If you can’t make it, then none of this matter.

Zhuang Yuanren’s future would be irreversibly obstructed.

Zhuang Ruman felt he cannot take this risk.

As for those two annoying girls who, after making money, only know how to look out for themselves, without giving a thought to their elders…

Well, well, fortunes alternate while circumstances rotate, let them celebrate for now, but they will cry eventually.

When Zhuang Yuanren passes the imperial examination, or even becomes an official later on, dealing with those two girls would be as simple as stepping on an ant, wouldn’t it?

Zhuang Ruman quickly assessed the advantages and disadvantages of the situation, cleared his throat and said, “Get up now…”

“If father docs not agree to this, I will not rise,” Zhuang Yuanren said, his head bowed low.

“Since you have laid out the reasons in front of me, am I not an ignorant fool, for not being aware of the intricacies involved?”

Zhuang Ruman said, “Hurry up and rise, and I will heed your words from now on.”

“Thank you, father.” Zhuang Yuanren finally stood up.

He had been kneeling for too long, and the uneven blue brick on the ground had caused his knees to throb with pain. When he got up, he staggered, and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Mrs. Song quickly supported him.

“Thank you, mother,” Zhuang Yuanren said.

“Why are you acting so formal with your own mother?” Mrs. Song replied, with an embarrassed smile.

She was the one who made life most difficult for Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui. Now as Zhuang Yuanren urged not to provoke those girls anymore, Mrs. Song did not understand the subtleties of the situation. But hearing Zhuang Ruman’s definitive agreement, she knew there must be a reason for it and dared not oppose. Afraid of being rebuked by Zhuang Ruman and Zhuang Yuanren for her actions, she couldn’t even raise her eyelids for confrontation.

“Regarding the past mistreatment of my sisters by my father and mother, uncle, the village chief is clearly displeased. Hence, we need to mend our relationship with my sisters and also clarify our intentions to the village chief.”

Zhuang Yuanren said, “Father and mother should visit my sisters, Qingning and Qingsui, to apologize, and also speak to the village chief. This would make the village chief understand our family’s attitude and our intentions.”

“It is indeed our obligation, however…” Zhuang Ruman pretended to get up, but immediately winced in pain, and lay back on the bed.

“Yuanren, I indeed agree with your words. We should apologize to Ning and Miss Sui. However, as you can see, I have this serious injury and can’t do it physically. If it really doesn’t work out, let your mother go.”

In the past, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui never left home and faced only criticism; outsiders had no say in their affairs. But now that they’ve moved out and established their own households, they’ve become like tofu dropped in dust, in a vulnerable position, unable to take any hits.

And if we trace the root of this frustration, it was Mrs. Song’s harsh treatment that forced Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui to establish their own households and caused them to oppose their family.

In the end, it was all Mrs. Song’s fault.
