Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale, and he stared at Xu Damao with red eyes, "Xu Damao, what did you say? Say it again if you can..."

Xu Damao said with a smile: "Uncle, I was just joking, why are you so excited? Could it be that you really have something going on with Qin Huairu?"

Qin Huairu's eyes were wide open, and she looked at Xu Damao with anger on her face, "Xu Damao, you are talking nonsense. The uncle is my master, so what's wrong with me saying a few words to defend him?"

Xu Damao sneered, "The first aunt is still here. There is a first aunt to protect the first uncle. Do you really need to step in and take over? Do you want to replace the first aunt?"

Qin Huairu looked at everyone's teasing eyes and said hysterically: "Xu Damao, you little man, stop talking nonsense and stirring up trouble here. Auntie is not good at speaking, is there anything wrong with me defending Uncle on behalf of Auntie?"

Auntie: “…” I was replaced just like that?

Lou Xiao'e glared at Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, you fickle bitch, who are you calling a villain?"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Lou Xiao'e, you are a bitch, your whole family is a bitch!"

"Snapped!"

Seeing that the quarrel between the Xu and Jia families was getting more and more fierce, and they were about to fight, Liu Haizhong slammed the table angrily and shouted:

"Shut up, everyone. We are not interested in hearing about your gossip. Yi Zhonghai, if you have something to say, please speak up. We are all tired after a day's work and don't have time to listen to your nonsense..."

It was not Liu Haizhong's intention to speak out to stop the situation from escalating. Under normal circumstances, would he have hoped that Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu would fight each other?

But it is not possible now, because he is now the acting second uncle and is still in the probation period. If there are fights in the compound every other day, his position as the second uncle will be lost.

After listening to Liu Haizhong's speech, everyone was a little dissatisfied. "Who said we don't like to hear gossip? We like to hear gossip the most, okay? Especially the gossip about the master and apprentice Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu."

But because of the majesty of his bangs, everyone did not express their dissatisfaction even if they were dissatisfied.

Nothing has happened to Liu Haizhong recently, and his prestige has not been affected at all. On the contrary, it is getting stronger and stronger.

After all, Liu Haizhong has the skills and connections, and he has been promoted to team leader. He also has a close relationship with the workshop supervisor. It is only a matter of time before he is promoted to squad leader, so there is no need to offend him.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Liu Haizhong shut everyone up with just one sentence, he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"This Liu Da Naotou's prestige in the compound has surpassed his. If he continues to develop like this, his position as the eldest uncle will soon be lost."

"By the way, why didn't Yan Bugui implement the plan to throw dirty water on Liu Haizhong that I discussed with him last night? I must ask him about it after the meeting!"

Yi Zhonghai regained his composure, adjusted his mindset, cleared his throat, and spoke word by word:

"I'm sorry to tell you all some unfortunate news. Bang Geng was beaten up on the way to school today and was hospitalized. His injuries are very serious. The doctor said it will take at least three or four months to fully recover. The medical expenses will be a huge sum."

"Everyone knows the situation of Qin Huairu's family. She has to support three children and a mother-in-law with her salary alone. She simply can't afford so much money."

"When one side is in trouble, all sides come to its aid; when one person is in trouble, ten thousand people come to his aid. Our compound is an advanced compound, a civilized compound, and a united compound. I hope that those who have money can contribute money, those who have strength can contribute strength, and those who have strength can contribute their love to help Qin Huairu overcome the current difficulties."

"What? You want to donate to the Jia family again? How many times have you donated to the Jia family?"

"What do you mean by 'how many times'? This is at least a dozen times. Over the past few years, we have to donate to the Qin family every two or three months on average. If this continues, who can bear it?"

"Yes, it's not easy for any family these days. We have to donate money every now and then. How can we survive?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the people below started talking. They welcomed being asked to take advantage of others, but naturally they would resist being asked to pay out of their own pockets.

Yi Zhonghai has long been accustomed to everyone's resistance. It was the same with every donation in the past. As long as he took the lead in donating and then used the momentum to pressure others, everyone would donate obediently.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. As the eldest uncle in the compound, I will take the lead in expressing my attitude. I am prepared to donate 30 yuan to help the Jia family overcome the difficulties."

"Snapped!"

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he took out three big unity notes and slapped them on the table, looking selfless and selfless.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong provocatively. He knew that Liu Haizhong had always been dissatisfied with him and didn't want to lag behind him in anything. Since he had donated 30 yuan, Yi Zhonghai would definitely donate 30 yuan as well.

The first uncle and the second uncle each donated 30 yuan. As the newly appointed third uncle, Lu Tiezhu should also donate 20 yuan in order to establish his own prestige, right?

Thirty plus thirty plus twenty equals eighty yuan.

The three old men each donated 80 yuan, and the other 20 or so households donated a total of 80 yuan. Is that not too much?

Eighty plus eighty is one hundred and sixty, so he doesn't need to put in much money.

This not only saved the Jia family, but also gained fame, which was a double blessing.

Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny. A word from Liu Haizhong shattered all of Yi Zhonghai's fantasies.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile, "Yi Zhonghai, can you tell me why Bang Geng was sent to the hospital?"

"Could it be that Liu Haizhong knows something?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face froze, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he stammered, "Is this... is this important?"

Liu Haizhong said coldly: "Of course this is important. If Banggeng was beaten up and sent to the hospital because of stealing, robbery, etc., do we have to pay for his medical expenses?"

Qin Huairu hurriedly defended herself, "Second uncle, you can't say that. My son Banggeng is an honest child and would never do anything illegal."

Liu Haizhong sneered, "Qin Huairu, do you believe what you said?"

"Who stole the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"

“Who stole the soy sauce from the steel mill kitchen?”

"Who is it that often goes to Zhuzi's house to rummage through boxes and cabinets?"

"This this…"

Qin Huairu was so annoyed by Liu Haizhong that she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "Old Liu, children are mentally retarded and lively, so it is inevitable that they make mistakes. We should be more tolerant and caring instead of being petty and holding on to his past mistakes!"

"Besides, even adults make mistakes sometimes, let alone a child."

"The ancients knew that it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. How come you, a modern person under the red flag, still don't understand this?"

"Old Liu, your ideological awareness needs to be improved!"
