It was a pity that the clever ones in the novel were too young to effect change while the honest ones were too easily tricked by the original and Zhao Jiangang. Each tragedy was more horrific than the last. Su Xue was forced to marry a man in his fifties, which was, by far, the least traumatic ending.
Su Qing, Su Xiu, Fifth Sister, and Sixth Sister all died in the springtime of their youth.
Meanwhile, Little Sister Su was sold, her life after that remaining a mystery as the novel did not mention her again.
"Right!" When Su Wen thought of her younger sisters' endings, she could not help but think of Su Xuefang and Shi Caiyue. "Tomorrow is Sunday. I think Auntie will be coming over. After dinner, hide everything that can be hidden. Don't leave anything valuable where she might see it. That means things like the bicycle need to be stowed away."
