Chapter 71: "Caring" Creditor, Debt That Cannot Be Repudiated

Being named by Wang Weiguo and Jia Dongxu asking for help in public, Yi Zhonghai naturally could not remain silent.

Just to avoid showing off his wealth and maintain his established image, Yi Zhonghai couldn't just take out a hundred yuan to pay off Jia Dongxu's debt, so he compromised and finally paid fifty yuan with tears in his eyes.

In order to appease Jia Dongxu and eliminate his possible dissatisfaction, the fifty yuan was not a loan but was paid directly on Jia Dongxu's behalf.

The two are just different ways of saying things, but there is no difference in essence.

Compared to lending Jia Dongxu one hundred yuan, this result was obviously more acceptable to Yi Zhonghai, as he also saved himself a loss of fifty yuan.

Not only that, he also took the opportunity to consolidate his image as a good master.

When everyone in the courtyard saw Yi Zhonghai wave his hand and directly pay fifty yuan for his disciple Jia Dongxu, they all started to compliment him.

"A great man of kindness and righteousness!"

"Dongxu really met a good master."

"Uncle, are you still accepting disciples? What do you think of my son Erniu?"

"Uncle, you are this!"

"Jia Dongxu, why don't you thank your master quickly? It takes many lifetimes to cultivate this blessing to meet such a good master."

"He has to be a great man..."

"..."

Whether out of flattery towards Yi Zhonghai or envy towards Jia Dongxu, everyone praised Yi Zhonghai's actions without hesitation.

Jia Dongxu, who was feeling dissatisfied and resentful just now, was speechless after Yi Zhonghai made his statement.

I was even a little touched and thought that I had misunderstood my master.

Maybe after paying the money for Sha Zhu, his master really may not have much money left.

Although these fifty cannot compare to the two thousand, what Shazhu borrowed must be repaid eventually, but it is completely different for me.

After all, they are still master and disciple.

At this time, Jia Dongxu had never thought that no matter whether Yi Zhonghai lent him one hundred to pay off his debt or paid off half of it for him, in the end the money would be wasted and could not be returned.

the reason is simple.

Even though Jia Dongxu had borrowed so much money from his master Yi Zhonghai before and almost never paid it back, in his heart, he was still a respectable and honest person and had no intention of cheating Yi Zhonghai out of his money.

He just doesn't have the money to pay back temporarily, it's not that he won't pay it back.

When I become rich one day, I will certainly not treat my master Yi Zhonghai badly.

Just like lies, polite words will be taken seriously if you say them too much.

"Master, thank you so much."

Jia Dongxu was somewhat moved, and patted his chest in public and promised, "Don't worry, when I pass the second-level fitter exam and get a raise, I will slowly return the fifty yuan to you."

Jia Dongxu got fifty yuan from Yi Zhonghai for free. Although he was extremely happy, he knew he couldn't show it.

Not only that, in order to regain the face he had just lost, he deliberately said those words to show his backbone in front of everyone, and his respect for his master Yi Zhonghai.

Faced with Jia Dongxu's forced face-saving operation, Wang Weiguo almost couldn't help laughing.

This hypocrisy is almost exactly the same as the cunning Yi Zhonghai.

They are truly worthy of being master and disciple!

What followed was naturally a drama of deep affection between master and disciple. Having paid the money, Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to gain fame and Jia Dongxu's gratitude, while Jia Dongxu also cooperated quite well and tried to establish himself as a filial disciple.

Wang Weiguo, who was watching the show silently, did not destroy this "harmonious" scene. He almost laughed out loud when he saw the melon-eating value increased by the system.

The fifty yuan soon fell into Wang Weiguo's hands.

When handing the fifty yuan to Wang Weiguo, Yi Zhonghai, who had just gained a lot of fame, acted like a "good guy" and said to Wang Weiguo: "Weiguo, keep the fifty yuan first.

You have also seen the situation. Dongxu is not unwilling to pay back the money, he is just in difficulty.

For the remaining fifty, can you please give me some face and take your time?"

The matter was almost over, but Wang Weiguo shook his head and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, it's not that I don't give you face, but I really need money now."

Obviously, this is a rejection.

Seeing that Wang Weiguo didn't give Yi Zhonghai any face, everyone was not surprised. Instead, they were somewhat used to it.

It's not the first time anyway.

The "audience" present were all ready to watch the show.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Wang Weiguo with a gloomy face, suppressed his anger and said: "Wang Weiguo, don't push your luck."

"Uncle, how could I be so pushy?"

Wang Weiguo chuckled and asked, "I want my own money back, what's wrong with that?

Is this too much of an offense?
It’s been two years since the money was lent out, and people are still not allowed to ask for it back. Who made this rule?
Uncle, can you tell me about it?

Since you just paid back fifty for Jia Dongxu, why don't you be a good person and help him pay the remaining fifty!" After he finished speaking, he found that Jia Dongxu was looking at him again. Yi Zhonghai had a headache and said quickly: "Weiguo, I can't take it out now. Your aunt hasn't bought her medicine for this month yet!"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Dongxu knew that he had to find a way to get the remaining fifty yuan. Before Wang Weiguo could make a move, he immediately said in embarrassment: "Wang Weiguo, I really have no money now."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, but your mother does!"

"Don't you pay your mother three dollars a month for her retirement?"

"You should have saved a lot over the years, right?"

"Ask your mother to help you pay it back!"

"Jia Dongxu, you are your mother's biological son. If you ask, will your mother not help you?"

"..."

In order to get Jia Dongxu to pay back the money, Wang Weiguo, as the creditor, was quite "considerate" and tried every possible way to help him.

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

They didn't know that Jia Dongxu gave Jia Zhangshi three yuan in pension every month.

If this is true, then when it comes to being a son, Jia Dongxu is beyond reproach.

however.

Seeing Wang Weiguo set his sights on her, Jia Zhang's face changed and she denied it directly: "I don't have money! Don't talk nonsense, my Dongxu doesn't give me money for retirement, and the money I spend on medicine every month has already been spent."

How could Jia Zhang possibly take out money from her own little treasury, which would also be her future funeral funds?

No matter whether it is a debt or not, it has to be repaid.

For Jia Zhang, it doesn't matter at all.

Delay it as much as possible, it’s better to keep owing it.

Not to mention that she believed that this debt had nothing to do with their Jia family, but was the fault of Qin Huairu and the Qin family, and it was impossible for them to pay the money.

"Wang Weiguo, you've seen it too. It's not that I don't want to pay it back, it's that my family really doesn't have the conditions to do so."

Jia Dongxu looked unhappy for a while when his mother denied the pension money, but he soon figured it out and did not choose to expose it.

He knew that Jia Zhang had money but she just wouldn't give it to him. However, he was now reluctant to pay back the fifty yuan he owed Wang Weiguo.

At least the money is with Jia Zhang, and it still belongs to their Jia family.

His master had just paid back fifty dollars for him, and he just wanted Wang Weiguo to "grace him a little." He didn't say he wouldn't pay it back in the future, so he believed that no one could say anything.

"Do you really not have the conditions, or do you not want to pay it back?"

"Why would I lie to you about this? If I had the conditions, would I owe you money and not pay it back? I, Jia Dongxu, am not that kind of person!"

"you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Tsk, you said that yourself!"

"..."

At this point, when Jia Dongxu thought Wang Weiguo had no more tricks and was secretly proud of himself, Wang Weiguo said to everyone, "You all heard just now that Jia Dongxu said he is in financial difficulty and cannot pay back the money. I personally am willing to believe Jia Dongxu and believe that he really wants to pay back the remaining fifty yuan.

In this case, I won’t make things difficult for Jia Dongxu. I’ve come up with a solution for him. I don’t want the fifty dollars anymore…”

"what?"

"Wang Weiguo, are you serious?"

"This……"

"You really don't want the remaining fifty?"

"Wang Weiguo, have you really thought it through?"

"..."

When Wang Weiguo said he didn't want the fifty yuan, not only Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang's mother and son, but also the neighbors in the yard felt very incredible.

This is fifty dollars!

It’s not fifty cents, let alone five cents. Can you just say you don’t want it?

"Of course!"

Looking around at everyone, Wang Weiguo nodded heavily and said, "Jia Dongxu can't pay back the money, and I can't force him, so I thought of a compromise.

If I remember correctly, Jia Dongxu also has a sewing machine at home..."

"not good!"

Seeing that Wang Weiguo hadn't finished speaking yet, he ran straight to the middle courtyard. Realizing what he wanted to do, Jia Zhang's face changed drastically, and she quickly said to Jia Dongxu, who hadn't reacted yet: "Dongxu, chase him! Stop Wang Weiguo quickly, he wants our sewing machine!"
