Chapter 298: Chapter 297: The Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Benefits_1

"I...I’m just worried about you! You really are something, kid. Once you’re married, you start looking out for others."

It was only then that Mrs. Su-Hua realized she had been too harsh in her words, hurriedly turning around to give an awkward smile to Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, your mother-in-law is direct and outspoken, didn’t mean anything by what she just said in her eagerness for Pan’er’s well-being, don’t take it to heart..."

"Don’t worry mother-in-law, I understand why you’re worried."

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "I just talked about this with the county magistrate. But, it seems... the deputy county magistrate, Uncle, is very concerned about the epidemic area. He promises to provide manpower and material support to fully support the people in the epidemic area. It makes me inexplicably moved."

There was a deeper meaning to his words.

Mrs. Su-Hua’s eyes widened in an instant: "Su Sikong, that old bastard? What is he planning to do? Is he trying to set up my Pan’er? No, no, I have to go and ask."

Like a storm brewing, she turned to leave. Su Pan’er quickly pulled her back.

"Mother, if you go now, how can you talk to the county magistrate? Let me go!"

Even if there was something, Jun Ruochen would definitely not say anything to Mrs. Su-Hua.

"That’s true... You must carefully negotiate with the county magistrate, you absolutely cannot let them send you to Lin County."

Mrs. Su-Hua knew this too, after some thought, she reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Su Pan’er agreed without a choice. At this moment, Qin Yi reached out and took her hand.

"Pan’er, I doubt we can avoid the county magistrate’s assignment, I’ll go with you when the time comes."

Su Pan’er turned her head and saw Qin Yi smiling warmly at her, like a gentle breeze caressing the willow, bringing tranquility and peace to the heart.

"Alright, let’s go together!"

Su Pan’er did not decline, and rose to leave with Qin Yi.

Su Sikong was boasting eagerly!

"...The spread of the epidemic pains me deeply, it’s unbearable. This time, the Su Family will contribute manpower and resources, we hope to alleviate the epidemic. I’m not asking to completely eliminate the epidemic, but at least we must control it and prevent it from spreading further..."

As Su Sikong was bragging about his compassion, Su Pan’er and Qin Ying approached.

"Lord County Magistrate."

The two bowed in unison.

Jun Ruochen’s eyes flashed with amusement, he looked deeply at the pair.

He extended his hand in a false helping gesture, his face gentle, "Mr. Qin and Doctor Su are here. Just in time, Deputy County Magistrate Su was saying he plans to help the epidemic area with Su family’s resources. What do you think?"

Su Pan’er turned her head and met Su Sikong’s gaze.

Su Sikong had a bright smile on his face, his squinting eyes filled with obvious calculations.

Huh!

This damn girl thinks she’s so capable, huh?

She always looks down on me, Su Sikong, huh?

If the conspiracy doesn’t work out, I’ll try an open conspiracy!

With this proper reason, let’s see how you, Su Pan’er, deal with it! If I don’t mess up that mischievous girl, my name is not Su!

"The awareness of Deputy County Magistrate Su is indeed high, worthy of being a deputy county magistrate."

Su Pan’er chuckled, "Since Deputy County Magistrate Su said he is willing to donate money and supplies, I hope he has also donated the mansion he owns in the county city, and the fertile land near the city suburb? If Deputy Magistrate Su only talks but does not act, and only makes other members of the Su family pay, that would be too unreasonable, wouldn’t it?"

As soon as her words were out, Su Sikong’s face immediately changed!

This damn girl has seen through his original plan as soon as she came in.

That mansion in the county city is his lifelong effort; not only is it spacious, every plant and tree inside costs him a lot. Not to mention the top-grade farmland near the city suburb, the rent he collects yearly is enough to feed an average family for three generations!

But this damn girl with a single sentence, is demanding that he give away everything he has. How is that possible?

"Doctor Su seems to have quite a sense of humor!"

Su Sikong laughed heartily, his chubby body shaking uncontrollably, "That house is my, Su Sikong’s, place to live. If I were to donate it, my young children at home would have no place to put their feet. As for the fertile land in the suburbs, it is the source of survival for my Su Family’s clan. Why don’t you ask your parents? After you get married, see what they have to live on?"

Did he mean that she, Su Pan’er, after getting married, had even given up on her maiden family?

"The deputy county magistrate didn’t mention it, but I’d almost forgotten. So, those fields near the suburbs also belong to the people of the Su Family. But why did my parents not receive any benefits? Ah, I know! It must be that my uncle has temporarily been assisting in looking after them!"

Su Pan’er had a seemingly enlightened look on her face.

Su Sikong’s face changed, and after a while, he sneered: "How does my Su family manage its expenses? There is no need to report to a married girl like you, is there? The deputy county magistrate has said that donations should be made according to one’s ability. Thus, I have decided to donate half of my personal fortune. Additionally, take out a hundred Mu of clan farmland, which can be regarded as a token of goodwill from the Su family."

Saying this, he bowed to Jun Ruochen, who quickly returned the bow.

"Good, as expected of the deputy county magistrate, your awareness is truly high!"

Just as Jun Ruochen was about to speak, Su Pan’er took the lead.

She gave a thumbs up and lavishly praised Su Sikong, "I heard that the deputy county magistrate bought grain from two storehouses a month ago. Since it is half of Lord Su’s wealth, this granary should naturally also be included, right? Lord Su really has great courage, Su Pan’er admires him greatly!"

While she was speaking, she bowed to Su Sikong.

Su Sikong was so furious that he nearly lost his mind!

He was so angry he nearly crushed his molars!

"Of course, I don’t have the ability to renege on my words! However, my fourth niece, you are a highly skilled doctor with great potential, so I presume you were aware of the lack of doctors and medicines in the epidemic area early on? I’m just wondering, what do you plan to do about it?"

He was indeed here, waiting for her!

Su Pan’er smiled without being disturbed, "What does the deputy county magistrate think Pan’er should do?"

"Naturally, we must wholeheartedly support the people in the epidemic area! At this critical moment, the children of our Su family should make their own contributions."

Su Sikong’s smile was so wide, his eyes narrowed into slits.

If you don’t let me be well, you will not have a good day either.

This really is an old fox!

"Indeed, the deputy county magistrate speaks the truth. However, alas!"

Su Pan’er kept shaking her head in regret.

"Yo! Doctor Su, why don’t you understand? As a doctor, you should lead by example, always taking the initiative. How can you be hesitant because of fear of death?"

Jun Ruochen, the Hua County Official, and the crowd watching the event all understand clearly.

Even though Su Sikong and Su Pan’er are uncle and niece, it seems the atmosphere is quite explosive!

No one said anything, just quietly watching the developments.

Since ancient times, when "a snipe and a clam grapple, it’s the fisherman who benefits", the question is, who exactly is the fisherman benefiting?

"Deputy county magistrate, you really have a way with words. Even though I, Su Pan’er, am a woman, I know that if the country is in distress, every man has a duty! Even though I, Su Pan’er, have limited abilities, I have cured diseases and healed injuries for many people. Deputy County Magistrate Su, you hold a high office and have great power, you actually never forget to help the people. Can you tell us about your relief work, so the younger generation can learn?"

With that, Su Sikong’s face turned black.

Su Pan’er gave a faint smile: "Moreover, which eye of the deputy county magistrate saw Pan’er saying that she will not support the epidemic area?"

Su Sikong narrowed his eyes: "In that case, are you planning to accompany this batch of support supplies to Lin County?"

Humph!

Such an ignorant damn girl!

As long as you leave Yongze County, by that time, without the knowledge of the gods or ghosts, I will have plenty of ways to take your little life!
