Chapter 71 - 71 071 Getting Into Trouble
?Chapter 71: Chapter 071: Getting Into Trouble Chapter 71: Chapter 071: Getting Into Trouble “This is ultimately a matter between your two families, it wouldn’t be right for me to get too involved,” Zhuang Jingye contemplated for a moment before declining, “A simple apology should suffice.”
In this way, no matter what, it was Zhuang Ruman’s affair alone, no one could argue that his role as the village chief was in any way improper.
“Uncle, you’re aware that because of Mrs. Song’s foolish actions, Miss Zhuang Qingning and Miss Qingsui have started to see me in a negative light, even bearing resentment towards me.”
Zhuang Ruman said, “After the scuffle earlier, they now likely despise the sight of me even more. If I were to go there now, they would surely chase me out before I have a chance to apologize and instead, I would get a tongue-lashing. All things considered, it is not a good situation.”
“Uncle, if you could mediate, I am sure Miss Zhuang Qingning will respect you and calmly exchange a few words with me. If our two families could live in harmony without squabbles, wouldn’t that bring some peace to the village and give you peace of mind?”
He continued, “Earlier, when my son Yuanren returned home, he had mentioned his wish to invite you over, but there was simply not enough time. Once Yuanren finishes his exams and returns home, we will ensure that he pays you a visit to share the good news and we ask that you kindly enjoy a cup at our place.”
The last few sentences were subtly aimed at pleasing Zhuang Jingye and fostering a closer relationship.
Although Zhuang Yuanren might not necessarily succeed in the exams, he was, after all, a studious young man with chances of success. It would not be a bad thing to establish good relations early, especially if Zhuang Yuanren were to become successful and qualify as a student or even an imperial scholar in the future.
