There was also the petite champagne Sixth Sister and Little Sister Su liked, alongside rolls of crispy sugar candy.

Business was booming at Sister Chrysanthemum’s provisions shop, and with it was an ever-increasing variety of goods. Butchers from the neighboring villages would sell their meats to Sister Chrysanthemum, while fishermen sold what they caught to her.

Sister Chrysanthemum’s sales were amazing, in no small part to Su Wen, who was her biggest customer. Things were hectic in Su Wen’s house, with so many mouths to feed. Her family consisted of seven sisters and the three men staying with them: Zhou Hengyang, Xu Xiaoxiao, and Shen Erkui.

They did not have enough food at home to feed a household of ten – more so when the appetites of those three men eclipsed all seven sisters combined! With her sisters growing up, Su Wen felt it was important to prepare nutritious meals, accompanied by soup, to meet their dietary requirements.

Pork trotters, ribs, lotus roots, soybeans, etc. These ingredients would ensure her younger sisters grew up fair and beautiful. The two in greatest need were naturally Su Xue and Fith Sister. The two had grown substantially in the last two months, having hit a puberty-induced growth spurt, which had seen their figures developing.

Su Xue and Fifth Sister were quite awkward at present, but that was to be expected of teens growing up. It was a pleasing sight to Su Wen.

With her younger sisters’ current figures and looks, they could debut as female idols, becoming the center of attention wherever they went!

That would be a crowning achievement for them and their family.

“Little Wen, I’ll give you this bottle of vinegar; this one is on the house.” Sister Chrysanthemum added a bottle of balsamic vinegar to Su Wen’s basket. She was so different from how she treated Su Wen before. Sister Chrysanthemum was a businesswoman at heart. She was not a Scrooge, but neither was she overly generous.

Today, she took the initiative by giving Su Wen a bottle of vinegar worth one yuan. It was simply shocking.

A passing villager who had witnessed the exchange teased, “Sister

Chrysanthemum! Did the sun rise from the west today?”

“Shoo! If your family produces a college student, I’ll also give you a bottle of vinegar.” There were a few things left unsaid. Although Chen Guihua’s provisions shop had opened, Su Wen still patronized her store over her Third Aunt’s. Sister Chrysanthemum knew she had to show her sincerity and gratitude to ensure she did not lose such a big customer.

“By the way, Little Wen, when is your family holding the banquet? Fifth Sister was admitted to university, so you must host a banquet to celebrate. This is a big matter for Trinity Village!”

“That’s right! You should hold a banquet. If you’re busy, we’d be more than happy to lend a helping hand.”

“We won’t be holding a banquet. It hasn’t been three years since my father passed, and we are still mourning.” Su Wen had no plans to hold a banquet. Firstly, she had no intention of inviting any more of the Su family’s weird relatives into her life – if they all came at once, she would go insane!

Secondly, she did not know most of them. The Su family was so large that it was not unimaginable that she had never met more than a handful, those closest to her. Holding a banquet would make things incredibly awkward for her.

Finally, perhaps most important of all her considerations was that no one at home wanted a big celebration. The sisters had tasted the warmth and coldness of their relatives and were no longer as naive as they once were.

Zhou Hengyang had invited some of those he was close to for a homecooked meal, but that was it. The village chief, Li Youtian, was one of them. Wang Chuntan, a few of their neighbors, including those families who had borrowed donkey carts in the past, Cao Meihua, who Su Wen knew from business, Li Xiaolian from the supply and marketing cooperative, and finally, He Changming and a few others.

These past few days were a blur of action, where Zhou Hengyang helped Su Wen repair the courtyard wall and did some networking. Despite his workload, he handled it all impeccably. Even Cao Meihua was shocked by Zhou

Hengvang’s canabilities and she secrety told Sli Wen to take good care of her
