With that said, Fangzheng stood up and said to Liu Xinyu, “Patron, what would happen if one didn’t use violence to rush for payment?”

Liu Xinyu’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She said, “My dad will definitely come back… Many people will come back! We will pay back the money we owe. Definitely!”

Fangzheng smiled. “Patron, remember. This is your guarantee to This Penniless Monk.”

“Master, can you help me…” Liu Xinyu probed.

Fangzheng chuckled. “This Penniless Monk can’t help you, but someone can help you. Let’s go. Follow This Penniless Monk.”

“Where?” Liu Xinyu asked curiously.

“To the police station,” said Fangzheng.

Liu Xinyu asked worriedly, “Will that be… useful? It’s only right to return the money one owes…”

Fangzheng said, “Of course it’s only right. However, not everyone.”

Fangzheng led Liu Xinyu straight to the biggest police station in the city. What surprised Fangzheng was that they happened to bump into an inspection by the brass. Without waiting a moment, Fangzheng shouted, “I want to make a report! Someone is offering high-interest loans. Is someone going to deal with it?”

However, this shout attracted the attention of the inspecting team’s head. He walked over and asked, “Someone is offering high-interest loans?”

“Yes!”

“Can you explain in detail?” asked the leader.

“She knows very well.”

With that said, Fangzheng smiled at Liu Xinyu. “The happiness of the entire village is on you. Tell me the truth. All the best!”

When Liu Xinyu heard this, she gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.

“Aren’t you the one making the report?” a policeman asked Fangzheng.

Fangzheng said, “This Penniless Monk brought this patron to make the police report.”

“Then please step back,” said a policeman.

Fangzheng nodded with a smile and left with Red Boy. However, Red Boy used his divine powers to reflect the situation inside their minds.

Things went smoother than Fangzheng expected. The leader who came down to inspect the situation paid special attention to Liu Xinyu’s situation. Following that, he immediately organized his men to head to the village where Liu Xinyu’s family was. A massive operation on the loan sharks and their violence employed to hound for debts was carried out.

During this process, Fangzheng did not leave. He accompanied Liu Xinyu to watch the criminals get taken away.

When the news was released, the dark clouds above the village seemed to lessen. Many people’s faces had an additional tinge of sunshine…

Gradually, those who had run away returned. Wifes and husbands reunited, children reunited with their parents…

Liu Xinyu finally managed to see her father’s return. When her father returned, her mother came back as well. What surprised Liu Xinyu was that her mother had not left the entire time. She was only hiding nearby. The money that Liu Xinyu received from time to time was all earned by her hard work. She secretly passed it to Liu Xinyu via letters. She did not dare go home, afraid that the little bit of money she earned would be taken away by the creditors…

She only dared to come back today.

Although the loan sharks had been taken away, many normal creditors came. Facing these debts, it was still difficult for the family to bear them. However, at this moment, Liu Xinyu’s father stood up. “I will pay back the money that I owe everyone. Don’t worry, I won’t run. In the future, I will work, farm, and earn money. I’ll just keep some for living expenses. The rest will be returned to everyone. Give me some time, I will definitely pay them back…”

Hence, the next day, Liu Xinyu’s father woke up early and started work.

The people who had gone to the farm market to work once again formed a team… The only thing that made Liu Xinyu’s father sigh was that Song Jianguo would no longer get him to work in the morning. However, Liu Xinyu’s father also took on the responsibility of taking care of Song Jianguo… In his words, it was just one more meal. They just needed to tide it over by gritting their teeth.

A few years later, everyone finished paying their debts…

That day, a gust of wind blew the dark clouds away, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. A happy smile appeared on their tired faces. They had never felt that life could be so easy… It was even easier than when they were throwing money around!

Ten years later, a tiny temple was built in the village. There was a portrait in the temple. On the portrait was an elderly monk with a kind look. Beside him was a young monk. This was not a monastery nor was it considered a temple. It was not even built by the villagers.

It was built by Liu Xinyu. She would come back almost every year. She would sit in the small temple and thank the person in the portrait…

However, Fangzheng had no idea.

At that moment, Fangzheng was walking along the road with Red Boy. Looking at the busy road on both sides, Red Boy could not help but sigh. “Master, I miss home.”

Fangzheng nodded. He missed home too.

Fangzheng had no idea what was going on either. These few times, he had not met the reunion of father and son, or mother and daughter. This time, it was even better. It was a big family reunion. Fangzheng felt empty…

Just as he was saying this, someone in front shouted, “Oh my god, boss, what is this? It’s so heavy!”

Fangzheng looked up and saw a young man carrying a wooden box. After two steps, he placed it down and shouted to the store owner.

“Components for dumbbells. Help me bring them over. Thank you,” the boss shouted.

When the young man heard that, he immediately cried and shouted, “Boss, this weighs more than 50 kilograms! Can you help me?”

The boss said, “Don’t you see me doing my accounts? Hurry up…”

When Fangzheng saw this, he shook his head helplessly and walked over. “Amitabha. Patron, This Penniless Monk will help you.”

“You? No… Grandpa… Uh… Master, you? Can you?” The young man looked at Fangzheng and asked in astonishment.

Fangzheng was taken aback. Only then did he recall that he had become Zen Master One Finger. From his appearance, he looked to be in his seventies or eighties. To help someone carry items at his age, it was no wonder that the other party looked dumbfounded.

Fangzheng shook his head and didn’t say a word. He bent down and exerted strength, easily picking up something that weighed more than 50 kilograms. Then, he asked with a straight face, “Just bring it over?”

The young man was completely dumbfounded. He nodded his head in shock.

Fangzheng ignored him and directly brought the items into the store.

As soon as he put it down, the boss was stunned for a while before saying, “Eh? What’s the matter? This should be… Little Rong, how can you let an old man do this? Do you have a conscience?”

“Boss, he’s stronger than me,” Little Rong hurriedly ran over and said bitterly.

The boss looked at Fangzheng’s relaxed look and then looked at the crate on the ground. He said in embarrassment, “Sigh… Grandpa, this… How about I treat you to something to eat?”

Fangzheng subconsciously rubbed his stomach when he heard that.

Red Boy knew Fangzheng too well. Fangzheng’s skin was thicker than city walls. But when it was thin, it was thinner than a thin piece of paper. In such times, Fangzheng might reject the offer…
