Transmigrated As The Ex-Wife Of A Heroic Man

Chapter 166 - 170

Before Su Qing could stop the clamoring crowd, someone managed to open the box. When everyone saw it was a Plum Blossom sewing machine, they stared at it in disbelief. Overawed, they began touching its frame, thinking about all the marvelous things they would do with it.

Clothes will always need to be sewn and mended. With a sewing machine, you’ll finish in no time!”

He Yulan was one of those in the crowd. “Su Xiu, your sister sure is a spendthrift,” He Yulan whispered into Su Xiu’s ear, “She’s even willing to buy something as expensive as a Pum Blossom sewing machine. When I got married, Big Brother wanted to give me a sewing machine as a dowry, but I didn’t agree.”

“Why’s that?” Su Xiu asked in confusion.

“Think about it! I have three sisters-in-law, but none of them have dowries. If I’m the only one with a sewing machine, getting along with them will be difficult. Moreover, the sewing machine won’t be mine once I marry.”

He Yulan sneered. “My first and second sisters-in-law are not easy to deal with.” He Yulan’s husband was the third oldest in the family. Hence, He Yulan’s two sisters-in-law always tried to take advantage of her because they married into the family first..

The brothers and their wives lived under one roof, with their mother-in-law as the family’s matriarch. Hence, it was inevitable for small conflicts to occur daily.

Of the three women that had married into the family, two of them did housework, while the last had to tend to the fields and toil under the hot sun to earn credits. That woman was none other than He Yulan.

Su Xiu nodded in understanding. The situation He Yulan found herself in was not uncommon in the village. There were plenty of families in similar situations. Su Xiu had witnessed these internal conflicts within families since she was young. While she had grown accustomed, it never stopped her from feeling disgusted, especially with those women who treated their sisters-in-law as their lesser.

“I want to be like Big Sister in the future and find myself a live-in son-in-law. This way, I can be with Big Sister and everyone else forever.” Su Xiu rubbed her forearm, feeling embarrassed.

Su Xiu’s proclamation left He Yulan dumbfounded. “No…” She was anxious to stop Su Xiu from walking down that unconventional path. With everyone jostling for a chance to lay their hands on the sewing machine, someone accidentally knocked into another and caused it to topple over.

Su Xiu was given quite a fright. Thankfully, she reacted in time and prevented the sewing machine from falling.

Had she not acted as swiftly as she had, the sewing machine her Big Sister had obtained with much effort might have broken.

He Yulan stomped her feet in anger when she lost her opportunity to complete her sentence. She was done for if Su Xiu decided to follow in Su Wen’s footsteps. Would Big Brother be unhappy if he found a live-in son-in-law at home?

She definitely would not allow Big Brother to become a doormat for others.

Standing to one side, He Yulan examined Su Xiu sadly. She could not fathom what her older brother saw in Su Xiu. She was so plain! While Su Xiu was a little more literate than most, it was nothing noteworthy. She was dark-skinned and thin… Wait a minute…!
