The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Chapter 103 A Powerful Kidnapping? Crushing the Birds

Many beasts' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this explanation.

However, quite a few beasts agreed.

Although they were well aware of the past grievances between Cao Wei and these families.

But what does this have to do with them? Right now, they can have a good reputation without having to pay anything.

They naturally blurted out those irresponsible words without any consequences.

"I think this old man made a great arrangement."

"Yes, yes, the arrangements are really good."

'

"Hearing these words of praise, Yi Zhonghai seemed to regain that feeling of being in control of everything. He looked at Cao Wei with a smile and couldn't help but speak."

"Xiao Cao, you shouldn't have any problems, right?"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had regained control of the situation, and the feeling of suppressing Cao Wei was incredibly satisfying.

Just thinking about how the other party has to endure disgust and accept this so-called trend is unbearable.

One person can't beat the other, but with so many neighbors in this compound, their words could drown the other, right?

However, Yi Zhonghai overlooked one point: from beginning to end, Cao Wei never thought of having any morals or anything like that in this beastly courtyard.

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's so-called arrangements and his final words, Cao Wei finally couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

He yawned and then turned and walked towards his home.

He looked as if he didn't care at all, or rather, he hadn't heard a thing.

As the saying goes, sometimes no reaction is more infuriating than fierce resistance.

Seeing Cao Wei's attitude of ignoring him and his demeanor of acting as if he were going to make enemies of the entire hospital in public, Yi Zhonghai felt a secret sense of smugness.

He couldn't help but scold her again.

"Comrade Xiao Cao, what's wrong with you?"

"The entire courtyard meeting isn't even over yet. Are you dissatisfied with the neighbors in the courtyard, or do you have a problem with the idea of ​​jointly building an excellent courtyard house?"

Every word and phrase reveals that Yi Zhonghai was trying to trap Cao Wei.

However, Cao Wei suddenly paused.

He turned around, staring at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile, and then sneered, "I think you, this old man without a son, have lost your mind, haven't you?"

"What kind of old man are you lining up for?"

"I'm giving you face because you're considered a mediator in this so-called compound. If I don't give you face, you're nothing but a piece of trash."

"You can't possibly be unaware of my dealings with the Jia family, and the criminal records your four families have accumulated because of it. Do you think I should bring this up again?"

"Excellent courtyard houses are built through construction, not by your words."

"You think you can just open your mouth and expect me to hand over money to that beastly Jia family? Are you out of your mind?"

This public display of insults stunned Yi Zhonghai for a moment.

His chest was burning with rage, but he knew he couldn't let anger cloud his judgment. After taking a deep breath, he could only feign pitifulness.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that even after so long, this matter still lingers in your mind."

But we all need to look forward. The neighborhood committee also said, "No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes." Comrade Cao, do you really want to go against the collective?

Almost instantly, many neighbors chimed in to agree.

"That's right, that old man is right. You're so rich, what's wrong with giving the Jia family a little help?"

"That's right, just take something out of your fingernail."

"...

'

Listening to these beastly neighbors stirring things up, and the huge accusations that Yi Zhonghai was about to pin on himself.

Now, Qin Huairu deliberately looked at Cao Wei with a tearful expression and spoke in a pitiful tone.

"Brother Wei, I know you may have had some misunderstandings about our family before, but so much time has passed. If you really don't want to help my son and me, then just let us starve to death."

Qin Huairu's attempt to play the victim seems poised to bring this top-tier moral blackmail to its climax.

Yi Zhonghai was incredibly excited at that moment.

He couldn't think of, or rather, couldn't find a way for Cao Wei to refute him at this moment, or escape this moral blackmail.

However, a hint of disgust flashed in Cao Wei's eyes.

He remained completely calm throughout, speaking in a light and casual manner.

"Oh right, I think I have some suggestions I haven't mentioned yet."

"Since building this courtyard together requires those of us who are better off to contribute more, it's impossible for all the neighbors to just enjoy the benefits. I suggest that everyone contribute some money to set up a small porridge distribution point at our entrance, something like that for helping beggars. It wouldn't be much per person, just five thousand yuan per family would do. This way, our courtyard's good reputation, or rather, our status as an excellent courtyard, would be more easily recognized by others, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the neighbors who had been morally condemning Cao Wei as a beast fell silent.

Just kidding, this is making them pay for it.

Seeing this, Cao Wei continued to unleash his attacks without any restraint.

"How come you're all so eloquent when it comes to talking? Now, the method I'm proposing is a good one. Doesn't it also let outsiders know that our courtyard is full of philanthropy?"

"When it comes to paying for things themselves, they all turn into stingy old Yan? What are they trying to prove by acting all high and mighty in front of me?"

Hearing this, these beastly neighbors, though ashamed, still had a few thick-skinned ones who couldn't help but argue back.

"How can that be the same? You're so rich, and we're so poor."

"That's right. If I were as rich as you, I could sponsor not just one, but two or three at will."

Seeing that these beasts were still stubborn, Cao Wei couldn't help but nod and sneered, "It would be a miracle if they were really willing. Putting everything else aside, just about what I just said, I can personally come up with 30,000 yuan, while each of you only needs to contribute 5,000 yuan. Now what?"

At this, all the beastly neighbors lowered their heads.

There's no way around it; it doesn't make sense morally.

They've already taken out tens of thousands of yuan at once, while I'm hesitant to spend even a few thousand. In this situation, it's true that I can't argue with them for the time being.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai sensed something was wrong, and Cao Wei's gaze finally fell on him.

"Hai Zi, I wouldn't have said these things if you hadn't courted death. But since you did, don't blame me."

"Ha, I do remember some interesting things. You keep saying that the reason you're willing to take care of the old deaf man is because of his mysterious background. Think about it, now that the old deaf man is a recipient of the Five Guarantees, does he need you to make any sacrifices for him?"

"Maybe you'll just cook for them every day, and once they leave, you'll get the house. And who knows how much money that old deaf guy will have by then? It'll all be Yi Zhonghai's, while we'll have given it all for nothing. You even want to disgust me. Tsk tsk tsk, you really have a good plan."

This reminder immediately brought all the beastly neighbors to their senses.

Yes, nowadays the old deaf man is a recipient of the Five Guarantees, so what does Yi Zhonghai need to care about?

At most, I'll just have my wife, Li Mei, do the cooking.

But how does this compare to what one can actually gain? The other families get nothing, but Yi Zhonghai can. The old deaf man's house alone is attractive enough, not to mention that the old deaf man might have an inheritance.

This kind of sure-fire deal caught their attention, and they all started to speak up.

"Well, I think I can take care of the old lady too."

"That's right, I can take care of the old lady too."

"Get out of the way, old lady, we can make whatever you want to eat."

This scene completely stunned Yi Zhonghai. What he thought was a sure thing turned around in just a few words.

Cao Wei not only silenced his beastly neighbors, but also exposed his most secret scheme in public.
