âSecond Brother Su Ning dug the trap, and we even baited it to attract the wild boars. We were the ones who discovered that the wild boars had fallen into the trap.â
âWe also killed the wild boar and brought it home.â
âLogically speaking, itâs similar to us going into the mountains to hunt.â
âBut Ms. Lin and her family clearly came here to steal. They failed to obtain the wild boar from the mountains, and now theyâre trying to claim it based on the rules set by our ancestors.â
âLet me ask you, Ms. Lin and her family are not qualified to share the pork!â
Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhenâs words, Ms. Linâs companions began to blame her.
âWe were deceived by you!â
âHow dare you bully them! Youâre their aunts! Shame on you!â
Feeling humiliated, Ms. Lin departed from the Su Family.
Qin Zhenzhen was pleased. Not everyone from Qian Village was unreasonable.
But that didnât mean Ms. Lin and her family could bully her either.
This was a world of reason.
The four Qin brothers divided the lean wild boar meat, which looked incredibly appetizing.
Wild boar meat was known to be more nutritious than that of domestic pigs, and it commanded a higher price in the market.
However, many people were curious about the price.
âThe wild boar is so substantial, and the meat seems quite robust. Whatâs the price?â
Qin Zhenzhen generously replied, âThe villagers wonât charge you too much. If youâre interested in buying, you can have it for 30 percent less than the market price. â
Offering a 30 percent discount would effectively bring the price in line with regular pork.
However, wild boars had a significant amount of lean meat, making it an obvious value for customers.
According to the original book, Su Binâs family had a strained relationship with the Qian Village. After Su Bin attained power, he refused to assist anyone from the Qian Village, going as far as relocating his parentsâ graves.
His uncleâs family did not receive any benefits, only facing punishment instead.
As a result, the people of Qian Village were apprehensive about seeking help from Su Bin, fearing humiliation.
The Qian Familyâs aversion to outsiders was largely influenced by Su Bin and his sister. Su Bin was viewed as a troublemaker who had offended many in the village. He held himself in high regard and seldom interacted with the villagers.
When Su Qing joined the troupe, she was looked down upon, her social status even lower than that of a poor farmer.
Due to the actions of their uncleâs family, Su Cheng and Su Ning were cautious around the villagers.
In the eyes of most villagers, they were not particularly favored individuals.
These circumstances were the precursors to Su Binâs dark side.
Qin Zhenzhen saw an opportunity to forge closer connections with the Su Family and the villagers.
Unbeknownst to her, she had already begun saving Su Bin and his family.
The villagers were elated upon hearing Qin Zhenzhenâs proposition.
Those with money readily produced it to purchase the pork.
âGive me 1 kilogram of the most exquisite cuts, ensure theyâre expertly sliced!â
As the saying goes, the pork should be visually appealing, and funds should be readily available.
With cash in hand, one could obtain what they desired.
However, the situation was different for those who wished to purchase on credit.
Those without immediate funds began selecting their desired cuts, fearing that the most attractive portions would be claimed before they could return.
âSu Binâs wife, I donât have any money on me right now. I promise to pay you later.â
Qin Zhenzhen smiled warmly. âAlright, no problem. Even if we run short on funds, we can put it on credit for now.â
The villagers without immediate funds felt encouraged.
âWe can put it on credit? In that case, Iâll have some wild boar meat too!â
âThe harvest season is approaching, and I wonât be indebted for long. Give me one or two kilograms..â
