Siheyuan: I can change size at will

"Hey, is there going to be another school-wide meeting tonight?"

Cao Zhengshuang looked at the people in front of him and said in surprise.

Seeing that the real culprit had arrived, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi felt relieved.

Their chances tonight are, first, fundraising from the entire hospital, and second, making Cao Zhengshuang pay compensation.

These two things naturally need to start with the simplest ones.

Yan Bugui said: "Cao Zhengshuang, you are back just in time, let's have a meeting together."

As soon as Jia Dongxu got into trouble, a meeting of the entire institute was held.

According to Cao Zhengshuang's guess, it is most likely another donation to the Jia family.

What else can we do about this? We must destroy it.

But why did Bai Ling stand with them?

"Officer Bai, why are you here too?" Cao Zhengshuang asked curiously.

Bai Ling glared at Cao Zhengshuang. The sight of him reminded her of some not-so-good things that had happened between them.

"Starting tonight, I have decided to move into the Siheyuan and help you catch the thieves who come to steal things from the Siheyuan."

"Haha, thank you so much, Officer Bai. With you here, the thief will definitely not come again."

Cao Zhengshuang became alert. He had to be more careful when committing crimes next time so as not to let Bai Ling find out.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Yan Bugui said, "I'm going to invite everyone to a meeting today. I'm sure some of you already know about it."

"Today, Jia Dongxu had an accident at the steel mill. His right hand was amputated and he can no longer do heavy work."

"As a member of our courtyard, Jia Dongxu had to help him when something like this happened to him."

"In order to better help the Jia family, a poor family, overcome their current difficulties, we will hold a fundraising event for the Jia family tonight."

"Everyone lend a helping hand. Even a dime or two is not too little, and even ten or twenty dollars is not too much."

"Today, when we help the Jia family, we are also helping ourselves."

"No one can guarantee that you won't encounter any difficulties in the future!"

I have to say, Yi Zhonghai's rhetoric is quite good.

Directly stand on the moral high ground.

“I’ll donate a dollar.”

It was Bai Ling who spoke first.

She also felt that since she had encountered such a thing today, as a police officer, she should take the lead in donating money.

Yi Zhonghai was very happy. Jia Zhang walked over holding the donation box, her face full of joy.

"Wait, I have a problem."

Cao Zhengshuang raised his hand and everyone looked at him curiously.

"Cao Zhengshuang, don't make trouble. Donating money to Jia Dongxu is a serious matter." Yi Zhonghai blamed.

"Uncle Yi, have you reported this donation activity to the street office?" Cao Zhengshuang asked back.

Yi Zhonghai said proudly: "Cao Zhengshuang, I reported to the street office as soon as I got off work, and you can't find fault with this."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be smart this time."

Although Yi Zhonghai was well prepared this time, Cao Zhengshuang continued to oppose.

"When Jia Dongxu had the accident, I was right next to him, so I knew it very well."

"Jia Dongxu was injured in the steel mill, so the factory will naturally take care of it. Not only does he not have to pay for hospitalization, but he will also be given a certain amount of monetary compensation."

"So the Jia family is not short of money, and does not need donations from everyone."

"The factory will soon pay the Jia family."

Yi Zhonghai asked them to donate money, but Cao Zhengshuang found a reason for them not to pay.

Everyone naturally stood on Cao Zhengshuang's side.

Xu Damao was the first to speak up and said, "Cao Zhengshuang is right. The steel mill will be responsible for Jia Dongxu's disability. How can it be our turn?"

"That's right. For a steel mill as big as this one, the compensation paid to Jia Dongxu must be quite a lot."

"I think it's not just compensation, I think he can be transferred to a leisurely and retired position."

"So, this is a blessing in disguise for Jia Dongxu?"

“We don’t need donations at all.”

"Yes, the steel mill is so big, Jia Dongxu will definitely not be treated unfairly."

"I'm so envious. I also want to become disabled and be supported by the steel mill for the rest of my life."

Yi Zhonghai saw that public opinion had changed again.

As expected, Cao Zhengshuang was a bad apple that spoiled the whole barrel.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Everyone, don't be so gloating."

"The steel mill's care for Jia Dongxu is what a steel mill should do."

"We are a famous advanced unity courtyard. As Jia Dongxu's neighbors, shouldn't we give him some care?"

Yan Bugui was very unhappy. How could Yi Zhonghai snatch away what he was about to say?

Is this a preparation for seizing power?

But this power grab is a bit too much.

"Cough cough!"

Yan Bugui coughed a few times and said, "For this matter, we adopt the principle of voluntariness."

"If you are willing to donate, then donate. If you are not able to, then forget it."

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang looked unhappy.

Yan Bugui's statement of volunteering at this time is really undermining their cause.

Jia Zhang cried and wailed, "Our Jia family lives in such a difficult situation. We all rely on Jia Dongxu to earn money..."

"Wait a minute, Jia Zhang, you are a grown-up person with such a strong body, why don't you go out to work?"

Cao Zhengshuang said sarcastically.

"I worked?"

Since marrying into the Jia family, Jia Zhang has never worked.

When Cao Zhengshuang mentioned this, she was stunned.

Cao Zhengshuang continued, "As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on others, and it is better to rely on yourself than on others."

"Your Jia family has difficulties every day, and you ask us for help every day."

"Of the ten meetings held by the entire hospital, at least seven were related to your Jia family."

"You just mentioned it. The whole family depends on Jia Dongxu working alone to support them."

"You are a good person, why don't you go out to work?"

Cao Zhengshuang's words brought new ideas to the people in the courtyard.

"Yes, Jia Zhang is in such good health, why doesn't she go out to work?"

"Look, when she goes to the toilet, she can walk very fast. She will definitely have no problem going out to work."

"Jia Zhang can eat and sleep well, so it's no problem for her to go out and work to earn more money."

"There are two people earning money in their family, so their life must be comfortable."

It was naturally impossible for Jia Zhang to go to work.

It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.

Jia Zhang explained: "I am also very busy at home. I have to take care of two children."

"That's your daughter-in-law Qin Huairu's job. You've never taken care of her." Cao Zhengshuang said disdainfully.

"I also need to mend the soles of shoes. If I don't, we won't have shoes to wear at home."

One sole lasts for three generations, and the sole remains even after the person leaves.

Jia Zhang has been making shoe soles for so many years, but no one has seen her make many pairs of shoes.

Cao Zhengshuang smiled and said, "This is even better. You can go to work during the day and come back to mend shoe soles at night. You can have both work and life at the same time."

Jia Zhang said hurriedly: "It's hard to find a job at my age."

"It's okay. I'll take care of your job. I'll find you a job tomorrow."

Cao Zhengshuang said with a guarantee.

Everyone supported her: "That's right, Aunt Zhang, you really need to find a job. You can't rely on Jia Dongxu to support the family alone."
