Gazing at a face that, despite being swollen beyond recognition, still seemed prettier than her own, Tang Erya jealously said, "I hope it's ruined for good, so you don't go seducing little boys around seven or eight with that foxy look anymore!"
Tang Daya and Tang Erya were Tang Yushi's daughters with her former husband. After she remarried Tang Zhutou, they took the Tang surname and held a much higher status in the Tang Family than Tang Xin did. Many villagers who were out of the loop even thought these two were Tang Zhutou's biological daughters.
In front of Tang Xin, the sisters were relentless, each adding fuel to the fire with their words, which grew increasingly nasty and completely unbecoming of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls. It went without saying that they had learned this from Tang Yushi's unrestrained gossip.
