Chapter 195: Cultivated Talent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The villagers were all feeling emotional. They had not expected Su Bin’s attitude towards his wife to change so drastically.
Before Su Bin became a Cultivated Talent, he used to ignore his wife, refusing to go home or share a room with her. However, after achieving his Cultivated Talent status, he seemed to grow even more arrogant, yet surprisingly, he started accepting his wife.
Qin Zhenzhen was indeed a wife who brought fortune to the family, and Su Bin believed that too. Otherwise, why would he have a sudden change of heart?
There was another intriguing reason—the rumor that Qin Zhenzhen’s grandma was from the prestigious Jiang Family in the capital, and she had passed down all her exceptional skills to Qin Zhenzhen. Many believed it to be true.
This fueled the notion that Su Bin had become a snob.
However, the villagers were merely speculating and refrained from speaking such thoughts aloud.
Qin Zhenzhen, on the other hand, couldn’t bear it any longer. Her face flushed with frustration as she glared at Su Bin. “How can you say that?”
She had intended to caution him not to overplay the act, but with so many people around, she held her tongue.
Sensing her discomfort, Su Lan stepped in and pulled Qin Zhenzhen into the room. “Third Sister-in-law, you must be tired after such a long trip. Go back to your room and take a rest.”
The dinner was quite sumptuous, featuring a spread of pork, chicken, and wine.
Su Lan graciously assisted Grandma, who was moved to tears by the occasion. She tightly grasped Su Bin’s hands, urging him, “You have to treat your wife well!”
Su Bin nodded earnestly and replied, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I will definitely treat her well.”
Grandma, with warmth in her eyes, took hold of Qin Zhenzhen’s hands, expressing her gratitude, “Thank you for saving this family, my good granddaughter-in-law!”
Qin Zhenzhen tried to downplay the praise, saying, “Grandma, you are exaggerating…”
Grandma insisted with certainty, “Grandma might be blind, but she is not deaf. She heard what the villagers said. It’s all because of you that the Su Family is thriving, and Su Bin has achieved Cultivated Talent status!”
“You come from a noble family, yet you don’t even look down on Su Bin…”
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the continued compliments, Qin Zhenzhen modestly responded, “Grandma, please don’t say that. It is my honor to be part of the Su Family. My husband is immensely talented, and I believe he will soon rank at the top of the list. I have no right to look down on him.”
Su Bin couldn’t help but smile, clearly pleased with his wife’s response.
Grandma looked proud and beamed with joy. “Of course, Su Bin is a very good child too.”
Su Lan chimed in with a smile, “Enough talk about who is better. In my opinion, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are a perfect match, just like a golden couple. They are truly made for each other!”
Her comment brought laughter and agreement from everyone present.
“You’re absolutely right!”
The entire family celebrated Su Bin’s remarkable achievement of becoming a Cultivated Talent.
During their one-month stay in the prefecture, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin were happily settling in. Before the meal, Su Qing caught Qin Zhenzhen up on what had happened in the past month.
They had successfully cultivated a large field of yams, and with their sister’s help, they were nearly finished with the digging. Their next step was to organize the entire hill and plan for planting yam beans in the coming spring.
Due to his Second Brother’s injury, Su Qing had entrusted the task of purchasing yams to him. Surprisingly, despite being usually hot-tempered, Second Brother handled everything in an orderly manner. Not only did he ensure strict quality checks, but he also meticulously recorded the numbers. During this period, they successfully delivered the goods to the county three times. After the initial trip with Qin Zhenzhen’s Elder Brother, Su Qing handled the subsequent deliveries single-handedly.
The owner of the pharmacy proved to be a genuinely pleasant individual. He promptly paid for the goods during the first visit, and they only had to dip into the capital left by Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen on one occasion..
