Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Liu Yue cleaned the table neatly, and then the whole family went out.

There were already many people waiting in the courtyard, and the faces gathered under the night sky.

The conference table moved in by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui indicated that this conference was obviously convened at short notice.

Yi Zhonghai looked gloomy and took a chair and sat down.

Qin Huairu had just returned from the hospital, with some tears still on her face.

After a few minutes, Liu Haiyang saw that most people were present, so he said, "I believe everyone has heard about what happened in the factory today. Jia Dongxu from our hospital was seriously injured in a work accident. As a neighbor, I feel extremely sad about this news.

Next, let's hear what the uncle has to say about his feelings."

However, Ye Zhonghai had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at Qin Huairou and Aunt Jia and sighed deeply: "Uncle has just told everyone the general situation. I will also visit Dongxu after get off work. The doctor said that the condition is very serious and may even require amputation!"

Upon hearing the news, Aunt Jia's face instantly turned gloomy. She pointed at Qin Huairou and scolded her as before: "Qin Huairou, you jinx, I told Dongxu not to marry this vixen a long time ago, but he refused to listen. As a result, he ended up in such a miserable state now!" After saying this, her eyes were filled with deep hatred.

After being accused like this, Qin Huairou covered her face and cried quietly like a wronged child, which made Sha Zhu, who was infatuated with her, feel very distressed.

Sha Zhu retorted: "Aunt Jia, how can you say that? What does Brother Dongxu's injury have to do with Sister Qin?"

Aunt Jia's eyes were sharp, and she glared back at Sha Zhu fiercely, "Sha Zhu, I'm talking about my own daughter-in-law, what's it got to do with you? Qin Huairou, you really have a foxy heart. Dongxu hasn't passed away yet, and you're hooking up with this idiot?"

Qin Huairou burst into tears: "Mom, how can you say that? Zhuzi and I are really innocent, we have never done those things!"

"You're still denying it! You called me so intimately and said it was okay! You're so shameless! How could the Jia family marry you as a daughter-in-law?" Aunt Jia asked mercilessly, while Sha Zhu stood aside silently, gazing at Qin Huairou with a distressed look.

Faced with this situation, Ye Zhonghai frowned and interrupted the quarrel: "Okay! Dongxu's injury happened at his workplace. What does it have to do with Huairou? Now that something has happened, we should find a way to solve it instead of cursing each other!" These harsh words forced Aunt Jia to calm down temporarily.

Yan Bugui quickly adjusted his glasses and interrupted, "Ms. Jia Zhang, please stop talking about these feudal nonsense. They are all outdated ideas!"

After hearing this, Aunt Jia was filled with resentment again: "Teacher Yan, do you think you can suppress me like this? My son has become like this, and I have no right to express myself?"

Ye Zhonghai waved his hand to signal An Jing: "Dongxu's incident happened in the factory, and the factory has also sent people to the hospital.

They will study the final solution.

Jia Dongxu is also a member of our courtyard. Our courtyard has always prided itself on being a harmonious neighborhood. When something like this happens to our neighbors, we should show our concern.”

Looking at everything, a smug smile appeared on Ye Chuan's lips. The facts were just as he had guessed.

People around have not yet fully understood the meaning of "humanistic care" and how to do it, but Yan Bugui, a teacher, was the first to comprehend it. He, who has always been thrifty, now frowned and thought deeply.

In fact, Ye Zhonghai obviously meant to consider donating part of the money to the Jia family to help them tide over the difficulties. He himself is very good at managing his household frugally, so where would he get the extra money to give?

Faced with this dilemma, Ye Zhonghai also felt embarrassed: Dongxu was not only his apprentice, but also one of his options for retirement.

So he spoke again:

"Everyone knows Dongxu's income situation. He supports his entire family. Now he is injured and at home. What will happen to his widowed mother and orphans?"

Aunt Jia cried out in grief, "My son, how can we live? The whole family depends on your salary. My son Banggen is not even an adult yet, and my daughter-in-law is pregnant!"

Ye Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "We have lived together for many years and are like family. There is an old saying in the world that goes, 'True love in the world.'

Although relatives and friends are not as close as neighbors, as neighbors, we should lend a helping hand and aid the Jia family at this moment."

Xu Damao fell behind impatiently and said: "Grandpa, stop talking about useless things. How can we help?" Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Damao fiercely, and then continued: "Dongxu was injured in the factory. That was his effort in the construction of our motherland. Whether it is official or personal, we should help him." He spent a long time laying the groundwork before bringing the discussion back to the point.

"Dongxu has lost his ability to work. Neighbors who are wealthy can give some money, and those who are in financial difficulties can give less, to help the Jia family get through the difficult times so as not to disappoint our national construction workers." Everyone understood that they were asked to donate money!

All of a sudden, the neighbors realized what was going on, and Xu Damao's expression became sarcastic.

Yi Zhonghai noticed everyone's emotions and said, "I am the grandfather of the yard. I will give thirty yuan." As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion. For many people, thirty yuan was almost a considerable amount of money, equal to an ordinary worker's monthly salary.

Liu Dahai and Yan Bugui were horrified.

They are all managers. The grandfather donated 30 yuan, so how can they contribute more?

Although Liu Dahai is a level 6 worker with a decent income, he has three hungry sons to feed and his wife is unemployed, so their family depends on his salary. Similarly, Yan Bugui is an elementary school teacher, and the cost of raising four children is also a huge expense, so he has to budget carefully to make ends meet for his family of six.

The two of them were dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's approach: couldn't his own disciples just donate the money themselves? Why did he ask us to pay for it too?

This is basically what the neighbors think. Nowadays, everyone is struggling to make ends meet, so how can they spare the energy to consider helping others? Seeing that the scene was a bit dull, Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. He said to the management uncle next to him: "Second uncle, third uncle, as management employees, you should set an example!"

Forced to do so, Liu Dahai said, "I... have been the second grandfather for so long, I'll give two dollars!" Before he finished his words, Yan Bugui interrupted, "Me, fifty cents!" The people below couldn't help but burst into laughter, which undoubtedly embarrassed them.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and he looked at them with dissatisfaction.

At this time, Sha Zhu spoke.

"Grandpa, I'll give you ten dollars! Sister Qin is so unfortunate. She has so many children. Do you still have any compassion? Can you just watch her die without helping her?" Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai praised, "Good! Sha Zhu really understands the truth!"

Xu Damao muttered beside him: "Idiot!" Sha Zhu squeezed out of the crowd, which made the timid Xu Damao take a few steps back in panic.

"Xu Damao, do you deserve a beating? How much money did you prepare for Brother Dongxu today?" Sha Zhu hit him right in the sore spot.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu had never gotten along well since childhood, so he instinctively objected. But after seeing Sha Zhu's momentum, he had to compromise and said, "I'll only give one piece!"

"Only one dollar?" Sha Zhu shouted.

"Uncle San only donated 50 cents, so I should also have one dollar." Xu Damao counterattacked.

Seeing that there was a competitor, Yan Bugui said: "Xu Damao, can you compare with me in supporting six people at home? Your family is satisfied as long as you have enough food!" Liu Dahai followed up and said: "That's right, the salary is so high, you should give more!"

After these words, the atmosphere became even more tense.

The reactions of Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai and the neighbors all show their true colors. The lack of moral sense, the heavy family burden and the unequal distribution of money are all displayed in this scene through their actions and conversations.

Faced with this situation, Xu Damao immediately backed off. He was afraid that these people would have expectations of his generosity, so he reluctantly said, "I... I can donate two dollars!"

"No, the minimum must be five dollars!" Sha Zhu insisted uncompromisingly.

Even He Yushui began to feel unfair. She was confused and thought, this is not their family's business, why would her brother be so concerned and force her? Xu Damao has the right to decide how much money he wants to donate. How is this behavior different from blackmail?

"Oh... forget it." Xu Damao cursed Sha Zhu's entire clan in his heart, but when he saw the other party swinging his fist, his courage instantly disappeared.

Reluctantly, he said, “Okay, I’ll donate five dollars.”

For those neighbors whose family conditions are acceptable or who can still bear the financial burden, this scene is really embarrassing.

In fact, while Sha Zhu forced Xu Damao to donate money, he was undoubtedly forcing them to bear greater financial pressure.

The reason why Sha Zhu can act so arrogantly is that he works as a chef in a factory and is protected by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. In addition, he is strong in the community and often stirs up disputes because of a momentary quarrel. Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and the three Liu brothers have all suffered at his hands.

In order to support Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady also paid five dollars out of her own pocket. When the neighbors saw this respected elder donating money, they could only grit their teeth and contribute their own money.

Now it was the Ye family's turn. Ye Yongshun was ready to bite the bullet and follow suit to donate five dollars, but suddenly he felt Ye Chuan quietly pulling the corner of his clothes, so he shut up.

Ye Chuan had a mocking look on his face and stared at Yan Bugui in front of the table with contempt in his eyes.

"Uncle San, as the person in charge of the community, you only donated fifty cents. How do you have the nerve to stay here? You asked us to donate five dollars. Don't you feel shabby?" Ye Chuan asked coldly.

Sha Zhu originally thought that Ye Chuan would make a new move, but unexpectedly he questioned the small amount of Uncle San's donation. He put his hands in his pockets and muttered in agreement: "We should really donate more!"

Hearing Ye Chuan's words, Yan Bugui quickly retorted: "I have a large family and a heavy burden, Wumao has done the best I can.

On the other hand, the Ye family, shouldn't you be more generous? "

Liu Haizhong then said, "Ye Chuan, there are only three people in your family, and you are also working, so you should do your best this time."

However, Ye Chuan did not show weakness: "Second Uncle, you are a level six technician in the steel plant, and your salary is relatively high. Compared to the 30 yuan that uncle gave back, you should take the lead in donating more, how about at least 25 yuan?" He didn't care about what Liu Haizhong said.

Hearing this criticism, Xu Damao also echoed: "That's right, Second Uncle, twenty yuan; Third Uncle, fifteen yuan!"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's faces turned gloomy. What was the difference between such a request and asking for their lives? Yi Zhonghai was secretly surprised. Usually, during the general meeting, Ye Chuan always hid behind his parents. He seemed to be taciturn and had good academic performance, but he didn't disgust him so much.

So, he tried his best to calm the situation: “Everyone knows that the second uncle and the third uncle do have special circumstances.

Let’s think about ourselves first.

Putting aside other things, how about your family donating five dollars like other families?"

Faced with doubts, Ye Chuan sneered and spoke slowly: "Our family doesn't spend a penny!" His tone was firm and unwavering, like a bolt of lightning.

“You won’t donate even a penny!”

This statement shocked everyone present. Even Yan Bugui, who had planned everything, only donated fifty cents, but the Ye family was so determined.

The Ye family’s conditions were not good before, but after Ye Chuan got a job, the family’s income increased, and they became one of the few relatively wealthy households in the village.

Ye Yongshun and Liu Yue did not expect their son to be so stubborn in not donating money. They exchanged surprised glances with each other but said nothing.

Since the child has expressed his attitude, as a father, Ye Yongshun naturally stands on the child's side.

Even the old deaf woman who was pretending to be asleep opened her eyes and looked at Ye Chuan with strange eyes, as if she didn't know the person in front of her.

Xu Damao opened his mouth in astonishment, almost unable to believe his ears.

Anger began to emerge on Yi Zhonghai's face. He stared at Ye Yongshun and said, "Old Ye, your kid Ye Chuan didn't teach you much. How can a junior like him have the nerve to speak during a meeting?"

Ye Chuan squinted his eyes at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Big brother of the old family, what rules restrict me from representing my family?"

"Hey! Since you can represent your family, let me ask you, everyone in the hospital has donated money, why don't you donate one?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

Ye Chuan replied calmly, "Just because people in the hospital have donated money, it doesn't mean I have to follow suit, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned and speechless for a moment.

The neighbors around us also began to realize: Yes, why should we follow others to donate? Why?

The one nicknamed Shazhu put his hands in his pockets and acted indifferent. "Ye Chuan, you are an old friend of our hospital. Facing the misfortune of the Jia family, don't you plan to do something for your family? After all, everyone in the hospital has donated. How can you stay out of it?"

Ye Chuan crossed his arms and looked at Sha Zhu coldly: "Sha Zhu, you are just one of the few big bosses in charge. Why are you so active today? Are you showing off?"

Such direct conflict makes the relationship openly adversarial.

Ye Yongshun realized that the situation was not right and instinctively leaned close to Ye Chuan. He understood Sha Zhu's temper and knew that if he started talking instead of taking action, his son would definitely be bullied.

"Well, you hot-tempered guy, you want to yell at me too? Didn't the boss just say that, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' Your family is so close to the Jia family, you can't just not respond, right?" At this point, Sha Zhu's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty. His peers in the yard had all suffered. In the past, Ye Chuan was honest and was not beaten because... Of course, this was not a reason for him not to beat him.

Yi Zhonghai was originally planning to teach Ye Chuan a lesson, but looking at the scene in front of him, he chose to let Sha Zhu perform, thinking that this was an opportunity to educate Ye Chuan.

When the time comes, I'll just call for a timeout, scold Sha Zhu, and the matter will be over.

Although he was subjected to Sha Zhu's arrogance, he was able to vent his anger. As for whether the Ye family would donate money in the future, Sha Zhu was confident that the problem had been solved.

Now that he had the donation details, he could stand up straight in front of the office director and look great.

However, all of Yi Zhonghai's thoughts fell into his eyes. Ye Chuan sneered in his heart: He wants Sha Zhu to teach me a lesson? Dream on!

If it were the original owner, he might choose to remain silent, but now that Ye Chuan has drunk the gene-modifying agent and has a superhuman physique, he can take this opportunity to make Sha Zhu restrain his arrogant attitude.

So he responded sharply: "Silly Zhu, I have no objection to you asking for trouble to act like a hero in front of Qin Huairu, but don't involve the rest of us. I still say the same thing, I won't donate a penny!"

Sha Zhu's face flushed red, and he was extremely annoyed. He took a step forward and said, "Ye Chuan, you are slandering me! I did this to express my concern for Sister Qin. What does it have to do with you?"

Qin Huairu was so irritated by these unreasonable accusations that she couldn't speak. She just pointed at him and said, "You...you are talking nonsense!" Grandmother Jia also looked at Ye Chuan with embarrassment, warning him what would happen if he continued to act recklessly.

In fact, everyone knew Sha Zhu's true intention, but no one mentioned it because they were afraid of his power. Now that it was exposed by Ye Chuan, everyone couldn't help but sneer.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he almost burned with anger: "Ye Chuan, you are telling lies with your eyes open! Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye, I will teach this mouth a lesson for you!"

Ye Yongshun hurriedly stopped Sha Zhu and scolded him, "Sha Zhu, what are you doing? Why are you resorting to violence when words can't solve the problem?"

At this moment, even Liu Yue, who was usually calm and composed, became nervous. She remembered that Sha Zhu had a violent conflict with the people in the yard. Even a strong man like Xu Damao would be easily suppressed. For her gentle son... it would be difficult to resist this situation.

"Erzhu smiled and said, 'I have explained it clearly enough, but this kid just doesn't appreciate it and even slandered me and Sister Qin.

You say, should I teach him a lesson? '"

"Zhu'er, you can't do this!" Ye Yongshun ignored him and stood in front of him firmly.
