"Chunmei, Chunxia, and I work for work points; do you think it’s just to support you? I’m telling you, Xingxing, if you and Chunlai think about continuing to strut around in this house and freeload, you’re dreaming!"
Xingxing didn’t get angry at all; she sneered, "That’s not for you to decide." After finishing the last of her corn porridge, Xingxing put down her utensils, stood up, and went back to check on her son, looking utterly unbothered, as if she hadn’t a care in the world.
"Enough with the fuss, let’s talk properly," Father Xu said, ignoring Mrs. Xu who sat on the ground crying a river of tears and regardless of his eldest son stomping beside him, he looked emotionlessly at Chunxia: "Did Sister Li Bao agree to your request?"
At these words, Chunxia’s gaze turned to her younger sisters Chunmei and Chunxiang; seeing them nod at her, indicating they had told their parents about her pleading with Kang Li, her feelings became extraordinarily complicated.
A flash of disappointment crossed her eyes, and she withdrew her gaze from them and turned to Father Xu, saying, "Kang Libao said she needs to think about it."—a lie Chunxia fabricated to avoid being sold off by her desperate parents.
After all, with hope in the air, the parents wouldn’t easily consider pushing her out the door like an animal for sale.
During this time, she could always think of a way to get Kang Libao to agree to take her away from Aoli Village!
Before going to bed at night, Chunmei and Chunxiang both looked at their Third Sister, Chunxia; Chunmei asked, "Third Sister, did Sister Li Bao really say she would consider helping you?"
However, Chunxia didn’t answer; she asked, "Why tell our parents?"
Chunmei knew what her sister meant; she bit her lip and hesitated to speak. Unexpectedly, Chunxiang, feeling somewhat regretful, said, "Mom and Dad didn’t see you come back; they asked me and Fourth Sister, and I just couldn’t keep it in..."
"Third Sister, don’t blame Sixth Sister," Chunmei spoke on behalf of Chunxia. "Our parents had already planned this, and moreover, Mom openly talked about it at the dinner table before you came back."
