Su Qing added, “She’ll be bullied. Little Sister Su isn’t academically inclined and is far inferior to Sixth Sister in that department. She certainly won’t be willing to attend school with her.”
Su Wen groaned but eventually said, “Alright.” She knew siblings often quarreled, especially when they were young, but she did not expect the situation to be so serious.
“I’ll go and see how she is,” Su Wen said, climbing to her feet.
“No, don’t.” Su Qing tugged on her eldest sister’s arm, stopping her. “The more you try to reason with her, the more she’ll feel wronged. Things will go back to normal come morning.”
“Will it?” Su Wen countered apprehensively.
“It will.’
“Fine. I’ll take your advice.”
Su Wen put the matter regarding Little Sister Su and Sixth Sister aside. There were still things she needed to discuss. “Su Xiu, go and find He Yulan tomorrow. I’ll leave the details up to you. Feel free to ask me if you have anything you don’t understand. Be as frank as you need to be and discuss the matters openly from the beginning. You must settle the score with those brothers and make your stance clear. There’s no need to feel embarrassed.”
“I understand, Big Sister.” Su Xiu nodded seriously.
“Good!”
Su Qing had been listening for a long time but had not received instructions for her new task. “Big Sister, what about me?” she asked anxiously. “I don’t want to continue apprenticing under my master.” Su Qing had already learned everything she could.
The rest were secret techniques her master had no intention of teaching her, so there was no point in her staying under his tutelage. In the past, Su Qing aimed to become a tailor to make clothes and earn money. However, after her eldest sister taught her how to do business, her horizons expanded.
‘I don’t want to study under Master anymore!’ she thought.
“You’ll be working with me. We’ll be making bags together.” Su Wen’s eyes lit up. “Your sewing skills are exactly what I need. How about we work together?”
“What do you mean I should work together with you? Big Sister, I’ll work for you! That’s more than enough for me.” Su Qing hastily waved away her sister’s suggestion. “Besides, I didn’t pay for the raw materials or develop the products. I’m still learning the ropes from you, Big Sister.”
Su Wen liked Su Qing’s pragmatic nature but would never take advantage of her. She would still give her sister what was due when the time came. Even sisters had to know how to differentiate a business from family affairs.
“Alright then. We’ll take things step-by-step. We’ll see how things develop and reevaluate the situation after the New Year. What do you think?”
There were still six months before the New Year. By then, they would have a storefront, and their holdings would be clearer and easier to allocate.
“Let’s go with that.”
“I have no objections either.”
Since neither of them had any objections, the motion passed smoothly.
“There’s one more thing,” Su Wen said with pinched brows. “I don’t think Sixth Sister should continue looking after our aunt’s child. Su Qing, I’d like you to fetch Sixth Sister home tomorrow.” When she first transmigrated, Su Wen did not know the exact situation and could not act impulsively.
Now that the situation was clear, Su Wen could not allow Slxth Sister to continue to be used by her aunt’s family. Sixth Sister was still a child herself. Why should she be a child laborer?
“That’s great.” Su Xiu was so happy that she almost cried. “Big Sister, if Sixth Sister knew about this, she would be so happy.”
“It’s settled then.” It was obvious that Sixth Sister’s life in her aunt’s house was not good.
Little Sister Su and Sixth Sister shared the same room. After she dashed out of Su Wen’s room, she hid and dried her bitter tears. Little Sister Su feared Su Wen would hate her because she had lost her temper.
At the same time, Little Sister Su felt Sixth Sister was truly detestable.
She had bullied her since they were young, even poisoning her eldest sister against her! If her eldest sister favored Sixth Sister again, she would return to a miserable life of being bullied!
