At this moment, he returned with two large bundles of yams, weighing more than 75 kilograms.
He had been standing at the door for a while and overheard everything Qin Zhenzhen said.
Was Third Sister-in-law still willing to come to him in the mountains?
Had he been mistaken in thinking that Third Sister-in-law didn’t reject him?
Su Ning hurriedly approached. “Second Brother, what took you so long? We were so worried!”
“Third Sister-in-law said she was coming with us to the mountains to find you!”
Qin Zhenzhen was rendered speechless. How could Su Ning lie like that?
Su Ping chose not to expose his sister’s lie. He set down the yams and smiled.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Su Ning went to fetch some water.
“Second Brother, come and clean up. We’re waiting for you to eat.”
“Second Brother, don’t bring so many home in the future. You can split it into two trips.”
“Don’t come home so late. We all get worried.” It was clear that Su Ning treated all her brothers well.
Her brothers all adored their sister.
Su Bin was no exception.
He knew that the male lead didn’t like Su Ning, but she persisted in pestering him and trying to set up the female lead. Nevertheless, Su Bin turned a blind eye.
Another market day arrived.
Su Cheng borrowed a cart from the village and loaded it with 150 kilograms of sundried yam slices, preparing to take them into town.
The people from Qian Village gathered around, curious about the spectacle.
“What’s that? Where is it going?”
“Oh, that’s the yam you dug before. Are you selling it in town?”
Su Cheng nodded. “Yes, we can sell them at the pharmacies in town.”
The villagers were taken aback. “Do the pharmacies in town really buy such things?”
Su Ning chimed in, “No need to doubt. We’ve already talked to the pharmacy manager. We can sell dried yam slices for 30 wen per 500 grams!”
“That’s a lot of money!”
“Why didn’t you tell us about this earlier?”
“We’re all from the same village. Let’s make money together!”
Some people appeared displeased.
Qin Zhenzhen retorted, “Weren’t you worried about starving to death before? If
I had told you earlier, you wouldn’t have believed me.”
A few villagers hurried back home and headed into the mountains to dig for yams.
Su Ning couldn’t help but remind them, “The pharmacies in town don’t need a large quantity. They only require 150 to 200 kilograms. That’s one reason why Third Sister-in-law didn’t mention it.”
“Oh…’
The villagers who were planning to dig for yams became disappointed.
However, Qin Zhenzhen assured them, “The pharmacies in town don’t need that much, but the larger pharmacies in the county might buy them without a
limit.”
“But I’ll have to go to the county to inquire about the specifics.”
“If the county pharmacies can purchase in larger quantities, I’ll tell you the digging and drying process.”
The villagers perked up, and some of them decided to search for yams in the mountains.
Qin Zhenzhen cautioned them, “If the county pharmacies aren’t interested, there’s not much we can do.”
“So let’s wait until I’ve spoken with the pharmacies in the county before taking any action.”
The villagers anxiously asked Qin Zhenzhen, “When are you going to the county?”
Qin Zhenzhen replied, “I’ll be going tomorrow.”
The villagers cheered in response.
“That’s fantastic!”
“If the deal goes through, we must thank Su Bin’s wife!”
“Su Bin’s wife, do you know someone at the county pharmacies?”
Qin Zhenzhen had to clarify, “The pharmacy manager provided us with a letter of recommendation..
