Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Dalong was once again taken aback. “You’re willing to use your dowries to pay off their debt?”

It was unlike their sister to make such a decision.

Qin Zhenzhen nodded firmly. “They said I can keep the contract.” With that assurance, the Qin brothers felt a sense of relief.

Qin Zhenzhen, Su Cheng, and Su Ning headed home ahead of time.

Once they were back, Qin Zhenzhen pointed at the weighty money bag and said to Su Cheng and Su Ning, “Organize the money, and when my brother arrives, he will settle the debt.”

“Okay!”

Su Cheng and Su Ning eagerly began counting the money.

Most of their earnings from selling the pancakes were in the form of copper coins.

Each copper coin was worth one wen, and 1,000 wen equaled one liang.

They planned to string the coins together to facilitate counting.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen went to fetch the pork bones.

She quickly blanched them in boiling water before simmering them in a pot.

Adding a few slices of ginger to the bone broth, Qin Zhenzhen then proceeded to the backyard to pick the turnips.

The backyard spanned about 400 to 500 square meters. Apart from some fruit trees, the space was predominantly used for growing vegetables.

It was evident that the vegetable fields had been repurposed from the flowerbeds, as traces of stone foundations remained. Along the wall, there were several beautiful roses and Chinese roses.

According to the book, Su Ting, Su Bin’s father, was not an ordinary person.

He had once been the heir of the Marquis’ Mansion in the capital. However, he began to suspect that his mother’s death was related to his father’s favorite concubine, prompting him to launch an investigation.

However, when Su Ting presented the evidence to his father, his father, blinded by his favoritism towards the concubine, refused to believe him.

To make matters worse, Su Ting’s maternal family chose to suppress their anger due to the Marquis’ family’s influence and power.

At the age of 16, Su Ting was in the prime of his youth. Fueled by anger, he made a drastic decision.

He publicly announced that he and his father were no longer father and son, effectively severing ties with the Su Family.

He resolved to embark on a solitary journey, intending to travel the world alone.

‘ITO years later, ne arrived at (Ilan Family Village and encountered a girl wno captured his heart. This encounter led him to abandon his plans of wandering and instead decided to marry and settle down in Qian Family Village, where he started a family.

Using the money they brought with them, they purchased fields in Qian Family Village, built a spacious house, and acquired stores in town.

They were living a comfortable life.

Initially, Su Ting harbored ambitious dreams. He aspired to establish his own sect through his own efforts and nurture exceptional children. It would be even more satisfying if he could attain an official position in the court and defy the Marquis’ Mansion.

However, reality proved to be cruel. As more children were born, he found himself selling stores and fields one by one to sustain their family’s livelihood. Furthermore, except for Su Bin, the other children struggled academically.

Su Ting could only pin all his hopes on Su Bin.

Yet, he remained firm in his resolve. He did not disclose his true identity to his family, informing the children that all their relatives in the capital had passed away, and their other distant relatives had distanced themselves from them

Su Ting contemplated that if Su Bin achieved success, he would eventually reveal the truth to his family. However, if even Su Bin couldn’t accomplish it, he would never disclose the truth.

However, he had never anticipated that his father’s favored concubine would take malicious action against them.

It turned out that three years after his mother’s passing, his father made the concubine his official wife.

As the official wife, she naturally desired more influence and control.

But her own son couldn’t inherit the title of heir.

Feeling remorseful because of his incompetent sons, Su Ting’s father, driven by guilt, dispatched individuals to search for Su Ting far and wide.

When his wife discovered this, she grew anxious and sent her own men to search for him as well..
