She realized that although the postman’s messenger bag was very ordinary and common, it seemed to be very convenient. What if she did as Big Sister said? She could change the soft, cheap, and flabby canvas into a firm, stylish, and exquisite cowhide.
She should also change the bag strap. Although the bag that the postman was carrying wasn’t very heavy, it seemed to be very suffocating.
The inner lining and the bottom had to be improved as well. There had to be a way to improve it.
Su Qing was entranced by the drawing.
Su Xiu came in and interrupted, “Second Sister, your classmate Lin Weiguo has sent you a letter. You guys are so close. How is he?”
Only then did Su Qing come back to her senses. She hadn’t read Lin Weiguo’s letter yet!
“I can’t remember, but I can tell from his letter that he’s a very practical person.”
“It’s good. A practical person is the one who lives his life.” Su Xiu admired this type of person. She hated people like Su Pingfan the most.
“People might think that you’re looking for a partner!”
“Second Sister, you can actually consider about it.” Su Xiu liked to keep her own matters to herself, but she was very concerned about Su Qing’s marriage. When she bought the sewing machine, she wanted to ask Big sister to give it to Second sister as a dowry.
This way, Second sister wouldn’t be looked down upon by her in-laws when she got married.
However, now that the three sisters were working, Su Xiu worked hard every day to make steamed cakes. She had some savings now. She was thinking to get Second sister a dowry.
“Second Sister, you’re old enough to get married. You know, many people want to matchmake for you now. Instead of letting those people to matchmake for you, you might as well find someone you like.”
Su Qing held the letter in her hand and subconsciously gripped tight. The letter was almost deformed.
“I know.” After going through so many changes, she had learned from Big sister. She was no longer the ignorant Su Qing.
“I don’t want to leave home, but I’m indeed old enough. Although Big Sister said that it’s not too late for me to get married later, I knew I can’t do that, or people will gossip.”
She could not bring shame to Big sister and Fifth sister, the two most hardworking people in the family.
The girls in the village were already married at the age of eighteen or nineteen. If she stayed single at this age, those people would gossip behind her back.
People would say that Big sister had bad intentions and deliberately kept her at home to make money.
They would say that Big sister didn’t want her to get married on purpose.
It was very common in the village. Most women stayed single for the sake of their younger brother, so that they could help the family. In the end, they delayed their own marriages.
When they got older, they could only simply find someone less qualified.
There were even some women who stayed single for their entire lives just to work for the boys at home.
In fact, Su Qing scolded a few friends whom she met in the sewing school before. However, they said that Su Qing did not know what was good for her. She was scolded for being stupid and falling for Su Wen’s scheme.
Because of this, Su Qing was no longer willing to associate with these girls.
She knew in her heart that it wasn’t true, but she could not stand being misunderstood.
“Second Sister, don’t feel pressured.” Su Xiu and Su Qing had received the same education. They felt that they should get married when they were old enough.
But she didn’t want to put pressure on Second sister.
Big sister never paid much attention to this matter. She even encouraged them to enjoy for a few more years. The sisters never told Su Wen about their worries.
