Fang Zheng smiled and said, "I'll ask you for some money, poor monk."
"You want money?" Ma Laizi was stunned, then suddenly realized, he smiled bitterly and said: "Abbot Fangzheng, I'm afraid it's hard to get this money. Unless you go to court, but if you go to court with relatives for 20,000 yuan, I'm afraid...
The village is talking about it.”
Fang Zheng gave Ma Laizi a reassuring look and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the poor monk will ask for it for you, and you will definitely get it back."
Ma Laizi is also a little curious. He has made several calls in the past two days, but the other party always gives various excuses. Nowadays, even if he makes ten calls, he may not answer even one... Now, he basically understands that his money
Most likely he would never come back. The reason why he came to Fang Zheng was because he wanted to express his annoyance. However, he never expected that Fang Zheng would go down the mountain in person and take him to ask for money.
Although he was grateful to Fang Zheng, Ma Laizi did not think highly of Fang Zheng when it came to asking for money. After all, this was no different than carving and chanting sutras. Even the court had no good way to deal with the old man, let alone a monk?
Even though he didn't believe it, Ma Laizi didn't dare to say it out loud and still followed Fang Zheng.
Ma Jiangping's home is quite far from Yizhi Temple, separated by three villages, so he has to take a shuttle bus every time he goes there. This bus is actually contracted by the village next door, and it goes around each village every day. It is considered a convenient public transportation. Because
Because you don't have to go into the city, you can save a lot of money. Although the car is a bit old, everyone still likes this convenience very much.
Fangzheng got in the car and soon arrived at Jianghai Village, the village where Ma Jiangping was located.
Compared with Yizhi Village, Jianghai Village is far away from the Tongtian Mountains and is surrounded by vast plains. Corn is grown all over the village. It is known as the largest grain-producing village among the eight villages in ten miles! The price of corn has skyrocketed in the past two years, and so have the villagers in the village.
Everyone has a little savings and is living a prosperous life. I am really envious of many people...
As soon as Fang Zheng entered the village, he looked at the large tile-roofed houses. The large windows were extremely bright, and there was a glass corridor on the outside. The corridor could block the northeast wind and let the sunlight in, creating the effect of a greenhouse. In this way
Come, the temperature in the room can be raised a lot. This is Jianghai Village. Other villages are not so bold. They generally do not use glass, but use cloth from plastic greenhouses instead of glass. In this way, the light and beauty are better
Slightly worse, but the thermal insulation effect is not bad.
Moreover, almost every household in Jianghai Village has tractors, motorcycles and other machinery, which shows the affluence of Jianghai Village.
Thinking again about Yizhi Village a year ago, Fang Zheng shook his head slightly and said to himself: It's no wonder Ma Jiangping and the others don't interact with Ma Laizi. The gap between the rich and the poor is so wide that they are afraid that Ma Lame will come and take advantage. Unfortunately, they don't understand Ma Laizi after all.
, how could that stubborn old man take advantage of others? He would have taken advantage of him long ago, and he would not have waited until now.
Although it is winter, as a Northeastern person, I still like to go out for a walk. When I see Fang Zheng, I say hello to Fang Zheng one after another.
Fang Zheng returned the greetings one by one, and then under the guidance of everyone, he found Ma Jiangping's home.
Ma Jiangping's home is three large tile-roofed houses, and there is a small van parked at home. Obviously, Ma Jiangping's family situation is not as miserable as she said to Ma Laizi. Seeing this scene, Ma Laizi's face turned red and she didn't know.
Is he ashamed and angry that he is stupid, or is he angry that the other party lied to him? When the lame horse gets angry, he will rush in...
Fang Zheng grabbed Ma Laizi and said with a smile: "You're already here, don't you want this expression? It hurts your feelings. Just smile..."
"Laughing?" Ma Laizi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Abbot Fangzheng, do you think I can still laugh now?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Then do you want your money back?"
"I think, as long as I can get them back, I will immediately sever ties with them! Damn, it's okay not to have such relatives!" Ma Laizi's voice became louder and louder, and Fang Zheng quickly motioned for him to lower his voice.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to give it back, you still need the money. You should call Ma Jiangping first to see if they have changed their mind."
Ma Laizi glanced at Fang Zheng suspiciously, hummed twice, took out his mobile phone, walked to the corner, and made a call. After a while, Ma Laizi came back angrily, his eyes widened, and pointed at
Ma Jiangping, who was sitting on the kang in the room with her back to the window, secretly said angrily: "She actually told me she wasn't at home! Who is in that room? Damn, it's so annoying. I can't do it anymore. I have to go in and talk to her.
They talked and talked!"
After saying that, Ma Laizi was about to rush in, but Fang Zheng quickly grabbed him.
"Abbot Fangzheng, what are you doing?" Ma Laizi was anxious.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Do you still want money?"
Ma Laizi nodded subconsciously and said, "I think so."
Fang Zheng nodded and said, "If you want to come back, then give the poor monk a smile."
Ma Laizi really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Zheng's gourd, so he had no choice but to force out a smile. But this smile was uglier than crying...
"Your smile is too ugly. Smile wider and look better..." As Fang Zheng spoke, he played with Ma Laizi's expression with his hands. After a while, Fang Zheng teased Ma Laizi into a rather miserable smile. Fang Zheng saw
Anyway, he couldn't think of anything better, so he said helplessly: "Why do you want money like this?"
Ma Laizi said bitterly: "Abbot Fangzheng, they owe me money, and I'm here to collect the debt. Have you ever seen Huang Shiren give Yang Bailao a smile? Ah, bah, I'm not Huang Shiren..."
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "Times have changed. Yang Bailao is now more powerful than Huang Shiren. Didn't you hear people say that I am the one who owes money?"
"This..." Ma Laizi stared at Fang Zheng and thought to himself: This monk is not trying to amuse me, is he? A stubborn energy came up in his heart again, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said: "Forget it, no more!
"After saying that, the guy turned around and left.
Fang Zheng hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You're a benefactor. The poor monk kindly brought you here to collect the debt. Why did you just leave when you said you were leaving?"
"I can't stand being so aggrieved and asking for money," Ma Laizi said angrily.
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "Who asked you to beg for help? The poor monk wants you to smile and make the poor monk happy. When you get to the house, just shut up and leave the rest to the poor monk."
Ma Laizi was stunned for a moment, making Fang Zheng happy? This... subconsciously looked at his old face reflected in the window, and thought to himself: Fang Zheng should look down on himself...
When Fang Zheng saw that the lame horse was thinking wrongly, he quickly said: "If the poor monk goes in, he will be blown away, stared at, and even scolded. Now you can smile and comfort yourself, can't you do it?"
Ma Laizi thought about it and felt that what Fang Zheng said was correct. So he took a deep breath, grinned hard, showed his big yellow teeth, and asked, "Is this okay?"
