Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

He pushed his bicycle outside with satisfaction and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"This watch is more expensive than a bicycle, but it makes me look elegant when I wear it, so it's worth it!"

What Xu Mingjie said was true, he only spent more than 160 yuan to buy this bicycle, and the watch cost more than 30 yuan more than the bicycle.

Although he spent hundreds of dollars at one time, Xu Mingjie was still very satisfied. After all, it was still cost-effective to buy the bicycle now. If he waited a few more months, it would cost more than that.

However, the watch on the wrist is still somewhat eye-catching. After all, in this day and age, everyone is short of both money and tickets, and most people are reluctant to spend money on watches.

Not only are watches expensive, but they also only have one function: to tell time. Ordinary people would definitely choose to use the money they would have spent on a watch to have a couple of nice meals.

But Xu Mingjie didn't care about this. The money in his system space was enough for him to spend.

Riding his newly bought bicycle, Xu Mingjie returned to the yard humming a little tune. Just as he entered the yard, he saw the third uncle surrounding him.

"Hey! Xu Mingjie, your bicycle doesn't look second-hand, it looks like a brand new one. It must be expensive, right?"

Yan Pigui's face was full of surprise, but it was not his fault. After all, he was the only one in the entire courtyard who had a bicycle, and he bought it second-hand, so the price was not comparable to a brand new one.

Now seeing that Xu Mingjie actually bought a brand new bicycle, the third uncle Yan Pigui was of course surprised.

I only heard Xu Mingjie smile and answer:

"It's just a bicycle. Don't you have one too? It's not a very expensive item."

Yan Pigui's eyes widened. He was a little bit unbelievable about Xu Mingjie's answer:

"This brand new bicycle costs more than 160 yuan! How can an ordinary family afford it?"

"You bought it as soon as you said you would. It looks like you have quite a bit of savings."

When he said this, Yan Pigui noticed the watch on Xu Mingjie's wrist and said in surprise:

"You bought a new watch?"

Xu Mingjie followed Yan Pigui's gaze and looked at his watch, then smiled.

"I bought this watch because I thought it looked good, and it wasn't very expensive."

Yan Pigui didn't believe that Xu Mingjie could save so much money by himself. He spoke thoughtfully:

"Your second uncle gave you a lot of money, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it cost you a lot to buy these two things at once?"

When he said this, a calculating look flashed across Yan Pigui's face, and he said with a smile:

"Look, you bought two big things at once. This has never happened before in our yard. Shouldn't we treat you to a meal to celebrate?"

How could Xu Mingjie not understand Yan Pigui's meaning? He refused:

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to celebrate, it's just that I don't have any money left after buying these two things."

"My second uncle didn't give me any money, he bought all of them with my savings."

As Xu Mingjie spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at the third uncle:

"Uncle San, you are the head of our courtyard and a teacher. Since I have no money, why don't you treat me to dinner?"

Yan Pigui was stunned at first. Didn't he want Xu Mingjie to treat him to a meal? How come he was the one who had to treat him?

No, he can't let Xu Mingjie take advantage of him!

Thinking of this, Yan Pigui quickly waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Your uncle doesn't have much money in his pocket. Let's have a good drink together next time."

Xu Mingjie couldn't help but laugh in his heart:

He is really a stingy miser. He is unwilling to spend a penny more and won't let him take advantage of anything.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

After saying goodbye to the third uncle, Xu Mingjie pushed his bicycle towards the inner courtyard and was stopped again when he passed the middle courtyard.

Aunt Chen was sitting in the yard chatting at this time. She was a little surprised when she saw the bicycle in Xu Mingjie's hand:

"Xu Mingjie, why did you buy a bicycle without saying anything?"

"Oh my god! This bicycle looks really expensive, can I touch it?"

Xu Mingjie smiled at her and generously gave up his bicycle:

"Okay, okay, come over and touch it if you want."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also noticed Xu Mingjie. He walked over with some confusion:

"Xu Mingjie, how did you buy this bicycle? Do you have a ticket?"

Xu Mingjie did not choose to answer Yi Zhonghai's question, but with a smile on his face, he said to him attentively:

"Hey, uncle, I was just looking for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Yi Zhonghai looked at his smiling face and thought to himself that something was not good. This brat had no good intentions.

"What do you want from me?"

Xu Mingjie smiled and scratched his head, then continued to speak out his thoughts:

"Look, I just bought a bicycle. My savings have been emptied. I really don't have a penny left."

"You are a big boss in our yard, an eighth-level fitter in the steel factory. Your monthly salary is higher than the combined salary of several of our families. I just want to borrow some money from you."

"Otherwise I don't know how I'm going to get through the day."

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Xu Mingjie said, his brows furrowed even more.

He didn't want to lend any money to Xu Mingjie. Not to mention that this guy was a bad guy, he just cheated him out of eight dollars the day before yesterday, and he hasn't found a chance to get it back yet.

Now this brat actually wants to borrow money from me. Once I lend the money out, is it possible for me to get it back?

If he were to lend the money to other young men in the compound, Yi Zhonghai might consider it. Except for the Jia family, the other neighbors would still pay him back.

Although Xu Mingjie's character is not as arrogant as Jia Zhangshi, he is not a good person either.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly smiled bitterly at Xu Mingjie:

"It's not that I don't want to lend you the money, it's just that your aunt hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and I've used all my money to buy medicine for her treatment, so I don't have much left, so I can't lend you the money."

Of course Xu Mingjie couldn't let Yi Zhonghai fool him so easily, so he raised his voice:

"How is that possible, uncle? Your salary is at least a hundred yuan, and you earn thousands of yuan a year. Is it possible that you can't lend me a little money?"

When he said this, Xu Mingjie added fuel to the fire:

"Everyone in the compound knows that Uncle Yi is the kindest person. As long as the neighbors have any difficulties, you are willing to help them."

"I just happened to be in trouble. How can you bear to see me without money to eat?"
