48 Tracking
Chen Guihua finally could not stand it anymore. She went to take a shower and changed her clothes while cursing.
When Chen Guihua came back, Su Xueqiang could not sleep.
“What the hell did you do?”
At the mention of this, Chen Guihua could not care less about quarreling. She said with shifty eyes, “”Guess what I saw tonight?”
“What did you see?”
“Su Wen is secretly making delicious food.” Chen Guihua thought of the smell of meat last time and slapped her thigh. “And the smell of meat last time. It’s not the first time. Su Wen, that little b***h, must have gotten rich. Where else would she get the money?”
“Are you sure it’s Su Wen’s house?” Su Xueqiang did not believe it.
Su Wen still owed matchmaker Zhao a small cut of 50 Yuan!
“It can’t be wrong, it can’t be wrong.” Chen Guihua had no skills, but she was better at finding food than anyone else. “I can’t be wrong. You don’t know how sweet and fragrant the smell tonight was. I’ve never smelled anything so delicious.”
After saying that, she took a deep breath.
Su Xueqiang knew how Chen Guihua was like and naturally believed her.
“You follow her from tomorrow on and see what she’s up to!” Su Xueqiang also vaguely felt that Su Wen was more honest than before during this period of time. She would not be so brainless just because someone deliberately provoked her.
Her second brother’s family had suffered such a huge loss today, and it was all because of Su Wen.
He had to be more careful.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll definitely expose this little w***h’s dirty deeds. Let’s see how she’ll face others in the future.” Chen Guihua was full of confidence. She got up and went to the cabinet and got a dogskin plaster that had been in there for a long time and applied it to her sprained ankle.

The next day, Su Wen had cut the cake into pieces and put it in a big basket as planned. She took one basket for herself and left one for Su Xiu. She wanted her to follow herself to town to learn how to sell things.
The few work points she earned were not enough to support the family. She might as well follow her lead and learn how to treat people and do business.
Although it was just a small business, it was already a shocking income for people in the early 1980s.
And it was a real training session.
She was afraid that Su Xiu had been doing farm work for too long and had become stupid. Just like in the book, the tragedy of the two sisters being tricked by their relatives in town to become pros*****s in a southern city must not happen again. She had to go out and see more things and come into contact with more people.
Because it was more than an hour’s walk to town, Su Wen left with Su Xiu before dawn. Before she left, she asked Su Qing to go to the village chief’s house to help Su Xiu apply for leave. Although she did not care about the work points, she still had to show the proper attitude.
Little sister Su insisted on following her, but Su Wen did not give in this time. She had woken up too early, and little sister Su was still too young. It was too tiring for her to follow the adults for such a long journey.
However, Su Wen was quick-witted enough to assign homework for her younger sister. She asked her to do some housework, read books, and learn how to read when she had nothing to do, so that she could prepare for school on the 1st of September.
The sky was slightly bright, and a dazzling morning star was hanging in the east, illuminating the road very clearly. When they left the village, the people who woke up early were already busy, but Su Wen always felt that someone was following her.
Whenever she turned around, the feeling disappeared again.
“Big sister, what are you looking at?” Su Xiu was nervous. She was afraid that she would be caught for selling things and sent to the study class, so she was nervous when Su Wen went back to check.
“It’s nothing,” Su Wen’s lips curled into a cold smile, and she deliberately said loudly, “This time, your brother-in-law made a fortune in the city and sent us ten Yuan. At least he still has a conscience.”
“What?” What was Big sister saying?
Why could she not understand?
