Su Ning and Su Cheng waved their hands in refusal.
“Third Sister-in-law, the money is yours. We don’t want it! Without your help, we wouldn’t have been able to defend the wild boar!”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled and responded, “I divided the money so clearly because I want your Third Brother to understand that I’m not the sole contributor for redeeming the contract, and he doesn’t need to repay me.”
Though her voice wasn’t loud, it carried to the study.
Su Bin’s face revealed a mix of complex emotions. He couldn’t focus on the book in his hands any longer.
Did she do this because she didn’t want him to sell the jade?
Was it truly not part of a new strategy? contemporary romance
Regardless, when he returned to town, he intended to retrieve the jade.
Qin Zhenzhen handed all the money to Su Ning.
“Ask your Third Brother if he has enough money for the examination. If he doesn’t, you can use it for now.”
Happily, Su Ning carried the money to the study.
Before she could say anything, Su Bin pushed her away. “Return the money to her. Third Brother has enough funds for the examination!”
He didn’t want to accept Qin Zhenzhen’s assistance in redeeming the contract. If he needed her to pay for the examination, he would rather forgo taking it this year.
Early the next morning, Qin Zhenzhen woke up to find that Su Bin had already left for the town.
He hadn’t taken the money, yet he hadn’t insisted on returning it either. It appeared that he had listened to her advice.
This boy wasn’t completely stubborn.
It seemed like her plan was working out well. She intended to make him owe her a favor until his animosity towards her family was resolved.
They went their separate ways.
Su Bin would play the role of the villain, while she would portray the wealthy girl.
Su Ning asked, “Third Sister-in-law, are we still going to dig for yams today?”
Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “Yes!”
Su Ning and Su Cheng chimed in, “We’ll come with you!”
If they were lucky enough to accompany Third Sister-in-law, they might encounter another wild boar like the previous day, or perhaps even a wild hare today!
Su Cheng had already prepared the seedlings.
However, Qin Zhenzhen had decided not to use the spiritual water to lure animals into traps. It was enough as it was.
But she didn’t object to Su Cheng bringing the sweet potato seedlings.
After all, the leaves she gathered could entice wild boars into the pit, and the sweet potato seedlings were undeniably more enticing.
Su Bin pondered for a moment and decided to join them on the mountain.
He also wanted to learn about yams.
Qin Zhenzhen was a plump girl, and his Fifth Brother and Sixth Sister were just children. How many yams could they gather?
He wanted to see if he could assist her.
In his own way, he was expressing gratitude to Qin Zhenzhen for retrieving the contract for him.
As they made their way up the mountain, Qin Zhenzhen noticed a few boys from the village who were carrying sweet potato seedlings, heading up as well.
Undoubtedly, those boys must have had the same idea as Su Cheng—to use sweet potato seedlings to lure animals into the pit.
The news of Qin Zhenzhen using leaves to entice wild boars had spread throughout the entire village.
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled to herself but didn’t oppose them.
They could give it a try. If they failed a few times, they would likely stop.
If luck was on their side, they might even manage to attract wild rabbits.
However, Qin Zhenzhen had no intention of using the spiritual water to lure animals.
Instead, she planned to make them believe that she had simply been fortunate enough to attract a wild boar the previous day.
Once they reached the mountains, Su Cheng placed the sweet potato seedlings in the traps and began gathering firewood.
After collecting four bundles of firewood, he joined Qin Zhenzhen to dig for yams.
Winter was approaching, and soon the mountains would be blanketed with heavy snow. It was crucial to gather enough firewood during this time.
Su Cheng had heard from his sister that digging yams was no easy task. Even after half a day’s effort, they would only fill one basket to bring home. Therefore, he and his sister didn’t need to carry yams back for Third
