Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Live-in Son-in-law 42

The big shot has no money because it was all coaxed away by his children.

The big shot first called his children to borrow money, but when they heard Qin Dashan was the one borrowing, they all said they didn’t have any money.

The big shot’s face turned black with anger.

But it was useless to be angry, as the daughters wouldn’t lend money.

The big shot then called all his old buddies one by one to borrow money.

The big shot’s old buddies were also big shots. When he asked, they couldn’t refuse, and soon, the big shot borrowed three thousand yuan.

The cow Qin Dashan lost was an adult cow, weighing over a thousand pounds and worth over a thousand yuan each. Although the three thousand yuan wasn’t sufficient for compensation, having this money stopped the villagers from pressuring them.

The remaining two thousand yuan, Qin Dashan wrote an IOU to the village.

However, after such an incident, Qin Dashan and Qin Fang lost their cattle herding jobs, and they had to work in the fields with the rest of the villagers.

Before, the villagers might have pitied them for not being in good health and not able to do farm work, but now, with a debt of two thousand yuan owed to the village, the villagers wished for them to earn ten work points per day to pay back the money quickly.

And because Qin Dashan and Qin Fang had to do farm work, they had less time to go up the mountain and fewer opportunities to find treasures there.

No more wild chickens and rabbits, no more wild eggs, no more mushrooms and fungi...

The quality of life for Qin Dashan’s family dropped significantly.

Qin Dashan and Qin Fang suffered from aching legs every night due to daily farm work. Qin Fang often woke up in the middle of the night in pain, rubbing her legs and crying.

But with so much money owed to the village, no matter the pain, they had to keep working.

Qin Dashan had initially thought of buying some mountain goods and eggs from the village and secretly selling them on the black market for a bit of profit margin, but after a day’s work, his legs hurt too much, and he couldn’t walk at all.

So, the couple struggled and endured.

They endured for two years until the collective system shifted to private farming and the economy opened up, giving Qin Dashan and Qin Fang a glimmer of hope.

Qin Dashan took the little money they had and started buying mountain goods from the village, then used a cart to haul them to the newly opened farmer’s market in the city to sell.

At the end of the month, they made over five hundred yuan.

More than a worker’s annual salary.

Qin Dashan was extremely pleased.

Seeing how profitable this business was, Qin Fang didn’t want to stay at home either; she helped sell the goods in the city.

Qin Dashan was in charge of procurement, while she was responsible for selling.

Because of the distance from the city, Qin Fang even spent money to rent a house in the city to avoid the daily commuting. When Qin Dashan procured goods, he would deliver them to her.

As their funds grew, Qin Dashan purchased more and more mountain goods. After buying from the village, he went to neighboring villages and even further places to obtain more goods.

The couple’s hard work paid off at the end of the month, earning nine hundred yuan this month.

Adding last month’s earnings of five hundred yuan, they now had over a thousand yuan.

Holding so much money, Qin Fang and Qin Dashan found joy even in hardship.

The Sheng Family.

and Yuan Chun watched a live stream from the male lead’s home. 007 questioned Yuan Chun, "Host, why don’t you just steal all of Qin Dashan and Qin Fang’s money? They have over a thousand yuan. If they open a store or buy a house, wouldn’t that benefit them?"

"What’s the rush? If I take it now, they won’t be motivated to earn more. Let them earn more for me to take all at once," Yuan Chun was not worried that Qin Dashan and Qin Fang would use the money to buy a house.
