Upon hearing that twenty taels had turned into fifty taels, the onlookers collectively gasped.
It was clear that the Zheng Family intended to claim someone else's daughter, and twenty taels was already a considerable amount, let alone fifty.
People as poor as them, where would they see so much silver?
Old An's face turned red with anger, "Old Zheng, you're being unreasonable."
The old Zheng stood tall in the yard, his nostrils nearly pointing to the sky, "What's unreasonable about it? Paying back debts is a matter of principle."
He was among the wealthier people in the area, known for his domineering presence wherever he went.
"We clearly borrowed twenty taels, but you're forcing us to repay fifty. Isn't that being unreasonable?"
Old Zheng snorted, "What you're saying is wrong, like I'm bullying you. Go ask around, see how much others have repaid me after borrowing silver."
Old An regretted his decisions deeply, wondering how he fell into their trap.
