Zhuang Yuanren remained silent.
Seeing this, it became clear.
A hint of joy emerged from Zhuang Ruman’s brows. Zhuang Yuanren, who felt compelled to apologize at Zhuang Qingning’s door, revealed that Zhuang Qingning was in the wrong no matter how it was discussed.
“Did you not take a detour to visit your uncle, the village chief, to talk to him?”
Zhuang Ruman asked again, but the reply he received was still silence.
Now, it was Zhuang Ruman’s turn for silence.
Looking at Zhuang Yuanren’s behavior, it seemed that when he went to Zhuang Jingye’s house to discuss the matter, Zhuang Jingye didn’t take it seriously and didn’t treat him well, which was why Zhuang Yuanren appeared unhappy.
It looked like Zhuang Jingye truly intended not to give their family a chance, and didn’t value Zhuang Yuanren, who was expected to be the future scholar.
If that was the case, there would be nothing in the entire village they could rely on…
“Father.” After a long silence, Zhuang Yuanren spoke up: “If you continue to act stubbornly and just want to cause difficulty for Zhuang Qingning and her sister, then I will never come back. Please treat it as if you don’t have a son like me…”
With such parents, not only did he lose face in front of Zhuang Qingning’s sisters but was also looked down upon by Zhuang Jingye, he feared that he would have no face in the village in the future.
It would be better not to have…
Zhuang Ruman’s heart sank further.
It seemed that his prediction was truthful, and in the future, they would only be able to live quietly, not daring to make any mistakes. Otherwise, there would be no benefits. They might even jeopardize Zhuang Yuanren’s future prospects. If it comes to that, their family would completely lose all support.
Zhuang Ruman certainly did not want such a result.
For thirty years, fortunes turn and change. When Zhuang Yuanren succeeds, they could troubleshoot the two sisters.
“From your words, do you think I’m incapable of understanding anything? From now on, I’ll listen to you. You just focus on your studies.”
Zhuang Ruman said.
“Thank you, father.” Zhuang Yuanren paused and continued: “It’s getting late. I’ll return to school early, and father can recover from his injuries in peace. When I have a spare moment, I’ll come back to see you.”
“You’re not even going to stay for dinner?” Zhuang Ruman struggled to prop up half of his body with his elbow: “It’s almost dark now, and the journey back to the town isn’t easy. It would be better to leave tomorrow.”
“No, I need to return early to talk to my teacher to avoid missing the opportunity to go to the government school.” Zhuang Yuanren answered.
“Hmm, this is important. It’s better to settle it early.” Zhuang Ruman nodded, called Mrs. Song into the room, took the money bag from the crack in the wall, counted out half of it, and gave it to Zhuang Yuanren.
“You take this. Buy something for your teacher, and make sure you’re looked after. When you’re outside, don’t hesitate to eat and dress well to avoid seeming poor. If you run out of money, you can always come back for more.”
