“By then, let Sixth Sister and the others tell Third Brother how much luck and prosperity Third Sister-in-law has brought to our family. Let’s see how Third Brother reacts,” Su Ping suggested, concerned that Su Qing might inadvertently spoil the plan.
He wasn’t entirely sure how to handle the situation, but he was convinced that Third Brother wouldn’t consider divorcing Third Sister-in-law until after the examination.
In half a month’s time, anything could happen, and Third Brother’s perspective might change just as theirs had.
Su Qing agreed, saying, “Okay!”
Having promised his Second Brother, Su Qing still felt the need to have a lengthy discussion with his siblings.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, the three siblings decided to persuade Third Brother to keep Third Sister-in-law at home.
The next morning, Su Ning and Su Cheng headed to the mountains to dig yams.
Qin Zhenzhen had gone to the town, leaving Su Ning and Su Cheng with a large patch of yam fields to take care of.
They began by cutting away the yam vines and clearing the area of other vegetation. Even though it was a public mountain, nobody would dare steal the yams when the vines were cleared.
Some villagers who heard about it early, like Su Ning and the others, targeted the areas with more yams and richer soil for easier digging.
The villagers who arrived later had to venture further away.
Su Ning and Su Cheng had a plan. After digging the yams, they would replant the yam beans on the yam vines, as Qin Zhenzhen had explained that they were the seeds for future yams.
Wild yams could only be dug after three or four years, but those they planted themselves could be harvested in just two or three years.
If possible, they could even start planting herbs in the surroundings.
Although Second Brother could not stay at home for a long time, Fourth Brother was no longer in the theater. When Fourth Brother’s legs recovered, they would have one more helper.
As long as they were willing to work hard, their life would definitely get better and better.
Thinking of this, Su Ning felt so happy that she did not feel tired at all.
The swelling on Su Qing’s feet had subsided, but Qin Zhenzhen still asked him to stay at home.
“You have not fully recovered from the wound on your leg. You should stay away from the mountain.”
Actually, Su Qing had a lot of things to do at home. He needed to wash the yams he dug back, slice them and dry them.
He stayed at home and worked, thinking that he could ask Third Sister-in-law about medical treatment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Qin Zhenzhen returned from the town, she bought many raw materials for seasoning.
As Qin Zhenzhen was busy making seasonings, she couldn’t go into the mountains with the others.
Qin Silong had come to help with the seasoning production, as per Qin Zhenzhen’s request, and he also brought the pork.
Since they had other tasks to attend to and were already engaged in the seasoning business with equal profits, they decided not to join the yam digging.
Before renting the workshop, Qin Zhenzhen had initially thought about bringing the raw materials back to her mother’s home. However, she worried that her grandmother might inquire too much, so she sought help from her Fourth Brother at the Su Family.
Qin Zhenzhen had already made plans for her future. Before divorcing Su Bin, she intended to establish her own workshop for making seasonings, soy sauces, and various sweet, spicy, sour, and salty sauces.
Once the workshop was ready, she could either move in or live nearby, making it easier for her to stay at the Su Family and avoid conflicts with her grandmother.
She didn’t want her grandma to be so suspicious of her, so she tried to find ways to maintain a harmonious relationship.
However, Qin Zhenzhen’s actions in the town became more and more legendary, and her reputation spread throughout Datong Town.
Grandma Qin rarely left home, but she seemed to know everything that was happening..
