Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Sixth sister enjoyed bullying the Little sister. Little sister was not willing to be bullied and had now joined forces with Su Xiaoya to confront the Sixth sister. Su Xiu was dumbfounded. If she hadn’t accidentally overheard it, she wouldn’t have believed it.

However, Su Xiu didn’t intend to reveal it. After all, she and Su Qing used to argue when they were young, but their relationship was still good now that they had grown up.

In the afternoon, Su Xiu assumed that Sister Yulan should have finished dealing with the division of the family’s assets, so she went to her house. However, upon arrival, the door was locked, and she realized that it might be time for fieldwork.

Su Xiu found He Yulan in the fields. She was busy weeding. When He Yulan saw Su Xiu approaching, she was delighted.

Xiu.”

“Sister Yulan. ”

“Please, don’t call me Sister Yulan. Just call me by my name,” When He Yulan heard Su Xiu call her sister-in-law, she felt that something was wrong. She couldn’t let her Big brother hear this, or else he would get angry.

Big brother was so petty that he insisted she called Su Xiu ‘sister-in-law’ immediately. How could he allow Su Xiu to call her sister-in-law?

Wouldn’t that mess up their relationship?

“Why?” Su Xiu asked.

“Um… it’s nothing. I just feel old when you call me sister-in-law,” He Yulan replied.

“Alright then!” Su Xiu agreed obediently.

He Yulan walked to the edge of the field with a hoe and sat on the grass, taking a break. She then asked Su Xiu, “By the way, why haven’t you been going to the fields lately? There’s no one in your family working in the fields. Isn’t that a problem?”

After speaking, He Yulan suddenly realized that the village had been discussing land division recently. She suddenly understood and said, “Oh! I just remembered it’s time for land division. Many people have lost interest in earning work points, not only in your family but in many households recently.”

Everyone was thinking about dividing the land! Those with larger families had secretly discussed it and hoped to get a larger share.

However, He Yulan didn’t mind. After all, the land division followed national policies, and she would receive the portion she was entitled to.

She was determined not to take advantage of the country or exploit any loopholes. She wanted to be a diligent farmer and believed that with hard work and dedication, she could succeed and become prosperous.

“It’s not because of that.” Su Xiu felt a little embarrassed when she mentioned her motive. “Sister Yulan…”

“Stop, call me Yulan.”

“Oh! Yulan, I haven’t been working in the fields and earning work points for a long time, not just recently.”

He Yulan used to work with her every day, so she knew the situation. But wasn’t it because of the previous disagreement with Sun Dahai’s family? Was there something else?

“Why?” He Yulan asked.

Thinking about her Big sister’s money-making idea, Su Xiu smiled shyly. She looked around to make sure nobody nearby could hear, then said, “It’s because my Big sister started selling steamed cakes, and I’ve been helping her. Our family has been too busy with that, so I haven’t been going to the fields.”

Once they started earning money, they didn’t value the meager amount of work points anymore.

Sometimes, Su Xiu worried that she had learned some bad habits and wasn’t as diligent and hardworking as before.

She had reached a point where she didn’t even care about work points.

“What?” He Yulan exclaimed, standing up suddenly.

Su Xiu quickly gestured for her to lower her voice. “Don’t shout. It’s not good if someone overhears.”

“Oh!” He Yulan sat back down, but she still had a bewildered look on her face. She found it hard to believe.. However, she understood now and covered her mouth, asking in a hushed voice, “So it was your family that sold the steamed cakes that were popular in town some time ago?”
