Chapter 166: Big Red Flower

“Don’t worry,” Su Xueqiang said gloomily. “Second Brother’s family has taken advantage of Matchmaker Zhao; she won’t let the matter rest. I doubt Second Sister-in-law will be willing to cough out the benefits she’s gained. At most, it might be a while more, but once the storm passes, events will proceed as they should. ”

...

Su Xueqiang knew how greedy Zhang Chunxiang was. She would not let go of any benefits she had gained.

When Chen Guihua heard that Zhang Chunxiang had received benefits, she slapped her thigh and howled in fury. In her eyes, those benefits could belong to no one but her. How could she stomach Zhang Chunxiang gaining what was rightfully hers? It was unacceptable!

Chen Guihua could not take this lying down and began scheming ways to snatch those benefits.

The delivery service of the county shopping mall was so good that Su Wen was left dumbfounded. Not only did they deliver the goods to her door, but they also pinned a big red flower on the outer packaging of the sewing machine. Their high-profile delivery entered via the village entrance, attracting the villagers’ attention.

The red flower almost blinded Su Wen.

Why would they package the sewing machine up so nicely? It went beyond her expectations.

Su Wen had wanted to keep a low profile and quietly amass a fortune. She would not go so far as to keep a secret, but she certainly had not been about to parade her improved situation. Now that the county mall delivered her sewing machine in such a manner, there was no way she could keep things quiet.

Once the deliveryman unloaded the sewing machine, he left. But the same could not be said for her nosy neighbors crowding her courtyard. It was headache-inducing for Su Wen.

She directed Su Xiu and Su Qing outside and bade them to receive the delivery while she hid.

How she would proceed would depend on the situation.

“Is that a sewing machine? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw the delivery van pass through the village entrance. “How could anyone mistake it for what it is? Are you blind?” “You’re blind.” “Stop arguing and open the box. All of us want to take a look.”

“That’s right!”

“Where’s Su Wen? Su Qing, where is your older sister? Quickly, call her! I want to ask her to lend it to me.”

“Me too. Sewing an apron by hand isn’t as good as using a sewing machine.”

“Hey! I need it to make clothes. Don’t you know how much you can save? If I had a sewing machine, I could make clothes for myself, and the extra money could buy meats or be turned into red packets for the New Year.”

The enthusiastic crowd started talking about how they would borrow the sewing machine from Su Wen to make clothes for themselves, each coming up with more reasons than the last. With so many people eyeing the sewing machine, their enthusiasm almost caused them to come to blows.

In the end, someone had to step forward and mediate the situation—eventually, a tentative waiting list formed for the use of the sewing machine. However, Su Wen and her family did not get a spot.

Su Qing and Su Xiu’s faces turned green.

Their family had spent money to buy the sewing machine, yet all their neighbors wanted to use it even before they could. They sure were thick-skinned.

Before Su Qing could stop the clamoring crowd, someone managed to open the box. When everyone saw it was a Plum Blossom sewing machine, they stared at it in disbelief. Overawed, they began touching its frame, thinking about all the marvelous things they would do with it.

“Clothes will always need to be sewn and mended. With a sewing machine, you’ll finish in no time!”

He Yulan was one of those in the crowd. “Su Xiu, your sister sure is a spendthrift,” He Yulan whispered into Su Xiu’s ear, “She’s even willing to buy something as expensive as a Pum Blossom sewing machine. When I got married, Big Brother wanted to give me a sewing machine as a dowry, but I didn’t agree.”

“Why’s that?” Su Xiu asked in confusion.

“Think about it! I have three sisters-in-law, but none of them have dowries. If I’m the only one with a sewing machine, getting along with them will be difficult. Moreover, the sewing machine won’t be mine once I marry.”

He Yulan sneered. “My first and second sisters-in-law are not easy to deal with.” He Yulan’s husband was the third oldest in the family. Hence, He Yulan’s two sisters-in-law always tried to take advantage of her because they married into the family first..
