Chapter 107: What Do You Want
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After being urged to make a decision, Qin Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and chose to do a favor.
“I understand your intentions, Uncle. As long as Su Bin remains unharmed, we won’t cause any trouble.” Yang Gan let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s good that you comprehend.”
Qin Zhenzhen cursed internally—she had better grasp the situation!
Being an official made it easy to ama.s.s wealth. Young Master w.a.n.g’s family would require a significant sum of money to support their son’s career.
In the evening, Young Master w.a.n.g approached Qin Zhenzhen and informed her, “Tomorrow, I will deliver the letter to my family and inform the villagers about the successful yam business.”
Qin Zhenzhen didn’t question the motive behind it but instead discussed the pricing with him.
“We should inform the villagers that we need to pay for the yams upfront. Additionally, we’ll need to allocate manpower for quality checks and transportation to the county. Let’s set the price at 25 wen per half a kilo, ensuring it meets the required standards.”
“If someone believes the price is too low and wishes to sell the yams themselves, that’s acceptable too.”
Su Ping nodded. “I will relay your message.”
After contemplating for a moment, he informed Qin Zhenzhen, “Yesterday, my friend and I followed Honglian to a house.”
“She never emerged from the premises. One of my friends and I stayed nearby, while the other sought a.s.sistance to capture Honglian and interrogate her.”
“But before nightfall, the guards stormed into Honglian’s house, claiming she was dead.”
“If my friends and I hadn’t reacted swiftly, we might have been apprehended by the guards.”
“We’ve been unfortunate to lose the lead!”
Qin Zhenzhen offered some consolation. “We are fortunate that your Third
Brother hasn’t been disqualified.”
“My brother will definitely excel in the examination!”
“In case anyone tries to frame my brother again, I’ve made up my mind to accompany him until the end of the examination.”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “How much will it cost?”
He had friends in the county, and they could even stay with Su Qing. However, once they reached the province, they would need to cover expenses for food and accommodation. and the examination would last a considerable amount of time.
The county examination would span one day, with the rankings announced three days later. The top 100 individuals would qualify for the provincial examination.
The provincial examination would take place ten days later, with rankings released three days afterward. Only those listed on the rankings would officially become Elementary Level students and qualify for the examination.
The examination itself would span three consecutive days, with only Cultivated Talents appearing on the ranking.
If they wanted to stay with Su Bin throughout this period, they would need to spend a month in the province.
It would be quite costly to sustain this arrangement for a month.
“After my third brother completes the examination, I will go and dig yams to earn more money. I can stay at the store and eat to my heart’s content…
Qin Zhenzhen interjected. “You’re not planning to bathe for a whole month?”
“I can clean myself by the river during the day,” Su Ping nonchalantly replied. Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but exclaim, “Let’s discuss this later!”
Once Su Ping departed, Qin Zhenzhen sought out her fourth brother for a conversation.
“Su Bin should be partic.i.p.ating in the county examination tomorrow. My concern lies with the subsequent rounds.”
“The situation has changed. They haven’t harmed Su Bin, and they won’t give up easily.”
“Should we accompany Su Bin to the province?”
“Following them to the province would incur significant costs. It’s not feasible.” “Moreover, we’re unaware of their intentions, so we’re in a pa.s.sive position.”
“I believe the best course of action is to expose the ident.i.ties of Su Bin and the others and inform the Marquis about his wife’s actions.”
Qin Silong agreed with Qin Zhenzhen’s suggestion.
“What do you propose we do?” he asked..
