Siheyuan: You Call Me a Deadbeat? Fine, I'm Not Paying You Back

For some special reason, the neighbors in the courtyard keep begging Li Facai to lend them money.

Then they all get hooked, and there's no stopping them.

Yi Zhonghai: "I'll give you all five thousand."

Jia Zhangshi: "You promised to lend it to me, so why won't you now? You're lending it today whether you like it or not! If you don't, I won't f*** tonight!"

Li Facai jumps in fright. "Fine, I'll lend it to you."

Xu Damao: "Brother Facai, I borrowed another two thousand. Here, take it all!"

Qin Huairu: "You rascal, this is the five hundred I saved for myself."

But when it comes time to repay him, he can't get back a single cent.

The neighbors take turns trying their luck, and every one of them ends up falling for Li Facai's tricks.

He buys a bicycle but never rides it. One whistle, and Xu Damao turns into a human pack animal, carrying him to work.

He buys delicacies from land and sea. One clang on the gong at his door, and Silly Zhu comes running over in his apron to cook.

When he's short on cash, one cough is all it takes for Jia Zhangshi, who spends her days pasting matchboxes together, to obediently bring him money.
