Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Live-In Son-in-Law 41

All the men in the village went out to search, skipping dinner, and searched for an entire night but found nothing.

Exhausted and hungry, the villagers instantly vented their anger on Qin Dashan and Qin Fang, gathering at Uncle Qin Er’s doorstep, demanding compensation.

Those cattle were village property, treasures of the village, more valuable than people.

Qin Dashan and Qin Fang managed to lose five cows in an instant.

The villagers were heartbroken.

Everyone was clamoring for Qin Dashan and Qin Fang to pay compensation, and they wouldn’t leave Qin Laoer’s doorstep until it was paid.

Qin Dashan had no money, so the villagers demanded that Uncle Qin Er and Qin Dashan’s parents and siblings jointly compensate.

Qin Dashan’s parents and siblings naturally refused.

"We’ve long been divided from them, and the cattle they lost, why should we pay? If you want to cause trouble, go to Qin Dashan and Qin Fang, don’t come to my house to play rogue. We don’t owe the team any money."

"Right, we split from Qin Dashan long ago. Making us share the compensation responsibility with Qin Dashan, no matter how you say it, it doesn’t make sense."

"Exactly, you can cause a ruckus at the commune, but it won’t hold up. We are separated, living our own lives, we don’t have money to compensate him."

Uncle Qin Er and Aunt Qin also said, "Dashan and Xiao Fang are only temporarily staying at my place; Xiao Fang is a married woman, spilled water. The cattle they lost, you should get them to compensate, I’m an old man, I don’t have any money."

"Hey, Dashan and Xiao Fang didn’t want to lose the cattle either. What good will causing a fuss do? Better let Dashan and Xiao Fang write an IOU to the brigade, and pay back when they have money."

"That won’t do, five cows, several thousand bucks, with their current frail bodies, who knows when they can earn that much? No IOU, must pay immediately."

"Qin Laoer, didn’t you save an important person in Imperial City? Borrow some money from them."

"Exactly, those cattle are village property. If you don’t pay, don’t live in the village anymore."

"If you want them gone, the money must be paid first before they leave."

Qin Dashan and Qin Fang’s home was just robbed not long ago, and the couple earned very few work points, having no money, not a penny to their name.

With no other options, Qin Dashan and Qin Fang could only seek help from Uncle Qin Er, asking him to contact that big shot and borrow money.

No matter how much they could borrow, pay some to the village first, and write another IOU for the rest to repay slowly.

Otherwise, the couple really feared the villagers might tear them apart in their fury.

While Yuan Chun was happily eating the braised beef made early by Kang Chengbing, Uncle Qin Er and Qin Dashan also headed to the Imperial City to find the big shot to plead for money.

The big shot was silent for a while and then said, "I retired last year, my pension is much lower than my salary, I don’t have much money either."

Qin Dashan approached the big shot and suddenly knelt down, "Uncle Gao, please, help me just this once, I’ll work hard to repay you. I’ll write an IOU; I’m really driven to the end of my rope, otherwise Uncle and I wouldn’t trouble you."

The big shot sighed and said, "I’d like to help, but I don’t have that much money. I only have 200 bucks in my savings account, far too little."

He paused, then said, "How about this, I’ll see if I can borrow some for you both and see how much I can gather."

Qin Dashan was so grateful that he kowtowed to the big shot repeatedly, "Thank you, Uncle Gao, thank you, Uncle Gao, rest assured, I will definitely repay you this money."
