Qin Zhenzhen concurred with Su Bin’s decision, comprehending the nuanced manner in which he managed affairs.
Undoubtedly, Su Bin assumed the role of the antagonist within the narrative.
His demeanor exhibited traits of narrow-mindedness, vindictiveness, suspicion, ruthlessness, dominance, and control.
Yet, he also displayed a hint of cunning, decisiveness, and adeptness in adopting alternative perspectives to address challenges.
Illustratively, when faced with the situation involving Qian Shanmin and his sister, he devised an unconventional approach to assess Qian Shanmin’s intentions.
His motivation, however, was rooted in his sister’s well-being.

Evidently, Qian Dashan and his family were amongst the first to arrive.
Dragging Su Bin’s grandmother along, Ms. Lin and Qian Dashan made an arduous journey to his abode.
Upon their arrival, she was visibly breathless.
Motivated solely by their own gain, Ms. Lin and Qian Dashan displayed a conspicuous disregard for their mother’s welfare.
Even though Su Bin had previously declined their proposal, they persisted in their pursuits.
Qian Dashan, with lowered head and humility, implored, “Su Bin, your family leads a prosperous life in town. I beseech you to show compassion for Uncle and our family. Considering your grandmother’s kind treatment of you, we entreat you to bestow upon us the yam fields in the mountains.”
“In turn, we shall take over the yam trade, a gesture that would evoke our profound gratitude.”
“We shall also cultivate your fields and rent them, as before, whilst attending to your household.”
“Regard it as an act of filial piety towards your grandmother, and an act of mercy towards your cousin Erhu, enabling him to secure meaningful employment and a prospective spouse, preventing his future bereft of companionship.”
“Failure to secure a spouse would invariably lead to your grandmother’s departure with unresolved regrets!”
Qian Dashan’s audacity in uttering such words was truly astounding.
However, let’s delve into Su Bin’s character.
He loomed as the family’s principal antagonist!
Observing Qian Dashan’s theatrics akin to a spectator at a performance, Su Bin promptly rejected him with succinct retorts.
“Entertain no thoughts about what rightfully belongs to us. Unless your cognitive faculties fail you utterly!”
“Recall your past transgressions. We shall not bestow our treasures upon strangers!”
“Persist in tormenting grandma, and I shall not hesitate to lodge a formal complaint of elderly maltreatment with the authorities!”

Upon this firm rebuttal, Qian Dashan and his kin departed from Su Bin’s abode.
Next in line were the village chief’s progeny, spanning three generations, all having held the mantle of village leadership.
The village chief visited Su Bin’s dwelling with a dual purpose—to secure the expanse of yam fields and to procure yams.
Addressing Su Bin, he evoked their shared history, saying, “When your father entered the Qian Family’s village, it was my own father who extended a hospitable hand. He rendered aid tirelessly. Considering our historical camaraderie, could you perhaps contemplate relinquishing the yam fields nestled in the mountains…’
“Our forebear divulged every detail to us, etched indelibly in our memory.”
Yet, Su Bin’s patience waned, and he preemptively halted the chief’s appeal. “Perchance, the village chief has misconstrued our intentions. While we depart for town the day after tomorrow, we have never intimated a permanent absence.”
“Parting with the mountain yam fields and engaging in yam slice transactions is not feasible.
The village chief’s countenance clouded with disappointment, accompanied by a tinge of skepticism. “Are you not planning to return to the Marquis Mansion?”
Su Bin responded, “Our intentions regarding the Marquis Mansion are irrelevant.’
“When our father embraced the Qian Family, it was undoubtedly due to the allure of these picturesque mountains and crystalline waters. The inhabitants are unpretentious, and the village chief, a man of reason..”
