As soon as he opened the door, Lin's father rushed in like a madman, grabbed him by the collar, and spit in his face: "You little bastard! You lied to my son that investing can make money. I gave you all my savings, and now you say the project is dead? Give me back my money! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Fang Zhiyi was so exhausted that he was about to explain when he saw Lin Zhou sticking his head out from behind Lin's father. He winked at him and whispered as he separated the two of them, "Zhiyi, take out the money first. My father has a bad temper. I'll explain to you after he calms down."
Fang Zhiyi looked at Lin's father's flushed face, then looked at Lin Zhou's "pleading" look, and his heart softened. He took out the money and gave it to Lin's father. Lin's father took the money and slammed the door and left cursing. However, Lin Zhou patted Fang Zhiyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thanks, I'll consider this money a loan from you, and I will definitely pay it back later."
Fang Zhiyi looked at the deformed door handle and felt a little uncomfortable for the first time, but he still comforted himself that Lin Zhou must have some difficulties.
A few days later, Lin Zhou heard that Fang Zhiyi had bought a car, and immediately came to congratulate him. He asked Fang Zhiyi to treat him to a meal. After the meal, he asked to borrow the car to take his father back to his hometown. Fang Zhiyi was a little hesitant, but seeing Lin Zhou's pleading expression, he softened his heart again and gave him the car keys with a full tank of gas.
But when Lin Zhou returned the car, Fang Zhiyi was stunned. One side of the car door could not be closed, and there were several deep scratches on the other side. Looking at his expression, Lin Zhou smiled awkwardly: "The country roads are not easy to drive on, you don't mind, right? Given our relationship...how about I find a way to compensate you?" Although he didn't say this, he knew very well in his heart that Fang Zhiyi would not let him pay, after all, they were "good brothers", weren't they?
Fang Zhiyi looked at the damaged car and felt upset, but he still didn't feel comfortable arguing with Lin Zhou. He just smiled and paid for the car to be taken to the repair shop himself.
But after Lin Zhou returned home, his story changed again.
"Dad, Fang Zhiyi is so stingy! He just scratched my car a little bit, but he still gave me the cold shoulder and said he wanted me to pay him thousands of dollars! I gave him all the money I just earned."
Lin's father was furious: "I told you not to associate with this kid. He looks honest, but he is actually that kind of person!" He immediately ran to Fang Zhiyi's door and cursed him. Fang Zhiyi went to repair his car, and Fang's father also went back to his hometown. When Fang Zhiyi came back, he heard from the neighbors that Lin's father had been there. He was a little confused. When he heard from the neighbors that Lin's father scolded him for being crazy about money, Fang Zhiyi felt upset. He went to look for him, but was pulled out by Lin Zhou.
"My dad is like that, you know that."
Fang Zhiyi hadn't failed to sense something was amiss, but every time Lin Zhou acted pitiful, he couldn't bring himself to sever ties. That was until that night, when Lin Zhou, bruised and battered, knocked on his door. He plopped down on his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Zhiyi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone playing cards with those guys. I lost a lot. They said they'd break my legs if I didn't pay them back! Please save me! I won't do it again!"
Fang Zhiyi looked at the wound on his face and his heart softened. He took Lin Zhou to the clinic at the entrance of the community to get bandaged. He then withdrew three thousand yuan from his bank card and gave it to Lin Zhou: "Use this money to pay back part of it first. For the rest, talk to them and tell them not to associate with those people anymore. They're not good people."
Lin Zhou took the money and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Zhiyi, you are really my savior. I will definitely be a good person in the future and repay you well."
But Fang Zhiyi never expected that kindness would bring disaster. Lin Zhou did not go to pay back the money, but went to the card table again to get it back.
When he was blocked by the loan sharks, Lin Yu was completely panicked.
