Su Qing knew that her aunt would say this. Before she came, her eldest sister had already explained it to her. Now that she heard it, she did not panic and said unhurriedly, “Thank you, Auntie, but Big Sister asked me to come today, so I had no choice. Look, if you want to keep Sixth Sister, you have to tell her.”

Sixth Sister Su was initially anxious. She was afraid that Second Sister would be easily deceived by their aunt. Sixth Sister Su was also afraid that Big Sister would be fooled by her aunt. She did not expect her second sister’s reaction to be different from what she had expected. She could not help but widen her eyes and look at Su Qing in shock.

Su Qing gently patted Sixth Sister Su’s soft hair and comforted her without batting an eyelid.

Su Xuefang initially thought she could persuade Su Qing, but Su Qing did not know what was good for her. Her expression immediately changed. “Su Qing, what do you mean? Using your big sister to suppress me? Let me tell you, your big sister must listen to me too. I was doing this for your family’s good. Who knew that you were so heartless and ungrateful?”

Su Qing smiled honestly and said calmly, “Auntie, I know you’re doing this for our family’s good, but no matter how poor we are, we can’t take advantage of you! Even if you don’t care, we still have to be careful. After all, you’re already married.”

What Su Qing meant was that Su Xuefang was already married, so she couldn’t care less about her family.

Su Xuefang almost choked on her words, but she didn’t want Sixth Sister Su to leave just like that. Their family had been extremely busy lately, and she had just learned how to play mahjong. If Sixth Sister Su went back home, who would help with all the work?

She did not want to do it.

On second thought, Su Xuefang still had to coax Su Qing to work in the southern city. She couldn’t fall out with Su Qing now, so she immediately put on a friendly smile and held Su Qing’s hand warmly. “You’re being too distant with me. Alright, let’s not talk about anything else. Stay for lunch at my place today. I have something good to tell you.”

Su Qing had no choice but to stay. She had dried sweet potatoes and salted vegetables for lunch. The family had long stopped eating, but Su Xuefang still acted as if she were welcoming guests warmly.

Su Qing secretly observed Su Xuefang and felt her heart turn cold.

Other than taking advantage of her family, such an aunt would not even entertain her niece. How could she be good to her sixth sister? Would she be as considerate of her family as she said?

Why didn’t she notice it before?

“Su Qing! What do you think about what I told you? It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t have this opportunity anymore.”

Sixth Sister Su secretly kicked Su Qing, afraid that her second sister would agree impulsively, but her aunt was watching her, so she could not directly remind her second sister.

Their family was poor and had no money, but they could not let Second Sister go to such a far place. Shi Caiyue was not a good person. She could not let her second sister go.

“Thank you, Auntie. But I refuse.” If it were in the past, Su Qing might have agreed. In order for her sister to have enough money to go to school and not be illiterate when she grew up, she would try her best to earn money to support her family. But now, his eldest sister was capable and could provide for his four younger sisters to go to school.

She was still waiting to make bags with her sister and earn a lot of money! How could he bear to go to a foreign land?

“I’m doing this for your good. If you go, you can earn a lot of money. When you earn money, you can also let Sixth Sister and Little Sister study.” Su Xuefang coaxed and lied. “What good does learning to tailor do for you? Is anyone hiring you to make clothes? Even if you make a piece of clothing, how much can you earn? Trust me. I have your best interests at heart. Don’t be stubborn!”

“Auntie, I don’t want to go..”
