Su Xiu’s face was as red as an apple. Fortunately, it was dark, and no one could see her blush clearly.
“Big Sister, don’t tease me.”
“What are you embarrassed about? You’re already 18 years old. You’re of marriageable age, even if a little young. It’s alright for you to fall in love.” Su Wen did not see herself as some old fogey with archaic views on love. As long as her sisters did not mess around and were not deceived by scumbags, she was happy to see her younger sisters fall in love.
“As for Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister… Since neither of you is eighteen yet, I hope you will not date anyone for now.” Su Wen mulled over her words and shook her head. She did not want her sisters to regret not starting a relationship just because she said so. By then, she would be unable to make it up to them, regardless of whatever she said.
“Let me amend my words – I think being in a relationship is okay, but I must insist on propriety. Nothing more than holding hands, understood?” Su Wen gestured at Su Xue and Fifth Sister, the two peeping through the window, listening in on their conversation. “The same goes for the both of you. Don’t forget what I’ve said.”
“Okay.” While Su Xue remained silent, Fifth Sister immediately said, “Don’t worry, Big Sister. I won’t fall for anyone; I’m still young!”
Su Wen rubbed her temples. It was hard to say how much of what she had said actually sank in for Fifth Sister, who was headstrong and self-assured. Now that she thought about it… What was the name of that boy she had met at her sister’s school? It sounded pretty good, of that she was sure. A boy who would certainly grow up into a hunk with a cold, reserved personality, yet still willing to help others, was exactly the type of person she thought to match her sister with.
No, no! A boy like him certainly had ulterior motives!
Anyway, it’s time for you all to spread your wings and explore your options.
Feel free to come to me if you encounter something you don’t understand.” Su Wen rested her chin on her paper fan and said, “Society is complicated,” an almost wistful note in her words, “but I’ll always try my best to help you if you run into trouble.”
That was the best she could do. She would not have picked up on it if not for Liu Chun’s shameless flirting earlier that afternoon.
Her younger sisters were all pure and beautiful. She had to do something to prevent them from being deceived by scum like Zhao Jiangang. Teaching them now would reduce the likelihood of them being hoodwinked in the future, helping identify those with bad intentions.
Ah! Su Wen was their older sister, but she sometimes felt more like a mother to her younger sisters.
“Big Sister, what do you think?” Little Sister Su propped her chin with her
hands, her eyes showing her thirst for praise.
“Don’t look at me like that. It’s so mushy.” Aye! An invisible tension seemed to drain from the air as soon as Zhou Hengyang left. Su Wen was glad she no longer needed to bear the weight of a mountain over her shoulders, straining her poor, stiff back.
It was as she had thought. With Zhou Hengyang around, she could not breathe easily.
“No, I want to look at Big Sister like this.”
“Tsk! ”
“Little Sister is such a bootlicker.”
“Little Sister is a lackey.”
Everyone condemned Little Sister Suls behavior, but Su Wen had long trained her to the point of invulnerability. If she did not have thick skin, how could she survive in the future?
Sixth Sister listened attentively to Su Wen’s words, a thoughtful look occasionally coming over her. While everyone else was teasing Little Sister Su, Sixth Sister asked, “Big Sister, what do you mean by scumbag?”
“Scumbags…” Su Wen touched her chin. “Unscrupulous scumbags are bad men. They specialize in deceiving girls’ feelings. Su Pingfan and Zhao Jiangang were both scumbags. Third Uncle and Second Uncle are also scumbags.”
‘What? Is there anyone in our village who isn’t a scumbag?” The sisters were stunned by Su Wen’s observation.
“Of course there are. He Yulan’s husband isn’t a scumbag, for one. He is honest and dotes on his wife.” Su Wen paused to collect her thoughts. “In short, all scumbags are different. Some are good at lying, some are good at masking their true selves, and some are spiteful but refuse to admit it.”
People in the 1980s were still simple and honest, especially young girls. Many of them were still influenced by old ways of thinking. It was unlike the future, where girls stood up for themselves, tearing into scumbags who would take advantage of them..
