Chapter 271: You’re Not Bad
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Qing, Su Xiu, Su Xue, and Fifth Sister were all grown up; even their father, if he were still alive, would give them space to make their own decisions. It would be very different if they were still teens or kids. As it stood, he was their brother-in-law through marriage to Su Wen. He was a live-in son-in-law, akin to being their older brother rather than a parental figure.
Hence, Little Sister Su was Zhou Hengyang’s favorite.
Su Wen had gone out earlier that morning. Not wanting to stay home, he decided to wait for her to return.
“You’re a good person.” Su Wen punched Zhou Hengyang’s shoulder in approval. She had already used a lot of strength, but it was like scratching an itch to Zhou Hengyang. Her small fist was like water off a duck’s back. It did not phase Zhou Hengyang at all.
It was these little things that showed Zhou Hengyang’s character. That scum, Zhao Jiangang, simply could not pare.
“By the way, did you know that Zhao Jiangang was sent to labor reform?” Zhou Hengyang piped up.
“Really?” Su Wen was pleasantly surprised. “Someone like him should spend the rest of his life in a labor reformation center.”
Zhou Hengyang’s thin lips curled into a faint smile as he said coldly, “Indeed. Someone like him should be sentenced to lifelong labor reform!” Hooliganism could be a serious crime, depending on the circumstances. Now, it’ll be up to Zhao Jiangang’s parents to bail him out if they can.
Zhou Hengyang did not mind making it so that Zhao Jiangang never stepped out of a labor reformation center again.
Su Qing was the first to arrive home. As soon as she entered the pound, she saw Su Xue and Fifth Sister peeling garlic in the courtyard. Su Xiu and her Little Sister Su were also there, chatting happily. Meanwhile, Sixth Sister eyed Su Xue and Fifth Sister with a tilt of her head. Occasionally, she would glance at Little Sister Su with a cold expression.
No sooner had Su Qing arrived than Sixth Sister happily weled her home. “Second Sister, Second Sister, you’re back. Where’s Big Sister? Eh? Why isn’t Big Sister with you?”
“Big Sister is speaking with her husband.”
“Oh!” exclaimed Sixth Sister, who looked up at Su Qing with big, bright eyes.
Unhappy, she said, “Second Sister, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister are back.”
“I know. Sixth Sister, what’s wrong?” Su Qing immediately picked up on Sixth Sister’s displeasure.
It was really strange. Not even that time when Little Sister Su hogged all of Big Sister’s attention was Sixth Sister as unhappy as she seemed now.
“Humph!” Sixth Sister rolled her eyes. “Second Sister, I don’t like Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister. It’s nothing.”
“You call this nothing?” Su Qing did not know whether to laugh or cry. “What did your Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister do to you?”
“How do you not know?” Sixth Sister retorted, her black eyes revealing more than words could, shocking Su Qing into silence.
Su Xiu and the others who were talking saw Su Qing pushing her bicycle in and quickly put down their work and hurried over to greet her.
Su Qing pretended not to see them; instead, she answered Sixth Sister, “I know now.”
Sixth Sister laughed happily and said, “I knew Second Sister was as smart as me! Great minds think alike!”
“Yes.” Su Qing nodded and parked her bicycle against the wall. She then took out the things she and Su Wen had bought and handed the mosquito net to Su Xiu. “This is the new mosquito net Big Sister bought. It was very expensive. Please wash and dry it; Big Sister wants to use it tonight.”
“Alright.”
“Second Sister.” Su Xue greeted him expressionlessly.
Fifth Sister seemed a little guilty pared to Su Xue’s expressionless mask. “Second Sister, we’re back.”
Contrary to their expectation, Su Qing did not even acknowledge them, let alone respond. She walked past the two and ordered Sixth Sister and Little Sister Su to attend to several miscellaneous tasks..
