Su Wen, Su Qing, Su Xiu, and Su Xue gathered around the same table. Having more sisters had its advantages.

After the New Year, they planned to host a mahjong night. If they could teach their younger sister and the sixth sister, included Zhou Hengyang, they would have eight people, perfect for two mahjong tables.

Since her transmigration, Su Wen had never played cards. Now, she had been the landlord three times in a row and won all three rounds. It felt wonderful. “I think it’s too boring if we don’t play with money. How about we play with some money”‘ su wen suggested.

“Big sister, Father said that gambling is not good,” Su Xiu, the honest one, treated Su Xuewen’s words as law. “The winner just needs to flick their head.

No gambling allowed.”

“It’s fine if it’s among family members,” Su Qing, who had become livelier recently, chimed in. “How about five cents?”

“Sure,” Su Xue supported the idea. “I haven’t spent the pocket money Big sister gave me!”

Su Wen felt that five cents was too little and wanted to suggest at least one dollar per session. However, seeing Su Xiu’s horrified expression, she had to settle for five cents. Despite the low stakes, Su Wen still managed to win. She won three rounds, and Su Xiu was on the verge of tears.

“Big sister, I’m not playing anymore. It’s evening time. I need to cook!” She hastily threw her cards away and fled.

“Hahaha…” Su Wen found Su Xiu’s reaction utterly amusing. “Su Qing, Su Xue, don’t be stingy. As long as it’s not wasted, you need to spend the money.”

Su Qing and Su Xue exchanged glances. They were curious about how their big sister defined non-wastefulness, especially considering her extravagant habits.

In preparation for their nighttime theft, Zhang Chunxiang scolded Su Pingping in the afternoon. By evening, the sky was dark, and the incessant rain had blotted out even the stars. Armed with a windproof kerosene lamp, the mother and daughter ventured out.

Along the way, Su Pingping dragged her feet and hesitated.

“I’m warning you. You better learn from me. If you don’t learn my skills, I’ll find a wealthy man and marry you off,” Zhang Chunxiang declared. She had a plan in mind and intended to inquire with Matchmaker Zhao in Plum Furrow about potential matches for her daughter, based on the highest dowry offered.

Fear gripped Su Pingping. She didn’t dare to provoke Zhang Chunxiang further and could only gather her courage to follow behind. When they reached Su Wen’s family’s vegetable garden, Zhang Chunxiang berated Su Pingping for her incompetence and asked her to stand guard. Armed with a snakeskin bag, Zhang Chunxiang stole eggplants, beans, and peppers.

Su Xiu and Su Qing took excellent care of the vegetable garden. Not a single weed marred the plot, and a variety of vegetables flourished.

“Are you done?” Su Pingping’s timid demeanour frightened her further. She felt as if someone lurked behind her. Gathering her courage, she turned around, but nothing was there. The wind rustled through the gra.s.s, yet she couldn’t ignore the feeling of a presence behind her.

Whenever she contemplated turning back, she recalled the ghost story she had heard from the old man. He mentioned that everyone had two invisible lights on their shoulders. Ghosts would not dare approach anyone with these lights at night. Looking back would extinguish these lights, putting them in a dangerous situation.

Yet, not looking back left her with an eerie sensation of being followed.

Su Pingping’s face turned pale as she terrorized herself further. She urged Zhang Chunxiang.

“Why are you in a rush?” Zhang Chunxiang, being experienced, was unperturbed. She was delighted because the vegetables in Su Wen’s garden were fresh and abundant. Initially, she planned to steal a few for their consumption, but she now reconsidered her intentions..
