Chapter 45: Change of Mind
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Cheng was watering vegetables in the backyard when he heard the commotion in the room, indicating Qin Zhenzhen’s return.
Curious about how his sister and Third Sister-in-law were faring, he entered the room.
“Third Sister-in-law, you’re back!”
Su Cheng’s tone sounded slightly awkward, showing that he wasn’t accustomed to interacting with Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen responded naturally, “Yes, I just arrived home, and I brought some glutinous rice soft cakes. Would you like to have some?”
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment before accepting one of the glutinous rice cakes.
The siblings exchanged a glance and headed to the backyard with their treats.
Whispering to Su Cheng, Su Ning said, “Fifth Brother, I informed Third Sister-in-law about our discussion.”
“Did she agree to help?”
Su Ning shook her head. “She didn’t give a definite answer.”
“She only mentioned that Second Brother might be able to recover some money. She even mentioned seeking justice from the village chief.”
“But since the village chief and our uncle are from the same family, they will likely be biased in their favor. Otherwise, we would have received at least one liang when the fields were sold last time.”
Su Cheng finished his glutinous rice cake in silence.
Then, he squatted down, covering his head with his hands, murmuring in distress. “1 don’t want to sell the fields anymore. These are the properties our parents left for us. I want to hold onto them. Without them, how will we sustain ourselves?”
“After we sell the fields, Uncle and the others will set their sights on our house.
If one of us falls ill, we won’t be able to protect our home…”
“If Third Brother can become a Cultivated Talent this year, and if he can become a Recommended Man next year! ”
In that way, nobody would dare to bully them anymore.
They would no longer have to endure such poverty.
Qin Zhenzhen, observing the interaction between the siblings from the window, overheard their conversation.
According to the book, Su Bin was destined to be disqualified and unable to become a Cultivated Talent this year due to a setup.
As a result, his family encountered misfortune, and his brothers and sisters faced hardships.
These were the direct causes that led Su Bin to turn towards evil.
Su Cheng added, “I have some savings, and with the half liang that Third Sister-in-law gave me, I have a total of one liang. However, it’S far from enough to repay our debt to Uncle’s family.”
“If we had treated Third Sister-in-law kindly from the beginning, and if Third Brother had treated her like any other spouse, she might have been willing to assist us.”
“Not necessarily. Didn’t she express her desire to divorce Third Brother? I don’t think she will help us.”
“We can harvest and sell the vegetables tomorrow, so we can earn some additional money.”
Su Ning furrowed her brow. “But there are already many people selling bags of vegetables, and they can’t fetch good prices. Besides, there isn’t much demand.
What should we do?”
“But we have to sell them; otherwvise, they’ll rot in the fields and go to waste.”
Su Cheng murmured as he went to fetch some water.
Qin Zhenzhen felt her heart soften. It pained her to witness this scene.
Su Ning and Su Cheng were incredibly understanding individuals.
They should not have been subjected to unfair treatment at such a young age.
She resolved to find a way to save them before they strayed further down the wrong path.
However, if she forcefully altered the book’s plot, would it trigger a chain of unforeseen consequences?
Could it potentially lead to a backlash against her?
Upon transmigrating into the book, Qin Zhenzhen had already altered the original plot, which would inevitably create a series of butterfly effects.
She would have to face the repercussions.
Considering this, Qin Zhenzhen had a change of heart.
She resolved to help them!
There was no need for her to borrow money from her maternal family. She still possessed over 10 liang worth of dowry, and she could assist the Su Ning siblings in earning additional income, which should be sufficient to repay the debt.
As for Ms. Lin’S demand to double the interest, 20 liang instead of 10 liang, that would depend on their ability to negotiate and secure a better outcome..
