It was a pity that the clever ones in the novel were too young to effect change while the honest ones were too easily tricked by the original and Zhao Jiangang. Each tragedy was more horrific than the last. Su Xue was forced to marry a man in his fifties, which was, by far, the least traumatic ending.

Su Qing, Su Xiu, Fifth Sister, and Sixth Sister all died in the springtime of their youth.

Meanwhile, Little Sister Su was sold, her life after that remaining a mystery as the novel did not mention her again.

“Right!” When Su Wen thought of her younger sisters’ endings, she could not help but think of Su Xuefang and Shi Caiyue. “Tomorrow is Sunday. I think

Auntie will be coming over. After dinner, hide everything that can be hidden. Don’t leave anything valuable where she might see it. That means things like the bicycle need to be stowed away.”

Su Xiu grew even more nervous when Su Wen informed her that Su Xuefang would visit the next day. “I Imow. Don’t worry, Big Sister. I’ll pack up everything that needs to be hidden.” After saying that, she immediately got to work.

Su Wen checked on Su Xue and Fifth Sister and discovered they were still in the courtyard reading. She thought about how to proceed but decided against saying anything for now.

She would leave Su Qing to deal with her two younger sisters. Since it was the first time Su Qing had taken the initiative to reprimand them, Su Wen felt it was only appropriate to leave Su Qing to it. By not intervening, she was showing her support for Su Qing.

He Yulan appeared shortly before dinner with her mother-in-law and Xu Xiangdong. As a small token of their appreciation, they gifted 1200 grams of pork belly to Su Wen and her siblings. Su Xiu accepted the gift and was told to put away the pork belly.

They were too polite!

“Aunt Xu, why’d you bring us this?” Su Wen hastily declined and asked Su Xiu to return the pork belly.

“Little Wen, please accept it. I haven’t even thanked you for finding such a good business opportunity for my daughter-in -law! What is this?”

He Yulan’s mother-in-law refused to take back her gift, no matter what Su Wen said. She even instructed He Yulan and Xu Xiangdong to do the same. In the end, Su Wen had no choice but to have Su Xiu keep the pork belly.

“Aunt Xu, you’ve helped me so much.” Su Wen invited them to sit and said politely, “Besides, I’m not exactly taking care of Sister Yulan, per se. We’re working together; it’s a partnership.”

“What? What do you mean?” He Yulan’s mother-in-law thought she had heard wrongly and could not understand what Su Wen was saying.

Xu Xiangdong quickly interjected, “What Su Wen means is that everyone benefits from this partnership.”

“I see,” He Yulan’s mother-in-law sighed. “You youngsters know what you’re doing; that’s enough. I’m not as young as I used to be.”

“Mother, don’t say that! You’re still young!” He Yulan cried. Her relationship with her mother-in-law had improved recently after her brother would not stop nagging at her to be more respectful and complain less about her.

Hoping to get in her mother-in-law’s good books, she told the old woman about her new business venture with Su Xiu and that they were selling steamed cakes. Just earlier that day, she and Su Xiu had sold over a hundred steamed cakes in town!

When she returned, she counted all her earnings where the family could see. Everyone was so impressed that they smiled from ear to ear. Even her mother-in-law saw her in a new light, expressing her joy and satisfaction. One should never take for granted the kindness shown unto oneself by others.

Many people lived in the village, yet Su Wen had asked Su Xiu to partner with He Yulan to sell steamed cakes. This consideration was already a form of kindness.

“Little Wen, thank you for thinking about our Yulan.” He Yulan’s mother-in-law clasped Su Wen’s hands in her own and added, “Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you. If anyone comes to you looking for trouble, just send them my way. I’ll deal with it.”

Su Wen smiled slyly. “Alright then. If anyone comes looking for me, I’ll tell them they should look for you instead if they want a piece of the pie..”
