Ye Chuan stood there calmly, his face calm, no matter what Yi Zhonghai said, he did not react at all. "Since the street calls on us to interact and help each other, we must actively respond, and every person and every family must deeply understand the meaning of this work." Yi Zhonghai further emphasized.

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, adjusted his glasses and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a little confusion. Why had he never been so active in activities held by the street office in the past?

"Don't worry, Grandpa Yi, we will definitely heed the call of the street office!" Yi Zhonghai's die-hard supporter Sha Zhu echoed loudly.

Xu Damao put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Sha Zhu, and said hatefully: "How stupid!"

Sha Zhu glared at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, you haven't been beaten for a long time, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Xu Damao was still frightened. He touched his nose and said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao, obviously quite unhappy with his thoughtless words. "Everyone in the hospital knows the situation. The deaf old lady is a five-guarantee household. Now that she is old, we must take care of her feelings so that she doesn't feel neglected." Yi Zhonghai went on to explain, winning unanimous approval from the audience. Even the street office, police station and factory have tried their best to care for the old lady.

Everyone nodded, Yi Zhonghai looked at the neighbors' reactions with satisfaction and continued, "The other thing is about the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu was injured on duty and broke both knees; Jia Zhang had no stable job and had two young children, Xiaodang and Banggeng.

Qin Huairu's salary last month was only 13 yuan..."

Qin Huairu lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry. Sha Zhu was heartbroken. "Huairu still needs to support her family, and nutrition is indispensable. 13 yuan a month is definitely not enough to cover the full month's expenses.

As neighbors in the courtyard, we should lend a helping hand and assist the Jia family to overcome the difficulties. "

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the crowd began to buzz and whisper. Although the voices were low, the indecisiveness in everyone's expressions clearly showed that this suggestion was unlikely to resonate with people.

Everyone's salary was around 30 yuan, none of their families were wealthy, and they all remembered clearly what kind of person Jia Dongxu was, so no one was willing to help his family.

Ye Chuan was in the crowd and could clearly hear people whispering. "Why? I can't even eat enough!"

"Yes, as if he had a very high salary!"

"With the subsidy, Yi Zhonghai should have nearly 100 yuan, right? Let him do some good things!"

Ye Chuan smiled, this is what the public wants.

There were no troublesome people in the hospital in the past, and if there were, they would be dealt with by Sha Zhu's force.

Yi Zhonghai's face was slightly gloomy. It was really embarrassing that no one agreed with his words. "Well, as the 'parent' of the courtyard, I would like to express my opinion first.

I will bear the bulk of the cost of the deaf old lady's living expenses, and everyone can just make a symbolic gesture.

As for the Jia family, I will also donate 10 yuan, and everyone should also contribute a little. We can't just watch our neighbors get into trouble and do nothing, right? "

Yan Bugui felt torn. According to the rules, he should have donated generously, but in fact, he had no money at home.

What's more, Yi Zhonghai, the old swindler, did not inform him in advance, and his sudden proposal caught him off guard.

Before the donation amount was decided, Sha Zhu interrupted and said, "I'll donate five yuan!" As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Huairu proudly. When his eyes met hers, he suddenly felt happy.

Liu Hai had an idea in his heart: this was his chance to show himself, and if he donated more, maybe Director Wang would hire him as a "parent" again.

So he said firmly: "Old Yi, then I'll add one, I'll pay six yuan."

Everyone was surprised as to why Liu Haizhong, who had always been frugal, suddenly became so generous and even had one yuan more than Sha Zhu!

Sha Zhu had already offered his heart, Yan Bugui could no longer remain silent, he spoke: "Well... I'll just pay a small amount."

Yi Zhonghai looked at him with some dissatisfaction. The director of management only contributed one cent, and no matter how much others donated, it would be the same amount. What was the point of holding this meeting?

The deaf old lady opened her eyes and said, "Although I have no money, I will donate three yuan."

In fact, she was not willing to pay, but she did it reluctantly to save Yi Zhonghai's face.

To the blind old lady, as long as Shazhu is doing well, she is satisfied and she doesn't care how other people are doing.

Sha Zhu crossed his arms and glared at Xu Damao, sneering: "Xu Damao, you are a projectionist, right? You earn a lot of money, can you donate a figure?"

Xu Damao didn't want to donate, but he had to, so he said, "The third eldest brother gave one yuan, so I...will also donate one yuan."

The rest of the neighbors also contributed a little, some gave fifty cents, some only one dollar.

Jia Dongxu's face was as hard as iron. What good could one dollar and fifty cents do? The change added together was not as much as his previous salary, much less.

There was a gleam in Jia Zhang's eyes. After getting the money, she must deduct half of it and give the rest to Qin Huairu's living expenses.

Ye Yongshun wanted to pay one yuan to silence the gossips, but his son pulled his sleeve and he remained silent.

This one dollar is nothing in Ye Chuan's view, but to him, these guys don't deserve help at all, so he decided not to donate.

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and said sternly: "Captain Ye, you are now the leader of the transport team, shouldn't you set an example?"

They were surprised that Ye Mune was so honest that he became the captain.

But the loading and unloading team leader is actually no different from an ordinary worker, except that he gets a few more dollars in subsidies.

With Yi Zhonghai's words, it was obvious that he was going to use Lao Ye as the meat in the pan.

Ye Chuan was not willing to give in to this. "My dad has to pay extra money to be the captain of the loading and unloading team? Where does this logic come from?"

Yi Zhonghai showed a sly smile, and he was obviously sure that he could control Ye Chuan. "Your father was asking me, why are you talking nonsense with me? Do you think you have the final say on all matters at home?" He deliberately suppressed his arrogance. "Convening a yard meeting is not an interrogation by the police, the head of the household must answer! Yi Zhonghai, don't overstep your authority." Ye Chuan responded tit for tat and mercilessly.

Yi Zhonghai was going crazy. No matter what he said, the other party could always find a reason to refute it, and it was quite reasonable. "Stop messing around. Can what you said really represent your family's wishes?"

Ye Chuan said without hesitation: "Of course!" His eyes were firm and he did not give in at all.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the old Ye couple with an angry face, as if he was giving them a lecture, and said sarcastically: Look at Liu Haizhong, he slapped you in the face when he disagreed with you, and you, your grandchildren, dare to be the backbone!

Old Ye Zi continued, "Brother, let my child decide on this matter. We will all agree with what he says." His wife Liu Yue also nodded in agreement.

Yi Zhonghai was left out. The other person had the final say, and he couldn't continue to dwell on this topic. "Everyone has donated to the courtyard, and the old people are frugal. Why doesn't the Ye family pay a share?" He questioned. "Why should my family pay? Jia Dongxu has a disabled leg, but Jia Zhangshi still has all her limbs intact. Can't she find a job?" Ye Chuan showed no weakness.

At this, Jia Zhang was furious and screamed: "Ye Chuan, what do you mean? Even if I'm old, you can't force me to work, right? Are you still a human being?" She was extremely annoyed.

Hearing these sarcasms, the neighbors were not very happy. Jia Zhang was used to being idle at home, and everyone had seen her doing nothing.

Now she said that she didn't do odd jobs, which was simply nonsense. "Is Aunt Jia's family short of money? She can still do some work at home! Which of Aunt Wang's family doesn't have a side job?" Ye Chuan reminded everyone of her nature.

This sarcasm left Jia Zhang speechless. Her face turned red and she was unable to refute.

Even Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard this. Before, Jia Dongxu's foot was fine, and his parents-in-law didn't help with farm work to make a living.

Ye Chuan's words hit the nail on the head.

Then, Ye Chuan pointed out sharply, "Jia Dongxu has worked for many years, how could his family not have savings? The factory paid compensation for his injury, where did the money go? His family is obviously in financial difficulty, why didn't you take out money to help them out when the time came, but instead asked your neighbors for help?" These words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Yi Zhonghai's heart, leaving him unable to refute.

Regarding Jia Zhang's behavior of holding on to her savings and insisting on claiming that they were her pension, Ye Chuan asked, "The family is starving, but she still refuses to give it to the family, so why should we donate it to you?"

When the question "why" was mentioned, everyone around got angry and started to criticize. "You don't even want to take your own money, but you want us to pay for it. Do you have any shame?" Everyone asked. "That's too much. I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing!" "That's right. Why didn't I think about it that way at the time?"

"You obviously have the money, but you still want us to help you pay for it. You really only think about yourself!" Amid the public outrage, Yi Zhonghai's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he rolled his eyes fiercely at Jia Zhang - this teammate who made things worse!

Seeing that everyone's emotions were about to get out of control, he quickly knocked on the table and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet! Ye Chuan, what do you mean? Not only are you not cooperating with the street office, you are also undermining people's hearts!"

"I'm just telling the truth. Am I afraid that you'll tell the truth? How much do you get paid a month as a teacher?"

Although Yan Bugui didn't understand why Ye Chuan suddenly asked about his family's situation, he still answered honestly: "My current monthly salary is thirty taels of silver. Next year, I will be promoted to an eighth-level lecturer, and then it will increase to thirty-seven taels."

"How much savings do you have?"

"I don't have any savings. It's always not enough at the end of the month. I have to budget carefully to make it to the end of the month."

Ye Chuan nodded slightly and turned to another person in the crowd: "Uncle Ma, where is your monthly salary?"

Ma Xieyan was stunned for a moment, but still responded frankly: "Our salary in the soap factory is very low, I only get 29 taels a month!"

Ye Chuan smiled, and then said to the crowd: "Uncle's salary is 32 taels a month, and he has to support a family of six; Uncle Ma in the backyard earns even less, only 29 taels a month, and he also has to support a family of six.

Neither of their families should have much savings, and I'm sure everyone knows the cost of food."

Everyone listened to his words quietly, but no one understood what he wanted to say.
