“This matter…” Zhuang Jingye hesitated: “We don’t have much of these bean seeds. If everyone thinks like you do and wants to transport them outside, there probably wouldn’t be enough for our own villagers. When people in the village ask me for bean seeds and I can’t provide them, it wouldn’t look good if they find out it’s because of you. They would think I’m favoring certain people and I would lose my authority in the village.”
“I understand it puts you in a difficult position, Uncle Chief. Considering our past relationship, I hope you might provide some extra this time. I’ve already mentioned it to Mrs. Wang. If it can’t be done, I’m afraid I’ll lose face when I go back.”
Zhuang Dali pleaded: “Could you be lenient this time, Uncle Chief?”
Zhuang Jingye thought for a moment before lifting his head and saying, “Okay, since you’ve already said all these, if I don’t give any extra, you’ll indeed lose face. But if I give you the exact amount you asked for, it wouldn’t be easy for me to explain either…”
“Let’s do it this way. I’ll give you sixty jin. Let’s both compromise. This way, I can explain my side, and you will not be embarrassed.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Uncle Chief.”
As Zhuang Jingye gave ground, Zhuang Dali felt greatly honored and hurriedly nodded his head, “Can I take the bean seeds away now?”
“What’s the rush?” Zhuang Jingye slurped a string of noodles, “Let me finish eating first, it’s not like you need to sow them this afternoon.”
“Uncle Chief.” Zhuang Dali chuckled, “I’m afraid you won’t have much time left to eat. You’ll be busy soon.”
Huh?
Zhuang Jingye looked up in surprise, with noodles still in his mouth, “What do you mean by that?”
Before he finished speaking, another person entered the courtyard. It was Zhuang Sanhuai, carrying a sack, and also asking Zhuang Jingye for bean seeds.
