Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Zhenzhen whispered to Su Ning, her voice barely audible. “I’ll tell you a secret. The reason the food tastes so amazing is because of a special seasoning I add to it!”

“Oh, really?” Su Ning exclaimed, her eyes widening in realization.

It had always puzzled her how the pancakes made by her, her sister-in-laws, and Qin Zhenzhen all turned out equally delicious. She had suspected that Qin Zhenzhen had added something special to enhance the flavor, and now her suspicions were confirmed.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Su Ning eagerly asked, “Third Sister-in-law, can you teach me how to make this seasoning?”

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head regretfully. “This seasoning was taught to me by an expert, and I promised her not to divulge the recipe.”

Disappointed yet understanding, Su Ning replied, “I see. Thank you, Third Sister-in-law.”

Although she felt a twinge of regret, Su Ning respected Qin Zhenzhen’s decision to keep the secret.

Having access to such seasoning would be wonderful.

“Third Sister-in-law, do you have enough of the seasoning?”

Qin Zhenzhen answered solemnly, “I’ve used up all the seasoning I had prepared.”

“But don’t worry, tomorrow I’m planning to venture into the nearby mountains to gather the necessary ingredients. They should be available there.”

Qin Zhenzhen’s words sounded sincere and genuine.

Excited by the prospect, Su Ning offered, “I’ll accompany you. I’m quite familiar with the mountains around here.”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “Sure, I also have knowledge of medicinal herbs. I can teach you how to harvest them and sell them to the pharmacies in town.”

“It’s much easier to make money that way than by selling vegetables.”

Su Ning looked puzzled and asked, “But isn’t selling pancakes an easy way to earn money?”

Qin Zhenzhen explained patiently, “Selling pancakes is labor-intensive and exhausting. Besides, we don’t have our own permanent store.”

She could borrow a store once or twice, but it wouldn’t be a sustainable solution.

Considering labor and store fees, their profit margin would be limited.

Qin Zhenzhen shared her plan. “The main reason I wanted to sell pancakes was to introduce and sell the seasonings.”

Understanding dawned on Su Ning. “Ah, I see what you mean, Third

Sister-in-law!”

Qin Zhenzhen spoke confidently, “Don’t worry, selling seasonings is much more profitable than selling pancakes. And it’s not as difficult as it seems.”

If she pursued selling seasonings, she wouldn’t have to rely solely on pancakes.

The four brothers of the Qin Family arrived in the Qian Village, dressed neatly and catching the attention of the villagers.

Whispers and murmurs filled the air.

“Look, it’s Su Bin’s wife’s brothers again!”

“Why are they here this time, after insisting on Su Bin marrying the chubby girl?”

“I bet they’re here because Uncle Su Bin wants to sell their fields!”

“Yes, that must be it. Last time, they sold their fields because of the mistreatment they faced. But now these four formidable individuals have come to their aid. It’s going to be quite a spectacle!”

Word of the Qin brothers’ arrival reached the ears of Ms. Lin’s family, prompting them to gather and discuss potential solutions.

Ms. Lin trembled with fear. “What do we do? Those four intimidating figures are not to be taken lightly!”

Were they expected to hand over the fields they were about to obtain?

Qian Dashan, maintaining a sense of composure, reassured them. “What’s there to fear? They have to repay their debt or provide collateral. That’s only fair!”

“I don’t believe the Qin Family will actually help them pay off the debt!”

“If they do come to repay us, we’ll insist it’s 20 liang, claiming it was a verbal agreement.”

“The contract is with the village chief, who happens to be our ally.. We just need to offer him some benefits, and he’ll undoubtedly side with us!”
