Chapter 6: Cannot shake Yueyue's position in my heart
Su Yun couldn't just spit it out now, he was so angry.
Later, Su Jing saw that the four brothers had returned to their rooms, so he prepared to have a good talk with them:
"Everyone, stand up and sit still. I have something to tell you!"
After all, he is the eldest brother and is still very intimidating in front of his brothers. Facing his four younger brothers, he has lost his usual gentleness and looks serious.
The eldest brother usually seldom cares about what they do or say, but whenever he gets so serious, it means that he has something very serious to say. The brothers dare not slack off and all get up from the kang and sit side by side.
The room was not big to begin with, and it seemed very crowded with five brothers living together. Their things were all piled together, and there was no place for two more people to step.
"Brother, do you want to talk about Su Wan?"
Su Mu had already guessed it. Although he had a dull personality, he had a sharp mind and observed things very carefully.
When he heard that it was Su Wan's business, the fourth brother Su Yun became unhappy and curled his lips.
Su Jing nodded and pulled a stool over to sit down.
"Old Four, be serious!"
He looked at Su Yun quietly. Su Yun felt the oppression and didn't dare to have any bad expression anymore. He sat upright. Only then did Su Jing start to get to the point.
"Wanwan has not lived with us since she was a child, so it's normal that we have no feelings for her. But it's not her fault that she and Yueyue swapped identities. She was just a newborn baby and she wasn't the mastermind behind it. Don't treat her like a sinner, especially you, Su Yun.
As far as I know, she didn't provoke you. Although Yueyue grew up with us, she is ultimately the child of the Gu family. We still treat her as our younger sister, but Wanwan is also our younger sister and shares the same blood with us. I don't ask you to pamper her too much, I just ask that you treat her equally!"
"She and Yueyue have just been exchanged back. Their lives have changed dramatically, and they both need to slowly adapt. Wanwan has never suffered from hardship since she was a child, and she grew up in luxury. If she does something wrong, I hope you can be tolerant and understanding. Can you do that?"
Su Jing glanced at his four younger brothers one by one, hoping to hear a satisfactory answer.
"Brother, I understand what you are saying!" Su Muyan expressed his attitude concisely. He couldn't be intimate with Su Wan now, but he didn't hate her.
"I think Su Wan is pretty good. She doesn't have the temper of a spoiled little princess. I have no problem with her. After all, she is my sister!" Su Chen is a very simple person. He doesn't beat around the bush. If he likes someone, he likes them. If he doesn't like someone, he doesn't like them. Even if he doesn't like someone, he won't hurt them, let alone because she is his own sister?
"Sister Wanwan is well-educated and well-mannered. Madam Gu taught her very well!" Su Yi smiled gently with his eyes curved. He was the one that Su Jing was least worried about.
Su Yun, the twin brother, glared at Su Yi when he heard this, thinking, this traitor, has he forgotten what Yueyue said that day?
Su Yi gave him a harmless smile in return.
Seeing his expression of resistance, Su Jing frowned unhappily:
"Su Yun, what about you?"
"I don't reject Su Wan's return, but he can't shake Yueyue's position in my heart!" Su Yun said very firmly. Only later did he realize how painful it was to be slapped in the face.
Su Jing was helpless. He knew his fourth brother's temper and didn't expect him to change his attitude all of a sudden. Although he looked bad-tempered, he was actually the easiest to break down. Everyone who knew him knew it.
"Okay, let's all go to bed early. We have to get up early to work tomorrow morning!"
The family hasn't started harvesting the rice yet. As they are busy with Su Wan and Gu Yue's affairs, other families in the village have already finished harvesting.
The lights in the two rooms in the Su family's yard were turned off early. Everyone in the family was very frugal. After all, kerosene also costs money!
…
Except for the dim oil lamp still on in Su Wan's room, she had just come to this world and was not used to everything yet. The hard kang was covered with a quilt that had been there for a long time and still had the smell of Gu Yue on it.
She carefully sorted out her memories and the plot of the book. She must get the recognition of the Su family. At least if the heroine dislikes her in the future, there will be someone to speak for her, right?
She was in a half-asleep state all night, and woke up as soon as the rooster crowed the next morning. It was still daylight outside, and Su's father and mother had already gotten up and started to make a fire and cook breakfast.
The Su family eats very simply. In the morning they eat pancakes made of cornmeal. The cornmeal is ground very coarsely, so the pancakes are also very coarse. They scoop a handful of rice to cook some porridge, and just heat up the sweet potatoes left over from last night.
Considering Su Wan, he kneaded some white flour and made a few white flour buns. There were no chickens at home, so he couldn't even get an egg. After all, there was not enough food for his family, so where would he get extra food to feed the chickens?
Normally, I can’t bear to eat pure white flour steamed buns, and only eat two-grain flour steamed buns, which are made of a small amount of white flour mixed with corn flour.
Su Wan pushed open the kitchen door. His mother thought it was her son who had gotten up, so she said without even looking at him:
"Mom cooked this morning. You study hard every day. Why do you get up so early?" Su's mother thought it was her eldest son.
She didn't realize it until Su Wan sat down at the stove door.
"Wanwan?"
She looked shocked, obviously not expecting it to be Su Wan. She was usually a young lady who never had to do housework. At this moment, she was wearing the patched linen clothes left by Gu Yue. Her shoes were also Gu Yue's, and the size was just right. Her hair was braided into a whole pigtail that hung down to her chest, which was simple yet playful.
Last night she was wearing a beautiful skirt and her hair was neatly combed. If it weren't for her fair and delicate skin, she would be no different from an ordinary country girl.
"Why are you so surprised, mother?" Su Wan looked at her with a smile.
Mother Su was so distracted by her own daughter's smile that it took her a moment to react:
"No, Wanwan got up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"If you can't sleep, get up!" Su Wan picked up the fire tongs on the ground and moved the firewood that had already burned a lot inside with skillful movements.
"Your father can take care of the fire. You can go and rest. I guess you're not used to country life, so you can't sleep!"
Su's mother subconsciously felt that Su Wan's delicate little hands were not suitable for this kind of work. Besides, she usually lived a life of luxury and her quilts were made of silk, so it was understandable that she was not used to sleeping on the earthen kang at home.
Su's mother tried to grab the fire tongs, but Su Wan dodged them. She felt that Su's mother was too sensitive and too cautious. The more she acted like this, the more unfamiliar she seemed. She felt more like a guest than her daughter.
