Chapter 205: Nobleman

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.

Some of his brothers and friends were lucky enough to survive and become 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 time 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 medical fees resulting from the injury.

“They should not have hit me, and they should not have hit me 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 extremely poor, and we have no money to cover the medical expenses,” Ms. Lin pleaded.

“I will drop everything else as long as they are willing to pay for my medical fees,” she added, emphasizing her dire situation.

The chief’s face showed concern as he asked, “How much do you need for the medical fees?”

Ms. Lin’s eyes lit up with a hint of greed. “You can give me 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 medical fees? I’d rather stab you ten times!” 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 medical fees, I will report this matter to the governmental office. Let them decide who is in the right.”

“By that time, I don’t know who will be suffering!”

Qin Zhenzhen’s strong words seemed to strike fear in Ms. Lin, as the villagers discussed the potential consequences of reporting her actions to the governmental office.

“Ms. Lin will definitely suffer if we report this to the governmental office!” one villager whispered.

“Exactly! She not only humiliated Su Lan but also disrespected the hero Qian Shanmin!” another villager chimed in.

“She’s clearly in the wrong, and Qin Zhenzhen’s brother-in-law works at the county office. She deserves to be punished!” someone remarked, highlighting the significance of Qin Zhenzhen’s connections.

“She’s being foolish. Why would she offend someone she can’t afford to offend? Qin Zhenzhen is a good relative,” another villager lamented.

Unfazed, Ms. Lin defiantly clenched her teeth and challenged them to report the matter to the governmental office, doubting Qin Zhenzhen’s uncle’s influence.

Attempting to mediate the situation, the village chief suggested a less severe punishment, proposing to offer some 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 Mei 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 informed, leaving everyone astonished by the unexpected turn of events..
