So Zhou Jin took over Yi Zhonghai's words and spoke directly.

"Since this meeting is to help the residents in the hospital who are in financial difficulty, then this list must be voted on and agreed upon by everyone in the hospital before it can count, and not be decided by the three of you uncles. What do you think?"

"No problem." Everyone answered in unison.

Zhou Jin continued, "Since everyone has no objection, I will tell you the list in my mind, and you can vote by raising your hands. I believe everyone is clear about the situation of each family in this courtyard.

My list goes to Grandpa Liu's family in the front yard, Sister Wang's family in the middle yard, and Grandma Zhao's family in the back yard. I think these three families are the most difficult in the compound right now. They have many people, few rations, and low incomes. You can all express your opinions now."

When everyone at the scene heard the families proposed by Zhou Jin, they thought for a while and then raised their hands to show their agreement.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhou Jin turned around and looked at the three uncles.

"Gentlemen, do you think these talismans meet the standards?"

The three uncles looked at each other and said they had no objection.

Seeing that the list of names was fighting, Zhou Jin spoke again.

“Since everyone has no objection to the assistance list, we will confirm these three families as the assistance targets for our courtyard.

Now that the target of assistance has been determined, I think there are some problems with the method of assistance proposed by the uncle..."

When everyone heard that there was a problem with the way to help, they all became interested and someone started asking.

“What’s wrong with donating money and food?”

"Yes, how can we help them if we don't donate money and food?"

Zhou Jin quickly raised his hands and pressed them down.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me. The so-called assistance before was nothing more than donations of money and food from the entire hospital. It cannot be said that this is bad, but it can only be said that it is not that good.

Everyone's life is not easy nowadays. It is good enough to be able to support one's family. If we always organize everyone to donate money and food to others, it will undoubtedly increase everyone's life pressure and cannot solve the problem in the long run. After all, it is impossible to organize a donation meeting every month.

So this is my plan. The ones with high income in our courtyard are the eldest uncle, the second uncle and me. The ones with relatively less pressure in life are the eldest uncle, me, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

There happen to be three families in difficulty. I plan to have the eldest uncle help one, I will be responsible for helping one, and the second uncle, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao will be responsible for helping one. We will continue to help until the quantitative recovery is achieved. What do you think?

This way, it will not have a big impact on our families, nor will it make other people bear the extra pressure, and at the same time it can ensure that these three families can get through this difficult period intact."

When everyone at the scene heard Zhou Jin's arrangement, they thought it was very reasonable. The problem was solved without them having to pay for it, so of course no one had any objections.

At this time, Liu Haizhong felt that there was no problem. His income was one of the highest in the courtyard, and everyone in his family had a fixed amount. Moreover, he was with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, so the pressure on him was much less than that on Yi Zhonghai and Zhou Jin.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao had similar ideas. Although they had some complaints about Zhou Jin bringing them up, they knew that their life pressures were relatively low in the entire courtyard, so they had no way of objecting.

Yan Bugui listened to Zhou Jin's idea and thought it was very reasonable. After all, if he kept donating money, everyone would have opinions after a long time. It would be disastrous if he was reported again like last time. Besides, Zhou Jin did not bring himself up, so he just had to live his own life.

The only ones who had objections in the audience were probably Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai has been accustomed to spending other people's money to do his own things and then build his own reputation, but now he has to spend his own money to support a family that has no use to him at all, and all the reputation belongs to Zhou Jin.

This was a little hard for Yi Zhonghai to accept. The most important thing was that this time the Jia family's affairs were not accomplished, and he would have to spend money to appease the Jia family later. When he calculated everything, Yi Zhonghai had already lost a lot.

The Jia family was simply worried that the donation they had agreed to make was gone, and the key was that they could not jump out to oppose it now, otherwise they would become enemies of everyone in the hospital.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhou Jin continued.

“Since everyone has no objection to what I said before, let’s divide the households we are responsible for and then determine the monthly subsidy standards. We can’t have different standards for the three households, otherwise there will probably be trouble again.

The eldest uncle lives in the middle courtyard, so he is responsible for Sister Wang's house in the middle courtyard. The second uncle and Xu Damao live in the back yard. Sha Zhu lives in the middle courtyard, so he is responsible for Grandma Zhao's house in the back yard. I am young, so I am responsible for Grandpa Liu's house in the front yard.

Each of these three families has about four or five people, so we can buy thirty kilograms of corn flour and add five yuan. What do you think? As for you, Uncle Two, we can negotiate privately.

We deliver the food and money within a week after the monthly salary is paid, so that everyone has enough time to purchase food so that they don’t run out of food when the time comes.

And tomorrow, Uncle San will write three certificates about this matter, with everything written down in black and white. Then we will sign them and report them to the street office, so that we don’t have to argue with each other when problems arise.”

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, everyone started discussing again.

"We think it's no problem. Even though it's only 30 kilograms of corn flour, plus their own rations, they can definitely survive. After all, even if you give money now, you may not be able to buy food."

"Indeed, Zhou Jin is worthy of being a cadre. His brain is more flexible than ours. He solved this big problem easily."

"Indeed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live well if we had to donate every month."

Yi Zhonghai listened to everyone's discussions and knew that the matter was irreversible, so he could only accept it. After all, no matter how well he concealed his family's conditions, it would all be exposed as long as everyone thought about it carefully.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, he didn't want to stay here any longer and look at Zhou Jin's annoying face, so he stood up, picked up the enamel cup and spoke to everyone.

"Now that everything has been resolved, we will follow Zhou Jin's method from now on. It's getting late, so let's adjourn the meeting and go home and rest early."

When everyone heard Yi Zhonghai say that the meeting was adjourned, they took their stools and went home.

The two comrades from the street office watched the entire process but did not say a word. They left directly after the meeting was over.

Zhou Jin also walked up to Zhou Xin and was about to pick up the stool to go home. At this time, the three families of Zhao, Liu and Wang came over one after another to express their gratitude to Zhou Jin.

If Zhou Jin hadn't stood up to speak for their families today, they really wouldn't know how to survive this food crisis. They are not as shameless as the Jia family.

Zhou Jin also comforted and calmed the families. Then, under Zhou Xin's admiring eyes, he took Zhou Xin's hand and went home.

This time, Zhou Jin not only solved the food problem of several households in the courtyard who were in difficulty, and enhanced his own prestige in the courtyard, but also directly tricked Yi Zhonghai, causing this old guy to think about moral kidnapping all day long, and thinking about using other people's money to build his own reputation.

Moreover, the Jia family did not achieve their goal today. By then, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family will definitely have a good show. It is estimated that Yi Zhonghai will have to bleed heavily to settle this matter.

But Zhou Jin is not worried about this now. They are not good people anyway. He has been busy all day. He and Zhou Xin went home and washed up and went to bed.

As soon as Yan Bugui returned home, he called all the family members together for a small meeting. When everyone was present, he began to speak.

"You all watched today's meeting, right? Zhou Jin is really amazing. He broke the plan that the three of us had planned with just a few words. Not only did the Jia family's goal fail, but Yi Zhonghai also bleed a lot.

You have to know that Yi Zhonghai said nice things, but he always used the interests of the people in the compound to deal with his own affairs and those of the Jia family. Today he was forced to be in charge of the food behind the Wang family in the central courtyard. The key point is that this good reputation was taken away by Zhou Jin. I'm afraid he hates Zhou Jin to the core.

I estimated that the Jia family and the Yi Zhonghai family would definitely clash again either tonight or tomorrow at the latest. However, Zhou Jin was reasonable and got me out of the way. Otherwise, given my position as the third uncle, he would have to pay a heavy price no matter how difficult the family was.

Therefore, our family will be more friendly to Zhou Jin's family in the future, not only because of his cadre status, but also because of his performance today. He is a very wise man, and he is in the purchasing department. Now that the food shortage is so serious, he will definitely find a way to get food."

"Dad, we get it."

Several children answered.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yan Bugui told everyone to go to bed.

The Yi family in the Central Courtyard has been in a state of gritting their teeth since Yi Zhonghai returned home. Although Aunt Yi did not go to the meeting, her home is in the Central Courtyard, and she can hear what is happening outside even if she stays in the house.

However, seeing Yi Zhonghai like this, Auntie didn't know what to say. After all, in Auntie's opinion, Zhou Jin did the right thing, and only in this way could the problems of the needy residents in the courtyard be perfectly solved.

Moreover, she also couldn't stand those people in the Jia family. If she didn't think about the guilt she felt for not giving Yi Zhonghai a child, and Yi Zhonghai believed that Jia Dongxu would take care of him in his old age, she would not be willing to help the Jia family so much.

However, Yi Zhonghai became more and more angry the more he thought about it. This plan took him a long time to come up with, and for this, he even dragged the Liu and Zhao families into the fight to accompany the Jia family.

The idea was that by doing this, not only could the Jia family's financial difficulties be solved and he wouldn't have to spend too much money, but he could also shut up other people in the hospital and make them pay willingly.

As a result, everything was ruined because of Zhou Jin. If he had known earlier, he would not have forced him to donate money on the spot. Yi Zhonghai believed that with Zhou Jin's character, if he was not forced, he would definitely not bother to get involved in the affairs of the hospital.

However, Yi Zhonghai was really overthinking this time. If it were in the past, as long as Zhou Jin was not provoked, he would definitely not interfere in the affairs of the Siheyuan. After all, in Zhou Jin's view, there were few good people in this Siheyuan. Wouldn't it be better to watch them fight each other?

But this time it was different. Zhou Jin knew that many people could not survive due to the food disaster in the past three years. The three families he mentioned were considered to be unknown in the courtyard. The adults were upright and had positive outlooks, and the children were well educated, otherwise they would not have lived such a difficult life.

Zhou Jin had the idea of ​​helping out a long time ago, but he just couldn't find the opportunity. It just so happened that Yi Zhonghai convened this whole institute meeting, so Zhou Jin took action directly.

Yi Zhonghai had long known that Zhou Jin was not someone who could be trifled with. He had served in the army and had made contributions, and he was well-educated and a cadre. However, he had not expected that he had been lying dormant for so long, yet he was still so vulnerable in front of him.

Not only did he have to spend money and food to help the Wang family, who were of no use to him, but the deadline was uncertain. Although he had the highest income in the hospital, he was an old couple with no children, so he had to make plans for his retirement in everything, and not a penny could be wasted.

Now, not only has he failed to accomplish his apprentice's task, but he has also suffered heavy losses. The key point is that all the reputation belongs to Zhou Jin. Yi Zhonghai feels a headache when he thinks of the Jia family.

Because he knew that Jia Dongxu was definitely not lying, and he should have spent the few hundred dollars. But what could he do? Could he really watch his elderly parents starve to death?

I will have to bleed myself to comfort myself when the time comes. I should have discussed it with the old lady earlier. If the old lady could give me advice, I may not achieve all my goals, but at least I won't be so passive.

Compared to Yi Zhonghai's lonely sadness, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu's number one bootlicker, threw the enamel cup to the ground as soon as he got home, and then cursed Zhou Jin loudly.

He mainly scolded Zhou Jin for having no sympathy. His sister Qin's family was already in such a difficult situation, but Zhou Jin still came out to make trouble and deprived the Jia family of their qualifications. As for the reason, he didn't care.

At this time, someone will definitely ask, this Sha Zhu defends Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai so much, why didn't he stand out against Zhou Jin during the meeting just now, or disrupt the meeting discipline by force like before.

I have to explain to everyone here, although Sha Zhu is called Sha Zhu, he is not stupid, otherwise in the original drama, how could he get rid of Xu Damao's position as deputy director with just a few words and still get himself reinstated.
