89 Jinx
It was better to believe it than not. If such a rumor spread, it would be difficult for the seven sisters to get married, and the villagers would condemn them.
âBig sister, Iâm not a jinx. I did not kill mommy,â Little sister Su looked at Su Wen pitifully, and her tears rolled down like beads. The more she cried, the sadder she felt. In the end, she wiped her tears and cried, âbig sister, I âŠdidnât intend to kill mom. I miss mom too. Iâm a jinx, an unlucky fellow. Boohoo⊠Just sell me! At least you can get some money, and I wonât be able to harm you anymore.â
...
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â Su Wenâs expression was tense, and she scolded her little sister, âwhat jinx? Unlucky fellow? Thereâs no such thing.â
âBoohoo⊠Everyone says that my mother died because of me, and so did father.â These words had been in little sister Suâs mind. Usually, she carefully hid them and tried her best to please everyone around her. She was afraid that she would be sold and live in self-blame for the death of her loved ones.
Sometimes, when she couldnât take it anymore, she only dared to hide in the quilt and cry. Now that her big sister had changed, her life at home had also changed for the better. She had a lot of good food, and her big sister treated her like the mother she had imagined.
She was so happy now! She was happy every day. She had also gradually forgotten all the blame, dislike, blame, and uneasiness, but todayâs curses from Gou danâs grandma reminded her of it.
Her mother was jinxed to death by her.
They said that her father had also been jinxed to death by her.
She was a jinx.
She was unlucky.
âBoohooâŠâ
Su Wen was heartbroken when she saw little sister Su crying so sadly. She tightly hugged her little sisterâs weak and pitiful body in her arms and comforted her softly, âBe good, donât cry. Gou Danâs grandma is talking nonsense. Our little sister is not a jinx.â
âBut mother died while giving birth to me. I killed mommy. She wouldnât have died if she didnât give birth to me. I ⊠Boohoo⊠I miss mommyâŠâ She had long understood what difficult labor meant. Father died at such a young age. They all said that father shouldnât have died. He died because of me.â
Su Wen cursed in her heart. âWho was so wicked to say such things to a child?â
However, she could imagine that her little sister was born with a reputation for jinxing her mother and father. Those who liked gossiping behind her would definitely not have anything good to say.
She had overlooked that people in the 1980s were still very superstitious.
âNo, no, it has nothing to do with you. I donât blame you at all.â Su Wen saw that her younger sister was out of breath from crying and was afraid she would suffocate. She couldnât help but shake her younger sisterâs shoulders.
âListen to me,â She shouted sternly.
Little sister Su was frightened and looked at her in a daze, forgetting her sadness.
âNow, you remember what Iâm going to say. Remember it for the rest of your life.â Su Wenâs face was tense, and her beautiful eyes were cold.
âBi⊠Big sister, go on.â Little sister Su shrunk her shoulders. She didnât know if she was scared or didnât want to make her sister angry, but she became the usual little sister Su.
âFirst, youâre not a jinx, nor are you unlucky. That is a superstitious belief. Youâll know when you go to school. Itâs all a lie to children. Youâd better be smart in the future. Donât just believe whatever anyone says, understand?â
âI understand.â Su Xiaomei sniffled. She wanted to say something, but she held it in.
Su Wen stretched out her right index finger and shook it. âSecond, father and motherâs death had nothing to do with you. They never blamed you. The people outside are talking nonsense. They are just jealous of us.â
