Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Why Bother at Such an Old Age?

"The elderly teacher has been educating children in our village for so many years, and even if he hasn’t made outstanding contributions, he is regarded by all the children in the village as part of their own family, something not just anyone can compare with,"

"Besides, this year the elderly teacher has thought of new teaching methods, and the children in our village are learning characters much faster than before, a feat unmatched by anyone else. Elder Mr. Zhou, if you want to teach, please go to some other village, because you certainly won’t be entering our school here."

I originally wanted to give him some face, but who knew this man was truly so obstinate—unable to hear reason, thinking he was so remarkable.

It was indeed an eye-opener, just how thick-skinned someone had to be, unable to realize their own worth!

And upon hearing Clan Chief Lin’s words, Elder Mr. Zhou’s face immediately turned sour.

Being rejected so thoroughly, doesn’t he care about his face at all?

"Clan Chief Lin, tell me the truth, did someone from the Geng Family come to talk to you? Is it that Lin Caisang doesn’t want our Zhou family to have a good life? This Lin Caisang truly doesn’t know how to respect her elders; is she trying to drive me to a dead end on purpose?"

He thought for a moment and his suspicions settled on Lin Caisang.

If it were not for Lin Caisang saying something to Clan Chief Lin, at the very least, he would have given him some courtesy, wouldn’t he? How could he speak in such final terms otherwise?

"What are you talking about, Elder Mr. Zhou? What does this have to do with that girl Sangsang?"

Clan Chief Lin’s face darkened with displeasure as he stared at Elder Mr. Zhou. Even without Lin Changfeng and Lin Changhong coming over to speak, he would not allow Elder Mr. Zhou to cause a ruckus in the school of Ya Village, got it?

Did this man have any self-awareness at all? Did he truly not understand what kind of person he was? With his current behavior, if he were really allowed into the school, what kind of good students would he teach?

Fearful that in the end, they would all end up like Elder Mr. Zhou, selfish and capable of all kinds of unscrupulous behavior, right?

"No wonder everyone in the village says that the people of the Zhou family are troublemakers; it seems they really are just as the rumors outside say. Elder Mr. Zhou, I must ask, what has the Lin Family done to offend you so much that you insist on causing them unrest?

You’re not young anymore—why bother? The one who eagerly sought to break off an engagement with the Lin Family, that was you, wasn’t it?

And the one who was caught meeting someone privately in the little bamboo grove, that was your grandson Zhou Liang, right? This is something many in our village saw with their own eyes.

How come you still feel wronged by the Lin Family now?

If you ask me, it’s not just that the Lin Family hasn’t done anything to you, but even if they were kicking you while you’re down, you would have no ground to complain, because, well, the Zhou family brought this upon themselves!"

"You..."

When Elder Mr. Zhou heard his words, he almost choked on his own indignation.

How could Clan Chief Lin be so foul-mouthed, daring to speak such things in front of him? He was a scholar, a juren!

"And another thing, Elder Mr. Zhou, what was that you said just now? Going to teach at the school?" Clan Chief Lin no longer cared to give Elder Mr. Zhou any respect.

With a look of disdain, he almost wished he could bore a hole right through him!
