The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug 129 Chapter Wang Dashan’s Collapse

129 Chapter 129: Wang Dashan’s Collapse
In the end, the Qian family had the advantage in numbers, and the father and son were both beaten up.
After returning to Brook Falls Village, Wang Dashan suggested going out to look for Wang Dashi. He was prepared to go to the Qian family again with a few more people.
However, Wang Laoshuan got cold feet and even tried to stop Wang Dashan from doing so.
Helpless, Wang Dashan could only approach the village chief and Wang Dashi himself.
The village chief agreed to help get in touch with the village chief in charge of the village where Madam Qian’s family was located.
However, Wang Dashi did not agree to go to the Qian family with Wang Dashan because of Madam Zhao.
Left with no choice, Wang Dashan thought of his boss in town.
Hence, he came to town to look for the innkeeper.
Much to his surprise, the innkeeper had already fired Wang Dashan because the latter didn’t ask for leave from the innkeeper in time. Wang Dashan had been so busy with the family’s affairs that he didn’t have time to apply for leave.
Therefore, not only did he not manage to borrow any money, he also lost his job.
“Boo hoo hoo… Xiaomei, Big Brother is useless! Big Brother is really useless!” After saying all this, Wang Dashan almost burst into tears as he hugged Wang Xiaomei.
He had not revealed that after all these things happened, not only did his father not reflect on his actions, but he also blamed Wang Dashan for going back and being a busybody.
He claimed that it was because Wang Dashan meddled in Xiaomei’s affairs that he had to divorce his mother. And now the house was not like a home anymore. To top it off, the money his family had given away could never be taken back.
Wang Dashan hated himself. He hated himself for having such a father and mother.
He was also powerless to change the situation, much less save his younger sister.
Madam Liu sighed as she watched.
Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que simply frowned.
Wang Xiaomei patted Wang Dashan’s arm to comfort her big brother and gazed at Qin Xiaoyao with an apologetic look.
Qin Xiaoyao remained silent.
She only spoke again after Wang Dashan had recovered himself somewhat.
“With your current condition, how many more days do you think you’ll need in order to get ten taels of silver?”
Wang Dashan was stunned.
“10… er, no! 20 days,” he hurriedly said.
Wang Dashan’s tone was filled with uncertainty when he saw his younger sister shaking her head at him.
With the current situation, he was not sure if he could get the silver back even if he were given two more months, much less 20 days.
After all, the people from the Qian family were too fierce.
“Hmph,” Qin Xiaoyao gave a soft laugh.
Wang Dashan lowered his head when he saw her response.
“I understand that you’re eager to save your younger sister, but there’s no point in lying to us.”
“The agreement between our two families was very clear. If you can’t come up with the money to redeem her within five days, Xiaomei will become a slave.”
“But now that the time is up, you’re asking for an extension.”
“Hmph! If you’re really capable and can gather the money in a short time, then it doesn’t matter.”
“But you clearly don’t have the confidence, yet you’re trying to deceive me and delay my affairs. That’s not a good intention on your part.”
Wang Dashan felt ashamed when he heard that.
“To put it bluntly, if I give you an extra twenty days this time, what happens after that? Are you going to ask me for another twenty days?”
“Your current situation is indeed pitiful, but your pitiful state is not caused by my family.”
“The Song family has no reason to give you an extension,” Qin Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Madam Liu was surprised to hear her.
After a moment of surprise, she realized that her daughter-in-law had a point.
Following that, she no longer felt as sympathetic toward Wang Dashan as before.
As for Song Que, after listening to Qin Xiaoyao, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Qin Xiaoyao with much more admiration.
“Boo hoo hoo… But…” Wang Dashan wanted to protest.
The grief and helplessness in his heart made him cry again.
After hearing Qin Xiaoyao’s words, he also realized his own problem.
However, he had no choice but to beg her.
Thud! Wang Dashan knelt down in front of Qin Xiaoyao again.
“Mrs. Song… Boo hoo hoo… I’m sorry, Mrs. Song! I… I had no other choice. Boo hoo hoo… I really don’t have a choice!” Wang Dashan clutched his head and almost broke down.
Upon seeing this, Wang Xiaomei also knelt down before Qin Xiaoyao.
“Mrs. Song…” she called out to Qin Xiaoyao while looking at her big brother worriedly.
Qin Xiaoyao understood what Wang Xiaomei meant.
Seeing Wang Dashan in this state, she finally relented.
“Get up first. The situation is not as bad as you think,” she said.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed a little too harsh to request Wang Dashan not to use emotional blackmail on the Song family.
Moreover, after she had exposed his intentions, Wang Dashan did not show any signs of being embittered. Instead, he knelt down and apologized, which was already remarkable.
...
After Wang Xiaomei helped Wang Dashan up, Qin Xiaoyao told him about her agreement with Wang Xiaomei that she was to work as a long-term worker for at least five years.
“I’ve said before that I’m short of useful people around me. If I give you another 20 days, it’s just a waste of time waiting meaninglessly. Therefore, I won’t agree to grant any time extension,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
Wang Dashan was stupefied when he heard that.
Then, he quickly came back to his senses.
“So, after five years, I can still redeem Xiaomei?” he asked Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly.
And during these five years, Xiaomei didn’t need to live as a slave?
Qin Xiaoyao nodded. “At that time, if Xiaomei has money, she can even redeem herself.”
After looking at Wang Dashan from head to toe, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Given your current situation, I think the probability of Xiaomei buying her own freedom is higher than you redeeming her.”
These words were somewhat of a blow to Wang Dashan. When he heard it, he was not angry. Instead, he became more clear-headed.
“Thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Song. I will work hard to earn money! In the next five years, I’ll definitely save enough money to redeem Xiaomei!” he hurriedly said.
Qin Xiaoyao pursed her lips.
...
When she saw Wang Xiaomei smiling at her big brother, she didn’t say anything else to discourage Wang Dashan.
“That’s enough. Since you can accept this arrangement, you should leave as soon as possible.”
“In addition, regarding the Song family’s manner of dealing with Xiaomei, the result is the same as what we had said to the people of Brook Falls Village. Do you understand?” Qin Xiaoyao added.
Wang Dashan was dumbfounded.
He quickly figured out some of the key points.
“I understand! When I go back, I’ll tell Father that Xiaomei has already become a slave. To prevent Father from coming here to cause trouble for Xiaomei and the Song family.”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction.
Only then did she gesture for Wang Xiaomei to send Wang Dashan off.
The brother and sister thanked Qin Xiaoyao and the rest of the Song family.
The siblings then left the hall and walked towards the courtyard gate.
The Song family didn’t follow them out but chose to give the brother and sister some time alone.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Wang Dashan verified with his younger sister whether what Qin Xiaoyao said was true. After finding out that his younger sister was living a good life with the Song family, he finally felt relieved.
“Don’t worry. Five years later, Big Brother will definitely save up enough money to redeem you,” Wang Dashan said with determination.
Wang Xiaomei laughed.
“Five years is still a long way off. Big Brother, you should take care of yourself first.”
“After this, it’s better that you don’t go to the Qian family anymore, Big Brother.”
“Simply asking Uncle Village Chief to step in may be able get us some money back.”
A look of dejection flashed across her face as Wang Xiaomei continued, “If you really can’t get it back, then forget it.”
“If the Qian family doesn’t return the money, Mother won’t be able to return. With her gone, Big Brother, you may… perhaps be able to live more freely in the future.”
