Chapter 544: Chapter 544: I'll Pay You Back

Tong Xingda understood better than the Zhang Family.

In demanding silver, he was converting the debt of favour that Qiao Xiaomai owed into a monetary debt.

What kind of debt is the hardest to repay?

The answer is naturally a debt of favour.

Especially when this debt of favour includes the grace of saving a life.

That day, when Tong Sanlang had exhausted all his strength to block Cen Hong and save Qiao Xiaomai, the whole village had seen it.

With this debt of favour in place, he could ask Qiao Xiaomai to do many things and he could keep asking over and over again. As long as his demands were not excessive, he could burden her with this obligation for a lifetime.

If she pays with silver, then the balance between the Qiao Family and the Tong Family would be cleared.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to simplify such a precious debt of favour into a monetary debt.
