Chapter 224 Response
The embarrassed aunt knew that she couldn't embarrass Yi Zhonghai, so she pretended nothing had happened and waited for Yi Zhonghai at the door.

The third aunt heard the discussion outside and pulled Yan Bugui back home: "Did you really pay 10,000 yuan for the Jia family's medical expenses?"

Yan Bugui had a dark face: "Old Yi is forcing everyone to pay, and Old Liu and Old Xu have both agreed to pay, what can I do?
If I dare not give it to you, I will not be able to be a liaison officer anymore."

"Why? Jia Dongxu's wife is in the hospital, why should our family pay for it?" The third aunt complained dissatisfiedly.

"What can you do if Jia Dongxu can't come up with the money?" Yan Bugui's tone was helpless.

The third auntie was not willing to give in: "Old Yi earns such a high salary every month, I don't believe he can't even come up with 100,000 yuan."

Could it be that Yan Bugui couldn’t think of this?

Now that I have thought about it, what can I do?
As long as he didn't want to fall out with Yi Zhonghai, he wouldn't dare to stand up and accuse Yi Zhonghai. Not everyone is like He Yuzhu, who has a master who helps him without asking for anything in return and can ignore Yi Zhonghai's revenge.

"Okay, the money has already been given, why are you talking so much? Let me talk to the eldest and second sons and ask them to give the family more money."

The third aunt was not so optimistic: "Didn't you hear what the people in the courtyard said? Old Yi will probably ask everyone to contribute money to help the Jia family, and he might even force everyone to donate."

Yan Bugui's face changed: "Isn't there still Shazhu? He was the one who ruined Lao Yi's plans several times."

"Sha Zhu and Lao Yi have never had any contact with each other. Lao Yi has plotted against him many times, but Lao Yi didn't get any advantage and was even beaten several times. Does he dare to go to Sha Zhu this time?" asked the third aunt.

Yan Bugui was not sure: "He should go! Didn't you see that as soon as Qin Huairu got into trouble, Lao Yi called out for Sha Zhu. As long as Sha Zhu doesn't kill him, he won't let Sha Zhu go. We just have to wait."

The Yan family’s attitude is the attitude of many people in the hospital.

They dare not stand up and oppose, and all hope that others will take the lead. But when others take the lead, they cannot just stand by and watch, so they deserve to be cheated.

Xu Fugui went directly to He Yuzhu's house and asked how to deal with Yi Zhonghai. If Qin Huairu was not pregnant, he would not mind helping Qin Huairu. But forget it now, he was not in the mood to chat with a pregnant woman.

"Zhu Zi, how do you think we should deal with Lao Yi?"

He Yuzhu didn't want to get involved. Before Yi Zhonghai provoked him, he really had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the Siheyuan.

"Against what?"

Xu Fugui looked as if he was pretending to be stupid: "Of course it's a trick to deal with Lao Yi. Didn't you also say that? He will definitely force the people in the courtyard to help the Jia family. I don't believe you are willing to listen to him."

He Yuzhu said, "I have said it so many times that I will never have anything to do with him or the Jia family. If he is not afraid of getting beaten, then come on. It just so happens that I have been itching to practice with my hands recently, so I want to find a sandbag to practice with."

Xu Fugui was dumbfounded. He Yuzhu clearly wanted to use this opportunity to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson, and he would definitely not join forces with him to destroy Yi Zhonghai's tricks.

What should he do?
He doesn't have the ability to beat Yi Zhonghai.

He was a projectionist, usually showing movies for the leaders in the factory, and rarely went out for activities. Yi Zhonghai was different, he was a fitter, he had to work every day.

You can't expect He Yuzhu to come out and help him every time!

This idea is simply unrealistic.

"Zhu Zi, you can't just stay at your house, you have to help me."

He Yuzhu said: "Uncle Xu, it's not that I don't want to help, I just have no choice. It's up to you to decide whether to help the Jia family or not. I can't stop you from helping!
Believe it or not, if I dare to say this, all the neighbors in our courtyard will become timely rain, saying every day that if I hadn't stopped them, they would have helped the Jia family."

Xu Fugui knew that what He Yuzhu said was true. They had ruined the situation of Yi Zhonghai and his colleagues being in charge, which was a good thing for the hospital. However, the people in the hospital helped Yi Zhonghai and his colleagues to slander them, saying that they did not obey the leadership of the Military Control Commission.

"Then what should our family do? What do you think of me joining forces with Old Liu?" He Yuzhu shook his head: "It's useless. Second Master is not short of money. As long as Yi Zhonghai tells him that helping the Jia family can have a good reputation, he will be fooled. Not only will he pay himself, but in order to grab the credit, he will also help Yi Zhonghai force everyone to pay."

Xu Damao said with a spit: "Second uncle is just stupid. He doesn't even go out and ask around to see if there is anyone who treats him well. I really don't know why he always gets fooled."

"You go ask him." He Yuzhu said.

Xu Damao shook his head: "I'm not that stupid. It's useless to ask."

Xu Fugui asked: "Then who do you think I should join forces with? With the Li family?"

Li Dagen's family was indeed dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's actions, but his family did not have much say, and they could only protect themselves. Li Dagen was not a worker in the steel plant, so he was isolated and helpless in the courtyard. He relied on the two men in his family to scare off other people's calculations.

Xu Fugui was helpless: "Then what do you think we should do? Give me some ideas."

After much consideration, I couldn't find a suitable candidate. If I had to pick a general from among the lame, I could only choose Yan Bugui.

"Him? No way. Old Yan is a fence-sitter who can be easily bribed by Old Yi. In this respect, he is not as good as Old Liu." Xu Fugui refused directly.

Yan Bugui's personality really made him uneasy. As long as there was benefit, he would betray. In this respect, he was not as good as Liu Haizhong. At least Liu Haizhong wanted to seize the position of Yi Zhonghai's uncle, so he was not easy to be bribed.

"Can you find anyone else besides him?" He Yuzhu asked back.

Xu Fugui shook his head.

Yan Bugui is not obvious in front of them, but in front of other people, he is still the big boss, not someone who can be easily provoked.

He Yuzhu said: "In fact, it is also beneficial to cooperate with the Third Uncle. The Third Uncle is a money-grubber. If Yi Zhonghai wants everyone to pay, he must first deal with him. And even if he deals with the Third Uncle, there is no way to guarantee that the Third Uncle will not turn against him. You can determine Yi Zhonghai's tactics by observing the Third Uncle's performance."

Xu Damao asked doubtfully, "Whenever the manure cart passes by, the third uncle will taste the saltiness. Can the first uncle really handle the third uncle?"

He Yuzhu said: "As long as he is willing to pay, you can ask the Third Uncle to do anything. He must donate to the Jia family. What if Yi Zhonghai promises to return the money donated by the Third Uncle later?"

The landlords' money was returned in full, and the people's money was divided 70% to 30%.

This routine is not strange at all to He Yuzhu.

In Sha Zhu's memory, Yi Zhonghai did not do that, nor did he need to do that. At that time, Yi Zhonghai dominated the Siheyuan, and no one dared to object.

But just because it’s not in my memory doesn’t mean it won’t happen now.

In this life, Yi Zhonghai no longer has such great prestige and no money in his pocket. If he wants to help the Jia family, he must unite the three uncles.

Yan Bugui couldn't donate much money in the first place, so using that little money in exchange for Yan Bugui's support would definitely be a good deal for Yi Zhonghai.

Under He Yuzhu's persuasion, Xu Fugui agreed to seek cooperation with Yan Bugui, but he did not completely trust Yan Bugui.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he was immediately poured a basin of cold water by an old lady. He did want to ask everyone for help. The doctor said that Qin Huairu needed nutrition. When he didn't want to pay for it himself, he could only ask everyone who had money to pay, and those who didn't have money had to pay.

"Damn you, how did he know that?"

The first lady sighed, "Don't worry about how he found out for now. The old lady said that for the sake of your prestige, don't act rashly."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "I understand. I can only let Huairu down a bit."
