Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing what Qin Zhenzhen said, Qian Shanmin could not help but burst into tears. Her words reminded him of those fierce battle scenes he experienced in the past.
So of his brothers and friends were lucky enough to survive and beco officers. Others were handicapped like him, but a significant number had made the ultimate sacrifice and were now resting in eternal sleep at the border. Their heroic souls continued to guard the nation, even in death.
Qin Zhenzhen’s words ignited a fire within him. Third Sister-in-law was right. The soldiers at the border deserved utmost respect, as they were the guardians of world peace and the shield that protected their country from being trampled upon.
Comparing himself to the soldiers at the border, he suddenly felt inadequate. He realized he should stop wasting ti with his brothers and instead join the military camp for training, so he could contribute more effectively.
Su Bin gained a newfound admiration for Qin Zhenzhen. He had never expected a girl younger than him to express such profound thoughts.
The village chief coughed and turned to Ms. Lin, asking, “Do you admit that you were at fault first?”
Ms. Lin was reluctant to admit defeat, but she knew no one would believe her side of the story. Regardless of who was right or wrong, she knew she had to pay for the dical fees resulting from the injury.
“They should not have hit , and they should not have hit so hard!”
“I am not trying to defend myself. I am genuinely injured all over and urgently need to go down the mountain to find a doctor. However, my family is extrely poor, and we have no money to cover the dical expenses,” Ms. Lin pleaded.
“I will drop everything else as long as they are willing to pay for my dical fees,” she added, emphasizing her dire situation.
The chief’s face showed concern as he asked, “How much do you need for the dical fees?”
Ms. Lin’s eyes lit up with a hint of greed. “You can give 10 liang each!” she stated, hoping to get the maximum amount possible.
Qin Zhenzhen scoffed at Ms. Lin’s demand. “You must be dreaming! You want 20 liang for dical fees? I’d rather stab you ten tis!” she retorted sharply.
Ms. Lin stepped back, visibly startled by Qin Zhenzhen’s bold reaction.
Qin Zhenzhen clarified with disdain, “Of course, I won’t resort to anything illegal, but you better think this through. If you insist on receiving our 20 liang for dical fees, I will report this matter to the governntal office. Let them decide who is in the right.”
“By that ti, I don’t know who will be suffering!”
Qin Zhenzhen’s strong words seed to strike fear in Ms. Lin, as the villagers discussed the potential consequences of reporting her actions to the governntal office.
“Ms. Lin will definitely suffer if we report this to the governntal office!” one villager whispered.
“Exactly! She not only humiliated Su Lan but also disrespected the hero Qian Shanmin!” another villager chid in.
“She’s clearly in the wrong, and Qin Zhenzhen’s brother-in-law works at the county office. She deserves to be punished!” soone remarked, highlighting the significance of Qin Zhenzhen’s connections.
“She’s being foolish. Why would she offend soone she can’t afford to offend? Qin Zhenzhen is a good relative,” another villager lanted.
Unfazed, Ms. Lin defiantly clenched her teeth and challenged them to report the matter to the governntal office, doubting Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle’s influence.
Attempting to diate the situation, the village chief suggested a less severe punishnt, proposing to offer so eggs, boiled and rolled on the face, to reduce the swelling caused by the altercation. The idea amused the villagers, and they chuckled at the chief’s creative resolution.
However, Ms. Lin remained dissatisfied and prepared to voice her objections when a man rushed up the mountain, bringing startling news.
“Village Chief! Hurry, go down the mountain! We have a nobleman here!” the man shouted, clearly agitated.
“He’s from the capital! The governor of the i Family, the County Magistrate of our county. He’s here with a noble from the capital!”
“Su Bin, your whole family should go down the mountain too. The County Magistrate said that the nobles from the capital are here for you!” he inford, leaving everyone astonished by the unexpected turn of events..
