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 chiefâs 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 chiefâs presence.
Qin Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and came to a realization.
The village chief and Su Binâs uncleâs family belonged to the same sect. When Su Binâs parents passed 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 Binâs family.
âBrother, letâs go to the village chiefâs house together,â Qin Zhenzhen suggested.
She believed that with the presence of her four brothers, they would be able to persuade the village chief to assist them.
Upon reaching the village chiefâs residence, they found Su Cheng and his sister still pleading with the village chief.
âUncle Village Chief, weâre telling the truth. My Third Sister-in-law is wealthy and wants to redeem the contract,â Su Cheng pleaded earnestly.
The village chief seemed reluctant to hand over the contract.
Qian Dashanâs 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.
âYouâre just children, what do you know? Theyâve fooled you with mere words.â
âYour Third Sister-in-law was forced into your family, and your Third Brother doesnât even like her. So sheâs just a stranger to you.â
âThe safest option is to keep the contract with me, Uncle Village Chief.â
Qin Zhenzhen and her brothers listened attentively to their conversation.
The presence of Qin Zhenzhenâs four imposing brothers made the village chief feel increasingly embarrassed and fearful.
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. âSu Bin and I have a legitimate marriage contract, and we are a family. How can we be considered strangers?â
The village chief stumbled over his words as he tried to explain himself. âIt was
Su Bin who entrusted the contract to me. In principle, I only recognize Su Bin.â
Qin Zhenzhen sneered. âIâm afraid youâve already sold the fields before Su Binâs arrival. â
âDonât think Iâm unaware of your actions. Youâve already made contact with the buyers. Itâs the He family from Dahe Village, and theyâve agreed to inspect the fields tomorrow. Just like last time, theyâll pay the money and secure the land contract without the Su Familyâs knowledge.â
âWhat?!â Su Cheng and Su Ning exclaimed in shock. Wasnât the deadline three days away?
They were planning to sell the land within just one day!
âThird Sister-in-law, you have to retrieve the contract for us!â Su Cheng pleaded urgently.
Qin Zhenzhen nodded, giving them a reassuring look.
The village chief couldnât fathom how Qin Zhenzhen had learned about their arrangement with a reputable buyer.
However, he refused to admit it. âThereâs no truth to what youâre saying! Where did you hear this? Or did you simply make assumptions?â
Qin Dalong sneered. âNo one needs to inform us about this! We are good people, and the truth always finds its way to us!â
âMy sister is married into the Su Family, and she is an integral part of it. You will not secretly sell her familyâs land!â
âWe have already prepared the owed amount. We will pay the debts and retrieve the contract!â 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 Dashanâs home.
Qian Dashan and his family had no choice but to face the impending confrontation.
Qin Zhenzhen retrieved 12 liang.
âThis is the 10 liang I borrowed from your family, and the remaining 2 liang is the interest.â
Ms.. Lin shouted indignantly, âI told you that 2 liang should have sufficed, and
20 liang should have been enough!â
