Siheyuan: Security Chief, suppressing the whole courtyard

Xu Damao sneered, "Didn't you see that the people from the street office are here? Don't ask, they must be here to donate to the Jia family again. Damn it, donating every day, if you can't afford it, don't live!... Hey? Is Mengzi here?"

Xu Damao walked up to Li Meng and said with a smile, "Great, Mengzi, I heard about your hunting of wild boars. You are such a man!"

Seeing Sha Zhu standing next to him, Xu Damao's face drooped. "Mengzi, I'm telling you, you can kill pigs, but stay away from Sha Zhu. He's not a good person. I've heard of people calling someone by the wrong name, but have you ever heard of people calling someone by the wrong nickname? His name is Sha Zhu, which has the word "sha" in it. Think about it."

"Fuck you, Xu Damao! I think you deserve a beating!" Sha Zhu glared and cursed.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Damao smelled the alcohol on his breath and knew that he had been drinking. He was afraid that he would get drunk and beat him up, so he quickly stepped back and said, "Humph, I won't argue with you!"

"Alright, alright, be quiet." Yi Zhonghai stood up and pressed his hands down, signaling for silence.

Glancing around, Yi Zhonghai said, "Today, I have two things to say. First, I believe many people know that our newcomer Li Meng has become famous. He killed a wild boar on the mountain by himself and sold it to the factory, earning more than 200 yuan. In the past, this would have been called a hero. Come on, let's applaud the hero of our hospital! Clapping!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out.

Li Meng sneered, thinking that Yi Zhonghai still used the same old tricks, flattering people before cheating them.

"The second thing is to donate to the Jia family. Dongxu is my apprentice. As you all know, his family has a hard life. His length of service and fitter level are not low, and he earns a lot every month. But besides him, his mother, his wife, and the children are all registered in the countryside. The ration is not enough for them to eat, so they can only buy negotiated grain. There is a big family, and food is in short supply now. Can you calculate how much money they spend on bargained grain alone in a month?"

"Helping each other, solidarity and friendship are the traditional virtues of our nation and the guiding principles from above. I will take the lead and donate ten yuan!"

As soon as the words fell, the second uncle Liu Haizhong said reluctantly: "I will donate three yuan. I can't compare to the first uncle who has no children and no burden. I have several sons at home."

These words made Yi Zhonghai very angry, but he didn't know what to say.

Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly: "Everyone knows my family's situation, I'll donate one dollar."

After the three uncles paid their money, Yi Zhonghai turned his gaze to Li Meng.

"Li Meng, you are a hero in our hospital. We all applauded you just now. Yesterday, I paid you back 140 yuan on behalf of Dongxu. You made another 200 yuan hunting today. Your household registration has been changed from rural to non-rural. Your family is now the least burdened in the hospital and you are well-off. Please express your opinion. How much will you donate this time?"

Yi Zhonghai had a smile on his face, but he had made up his mind that he must make Li Meng bleed heavily today!

So many people are watching, and Li Meng earned more than 300 in two days. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Yi Zhonghai believed that if Li Meng dared to say no or donated too little, the whole hospital would blame him!

Can Li Meng withstand the pressure from the entire hospital?

"Boss, let's donate a little bit." Zhang Chunmei whispered, "Don't let us anger others later."

"Public outrage?" Li Meng laughed and patted his wife's hand: "Don't worry, wife, just look at me."

Li Meng stepped forward and asked the clerk of the subdistrict office: "Leader, I want to ask you a question."

"Comrade, ask."

"I want to ask, does every household have to donate to the hospital? Will it be illegal if they don't donate?"

Hearing this, the street official frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Donations are all voluntary."

"Oh, since it's voluntary, then I want to ask if I have the right not to donate?"

"Of course you have the right not to donate, but comrade, I heard from Master Yi about your family situation..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Meng interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "If you have the power, just don't donate! Master Yi, I will make it clear now that I will not donate this time. Not only this time, I will not donate to the Jia family in the future."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang got furious and glared at him, "Why don't you donate? No! You got over 300 yuan in two days, you must donate it to my family. My family is having a hard time, just donate ! After you donate , you don't have to donate for the whole next year!"

Li Meng:? ? ?

"How the hell did you say something like that? Jia Zhang, do you want to have some shame?"

"How dare you scold me, you little beast?! I'm telling you, you have to donate this money today!"

"You old beast, please be more polite."

Li Meng ignored her and turned to look at the clerk of the street office: "Leader, did you see that someone is trying to force me to donate? It's not illegal for me not to donate, but I want to ask if it's illegal for her to force me to donate?"

The clerk frowned and looked at Jia Zhang: "Madam, donation is voluntary. There is no requirement to donate."

Seeing that things were going badly, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly continued, "Li Meng, every family has its ups and downs. Can you guarantee that your family will be free from disasters and troubles for the rest of their lives? If you don't help the Jia family this time, everyone will see it. If you make everyone feel cold, no one will help you if your family has problems in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, they really incited public anger.

Yan Jiecheng snorted, "He really only cares about his own business and doesn't care about other people's problems. He got more than 300 yuan in two days. Tsk tsk, he's not even willing to donate a little money."

The second aunt echoed, "Mengzi, what you did is wrong. Aren't you destroying the unity of the compound? People should not be too selfish. What's wrong with you donating some money?"

The whole courtyard was in chaos.

"Yeah, you earn so much, but you're not willing to donate it. Isn't that too unsympathetic?"

"Li Meng, listen to the uncle. Even if you donate five dollars, it will be a token of your appreciation, right?"

"Five dollars is too little, isn't it? Li Meng made 200 dollars from selling a wild boar. I think he should donate at least 20 dollars."

"Is 20 a bit too much? I think 15 is just right."

"20 is more than that? Didn't I hear that the old man gave him 140 yesterday?"

"That's right, Li Meng. You just got married, so consider your donation as a way to accumulate virtue for your children and grandchildren."

"..."

Seeing that the residents began to "force donations", Yi Zhonghai's mouth curled up slightly.

He knew these neighbors too well. Each of them couldn't bear to see others living a good life.

In a year of disaster, having enough food is a luxury. Li Meng earned more than 300 yuan in two days. Who wouldn't be jealous?

If Li Meng is not made to bleed, not only will Yi Zhonghai be unable to vent his anger, but the jealousy of the other residents will also be unable to be eliminated!

Chapter 18: Offense and defense change, and the pressure is put on Yi Zhonghai!

The residents accused loudly, but Li Meng watched them one by one and took note of them.

It can be said that more than half of the more than 20 households in the hospital are forced to donate.

Only Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Liu Gen from the front yard, and Wang Dali's wife from the back yard did not go along with the gang.

Liugen from the front yard is in his early 20s and has no formal job. He works as a temporary worker in a grain store. He has a seriously ill grandmother at home. He is a very kind and filial person.

Wang Dali's wife in the backyard is paralyzed in bed due to a work-related injury, and his wife takes over his job. Both of them are honest people.

As for Sha Zhu, he had just become friends with Li Meng, so naturally he would not join in the fun.

Xu Damao was simply afraid of Li Meng. Li Meng was a tough guy, even tougher than Sha Zhu, and he didn't dare to offend him easily.

Except for these few households, the whole hospital is forcing donations!

Zhang Chunmei said anxiously in a low voice: "Boss, if you really can't do anything, just donate some money?"

He Yushui also sighed and said, "Yeah, Brother Mengzi, look at these people. They look like they want to eat people. How scary. They must be jealous of you for making so much money today. If you don't pay a little, they won't let you go."

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, the alcohol rising in his body, and he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fuck you, you bastard, are you bullying my buddy?"

As he was about to take action, he was stopped by Li Meng.

"Zhu Zi, physical action won't solve the problem. Chun Mei, don't be anxious. Just wait and see what I'm doing."

Li Meng took a deep breath and said loudly, "I'm a man of my word. If I say I won't donate, I won't donate! I've made it clear today. If there's someone in my family who is in trouble, the Jia family won't need to donate to my family, so I won't donate to his family either. Isn't that fair?"

His voice was so loud that it drowned out everyone else's comments.

Li Meng added: "Everyone, think about it, even if your family is in trouble, can you still expect the Jia family to donate to you? Their family is like a clay Buddha crossing the river. To put it bluntly, the money we donate is equivalent to the share money that can never be collected back!"

"The Jia family is having a hard time this year, and next year, so won't they have no hard times the year after? Their family has had a hard time every year, and they'll never make a fortune in their entire lives! It's useless for us to help them!"

Li Meng spoke in plain language.

When everyone heard this, they began to wonder.

A few old ladies started talking in low voices.

"What Li Meng said seems to be right. It sounds good to help each other, but when her family is in trouble, we help her. When we are in trouble, will her family have money to help us?"

"That's right! This is like throwing meat buns at a dog and never coming back!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe the policy will change in a few years, and her family will be better off."

"Bullshit! How many years will it take? When his son grows up, will he want to get married? It will still be difficult to take over!"

"Yup!"

"..."

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said first: "My brother Li Meng said it well! I have decided to do the same as him. I will not donate to the Jia family anymore. If my Xu family is in trouble one day, we don't need the help of his Jia family!"

He had never gotten along with Yi Zhonghai. When they fought when they were young, Yi Zhonghai always sided with Jia Dongxu. Now he had a chance to add insult to injury and do Li Meng a favor at the same time. Why not do it?

This person is afraid that someone will start something.

As soon as Xu Damao took the lead, someone else immediately said, "Then I will be like Xu Damao. I won't donate anymore. If my family is in trouble in the future, I won't need the Jia family to help me!"

"Then I'll do the same!"

"My family is like this too, I won't donate anymore!"

"From now on, my family will not donate to the Jia family anymore!"

"..."

The voices expressing opinions are coming one after another!

In everyone's eyes, the Jia family is a hopeless case and will never be able to make a fortune.

To put it bluntly, it will be difficult to get a return on the money invested in the Jia family in the future, so why should we donate to them?

There is a give-and-take process when it comes to gifts, and the same goes for donations.

Donations alone won't bring in any money, and with Li Meng and Xu Damao setting an example, residents will naturally put their own interests first.

From the beginning when the whole hospital was forcing Li Meng to donate, to now when the whole hospital is refusing to donate!

After all, profit comes first!

The offense and defense changed instantly, and the pressure was put on the side of the Lord of Morality!

"This this......"

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded when he saw the birds changing their expressions faster than turning pages of a book!

He didn't expect things to turn out like this!

From now on, the activity of everyone donating money will still exist, but the Jia family can forget about participating!

"Li Meng! You're destroying me!" Jia Dongxu was so anxious that tears came out. He clenched his fists and was about to hit Li Meng.

How could he not be angry when he thought that no one in the backyard would donate to him anymore?

Qin Huairu was also crying in anxiety.

Jia Zhang even started cursing in the street.

"Fuck you! Who are you talking to?" Li Meng narrowed his eyes and said, "Before you start, check your own weight first, don't hurt yourself!"

"I...I...I!"

Jia Dongxu then remembered that Li Meng was a strong man who could kill a wild boar. He didn't dare to move forward and could only stare at him, feeling helpless and furious!

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted, and then sighed: "The street leader is right, donations are voluntary, no one can force donations, those who don't want to donate to the Jia family can go home now."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone dispersed.

Li Meng also took his wife home, leaving only Sha Zhu behind.

"I...I'll donate one dollar."

He Yuzhu donated one dollar for Yi Zhonghai's sake.

"Well, Zhuzi, you're great." Seeing that Sha Zhu still took out the money, Yi Zhonghai felt somewhat relieved.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Master Yi, you are the boss of the compound, is this how you manage the compound?" The street official frowned and said, "Just now everyone forced us to donate, and now no one wants to donate. I think your honors of Advanced Compound, Civilized Compound, and Unity Compound this month are all questionable."

"Secretary Zhou...Secretary Zhou!"

Looking at Secretary Zhou who left angrily, Yi Zhonghai stamped his feet in anxiety.

He cares a lot about those honors, but it seems that all the honors this month are gone!
