“Second 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.”
“We also killed the wild boar and brought it home.”
“Logically speaking, it’s similar to us going into the mountains to hunt.”
“But Ms. Lin and her family clearly came here to steal. They failed to obtain the wild boar from the mountains, and now they’re trying to claim it based on the rules set by our ancestors.”
“Let me ask you, Ms. Lin and her family are not qualified to share the pork!”
Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s words, Ms. Lin’s companions began to blame her.
“We were deceived by you!”
“How dare you bully them! You’re their aunts! Shame on you!”
Feeling humiliated, Ms. Lin departed from the Su Family.
Qin Zhenzhen was pleased. Not everyone from Qian Village was unreasonable.
But that didn’t 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.
“The wild boar is so substantial, and the meat seems quite robust. What’s the price?”
Qin Zhenzhen generously replied, “The villagers won’t charge you too much. If you’re interested in buying, you can have it for 30 percent less than the market price. ”
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 Bin’s 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 parents’ graves.
His uncle’s 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 Family’s 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 uncle’s 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 Bin’s 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 Zhenzhen’s proposition.
Those with money readily produced it to purchase the pork.
“Give me 1 kilogram of the most exquisite cuts, ensure they’re expertly sliced!”
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.
“Su Bin’s wife, I don’t have any money on me right now. I promise to pay you later.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled warmly. “Alright, no problem. Even if we run short on funds, we can put it on credit for now.”
The villagers without immediate funds felt encouraged.
“We can put it on credit? In that case, I’ll have some wild boar meat too!”
“The harvest season is approaching, and I won’t be indebted for long. Give me one or two kilograms..”
