Chapter 74: Sharing Money

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Bin maintained a calm facade, but inwardly, he felt a sense of unease.

How did she know that he had retrieved the jade?

Qin Zhenzhen continued, I heard from your siblings that your Second Brothers jade has already been sold. You wouldnt want to sell your own jade, would you?

My brother mentioned that the p.a.w.nshop in town has a questionable reputation. Whenever they come across valuable items, they try to deceive their customers.

Qin Zhenzhens words were clear, and Su Bin understood what she was implying.

Even if he were to sell the fields, he couldnt sell them all at once. If he delayed the process for a few months, he could continue to generate profits during that time, and the p.a.w.nshop might even sell his jade.

Seeing Su Bins hesitation, Qin Zhenzhen made another attempt.

Furthermore, I must inform you that I wasnt the only one who contributed to redeeming the contract. Your siblings and I earned the money by running a stall.

As for the wild boar today, he helped set the traps and made a contribution as well. Once we sell the wild boar meat, well have a substantial amount of money. If youre short on funds for the examination, I can lend you some.

You dont have to p.a.w.n the jade unless its absolutely necessary.

You should think carefully about what you want to do.

With those words, Qin Zhenzhen left the study.

Su Bin remained silent until Qin Zhenzhen had returned to her own room.

Su Ning, who had been listening outside the study, whispered, Third Brother, did you really consider p.a.w.ning the jade?

Still, Su Bin said nothing.

Su Ning burst into tears. Third Brother, thats the only memento our father left behind. Are you planning to sell it?

Annoyed, Su Bin rea.s.sured his sister, I promise you, I will not sell the jade!

Su Ning smiled warmly. I trust you, Third Brother!

Unlike their Second Brother, he was different.

Blus.h.i.+ng with a mix of embarra.s.sment and determination, he retreated to his own room.

If a similar situation arose again, he would never consider selling the jade.

He had sold it before because he was desperate for money, wanting to treat his friends to meals and drinks.

Reflecting on it now, he realized what a foolish decision it had been.

But his brother and sister had never blamed him for it. They still regarded him as their elder brother, especially his sister, who held great expectations for him.

Perhaps he should consider how to fulfill the role of a good Second Brother.

That night, Qin Zhenzhens Elder Brother and Fourth Brother personally delivered the money to the Su Family.

Aside from the amount Qin Zhenzhen had forced her Elder Brother to contribute, she had a total of 5-5 liang.

In order to avoid any conflicts between her Elder Brother and Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen hurriedly sent them home.

Elder Brother, Fourth Brother, as I mentioned before, we should wait until he becomes a Cultivated Talent, Qin Zhenzhen reminded them.

She then proceeded to divide the money.

She handed him one liang first. You set up the traps in the mountains, so consider this as payment.

He initially refused to accept the money.

Ill leave the money with you. I heard from Fifth Brother that you bought all the rice for the family. Youll need it to take care of your brother and sister at home, and youll require money in the future.

Qin Zhenzhen was genuinely surprised by his selflessness.

If that was what he truly believed, then he was being sincere.

However, Qin Zhenzhen didnt harbor any positive feelings toward him. She responded calmly, You can give it to me if you want to retrieve the contract. Qin Zhenzhen proceeded to divide the money into three equal portions.

The three of us discovered and captured the wild boar together. We guarded it as a team, so we will split the money equally, with each of us receiving half..
