Every morning, I go to the market to sell soy milk. However, I still enjoy pestering Sister about her story with that young entrepreneur. Sister says that the entrepreneur is very smart and capable. At a young age, he started his own company. He faced many difficulties, but he was undaunted. He gave it his all and brought the company back to life. He is truly impressive.
I said enviously, "Sister, he is really amazing." Sister smiled and replied, "Yeah."
"But, Sister, will he really pursue you?"
"I... I don't know."
"He definitely will." I clenched my fists. "Sister, you are so beautiful, gentle, and kind; how could he not like you?"
Sister gave a wry smile. "Zhao Di, you don't understand."
"What don't I understand?"
"Nothing." Sister changed the subject and asked, "Zhao Di, what do you plan to do in the future?"
"I don't know," I answered honestly.
"Don't you have any dreams?"
"My dream is to make a lot of money so that you can live a good life."
"I..." Sister sighed. "Zhao Di, I hope you are happy."
"I know." I smiled slightly. "Sister, as long as I do what I love, I'm happy."
"You mean..."
"I love making soy milk; I can make soy milk to support both of us."
Sister looked at me, her eyes red.
She patted my head.
"Zhao Di, you've worked hard."
"Sister, what are you talking about?" I complained.
"I'm your sister, and since you've been so good to me, I naturally want to be good to you too."
Sister smiled.
She took out a red cloth bag from the wardrobe and handed it to me.
I was surprised and asked, "What is this?"
Sister said, "Open it and see."
I opened the red cloth bag and was stunned.
Inside were many pieces of jewelry: earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and more.
I exclaimed, "Sister, how do you have so much jewelry?"
Sister smiled and replied, "I've saved it up over the years."
I was shocked. "Where did you get the money?"
Sister said, "I save most of my salary each month after paying for food."
Looking at Sister, tears welled up in my eyes.
Sister said, "Zhao Di, I know you like these pieces of jewelry. That's why I specially bought them for you as a dowry."
I wiped my tears and said, "Sister, I don't need it."
"How can you not need it?"
"I'm not getting married."
"If you're not getting married, how will you have children?"
"I..." I was at a loss for words.
Sister said, "Zhao Di, you shouldn't always think about me. You should also plan for your own future."
I lowered my head and fell silent.
Sister continued, "Zhao Di, if you have someone you like, just tell Sister. I'll help you with it."
I pouted and said, "I don't have anyone I like."
"Then what are you planning to do?"
"I'll just stick with Sister."
"That's nonsense."
"Anyway, I don't care. If no one wants me, I'll just stick to Sister."
"You..."
Sister shot me a glare.
I grinned cheekily.
I wrapped my arm around Sister's and said, "Sister, how about this: after that young entrepreneur marries you, I can sell soy milk outside his door and eavesdrop?"
Sister hit me in annoyance.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
I stuck out my tongue.
I glanced out the window at the darkening sky and said, "Sister, it's late. Let's go to sleep."
"Mm."
Sister and I lay down.
Just as I closed my eyes, I suddenly saw a shadow flash by outside the window.
I opened my eyes wide.
I quietly took my phone out from under the pillow and switched to video mode.
Then, I pretended to be asleep.
After a few minutes, the window slowly creaked open, and a shadow jumped in.
The shadow tiptoed to the bedside and reached out towards my neck.
I reacted quickly, pulling out a pair of scissors from under the pillow, aiming at the shadow, and shouted, "Thief!"
The shadow was startled, stumbled, and fell right out of the yard.
Sister panicked and braced herself against the door.
I ran to the window, leaned out, and shouted outside, "Thief! There's a thief!"
The neighbors turned on their lights one by one.
