The courtyard is full of my offspring

At this moment, Long Xiao'e stood up and said loudly: "Since it is a good deed, I will donate 5 yuan first!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately flattered Long Xiao'e: "Great, Comrade Long Xiao'e is indeed highly conscious, and is worthy of being the granddaughter of the deaf old lady! We should all learn from activists like Comrade Long Xiao'e!"

Long Xiao'e felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She blushed slightly and scratched her head gently.

However, her heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface, but was filled with complex thoughts and reflections.

Although everyone praised her highly, she was always thinking about another thing in her heart.

Long Xiao'e replied with a smile on her face: "I'm just doing my part."

Her tone was modest and gentle, as if all this was insignificant.

However, her eyes revealed a kind of determination and persistence, as if silently telling others that what she did was not just a simple effort, but a heartfelt contribution.

Long Xiao'e's action was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, and quickly aroused the response of the residents of the courtyard.

Many families followed her example and handed the donations in their hands to Liu Haizhong without hesitation.

They may have had doubts, or may not fully understand the significance of doing so, but under the gaze of Bangs, they still gritted their teeth and took out the one yuan.

Amid the noise, Liu Haizhong gradually accumulated a considerable amount of charity donations.

Looking at these scattered banknotes, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Although the amount is not large, it is undoubtedly a symbol of the residents' unity and mutual help.

Every banknote carries everyone's kindness and concern for families in need, which makes Liu Haizhong deeply moved.

After the excitement, Liu Haizhong received a total of 70 or 80 yuan in donations.

This amount of money is not a small sum for the residents of an ordinary courtyard house.

It represents everyone's heart and also bears witness to the warmth and kindness of this small community.

Liu Haizhong was filled with emotion, and his heart became even more active!

But the next second!

His joy of receiving the money was immediately broken by He Daqing's lackey Xing Guoqiang!

Xing Guoqiang said, "Liu Haizhong, you haven't said who the money is donated to?"

Liu Haizhong said calmly, "This is a secret! You will know after the patient recovers!"

Xing Guoqiang continued: "That means the money will be spent in an unclear way!"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face instantly became gloomy. He stared at Xing Guoqiang with gritted teeth, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.

But he still suppressed his anger and said calmly: "How can you say it's unclear? This is everyone's kindness!"

Xing Guoqiang did not back down and sneered, "Since it is everyone's intention, then we should let everyone know who the money is used for. Otherwise, how can we trust you with the money?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only stare at Xing Guoqiang, speechless for a moment.

People around him also began to whisper, expressing doubt and dissatisfaction with Liu Haizhong's actions.

At this time, Long Xiao'e stepped out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. Since Uncle Haizhong has his own plans, let's just trust him."

"After all, he is a well-known figure in our compound and he won't do anything unreliable."

Liu Haizhong glanced at Long Xiaoe gratefully and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, when has Liu Haizhong ever lied to you? Don't worry!"

Seeing this, Xing Guoqiang didn't want to insist any longer. He just snorted coldly and continued to sit on the bench.

Liu Haizhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a strong hatred towards Xing Guoqiang.

Without Xing Guoqiang's interference, Liu Haizhong breathed a sigh of relief!

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that he could finally get out of this predicament.

A few days ago, the hospital issued a final notice that if Liu Haizhong could not pay the hospitalization and medical expenses in time, they would complain to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

If the factory knew about this, Liu Haizhong's monthly salary of 65 yuan would probably be gone.

After careful consideration, Liu Haizhong decided to discuss countermeasures with the second aunt.

In the end, the two reached a consensus and decided to go to the black market to find loan sharks to borrow money.

At first, when they found the loan shark, his attitude was quite polite.

However, when the second aunt signed the contract, she realized that there was a huge trap hidden in the contract.

It turned out that this contract was a "black-hearted" contract that stipulated high interest rates.

If you fail to repay the principal on time, interest will accumulate at an alarming rate, and may even roll up to thousands of dollars in just one month.

Faced with such a dilemma, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to come up with this bad plan: using the name of the office and the prestige accumulated over the years to deceive the neighbors of the courtyard house in order to raise funds to repay the debt.

Liu Haizhong thought: "I have no choice. If I don't do this, I will lose my job..."
