The real trouble lay with Su Bin and Su Ping.
Based on the book’s portrayal, Qin Zhenzhen had developed a strong aversion to Su Bin when he exterminated the Qin Family.
There was no denying that Su Bin’s character in the book was cunning, sinister, and vengeful.
The original host had humiliated him greatly, and he held no forgiveness in his heart.
However, Qin Zhenzhen wasn’t completely lacking in confidence.

Qin Zhenzhen enjoyed a peaceful sleep in her own room.

But she couldn’t bring herself to share them with anyone else.

Ms. Yang remained unaware of this.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhenzhen returned to Qian Village.
From a distance, Su Ning spotted her and hurried over to greet her.
The young girl was clearly excited. “Third Sister-in-law, you’re back!”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback and casually asked, “Anything happened at home?”
Su Ning nodded eagerly. “Yes!”
Qin Zhenzhen paused. “What happened? Is it good or bad?”
Su Ning tugged her into the house. “I’ll tell you once we’re inside.”
They entered the room, and Su Ning proceeded to share the events that had unfolded.
After Qin Zhenzhen left her mother’s home the previous day, their Second Brother returned from hunting in the mountains, bringing back a rooster.
Su Ning and her brother informed Second Brother about Ms. Lin’s mistreatment of Su Cheng.

They demanded that Ms. Lin and Qian Erhu apologize to him in front of the entire village.
Tensions escalated, and the two families engaged in a heated argument.
If it hadn’t been for someone summoning the village chief, Second Brother and their uncle might have come to blows.
However, their uncle and aunt had already expressed their intention to sever ties with the family.
Furthermore, their uncle went as far as to declare that he would repay the 10 liang he owed to their uncle’s family, or he would use the remaining fields to settle the debt.
When their parents passed away, they had borrowed 30 liang from their uncle’s family, using the fields as collateral. However, since they were unable to repay the debt, their uncle ended up selling the fields.
Although they had sold the land for 100 liang, their uncle insisted that it was only 30 liang, which was the exact amount needed to clear the debt, leaving them with nothing more.
Earlier in the spring, when Fifth Brother fell severely ill, they had no money to afford a doctor. Desperate, they had to borrow 10 liang from their uncle’s family to save Fifth Brother’s life. Their uncle’s family agreed to lend the money only when they used the land contract as collateral.
Yet, less than six months later, their uncle demanded a repayment of 20 liang, claiming that 10 liang was the interest, and they intended to use the remaining fields as further collateral.
The value of their remaining fields amounted to at least 60 liang, but the land contract was in the possession of the village chief. If they failed to repay the money, their uncles would not hesitate to sell off the last of their fields.
Moreover, they would falsely state that they had sold the land for a mere 10 liang..
