“Are you going alone or with your brother?”
She glanced at him, noting the hopeful expression on his face, and informed the others, “I’ll go with my brother because we’re heading to Uncle’s place.”
She was worried that he might insist on going together, but she would definitely choose her fourth brother as her companion.
Su Ping’s expression darkened.
Third Sister-in-law had decided to go with her brother, prioritizing buying yams for him after the deal was completed.
It was Su Ping who had introduced Third Sister-in-law to Manager Lin, and it was Manager Lin who had written the recommendation letter for their family’s benefit.
Yet, Third Sister-in-law seemed to be keeping the benefits for her own family.
His anger simmered, but he refrained from exploding right then and there, considering how well Third Sister-in-law treated Su Ning and Su Cheng.
Fuming, he briskly pulled the cart, walking ahead at a fast pace.
Su Ning and Su Cheng were left at the back, their assistance no longer required as the wheels spun rapidly.
“Second Brother, please slow down. You must be exhausted!” Su Ning called out, understanding why their brother was so upset.
They didn’t see anything wrong with Third Sister-in-law giving the yam-buying business to her brother.
Qin Zhenzhen caught up with them, sensing the need to provide an explanation.
She hoped to prevent him from confronting her brother directly, as it would likely lead to an argument between the two of them.
“Don’t misunderstand me. I am going to the county with my Fourth Brother, but I won’t delegate the task of buying yams to him.”
“If we strike a deal with the county pharmacies, we’ll need someone to purchase the yams.”
He paused and turned towards Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen continued, “Buying yams is a simple task, and Su Cheng and his sister can handle it.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s explanation cleared things up for everyone.
Su Ping was a straightforward individual. Feeling remorseful, he apologized,
“I’m sorry, Third Sister-in-law. I misunderstood you.”
“But if you do decide to assign the task to your brother, I don’t mind. After all, you’re the one who knows the value of selling yams.”
He had thought it through.
However, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but suppress a laugh.
She wasn’t certain if he was genuinely a good person.
Upon reaching the town, Qin Zhenzhen went to sell seasonings, while the three of them focused on selling the yams.
He was elated to have earned nine liang.
Qin Zhenzhen mentioned that the yams were dug by Su Ning and her brother, so she didn’t need the money.
Taking his brother and sister by the hand, he exclaimed, “Let’s go! I’ll buy you new clothes!”
Su Ning and Su Cheng hesitated. “Third Sister-in-law just bought us two sets of new clothes. Why are you buying more?”
But Su Ping remained steadfast. “Yes, Third Sister-in-law bought them, but I want to buy them differently. I worked hard to dig those yams because I wanted to purchase a new set of clothes for each of you!”
“As your Second Brother, I’ve never bought clothes for you, whereas Third Sister-in-law has. How can I accept that?”
Hence, Su Ning stamped her foot in frustration. “Second Brother, why are you so stubborn? Fifth Brother and I are still growing, and the clothes won’t fit us properly in six months.. Isn’t it a waste to buy three sets all at once?”
