Chapter 70: Not a single word
Zhuang Ruman cursed Song again in his heart.
But he was already very angry at the moment, and seeing Zhuang Jingye coming to him to accuse him, he felt a little dissatisfied.
"Is there something wrong with the village chief?"
His tone was distant, and he didn't even call him uncle.
His wife had done such a shameful thing, but now when she met him, the head of the village, she didn't even bow her head to apologize, but instead stood up straight and challenged him? With such a man, no wonder the Song family was so confused!
That's right. There was such a big commotion just now, but Zhuang Ruman didn't go out to stop it. It might be Zhuang Ruman who instigated the Song family to go to the house to ask for things. Later, when he saw that the truth was revealed, he was too embarrassed to try to mediate.
This Zhuang Ruman! "Of course there is something!"
Zhuang Jingye's tone was also somewhat dissatisfied: "Just now, the Song family made such a big noise outside, and I thought you were deaf and didn't hear it. How could this person stay at home well?"
"Well, I have to have a good talk with you this time. How can you be a man? You let your wife do such shameful things outside while you just stay at home and do nothing?"
"You can't say that, Lizheng. If Song was a beast, I could tie her up at home or put her in a pen. But she is a person, a living person. What can I do? Should I tie her up or tie her up? Should I lock her up or put her in a pen?"
Zhuang Ruman said unhappily, "I know about this matter. I will take care of it from now on. There is no need for the head of the village to come to my house and remind me of this matter again."
It was originally a shameful matter, and everyone knew what to do next. But Zhuang Jingye came over and stepped on the face that had fallen to the ground. Zhuang Ruman was furious at the moment and couldn't swallow this breath .
Moreover, if Zhuang Yuanren could pass the exam now, he would be a scholar when he took the exam next year. He would not need to kneel when meeting the county magistrate, and his family would not need to pay taxes. Why would he be afraid of Zhuang Jingye? As the head of the village, it was normal for him to discipline the farmers in the village. At this time, Zhuang Ruman's family was clearly wrong, but they wanted to contradict him like this and did not give him any face, which made Zhuang Jingye quite angry.
"If you can manage your wife at home and not cause trouble outside, no one would be willing to step into your door!"
Zhuang Jingye said angrily: "If Zhuang Yuanren was at home, I'm afraid he would be mad at you! I'm afraid he would feel extremely ashamed and think that he was unlucky in his previous life to have parents like you who only know how to hold him back!"
Speaking of Zhuang Yuanren, Zhuang Jingye saw that Zhuang Ru had no fear at all on his face, but instead had a somewhat smug look, and he knew why he was so fearless at the moment.
It's not even a matter of time yet, but they're already treating it like this. If he really passes the exam, wouldn't he trample the village head down? Zhuang Jingye glanced at Zhuang Ruman and said quietly, "Yes, your family doesn't really care. After all, it's an exam, whether he passes or not is another matter. After all, there are many people who study, but how many of them have smoke rising from their ancestors' graves?"
"Zhuang Yuanren is just a little more promising than the average kid. His eyes are already on the top of his head. Is it so easy to pass the exam to become a scholar? He probably hasn't been to the county town or the prefectural capital to take a look. There are so many students in their seventies and eighties. Is your Yuanren definitely better than others?"
"Even if you pass the exam and become a scholar, what good is that? There is no honor at all, and you can't find a good way out. How good can a poor scholar be? It's nothing more than a better name, what else can you think of it as?"
"You dare to yell at me here for nothing? Don't you think about how you're going to live your life? It's just that I haven't had much time recently and haven't been around town much. When the weather is good, I will go to town more often, especially to the academy!"
Zhuang Rumen's angry face suddenly fell.
Yes, even if Zhuang Yuanren could pass the examination to become a scholar, it would be at least next year, and it is not certain whether he could pass it next year.
Even if he passed the exam, he would only be exempted from taxes, but he would not be able to get any official position. His family would still be just an ordinary farmer and would still be under the management of Zhuang Jingye.
Having made him so angry, he will be stuck in many problems in the future and his life will definitely not be easy.
“Uncle…”
Zhuang Ruman was naturally not the kind of person who thought that integrity could be used to make a living. Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Jingye's words that Zhuang Yuanren might not pass the exam, his tone softened immediately: "That's a serious statement, isn't it?"
"I was also very angry with that stupid woman of the Song family. I just scolded her and was very angry, so..."
"Oh, uncle, please don't treat me like that. Don't you know what I am like normally?"
Of course, they are very clear about it. They know what is profitable and will definitely not be a sinister person who goes against interests.
However, this kind of person does have his own advantages, which is that he is very aware of the current situation and will never be like those stubborn people who don't give you any face.
Zhuang Ruman smiled, and Zhuang Jingye naturally followed suit: "If I didn't know your temper, I would have to settle the score with you!"
"Remember to take good care of your wife in the future. Our village has always been peaceful. Don't let anything happen because of your wife."
"If you really provoke Zhuang Qingning to use a knife, even if you are the victim, it will not be a glorious thing. Not to mention the marriages of your children, I think even Yuanren's future will be ruined!"
"Yes, uncle is right. I will definitely discipline her from now on and prevent her from causing trouble again."
Zhuang Ruman rolled his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, Song Shi caused all this trouble today. It was also my fault for not disciplining her well. I let her go out and cause such a big trouble, and also made Ning girl suffer such a great injustice. I have to go to Ning girl's house and apologize."
"Uncle, this can't work. I'll get some eggs and go to Ning and Sui to apologize. Uncle, you can be a witness for me."
"This..." Zhuang Jingye hesitated for a moment.
Zhuang Rumen is so aware of the current situation and is willing to come forward to appease the situation. Zhuang Qingning will definitely not cause trouble again because of this and will be able to calm down. This is a very good thing for the peace in the village.
But if that was the case, it would be giving too much face to Zhuang Qingning. She would only think that he was on her side and made the decision for her. I'm afraid she would become even more unscrupulous in the future.
As a young girl, Zhuang Jingye really didn't want her to jump around too much.
