“Big Sister, the new mosquito net you bought is ready.” Su Xiu’s voice came from outside. Su Wen quickly wriggled free from Zhou Hengyang’s grasp and ran out. Su Xiu held up a wet mosquito net and was about to hang it on the clothesline.

The white mosquito net was light and would not take long to dry.

“Let me.” Su Wen hurried to help her sister with the mosquito net, shaking off the excess water

“Big Sister, the mosquito net you bought is fantastic! It’s much better than our old mosquito net. Look at how small the holes in the netting are!” Su Xiu exclaimed happily.

“Everyone in the city is using this now. It’s not expensive. If you want, I’ll buy one for you next time.” She had no choice but to buy a mosquito net because it was useless to light mosquito-repelling incense. Tonight, she would not have to fear being bitten by mosquitoes.

“I don’t need it. I don’t get very many mosquitoes in my room. The mosquito-repelling incense you bought is more than enough.” Su Xiu waved her hand dismissively. She could not bare the thought of wasting money. “Eh? Is the mosquito-repelling incense I gave you that effective?”

“It is! It’s so good that we do not need mosquito nets. Haven’t you noticed we put away the mosquito nets a while ago?”

“That’s strange.” Su Wen had thought the mosquitoes in the countryside were more resilient than those in the city; hence the mosquito-repelling incense had proven ineffective. As Su Wen mulled over the issue, Su Xiu leaned in closer, interrupting her thoughts with a mysterious expression.

“Big Sister.”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Su Wen asked Su Xiu.

“Big Sister, are you very angry?” From Su Xiu’s expression, Su Wen could tell she looked perturbed. Su Xiu eyed her older sister nervously, afraid she would show the slightest hint of her unhappiness. If Su Wen were unhappy, Su Xiu Imew she would feel sorry and a little awkward around her.

Su Xiu blamed herself for being unable to help Su Wen educate their Fourth and Fifth Sisters well.

“No! Why should I be angry?” She was not the type to get angry for no reason. Even if she were angry, her anger would almost certainly be directed at someone else. Venting her frustrations privately was good enough; there was no need to create disharmony by venting her frustrations on her siblings. It was not worth the trouble it would bring her.

“Hmm… about that… You know. Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister…”

“Oh.” Su Wen realized what Su Xiu was getting at. “I’m not angry with them.”

“Ah?” Su Xiu felt a new wave of panic wash over her. Su Wen must have given up on Su Xue and Fifth Sister! Why else wouldn’t she be angry with them? The only explanation Su Xiu could come up with was that Su Wen no longer cared for them; hence, she could not be bothered to be angry with them.

Su Xiu was deeply troubled by this revelation. Second Sister had already taught

Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister a lesson; she did not need to intervene since Second Sister knew where to draw the line. Second Sister’s anger was completely justified – she was angry because she cared and wanted what was best for them. Second Sister had been going on about their Fourth and Fifth Sisters’ ill manners these past few nights, so Su Xiu was keenly aware of the tensions in the family.

Her Second Sister’s main gripe was that their Fourth and Fifth Sisters had been hiding in school, refusing to come home.

If Su Xiu was worried before that Su Wen would be angry, she was now deeply troubled by the lack of anger her older sister displayed.

“Big Sister, it’s okay. I know you must be angry! We’re all on your side; Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister were in the wrong. It would be best if you punished them accordingly. It isn’t good to dwell on things or keep them locked in your heart it isn’t good for your health,” Su Xiu said.

“No, it’s not… What do you mean?” Su Xiu’s uncharacteristic display amused Su

Wen. “I’m serious. I’m not angry.”

“Is that because you don’t care about them anymore?” Su Xiu prodded.

Su Wen was stunned, and the smile on her face slowly froze. When she met Su Xiu’s worried gaze, she could not help but ask herself, would she feel the same if it had been Su Xiu or Su Qing who had refused to return?

No. Certainly not.

She would have marched to school, even if it were a Sunday, and given the two an earful before dragging them back home for a meal..
