Before Qin Zhenzhen could even inquire, Su Lan preemptively shared her thoughts.

Ive given it thorough consideration. Even if I were to return to the Marquis Mansion and have my status elevated, Id still be a farmers wife.

Im oblivious to the ways of affluent women in towntheir customs and protocols are foreign to me.

Even if I were to marry into wealth someday, theres no a.s.surance they wouldnt disdain me.

Uniting with Xiaoyu is an even more formidable challenge.

Furthermore, opulent men often keep multiple wives and concubines. I abhor the idea of women vying for one man.

Id rather reside in Qian Village, continuing as a farmers wife.

Brother Shanmin is a steadfast soul. I have faith that after were married, hell treat us kindly. With diligence, we can undoubtedly lead a good life. Im not preoccupied with opulence. All I yearn for is a tranquil existence.

Moreover, even in Qian Village, sustenance cant solely come from tilling the fields. Brother Shanmin has worldly experience and desires to delve into commerce.

Observe the villagers from several hamlets harvesting yams in the mountains. Theyve sculpted the hillsides into ridges post-harvest and intend to cultivate yams come spring.

If our villagers can cover the nearby mountains with yam crops, our yield will burgeon.

Well have a steady source of yams to purchase.

At any rate, my resolve is firm. Once Brother Shanmin returns, Ill express my decision unequivocally-I wont venture to town. Im ready to be his wife.

I hope you can support my choice.

Su Bin and the others had no objections to Su Lans p.r.o.nouncement.

All eyes turned to Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen, their gazes expectant for a response. These two were the familys pillars of strength.

Qin Zhenzhen, much like Su Bin, held concerns. She worried that Brother Shanmin might perceive himself as inadequate for her sister, leading him to opt for another woman. Such a scenario would undoubtedly cause her sister further distress.

Yet, the flip side was that if Brother Shanmin didnt consult her sister, he might a.s.sume hes not in her league and change his mind. Such wavering wasnt a desirable trait either.

Perhaps she could guide her sisters ideas and introduce her to the prefectures offerings.

Still, Su Bin yearned for her sisters fortune to change. She believed that once Su Lan married Brother Shanmin, he would surely cherish her and Xiaoyu, paving the way for a blissful life.

With this conviction, Su Bin voiced, If thats your choice, I wont oppose it. Their unified endors.e.m.e.nt echoed forth for Su Lan.

Su Cheng even proposed, Elder Brother, if Sister stays in Qian Village, Id like to remain there to accompany her and Xiaoyu. I can study in town, arriving early and returning late. Over and above, I can oversee the household. During breaks, I could contribute to the family. Su Bin concurred, his agreement unhesitating.

Absolutely.

Sending their fifth sibling for education primarily aimed at instilling literacy. The choice of location was secondary.

His diligent study habits made advancement likely, irrespective of the learning environment.

From a young age, he possessed a penchant for cultivation, often toying with the vegetable plots at the rear. Hed nurture crops the villagers overlooked and introduce unique varieties.

Perhaps this affinity for Qian Village was why he resisted departing. Staying put, he could tend to his sister and Xiaoyu, ensuring their well-being..
