In the evening, several girls lay on the bed. Xiao Sanmei kept advising Xiao Simei, "When I go to the factory, you must take care of the fifth and sixth sisters. Don't go near Guoxing for no reason. Just listen to what Dad and Mom say and don't argue with them. We'll manage our own affairs."

Now that Simei is not yet fourteen. Even if Xiao's parents are anxious, they won't rush to arrange a marriage for her now. Let them endure a bit of hardship in life. After all these years, the sisters have endured hardships together. With her future salary, the sisters won't have a harder life than before.

This year's harvest is good, and Xiao's parents won't let the sisters starve. As for other matters, considering the personalities of the sisters, there's not much to worry about.

Thinking this way, Xiao Sanmei let go of her worries.

Xiao Simei nodded, "Don't worry, Third Sister. Even if Dad and Mom favor Guoxing, we'll pretend not to see it. Now that you're going to the county town, they can't force you to marry the person they choose. What else is there to fear?"

Xiao Wumei laughed along.

Hearing her sisters' words, Xiao Liumei suddenly whispered, "Third Sister, when you have money, can you buy me a piece of candy? Just one, so I can taste it." The little girl seemed very embarrassed and buried her head in the pillow after speaking.

Xiao Sanmei's heart felt a pang. "I'll buy it for you. When the time comes, I'll buy you a whole pack." All the good things in the house belong to Guoxing. Xiao Liumei is only a little over a year older than Guoxing. Watching Guoxing eat those good things, she can only silently drool on the side.

"Don't buy a pack, just one piece is enough..." Xiao Liumei hurriedly refused, knowing that buying candy costs a lot of money. Otherwise, Xiao Mu wouldn't often use buying candy to coax Guoxing. Candy is the best thing in the eyes of Liumei. If she can taste one piece, she'll be very satisfied.

With the anticipation of eating candy, the next day, the sixth sister, along with the fifth and fourth sisters, sent the third sister to the village entrance.

Originally, Xiao's parents wanted to send off Xiao Sanmei as well, but with Wang Wei around, they didn't dare.

Since the last incident where they complained, Wang Wei hadn't come to settle scores with them. They felt guilty and anxious, avoiding Wang Wei whenever they saw him, afraid that he might remember and come looking for trouble.

Wang Wei carried a large basket on his back, seemingly filled with a lot of things, while Xiao Xiao had her hands empty, not carrying anything.

This time, with the additional items, the time spent in the county town was longer than yesterday.

While the third sister went into her dorm to settle in, Wang Wei began to clean the room.

He first wiped the bed, then spread the blanket. Only after Xiao Xiao sat on the bed did he start to mop the floor and clean the room.

He had become accustomed to doing household chores, and he worked very efficiently.

Xiao Xiao sat on the bed swinging her legs, finding Wang Wei doing household chores quite pleasing to the eye. "How about I help sweep the floor?" Wang Wei looked so good doing it.

Without lifting his head, Wang Wei said, "You'd better sit quietly. I'll finish cleaning, and then we can go out and buy some things." Letting Xiao Xiao help might only make things worse; she could end up causing more trouble than helping.

Knowing that her ability to help was indeed questionable, Xiao Xiao could only nod obediently, "Okay then."

In Xiao Sanmeis dorm, there was already another girl living there. The room wasn't dirty, so she just tidied up her own bed.
