“Su Wen?!” Wang Chunyan cried anxiously.
Su Wen waved her hand and stared down at Grandma Gou Dan with a brick in her hand. “Hold her down,” she said, her voice as cold as ice, “Sisters dear, shut her up for me, please. She’s giving me a headache.”
Grandma Gou Dan’s foul mouth was getting on Su Wen’s nerves. Vulgarities and curses spewed out of the old woman’s mouth like a torrential downpour, each word a knife slicing across Su Wen and her sisters’ skins; it was unbearable. Even married women would feel disgusted by Grandma Gou Dan’s words, let alone the innocent ears of young, wide-eyed girls.
Older women like Su Pingping and Sun Xiaocao had already covered their faces and hurried away in embarrassment. If others found out they were still standing around, listening to Grandma Gou Dan’s abuse, they would certainly wonder how they could bear the insults. Some might even question how they could be so shameless.
The only lady who had not left was Sun Lili. She watched the show with a cold smile, her eyes darting between the two quarreling parties. No one knew what was going on in her mind.
Su Qing and Su Xiu were beside themselves with rage, and their eyes were bloodshot. After hearing Su Wen’s words, the two girls realized they did not need to rely on brute force alone. Since they could not maintain the upper hand with Grandma Gou Dan’s superior strength, they needed to go about doing things differently.
The only lady who had not left was Sun Lili. She watched the show with a cold smile, her eyes darting between the two quarreling parties. NO One knewwhat was going on in her mind.
In anger, the sisters joined hands and pinned Grandma Gou Dan to the ground, restricting her movements.
Little Sister Su used the opportunity her sisters provided to escape from Grandma Gou Dan’s grasp. She swiped hay from the chicken coop, picked the filthiest, most disgusting ones full of bird droppings, and returned, stuffing the whole lot into Grandma Gou Dan’s mouth.
“Pah, pah, pah… You heartless…!” Grandma Gou Dan gagged, on the verge of puking.
“Stuff it.” Su Wen removed her sleeve guards and handed them to Little Sister Su. “Give those sleeve protectors to Grandma Gou Dan as a thank-you gift from me,” she said casually.
The crowd was at a loss and could not understand what Su Wen wanted to do. They only understood when Little Sister Su stuck the sleeve guards into Grandma Gou Dan’s mouth like a makeshift pacifier. Those present could not help but take a step back in fear; how they looked at Su Wen changed.
Su Wen’s nonchalance shocked the villagers. They had seen many fights and plenty of quarrels in their time, but never had they seen one like Su Wen’s.
It was frightening.
With the sleeve guards acting as a pacifier, Grand Gou Dan could not spit out the offensive mix of hay and bird droppings in her mouth.
“Su Qing, go get some rope and tie her up. You might need to escort Grandma Gou Dan home. I’m afraid no one will take care of her if she’s left out for too long.” Su Wen offered her captive audience a bow, waving the brick in her hand at Grandma Gou Dan. “Am I right?” Su Wen asked, a faint smile tugging her cheeks.
Grandma Gou Dan was so shocked that she ran out of curses for a split second. She stared at the ominous brick in Su Wen’s hand, and her mind immediately jumped to Sun Dahai’s broken arm. Howling in fear, she took advantage of Su Qing’s lapse in concentration to push herself to her feet and flee from the horrifying sight of Su Wen.
Grandma Gou Dan retreated so quickly that she kicked up a cloud of dust.
All the people in the courtyard wore unsightly expressions. Those of weaker will followed Grandma Gou Dan’s footsteps, sneaking away as quickly as possible.
Su Wen greeted the nervous crowd warmly. “Don’t go! Weren’t you all here to borrow my sewing machine? We haven’t even hammered out agreements for every one of you yet.”
“O-oh, there’s no hurry. No, no.”
“I-I can sew j-just as well w-with my hands…”
Su Wen’s enthusiasm grew, and she smiled brightly. “Now, now. Don’t be like that. Why don’t we set up a schedule? That way, everyone will get a turn. It would be my pleasure, so please, don’t treat me like an outsider.”
“N-no, no. We don’t want to inconvenience you. B-besides, I don’t have any clothes to mend at home.”
“How can you say that?” Su Wen pounced on the woman who spoke. “I’m more than happy to help everyone. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We’re all one big, happy family. I’m counting on you all to take care of me. Caring for my six sisters has been difficult, and my husband’s work takes him away from home… I’m sure you all will think of me kindly.”
The woman Su Wen caught could not help but feel her face stiffen. “O-of course. It’s only right we take care of each other. Yes! We must take care of each other…”
Su Wen released the woman, patting her on her shoulder..
