“You are too greedy.” Su Xuefang scolded, “Why don’t you see if you’ll live long enough to eat all that canned food?” Su Wen only knew how to eat. She had not learned to grow up into a respectable young woman.
Su Qing, Su Xiu, and the others were infuriated by Su Xuefang’s words. “Big Aunt, what are you trying to say? Are you saying Big Sister won’t live a long and fruitful life?”
“Big Sister will live a good life. I guarantee it.”
For the first time, Su Xuefang realized she was outmatched. The more she spoke, the deeper the hole she dug herself. Su Xuefang wanted nothing more than to beat a hasty retreat. Changing tracks, she tried bearing down on Su Wen, using her authority as an elder.
“Little Wen, where are your manners? As your Aunt, it is only right that I visit as often as possible to teach you.” Su Xuefang stood tall, her back straight, hatred bubbling to the surface like a boil ready to burst. Jealousy over Su Wen’s fair, supple skin only made it worse.
It seemed that Su Wen’s husband had been taking exceptional care of his wife. The wretched girl was just as shameless as her mother, only good for seducing men.
Her older brother was too much. If he died, so be it; but he had left everything good to his daughter, Su Wen, that witch! He had not even spared a thought for her, his dear sweet sister. Did he have a conscience? Su Xuefang was glad her older sibling had died young!
With such intense loathing coursing through Su Xuefang’s veins, much of her inner thoughts were reflected in her expression, none of which escaped Su Wen’s sharp eyes. It elicited a frown from Su Wen, whose disgust for her Aunt grew exponentially.
Hence, Su Wen quietly called Sixth Sister over and whispered something in the latter’s ear.
Sixth Sister’s eyes lit up as she listened. Nodding diligently, she quickly excused herself.
Su Wen whispered a few words to Su Qing. While talking, Su Xuefang made herself comfortable in the living room. Much to her disappointment, she had not found anything remotely good. “Little Wen, I’ve heard about your business with that outsider selling steamed cakes. You should have put family first. Only your family would not cheat you. Outsiders will always scheme against you, whether or not you like it. You’re still young, so it isn’t surprising you have not learned this valuable lesson.”
“Aunt, what do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it; stop beating about the bush!”
“Teach me how to make steamed cakes. I’m doing this for your good. Don’t worry. You’ll get plenty of benefits when the time comes.” Su Xuefang got straight to the point and demanded what she had come for.
Su Wen wanted to know how Su Xuefang could be so thick-skinned. “Aunt, you need to wash your face and exfoliate more,” Su Wen quipped.
“What’s wrong with my face?”
“You really are thick-skinned. How can you demand such things? Does this house belong to you now too?” Su Wen was at the end of her patience. Who was she trying to fool?
She only wanted to take advantage of them, thinking everyone else was as dumb as she was.
Was Su Xuefang hoping to diminish her intellect by hawking her stupidity?
“Would you like to repeat yourself? You’re looking for trouble, aren’t you?” Su Xuefang was so angry she turned purple, veins bulging at her temple and neck. Not only did she feel she was in the right, but she also felt all she had done and continued to do was for Su Wen’s good. Su Wen, her ungrateful niece, just did not know how to appreciate favors.
“Let me tell you, although I asked you to hand over the recipe for the steamed cakes, I won’t take advantage of you.”
Su Xuefang snorted coldly and said, “I’m here to introduce good jobs to Su Qing and Su Xiu. There’s a clothing factory down south looking for workers. The pay is 200 yuan a month, much better than what you can earn here in the countryside.”
“Humph! I took pity on you and your pitiful sisters out of the goodness of my heart when my older brother died. I went to great lengths to get you this opportunity and to think you would look the gift horse in the mouth.. Humph! You will regret this; I’ve always been the only one looking for you and yours! “
