Such a lousy oaf, can’t do anything right!
I really made a mistake by relying on these two brothers!
Zhuang Ruman was extremely furious. He was both angry with the incompetence of these two brothers and annoyed that Zhuang Jingye, a wily old fox, had discovered the matter so quickly.
Even though he knew that Zhuang Jingye had grasped the whole situation, Zhuang Ruman was still determined to deny everything and feigned ignorance, responding with a surprised question.
“You dare to ask?”
Zhuang Jingye glared at Zhuang Ruman: “Don’t you know what you’ve done yourself, or are you pretending you don’t? The game is up, and you’re still pretending nothing happened?”
“Zhuang Ruman, oh, Zhuang Ruman, I’ve lived half a life and met a lot of shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you. You want to do all kinds of wicked things and keep your own hands clean. You think you can take all the benefits for yourself? In your dreams!”
“Seeing you get stabbed by this manure fork today, it’s nothing but divine retribution for your actions. Even the heavens can’t stand to watch you anymore and want to teach you a lesson!”
“Let me be clear with you. If you dare to covet the tofu shop again, you’re not only crossing me, but all the villagers. Don’t blame me for not showing mercy on you!”
“Wait, you’ve already crossed me now. Unless you learn your lesson, I won’t let you off!”
“You misinterpret it, Uncle. I just told the truth. I didn’t call Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng back to specifically cause trouble for the tofu shop, so why are you threatening me?”
Zhuang Ruman stifled his pain and retorted craftily: “Besides, the girl is just running a tofu shop right now. In the future, Yuanren might pass the imperial examination and become a successful scholar. As an uncle, you should also look forward to Yuanren’s filial piety, right?”
“Bullshit!” Zhuang Jingye glared at Zhuang Ruman.
This Zhuang Ruman is still unrepentant, always using the matter of Zhuang Yuanren as a lure, and it’s a phantom lure at that!
Maybe this lure will go wrong in the middle, maybe it won’t even work out in the end, and even if it does, it may end up benefiting someone else.
All day, he talks about the students who returned to the countryside in glory after passing the examination, supporting and uplifting their fellow villagers, but those things are just illusions! It’s already a blessing if they don’t get into trouble over past mistakes, let alone ride on others’ coattails?
The ascending fortunes of one person leading to that of their family only applies if they belong to the same family. What if they don’t?
They’ll butcher and cook you, and after eating you, they might even complain that you tasted bad!
The bottom line is, the future is uncertain, unseen. Only Zhuang Qingning’s tofu shop is right in front of our eyes, something we can see and touch.
As for the future, it’s still uncertain whether he can continue to be the village chief!
Zhuang Jingye thought clearly, he just wanted to seize what was in front of him properly, and didn’t intend to waste words with someone as cunning as Zhuang Ruman. He coldly snorted: “You can rethink and plan for yourself. Let’s just wait and see if you learn your lesson or not!”
