At this time, he was already kneeling on the ground: "Brother, actually I just wanted to have fun, so I deliberately hid your shoes and pants to embarrass you. I was wrong, please be magnanimous and spare my life!"

"Second Grandfather, please forgive me this time. I will never do it again."

"Brother Lin, just let me call you brother."

In order to avoid being punished by the security department, Xu Damao begged hard.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was furious. He was hit on the head last time and was attacked with a club today, and even his pants were almost stripped off.

If Xu Damao really got what he wanted, Sha Zhu would really make a fool of himself in public.

"boom!"

Sha Zhu's stinky big feet kicked directly on Xu Damao's face.

Xu Damao felt a little pain, which was fortunate - because Sha Zhu had some strength left.

If Sha Zhu had kicked him in the face with all his strength, Xu Damao would probably have lost most of his life.

"Silly Zhu, don't be impulsive." Liu Haizhong quickly pulled the latter back.

When being pulled by Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu's mind calmed down a little.

"I think we should not notify the security department yet. Let's hold a meeting tonight and make sure Xu Damao is punished." After saying this, Liu Haizhong told Sha Zhu.

After seeing Lou Xiao'e off, Lin Xiangdong returned to the yard and caught a glimpse of Xu Damao quietly sweeping the floor.

Even though it was late at night, the deaf grandmother still asked Xu Damao to clean the entire yard, and this matter was supported by the three senior managers.

There was no other way, Xu Damao could only pick up the broom and start working.

After all, in terms of power comparison, it is difficult for one person to resist a group of people; here, the deaf grandmother and the three uncles still have the final say.

If Xu Damao was still working as a projectionist in the factory, his status in the institute would not be so low.

But now, he is just a cleaning employee in the factory.

In this typical three-courtyard quadrangle, each person's status depends on his age, job position and social background.

For example, although Jia Zhang did nothing all day long, Yi Zhonghai had to respectfully call her "old sister-in-law" because she was older and her status was second only to the deaf grandmother. In addition, Jia Zhang had a rural household registration and was a poor peasant.

Therefore, even so, she still has a certain influence in the hospital.

At this time and age, people respected the elderly and children, so seniority was very important, especially in places like Beijing.

Behavior that is disrespectful to elders will be criticized even if it is justified.

Seeing Xu Damao cleaning the yard, Lin Xiangdong did not feel the slightest sympathy, because Xu Damao had brought all this upon himself.

In the real world, when Lin Xiangdong watched the original plot, he did not dislike Xu Damao so much; even though he was a villain, he always showed his true self and all his evil deeds were done in the open.

However, once you are in this world, instead of living in the same courtyard and creating a rift between each other, the feeling is completely different.

There is a huge difference between being on the edge of an event and being in the thick of it.

Xu Damao, who was cleaning the floor, also looked at Lin Xiangdong, and his already bad mood became even heavier.

At this moment, he was only thinking about how to take revenge on Sha Zhu and ** Lin Xiangdong.

Without paying any attention to Xu Damao, Lin Xiangdong went straight back to his residence.

Not long after, Liu Guangtian, who lived in the small courtyard at the back, suddenly came to visit.

"Brother Lin." He had a gentle smile on his face.

"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Xiangdong asked calmly.

Obviously, a visit so late at night would not be a good thing.

"Brother Lin, can you give me a few dimes for emergency?" Liu Guangtian asked for a loan as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Borrow money?" Lin Xiangdong's expression changed slightly.

A few dimes is not a problem for Lin Xiangdong, and it is not impossible to provide emergency assistance to Liu Guangtian.

However, if Liu Guangtian fails to repay the money within 30 days after borrowing it, the system will punish Lin Xiangdong.

Under such circumstances, there would be frequent property theft incidents in the courtyard, which were barely tolerable at first, but became annoying as they happened too often.

Lin Xiangdong suddenly had an idea: "If Liu Guangtian writes down the loan receipt, and I destroy it, will I get the reward points provided by the system?"

Even if Liu Guangtian repaid the loan on time, Lin Xiangdong could still claim that the receipt was lost.

The most important thing is that the system will not impose penalties on debtors, but those who are punished know their mistakes in their hearts.

"Brother Lin, this is really an emergency, please lend me three or four cents!"

Liu Guangtian felt that Lin Xiangdong was a relatively open-minded person who was not reluctant to help others solve their financial difficulties, so he came to Lin Xiangdong specifically to ask for help in borrowing money, but he did not ask for too much, just a few dimes.

Seeing that Lin Xiangdong was thinking, Liu Guangtian also seemed a little worried.

"I can lend you fifty cents, but you need to write a receipt." Lin Xiangdong put forward the conditions.

IOU?

Liu Guangtian was stunned. Didn't Lin Xiangdong say that he didn't ask others to provide evidence? Why did he ask for it now?

If you really write down the credentials, it will be difficult to deny them.

However, when Lin Xiangdong recently collected the debt, he did not overemphasize the additional interest.

If he borrows some money for emergency now, even if he returns the money to Lin Xiangdong next year, without calculating the additional interest, the actual loss will not be that big.

Therefore, Liu Guangtian seemed hesitant about this request: "Do I need to write down the receipt for the debt?"

"Of course we have to do this." Lin Xiangdong's position was very firm and he did not make any concessions.

Faced with this problem, Liu Guangtian had only two options. The first was to write the loan agreement obediently, and the second was to seek financial help from other people instead of Lin Xiangdong.

Liu Guangtian finally had no choice but to accept the request to write an IOU. After agreeing, Lin Xiangdong brought paper and pen.

As soon as he got the pen, Liu Guangtian wrote out the credentials neatly.

It said "50 cents loan" on it.

After looking at the voucher and finding nothing unusual, Lin Xiangdong handed the five cents to Liu Guangtian. Liu Guangtian took the money and immediately returned to the backyard.

This scene was seen by several people, including Xu Damao who was cleaning the yard, the three aunts nearby, and Yan Jiecheng and his mother.

......

Yan family.

"Dad, I just saw Liu Guangtian go to Lin Xiangdong to borrow some money, but Lin Xiangdong asked him to set up a loan receipt." Yan Jiecheng said to his father.

After hearing what his son said, Yan Bugui felt a little nervous.

Suppose he asks Lin Xiangdong to borrow some money or food in the future, will he also be forced to sign the certificate?

The third aunt twisted her mouth and said: "I didn't expect that Lin Xiangdong had just recovered for a few days and now he is asking for a loan agreement again. This person is really hard to understand."

"Although Lin Xiangdong has changed, his character cannot be changed in an instant." Yan Bugui put on his reading glasses and said slowly.

Lin Xiangdong was sitting at home, having just closed the door, holding in his hand the IOU that Liu Guangtian had written not long ago.

After tearing up the IOU, a system prompt appeared in his mind.

Got five skill fragments.

Ten skill fragments can be combined into one skill point, and Lin Xiangdong already has several skill fragments. These five additional fragments are enough to combine into a new skill point.

"System, integrated into one skill point."

[Fusion completed, one skill point added. ]

At the same time, the debt information in the system also disappeared.

Even if Liu Guangtian did not repay his debt, the system would not impose any more penalties.

Just as Lin Xiangdong expected,

As long as you lend money to others and leave a written receipt, you can continue to accumulate skill points.

However, if Lin Xiangdong is unable to produce the IOU written by someone else, why should the other party repay it?

If you choose to forgo loan repayments, some people may think that those who do so are deep-pocketed and simple-minded.

Of course, in this era where dedication is encouraged, it is easy to gain a good reputation.

After thinking for a long time, just as Lin Xiangdong was about to boil water to soak his feet and prepare to take a rest, he found that Yi Zhonghai suddenly visited.

"Uncle, why are you here at this time?" Lin Xiangdong was a little surprised.

Lin Xiangdong had already expressed his gratitude to Yi Zhonghai, and what he had requested had been completed; now Yi Zhonghai's late-night visit was really puzzling.

"Could it be that Liu Guangtian is borrowing money from me again?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"He said he needed some money urgently, so I lent him fifty yuan." Lin Xiangdong replied with a smile.

"Did he write the IOU?"

"Yes, I wrote it!"

"Don't be offended by what I say, but... after all, we are neighbors living in this big yard and we bump into each other every day..." Yi Zhonghai made a long speech, meaning to tell Lin Xiangdong that there is nothing wrong with lending money to help others, but there is no need to ask for a promissory note.

Among the more than ten families in the compound, most had received help from Yi Zhonghai. Even if someone borrowed money or food from Yi Zhonghai, he did not force them to write an IOU.

Yi Zhonghai believes that once the issue of IOUs is involved, it is easy to damage feelings and even have an adverse impact on whether the slum can be commended.

"Everyone gets into trouble sometimes. If you help them, you will be able to get a helping hand from others when you encounter difficulties in the future," Yi Zhonghai explained.

After listening carefully to Yi Zhonghai's conversation, Lin Xiangdong's face showed an expression as if he had understood something.

"It all depends on how high your awareness is. I will need to learn a lot from you in the future," Lin Xiangdong said.

Seeing that Lin Xiangdong seemed to have understood the meaning of his remarks, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction, obviously expressing his appreciation.

It seems that he will have to do more to guide Lin Xiangdong onto a better life trajectory in the future.

After that, they chatted about some other topics and then Yi Zhonghai left.

"Does Uncle Yi want to turn me into another dull character?" Lin Xiangdong sneered in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai has a good social reputation and is good at criticizing people's moral character, which gives Lin Xiangdong a headache.

However, although the fact that he secretly delivered food to Qin Huairu at night seemed like a stain, it actually did not constitute any negative evaluation.

In the social environment at that time, it was very common to privately give supplies to neighbors late at night.

After thinking deeply, I felt that even if Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had an unclear relationship, they would not be bold enough to do so openly in the yard.
