Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 41 Help
"Since we're not allowed to organize donations, we can select a few families in the courtyard who are better off and help the Jia family. This will not only avoid violating the regulations, but also reflect our spirit of mutual help."

I have to say that Yi Zhonghai’s method is really good.

By selecting only a few households, the interests of the majority of residents will not be infringed and public outrage will not be aroused.

But it is not very friendly to Yan Jiecheng.

After all, given his relationship with Yi Zhonghai, there is no doubt that he must be included in these families.

As expected by Yan Jiecheng, Yi Zhonghai then announced that Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and Sha Zhu would come to help the Jia family.

It is undeniable that Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and Sha Zhu are indeed relatively well-off in the courtyard, but they are not the best.

If no one else talks about it, just talk about Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Their monthly salary is over 80 yuan, which is much more than the three of them.

Just when Yan Jiecheng was about to retort, Sha Zhu couldn't wait to stand up and echoed loudly.

"I listen to my uncle."

After saying that, he didn't forget to glance at Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao was not as lustful as Sha Zhu, but he was worried that if he spoke up against it, Sha Zhu would retaliate with force. For a moment, he could only look at Yan Jiecheng anxiously.

Yan Jiecheng saw that he could not rely on Xu Damao, so he had to take action himself. He stood up and said.

"Uncle, remember last time you called for donations, I told you that although I had separated from my family, it was simply because I couldn't live there. Why are you singling me out again? Aren't you deliberately trying to destroy our family's relationship?"

This time Yi Zhonghai had obviously thought it through carefully, and he spoke calmly when facing Yan Jiecheng's questioning.

"Jie Cheng, judging from what you said, how could a grandfather like you actually do something so ridiculous?"

"I've discussed this with your father. After all, he doesn't work at the steel mill, so he's powerless to lend a hand even if he wants to. That's why I brought you up here. It'll be good for you if this gets out. You can't let your father and I down."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan's father who was sitting in the chair in silence, and his heart suddenly burned with anger.

He was sold out by Yan Fugui again, but I wonder what the price was this time? It's really speechless to meet such a father who betrays his son.

Seeing that this question did not stump Yi Zhonghai, Yan Jiecheng calmed down and continued.

"Master, I don't know if you're being inconsiderate or harboring evil intentions, but you're actually sending three young men to help a widow. If they end up in trouble, isn't this simply ruining our reputations?"

"Besides, if we talk about the most difficult family in our courtyard, it's not the Jia family. Look at Widow Li in the front yard and Old Man Zhang in the back yard. Which family is not more difficult than the Jia family? But you seem to be unable to see them and only see the Jia family. This can't help but remind people of the previous rumors."

The other residents in the courtyard, concerned that Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter, did not dare to speak out in agreement.

Xu Damao was different. Although he also had concerns, he also knew that Yi Zhonghai chose him as one of the three because he didn't take him seriously and thought he was easy to bully.

If he doesn't fight back, Yi Zhonghai will become more aggressive in the future.

So after Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he also stood up and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Jie Cheng, I'm not saying anything as your brother, but the eldest master has been favoring the Jia family for a long time. Everyone in the courtyard knows this, but you're the only one who insists on breaking the ice."

Xu Damao was blaming Yan Jiecheng on the surface, but everyone understood the implicit meaning of his words.

Seeing Xu Damao so arrogant, Sha Zhu beside him was furious and immediately shouted, "Grandson, you dare to slander me, wait and see how I deal with you."

After saying this, Sha Zhu rushed towards Xu Damao.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly hid behind Yan Jiecheng and cursed at Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, you bastard, come and beat me up if you can."

Provoked by Xu Damao, Sha Zhu didn't care about Yan Jiecheng and rushed forward to beat Xu Damao.

Are you kidding? At other times, Yan Jiecheng didn't bother to care about the trivial matters between them, but now Xu Damao was his helper. How could Yan Jiecheng let him get beaten? He immediately stopped Sha Zhu and said.

"Silly Zhu, Uncle Yi just said that our courtyard is united and friendly, and we help each other, and you're planning to beat up Xu Damao. You don't take Uncle Yi's words to heart."

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Sha Zhu was about to stop, but Xu Damao, who was hiding behind Yan Jiecheng, provoked him again.

"Grandson, come and beat me up if you have the guts. If I beg for mercy, I'm not Xu Damao."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Sha Zhu became furious again and punched Xu Damao.

But he forgot that Yan Jiecheng was standing in front of Xu Damao at this time, and the punch was also aimed at Yan Jiecheng.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was stubborn, Yan Jiecheng was no longer polite. He kicked Sha Zhu half a meter away, and Yan Jiecheng only used 70% of his strength.

As Sha Zhu fell to the ground, the field suddenly became lively with cheers and sighs.

Seeing the chaos at the scene, Yi Zhonghai knew that this conference had failed again.

But he was unwilling to give up and tried to get the meeting back on track. So he spoke loudly.

"Alright, everyone, stop making a fuss and get back to the meeting. Jie Cheng, you too, how could you hit someone?"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he did not forget to signal the two old men beside him to take action.

The three managers stepped in and quickly restored order in the venue.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai pressed his hand and said.

"Just now, Jie Cheng said that the Jia family is not the most difficult one, and he thinks the three stewards are unfair. If everyone thinks so, then they have misunderstood us three stewards."

"The Jia family is only the first one we are helping. If the results are good, we will continue to promote this method. By then, we can help the Li Wang family in the front yard and the Zhang uncle family in the back yard."

Yi Zhonghai was really cunning in his words. Not only did he avoid the important points in answering Yan Jiecheng's questions, but he also implicitly treated the three managers as a whole.

Qin Huairu was not idle either. Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, she quickly pinched the two children secretly, and Xiaodang and Huaihua started crying at the same time.

Hearing the child's cry, Yi Zhonghai was delighted and immediately made the decision.

"It's getting late. If everyone has no objections, let's just settle this. From now on, the Jia family will be supported by Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and Yan Jiecheng."

After saying this, he turned around and said to Qin Huairu without looking at the three people.

"Huai Ru, if your family has any difficulties in the future, just go to these three and they will definitely do their best to help."
