Chapter 147: Venting Anger
Translator: 549690339
Were Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng brothers instigated by someone?
Zhuang Yonghe was suddenly taken aback.
At the moment, Zhuang Yutian was frowning, just about to speak. The more straightforward Zhuang Yucheng instantly slapped his thigh and indignantly said, “Zhuang Qingning, even if you hadn’t asked about this matter, I was intending to discuss it.”
“It’s been quite a while since my older brother and I had come home. We only came back to pay respects on my father’s death anniversary. We didn’t stay for long and left. We didn’t even interact much with the villagers. Logically speaking, we did not know that you had leased the tofu workshop.”
“But a few days ago, Zhuang Ruman individually sought out my older brother and me, stating that you rented the tofu workshop. Initially, my older brother and I were not too concerned. After all, the tofu workshop remained unused, and if it was being leased, it was our mother’s decision to do so. It is her tofu workshop, if she wishes to rent it out, then she may do so.”
“However, what Zhuang Ruman then said was that you had deceived our mother and obtained the secret recipe for tofu making. Furthermore, he claimed that in the future, my mother would give you the tofu workshop and the house. That’s when my older brother and I started to panic.”
“Regardless of whether the tofu workshop and the house are worthless, we cannot stand being deceived. Moreover, if our mother is willing to offer you these things, it is likely that she has been bewitched. Eventually, she will try to give you everything we’ve given her, including the money, and even attempt to drain us completely for your gain.”
“With these thoughts, my brother and I grew more anxious and felt that this is most certainly a matter of urgency. You certainly can’t be trusted and shouldn’t be anywhere near our mother to cause harm in the future. We, brothers, decided to rush back immediately and prevent our mother from being deceived by you.”
“Before we could utter a few words of persuasion, our mother started reproaching us. We dared not defy her too much, so we angrily left the house. We felt that you were highly cunning to have deceived our mother in such a manner, so we came looking for trouble with you…”
Zhuang Yucheng progressively grew more embarrassed, “We really didn’t imagine that this was all just a misunderstanding.”
“To be honest, it’s all Zhuang Ruman’s fault. He falsely accused you in front of us, we worried about our mother being duped, so we hurried over to remove you from the tofu workshop…”
“We, brothers, rushed over without clarifying the situation properly. It was our mistake. However, Zhuang Ruman was indeed the one manipulating this situation. I will have to find him later and give him a piece of my mind over this matter and help you vent your anger!”
“This is your real uncle. He doesn’t think about his niece’s well-being at all but causes her trouble out of greed for money. His heart is black, he must be taught a lesson, lest he sets his mind on troubling someone else in the future.” “Hmm, it is indeed the case.” The steady Zhuang Yutian nodded in confirmation.
Originally, Zhuang Qingning asked them, brothers, to promise her two things. They initially thought it was about some significant matter that made their hearts palpitate. Now they heard the first matter was just about finding out the instigator behind the scenes.
If that’s the case, they, brothers, felt it was not enough to make up for the remorse they had towards Zhuang Qingning. They decided to include teaching Zhuang Ruman a lesson and vent Zhuang Qingning’s anger.
Since they were deceived, they also felt quite aggrieved. Determining this matter with Zhuang Ruman was something they had to do anyway. They just happened to be available to handle it.
After listening to Zhuang Yucheng’s words, Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips slightly.
As expected, her guesses were not far off.
As Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng brothers mentioned, they seldom visited the village and had a tense relationship with Mrs. Wen. They were unaware of most things happening in the village. However, now they suddenly came back to cause her trouble with such definite purpose and fierce momentum, there must be someone who had sought them out and said something.
There may be people in the village who are envious and even jealous of others making money. Still, considering that they all live in the same village, many people just ridicule or slight others behind their backs.
Only those who dislike her to the extreme, like Zhuang Ruman and his family, can take such drastic measures and aim to pull the rug out from under her feet directly.
“It seems that my uncle’s heart is indeed quite dark,” Zhuang Qingning sneered.
“Isn’t it just? He harbors ill intentions and would even resort to such acts.”
Zhuang Yucheng, an outspoken man with little patience for deception, hated those who were unkind the most. Now he was righteously indignant, “Zhuang Qingning, don’t worry. I’ll stir up a storm in Zhuang Ruman’s home. This grievance can’t be swallowed!”
“Of course, the main intention is to vent Zhuang Qingning’s anger…”
Zhuang Yucheng, noticing that his tone didn’t prioritize Zhuang Qingning, quickly altered his words.
“Uncle Yucheng, helping me vent my anger is naturally the best outcome.” Zhuang Qingning quirked an eyebrow, “But before you help me vent my anger, Uncle Yucheng, you should take care of another matter first.”
“Namely, the second thing I mentioned.”
After saying so, she looked at Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng brothers and turned up the corner of her mouth slightly.
The faint smile on her face made the brothers subconsciously tense up, straightening their backs ffurther.
“Zhuang Qingning, please tell us, what would you have us do?” Zhuang Yutian asked with a slight tremble in his voice.
“Well, I would like Uncle Yutian and Uncle Yucheng…”
Zhuang Qingning paused for a moment and continued, “To hurry home and properly apologize to Aunt Wen.”
This…
The brothers were stunned again.
They originally thought that she verbally devalued the situation to increase the difficulty level of what was to come. They never expected that she would ask them to coax their own mother now.
What kind of request is this?
The brothers looked unbelievingly at Zhuang Qingning.
“This matter greatly misunderstood Aunt Wen and me. As far as I am concerned, even though I am upset, both of you uncles have been quite sincere and are Aunt Wen’s relatives. Whether considering Aunt Wen’s care for me or the camaraderie of the villagers, coupled with both of you promising to teach my money-minded uncle a lesson, I will let this matter pass. I will not bring it up anymore in the future, and both of you uncles need not dwell on it.”
“But about Aunt Wen… After all, you’re her biological sons, and there are many things one can discuss openly. I, as an outsider, shouldn’t overstep my boundaries. But, considering the special circumstances in your family, coupled with the increased respect for Aunt Wen after working at the tofu workshop for a while, I can’t help but advise..”
