This wave of moral kidnapping has put Yi Zhonghai in a high position, making it impossible for him to advance or retreat.

Aunt Chen was still touching her bicycle. When she heard Xu Mingjie's words, she couldn't help but say:

"Old Yi, Xu Mingjie's bicycle seems to be quite expensive. Maybe he really has no money on him."

Xu Mingjie nodded hurriedly and answered in agreement:

"Yes, Uncle, your income this year is so high, don't you want to lend me the money? You even used the matter of Auntie getting medicine to put me off, which really makes me sad."

Jia Zhang heard Xu Mingjie's voice and came out. She looked at Xu Mingjie unhappily:

"He only knows how to spend money on these useless things all day long. He spent so much money, but he deserves to have no money for food!"

Jia Zhang really thought that Xu Mingjie was wasting money by buying a bicycle. If he used the more than 100 yuan to buy meat for their family, they would not know how much they would eat.

You actually use this money to buy a bicycle and a watch. You really don't know how to live.

When the neighbors heard that Yi Zhonghai had so much income a year, they couldn't help but flash a look of envy in their eyes.

Although they had long known that Yi Zhonghai's salary was the highest in the hospital, they were still shocked to hear it again. After all, Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary might be equivalent to their family's salary for two or three months.

Besides, there are only two people in Yi Zhonghai's family and they don't have any children. How can they spend as much as their neighbors?

They usually have to use their salary to support a large family, which includes at least seven or eight people, including the elderly and children.

Now Yi Zhonghai tells Xu Mingjie that he has no money left because he spent money to buy medicine for an old lady. Who can believe this?

Looking at the looks around him, Yi Zhonghai also felt very uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Borrow it, borrow it. When did you say that you won't lend it to me? It's just that my family is using it to buy medicine for your aunt. There's just too much money and we don't have much left at the moment."

"How about this? Tell me the amount. If I have it, I'll lend it to you. If I don't have it, I'll find a way to get it together for you, okay?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Xu Mingjie smiled immediately and said cheerfully:

"Okay, uncle, I really don't have a penny in my pocket. How about you lend me a hundred first, so that I can get by for a while."

"What?!!"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked by the number Xu Mingjie said. What kind of person is this? He asked to borrow a hundred right away!

I originally thought that someone of Xu Mingjie's age, even if he was being shameless and borrowing money, would only borrow forty or fifty yuan at most, which was the maximum he could get.

As a result, Xu Mingjie borrowed 100 yuan at a time. Did he really think that Yi Zhonghai was a cash cow?!

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's unhappy face, Xu Mingjie added:

"Uncle, your salary is higher than the total salary of our entire hospital. Are you reluctant to give up a hundred dollars?"

Xu Mingjie had already said this, and it would be difficult for Yi Zhonghai to refuse even if he wanted to.

After all, the reason why he has such a high reputation in this compound is because he is kind-hearted and is willing to help his neighbors as long as they are in trouble.

That's why the neighbors in this yard respect him so much. Of course, Yi Zhonghai also enjoys this feeling.

However, since you have enjoyed this benefit, you must accept the backlash that comes with it. Since you want to maintain your reputation, you must pay the price.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to force a smile, which looked extremely bitter:

"Okay, okay, your uncle will go get you the money!"

Seeing the hundred in Yi Zhonghai's hand, Xu Mingjie realized that his goal had been achieved. He smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Our uncle is so kindhearted that he lent us the money so generously!"

"I apologize for my behavior of taking away the father of a gentleman with a mean heart. You are the most respected person in our courtyard!"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This was not what he said when Xu Mingjie refused to lend him money just now. Now that he saw the money, his expression changed faster than anyone else!

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't lent you the money, you would probably have heard a lot of gossip in this yard today, right?

Xu Mingjie was about to reach out to take the hundred yuan, but Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of something and interrupted him:

"I can lend you this hundred dollars, but let's be safe and write an IOU first."

Yi Zhonghai was really scared. The eight dollars that Xu Mingjie had cheated him out of the day before yesterday had already made him realize how shameless Xu Mingjie could be.

If he didn't write an IOU, he really wouldn't be able to let it go. After all, the money was in Xu Mingjie's hands, and it was up to Xu Mingjie himself whether he wanted to pay it back or not!

One hundred yuan is a huge sum of money in this era. Even if Yi Zhonghai had money, he would not be willing to spend it like this.

Xu Mingjie frowned slightly when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words:

"Uncle, do you not trust my character? All the neighbors in the courtyard are watching us. Do you think I will not return it to you?"

Yi Zhonghai remained silent. He had made up his mind today that he would not hand over the money without writing an IOU.

Xu Mingjie looked at Yi Zhonghai and shrugged:

"Okay, okay, if you want to write an IOU, just write one. I'll write one for you now."

In a matter of seconds, Xu Mingjie took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote the IOU and gave it to Yi Zhonghai:

"Now you can lend me the money with confidence, right?"

Yi Zhonghai took Xu Mingjie's IOU, looked at it carefully, and after making sure there was no problem, he reluctantly handed the money to Xu Mingjie.

Xu Mingjie took the money with a smile and thanked Yi Zhonghai.

Anyway, the IOU he just wrote did not specify the repayment date. Since the money was in his hands, it was up to him to decide when to repay it, and Yi Zhonghai had no right to interfere.

Jia Zhang, who was standing next to him, saw that Xu Mingjie had succeeded in borrowing money and also wanted to get a piece of the pie. She said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Old Yi, you are so kindhearted. Our family has been having a hard time recently. This kid has been clamoring for some eggs. How about you lend me some money so I can buy some eggs for the kid?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Zhang unhappily and said impatiently:

"I have two eggs at home. I'll bring them to you later."

Jia Zhang was a little disappointed that she didn't get the money, but it was also a good thing that she could get two eggs.

The neighbors nearby were also eager to make a move. They all thought of excuses and wanted to borrow some money from Yi Zhonghai.

Anyway, this old man is so rich that even if each of them lends him a little, he won’t go bankrupt.

Just as they were about to step forward, an old lady found a way for Yi Zhonghai to step down:

"Old Yi, come back and eat! The food is getting cold!"
