Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

As soon as Yi Zhonghai said this, he felt a middle-aged woman kicking his calf hard.

At a glance, I saw the old lady's eyes were sharp.

But the words have been spoken, and I can't take them back.

But he was obviously overthinking. Jia Dongxu was not interested in this today. He looked at the mixed flour buns and the plate of pickled cabbage on the table and shook his head: "No, Master, you and Master's wife can eat it. I won't eat it."

Just as Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief, Jia Dongxu continued, "Master, the guy surnamed Yang next door is eating meat again. The aroma drifted to our house, and Banggeng refused to stop and kept asking for meat. No matter how we tried to coax him, he wouldn't stop."

Again.

The old lady coughed, and Yi Zhonghai, who was confused, didn't say anything.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Jia Dongxu continued, "Master, you said that this guy surnamed Yang is too heartless. He knew that our family was poor, but he still insisted on eating meat every day, and he stewed the meat so fragrantly. Tell me, how can a child as old as Banggeng not be greedy? Master, you are my master. You and your mistress have no children. I am your biological son, and Banggeng is your biological grandson. In the future, he will carry banners and break pots for you. Tell me, isn't it a slap in your face that he is so greedy for Banggeng?"

This guy wants money but doesn't say it directly. He is just trying to squeeze me and force me to pay for it.

However, this time, Yi Zhonghai already had a countermeasure. After Jia Dongxu asked for five dollars last time, he thought of a transfer skill.

"Dongxu, I know about the difficulties your family is facing. Master is always thinking about you. Even if you didn't come today, I would have come to find you." Yi Zhonghai said.

Jia Dongxu was delighted, thinking that Yi Zhonghai was going to give him money, and quickly said gratefully: "Master, I knew you were the most considerate of me. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you and your wife when you are old."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and continued, "I've thought about it. Your family has been in difficult circumstances for a long time. The three or five yuan I give you won't solve the actual problem and it won't last long."

Jia Dongxu was stunned: "Master, what do you mean..."

Yi Zhonghai said, "I want to organize all the people in the hospital to donate money to your family. There is strength in numbers. There are more than 20 families in the hospital. If each family donates a few dollars to you, it will be several dozen yuan. What do you think?"

Jia Dongxu thought about it and it seemed to be true.

I used to think simply and just asked Yi Zhonghai for money, but how much could Yi Zhonghai give me? Only three or five dollars each time. It would not be appropriate to ask for money too often.

But if the whole hospital donates, we will get at least a few dozen dollars, maybe even a hundred dollars.

If you can really donate a hundred or so yuan, then you will be rich, right? You will have to eat meat every day in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu nodded: "Master, what you said makes sense, but is this feasible? Will they donate money to our family?"

He also knew that his family was not very popular in this courtyard, so he was a little worried about the effect.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, "Don't worry about this. Don't you still have me? You can go door to door and tell them that I'm going to hold a general meeting. The heads of every household must attend. I'll tell them about your family's difficulties, and then I'll donate 30 yuan first. They'll have to follow suit. People like Liu Datou, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao can't donate less. Oh, and there's Yang Chong. I have to ask him to give out at least 20 yuan this time. That's at least 200 yuan. Isn't that enough for your family to eat for a year or two?"

Jia Dongxu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Master, I will listen to you. If I can really donate money, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Yi Zhonghai said: "What are we talking about, you and me? How can I just sit there and watch you suffer? So, once the donation is successful, you can return the money I donated to me privately."

Jia Dongxu thought to himself, "Okay, old man. I thought you really cared about me, but this is what you were thinking."

But if he could really get everyone in the hospital to donate money for him, then he wouldn't care about Yi Zhonghai's few dollars, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I'll listen to you."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Okay, go and inform the whole hospital now, and we'll hold a hospital-wide meeting later."

So, Jia Dongxu went out and started to inform every household in the courtyard. He first went to the backyard to find Liu Haizhong: "Second uncle, are you eating? The first uncle asked me to tell you that there will be a general meeting of the whole courtyard later. Don't be late then."

Liu Haizhong was eating. There was a plate of scrambled eggs and pickled radish on the table. The scrambled eggs were his only treat, while his wife and two sons, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, could only eat pickled radish strips. He looked up and was stunned: "Old Yi wants to hold a meeting for the whole hospital? What's the matter? Is there a new spirit in the street?"

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything, but just said: "I don't know, you will know when you go there, Second Uncle, you must go, our whole hospital meeting cannot be separated from you and my master to preside over the overall situation."

Liu Haizhong felt quite comfortable with this compliment. He nodded and said, "Of course. This hospital cannot do without the three of us at the helm. Okay, go back and tell Lao Yi that I will definitely go."

Jia Dongxu went out happily and then notified other families.

Liu Haizhong watched him leave and muttered in confusion, "It's still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and I haven't heard that the higher-ups have any new spirit to convey. Why is Old Yi holding a hospital-wide meeting?"

The second aunt said, "It's definitely not a good thing for Old Yi to take the initiative to call a meeting of the whole hospital. You'd better be smart when the time comes. Don't be so hasty to speak, and don't be so stupid as to let others use you as a tool all the time."

Liu Haizhong glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I Liu Haizhong the kind of person who lets others use me as a tool?"

As he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the egg, he bumped into the chopsticks that Liu Guangtian secretly stretched out to him.

"Bang!" Liu Haizhong knocked Liu Guangtian's chopsticks away and started to curse: "Are you looking for a beating? Do you think you can eat this egg?"

As he said that, he stood up, held Liu Guangtian down without saying a word and slapped him on the butt a few times.

Liu Guangtian cried out in pain, but Liu Guangfu at the side took this opportunity to quickly pick up two eggs and stuffed them into his mouth, then lowered his head and chewed a few bites before swallowing them as if nothing had happened.

Liu Haizhong slapped Liu Guangtian several times before letting him go under the persuasion of the second aunt, but he was still cursing: "You stupid kid, you do nothing all day and still want to eat eggs. Do you think you can eat eggs? If you have the ability, go out and earn money to buy yourself eggs."

The second aunt persuaded, "That's enough, just hit him a few times, and eat quickly, because we have to go to the meeting later."

Liu Haizhong then returned to his seat and sat down again: "Humph, you little bastard, if I didn't have something important to do later, I would beat your ass to pieces today. Let's see if you dare to steal my eggs again in the future."

As he said this, he lowered his head, his eyes widened: "Why are my eggs less again?"

He raised his head and looked at Liu Guangfu. Liu Guangfu was very smart. When he saw that something was wrong, he stood up and ran away.

"You little bastard, you also stole my eggs. You'll never amount to anything!" Liu Haizhong was so angry that he grabbed a broom and threw it over, but he didn't hit Liu Guangfu. Instead, he scared Lou Xiaoe who was passing by the door.
