Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 85 Qin Huairu was hated by Jia Zhangshi
When the old man saw Xu Damao return and sit down next to Lou Xiao'e, he coughed.

Then the old man addressed all the residents of the courtyard.

"We're having this meeting today!"

"It's because of the Jia family."

"As everyone knows, Jia Dongxu has passed away."

"Leaving behind Qin Huairu, a widow and her orphan."

"Qin Huairu is currently pregnant and cannot work."

"Therefore, the Jia family is facing difficulties in life, and we, as neighbors in the courtyard, are also facing difficulties."

"We should unite together to help the Jia family get through this difficult time."

"I wonder what everyone's opinion is on my suggestion?"

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the residents in front of him.

At this point, everyone started discussing it.

Only then did Li Feng realize that Yi Zhonghai had gathered everyone in the courtyard because of this matter.

Logically speaking

This matter has nothing to do with me.

Does that mean only the Jia family is in trouble, while everyone else is?
However, Li Feng now knows that since the old man has convened this meeting, the matter has basically been decided.

After all, the old man was an eighth-grade fitter at the steel rolling mill.

The prestige of an eighth-grade fitter is quite high.

Most importantly, the people in this compound are mostly employees of the steel rolling mill.

Therefore, people rarely disobey what Yi Zhonghai says.

Even someone as reckless as Sha Zhu obediently listens to Yi Zhonghai, doesn't he?
Therefore, Li Feng decided to wait and see.

Upon hearing what the old man said, Xu Damao frowned.

After all, I had already given ten yuan as a condolence gift a couple of days ago.

What's going on now?

Do I have to pay again?

Even though I can earn money myself, I can't afford to give it all away like this.

Not only Xu Damao, but even Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were somewhat dissatisfied with the old man's actions.

Despite her dissatisfaction, she still had to support Yi Zhonghai's opinion for the time being. It wouldn't be good if Director Wang accused her of not supporting Yi Zhonghai's work and removed her from her position as the person in charge.

Therefore, for the time being, they can only support Yi Zhonghai.

If you're going to donate money, then donate some money.

It's better than the manager being removed from his position.

Moreover, I can't stand up and be the bad guy.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but speak to the people in the courtyard.

"I personally agree with the suggestion made by that old man."

"After all, as everyone knows, the Jia family is currently facing very difficult circumstances."

"Qin Huairu is pregnant and has two children to take care of."

"So Qin Huairu can't work now either."

"So I suggest that everyone should donate some money."

The third uncle remained silent at this point.

After all, he was the one least willing to donate money, but as the third oldest man in the compound, he wouldn't say anything against it, so he could only remain silent.

After the second uncle finished speaking, Jia Zhangshi began to talk about the misfortunes in her family.

Holding Xiao Dang, Qin Huairu began to wipe away her tears.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was crying with tears streaming down her face.

It evokes pity.

However, most people in the courtyard were talking about this matter at the time.

At this point, some residents in the courtyard were willing to pay, while others were not.

However, most people are still unwilling to pay this money.

At this time, no one is having a good time.

Not all of them are struggling financially.

We don't have any extra money to help you.

At this moment, seeing that no one present was speaking, the old man spoke up and addressed everyone.

"In that case!"

"Then I'll take the lead and donate ten yuan."

Then Yi Zhonghai took out ten yuan and placed it on the winnowing basket on the table.

When Liu Haizhong saw that Yi Zhonghai had taken out ten yuan, he could only grit his teeth and take out five yuan as well.

Yi Zhonghai then took the winnowing basket and pointed it at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then sighed and took out five yuan from his pocket.

That's how they managed to scrape together twenty yuan.

Then Yi Zhonghai turned his gaze to the residents present.

"The three of us have now set an example for you."

"We're all neighbors, so let's help each other out if we can."

At this moment, Sha Zhu took out ten yuan from his pocket, wanting to donate it.

When He Yushui saw her brother pull out ten yuan, she immediately grabbed Sha Zhu's arm and scolded him.

"Brother!" "Aren't you going to live your life anymore?"

However, Sha Zhu explained to He Yushui.

"fine!".

"This is just a small amount of money."

He Yushui said to her brother in an annoyed tone.

"Small change?"

"Then why don't you just give me the money?"

“When you went to the hospital to help last time, you didn’t even give me money to buy groceries. In the end, it was Brother Feng who treated me to a meal at a restaurant.”

"You're my own brother, so give me the money!"

After hearing his sister's words, Sha Zhu couldn't help but explain.

"I'm just seeing how difficult things are for the Jia family."

However, He Yushui did not listen to her brother's explanation.

"I won't listen!"

"Even if the Jia family is in trouble, you can't donate ten yuan."

Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask He Yushui.

"Then you say how much to donate."

This question stumped He Yushui.

After all, He Yushui didn't know how much to donate.

Then she looked around at the people around her, and then she whispered to Sha Zhu.

"Then! Five pieces?"

Sha Zhu nodded, then exchanged the ten-yuan note for a five-yuan note.

However, just as Sha Zhu was exchanging money, He Yushui snatched the ten yuan from Sha Zhu's hand.

Sha Zhu watched as his younger sister snatched the ten yuan from his hand, and he couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Why are you stealing my money?"

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's question, He Yushui pouted and said to her brother.

"I'm doing this to prevent you from spending money recklessly."

"Don't you know what the house looks like?"

"If you keep squandering this money like this, this family will fall apart sooner or later."

Sha Zhu felt embarrassed by He Yushui's words.

As the older brother, he was being talked about like that by his younger sister, and he couldn't even refute her.

In the end, he could only nod at He Yushui.

"That".

"Okay then."

"Here's ten yuan for you to buy groceries."

Then Sha Zhu handed the other five yuan to the winnowing basket in the old man's hand.

Xu Damao, on the other side, saw that most people had donated.

He didn't really want to let Qin Huairu have it for free.

Seeing that the Jia family had no men left, Xu Damao couldn't help but start to covet Qin Huairu.

If he could get Qin Huairu by paying money, Xu Damao would be quite willing.

However, donating money is another matter.

Seeing how pitiful the Jia family was, Lou Xiao'e took out five yuan and asked Xu Damao to give it to Qin Huairu.

Upon hearing his wife Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao, though somewhat reluctant, still put five yuan into the old man's winnowing basket.

After Xu Damao finished distributing the money, he walked up to Qin Huairu and spoke to her.

"Sister Qin!"

"If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

"If I can help, I, Xu Damao, will definitely help."

At this moment, Qin Huairu, her face streaked with tears, thanked Xu Damao as she cried.

"Da Mao!"

"Thank you".

Xu Damao felt a surge of passion as he watched Qin Huairu's tearful and pitiful appearance.

At that moment, he longed to embrace Qin Huairu.

However, with so many people in the courtyard, Xu Damao had no choice but to give up.

This scene was witnessed by Jia Zhangshi.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi remembered the matter between Qin Huairu and Xu Damao.

At that moment, she was thinking to herself.

My precious son just passed away, and you've already started hooking up with this Xu Damao. Just wait and see how I deal with you later.

That's often the case.

In situations like this, the blame is usually placed on the woman.

That's how Jia Zhangshi was.

At this moment, the heartbroken Qin Huairu was unaware that she was hated by her mother-in-law.
