The reason the big shot had no money was that his children had swindled it all away from him.
At first, he made phone calls to borrow money from them, but as soon as the daughters heard it was Qin Dashan asking, they all claimed to be penniless. The big shot’s face turned black with rage, but since they wouldn't lend him a cent, his anger was useless.
He then went down the line, calling a group of his old associates to borrow money. These old friends were big shots themselves; they wouldn't dare snub him, and soon enough, he had rounded up three thousand yuan. The cow Qin Dashan had lost was an adult, weighing over a thousand pounds and worth more than a thousand yuan on the market. While the three thousand yuan wasn't enough for full compensation, it was enough to stop the villagers from pressing them any further. For the remaining two thousand, Qin Dashan wrote an IOU to the village.
