That's terrible! Liu Chun shot to his feet. How could you let your wife be bullied?

I Zhou Hengyang's words got stuck in his throat, his gaze turning chilly. He pinched his nose bridge in frustration. He thought of Su Wen's haphazard sleeping position, and a fire roared to life in his heart.

It had only been a little more than a day since he left the village. He had barely spoken to her in the time he took to solve her problem. How could such a big change occur as soon as he left?

Worse still was the figure that haunted him at night

That person would bug him in his dreams, putting him ill at ease.

It was dinner time when Su Wen returned home from the village chief's house. Since Su Qing and Su Xiu were home, Su Wen did not need to worry about dinner they would have cooked in her stead. Although they had done their best, the food they prepared was so bland that it made Su Wen lose her appetite.

It would have been strange if anything they cooked in that large pot tasted good without oil or salt.

After drinking half a bowl of cornmeal porridge, Su Wen put the bowl down.

Little Sister Su finished her bowl of rice and went to the kitchen to refill it. Su

Qing took the opportunity to whisper in her older sister's ear. Big Sister, Little Sister Su is too cunning! After you went to the Chief's place, she confronted Su Xiaoya, and they worked out an agreement to deal with Sixth Sister together.

Su Xiaoya was rather persuasive

Su Xiu, seated next to Su Wen, overheard her sister's whispered words and covered her mouth while holding her chopsticks lest she burst into laughter. She had already heard the details from Second Sister. It was both surprising and amusing.

The two girls were so young, yet their heads were already full of schemes.

Big Sister, you've been deceived. Those little ones are trying to get on your good side for a reason! Su Qing muttered angrily.

Su Wen was speechless.

She had always known Little Sister Su was a smart girl. Su Xiaoya, who had become her younger sister's friend after sharing food with her, was not an idiot either. Still, it shocked her that the two had banded together to deal with Slxth Sister.

It was as if she had transmigrated into a palace drama.

What's wrong with Sixth Sister? Is she truly some great enemy they need to guard against? Su Wen asked in confusion.

Little Sister Su had a big heart, bigger than most of her peers. As long as she cultivated it and let go of all other thoughts burdening her, she would become one of the most likable characters among her peers.

When she first arrived in this world, Little Sister Su would often complain about Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang. Whenever she mentioned their names, she would hiss and snarl in anger. Recently, she rarely mentioned them, so Su Wen had thought that Little Sister Su had gotten over her differences with Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang.

Sixth Sister What about her made Little Sister Su feel like she was facing down a great foe?

In the novel, Su Wen recalled that Sixth Sister and Little Sister Su were only one and a half years apart. Sixth Sister was already eight and would ordinarily have started school by now.

Big Sister, you may not know this, but Sixth Sister bullies Little Sister Su whenever she's home.

Su Xiu agreed. Little Sister can't stand up to Sixth Sister.

Then why haven't the two of you done anything to stop her? Su Wen asked, shocked that something like that had been happening under her nose.

Su Xiu and Su Qing's expressions grew strange as Su Wen spoke. They looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads, going back to their meals.

Ah The stir-fried cabbage tonight was delicious.

The corn rice porridge was cooked according to Su Wen's method. It was rich, fragrant, thick, and easy to digest. By comparison, the cornmeal porridge they had been eating in the past was plain soup without any taste!

What is it? Su Wen stared at them.

Since their eldest sister had asked, it would do them no good to continue concealing the truth.

Big Sister, you used to bully us when you were young! Su Xiu said, a little embarrassed.

That's nothing new! Quarrels are part and parcel of being a family; it's normal.

Su Wen felt a headache coming and rubbed her forehead. Before she transmigrated into the present body, Su Wen had been an only child. She had no one to play with, even though she dearly desired one. It seemed she could only take the blame on behalf of the original body's owner.

Seeing as Little Sister Su had returned, the three sisters tacitly broke off their conversation..
