Lingsu finished cooking and came inside, only to see the two little ones sitting there, staring wide-eyed at each other. Little Five's eyes were still a bit red. Surprised, she asked, "What happened? Had a spat?"
"No way! Little Five's worried about the family income, so I said I could earn some silver, but she didn't believe me and got so mad her eyes turned red."
Lingsu was both amused and exasperated. She tapped her on the forehead, saying, "You little mischief. Why rile up Little Five, huh? She's always been a bit delicate, not as tough as you, and you just love to tease her. If you make her cry for real, wait till Mom comes home and gives you a beating."

Spirit Jade wiped her face and forced a smile. "I'm fine."
