Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

While they were busy collecting donations, Xu Damao and Cao Wei were chatting.

"Look at that idiot Zhu. He donated so much money. He must be trying to get credit from Qin Huairu. But Qin Huairu doesn't even want to pay attention to him."

Xu Damao said with disdain.

Cao Wei smiled without saying anything, then he turned around and saw Yi Zhonghai's malicious gaze.

Cao Wei knocked on Xu Damao next to him and signaled him to Yi Zhonghai.

"The uncle is preparing for us to donate money."

Xu Damao's eyes rolled around and he turned to look at Cao Wei beside him.

"Cao Wei, how much money do you want to donate?"

Xu Damao was not short of money. After all, he worked as a projectionist and had a lot of benefits. Moreover, according to what Cao Wei knew, Xu Damao also took away some of Lou Xiao'e's dowry, which contained quite a lot of gold.

Cao Wei smiled and asked, "How much do you want to donate?"

"Look at how proud Jia Zhang is. I don't want to give them the money to spend."

Xu Damao glanced at Jia Zhangshi, who now had a broad smile on her face, and was happier than usual.

Her son is still in the hospital, even in the intensive care unit, but she can be so happy.

Cao Wei nodded in agreement. Jia Dongxu didn't need any money from them anyway. With Yi Zhonghai helping their family and Sha Zhu bringing them meals, he didn't need anything.

Oh, that’s not right. Now Shazhu can’t bring his own lunch.

"But we must donate something. Everyone in the hospital has donated, and it would be inappropriate for us not to donate." Cao Wei said with a smile.

Sure enough, after looking at them for a while, Yi Zhonghai began to call out their names.

Because Jia Dongxu and Cao Wei were the only ones in the hospital who did not donate.

"Xu Damao, Cao Wei, how much are you two going to donate?"

"You two are not short of money, right? One is a projectionist, and the other has just been promoted to a fourth-level fitter. You are not in any difficulty either. You should be able to donate more, right?"

"Yes, let Xu Damao donate more. He often goes to the countryside to show movies, but he collects a lot of gifts. Last time he showed a movie, I saw him bring back two chickens."

Speaking of Xu Damao, Sha Zhu became excited. He was just worried that he would have no chance to cause trouble for Xu Damao, and now it's here.

Let Xu Damao take out more money so that he can feel a little sorry for it, and then he can show off to Sister Qin later.

"Silly Zhu, please don't talk nonsense. I won't accept anything from others. They forced it on me, so I have to accept it. Besides, I didn't take it for nothing. I paid them."

Xu Damao quickly explained.

He didn't want to be accused of accepting money from others. After all, this was a work style issue. If he was discovered, he would be criticized.

"Besides, I'm not like you. You were not allowed to bring food, but you insisted on bringing it. Now that you've been fined 300 yuan, you should behave yourself. Let's see if you will bring food again in the future. Some people have problems with their own conduct, and they also frame others. Sigh."

Xu Damao was poking at Sha Zhu's sore spot. It was he who reported Sha Zhu about this matter.

Sha Zhu was hit in the sore spot and immediately became angry.

"Sun thief, you dare not admit it, right?"

"Anyway, I didn't get fined 300 yuan for stealing public property," Xu Damao said proudly.

"Alright, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. Now let's talk about donations. Xu Damao, how much will you and Cao Wei donate?"

After Yi Zhonghai spoke, Sha Zhu also became obedient. He said that the donation matter was more important and he would deal with Xu Damao later.

"Uncle, you don't know, I'm really in a bit of a difficult situation. Something happened to my family some time ago and it cost a lot of money, so I'll just donate five dollars."

"What happened in your family? How come I don't know?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a frown.

Xu Damao didn't do anything during this period, and was once told by Sha Zhu that his family was extinct and he had no need to spend money.

"You don't know, it's my dad. He went up the mountain some time ago and injured his leg. It cost a lot of money to treat him." Xu Damao sighed.

"How come we don't know about this?"

"Yeah, Xu Damao, you don't want to donate, so you made up this excuse on purpose." Sha Zhu said from the side.

"My dad has been in the countryside. He was hospitalized a while ago. After he was discharged, he went straight back to the countryside. I didn't tell you because I was afraid of disturbing you."

Xu Damao pretended to be very serious, as if his father really had injured his leg.

Cao Wei could hardly hold back his smile. Xu Damao actually made up such an excuse not to donate money. He was really filial. I wonder if his father would praise him when he knew it.

Yi Zhonghai was half-believing and half-doubting, but he took the five dollars from Xu Damao and said, "It's okay, it's not a small amount."

Then he turned his gaze to Cao Wei.

"Cao Wei, how much are you going to donate? You haven't had any difficulties recently, have you?"

Cao Wei smiled and said, "Uncle, you're right, I don't have any difficulties, so I was just about to donate ten cents."

Sha Zhu couldn't sit still anymore. This Cao Wei kid was not honest. He donated twenty out of his thirty-seven and fifty dollars a month.

So he raised his own doubts.

Yi Zhonghai was about to speak when Sha Zhu spoke first.

"You are a level 4 fitter, earning over 50 yuan a month, and you donate so little, only 1 cent?"

"Hey, wasn't I just a second-level fitter before? My fourth-level fitter starts from today. I only made about 30 yuan last month. I was still growing up. I also spent lavishly on food. I spent more than 20 yuan on food alone. I didn't save much money."

Cao Wei shook his head and sighed.

"By the way, I borrowed a hundred dollars from the old man some time ago. I still have such a large debt. I am also poor. But the old man is right. The Jia family is in such a difficult situation. We should really help the Jia family, so I will also donate five dollars."

Cao Wei was full of righteousness, and the five yuan he said was more generous than Yi Zhonghai's fifty.

Yi Zhonghai's face looked a little ugly.

After lending Cao Wei a hundred yuan last time, he felt so distressed that he had forgotten about it for a while, but now Cao Wei brought it up again.

"An uncle will lend you a hundred dollars?"

Shazhu was confused. How come he didn't know about such a big thing?

No one in the courtyard knew that Cao Wei had borrowed money from Yi Zhonghai.

Only Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were present that day. Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai told the aunt about it, and no one else knew about it.

After all, wealth should not be shown to the public, and Yi Zhonghai didn’t eat very well in the courtyard, so except when they were extremely urgent, few people came to him to borrow money.

Now, after Cao Wei said this, everyone knows that he is rich and will come to him to borrow money in the future.

"Yes, the old man is really generous. Last time my house was leaking and I wanted to repair it, but I didn't have much money, so I borrowed a hundred yuan from the old man. It's really thanks to the old man's hundred yuan, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford a meal this month."

Cao Wei pretended to be a little scared.

It's not that he can't afford to eat. He can't even finish the food that the system signs in every day, and he has no money to spend.

Of course, you can't say that outside.
