Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

"Yes, absolutely, brother, you are amazing, absolutely!" Xu Damao was the first to agree.

"It's nothing! The Jia family is indeed pitiful. I think it's okay for a neighbor to help them. But it's not necessarily true. Don't you think there's an old man helping his family? And there's also Sha Zhu! Does he need the people in the yard?" Lou Xiao'e said.

"Haha, sister-in-law! You have a kind heart but a blind heart. Do you think the Jia family is pitiful? Do you think the Jia family has no money?" Li Kangri asked.

"Of course I'm pitiful, of course I have no money, you're the one who's blind!"

"Haha, I don't even want to talk to you. You can be blind, but look at the Jia family, everyone is fat and big-eared, especially that old woman. And the two children of the Jia family, they are twice as big as the children of the same age in our village. And the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, she is also very plump, right? Have you ever seen such a pitiful person?" Li Kangri said to Lou Xiao'e, his eyes full of contempt.

"I haven't thought about this." Lou Xiao'e said.

"Haha, I told you that the day Jia Dongxu dies will be the day of the Jia family's rise. You still don't believe it. Does the Jia family have no money? As far as I know, there is compensation for death in work-related injuries. It should be at least a few hundred dollars! You can also take over the shift. How can you say there is no money?" Li Kangri said.

"Yes, I almost forgot this. It's usually around 500." Xu Damao said.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" Li Kangri asked with a smile.

"This meeting may not be just for the Jia family, it could be for other things," said Lou Xiao'e.

In fact, she began to waver in her heart. After all, what Li Kangri said was true. The steel rolling mill used to belong to her family, and she knew a little about the factory's affairs.

"Brother Damao, come out for the meeting!" Just as a few people were chatting, Yan Jiecheng's voice was heard again at the door.

"Let's go. Some people are impatient. If someone asks for donations later, I advise you not to donate, or just give it as a token of your appreciation. If you are kind-hearted, you can go to the streets and donate to those who have no food to eat!" Li Kangri reminded.

As they spoke, the four of them went out and came to the middle courtyard. A table had already been placed in the courtyard, and the three bastards were sitting beside the table in a "品" shape in terms of hierarchy.

As soon as he walked into the yard, several unfriendly glances came over, especially from Sha Zhu, who immediately shifted his gaze away from Qin Huairu and looked at Li Kangri viciously, but his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked straight at Qinghe next to Li Kangri.

Seeing this, Li Kangri pulled Qinghe behind him, gave Sha Zhu a look of contempt, and then stood quietly by the side.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start the whole hospital meeting. First, your second uncle will tell you about today's meeting. Old Liu, you come." Yi Zhonghai said after standing up.

"Cough, cough, cough!" After coughing for a while, Liu Haizhong picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. He imitated the officials in the Great Hall about 80% of the time.

"Today's meeting is about the Jia family's affairs. As you all know, Dongxu passed away a few days ago. How pitiful! Leaving behind a house full of orphans and widows, it is really not easy. So today's meeting is to discuss what to do with the Jia family in the future. Unity and mutual assistance have always been the fine traditions of our hospital. I hope that everyone will carry forward the tradition and help the Jia family overcome the difficulties. Now, an old man will talk about the situation of the Jia family in detail!" Liu Haizhong said in a serious tone.

"Good, Second Uncle is kind and righteous." Sha Zhu led the applause and shouted.

"Good, good job, Second Uncle!" Several sons of the Liu family immediately agreed.

Led by these people, the yard was instantly filled with cheers and applause.

Seeing that the people in the courtyard supported him so much, Liu Haizhong was very satisfied. He smiled and took another sip of water, like a victorious king.

"Okay, everyone, stop it!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai stood up, waved his hand to stop the neighbors from clapping and cheering, and then said, "Your second uncle is right, well said, we are an excellent courtyard, which is about unity and mutual assistance among neighbors. When one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. Don't you agree?"

"The uncle is right, that's how it should be." Sha Zhu agreed.

"Then let me tell you about the situation of the Jia family. The second uncle just said it, and everyone knows that Dongxu is gone. What a good child! He is gone just like that!" As he said this, Yi Zhonghai shed a few sad tears.

After wiping away his tears, Yi Zhonghai continued, "Dongxu is gone, but he also left behind a family of orphans and widows. Look at my old sister-in-law, look at Huairu, and then look at the two children of the Jia family. They are so pitiful! The Jia family is so pitiful! Everyone, look at them!"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, everyone's emotions were aroused, and they all looked in the direction of the Jia family. The Jia family members, one by one, had misery and sadness on their faces, especially Qin Huairu. She had not yet taken off her mourning clothes, and she was sobbing pitifully, just like that, sobbing and sobbing. She looked so pitiful.

Seeing his sister Qin's appearance, Sha Zhu's heart was broken. His goddess was suffering! He must help her, definitely.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and shouted, "Uncle, just tell me what to do. I, Shazhu, will be the first to support you. Whether it's money or food, I will definitely be the first to support you."

"Okay, Shazhu is right. At times like this, it's time for everyone to lend a helping hand. As an uncle, I'll set an example for everyone and donate fifty first."

Yi Zhonghai took out fifty dollars and handed it to Yan Fugui beside him. "Old Yan, you keep the account!"

In an instant, ten thousand horses ran through Yan Fugui’s mind, “You have a high salary and you are so generous, but what should I do?” Yan Fugui cursed in his heart.

However, he still took Yi Zhonghai's money and recorded it in the notebook. At the same time, he was quickly calculating in his mind what he should say to get away with it when it was his turn.

"Well done, uncle! It's your turn as uncle number two, you should take the lead too." Sha Zhu shouted again.

When Liu Hai heard Sha Zhu calling him, he cursed him in his heart and stood up. He took out twenty yuan and said, "As the second uncle, I can't fall behind. I'll donate twenty yuan! My salary is not as high as Lao Yi's, but the burden is not small. Come on, Lao Yan, take it."

"Second uncle, you are the second uncle, the first uncle is..." Sha Zhu had just said half of his words when a loud roar came, "Zhuzi, shut up, be quiet, didn't you see the donation?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu was about to stab, Yi Zhonghai immediately stopped him and said that he was very satisfied that Liu Haizhong could get twenty points.

"Okay, I'll just watch, hehe." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

After glaring at Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai sat down and looked at Yan Fugui. His meaning was obvious, "Old Yan, it's your turn!"
