...

Su Wen saw that there wasn’t enough time, so she hurriedly went to buy the things she needed. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to buy everything she wanted. As tickets were not required, the flour and oil were slightly more expensive than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.

Granulated sugar was actually cheaper. Red sugar was popular in the countryside these days. It was used to nourish the body during confinement, so many relatives gifted red sugar.

There were relatively few people who bought granulated sugar, and Su Wen bought white sugar, which was much cheaper.

The stall selling fish still had a few carps left before Su Wen left, so she bought them.

They were all wild and, before transmigrating, she couldn’t have purchased them even if she had wanted to.

There was always a pungent smell of engine oil when farm-bred carp was brewed in soup.

She had spent a total of 8 yuan and 20 cents on the trip that afternoon. The basket was so heavy that she almost couldn’t carry it. When she got home, her feet, legs, and arms ached. She didn’t dare to go in directly when she was at the entrance. She was carrying so many things; if someone saw her, it would attract gossip.

All she wanted to do now was to secretly earn money and live her life.

Fine flour and sugar were all valuable items. Second and Third aunts would snatch them directly. Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang were even more difficult to deal with.

They were children, so she couldn’t say anything.

Su Wen didn’t dare to take the main road to enter the village, and she went around the acacia forest behind the village, trying to enter the village as quietly as possible.

Walking out of the acacia forest, there was an open threshing ground not far away, and by the side was a straw pile stored in the brigade. They were like small hills. Su Wen was halfway there when she heard ambiguous sounds coming from the haystacks.

As a veteran of modern society, Su Wen had read a lot of romance novels, so she could tell at once.

They were too bold, the sky hadn’t even turned dark! They dared to do it in the open.

Just how intense was this!

Afraid of viewing something indecent, Su Wen was about to speed up when she heard the man who was exercising intensely say, “If you are with me, I’ll take you to live in a big house.”

Huh? Why did that voice sound so much like her third uncle’s?

“You’re just coaxing me. Where are you getting a big house from?”

“You’ll know when the time comes.”

Su Wen sneered. The big house her third uncle was talking about couldn’t be hers, right? It seemed that the original character and her sisters were really surrounded by snakes, and none of their relatives were good.

However, coming across this today served as a reminder.

Su Wen couldn’t make out the woman’s voice. It had only been half a month since she had transmigrated, so she could not recognize most of the people in the village. She had wanted to continue listening, but the words that came after were really hard to hear. She was also afraid of being discovered, so she left quickly.

When she reached home, she realized that there was no one there. Her little sister wasn’t around either. Logically speaking, her little sister should be at home feeding the chickens at this time.

Su Qing should also have returned from the tailor’s.

Su Wen was worried. She put down her things, locked the door, and went out to look for them.

*****

At this time, other than the laborers who were working in the fields to earn work points, almost a third of the people in the village had gathered near Su Xuewu’s house.

Su Qing was there as well.

She had heard from the tailor that her big sister had quarreled with someone again and had been worried. In the afternoon, when the sun had just set, she bade farewell to her master and set off for home.

She was afraid that her big sister would suffer.

However, when she returned to the village, she didn’t hear any negative words about her sister. Instead, many people were discussing Su Pingfan.

Su Qing was dumbfounded by the contents of the discussions.

When she passed by her second aunt’s house, she realized that the door was tightly shut. However, many people were leaning against the wall, stepping on chairs and tiptoeing to look inside.

It was like the countryside during the new year when a movie was being played.

“Second sister, over here!” Little sister Su, who was short and scrawny, squeezed out of the crowd and waved at Su Qing happily. After calling her over, she even gave up half her bench to Su Qing.
