Chapter 442: Contest (5)_1
With that, he carried his bundle with a huff into his own house.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He grumbled discontentedly at his house, "I have already asked someone to speak to the Lin Family on my behalf, and in a few days, I will be working as a manager in their workshop. You should simply stay at home and study. Why bother with other people’s nonsense? Also, when you come across people from the Lin Family in the future, don’t show me any attitude."
Inside the house, Ma Zhicai, lying on his bed and listening without response, his face was marked with anger. What was the point of studying hard? He saw right through the people of the Lin Family - a family that held grudges for even the smallest faults, particularly Lin Ziyin, who was petty-minded. With her around, he didn’t expect to turn his life around in this lifetime.
However, upon further thought, he felt that his father, Ma Dalang, was correct about one thing. To accomplish the task given by the Tatar, he still had to keep a low profile in Shili Village.
"Uncle Lou Zheng, did you really agree to speak on behalf of the Ma Family?" After Ma Zhicai left, someone came over to ask.
"What else can I do?" Wu Erli replied huffily, "He was persistent like a leech, refusing to let go. How could my father lose face?"
"Don’t get involved with the Ma Family. They are all troublemakers," somebody else advised with a laugh.
"I merely passed on the message. Whether it will succeed or not is not up to me. After all, Ziyin is not a fool." Lou Zheng took it in stride, with no real expectation that the Ma Family would remember his favor.
