Chapter 140: Same
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The dinner was very sumptuous. There was chicken, rabbit meat, and braised pork.
They had been in a good mood, before Ms.Lin and Qian Dashan arrived.
Ms.Lin and Qian Dashan could not help but drool seeing so much meat on the table.
But they were not yet hick-skinned enough to sit there and start to eat.
They could not wait to tell them what they were here for.
“We received the news too late, and by the time we went up to the mountains, the yam fields were already taken over.”
“We were hoping you could share some with us, considering you have so much.”
Su Cheng was quick to object, “No way! We don’t even have enough for ourselves!”
They weren’t asking for yams to be dug up for them; they intended to claim the land for themselves. The plot was not only fertile but also conveniently close to the village.
Su Cheng had a plan in mind. Once all the yams were dug up, he intended to replant the entire hill.
Ms. Lin raised her voice when her request was turned down. “You only have two children at home, how much can you dig? Are you going to give them away to others? Why not give them to us? After all, we are your uncles and aunts!”
Su Cheng replied, “Who says it’s only my sister and I who can do the digging?
Ms. Lin’s voice grew louder. “Of course not! Your Second Brother has his mind set on leaving, and he said he’ll be gone in a few days. Your Fourth Brother needs to do the theater, Third Brother needs to study, and your Third Sister-in-law needs to stay home and buy yams, am I right?”
Su Ning disagreed, “You’re mistaken! Even if Second Brother wants to go out, we still have Fourth Brother and Sister at home!”
Ms. Lin shot a cold glance at Su Lan – she had heard about the divorce. That was the real reason they had come tonight.
Ms. Lin’s initial concern had been about Su Lan marrying a Cultivated Talent, but now she appeared to be here to take yams from them?
With a disdainful sneer, Ms. Lin addressed Su Lan, “The Qian Family has never had a daughter who married someone and then returned to live in the village. You’re aware of that, aren’t you?”
She continued, “But since you’re divorced and in a pitiful state, if you want to move back to the village, you’ll need us to talk to the village chief on your behalf! ”
In other words, they were refusing to help them unless they received some yams in return.
Su Bin observed them with a cold expression and responded firmly, “I remember the rules of the Qian Village, and there is no such rule that forbids a daughter who married outside the village from living here!”
“Also, my sister doesn’t have a separate household for the time being.” “So you don’t have to worry about my sister moving back to the village!”
“You don’t even need to think about the yam fields. We have enough labor forces at home.”
He had memorized the rules of the Qian Village so well. It was so funny that they tried to tell him what the rules were.
But when he made it with his examination, everything would be much easier.
Qin Zhenzhen added. “Even if we want to give it to someone else, you would not be the choice!”
She had not forgotten that Ms.Lin tried to push her into the trap when she came to fight for the wild boar.
Ms. Lin snapped. “Don’t be so ungrateful! We took care of you when your parents died!”
Su Ping stood up angrily. “Shut up! You know pretty well how you took care of us!”
“Just a few days ago, you even wanted to sell the remaining fields of our family!”
“Don’t force me to slap you!”
As his anger rose, he was on the verge of confronting Ms. Lin and Qian Erhu when Ms. Lin accused his Fifth Brother of stealing corn.
Not wanting the situation to escalate further, Qian Dashan, who had remained silent until now, intervened and forcefully pulled his wife out of the yard.
As they walked away, Qian Dashan scolded her, “I told you to speak politely, but you’re still acting the same way as before!”
