Chapter 179: Su Xiaoya

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Through her younger sister, Su Wen got to know Su Xiaoya and gradually grew to enjoy the clever, cute little girl’s company.

“Xiaoya, what’s wrong?” Su Wen asked with a smile.

“Grandma Gou Dan went to the village chief’s house to complain about you.” Su Xiaoya panted heavily as she spoke. It was obvious she had come running as soon as she learned what Grandma Gou Dan was up to.

Su Wen was not surprised Grandma Gou Dan would try to settle the score with her.

“Okay. Thank you for letting me know.”

“What are you going to do?” Su Xiaoya shuffled where she stood worriedly. So long as nothing happened to Aunty Su Wen, her younger sister would continue living a good life, and she could continue getting food. Su Xiaoya hoped with all her heart that her Aunty Su Wen would continue to be well.

Su Xiaoya did not want her Aunty Su Wen to be bullied.

She had been playing under the three trees and immediately ran over when she heard the news.

“It’s okay. I’m not afraid.” Su Xiaoya’s concern amused Su Wen. Teasingly, she asked, “Xiaoya, are you afraid?”

“I’m not afraid!” Su Xiaoya was often left hungry and forced to drink water for the wash pot. She was not afraid! She was very brave. Before her mother died, she had told her to work hard and grow up healthy and strong.

“Awesome!” Su Wen was full of praise.

What a cute little girl.

As the two talked, they did notice Little Sister Su watching their interaction, her eyes burning with anger. Little Sister Su was practically glaring daggers at Su Xiaoya by this point.

Sure enough, the people arranged by the village chief to pick up Su Wen arrived shortly after. Su Wen did not dawdle and washed her hands before following the individuals to the village chief’s house.

Little Sister Su ran up to Su Xiaoya and glared with her hands on her hips after her older sister left. She looked like she wanted to take a chunk out of Su Xiaoya.

“Su Xiaoya, you heartless ingrate!” Being six without much of a filter, she scolded Su Xiaoya with a righteous fury only someone her age could possess.

“I… What do you mean?” Su Xiaoya took a step back, appearing guilty.

“How dare you snatch my sister! Do you think I don’t know what you’re doing? You’re horrible! And I’ve always treated you like a good friend… Now you’re repaying my kindness with this evil scheme! I won’t give you any more delicious food ever again. I won’t help you beat up your brother, either.

Little Sister Su patted herself on her back, complimenting her intelligence and insight. Thankfully, she had discovered Su Xiaoya’s true motive before it was too late.

Humph! She did not want to be friends with such a bad person!

“Aunty Little Sister Su, I’m not trying to steal Aunty Su Wen,” Su Xiaoya quickly explained, “I like Aunty Su Wen, but I would never try to steal her from you!”

“Humph! You’re not fooling me!” Both of them were bullied by other children in the village. Because they shared similar personalities and situations, they naturally became friends. They had often joined forces in the past to oppose their bullies and get back at those who tormented them.

Sometimes they would hurl mud at their bullies secretly, catching them when they were alone. Their most successful act of revenge to date was when they had beaten up Niuniu, with him being none the wiser because of the gunny sack they stuffed over his head.

Therefore, it was not a stretch to say that Little Sister Su knew Su Xiaoya best. She was a great fighter and could easily match Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang any day of the week.

Yet, whenever she was before her older sister, it was as if she were a different person.

“Big Sister likes cute, smart, and sensible children, so you always pretend to be an obedient little girl in front of her. Am I right?” Being the quick-witted child that she was, Little Sister Su had long uncovered Su Xiaoya’s master plan.

She had not wanted her sister to learn the truth, so she had said nothing earlier.

If Big Sister knew she had been deceived, she would be very sad.

“Hehe…” Su Xiaoya rubbed her head and smiled proudly. “Aunty Little Sister Su, how could you tell? Please don’t tell anyone, okay? I’ll listen to whatever you say in the future.”

“No!” Little Sister Su crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly.

“Aunty Little Sister Su, if you help me this time, I’ll help you in the future.

Think about Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang. Have you forgotten what you said? You said Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang are your enemies. Think about it, they’re taller and stronger than you, and they’re boys. You can’t beat them alone..”
