The Princess of Northern Land Chapter 441-445

Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Contest (4)_1
“Mr. Ma, I really can’t help you.” Avoidance was no longer an option, so Lou Zheng had no choice but to steel himself and speak up first.

“Lou Zheng, you are the most warm-hearted and upright person in the village. I know that what the Ma Family did in the past was unjust. Haven’t I already apologized to the Lin Family multiple times? You see, we are all villagers, always coming across each other. Surely we can’t let our conflict with the Lin Family turn into a genuine feud, right?” Mr. Ma started pleading vehemently. “Zhou Family used to bully the Lin Family severely, yet the Lin Family forgave them. I assure you, if the Lin Family is willing to accept me as a worker, I will give it my all and will never have divided loyalties. My wife is a hand full, I will never let her cause trouble for the Lin Family.”

In order to secure work at the Lin Family, Mr. Ma was willing to sell out the Yan Family.

“Ziyin is quite busy these days, I can’t find a chance to see her. If you are truly inclined, it would be better if you went to her yourself.” Lou Zheng reluctantly declined.

“Before even that, I need to be able to enter the Lin Family’s front door. Lou Zheng, can you put in a good word for me, considering our village ties?” Mr. Ma pleaded, trying to appeal to his sense of familiarity.

“I have an entire family relying on me. The young master in the city has a gambling habit and sold off our shop. I am idle at home anyway. I could help the Lin family with their bookkeeping. I do have some experience.”

“The Lin Family does not take kindly to the Ma Family. Even my father cannot help you.” Lou Zheng was uncomfortable, but Wu Erli had no qualms in bluntly rejecting the request.
