After hearing Director Wang's words, the people in the hospital glanced at Yi Zhonghai intentionally or unintentionally.

Those who donated money were also happy, as it seemed they could get their money back.

Liu Haizhong was so happy that he could hardly suppress his smile. He even wanted to flatter Director Wang right away.

Yi Zhonghai tried hard to control his expression, but he couldn't hide his gloomy eyes.

Director Wang continued: “Today someone went to the street office to report that they were forced to donate.

After I understood the situation, I found that it was not really a case of being forced to donate.

But there are definitely some people who are not very willing to donate, and they only donate for the sake of face.

Since this is the first time, Yi Zhonghai also took the initiative to report it today, so I don’t plan to pursue it.

Now the Jia family should return all the donations from last night and never do such things again in the future.

Of course, I do not rule out the possibility that some people sincerely donate money to help their neighbors, which is also worthy of praise.

So you can help the Jia family privately. I still encourage such good deeds. "

After Director Wang finished speaking, he looked at Yi Zhonghai and indicated that it was up to him to take over.

The purpose of Director Wang's coming here is to see that all the money is returned. If the people do not report it, she, as an official, will not investigate it.

Although she is a bit secretive and even a bit lazy in politics, when things are really brought to the table, she will still handle them fairly.

This is also the reason why Cao Anping does not dislike Director Wang. He was also a member of the system in his previous life, and he knows that most grassroots officials are like this.

They only deal with problems that have surfaced. After all, there are only a few people who actually take the initiative to serve the people.

Of course, it is already very good if the problems can be handled fairly and quickly, and you don’t have to set your expectations too high.

Yi Zhonghai received Director Wang's gaze and could only take over the conversation and said:

"Those who donated money last night, please come to Dongxu to collect the money. You can only collect as much as you donated. We are all watching, so don't report more than you deserve."

When everyone heard this, they all rushed forward and surrounded Jia Dongxu in three layers, including Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he felt unhappy: "You are so eager to collect the money, which shows that it is not a voluntary donation. This is simply a slap in my face."

He could understand Liu Haizhong because he was the one who had instigated the issue with his words, so the donation was not entirely voluntary.

But Yan Bugui, why are you running so fast? The money still belongs to Yi Zhonghai.

Of course there was also Sha Zhu. He had originally donated only ten yuan, but because he schemed against Xu Damao, he donated ten more yuan, plus he paid fifty yuan in compensation. In total, he lost seventy yuan in one night. His savings were only five hundred yuan. He didn't sleep well last night.

Now that I can get back twenty, I am naturally one of the most active people.

When Jia Dongxu saw the people surrounding him, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. He could only shout out with a guilty conscience:

"Mom, please give me the money. I don't have enough."

Jia Zhang looked at the eyes of the crowd. She was very unwilling to accept the money that was originally donated voluntarily, and now they were so eager to take it back. So she gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't have any money now. That was life-saving money, but I used it to buy food.

Just think of it as borrowing my house, I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible."

She thought of dragging it out first. As long as she agreed to borrow the money, the one who owed the money would be the boss.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Jia Zhang to be such a scoundrel.

Yi Zhonghai knew that such an excuse would not pass muster with Director Wang, so he could only advise:

"Sister-in-law Jia, you should pay it back first. We are all neighbors and they will definitely not see your family starving. You can borrow from me privately after you pay it back."

Jia Zhang seemed determined, she sat on the ground and cried:

"I really have no money now. Can't I just consider it as a loan? Do you really want to drive our Jia family to death, old... uh... God."

Director Wang narrowed his eyes and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Ms. Jia Zhang, it's more than fifty yuan. What did you buy? Take it out and let me see.

If you have the ability to buy fifty yuan worth of food a day, I will agree to your plan to treat the donation as a loan.

Think it over first. I don't have time to waste with you. If you dare to lie, I will turn around and leave now, and bring people to deal with you tomorrow."

Jia Zhang was stammering and unable to speak. Naturally, she didn't buy anything. Only Qin Huairu bought two dollars' worth of eggs. The money given to Jia Dongxu had not been used to buy food.

Even if we take out the money now, it would be a slap in our own face, and we are in a difficult situation.

Yi Zhonghai knew that he was going to be in trouble, so he quickly gave Jia Zhang a way out and said:

"Sister-in-law Jia, how much is left? Take it out quickly. I'll use it for you first. Don't be careless."

Jia Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "There are still 30...20 yuan left. More than 10 yuan are with Dongxu, and I will go back to get the remaining 10 yuan now."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless, but he did not expose the truth. Now he had to deal with Director Wang, otherwise he would also be implicated.

He thought: "I have contributed fifteen yuan, and if the Jia family returns twenty yuan, it will be thirty-five yuan, and the only thing missing is Sha Zhu's twenty yuan. Maybe Sha Zhu can wait a little longer."

After Jia Zhang came out, she handed the ten yuan to Jia Dongxu reluctantly.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai said, "The three of us, the stewards and Zhuzi, please wait for the others to leave first."

Although the three were a little unhappy, they still had to give Yi Zhonghai some face, thinking that they were ranked last because they donated more money.

Everyone was very happy after receiving their money back, and the atmosphere unexpectedly became lively, which was completely different from the somewhat depressing atmosphere when Director Wang was speaking just now.

Cao Anping, Xu Damao and several neighbors who did not donate found it a little funny.

Director Wang's expression looked a little grim. The people who received the money did not behave like they were donating voluntarily at all.

After more than a dozen people who donated a few cents received their money, Jia Dongxu still had 13 yuan left.

Yi Zhonghai took the remaining money directly and said to Director Wang: "The ten yuan I donated is considered a loan to Dongxu. He is my apprentice. Should this be okay?"

Director Wang didn't say anything, but he didn't object either.

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. This was just a small test for him.

He handed the only big black ten to Liu Haizhong.

He suspected that it was either Cao Anping or Liu Haizhong who made the report, so he sent the reporter away first, so that Director Wang would not take it so seriously.

Looking at the remaining three yuan and eighty cents in his hand, he said to Sha Zhu:

"Zhu Zi, I will pay you back the money you donated on behalf of the Jia family, but you know I don't have any money right now. I can only wait for my salary to be paid in a few days, and then I will give it to you. It's like I'm lending it to you, is that okay?"
