Chapter 59: Oath

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Grandma Wang tried to reason with her son and daughter-in-law, but they were difficult to deal with. Instead, they scolded her, taking advantage of her poor eyesight and fragile health. She had no choice but to submit to their whims and eat according to their mood.

Gradually, she became numb to the mistreatment.

However, she had no intention of assisting her daughter-in-law.

Summoning Su Cheng and Su Ning, she instructed them, “Good children, you should keep the contract!”

“I am growing old, and your memory is not the best. It would be troublesome if you forget where you’ve put it.”

Ms. Lin cursed, “What are you talking about, mother-in-law? You have a terrible memory! Are you afraid that the Qin Family will come after you, so you refuse to take responsibility?”

Grandma Wang emphasized, “I fear nothing. I’m simply concerned that someone might steal the land contract!”

Laughter erupted among the villagers once again.

Ms. Lin turned red with embarrassment.

Qian Dashan glared at her. “You’re so meddlesome!”

Didn’t they notice the fierce glares from the Qin brothers?

Hadn’t they heard that Qin Zhenzhen intended to report the matter to the governmental office?

Was she truly considering selling off the Su Family’s land? Was she tired of living?

Qin Zhenzhen decided not to waste any more time. She left the money and departed with the contract.

The turnip soup was still simmering on the stove.

At dinner, the Qin brothers savored the delicious turnip bone soup and the flavorful braised pork, feeling content and satisfied.

“Zhenzhen, it would be wonderful if you were still unmarried. We could enjoy such delicious food every day as brothers.”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “Let me share a secret with you. It’s not that I’m an exceptional cook; I add some special seasonings to enhance the flavors!”

“Really?”

The four Qin brothers found it hard to believe. “Where did you get these special seasonings?”

“I made them myself!”

“Who taught you the recipe?”

“I’m sorry, but I made a promise not to disclose the formula or reveal who taught it to me.”

The four Qin brothers exchanged glances, genuinely clueless about the source.

Qin Silong suddenly slapped his forehead. “Zhenzhen, I think I’ve figured it out! Is it…

Qin Zhenzhen interrupted him. “Fourth Brother, you shouldn’t make wild guesses!”

“What if your guess is correct and word spreads? It would mean that I’ve broken my promise. What if my promise remains unfulfilled?” Qin Zhenzhen knew exactly whom her Fourth Brother was alluding to.

He would likely assume that it was their grandmother!

The original host had read cooking books from Grandma’s box, and her brothers could have done the same.

Furthermore, the previous night, after Grandma drank the delicious fish soup, she had asked Qin Zhenzhen to go into the room and close the door for a while. Given these circumstances, her brothers might suspect their grandmother.

As long as her brothers didn’t reveal the secret, and she didn’t confirm it personally, it was none of her concern.

Qin Silong held back his words and refrained from revealing his suspicion.

The other three brothers also had their grandmother in mind.

Curiosity got the better of them as they asked Qin Zhenzhen, “What kind of oath did you make? Is it something serious?”

Qin Zhenzhen struggled to suppress her laughter. “It’s not exactly an oath. I simply said that if I were to disclose this secret, I would spend the rest of my life alone!”

The four brothers were taken aback.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Zhenzhen, how could you make such a vow? What if you accidentally let it slip?”

Qin Zhenzhen reassured them, “I promise I will never reveal it to anyone.” “If you happen to figure out who it is, just pretend that you don’t know anything. Don’t ask me about it.”

The four Qin brothers nodded in agreement. “We understand..”
