บท 171: He Changming is Here

How could a person, who proposed marriage because of a sewing machine, come from a good family? Su Wen could not, in good conscience, entrust her sister to such a family. While she felt this way, Su Wen recognized Su Qing was an adult.

'We'll take things one step at a time,' she thought.

Wang Chunyan eventually left, allowing Su Wen to clean up the house. She put the sewing machine in Su Qing's room; it would double as a temporary studio when the time was ripe.

After the fight, Su Qing and Su Xiu were a mess; their arms were scratched, and their hair stuck out at odd angles. Su Wen prepared water for them to wash their faces and clean themselves. Then, she used a purple-colored disinfectant to clean their wounds.
