Fifth Sister lowered her head guiltily. “Okay, I know I was wrong.”
“It’s good that you know. We shouldn’t be like those who look down on Big Sister just because they can. Big Sister is doing her best to help us find a good match. If she weren’t doing that, people wouldn’t be talking behind her back,” Su Xue earnestly said.
“Mm! Fourth Sister, don’t say anymore. I know. I won’t do it again.” Fifth Sister bowed her head in shame, her eyes red.
Su Xue’s heart melted; she regretted saying such harsh words to her sister. While she understood her sister’s sentiments and complained as she did in the confines of her heart, she never expressed any outward dissatisfaction toward her older sister’s endeavors.
Still, she could not beat Su Wen, her older sister, when it came to being calm.
Su Wen felt like she was being watched, and she looked around, eventually catching sight of Su Xue and Fifth Sister. How her two younger siblings looked at her was all too familiar. It reminded Su Wen of how Su Qing and Su Xiu regarded her; the similarity was in the contours of their brows.
Although the seven sisters had different personalities and looked different, they were very similar in some ways.
They all had a high nose bridge and thick eyelashes, which were traits inherited from their parents.
Su Wen smiled faintly as she studied her two siblings, sizing them up. Nothing escaped her gaze. Everything from their looks, clothes, expressions, and eyes was captured and filed in the repository of her mind. Soon, she had formulated a preliminary impression of them. With a raised brow, she shot Su Xue a questioning look.
Su Wen had to admit that Su Xue had given her a surprise.
The determination in her sister’s eyes was far greater than Su Qing’s, making her question who was the real second child in the family.
Su Wen nodded at the two.
“Big Sister, why are you here?”
The two sisters walked up to Su Wen and greeted her politely.
“I needed to buy something in the area, so I came to check in on you both.” Su Wen was not close to her two younger siblings, so she did not try to be overly familiar. Besides, the original Su Wen’s attitude toward her younger siblings had not been anything to write home about. She was a selfish, self-centered woman. In this scenario, the best mode of action was to let nature take its course.
“My husband got this for you two to share.” Su Wen pointed at the bicycle beside her.
Fifth Sister was stunned. She looked at Su Wen in a daze and even secretly pinched herself.
Ow!
She was not dreaming.
Su Xue shared Fifth Sister’s shock. It felt like she was trapped in a waking dream.
“Do either of you know how to ride a bicycle?” Su Wen asked. It took her a moment to realize how silly her question must have sounded to her sisters. Bicycles were popular in the city but not so much in the suburbs or towns.
“No… we don’t.”
Su Wen mulled over the issue for a second. “It’s not difficult. It’s easy to learn. You’ll get the hang of it after falling a few times.” Su Wen remembered her first time riding a bike as a child. Her grandmother had pushed her, holding the handle rails so she would not tip over and fall. It took her half a day of practice to get it right.
“You mustn’t fear falling when you learn to ride a bicycle. Fear will hold you back. You could ask a classmate or teacher to show you the ropes. It’s fairly simple.”
“O-okay.” That was true. Most of the teachers in the school knew how to ride a bicycle.
The two sisters nodded simultaneously and stood like obedient elementary school students.
Su Wen offered them a hesitant smile before she left. She still had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative for her bicycle. The perks of riding a bicycle included not needing to walk and the greatly enhanced travel speed. Squinting at the sun and judging its arc across the sky, Su Wen concluded it would be too late to grab lunch outside.
Since Su Qing had gone to the tailor’s, there would probably be some leftovers for her..
