Kapitel 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?
