The village was not big, so it took less than five minutes before Jasper arrived at the village chief’s house.

In truth, the house just had a larger garden in front. Jasper had not even reached the door yet when he heard the sharp voice of a woman with a strong accent shouting.

“We’re more than neighbors, Charlie, we’re family. I’ve helped you when your family needed it. It’s just a small issue and you’re suddenly here to fight me over it? Aren’t you afraid of making a fool of yourself?”

“If I have to say anything, then it’s always the poor who have so many problems. What do you even need the land for? Can you even build a house? If you’re just going to waste it and leave it bare, then you might as well just give it to us.”

“Exactly. I just don’t understand why you think you’re in the right here. You don’t want to give us that plot of land? Fine, then pay back that 10,000 dollars we lent you!”

“Isn’t your son living in town? So you have money to buy your son a house but not to pay us back?”

A man’s roar suddenly rang out amidst the accusations that flew around the room.

“I admit that I borrowed money from you and I promise you I’ll pay it back, but that has nothing to do with the plot of land. The land was given to me by our ancestors. I cannot give it to you!”

“Ha!” The sharp voice of the woman from earlier sounded again. “Then pay us back! I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you, buying a house in town even when you’re broke. Don’t you feel shameful for pretending to be some big shot?”
