Reborn as a Farm Girl: Taming Her Vengeful Villain Husband

Chapter 5: A Forced Marriage

Chapter 5: A Forced Marriage

Qin Zhenzhen understood why he harbored such strong animosity towards her.

As the younger brother, Su Bin held a deep-seated belief that it was inappropriate for him to marry before his elder brother. Such a transgression would not only subject him to gossip and criticism but could also have serious implications for his future marriage prospects.

In addition to this societal taboo, Su Bin also felt a sense of injustice on behalf of his third brother.

Qin Zhenzhen continued to defend herself, insisting, "I never intended to harm them fatally. I struck Su Ning because I lost my balance and couldn't control the force."

"If you doubt my words, feel free to ask them and verify the truth."

Su Ping glanced at the bandage wrapped around Qin Zhenzhen's head, observing the faint traces of blood. His gaze then shifted to the pool of blood on the floor, causing his brow to furrow.

"Did she truly... bleed?"

The sight of the large pool of blood was both alarming and potentially life-threatening, yet Qin Zhenzhen acted as if it were inconsequential.

Su Ning nodded in affirmation. "She was the one who bled. She had a fall."

"As their third sister-in-law, it is only fair for you to provide for their needs when they are hungry!"

Qin Zhenzhen immediately agreed, vigorously nodding. "Absolutely! I've always believed in that principle. However, they've never treated me as the third sister-in-law. Since they view me as an outsider, taking my belongings amounts to theft, wouldn't you agree?"

Su Cheng anxiously tugged at his second brother's clothes, whispering a reminder, "She might have deceived Third Brother into returning home and forcefully engaging in intimate relations. She is strong, and Third Brother might be at a disadvantage..."

Su Ping had an epiphany, his expression filled with disdain as he looked at Qin Zhenzhen.

Qin Zhenzhen found herself at a loss for words. Su Cheng, that brat, was truly asking for trouble. How could he misconstrue her intentions like this?

Ignoring Qin Zhenzhen, Su Ping unburdened himself of the basket on his back.

Observing that the basket didn't appear empty, Su Ning asked excitedly, "What did Second Brother manage to hunt today?"

"Today was an unlucky day for me. I didn't catch anything," Su Ping replied with a touch of disappointment.

Su Ning and Su Cheng shared in the disappointment.

It had been quite a while since they last had meat to eat.

Their family lacked the financial means to purchase pork, so they relied on the hope that Second Brother would bring back some game to fulfill their cravings. Even a small bird would have sufficed.

Sadly, Second Brother seldom ventured into the mountains, and most of the time he returned empty-handed.

"I've set up a trap in the mountains. I'll head up there tomorrow. Maybe I'll find something," Su Ping reassured his siblings softly, noting the dejected expressions on their faces.
