After being firmly refused by Lin Jie, the Ma family's elderly woman remained silent for the next two days.
Lin Jie, however, felt somewhat regretful.
He thought he should have refused a bit more tactfully at the time. Now, being so blunt, even if the high reward is not forfeited, it will probably be significantly reduced.
Regarding Wei Zhifeng's matter, not a single rumor spread out.
Those involved, like Lin Jie, are people of quality and high moral character, so they naturally wouldn't gossip about Wei Zhifeng. As long as he doesn't act up, this matter will probably remain buried in the hearts of these few people.
On Thursday morning, Lin Jie received two pieces of good news in succession, which brightened his mood considerably.
The first piece of good news was that the issue with the monkey, Zhu Peng, finally had a resolution.
