“There’s no need to get involved further. Let’s focus on living our own lives. Why should we continue a.s.sociating with such people? I don’t want to encounter them again in the future.”
Su Wen didn’t want to be entangled in this messy relationship. It couldn’t end well—neither serious nor casual, neither ruthless nor kind.
Perhaps because she wasn’t the original owner, she didn’t have the same depth of understanding as Su Xue. But she genuinely believed that leading a prosperous life and securing a bright future for her sisters would be enough to make those people regret their actions.
“Big sister, you’re right,” Su Xue reflected deeply. “I was too stubborn. I won’t do it again. I’ll study hard and bring glory to our family like Fifth Sister.” Even though Mom and Dad have pa.s.sed away, I’ll make sure everyone knows their names and recognizes that they raised an outstanding daughter.”
“That’s right. Think about it!” Su Wen said happily. “If Fifth Sister becomes a scientist in the future and wins the n.o.bel Prize, our parents’ names will be remembered.”
Though it was a dream, what if it came true?
When Fifth Sister returned for the New Year, she would make this her next small goal.
Her previous small goal was to get into university, lighten the family’s burden, and bring honour to her sisters. Fifth Sister had already achieved it.
Now it was time to set another small goal.
The two continued their conversation in the room, oblivious to the pa.s.sage of time. Su Xiu couldn’t wait any longer and ran up to knock on the door. “Big
Sister, Fourth Sister, what are you talking about? Why are you taking so long?” “Let’s go downstairs now.”
“Oh, by the way, Xu Xiaoxiao came earlier to pick up Second Brother Shen, Big Brother He, Cousin Changfeng, Cao Jun, and the others. He said he wanted to introduce them to a few friends.” When Su Xiu mentioned He Changming being picked up, she seemed relieved.
“It’s good that they were picked up. They were bored here, and we had nothing to talk about. Your brother-in-law isn’t home either. He probably told Cousin Xiaoxiao before he left.” Su Wen commended Hengyang for his thoughtfulness.
“Wait, what about Su Pingping? Su Xue, do you know why Shen Erkui brought Su Pingping here?” Only then did Su Wen realize she had overlooked a living person.
Su Pingping had been shocked by Su Wen’s new home the moment she entered. She felt increasingly inferior and uneasy. Despite Su Xiu’s invitations to sit down, eat, and drink tea several times, Su Pingping still huddled alone in a corner.
With Shen Erkui leaving with Xu Xiaoxiao, Su Pingping had no one to rely on or feel secure with.
At the mention of Su Pingping, even Su Xue, who usually maintained a stoic demeanour, couldn’t help but sigh. When she was in the county town, she had asked Brother Erkui about Su Pingping as soon as she saw her.
How had Brother Erkui found out about Sister Pingping?
So Su Xue recounted everything about Su Pingping from her hometown. Su Xiu and Su Wen were dumbfounded.
“D*mn it!” Su Wen couldn’t help but curse. “Su Xuewu is truly despicable. How could he do such a wicked thing?”
“Exactly,” Su Xiu clenched her small fists, resentment evident in her voice. “Second Uncle won’t have a good ending like this. Just wait! That vixen outside will cause Second Uncle a lot of trouble in the future.”
“Pfft,” Su Wen couldn’t help but laugh. “Su Xiu, you can’t say that in front of Yao Fang.”
“Uh…” Su Xiu was extremely embarra.s.sed. Su Xue glanced at her elder sister speechlessly.
Only she could be like this.
“But I was quite surprised that Second Aunt thought of sending Cousin Pingping here to rely on you, Big Sister. Second Aunt has always been at odds with us. She even stole our vegetables and tried to scheme against our household. I doubt Second Aunt will dare to scheme against our family again in the future.”
Su Xue couldn’t help but mock her auntie.
Su Wen wasn’t surprised. “Second Aunt was very clever!” Although Zhang
Chunxiang might be a bit muddle-headed, she was smarter than many people.
“She was indeed clever. She knew you would be compa.s.sionate.” Su Xue and Su Xiu didn’t even need to ask their elder sister if she wanted to take Su Pingping in. They already knew the answer..
