If he had still had Baifulai's job before, he could have easily paid back the thirty taels himself. But now that Baifulai's job is gone, it's not an easy task to raise thirty taels of silver in a short time.
The village chief was willing to lend a helping hand when they were in trouble, so he must have been prepared that the money would not be returned. That's why he couldn't let them feel disappointed.
