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!”

Nothing can be resolved by saying thousands and tens of thousands of words here. Speaking to him gently here, he will only think you fear him and dare not act.

So, it was time to show a little tough love. After seriously doing what he needed to do, he would let Zhuang Ruman see what “formidable” truly meant.

With this in mind, Zhuang Jingye didn’t speak further. After a cold snort, he left with a flick of his sleeve.

This matter is not going to be easy to handle.

Watching Zhuang Jingye leave with a huff, Zhuang Ruman felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Zhuang Jingye normally could get angry at him, but he was usually willing to speak a few extra words. As long as he spoke more, there was hope for the situation.

But this time, Zhuang Jingye appeared unwilling to speak even a half word more, indicating that he was saving his energy to do something.

Chances are, he would warn Zhuang Yuanren.

Zhuang Ruman was extremely anxious. His sore butt was throbbing with pain, making him grit his teeth. He didn’t dare to stay at the door any longer and leaned against the wall to head into the house.

“Idiot, what are you looking at? Hurry up and help me inside!”

His wife was utterly dense, moving only when spoken to and clueless otherwise. She was just like a spinning top, completely useless!

Mrs. Song came to her senses, replied, and quickly helped Zhuang Ruman into the house.

She helped him lie down on the bed and hurried to find clean cloth pieces and wood ash to stop the bleeding.

Mrs. Song was clumsy and easily flustered. Seeing Zhuang Ruman bleeding profusely, she panicked even more. Her repeated mistakes while dressing his wound only made Zhuang Ruman howl in pain.

“Dad, why can’t you keep it down? I can’t even sleep with all the noise. I’ve been working all morning and I’m exhausted. Finally, after the hectic lunch, I’m trying to rest, but you’re not letting me.” Zhuang Qinghe rose from her bed in the other room, laying out her grievances.

For the past few days, Zhuang Qinghe had been forced to work in the field every day with no time to rest. She had tanned skin and rough hands from all the work, and her previously rosy and plump appearance was now thinning. Zhuang Qinghe was utterly frustrated.

She wanted to slack off, but Zhuang Ruman was watching. If she was caught, she was scolded or beaten. Scared, Zhuang Qinghe didn’t dare to speak up or slack off.

Now, when she finally had a chance to take a midday nap, she still couldn’t relax. Zhuang Qinghe was absolutely furious.

“Why don’t you go see for yourself?” Zhuang Yuanzhong yawned, pulling the curtain aside.

In the village, it is common to have multiple siblings sharing a room. Unless one is too old and needs privacy, it’s not that big of a deal. For older children, simply adding a curtain to divide the room would suffice.

So, when Zhuang Yuanzhong announced that he wanted to move to Zhuang Qinghe’s room to avoid disrupting Zhuang Yuanren’s studies and their Feng Shui, Zhuang Ruman and Mrs. Song enthusiastically agreed and commended Zhuang Yuanzhong’s consideration.

They even rewarded Zhuang Yuanzhong with two eggs and repeatedly urged Zhuang Qinghe to learn from her younger brother’s sensibility..
