The Peasant Wife Is a Lucky Charm

Save My Fifth Brother

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

She understood Su Ning’s intention. There was still some oil left in the pot, and it shouldn’t be wasted. It would be used for the pig’s food.

She recalled reading about this concept of making use of every resource in a book, which taught her about life’s ups and downs. At that time, she had found it amusing, but she never expected to face it firsthand.

Silently, Qin Zhenzhen washed the pot three times, ensuring that not a drop of water went to waste. Only then did Su Ning feel satisfied.

As Qin Zhenzhen was about to leave, Su Ning couldn’t help but remind her, “Aren’t you taking the eggs and flour back to your room?”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “No, let’s use them to make breakfast tomorrow.”

With the rice tank empty, if she stored the ingredients, what would they eat for breakfast the next morning?

Su Ning was surprised. “Really?”

But it quickly dawned on her that Qin Zhenzhen was trying to impress her Third Brother by making breakfast. She hadn’t woken up early to prepare breakfast solely for Third Brother. She wanted to taste the eggs and pancakes to see if the ingredients she bought were exceptionally delicious.

“Is it true? Why would I lie to you?”

That night, as Qin Zhenzhen lay in bed, she pondered over the events in the book.

After the original host’s demise, a violent conflict erupted between the Su and Qin families, resulting in the disability of the Qin Family’s second son. Eventually, the Qin Family acquired the Su Bin family’s house and fields, selling them for a substantial sum of money.

However, the Qin Family didn’t meet a favorable outcome.

The Qin Family’s fourth son joined the military camp and swiftly climbed the ranks from a decurion to a centurion.

There was a particular incident when they ventured into the mountains alongside the deputy general to eliminate a group of bandits.

During that mission, all of their comrades were killed, except for one sworn brother.

Qin Silong displayed immense valor and was rewarded with a promotion to chiliarch. He requested leave and returned home to bring glory to his ancestors.

Unexpectedly, both Qin Silong and his sworn brother, who harbored deep resentment towards the Qin Family, incapacitated everyone in the Qin Family using perfume and executed them.

Three or four years later, Qin Zhenzhen firmly believed that the most effective way to alter the fate of the Qin Family’s extermination was to divorce Su Bin as soon as possible.

However, the prerequisite was that they couldn’t offend anyone from the Su Family, particularly Su Bin.

She had a gut feeling that Su Bin’s retaliation would be even more severe than that of his brothers.

The next day, Qin Zhenzhen overslept.

It wasn’t her fault; it was simply a natural habit of her body. Once she fell asleep, she could sleep well into the late morning when the sun was high in the sky.

When Qin Zhenzhen finally woke up naturally, it was already late morning.

Su Bin returned to West Mountain College, while Su Qing went back to the theater. Su Qing resumed his hunting activities in the mountains, while Su Ning and Su Cheng ventured out to gather pig feed.

Qin Zhenzhen woke up and freshened up.

Upon noticing the egg and pancakes in the pot, she couldn’t help but smile.

People’s opinions could change. If she treated them well, they would reciprocate.

Although the eggs and pancakes made by Su Ning didn’t taste as good as hers, they were still satisfactory.

After breakfast, Qin Zhenzhen made up her mind to visit her mother’s home.

She needed to persuade her four brothers to grant her a divorce.

To prevent the tragic events from unfolding, she had to change the ways of her four rowdy brothers.

As Qin Zhenzhen prepared to leave, she spotted Su Ning hurrying back home.

“Third… Third Sister-in-law, can you save my Fifth Brother?”

Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “What happened to your Fifth Brother?”

“My aunt undressed him and tied him to a tree!”

Qin Zhenzhen felt bewildered. “Why did your aunt undress him and tie him to a tree?”

Su Ning proceeded to recount the events.

That morning, she and Fifth Brother went to the sweet potato field at the foot of the mountain to gather some pig feed.

They went early to cut the grass before other children could claim it for themselves.
