Coincidentally, the village chief had two daughters and a son. Feeling sorry for the two, lonesome kids, he kept donating hand-me-downs from his children to the songstress. These clothes were never torn or tattered.
The funny thing was, the village head's son was only five or six years old, while his daughters were already twelve and nine respectively.
Hence, it turned out that the boy's outfits were far more suitable for Yun Shishi rather than little Gong Jie with her small build. In return, the twin brother could fit better with the girls' clothing. The sleeves would be too long for his sister but at just the right length for his lanky build.
Their mother thought they looked interesting with these outfits, so she got her daughter to wear the boy's clothes while her son wore the girls' dresses. She even got her girl a crop cut and braided the boy's hair.
