Chapter 324: Writing a Story for Her Sister

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

“Tell me more, Big Sister.”

“I will.”

Su Wen stifled a yawn and began extolling the traits of various scumbags. She stopped when she was so sleepy that she could not keep her eyes open.

“Alright, bedtime! We still have to get up early tomorrow. Su Xue and Fifth Sister, I think it’s time to put away your books. It’s not bright enough to read without straining your eyes; you don’t want to become short-sighted, do you?” Su Wen chased her sisters back to their rooms to sleep.

Su Wen’s words had opened the eyes of her younger sisters. None of them wanted to go to bed just yet.

Su Wen snapped her fan shut. “I’ve decided. I’ll write a book! It’ll be a guide teaching one how to identify scumbags.” Truly, her genius knew no bounds! She could earn plenty if she began work the next day. Not only could she teach her sisters how to avoid scumbags, but she would also earn money when she eventually published her work.

As a working woman from the 21st century and having read countless web novels, writing a measly guide on prominent traits identifying scumbags would be a piece of cake.

After all, hadn’t she written something similar for her college entrance exams?

Su Wen started work on the manuscript the next day, as she said she would. It did not need to be fancy or use flashy words. She just needed to employ her usual spicy, straightforward style of writing.

Once she set pen to paper, the words streamed out of her in a torrent; she could not stop writing.

Su Wen had lots to say about scumbags. Her opening chapter first introduced what they were and how one might define them. Then, she listed over 100 adjectives to describe scumbags, and finally, she listed several examples.

The book was mainly for her younger sisters to read. Her innocent younger sisters were vulnerable, so she needed to prepare them as best she could, even if the words she used to describe scumbags, in general, were on the upper end of vicious. Descriptors like ‘drink more water’ and ‘let me come in’ were catchphrases often used to trick young girls. Scumbags might appear straightforward, but they were anything but. They used humor, sarcasm, and a mixture of poise and affectation to ensnare their unsuspecting victims.

Their actions would sometimes elicit gnashed teeth from the conscious observers and, at others, an inescapable urge to laugh.

The more she wrote, the more Su Wen felt she had unlocked her hidden potential as a writer.

Little Sister Su and Sixth Sister were not practicing their sums. Instead, they both tried currying favor with Su Wen by pouring her tea and massaging her aching shoulders. Although they had not gone to school yet, they had learned a thing or two from Su Xuewen while he was still alive. Their father had always been a strong proponent of education.

After Su Xuewen passed away, Su Qing and Su Xiu took turns teaching Little Sister Su and Sixth Sister. Hence, they could recognize most of the words Su Wen had written. Those they did not know were quickly researched in the dictionary that lay open nearby.

Little Sister Su was still a child and loved to fool around. By noon, she could not stand it any longer and went to look for Su Xiaoya, a basket of delicious food in hand. Meanwhile, Sixth Sister remained by Su Wen’s side, not feeling bored. She was happy following Su Wen around, reading as much as possible.

Su Wen was worried that her Sixth Sister might grow up wily like a fox.

Ah! Having many sisters was a constant source of worry.

Monday saw the start of the exams. The school had arranged the venue to host the examinations.

Su Xue and Fifth Sister ate their fill before the exams. They carried Su Wen and Su Qing’s newly made school bags to school. Their backpacks were of a style never seen before. They were exquisitely crafted but not over the top.

The bags did not strain their shoulders, weighing next to nothing. They were much lighter and more comfortable than their previous sling bags.

Su Xue and Fifth Sister loved their bags so much they could not bear the thought of using them. Su Wen had to persuade them to use their bags, pointing out how their Second Sister had made them using fox fur. It gave their bags an air of sophistication, bringing out an inner liveliness.

The bags took their breath away, filling them with regret for their actions.

Su Xue had been depressed for the past two days. She was stubborn and strong-willed; she would rather break than bend. Hence, people often found her unapproachable. Her relationship with Su Wen was the worst of all her sisters..
