to herself, “You handle it.” It was infuriating; she felt she had suffered a loss after secretly washing the bed sheets for so many years!
Unfortunately, it was too late. If she had known it was her eldest nephew washing the sheets for Su Wen, she wouldn’t have bothered all these years.
Xu Pei touched his nose awkwardly. He wanted to clarify that Xiao Zhou’s bed-sheet-washing routine was just merely placing them in a basin with water and washing powder. Whether he washed them properly or not was uncertain.
Zhou Yan went looking for Su Wen, and the two men exchanged a strange, tacit understanding.
Zhou Yan stood in front of Su Wen’s room and knocked on the door. Su Wen opened the door, and Zhou Yan entered, finding her sixth and younger sisters assisting Su Wen with packing.
Unlike typical children, the younger sisters didn’t like to sleep in. Today, they were up earlier than usual, preparing gifts for Xiao Ya.
“Big Sister, bring this toy back for Xiao Ya.”
“And mine. This box of candies is also for Xiao Ya. She hasn’t tried soft candies yet!”
The sixth and little sisters had prepared gifts for Xiao Ya, eagerly waiting for Su Wen to come so they could ask her to give them to her.
“Xiao Ya is no longer in the village,” Su Wen said, sitting on the bed and nodding at Zhou Yan. “Her mother took her to the capital. You’ll only see her when you get into a university there.”
“Impossible! Big sister, you’re lying to me. I don’t believe it!” The little girl threw her doll on the ground and shouted hysterically. “Xiao Ya had been sold by her stepmother. I won’t be able to see her again, just like Xiao Hua.” Tears welled up, and she cried, “Now Xiao Ya is gone too. Wuwuwu…”
Zhou Yan exchanged glances with Su Wen, feeling that she had come at the wrong time. This was the knot in her little sister’s heart. To her, the one being sold wasn’t Xiao Ya, but herself. She had always feared becoming like Xiao Hua, and Xiao Ya was her friend as they shared the same fear.
Thankfully, Su Wen had prepared for this. She went to the capital to look for Xiao Ya and found her doing well. Unfortunately, she lost her photo, but she did manage to retrieve the letter Xiao Ya had written to her little sister.
“Here is the letter Xiao Ya wrote to you. If you don’t believe me, read it yourself,” Su Wen handed the letter to her. “Xiao Ya’s address is written on it too. If you have anything to say to her, write to her. Send her whatever gift you want.”
The little sister, tears in her eyes, was in a daze. “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? When have I ever lied to you?”
“Okay!” The younger sister felt a little guilty for her outburst earlier. She regretted it and didn’t even dare to look at Su Wen.
“Alright, go wash your face and brush your teeth. You still have to go to school after breakfast!” Su Wen ruffled her little sister’s hair and said to her sixth sister, “Take your sister away and comfort her.”
“Alright, big sister, you can rest assured. Leave little sister to me. I promise I’ll comfort her very well.” The sixth sister gave a cute smile, which, although intended to be comforting, left the younger sister shivering in fear..
