Chapter 8 is short by ten thousand

Damn, I think it's going to be really difficult to get this money out. If not, just confront him, I don't care about that nonsense, or that dog.

"Each person should keep a copy of the IOU, I will go to withdraw the money." Zhao Laosi received the IOU and immediately threw down a sentence before leaving

"You must be Zhang Runfa's son, right?" Zhao Laosi, dressed in a yellow work uniform for feeding cattle and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, asked as he sat at the center of the round table

Le, or just let it go... If I can get an extra 8,000 yuan, then so be it...! Lin Jun thought for a moment and found himself reluctant to pursue the matter further. The reason was simple: Zhang Xiaole was the one who facilitated this, and if he kept pressing, it would likely put Zhang Xiaole in an awkward position. Although 8,000 yuan was somewhat excessive given Lin Jun's current situation, it was still within an acceptable range.

Still like that, quite good

Lin Jun heard this and fell silent.

All the money has been taken out, and the IOU has been completed. If you are not borrowing now, how can they not ask you for interest? Moreover, that so-called Brother Xia has already taken away that ten thousand yuan, how are we supposed to repay them one hundred fifty thousand yuan

"Thank you, Xiao Lele," Zhao Laosi replied expressionlessly

Why

"Taking away ten thousand? That's impossible. I clearly agreed with Brother Xia that he only wanted a two thousand benefit fee," Zhang Xiaole asked in confusion after being astonished.

After completing the document, Zhao Laosi and Lin Jun signed it first, and then Zhang Xiaole wrote his name in the guarantor's position.

Yes, Fourth Uncle, my family used to live near the brigade headquarters, but we have now moved to the city

A Jinbei van drove in from the entrance of the village, carrying three people inside. A bald young man sat in the back seat. He had his legs crossed, looking down at his phone, and there was a very noticeable scar on his head and forehead.

"Fourth Uncle, how much should we fill in?" Zhang Xiaole asked from the side

Indeed, one must be clear about matters; money is essential. Zhang Xiaole is straightforward and has a righteous character. At this moment, he is also afraid that Lin Jun might overthink the situation, and he feels that this matter is something he has not handled properly. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the details.

In the living room of Old Zhao's house at the east end of the village

This matter was handled quite efficiently, very well indeed said Zhang Xiaole with a sense of happiness

150,000

Ah, Fourth Uncle, rest assured, my family's house has not been sold, and our household registration is still here. I cannot take your money and run away, haha!

"That's quite a lot, it's 121,500. Isn't this matter orchestrated by Blind Li? He just took 10,000 at the door, claiming it was a facilitation fee!" Zhao Laosi said matter-of-factly.

... ...

After completing the simple process, Zhao Laosi glanced at the three IOUs and then said symbolically: "One percent interest, to be repaid in one year, the old rule, interest is calculated first, and then you will repay a total of 150,000 yuan!"

Ten minutes later, Lin Jun and others walked out of Old Zhao's house and got into the minibus.

The banknotes danced in the hands of Lin Jun and the other three. After about a minute, everyone counted the money, but Lin Jun felt that the amount was incorrect. He immediately asked Zhao Laosi, "Uncle Si, did you take the wrong amount? After deducting the interest of 18,500, you should give me 131,500. Why is it only 121,500? That's a shortfall of 10,000!"

"It's nothing, Jun, let's go take a look. We have matters to discuss, and there's no need to argue with him." Zhang Xiaole felt a sense of responsibility regarding this matter and felt quite guilty, so without waiting for Lin Jun to speak, he signaled Lin Wei to drive.

"Look at what you are saying. Without Blind Li acting as an intermediary, would I be able to lend you so much money? Logically, this money should be handed over to him first, right?" Zhao Laosi replied emphatically

"Weiwei is driving back to the supermarket," Zhang Xiaole called out.

Lin Jun did not argue upon hearing this. However, he certainly did not feel afraid of Blind Brother; he simply thought that getting involved with this person would be quite troublesome, and what Lin Jun feared most at the moment was trouble. He had gone alone to find Man Beifa because Man Beifa could understand human speech and grasp his intentions. In contrast, someone of Blind Brother's caliber, even if he could comprehend the meaning behind Lin Jun's words, would pretend not to understand.

Swish swish ... ... ! ''

Thank you, Uncle Si. Lin Jun politely said as he took the paper and pen.

The other end

"Go!" Lin Jun nodded decisively

Isn't this just nonsense? I borrowed 150,000, and in the end, I only got 120,000. Damn, I ended up losing 30,000 in the process? This is just like usury, man. No way, you shouldn't borrow anymore.

"I apologize for the trouble, Fourth Uncle," Zhang Xiaole said politely as he walked over.

Upon hearing these words, everyone was instantly rendered speechless

This matter was indeed orchestrated by that blind guy in the middle

"Then let's write a note." Zhao Laosi said, holding a pen and paper

"That is your concern; how would I know?" Zhao Laosi replied with a frown

Because Man Beifa has already had his fill, while Xia Ge is clearly still a hungry wolf

"Has your house in the countryside been sold?" Zhao Laosi asked cautiously

No more can be added? Zhang Xiaole knew that Lin Jun had a significant funding gap, so he made an effort to negotiate.

"Xiao Le, 150,000 is not a small amount for our family, so I thank you." Lin Jun smiled, his words sincere yet expressed in a very natural and concise manner.

"It's nothing, I will go and ask him," said Zhang Xiaole, his expression not looking very good, speaking in a rough and gruff manner

Why shouldn't he take it? If he wants to take the money, he should say something. Is it really that complicated to just give the money privately? Isn't it obvious that he's playing with Xiao Le?" Yu Liang added once more, his words expressing a sense of injustice for Xiao Le, as he feared that Lin Jun might think Xiao Le was also involved in this matter.

"Why are you so cowardly? At 1.8 meters tall, where is your courage?" Lin Wei asked disdainfully

Rest assured, Fourth Uncle, the neighbors around our home are all struggling to make a living from farming. I wouldn't deceive anyone, especially not you! I guarantee this money; if my friend cannot repay it, then I will take responsibility. Zhang Xiaole is a very righteous person, and he speaks with great sincerity. Therefore, his approach to life and interactions appears quite different from that of his peers, giving people a sense of stability.

If it doesn't work out, then forget it, really don't want it. Lin Jun continued to persuade, as he genuinely did not want to make Xiao Le uncomfortable. At the same time, he also felt that Lin Wei was right, because since Brother Xia had deducted that 10,000 yuan, it should mean that he did not want to give it.

During the conversation among the four, they drove back to the supermarket. However, upon getting out and entering, they discovered that Li Xiazi was not there; instead, his brother-in-law was sitting at the entrance with seven or eight young men from the community.

Thus, the four individuals were smoking while chatting inside the room. Zhao Laosi had been gone for nearly twenty minutes before returning with a plastic bag in hand

... ...

"Ah, good." Lin Jun nodded slightly, then opened the plastic bag and began to count the money

Old Zhao Si heard this and took a deep drag from his Zhongnanhai cigarette. After pondering for a moment, he continued, "In principle, you are just a child, and I really cannot deal with such a large sum of money with you. However, your father and I had a good relationship in the past, and your family's house and household registration are both here. Therefore, this time I will lend you the money. But you must ensure that you follow through; if you say you will repay it at a certain time, then you must repay it at that time."

There is no habit of covering one's face. Just tell him, it was I who did it at his doorstep!" The young man replied without even raising his head.

"It's nothing." Zhao Laosi waved his hand, then threw a bag of money onto the table and continued, "Calculating at an interest rate of 1%, that 150,000 amounts to an interest of 18,500 for a year. I will deduct the money directly, you can count it yourselves."

"Brother, should I cover my face a bit?" asked the young man in the passenger seat

... ...

Only four people, including Lin Jun, remain in the room

You should take care of yourself first. I'm getting tired of this boxed meal stall as well. Who knows, I might join you in doing this too, haha. Zhang Xiaole grinned and directly changed the subject.

Then I wrote it down. Lin Jun interjected, feeling that 150,000 was acceptable, and he would find a way to deal with the remaining money. He then took out paper and pen and wrote three IOUs.

How is your father's health? Zhao Laosi asked as if making small talk, while Lin Jun and the others found it difficult to interject.

"No, since this is our matter, why did you give the money to him directly? You should have given it to us first?" Yu Liang asked in a flat tone, his voice hoarse. He had a naturally raspy voice, making his speech quite distinctive.

"This is all I have," Zhao Laosi shook his head.

"Military, go ahead and write," Zhang Xiaolei called out.
