Chapter 10 Pretending

But after thinking carefully, I really couldn't figure out how I had offended Zhuang Jingye. I just attributed it to the fact that he might be in a bad mood, and I became more alert to deal with it.

"Uncle, I'm having tea." Zhuang Ruman smiled very servilely. He didn't call him the head of the village, but just called him uncle according to seniority, hoping to get closer to him.

"I think you are not blind, so you can't see it? Can I drink rat poison if I don't drink tea?" Zhuang Jingye said unhappily.

"Uncle, you're joking, haha, haha..." After a moment of shock, Zhuang Rumen smiled with an embarrassed look on his face.

Haha, you head! Zhuang Jingye resisted the urge to kick him and glared at him: "Come on, what do you want from me so early in the morning?"

"The chickens at home have laid a lot of eggs these past two days, so I thought that you, uncle, are in charge of the entire village and are very tired and need to replenish your body, so I specially selected a few freshly laid, freshest eggs to give to you."

"Ask your aunt to make some egg tea for your uncle every day. It's convenient and delicious." Zhuang Ru's face was full of flattery as he put the small basket of eggs on the small coffee table beside him.

I don’t know whether this egg is good or not, or whether it can nourish the body, but I know that you, Zhuang Rumen, are really a cunning person.

Zhuang Jingye glanced at Zhuang Ruman and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

His thoughts were exposed so clearly, Zhuang Ruman felt even more embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, to be honest with you, my two nieces, Ning and Sui, originally from Ruhai's family, ran away from home yesterday for some unknown reason."

"Oh? Ran away? Why?" Zhuang Jingye leaned back, looking nonchalant.

"Well, it's my fault. I didn't pay much attention to my two nieces. I just treated them as little girls. It would be more convenient for them to be taken care of by their aunt. I never thought that Song was so kind to them in front of me, but she beat and scolded my two nieces behind my back."

"Originally, I also knew the temper of that Song's wife. She was stupid and bad-tempered. I was also afraid that she would treat my two nieces badly, so I often asked Ning and Sui about them. But every time I asked, the two girls would say that they ate well and dressed well. I just thought that they were really good and didn't think about it anymore."

"Yesterday, I heard Ning and Song's wife arguing. After listening to them, I finally understood that Ning was disgusted with the house and land left by her parents. Why couldn't they be given to her and Sui, but were given to our family instead? I also explained a little bit and promised that the income from the land would be kept for them as dowry."

"This has always been a rule. Girls without children cannot inherit the family property. It should be given to brothers with children. As an uncle, it is my duty to accept these things. There is nothing wrong with this. I accepted the things and used the proceeds to add to their dowries. I have done my best."

"But Ning and Sui refused to listen to us no matter what we said. They kept asking us for our land and house, but nothing came of it. So I stopped talking and thought that I would be able to figure it out after they figured it out. But after waiting for a while, the two girls left without a word..."

"The world outside is a mess. Where can two little girls go without even documents? They have nothing to eat, drink or live in. Not only will they suffer, but if they run into bad people and something bad happens, how can I explain to my dead brothers and sisters?"

As Zhuang Ruman spoke, his eyes turned red and he choked up for a moment: "I immediately led the Song family to search everywhere, but we couldn't find him after searching everywhere. We also asked around in the village, but no one said they saw him. I was so anxious."

"In the end, there was nothing I could do. I could only think of coming to look for you, uncle, to see if you could tell the people in the village. If anyone saw anything, please tell us so that we can find the two girls as soon as possible and feel relieved."

After saying that, he lowered his head, sniffed hard, and even wiped the corners of his eyes.

Looking at his appearance, he looked like a kind uncle who was worried about his two nieces.

Zhuang Jingye spat bitterly in his heart.

Pretentious bastard!

What quarrel? What land? When Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui came to him to find a daughter to marry, they didn't mention any of this. The two of them clearly knew the rules and had no intention of snatching things that didn't belong to them. And you're still here slandering your own niece for not following the rules.

Who doesn't know about the Song family's left-wingers? No one can get the truth from either of them. They are clearly pushing all the faults onto the Song family and the two maids, clearing themselves of all blame.

Everyone in this village knows that Song is selfish and has a bad temper. She can quarrel with anyone, but she always obeys her husband Zhuang Ruman and never disobeys him. If you, Zhuang Ruman, had said so long ago, would Song still dare to beat and scold her so wantonly? It is obvious that you acquiesced and even instigated her, but in the end you put all the blame on Song and made yourself look very pitiful. This kind of hypocrisy is the most hateful. What's more hateful is that you treat others as fools and think that you can deceive him, the wise and perceptive headman, with just a few words!

You are totally wrong. Your wishful thinking has gone wrong.

Zhuang Jingye snorted coldly: "Actually, if you want to find Ning Yatou and Sui Yatou, it's not difficult."

"Uncle, do you have a way to find them?" Zhuang Ruman was overjoyed.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He knew that coming to find Zhuang Jingye was the best way, and the eggs today were really not given for free.

"It's not really a solution. Miss Ning and Miss Sui didn't go anywhere else yesterday. Instead, they came to find me." Zhuang Jingye glanced at Zhuang Ruman and said, "They came to find me to ask me to help them do something."

Are you here to complain to Zhuang Jingye?

Zhuang Ruman's heart suddenly sank.

These two damn girls are really brave. When we find them back, we will let the Song family deal with them! "Uncle, these two girls must have accused us of many things. What they said is one-sided after all. Uncle, don't take it too seriously. I guess they are holding back because of the land, so they dare to say anything now..."

Thanks to Jin Lingshan for the reward, thank you for your support~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
