Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Chapter 74: Settling New and Old Accounts Togetheri (2/2)

Despite Wang Haikun’s brute strength and robust frame, he was a complete landlubber.

It was just that he had done so much evil in the village that now absolutely no one was willing to lend him a hand.

“Kun-ye, how could you be so careless? It’s one thing to hit me, but to fall into the water yourself! Too careless!”

Qin Niu pulled Xiao Nui ashore and watched Wang Haikun flounder in the floodwaters, without any intention of rescuing him.

“Everyone saw it, ah, it was Kun-ye who hit me, then accidentally fell into the water. It has nothing to do with me.”

Qin Niu said to the onlooking villagers who were there for the excitement.

“We all saw it, don’t worry.”

Liu Shengli was not afraid of Wang Haikun, because the Liu Family was a large clan.

They had many males.

He was the first to join the conversation.

“He fell in by himself!”

The other villagers chimed in one after another.

Wang Haikun, floundering in the water, nearly died of rage, and with several mouthfuls of floodwater in his stomach, he frantically flailed and shouted for help again.

The water at the shore was not deep, perhaps just a little over a meter.

If he had even a slight knowledge of swimming, he could easily have made it to the shore.

At this moment, Wang Haikun was desperately flailing toward the deeper parts of the floodwaters.

As he found himself drifting further from the shore, he felt an overwhelming despair and fear.

“All Niu, save me, save me quickly!”

“I’ll never steal your stuff again!”

Wang Haikun quickly shouted to Qin Niu on the shore.

If he didn’t struggle, his body would sink. But when he flailed, he drifted toward the deeper parts of the floodwaters.

This must have been the most fearful and desperate moment for Wang Haikun.

“Kun-ye, sorry, but I’ve used up all my strength saving this calf.”

Qin Niu was more than happy to see this troublemaker drown, so why would he lift a finger to save him?

Just then, an old man with a hunched back appeared on the shore, none other than Wang Haikun’s own uncle, Wang Yuzhu.

“Haikun, catch the rope.”

Wang Yuzhu didn’t know where he got the rope from, it must have been hastily taken from a net.

He threw it to Wang Haikun in the water.

The first throw missed.

Wang Haikun was so anxious he was nearly crying.

“Uncle, aim better! If I die, you won’t even have a place to eat.”

At this moment, all Wang Haikun hoped for was to grab the lifesaving rope and make it alive to the shore.

He was Wang Yuzhu’s long-term meal ticket.

Who knows whether it was that remark or something else, but this time Wang Yuzhu threw the rope with deadly accuracy.

It was successfully caught by Wang Haikun.

Then little by little, he was pulled to shore.

By the time Wang Haikun climbed onto the shore, his stomach was round like a ball, presumably having swallowed quite a bit of water.

The villagers had dispersed long ago — at this point, nobody wanted to cross him.

Qin Niu, leading the rescued calf, felt very happy in his heart.

For a farmer, having a cow was extremely important.

If raised well, there would be a strong helping hand for plowing the fields in the future.

“Hey, young man on the far bank, what’s your name?”

A man’s shout came from the other side of the floodwaters.

Next to the man stood a graceful young girl, but they were too far away to see clearly.

“All Niu, it’s double happiness! Hurry and answer, that girl seems to have taken a liking to you.”

Someone said to Qin Niu with a laugh.

However, Qin Niu ignored them, dressed himself, picked up his bucket, and led Xiao Nui home.

His name is Qin Niu!”

An enthusiastic villager answered for Qin Niu.

Got it!”

The reply came from the other side, and there was nothing more said.

Everyone secretly envied him, guessing that once the floodwaters receded, that girl would send someone to the village to inquire about Ah Niu’s information.

This was truly a match made in heaven!

But Qin Niu, the fool, hadn’t realized the benefits of getting a wife and actually ignored her.

After climbing up to the shore, Wang Haikun was furiously angry.

Having made such a fool of himself in front of everyone, and having lost all his face, how could he continue to strut around the village, bullying the common people?

“All Niu, stop right there for me!”

Qin Niu slowly turned around, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the furious Wang Haikun approaching.

“Kun-ye, there’s something 1 forgot to tell you. Last time you took my wolf skin, worth three taels of Silver Money, I delivered eight baskets of manure in exchange, worth four qian of Silver Money. Remember to give me the silver on time.”

Being low-key and patient was to be able to show off one’s strength when the time came.

I’ve been wanting to deal with Wang Haikun for a while now.

1 was planning to wait until I got my hands on the Insect Master identity before settling the score with him, but it seems I’ll have to do it a few days earlier now..
