Su Ning and Su Cheng approached Qin Zhenzhen and handed her half of the money earned from selling yams.
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “Didn’t I tell you to give all the money to your Second Brother?”
Su Ning explained, “Second Brother insisted on taking only half. He intends to use the other half to buy clothes for Third Brother and his family. Third Sister-in-law, please accept the money.”
“You’ll need a significant amount of money in town!”
“We’re heading back to work in our hometown and eagerly await good news from you in town!”
With that, Su Ning pressed the money into Qin Zhenzhen’s hands and left with Su Cheng.
They were concerned that she might refuse their money.
Qin Dalong was astonished. “Your brother-in-law and sister-in-law are good people! Despite being poor and lacking money, they are selfless. They give you what they need themselves.”
Qin Zhenzhen stowed away the money, reflecting, “They truly are kind-hearted individuals.”
“I treated them well during this period, and in return, they treated me well too.”
“Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, come out and let me prepare lunch for you.”
Qin Dalong beamed with delight. “Alright!”
“What kind of meat would you like? Just let me know, and I’ll cut it as you prefer. ”
Qin Zhenzhen replied, “I won’t be having pork today. I’m growing tired of it. I’ll head to Second Brother’s place to cut some beef and buy vegetables.”
Qin Dalong chuckled. “Go ahead!”
Her culinary skills were improving, and she was preparing more diverse dishes.
They weren’t particularly fond of beef due to its peculiar taste.
In fact, the townspeople were not fond of beef either due to its expensive price. Beef was only available on market days, and even then, it was limited to two or three times a month.
Qin Zhenzhen headed straight to her Second Brother’s beef stall.
Although they had a store in the area, it had been rented out to someone else, so the beef stall was situated right beside it.
As Qin Zhenzhen approached, she overheard an argument between Second Brother and Fourth Brother.
She hurriedly intervened.
A thin man had come to purchase their beef but seemed to be seeking trouble.
First, he claimed the beef was overpriced, then he questioned its freshness, even insinuating that it might be dead meat.
The two other brothers, Erlong and Sanlong, were ready to teach him a lesson on the spot, but in Silong stopped them.
Frightened, the thin man quickly fled.
Qin Erlong frowned at Qin Silong. “Fourth Brother, what’s gotten into you today? That man was clearly being unreasonable, yet you stopped me from giving him a piece of my mind?”
Qin Sanlong shared the same sentiment. “Fourth Brother, have you lost your mind? Usually, you’re the first one to throw a punch, but now you want us to be cowards?”
Qin Silong patiently explained, “If I hadn’t intervened, things could have taken a turn for the worse.’
“Sure, you could have beaten him up, but what if you accidentally crippled him?
Or what if he recovered and brought his brothers back for revenge?”
Qin Sanlong and Qin Erlong replied confidently, “No matter how many people there are, they can’t defeat us!”
In a hushed voice, Qin Silong whispered to them, emphasizing, “No one dares to cross the four of us, but what about our family? We have young and old members. If we encounter someone ruthless who can’t confront us directly, they may target our family in secret.”
Erlong and Sanlong were taken aback when they noticed Qin Zhenzhen’s presence.
“Zhenzhen, what brings you here? Second Brother mentioned that your seasonings and yams are selling like hotcakes. Have they all been sold?” “Yes, they’re completely sold out. I’ve come here to cut some beef for lunch.”
“Alright, alright, feel free to cut as much as you need..”
