Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

Su Qiuyi heard the noisy noise outside and thought something had happened. He looked outside and saw many people gathered at the entrance of the cave.

"What happened outside?" she asked her sisters beside her.

Su Wenxing turned her head away with a look of disdain. "Your fellow apprentices are asking Dad to make wooden swords for them! Really, big sister, please don't chop their wooden swords with your sword. I'm afraid Dad will be too busy!"

"Why?" After hearing her younger sister's nonsensical words, Su Mingyue put down the half-mended clothes in her hand, looked up and asked curiously.

"I'll have to ask Dad to make me a wooden box when the time comes! Dad also promised to make me a wooden box, but now he doesn't have time..."

Since Su Laosan got the nails and tools, he has never had a rest.

Su Wenxing looked unhappy, but he would still glance at his sister's sword from time to time.

She loved the black sword so much that she always wanted to touch it, but her sister didn't let her move.

“Pfft…hahaha, that’s true! Then I’ll have to be careful not to damage his wooden sword.”

Su Qiuyi couldn't help laughing when she heard her little sister's words with disgust.

The younger sister is just like this. She looks down on her second sister for being stupid and dislikes her for always crying.

Now there is another thing that I dislike, and that is those men outside who are busy making wooden swords.

But looking at the little devil who was so hungry for the sword in his hand, Su Qiuyi found him so cute.

"Sister, how are you doing in your studies? Is it easy to learn?" Su Wenxing changed his disdainful expression and approached his elder sister to ask.

She also wants to learn, but her elder sister won't let her do any strenuous exercise. Although she thinks it's fine now, she has to listen to her elder sister.

Su Qiuyi took a deep breath, tilted her head helplessly, touched her little sister's head, and said helplessly: "I haven't touched a sword yet! I've been running or squatting all morning! These two legs don't feel like my own anymore!"

The little girl immediately gave her a leg massage, being extremely attentive.

Su Mingyue was watching from the side, somewhat disapproving of her elder sister's words, "Sister, why don't we stop learning? Look, the people practicing with you today are all men, not a single girl..."

"Second sister, please stop talking! I see that my eldest sister is so cool and heroic, like a heroine! What do you know?"

Whenever Su Mingyue opens her mouth, her younger sister will retort her, but due to her personality, she will not quarrel with her younger sister.

If she had said that, I would have just bowed my head and let it go, but she had no intention of bowing her head in this matter.

"Shouldn't girls learn embroidery or something? And then take care of their husbands and children? How can they get married after wielding swords and knives?"

As she spoke, her face suddenly turned red. The little girl, who was only twelve years old, was too shy to look at her sisters again.

Su Qiuyi nodded at the second sister's head and lectured, "How old are you and you're already thinking about getting married? What's wrong with being a girl? As long as you work hard, you're no worse than a man! You have to take control of your own destiny, so that you won't be suppressed by a man and suffer all kinds of grievances in the future! Do you understand?"

Su Qiuyi didn't dare to say something like "equality between men and women" which would destroy the ancient people's values. She knew that she alone could not change the views that were engraved in their bones.

However, she can change her two younger sisters, allowing them to become independent and not have to rely on men to live in the future.

"But sister, don't girls have to get married in the future?" Su Mingyue didn't understand Su Qiuyi's main point. She always felt that a girl's future destiny could only be controlled by men. If she met a bad man after getting married, or a bad mother-in-law, like Su Li, then she would only suffer all kinds of grievances and torture.

Therefore, what one should learn most is women's work such as embroidery and cooking, so that one can have a better life when he or she goes to live with the husband's family.

"Yes, girls will get married sooner or later when they grow up! But there is a difference between marrying and getting married!

For example, if you marry someone you love and that person also loves you, then your future life will be very different.

Also, if you are really unlucky and marry someone who treats you badly, you can choose to divorce and live alone! As long as you have a skill, you will never starve to death anywhere! A woman does not have to rely on a man to live her life! Do you understand?"

Su Mingyue took everything she heard, but she still felt that what her sister said was beyond her imagination and that she was a little bit rebellious against ethical principles.

But she thought about it but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Su Wenxing's eyes lit up and she nodded frantically, "I understand, big sister, you mean that if we don't have a man we like in the future, we don't have to marry. As long as we have the ability, we can live on our own, right? If I don't marry in the future, I also want to learn martial arts, swordsmanship, and archery. I don't like those mending things the most. They make my eyes dizzy..."

As the little girl spoke, she began to feel envious. In the past, she always felt that she was a little abnormal because she always liked things that boys liked.

But after hearing what her sister said, she suddenly realized that she could also live according to her own preferences. She didn't have to deliberately suppress her preferences or force herself to learn embroidery or other women's skills that she didn't like.

"Little sister, you just don't want to learn embroidery and are making excuses..." Su Mingyue said in a low voice.

She didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that her younger sister would get angry and start scolding her again.

"No, I just don't like it. I can't stand staying at home with an embroidery needle every day..."

"If you don't learn those things, you won't be able to make clothes in the future. What should you do?" Su Mingyue was obviously anxious, and her voice became louder.

Su Wenxing was at a loss for words to refute what his second sister said. When he turned around and saw his eldest sister, his eyes lit up.

"My elder sister doesn't know how to make clothes..."

Su Qiuyi was pulled out and was speechless.

She really couldn't do it, and she didn't expect that the original owner didn't know how to do it either.

I stared blankly at the little sister who was on the united front just now, and saw that she sold herself out like this.

Su Mingyue looked at her elder sister, her face showing helplessness and worry.

She just couldn't understand why, when their mother was teaching them three sisters needlework, the elder and younger sisters just couldn't learn it. They either pricked their hands or had to go to the toilet because they had to pee urgently.

Once he runs away, he won’t come back for most of the day.

Until now, the eldest sister still doesn’t know how to sew clothes. She gets a headache when she tries to learn it and just can’t learn it no matter what. She doesn’t understand why her older sisters just can’t learn such a simple thing.

"Well... if you can't make clothes yourself, just buy them! This road doesn't work, so take a detour! Although I can't make clothes, I can do other things! I don't lack clothes to wear!"

Su Qiuyi refuted her two sisters without any guilt.

What she said actually made sense, but in the minds of her two younger sisters, especially the second younger sister, it was wrong for a girl not to know how to sew.

Su Wenxing tilted her head and looked at her second sister. "That's right. If you can't make clothes, can't you buy them to wear? As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy them. Have you ever seen a rich lady make her own clothes?"

Su Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Then you have to marry a rich master and become a rich lady first!"

Su Qiuyi immediately followed up, "Why can't I become a rich woman by myself? Why do I have to rely on a man?"
