Chapter 1157: Here to talk about business
How could Lin Xing not see through Old Master Ying’s thoughts? He narrowed his eyes and then simply said, " Don’t even think about it, you want the entire village to pay for your sins? Never! We did not even take out ten taels to dig two more wells as that was all that we had left. If you cannot pay then you might as well go to the Yamen and surrender yourself!"
Back when the wells were being dug, Old Master Ying refused to take out a single coin but he was the first one who would fill buckets of water to bring home. Well, it was right to say that he was only in charge of telling Ying Nan how many buckets of water he wanted as for the rest of the thing he did not care about it at all.
When Old Master Ying heard the word Yamen, his legs softened. He did not want to head over to the Yamen. After all, he was just a simple mer who was responsible for working hard and cooking meals for his family, why should he head over to the Yamen?
" On what basis are you going to send me to Yamen," he questioned causing Lin Xing to laugh.
He answered with a snort, " On the basis that you create a ruckus every day! On the basis that even when everyone told you that you should not be so hard on Ying Nan, you turned a dead ear to what we said. On the basis that you used your stepson like some leverage that you had over Madam Song!"
Old Master Ying wanted to say something but he was stopped by Old Madam Ying who smiled at the crowd that was standing in front of their house and agreed amicably, " Sure, Sure there is no need to worry. We will definitely bring out the sum of money. Just give us a day, all right? We are not asking for too much after all."
When Old Master Ying heard his wife’s words., he wanted to stop her but he felt a sudden pinch on his waist and turned quiet.
Li Xing did not want to agree with Old Madam Ying’s suggestion however when he thought about how he shouldn’t rip off the remaining courtesy so haphazardly, he swallowed his words and agreed.
Thus, the next morning when Yu Dong came to the Big Mountain Village she saw Old Master Ying handing ten taels to Da Qiao while muttering about Ying Nan being a jinx and ruining everything for them.
Her lips twitched when she heard Old Master Ying’s words, he was really amusing if one did not know they would think that Old Master Ying was some pitiful stepfather who was suffering under the might of his unruly stepson.
" Alright, that’s enough. Are you going to let others see a joke?" Da Qiao frowned and said when she saw Yu Dong arriving at her house, she wanted to say something more but she did not want Yu Dong to see the joke of their village which was why she stopped Old Master Ying from speaking anymore.
Old Master Ying also saw Yu Dong which was why he closed his mouth and then turned to leave after bowing to Yu Dong.
Once he left Yu Dong turned to Da Qiao and asked, " Having a tough time?" Stay connected with novelhall.Côm
Da Qiao smiled wretchedly and then sighed, " Sometimes I think that I was the one who did the wrong thing by accepting the role of being the village head of this village." She did not say much but instead asked her husband to take the ten taels inside before turning to look at Yu Dong as she asked, " Is there something that you wanted to tell me?"
Was there something else that was going to happen?
Yu Dong smiled upon seeing the nervous look on the face of Da Qiao and then replied, " I only came here to talk to you about business."
