“I have an idea, and I’ll need your assistance, Fourth Brother…” Qin Zhenzhen shared her plan with Qin Silong, who nodded in agreement. “That’s a good idea!”
Not only would it help Su Bin and the others learn about their backgrounds, but it would also make Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion feel uneasy.
Most importantly, they wouldn’t reveal the secret that had been leaked by the siblings, ensuring they wouldn’t be punished for offending Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion.
Early the next morning, a crowd gathered at the entrance of the examination hall.
Similar to the modern-day college entrance exams, many parents and relatives came to see off their children and loved ones.
Once inside the examination hall, Qin Zhenzhen constantly reminded Su Bin and the others to stay calm during the examination to avoid poor performance.
The first day of the county examination lasted only one day, but she still brought lunch for them.
Due to the previous year’s bout of diarrhea, Su Bin didn’t have any side dishes with him; he only had a bowl of rice.
However, he was already waiting at the entrance of the examination hall.
Spotting him from a distance, she hurried over. “Third Brother, this is for you!”
Su Bin unwrapped the egg and coriander cake enclosed in lotus leaves and caught a familiar scent. “Did she make these?”
Su Ping nodded. “Yes, Third Sister-in-law did!”
Su Bin handed back the pancakes and snapped, “I told her she didn’t have to make them! ”
No matter what she did, he refused to acknowledge her as his wife.
Su Ping felt a bit embarrassed.
“Third Sister-in-law didn’t make these for you. She, along with her cousins and Second Brother, are selling them at the stall. I bought them from her for breakfast.
Su Bin was taken aback. This woman had expanded her business to the county?
Su Ping continued, “Third Sister-in-law is an excellent cook. But what’s even more impressive is the seasonings she creates.”
“I asked her about it, and she said that selling pancakes is secondary. Her main goal is to establish a market for her seasonings in the county.”
“So she sells egg and coriander pancakes alongside the seasonings. They have been attracting a lot of customers, and I don’t think they can keep up with the demand.”
“The seasonings are selling exceptionally well too. If she can sell her seasonings throughout the county, it would be more profitable than digging yams!”
Su Ping had noticed that the ingredients his Third Sister-in-law used and her preparation method were simple, yet the end result was unique and flavorful seasonings.
“If this continues, our family will undoubtedly have a better life.”
His siblings would no longer go hungry, and he wouldn’t have to worry about his brother’s school fees. contemporary romance
They might even persuade their brother to leave the entertainment industry and return home to join the yam business.
A bright future awaited their family.
However, his Third Brother hadn’t changed his attitude towards his Third Sister-in-law.
Su Bin understood what his Second Brother meant. He didn’t want the egg and coriander pancakes.
He opened Su Bin’s food basket and saw only a bowl of rice, which infuriated him.
“I know you don’t want to owe Third Sister-in-law any favors, but you need to think about yourself. It’s just one bowl of rice, and it’s not enough to provide proper nutrition. If you’re not properly nourished, how can you have the energy to complete the examination?”
“You’ve been studying for so many years to become a Cultivated Talent and rank at the top, right?”
“If you don’t have enough food to eat, you’ll end up crying in despair!”
Su Bin was startled. His Second Brother had never scolded him like this before.
Then, he placed the pancakes into Su Bin’s basket.
“Just consider it as Second Brother buying these pancakes for you to eat. You don’t owe anything to Third Sister-in-law.. You owe it to Second Brother!”
