Chapter 380: Chapter 367 Prejudice

It was now only a passing encounter. Time was running out and she needed to secure a ride back home on the bullock cart.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning’s indifference, Hu Da became increasingly anxious. “Manager Zhuang, I understand you might be angry because of what happened, thinking we’re misbehaving. But it’s not what you think,” he hurriedly tried to explain.

Frankly, whether they behaved themselves or not didn’t matter to her at this point; she just wanted to catch the bullock cart.

“As I said before, anything goes. I’m in a rush, we can settle everything later,” Zhuang Qingning’s previously lifted eyebrows frowned, hinting her growing impatience.

This was not just a simple ‘anything goes’; she was clearly annoyed.

Extremely annoyed, in fact.

Hu Da felt increasingly uneasy and quickly said, “Manager Zhuang, please don’t be angry. Let me explain, it’s not that we’re unchanging in our bad attitudes, randomly resembling people and demanding money…”

Zhuang Qingning watched with open eyes as someone drove the bullock cart farther and farther away.

The bullock cart…

The cart…

Completely disappeared from her sight.

Zhuang Qingning reluctantly shifted her gaze back to Hu Da who was standing before her.

She was visibly annoyed.

Since she had missed the cart, he owed her!

Hu Da was startled, fearing Zhuang Qingning was getting angry. He started speaking faster, “Manager Zhuang, the truth is, that person is a rascal in disguise. He lives comfortably but borrows money from others. After borrowing money, he puts it in the bank and profits from it.

“When others ask him to repay the money, he blatantly lies about not having any and refuses to repay. This time, his cousin’s child fell ill, and they didn’t have money to see the doctor. They wanted to get their money back, but he bluntly refused. His cousin had no other option than to entrust us with the job of getting the money back.”

“We didn’t want to get involved in this initially, because we remembered what Manager Zhuang said earlier. So, we, three brothers, decided to step away from trouble. However, when we saw that person crying profusely, saying his child’s condition could worsen if not treated in time, we felt pity for him.”

“We thought it would be a good deed to help him out in this situation, so we agreed to lend a hand, and that’s why…”

“Yes, that person also said if we could help him get his money back and cure his child’s illness, he would treat us to a meal and would want his child to recognize me as godfather or something like that. Being an unwed, I declined his proposal of becoming a godfather. I just said that if we managed to resolve the issue, he could give us two taels of wine.”

“If Manager Zhuang does not believe me, you can come with us to his house and ask him yourselves.”

After explaining everything, Hu Da eyed Zhuang Qingning, afraid that she wouldn’t believe his story.

Hu Er and Hu San, standing beside him, were nodding in affirmation, validating Hu Da’s words.

“So, that’s what happened.” After hearing all of this, Zhuang Qingning’s anger, caused by missing the cart, had subsided considerably.

It turns out, the Hu brothers had done a good deed.

Regardless of the predicament, doing good deeds deserve praise.
