From then on, Su Yunjin no longer made clothes for Su Xiaobao, letting her second sister and Mrs. Shen do it instead. Su Yunjin's embroidery skills were poor, and both Mrs. Shen and Su Ningxiu, fearful that Su Yunjin would waste fabric and thread, did not let her do the work. Of course, Mrs. Shen still wanted Su Yunjin to learn needlework later on, as it was expected for women to sew when they got married.
Poor needlework simply wouldn't do.
For Su Yunjin's future consideration, needlework was an essential skill to master. Su Yunjin did learn, but even when she took it seriously, her needlework was only mediocre.
Unlike Su Ningxiu, whose needlework was quite impressive. The mother and daughters had been sitting together for a while when Mrs. Shen said she wanted to leave, but Su Ningxiu planned to stay for a couple of days at her younger sister's home to accompany her and talk more.
Su Ningxiu wanted to stay.
Mrs. Shen agreed to her wish.
