Chapter 82: Deserved
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Ning and Su Cheng initially a.s.sumed that Qin Zhenzhen was simply planning to buy them some snacks. However, their expectations were surpa.s.sed when Qin Zhenzhen pulled Su Ning aside and said, “Then I will buy clothes for you first.”
“What?” Su Ning and Su Cheng were both taken aback.
Children from impoverished families could only hope for new clothes during the New Year. Some families were so dest.i.tute that they couldn’t even afford new clothes for the New Year celebration.
Su Ning and Su Cheng had never had new clothes for the New Year.
A child without a mother was considered insignificant, and a child without both parents was regarded as even less than that.
Su Cheng’s clothes were hand-me-downs from his older brothers, and Su Ning’s clothes were previously worn by her elder sister. They were worn-out and patched up.
“Third Sister-in-law, buying clothes costs a lot of money…”
Although Su Ning longed for new clothes, she still felt the need to remind Qin Zhenzhen of the expense.
Qin Zhenzhen generously replied, “You don’t have to worry about not having enough money. We can earn more once we’re done. We have multiple ways to make money.”
“Girls should be well-dressed, and boys should be well-dressed too.”
Qin Zhenzhen eagerly took Su Ning to buy clothes, with Su Cheng quietly trailing behind them.
He felt a rush of excitement at the thought of having new clothes. It wasn’t even the New Year, yet his Third Sister-in-law was buying clothes for them. It filled him with immense happiness.
However, it also felt somewhat unreal.
He hadn’t experienced such joy for a long time since his parents pa.s.sed away.
While Su Ning and Su Cheng were busy trying on clothes at the garment store, Su Cheng, who had been following them, quietly turned around and left.
Su Ping didn’t go up the mountain that day, nor did he come to a.s.sist Qin Zhenzhen and the others.
Qin Zhenzhen had made it clear that she only required the a.s.sistance of Su Ning and Su Cheng, not a large group of people.
Su Ping could discern that his Third Sister-in-law was deliberately excluding him.
She was willing to treat his brother and sister well, but she didn’t want to have any further interactions with him.
Perhaps that’s why he had wanted to fight with her brothers the other day— because he had been defending his own brother.
As he observed Qin Zhenzhen selling seasonings, pancakes, yams, and candied haws, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of shame.
He was their second brother and the eldest son of the Su Family, yet he had never bought any clothes for his brother and sister.
He realized that he needed to take action.
He decided to head into the mountains and dig yams.
He made up his mind to purchase a new set of clothes for his brothers and sister as a gesture of love and care.
Qin Zhenzhen used all the money earned from selling the seasonings to purchase two sets of clothes for Su Ning and Su Cheng respectively. The siblings couldn’t believe their luck as they returned home, clutching their new clothes and feeling like they were in a dream.
As they made their way back to the village, they encountered a group of gossiping women. Eager for information, they bombarded Su Ning with questions. “What are you holding? New clothes? Whose new clothes are they?”
Su Ning answered honestly, “Our Third Sister-in-law bought us two sets of new clothes each.”
The women were taken aback. “It’s not even the New Year, why would she buy them new clothes, and two sets at that?”
Even if she wanted to curry favor with Su Bin’s brother and sister, there was no need to spend so much money!
Qin Zhenzhen spoke frankly, “I buy them new clothes with the money I earn.
They have helped me tremendously, and they deserve it.”
The villagers couldn’t help but shower in Zhenzhen with praise.
However, amid the accolades, some couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
Why weren’t they as fortunate as Qin Zhenzhen?
Why hadn’t they encountered any experts who could teach them how to create and sell sought-after seasonings?
News of Qin Zhenzhen’s successful seasoning venture had already spread throughout the village, creating a buzz of excitement and intrigue..
