Chapter 5: Collecting Debts

Poor Eldest Son Song. He was forced to marry by butcher Qin and his gang and to the woman who harmed him no less.

At that point, when butcher Qin came to their house to force the marriage on him, Liu Daniu even went to the Song family to help.

Liu Daniu felt even more nauseated when he recalled how he had seen Qin Sanya up close.

Previously, he had been envious of Eldest Son Song. He was good at his studies, good-looking, and was praised by everyone. He was even the most outstanding offspring, in his parents' own words.

Yet now, Liu Daniu was not envious at all. In fact, he even felt a little sympathetic… 

Eldest Son Song married such a tigress. No, wait, it was a fat tigress.

Wouldn't even a brick bed collapse at night?

Oh, wrong.

In the Song family's current thatched house, where would they get a brick bed?

Shaking his head, Liu Daniu couldn't help but glance at his wife.

His Big Girl was also strong and had a loud voice.

However, compared to Qin Sanya, she was a fairy.

At the thought of this, Liu Daniu chuckled. He felt he had to treasure the person in front of him and treat his wife better.

"Yo, aren't you from Eldest Son Song's family? Where did you get so many things from?" When Liu Daniu and his wife saw Qin Xiaoyao, they did not dare to greet her, but someone else shouted out to Qin Xiaoyao.

This person was Uncle Wang's wife, Aunt Wang, a famous talkative woman in Brook Falls Village.

Not only was she talkative, but she also liked to gossip behind people's backs and take advantage of others.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao carrying a big load on her back, and her hands were full while something was draped over her shoulders, Aunt Wang's eyes stared fixedly at Qin Xiaoyao.

Good grief. There were three pheasants, two hares, and a big basket of wild vegetables.

As for the thing on the girl's shoulder, it looked like sticks of firewood, but she didn't know what it was.

It would be difficult even for a man to carry so many things.

This Qin Sanya was really lucky, wasn't she?

Qin Xiaoyao still had the original memories of her predecessor, so how could she not know Aunt Wang?

Back then, in order to find out more about the situation in Brook Falls Village, her predecessor had tried to cozy up to Aunt Wang.

In other words, she had been scammed out of her money by this old woman many times.

Qin Xiaoyao knew what Aunt Wang was thinking when she saw her expression.

"I got it from deep inside the mountains. There's nothing to eat at home, and my husband injured his leg yesterday. The whole family will starve to death if I don't go into the mountains," Qin Xiaoyao replied.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, do you have any rice and flour? I'm going to make dinner when I get back. The rice and flour jars at home had long been emptied. Can you lend me some?" she quickly said before Aunt Wang could open her mouth.

After her predecessor married into Brook Falls Village, the villagers ignored her.

Aunt Wang was the only one who had always been polite to her.

Of course, she wasn't really being polite. She was just taking the opportunity to ask Qin Sanya for things every few days.

Previously, she wanted to borrow some copper coins, but when she saw that she had no money, Aunt Wang began asking for grain, oil, rice, and so on.

It could be said that the Song family's current poverty had a lot to do with her predecessor's pride which prompted her to keep 'lending' things to this Aunt Wang.

She couldn't change what had happened in the past.

However, when it came to Qin Xiaoyao, this old bitch could forget about plucking a single hair from her!

As expected, Aunt Wang's expression changed when she heard this.

"We… we have also run out of rice and flour at home. We don't even have enough for ourselves, so how can we lend you some?" she turned to Qin Xiaoyao and said. Her tone was also very unfriendly.

"Oh, that's really unfortunate!" Qin Xiaoyao replied.

"If you don't have, then forget it! Your family has to eat too, and you have to buy it sooner or later. "

"I remember that you still owe me ten bowls of brown rice and five bowls of flour. Remember to return it to me after you buy it!" Qin Xiaoyao said in a straightforward manner.

The people in the field were shocked when they heard this.

Many people looked at Aunt Wang with strange expressions.

Almost everyone in the village knew that Aunt Wang liked to borrow things from others.

However, after lending her things, it wasn't so easy to get them back.

Even if one got his item back, she could still badmouth that person behind him for quite a while.

Due to this propensity, very few people in Brook Falls Village were willing to lend things to Aunt Wang.

When Big Girl Li married into the Liu family, her mother-in-law and husband specifically reminded her to have less contact with Aunt Wang and not to lend anything to Aunt Wang.

When she heard Qin Xiaoyao's words, Big Girl Li's heart trembled.

She was glad that she had listened to her mother-in-law and didn't lend anything to Aunt Wang.

Auntie Wang's face turned red with anger when Qin Xiaoyao brought up this matter in front of so many people.

"Oh, yes. There are still the hundred copper coins too. Your Dashan seems to be coming back today, right? Why don't I go and ask Dashan for it?" Qin Xiaoyao spoke as if she had suddenly recalled something.

She was referring to Wang Dashan, Aunt Wang's son.

A month ago, he found a job in town and worked as a waiter in a teahouse.

As there was accommodation at the teahouse, Wang Dashan only came back once every half a month.

Ever since Wang Dashan went to work in town and Aunt Wang stayed in Brook Falls Village, she became as proud as a peacock.

Now that Qin Xiaoyao said that she was going to ask her son for money and embarrass her son, Aunt Wang almost exploded in anger.

"Bullshit, what 100 copper coins? There are only 75 of them in total!" She immediately started scolding Qin Xiaoyao.

This damn girl must have gone crazy thinking about money!

The people around them were shocked.

There… there really was such a thing?

Qin Sanya, this evil tyrant, actually lent money and food to Aunt Wang?

Qin Xiaoyao merely smiled.

"Hehe, I remembered wrongly. It was indeed 75 copper coins! It's fine as long as you remember." 

"My husband injured his leg and is currently in need of money to see a doctor. If you don't have any rice and flour now, you can return them to me another day." 

"But my husband is waiting for this money to save his life, so we can't delay! I'll have to trouble you to send the copper coins to my house later."

"Otherwise, I'll have to go and look for Dashan!"

Qin Xiaoyao laughed when she saw that Aunt Wang was about to scold her again. She continued saying, "Oh, that's right. Tomorrow, I'll help my husband look for a doctor. I'm planning to go back to my maternal hometown." 

"I heard from my father that Dashan's employer often buys meat from his stall."

It was an innocuous sentence, but it landed like a heavy hammer that instantly smashed into Aunt Wang's heart.

Aunt Wang was so scared that her face turned pale.

This wretched girl was too vicious.

Did this mean that if she didn't return the money, Qin Sanya would let butcher Qin report this matter to her son's boss?

Thinking of butcher Qin, Aunt Wang's body trembled.

That butcher Qin was tall and strong. He also had two sons who were also tall and strong.

Back when they had come to Brook Falls Village to force the marriage, if Eldest Son Song had not agreed, butcher Qin would have burned down his house.

If Qin Sanya really went back to look for butcher Qin and her two brothers… 

With her son Dashan's physique, how could he possibly stand up against them?

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang could only try her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Okay! I'll pay! I was prepared to send it to you in the next two days, but you're so anxious!" Aunt Wang tried her best to force a smile.

Qin Xiaoyao's lips curled up.
