Chapter 53: Evil People
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a satisfying lunch, the sun began its descent, signaling the approaching end of the day.
Su Ning and her brother started to pack up, ready to head home.
Qin Dalong pulled out a piece of meat for Qin Zhenzhen. “I saved this for you.
You’ve worked so hard for so long. You deserve a reward.”
Qin Zhenzhen didn’t refuse his gesture but replied, “Thank you, Elder Brother. However, you should weigh it first, and I’ll pay you according to the market price. ”
Qin Dalong chuckled. “Great! My sister is so capable that I don’t have to worry about collecting payment!”
Whenever Qin Zhenzhen brought meat back to the Su Family, she never gave them any money.
Qin Dalong and his brothers weren’t stingy, but they appreciated their sister’s initiative to offer money. It showed that she had become responsible.
Qin Zhenzhen pointed at the bones and added, “Please give me 500 grams of these as well. It’s hot in autumn, and they can be used to make turnip soup.”
She had heard that in ancient times, no one wanted pork bones. They were considered undesirable.
Poor families would only consume meat occasionally, and when they did, they preferred cuts that were fatty and lean.
Who would spend money on bones like these?
Moreover, people in ancient times didn’t know how to make soup with pork bones.
As a result, no one cared about pork bones.
The price of bones gradually dropped, almost to the point of being given away for free.
Qin Dalong tied two pork ribs together with straws.
“The bones don’t count as money. If you like them, you can come and get them every day. Consider it a small bonus.”
“They’re not worth anything anyway,” Qin Dalong remarked nonchalantly. Occasionally, when no one wanted them, they would toss the bones for the dogs to consume.
Qin Zhenzhen didn’t insist on paying but simply chuckled. “Come to the Su Family this afternoon and try my turnip soup. It’ll make you realize that bones are not worthless.”
They used pig fan bones to make radish soup, which turned out to be exceptionally flavorful. If they added a few drops of spiritual water, they would claim it was so delicious that it made their tongues dance with joy.
Qin Erlong laughed. “If you’re making radish soup, we’ll definitely drop by.”
Qin Zhenzhen continued, “The turnip soup is just a bonus. Actually, I need your help with something.”
Su Ning’s eyes sparkled. She tugged at Su Cheng’s clothes and whispered,
“Third Sister-in-law is definitely going to help us…”
As expected, Qin Zhenzhen recounted the instances of Ms. Lin and her family mistreating the Su Family.
The Qin brothers were filled with anger upon hearing this. “How outrageous! How can there be such wicked people in this world!” It was even worse than forcing Su Bin to marry their sister! “Borrowing 10 liang and returning 20 liang? Are they trying to rob us?”
“Uncle! Relatives like him should be disowned by the family!”
How dare they steal the Su Family’s land? In essence, they were stealing their sister’s land!
They couldn’t let this slide.
“Zhenzhen, don’t worry. Leave this to me!”
Qin Erlong was a hotheaded man, ready to accompany Qin Zhenzhen to Qian Village right away.
However, Qin Sanlong intervened. “Second Brother, we’re covered in filth and smell like pork. Let’s go home, wash ourselves, and change into clean clothes so we won’t embarra.s.s Zhenzhen.”
He added, “Also, we should gather all four brothers to accompany us. We can even bring our fourth brother along to make a stronger impression.”
“The Su Family still owes them 10 liang, correct? We need to prepare ourselves and retrieve the contract,” Qin Erlong a.s.serted.
Qin Zhenzhen replied confidently, “I have the money. My dowries and the proceeds from selling the pancakes are sufficient to repay them.”
The three brothers turned their attention towards Qin Zhenzhen. “Using your dowries? Are you truly willing to do that?”
She hadn’t even used any of it to purchase rice, and now she was willing to offer everything?
