Five days passed like this, and both Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai tasted the sweetness of begging.

However, apart from the middle-aged man who gave two dollars at the beginning, the most given afterwards was fifty cents, and most of the others were five cents or ten cents.

Sometimes she could get corn flour and steamed buns. Anyway, Jia Zhang felt that this was the real life now. She didn't have to do anything every day. She just showed her paralyzed posture to passers-by, and people would give her food, drinks and money.

"Old Yi, guess how much money we made in the past five days?"

"Not counting food, I remember it was 16 yuan plus five and a half kilograms of food coupons."

Jia Zhang felt depressed. She had originally remembered that Yi Zhonghai did not count the money and she had saved some of it. She did not expect that Yi Zhonghai remembered it so clearly.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang's behavior and guessed what she was planning, but the two of them couldn't separate for the time being because sometimes he still needed Jia Zhang's help in paddling the bike for him.

He is waiting now. When his arms regain some strength, he will suggest that they beg for food separately. Then, whatever money they make will be his.

At this moment, Jia Zhang was still immersed in the joy brought by the money, because in just five days, she actually earned almost a month's salary of a normal job.

She even felt a little regretful now. If she had known that begging could make so much money, she would never have made matchboxes!

As for Qin Huairu who was standing next to her, she was also somewhat caught off guard. She had never dreamed that begging could be so profitable, especially since the family had hardly spent much food in the past two days, and most of the food they ate was what Jia Zhang and the others had brought back.

Even yesterday, everyone was given a large white flour bun, and Qin Huairu even wanted to quit her job and go begging.

"Old Yi, how do we divide this money?"

When Jia Zhang suddenly asked this question, the room immediately became quiet.

"What's wrong? I just want to ask first. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. We can't just leave this issue alone!"

Yi Zhonghai said seriously: "Each of us should take half. After all, it was the two of us who asked for it."

It's okay for Jia Zhang to think about it. Anyway, she doesn't have to do anything, and half of the profit is good."

But Qin Huairu was not happy in her heart. Why didn't she get any share of the money? But she didn't dare to say anything in front of Jia Zhang.

And now it was almost time to go to work, so Qin Huairu picked up the cloth bag with a gloomy face and left the house.

"What happened to her?"

"I didn't give her any money." Yi Zhonghai said indifferently.

But Jia Zhang was furious when she heard this. "Hey, this money has nothing to do with her. If she wants to make this money, she can go to the street to get it herself."

At this time, Xiaodang suddenly asked: "Grandma, are you going to be beggars?"

"You stupid girl, why are you talking so harshly?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly took over the conversation and explained: "Good boy, we are not going to beg for food, we are going to find a new job."

"Oh, that's good. I don't want to be called a beggar."

Jia Zhang's defense was instantly broken. "You stupid girl, you picked a money-losing piece of shit, is it because the steamed buns I ate today are too hard on your teeth?"

Xiaodang was startled and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly took out a dime and handed it to Xiaodang.

"Take it, and take your sister to buy some candy later."

Xiaodang then took the dime and left the house with Huaihua, while Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang took advantage of the fact that no one was around and pulled the cart and equipment out of the courtyard.

However, the two men didn't know that the fact that they went out to beg for food had been reported to the street. As the new street director, how could Wang Deqin allow such a thing to happen?

So she immediately took two people to ambush at the entrance of the alley of No. 95 Courtyard, and as soon as Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi left, she and her men followed them.

"Director Wang, why don't we catch them now?"

"No, if we don't catch her in the act, Jia Zhang will definitely not admit it."

The three of them followed Yi Zhonghai and the others carefully. When they arrived at the place, after Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang had made their preparations, Wang Deqin led his men over leisurely.

"Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, you really bring shame to our street!"

When Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang saw that the person coming was Wang Deqin, their hearts sank. Wang Deqin didn't waste any words and directly asked two staff members to pull a cart to take the two people back to the street.

"Xiao Zhao, go to the steel mill and report this immediately. I want to see why the Jia family, who obviously has no shortage of money, would do something that would bring shame to the neighborhood."

Xiao Zhao left in response, and Yi Zhonghai hurriedly explained: "Director, you must have misunderstood. She and I just went out for a walk. We really didn't go begging."

Wang Deqin slammed the table. "Shut up, do you think we would make things up?"

"If there wasn't irrefutable evidence, why would we waste this time?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a while, while Jia Zhang beside him sat there trembling with fear and said nothing.

At this moment, a street official came in with a notebook to report on his work.

"Director, He Yuzhu from Yard 95 has sent another batch of supplies to the Street Welfare Station. There are 150 eggs, kilograms of pork offal, and some cabbage, radishes, and potatoes."

Wang Deqin held the material list and sighed: "The gap between people is really huge. If everyone is as kind-hearted as He Yuzhu, wouldn't our work in the street be much easier?"

"That's right. He Yuzhu has been helping these people for more than three years. Sometimes he even cooks for them himself."

But Wang Deqin's eyes lit up at this time.

"He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai are from the same courtyard, why can't he help Yi Zhonghai directly?"

The clerk looked at Wang Deqin in bewilderment, wondering if she didn't know that Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu had a grudge against each other. But Wang Deqin was the leader after all, and it was difficult for him to refute what she had said.

Wang Deqin said to herself: "This kind of good deed is not limited to the welfare station. Wouldn't it be more convenient to help those in need nearby?"

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang quickly nodded and agreed.

Yi Zhonghai said cautiously: "Yes, yes, we are all from the same courtyard. Even if we get some leftovers, it will be enough for us to eat."

"Yes, Director Wang, this Shazhu, oh not He Yuzhu, he is still the canteen director, it is too easy to get two lunch boxes."

Wang Deqin said excitedly: "I think this is a good idea. Besides, the welfare station has quotas. We can use the excess supplies to help others."

But as soon as she said this, Xiao Li next to her couldn't help but remind her: "But He Yuzhu said at the beginning that he helped those people because their family members were LS."

"If the street misappropriates supplies at will, he will never provide supplies again in the future!"

But Wang Deqin waved his hand dismissively. "That's because you didn't communicate well."

"How about this, I'll go find him after get off work. I believe that with Comrade He Yuzhu's awareness, he will definitely not reject our proposal."

Yi Zhonghai had never expected this unexpected surprise. If He Yuzhu could support them again, they would be able to provide for their retirement in the future over time!

The key point is that Director Wang has already spoken, does He Yuzhu dare not give him this face?
