"This old man, it's not that we don't borrow it, it's that my old man has borrowed too much. The so-called emergency relief is not to help the poor, you have borrowed 300 times before and after. It's really inconvenient to borrow it again.'" , It was another lending day, Li Chen sat behind the Hu table and said to the old man with gray hair.

"In the past, when Zen Master Huiming got it again, he would lend it to Xiao Lao'er. Where is the Hui Ming Zen Master, now the young man, there is no sympathy at all. I think I'm getting older, poor me." , I saw an old man crying and crying in front of the table, and Li Chen couldn't bear it for a while.

"Yes, Shisanlang, the monks are merciful, so you can lend it to the old man." Someone on the side helped, either someone else or Wuming, "Look, those believers are saying that if they continue like this, it will be difficult for the temple."

A little farther away, some believers who had come to borrow money were pointing here and whispering something, making Li Chenzhi frown, "However, he has already borrowed a lot, and if he continues to borrow like this, all the monks in the temple will drink the northwest wind." , I can't bear to return it, but this loan is not repaid, and it is not a way.

"Lend it to him first, and then talk about the rest." "But...", Li Chen also argued, "Old man, I'm not alive anymore, I've had a hard time these days... Even borrowing money from the Buddha is disgusted and difficult..."'Don't cry, don't cry, old man, I'll lend you this money.』

"Thank you, thank you, little old man has a way to live now, thank you Master Wuming." , borrowed the money, the old man was so thankful that he left, and a strong man next to him helped him take away the ten yuan money, Li Chen's brows wrung deeper, as if, there was a sense of disobedience... Li Chen was about to think deeply, but soon the next person came up, and he didn't have time to think about it.

There are quite a few people who come to borrow money today, even more than a while ago. As I said before, when the green and yellow are not received, it is the time when the peasants need money the most. In particular, it will not be long before the Longevity Temple will conduct a closed training camp. Still going on?

Of course, it will be carried out, as I said, it will be divided into summer and winter peace, and the mountain gate will be closed for about a few months. Therefore, if you don't take advantage of this month to borrow, you won't be able to borrow when you are short of money.

It's just that today is different from the usual lending day in that Li Chen met two bad customers who had repeatedly borrowed and failed to repay before. One of them, Li Chen, scolded away, and now this old man, seeing that Li Chen didn't borrow it, began to rely on the old and sell the old, and began to pretend to be pitiful, which made Li Chen not very annoying, and finally under the intervention of Wuming, he still borrowed it, which made Li Chen quite unhappy.

"Bang." , with a muffled sound, "Pay back." , a woman with rough hands and feet, put a big bag of money on the table. This woman Li Chen recognized, and then he turned his gaze to the side, and sure enough, it was the wife that day.

"Give." Please put it away.'" , Someone came to repay the money, Li Chen was still very happy, Wuming commanded the monks, quickly counted the repayment, nodded to Li Chen, and Li Chen returned the IOU.

At the end of another day's loan day, Li Chen counted the warehousing, and returned to his account room with ease, ringing while walking, maybe he was too much, people may really have difficulties, people in this era are more simple than pure, and they will always pay back when they have the opportunity.

"Thirteen Lang, the abbot asks you to come over." As soon as Li Chen returned to the tent, a monk came to greet him, saying that the abbot was looking for him, Li Chen heard it just right, and he also wanted to talk to the abbot about this matter, which was the last effort.

"Abbot." Entering the abbot's room, Li Chen found that Wuming was also there, he first saluted the abbot, and then greeted Wuming like Wuming, so he climbed onto the couch, pulled Zhang Putuan, and sat down.

Speaking of which, Li Chen really didn't sit like a statue, looking at people's enlightenment, kneeling and sitting in a proper manner, Li Chen sat on the nursery with his feet crossed in front, Li Chen really didn't like to come to the abbot here, he was really unaccustomed to sitting and very tired. But there is no way, the Zen master Hui Lin is used to it.

"I heard Wuming say that Thirteen Lang had a misunderstanding with the believers who came to borrow money today." The abbot didn't play Shen Shen and said directly.

"Indeed." , Li Chen nodded, "Abbot, even if the temple is merciful, there is no such thing, how can you borrow money and it will not be reasonable, if you don't pay it back, you will just use the temple as an ATM, uh, I mean, borrow and borrow again from the temple, there is no reason in the world."

"Maybe people are really in trouble, the abbot, the monks don't have so many mundane things, and they don't have so many needs, and the temple earns thousands of dollars every year, and they have to do soup porridge and disaster relief, and they don't lend it to others if they are in urgent need." , Li Chen's words made the abbot nod his head, and he spoke on the side. It makes sense. Let the abbot twist his beard and not know what to think.

"Is there a lot of this?" After a while, the abbot spoke. "Not much, just a few, all of them have been borrowed but not returned, and they have been borrowed again. And the amount borrowed...""Is there any borrowing or not repayment?" Didn't pay it back?' Goku interjected.

"There are a few of them." , Li Chen replied, "There are also some who will pay back..." "Abbot, the believers who have always come to the temple to borrow money will repay the money on time, just a few, poor people want to come, these people have difficulties. I see.'"

"Speaking of which, we and other monks really shouldn't think about the world, every year there is enough food and clothing for the monks in the monastery, and enough is about the same." Zen Master Hui Lin thought about it for a moment and said, "According to the poor way, if those believers are really in trouble..."

"Wait a minute, Abbot." , Li Chen said hurriedly, "Even if there is money in the temple, it shouldn't be like this..." "Lee Sun-shin." Wu Ming said solemnly, "You have been coming to the Longevity Temple for a while, and you should know that the monks in this temple are not pampered monks, and usually whether they are monks or novices, they have to do daily work. Cultivation and diligence are the true qualities of my Buddha."

"Some remote Buddha temples, bhikshus have to work tirelessly to transform their fate, and these are all exempted from longevity temples. Nowadays, since the monks in the monastery are living a safe life, they should not pursue anything else, and practice Buddhism. It is also necessary to open the doors of Buddhism and help those who are in need, so that they can feel the compassion of our Buddha."

"Well, then—" "Wait a minute, Abbot." , Hui Lin was about to agree, but a picture flashed in Li Chen's mind, his eyes drifted over his socks. At this time, he suddenly remembered what the sense of disobedience was when he saw the old man this morning.

"If those people can afford it, but they don't pay it back. And keep questioning?' "What's the point?" "Today's old man, he's wearing silk shoes..." "Yes, if you really can't afford to pay it back, how can you have the money to buy silk shoes?"

"Maybe it's old." Goming interjected, "Maybe that old man had a good family and a few good pairs of shoes. You can't force someone to wear broken shoes to challenge you.'"

"Old shoes aren't the point. Wearing silk shoes means two things.'" Li Chen shook his head, "First, he has a good family background. Okay, even if it's an old shoe..."Li Chen interrupted Wu Ming to interject.

"He borrowed money years ago, how long can a pair of silk shoes last. Silk shoes are no more durable than ordinary bast shoes.'"

"Even if it was the old man's newly made silk shoes when he borrowed money. But now he is poor, and his clothes are very ordinary, how can he still wear silk shoes.'"

"I can wear silk shoes, and I still wear them out, which shows that the old man is not yet at the point of exhaustion. At least the old man didn't think he was poor, so he didn't care about wearing those silk shoes." Seeing that the abbot praised his own reasoning, Li Chen was satisfied with his reasoning ability, and he could see so many problems from a pair of silk shoes.

"From the moment the old man wears silk shoes, it means that the old man has definitely not reached the point where he not only can't pay back the money, but also needs to borrow money." "Perhaps, that old man is the one who wants to save face." Wu Ming spoke, "Abbot, when I traveled abroad, I also saw many believers, who were glamorous on the surface, but poor in private."

"I can't see through the word 'greed', Amitabha." "It's not greed... It's not like that.' Li Chen objected.

"If it's really about saving face, how can he wear such shabby clothes. Those who really want to save face are well-dressed, but their shoes may be negligent." , Li Chen thought that if this was the case, "If this is the case, I'm afraid that old man is pretending to be poor."

"Those who are glamorous and want to save face will not be like the old man, crying bitterly in public, saying that he is old and how his life is difficult." , The more Li Chen thought about it, the more he felt that he had seen through the truth of the matter, "I can afford to wear silk shoes, and I can be so shameless, I think that old man is deliberate, he definitely can't afford to pay it back."

"Abbot, I think this matter will need to be investigated carefully. Of course, the disciples of Buddhism are compassionate and purify all sentient beings. But when it comes to wicked people with ulterior motives, the Buddhas also have angry eyes.'" At this time, Wu Ming didn't say anything about the compassion of the Buddhist disciples, "Abbot, leave this matter to the little monk."

"Well, forget it." Hui Lin gave such an answer, which made Li Chen speechless, "But in the future, if that old man needs to borrow money again, don't lend him any more."

"In the future, no matter what, the borrowing money has to be a little bit, the longevity temple relief sick, old, lonely, lonely, if you are sick, you can come to the temple for treatment, other hungry, frozen, the temple has a regular soup kitchen. The capacity of the Longevity Temple is limited, and those treasures are still left. Those who are truly poor need help and good faith.'"

"Finally a good thing was done." , although it was not possible to track down whether the old man really needed to be questioned, but this loophole was finally plugged. Li Chen felt that he didn't receive this salary in vain. But he didn't know that a conspiracy was coming to him.
