Chapter 57: 20 Liang
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon the arrival of the four Qin brothers at the Su Family, Qin Zhenzhen instructed Su Cheng and his sister to fetch the village chief, Qian Youcai.
Su Ning and her brother explained that their land contract was kept at the village chief’s residence, as he had served as the guarantor when their uncle lent them money.
As the sun began to set, the villagers returning home from the fields indicated that it was an opportune time to find the village chief at home.
However, Su Cheng and his sister returned empty-handed, unable to secure the village chief’s presence.
Qin Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and came to a realization.
The village chief and Su Bin’s uncle’s family belonged to the same sect. When Su Bin’s parents pa.s.sed away, these individuals with the Qian surname joined forces to bully them.
If even their own uncles were so terrible, it was no wonder others harbored jealousy towards Su Bin’s family.
“Brother, let’s go to the village chief’s house together,” Qin Zhenzhen suggested.
She believed that with the presence of her four brothers, they would be able to persuade the village chief to a.s.sist them.
Upon reaching the village chief’s residence, they found Su Cheng and his sister still pleading with the village chief.
“Uncle Village Chief, we’re telling the truth. My Third Sister-in-law is wealthy and wants to redeem the contract,” Su Cheng pleaded earnestly.
The village chief seemed reluctant to hand over the contract.
Qian Dashan’s family had even made arrangements with the buyers of the fields. Qian Dashan claimed that they would receive a portion of the profits after the sale.
“You’re just children, what do you know? They’ve fooled you with mere words.”
“Your Third Sister-in-law was forced into your family, and your Third Brother doesn’t even like her. So she’s just a stranger to you.”
“The safest option is to keep the contract with me, Uncle Village Chief.”
Qin Zhenzhen and her brothers listened attentively to their conversation.
The presence of Qin Zhenzhen’s four imposing brothers made the village chief feel increasingly embarra.s.sed and fearful.
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “Su Bin and I have a legitimate marriage contract, and we are a family. How can we be considered strangers?”
The village chief stumbled over his words as he tried to explain himself. “It was
Su Bin who entrusted the contract to me. In principle, I only recognize Su Bin.”
Qin Zhenzhen sneered. “I’m afraid you’ve already sold the fields before Su Bin’s arrival. ”
“Don’t think I’m unaware of your actions. You’ve already made contact with the buyers. It’s the He family from Dahe Village, and they’ve agreed to inspect the fields tomorrow. Just like last time, they’ll pay the money and secure the land contract without the Su Family’s knowledge.”
“What?!” Su Cheng and Su Ning exclaimed in shock. Wasn’t the deadline three days away?
They were planning to sell the land within just one day!
“Third Sister-in-law, you have to retrieve the contract for us!” Su Cheng pleaded urgently.
Qin Zhenzhen nodded, giving them a rea.s.suring look.
The village chief couldn’t fathom how Qin Zhenzhen had learned about their arrangement with a reputable buyer.
However, he refused to admit it. “There’s no truth to what you’re saying! Where did you hear this? Or did you simply make a.s.sumptions?”
Qin Dalong sneered. “No one needs to inform us about this! We are good people, and the truth always finds its way to us!”
“My sister is married into the Su Family, and she is an integral part of it. You will not secretly sell her family’s land!”
“We have already prepared the owed amount. We will pay the debts and retrieve the contract!” Qin Dalong stated firmly.
Fearful of provoking Qin Dalong and his brothers, the village chief reluctantly took the contract and agreed to accompany them to Qian Dashan’s home.
Qian Dashan and his family had no choice but to face the impending confrontation.
Qin Zhenzhen retrieved 12 liang.
“This is the 10 liang I borrowed from your family, and the remaining 2 liang is the interest.”
Ms.. Lin shouted indignantly, “I told you that 2 liang should have sufficed, and
20 liang should have been enough!”
