Old Mrs. Liang lives in this front yard alone, taking care of her two grandchildren. She is unable to work because she lost her children. Like Wang Yuying, she relies on making matchboxes for a living and leads a very hard life.

Someone echoed, "Well, listen to Fourth Uncle, it is true. Old Lady Liang's family should be the worst off family in our courtyard."

"Now that you mentioned it, I remember that the Jia family's situation is indeed better than that of Old Lady Liang."

The uncle got angry when his speech was interrupted, but due to his rationality, he did not lose his temper immediately, because he had to admit that from an objective point of view, Mrs. Liang's difficulties were real.

So he said: "Fourth uncle is right, the Liang family is indeed in a difficult situation, we all know it.

But doesn’t the neighborhood office provide them with a living allowance every month? The Jia family did not receive this kind of help.”

Yang Jun then countered by asking, “Why can’t the Jia family enjoy this subsidy?”

Then he spread his hands and explained: "Isn't this obvious? Because the Jia family does not meet the subsidy standards, it means that their living conditions are slightly better than the Liang family."

He stared at his uncle and asked, "Uncle, should we donate money to Mrs. Liang's family?"

As he said the last sentence, Yang Jun crossed over the table, supported his desk with his hands, leaned forward slightly, and faced Yi Zhonghai.

Faced with Yang Jun's provocative and murderous eyes, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but step back.

The look was chilling, and he felt a chill all over his body and goose bumps stood up.

Realizing the inappropriateness of confronting the young man, he immediately straightened his back and said, “In fact, it is true that Mrs. Liang’s family is having a hard time, and the Jia family also needs help.

After all, Teacher Ran is still waiting for this money to be used for the children's tuition.

Fourth uncle, maybe it would be more appropriate for us to donate to both families at the same time?"

While he was speaking, he used his eyes to hint to Yang Jun not to put too much pressure on him.

He has already agreed to help the Liang family, and you should not stop him from helping the Jia family, otherwise it might lead to a fallout.

What if the Liang family’s donation fails? How embarrassed would the new “Fourth Uncle” be?

Hearing this, Yang Jun's eyes moved flexibly, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, let's follow your suggestion."

Yi Zhonghai smiled with satisfaction and thought to himself: Boy, you are not yet ready to fight with me.

Second uncle Liu Dazhong noticed the change in the situation and knew that he could not fall behind Yi Zhonghai, so he also took out ten yuan and put it on the table, and told the recorder: "Old Yan, help me record ten yuan."

The recorder, Uncle Three, Yan Bugui, immediately said, "Uncle Two, ten dollars."

After Liu Dazhong's name was recorded, it was his turn.

His face was gloomy, his eyelids blinked rapidly, and he reluctantly took out five coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.

101. Everyone knows that among all the brothers and sisters present here, I... don’t earn as much as my eldest brother and second brother. Didn’t my second brother mention it just now? Donating a lot or a small amount is a token of your appreciation... yes... it is a token of your appreciation.

Uncle Yan Bugui gave a few dry explanations and then returned to his original position.

At this moment, it was time for his younger brother Yang Jun to go on stage to donate money, and all the big guys and people in the hospital were looking at him intently.

Everyone was wondering how much money the newly appointed nephew would donate. Would he be as generous as his first and second uncles, or would he be as stingy as his third uncle and only give a few cents?

Even sisters Wang Yuying and Yang Mei who were sitting in the crowd were looking at Yang Jun nervously, their uneasiness in their hearts was self-evident.

Somehow, they caught the signal that Yang Jun had been deliberately confronting his uncle tonight.

If he donated too much, would he be offended by his uncle? And if he donated too little, how would the family be viewed in the courtyard in the future?

All eyes were on Yang Jun.

He slowly took out twenty dollars from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

Although the whole process is understated, it is full of severe tests.

"Uncle Si, twenty dollars.

"The uncle responded with a hint of surprise in his voice, which was deliberately amplified by a lot of decibels.

“This is the courage of adults. Officials are different. Their awareness is brilliant.

“Immediately there were compliments.

"Uncle Four is really generous. This is more than enough for a full month's salary.

' another person echoed.

"Hey, look at the expression on uncle's face, it's as black as an iron pot.

"Someone else said jokingly.

Yang Jun looked calm and did not get carried away by his victory over Yi Zhonghai.

He knew that this was only the first fight and the real showdown had not yet begun.

Zhuzi Shadan walked over with his chest puffed out, opened the pocket of his Zhongshan suit, took out a handful of banknotes, spit on them, turned around and smiled foolishly,

"Although I am not a big shot in the hospital or an official in the factory, we should always emulate the big guys and learn from their spirit. Today I will also make a contribution and donate ten dollars."

After Sha Zhu threw down ten yuan, he seemed to cast a look at Ran Qiuye.

This proves that men are actually loving.

Suddenly Xu Damao shouted from the crowd: "Hey, Zhuzi, why don't you follow Uncle Si's example? He donated 20 yuan."

"Sun thief, are you looking for a beating? We are different, okay? He is an official and has the face of the elders, but I am just a commoner." Shadan's eyes became fierce and he immediately retorted.

"So what you said was false?" Xu Damao responded slowly, with an increased tone of sarcasm.

"Sun thief, you are just trying to stir up trouble.

You dare to say I'm bragging? Come on, I'll show you my skills."

At this time, Xu Damao picked up the uneaten melon seeds on the ground and threw them to the ground, clapped his hands, then took out ten yuan from his pocket and put it on the table, obviously showing off.

Seeing this scene, Sha Zhu, who had just wanted to fight back, was restrained.

"Shazhu, what do you think? I, Xu Damao, am just awesome!" Xu Damao looked at Shazhu and smiled complacently.

Finally, Shazhu lost the fight and went back to his original seat in a rage.

Shadan was originally in a very angry mood, but after seeing Ran Qiuye next to him, he had no choice but to go back in disappointment.

Afterwards, everyone continued to donate.

Most of them were in denominations of one or two yuan, and there were a few in denominations of fifty cents, but there were no more in denominations greater than five yuan.

In the end, the total donation amount for the entire hospital was only 57.81 yuan.

Uncle San then handed the money and the details to Aunt Liang.

Aunt Liang was so moved that her eyes were wet, and she insisted that her little grandson kowtow three times to express his respect to everyone for this generous donation.

Soon, the crowd quieted down and everyone found a seat to sit down.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the table forcefully, calming the noisy atmosphere.

He first took out ten yuan and put it on the table, then glanced at Yang Jun, as if putting silent pressure on him before the fight.

Then, Yi Zhonghai took out another ten yuan.

Uncle San said, "Uncle, donate twenty dollars." As soon as he finished speaking, people in the yard couldn't help whispering.

"It's the same donation, but there's different treatment."

"Yi Zhonghai always favors the Jia family, as you can see from the fact that he frequently donates money to the Jia family.

"

"That's too much. Yi Zhonghai is a nobody and obviously looks down on Mrs. Liang's family.

"

Yi Zhonghai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Yang Jun coldly. He didn't care about the comments of the people in the yard.

Now his biggest rival is Yang Jun. As long as he defeats Yang Jun, he can do whatever he wants with these people. You want to suppress me, let's see how you deal with it.

You acted noble and refused to donate before, now let's see how you end up.

The more donations are made to the Jia family, the more comfortable their New Year holidays will be.

When I came to the second brother, I saw the muscles on his face trembling constantly.

If we continue as before, the twenty dollars we have earned tonight will be gone.

Normally he wouldn't let Guangming and Guangfu even touch a fried egg, and he just lost twenty yuan in vain, which was enough for him to earn after working hard in the fields for ten days.

At this moment, he was wondering whether he should just donate a few cents like Uncle San...

The third uncle's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot at this moment. He lowered his head and said nothing. Although he only donated 50 cents, it already made him heartbroken.

Just after recovering from his injury, he seems to be facing a new blow.

When the second and third uncles were hesitant,

Yang Jun stood up and signaled everyone to keep quiet.

“The uncles all said that we should donate according to our ability and donate from the heart.

Since it is a voluntary donation, then..."

He turned his head with a smile, glanced at Yi Zhonghai unintentionally, and said to everyone:

“I won’t participate this time, you guys can do whatever you want.

"

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he returned to his seat with a smile.

Haha, grass, although it is a plant, here refers to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai, since you are so petty, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Want to fight me? Yang Jun sneered in response.

Yi Zhonghai sat there with a sullen face. He wanted to vent his anger, but Yang Jun directly bypassed him and the other party stopped competing with him.

Hearing these words, the second uncle immediately stood up in excitement.

“As the second master of the courtyard, I have now publicly stated that I will not donate to the Jia family anymore, and I will do what I can.

"

The third uncle, who was thinking about how to reduce donations, heard what the second and fourth uncles said, and his face was filled with joy, as if it were full of autumn chrysanthemum petals.

The big men in the courtyard have always been in the same boat. As the third uncle, of course he has to follow the first two.

He then declared:

"I don't want to donate today. Didn't Brother Yi just say that this is voluntary... Indeed, it is a voluntary donation.

"

---

As soon as the third uncle announced that he would not donate, the people below burst into laughter.

"Even the master doesn't donate, why should we join in the fun? Even a little bit of money is worth being proud of. We can buy several kilograms of sweet potato noodles and enjoy them at home.

"

"I'm tired of donating to the Jia family every day. Look at them, everyone is so fat and bloated like pigs.

"

Qin Huairu's family, who were attending the whole hospital meeting, also sat there with solemn expressions. Seeing other people cheering for not donating money to the Jia family, she and Jia Zhang were extremely angry.

Jia Zhang suddenly jumped out and shouted:

“Why donate to old lady Liang but not to us? Is there no law?”

"Old Jia, you have to open your eyes and face the reality. How are we going to live in the future if everyone bullies us orphans and widows?"

Jia Zhang broke down emotionally, fell to the ground, banged her knees, and cried.

"Xudong, take away all those guys who bullied us, and let these unscrupulous people go to hell.

"

Jia Zhang knew in her heart that the reason why everyone in the compound was unwilling to support their family was because of Yang Jun's obstruction. However, reason told her that she could not mention Yang Jun's name directly.

Now, Yang Jun's identity is very different. He is the factory director and the fourth uncle, so he has to know the severity of his mischief.

When Qin Huairu saw her mother-in-law start to act out, she immediately turned into a dramatic actress, showing a tearful look, "Neighbors and fellow villagers, I'm sorry for everyone. We really haven't done well enough at home. I hope you can understand our situation as an orphan and a widow, and forgive my mother-in-law."

Qin Huairu knows how to capture people's hearts and resonate with them by leveraging her identity as a weak woman.

Seeing that someone had expressed understanding and sympathy for her family, she walked towards Sha Zhu, squeezing back tears as she walked.

"Zhu Zi, you understand Mrs. Qin's suffering best. Do you think my life is easy? I am a widow with three children and I have to take care of my elderly grandmother. Sometimes Fatty Guo in the factory always tries to take advantage of me, and when I come back, there are people gossiping about me behind my back. Why is my life so difficult?" Qin Huairu continued to talk about the difficulties of life.

"This is all my fault. I can't even afford Banggeng's tuition. If it weren't for the third uncle who came to our rescue and offered to donate money for us, I would really be at a loss.

But now no one wants to help, what should I do? " Her words became more and more sad.

Sha Zhu has been ignoring her recently and even stopped sending her lunch boxes.

When she got home today and saw Sha Zhu and Teacher Ran having a lively conversation, she instantly felt that an unprecedented crisis was approaching.

If Teacher Ran really gets too close to Sha Zhu, then all their help will be gone in the future.

In today's performance, she was eager to win back Shazhu. Even if she couldn't, she would at least destroy their relationship.

Sha Zhu frowned when he saw Ran Qiuye next to him. What did Qin Huairu mean by this? Could it be that the person she was looking for was...

It seems that Junzi was right. Qin Huairu had bad intentions and wanted to break up him and Teacher Ran.
