Chapter 228: Chapter 210 To Cause Trouble Bo_2

With a deep sigh, "Alas, I might have overworked myself these past few days, my body seems to be failing me again. I even had a fever last night, thankfully, we had some medicine at home... My body is really useless."

Rong Yan:...

She slightly raised an eyebrow, not expecting Old Mr. Rong still had some acting in him!

On hearing Rong Wenming’s words, Captain Qin didn’t know how to start the conversation.

The man had already mentioned his poor health, how could they bring up the matter of taking an apprentice?

Huang Cuihua, however, was not as conflicted as he was; she had already been waiting impatiently, and her husband was still not getting to the point.

She was in a hurry, so she took the initiative herself.

With a smile full of wrinkles, "Uncle, it’s like this, we came to ask you for a favor. Teaching one person is the same as teaching two, so why not take in my youngest son as an apprentice and let him learn a craft from you? Don’t worry, I’ve brought all the food for the apprenticeship. Just accept my youngest son, and from then on, you and your wife will be like his birth parents, and he will respect you for a lifetime."

Moreover, there was only one daughter, Rong Yan, married off from the Rong Family, so when they got old, there would be no one to tend to them. If her youngest son became their apprentice, he wouldn’t mind tending to them later on.

However, this would mean that after they passed away, all the property and the house would belong to her youngest son.

After all, he would be considered as their son.

This idea had actually come to her in just the last half an hour.

Seeing Lady Rong Yan dressed so clean and looking so young, it was obvious they did not lack money.

The Rong Family was not short of money, but they lacked a son!

Having only one daughter, wouldn’t that mean the family line would end?

The ancient traditions hadn’t allowed for daughters to tend to their parents, had they?

Rong Wenming also felt infuriated by this conversation, did they think he was a fool? Who needed their son to show respect?

He had his own daughter and son-in-law!

Rong Yan felt a chill spread throughout her body on hearing these words.

Her voice was cold as ice,

"My father doesn’t lack people to show respect, he has his daughter and son-in-law! We don’t need your youngest son, and besides, my dad came here to recuperate, not to be worn out with worry and toil. Even if he were willing to teach, I would never agree, after all, I only have one father. If anything happens to his health, there’s no way to give me another father in this world."

"So, taking an apprentice is out of the question. If you came for that, then you can go back now."

Captain Qin and Huang Cuihua hadn’t expected Rong Yan to reject them so straightforwardly.

Their faces looked very unsightly.

Especially Huang Cuihua, who didn’t expect Rong Yan, after chatting somewhat amiably with her for a while, to reject her proposal outright, without showing any semblance of consideration.

Suppressing the anger welling up inside her, she managed a strained smile,

"Qin Ye’s Wife, we know your father is not in great health, but teaching something is also a physical task... that should be unrelated, shouldn’t it? My youngest has been smart since childhood, he learns quickly and won’t wear out your father."

"Also, we will give your father... twenty yuan, as a gesture of respect from my youngest son." Speaking more shrewdly than usual, she had planned to give ten yuan but addling painfully, she doubled the amount to twenty.

With the food added to the mix... who ever paid so much for an apprenticeship?

In her mind, the father and daughter’s refusal to let her son learn the craft must be because they thought the apprenticeship offering was too little.

"Even if you gave a hundred, it still wouldn’t be okay. My father’s health is more important to me than money. I can’t let him overexert himself. If you really want your son to learn how to repair tractors, you should go to the agricultural machinery station and find a master, because without hands-on operation, mere instruction is useless."

Huang Cuihua was displeased, "How could it be useless? Didn’t Qin Ye also learn? He never touched a tractor... Anyway, Old Mr. Rong teaching one or two doesn’t make a difference, just let my youngest learn something from him... He’s really smart."

Rong Yan didn’t see any signs of Qin Liangyu, standing before her, being particularly smart. If she wasn’t mistaken, he had only completed two years of elementary school, right?

She scoffed inwardly.

"Auntie, who said Qin Ye learned how to repair tractors from my dad? He learned from my late father-in-law."

Huang Cuihua immediately widened her eyes, "Impossible..."

"What’s impossible? My father-in-law was a very capable man. He could drive, and when he was in the military, he learned how to repair vehicles. Fixing tractors was a minor task for him."

"You don’t believe it, you can go to the agricultural machinery station and ask Station Chief Du. He has repaired their tractors several times, so privately teaching Qin Ye, isn’t that quite normal?"

Of course, Huang Cuihua didn’t believe it, "If Qin Ye had that skill from before, then why would he need to work in the fields here? The agricultural machinery station would have recruited him long ago."

Rong Yan looked at her, "The reason is that he wants to stay in this village, after all, he has to protect Qin Yu and Qin Mei from being bullied."
