Yang Gan couldn’t resist interjecting, “In fact, you should express your gratitude to my niece!”
If it weren’t for Zhenzhen’s intervention, Su Bin would have struggled to defend himself.
They pondered who Su Bin had managed to offend!
It seemed that even his aspirations of becoming a Cultivated Talent were being thwarted.
Su Bin wondered if he would suffer the same fate as the previous year and fail to achieve his goal.
Yet, he had the audacity to look down upon Zhenzhen.contemporary romance
After Yang Gan departed, the two brothers exchanged glances.
“Second Brother, is he implying that we mistreat Third Sister-in-law?”
Su Ping corrected his younger brother. “He believes that your Third Brother mistreats your Third Sister-in-law.”
The entire family had embraced Zhenzhen as one of their own.
Su Ping proceeded to recount Zhenzhen’s recent actions to his younger brother, leaving him astonished. “If that’s true, then I will accept her as my
Third Sister-in-law!”
Only the Third Brother remained silent, withholding his thoughts.
He had traveled to the county to sell yams, bringing along money to support his brother for tomorrow’s examination.
After the county examination, they still had to proceed with another round of tests. Food and accommodation required funds. He didn’t want his Third Brother to endure another bout of diarrhea from eating street food due to financial constraints, as had happened last year.
He first visited his Fourth Brother, then the two brothers arrived to provide financial support to Su Bin. They hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events.
Su Qing chimed in, “Third Sister-in-law is a harbinger of good fortune for Third Brother. Without her, he would have fallen into that trap set by the woman of ill repute.”
Although he possessed a rough exterior, he wasn’t dim-witted. He clearly understood that his brother must have offended someone who was now scheming against him.
“You’re absolutely right, Third Sister-in-law is our lucky charm!”
“But who could be behind this plot against Third Brother?”
Su Ping speculated, “Could it be fellow students from the same college?”
“Consider this, our county is vast, and every year, thousands of individuals participate in the examination, but only a hundred can secure a spot.” “Third Brother was disqualified, which means there was one additional vacancy.”
Su Qing playfully patted Su Ping’s head. “Have you lost your mind?”
“There were a hundred spots! Did you go through all this trouble just to secure one less spot?”
Su Qing elucidated, “I’m not finished yet. What I mean is that after this person harms Third Brother, they might secure the first place!”
Achieving first place would bring rewards within the county!
Moreover, Cultivated Talents who ranked in the top ten for three consecutive examinations were honored as Best Performers.
Best Performers not only gained fame but also received a monthly stipend from the governmental office.
“That’s a possibility!”
The two brothers returned to their seats at the restaurant, ready to enjoy the meal.
Su Ping addressed Qin Zhenzhen, “Fourth Brother and I wanted to invite your uncle for a conversation, but he wishes to avoid suspicion.”
Su Bin glanced at his brother. Was he subtly indicating that he had accepted Qin Zhenzhen as their “Third Sister-in-law ?
He had never contemplated his own emotions before!
Qin Zhenzhen remarked, “We should have insisted, or I would have invited him to join us. My uncle has been immensely helpful today.”
Despite the incident with the pancakes on their first encounter, Su Liang hadn’t received any other benefits from Qin Zhenzhen. Yet, he had developed a favorable impression of her based on his Second Brother’s descriptions.
He smoothly referred to her as Third Sister-in-law.
“Third Sister-in-law, we owe a debt of gratitude to your uncle and to you.. If you hadn’t intervened with that woman, the consequences would have been dire…”
