The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 71 Causing Trouble
"This is a matter between your two families, so I shouldn't get involved too much." Zhuang Jingye thought about it and refused: "Just come and apologize."
In this case, no matter what, it is Zhuang Rumen's own business, and we cannot say that he, as the village head, did anything inappropriate.
"Uncle, you know that because of that stupid bitch Song, Ning and Sui also think that I am not a good person, and they also resent me."
Zhuang Ruman said, "He just made a scene, and now he probably doesn't want to see me anymore. If I go now, he will definitely chase me out, and I won't be able to apologize, and I will be scolded. It's not good at all."
"Uncle, you can act as a middleman and mediate. I'm sure Ning will give you some face and talk to me calmly. If our two families can stop quarreling, the village will be more peaceful, and you can feel more at ease, right?"
"Speaking of which, when Yuanren came back a few days ago, he had been thinking about inviting you to his house, but time was really tight and he couldn't make time. When Yuanren comes back after the exam, I will ask him to go to your house to announce the good news and invite you to have a nice drink at home."
The last few sentences are meant to please and build closer ties.
Zhuang Yuanren is a good student after all. Although he may not pass the exam, he still has a chance. If Zhuang Yuanren can successfully pass the exam to become a scholar or even a juren in the future, it would be a good thing to establish a good relationship with him as soon as possible.
As a person, you need to leave more paths for yourself, so that the path will become wider and wider and you won't end up in a dead end.
Zhuang Jingye thought about it and nodded: "Okay, for Yuanren's sake, I will accompany you."
"Thank you, uncle." When Zhuang Rumen saw that Zhuang Jingye had agreed to the task, he smiled even more. He asked him to wait for a moment and went into the house to get the eggs.
He counted about ten eggs and put them in the small bamboo basket. But he was afraid that the eggs would break, so he put some soft wheat straw in the basket.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Seeing him taking the eggs, Song said hurriedly, "These are the eggs that our chickens just laid in the past two days. Didn't the boss say that we would save a lot of them in a few days and take them to the town to exchange for money for Yuanren?"
You know, in order to keep more eggs to sell, Zhuang Rumen has been turning over and over the eggs in the basket, counting them back and forth these days, for fear that someone would steal them.
"Why do you care about so many things? Go and cook your meal." Zhuang Ruman was too lazy to talk to Song. He just put all the eggs into a small bamboo basket and went out of the yard with Zhuang Jingye.
"Hey..." Song, who had been scolded again, was about to speak, but was afraid of being scolded, so she simply stopped talking, lowered her head and went into the kitchen to continue cooking, and called Zhuang Qinghe to come and light the fire.
"Mom, I just heard that Dad is going to Zhuang Qingning's house." Zhuang Yuanzhong slipped into the kitchen, blinked his eyes, and said, "From what Dad said, he wants to send the eggs over and apologize."
"What?"
Zhuang Qinghe, who was lighting the fire, immediately screamed, "Give eggs to that damned girl, why?"
"She eats alone behind closed doors and doesn't take us seriously at all. In my opinion, it's not too much to beat that damn girl to death. Why do you still go to her to give her eggs? Is Dad crazy?"
Song was also crying with grievance.
Even if she didn't have the ability to get the things back, even if she was chased by that bitch Zhuang Qingning across half the village and it was a bit embarrassing, but she was doing it for the whole family. It would have been fine if Zhuang Rumen didn't let her vent her anger, but now he came to apologize with his eyes wide open.
Wouldn't that damn girl Zhuang Qingning look down on her even more from now on?
I'm afraid that many people in this village will say behind her back that she is a person who is looked down upon by the men in the family.
"Mom, Dad is going too far. He doesn't even give us face. How can we hold our heads up high in the village in the future?" Zhuang Qinghe was very angry.
"And the eggs. Dad was really willing to give them away. He took more than ten at a time. It's been a long time since we had eggs at home, but he still gave them away eagerly..."
If she can't even eat it, how can that damn girl be worthy of eating it?
"That's right. I think so too. We can't even eat eggs, but those two girls get to eat them..." Zhuang Yuanzhong nodded in agreement.
"You two stop talking." Song secretly wiped away her tears and said, "Your father must have his reasons for doing this. It must be useful. Who knows what the head of the village said. Your father has no choice."
Thinking this way, I feel better.
"Is there anything we can do?" Zhuang Qinghe's face was filled with anger. "Brother, won't you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar next year? A scholar doesn't even need to kneel down when meeting a county magistrate. How can you be so servile and soft-spoken to a village head?"
"I think my father is completely blinded by greed and doesn't know what to do. He actually did something like this."
“No way!”
As Zhuang Qinghe was talking, she stood up from the stove angrily, went to the inner room, got out four or five eggs, and threw them into the pot without saying a word.
Sweet potato noodles were cooking in the pot over high heat. The egg was put in and quickly solidified into a poached egg.
"What are you doing?" Song was startled and hurriedly stopped her: "If your father saw this, he would break your legs, right?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Just beat me, what are you afraid of?" Zhuang Qinghe stiffened his neck, his face flushed red: "Why can those two damn girls eat the eggs in our house, but we can't? I must eat eggs today!"
In the past, she always bullied Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui, and only then did she get to eat the leftovers and wear the leftovers from her, and then it was the turn of these two damn girls. But now, they get to eat pork and leek dumplings and eggs, and she can only eat these sweet potato noodles?
This won't do!
Zhuang Qinghe became angrier the more he thought about it, so he just beat all the remaining eggs into the pot.
The Song family couldn't stop it.
"My ancestor, isn't this causing trouble..."
Song was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
When Zhuang Ruman came back and saw so many fried eggs in the pot, she would definitely stamp her feet in anger, and would definitely scold them, saying that she was incompetent and didn't know how to stop them...
Song was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the stove again and again.
At least I have eggs to eat.
Zhuang Yuanzhong grinned.
After so many days of eating coarse food and barely having a drop of oil in my mouth, the gluttony in my stomach has long been coming out. This time I can finally satisfy my appetite.
