Wang Dahai turned to the four groups of onlookers and said loudly,
"The neighbors have all heard that Jia Qiankun's family has run out of food. It's okay for the adults to starve for a few days, but this child can't be hungry. Let's all help and gather some food to help his family tide over the difficulties.”
When the surrounding crowd heard that they had to gather food, they all stood silently at the side. At this time, everyone's life was not good.
It's not like you're the only one who's short of food. Everyone's hungry, so why should we donate food to your Qin Huairu's family? Is it because you know how to act pitiful?
Wang Dahai saw everyone's expressions and immediately knew what they were thinking. Because he was a level-eight fitter, his monthly salary was as high as 105 yuan.
This salary was even higher than the salary of Zhou Feng, a deputy section chief. It could be said that in the entire Beast Yard, Wang Dahai's salary was the highest.
In addition, Wang Dahai only had the two of them, so they had the best days in the entire Siheyuan.
That was why Wang Dahai had the money to support those poor families, which gave him unparalleled prestige in the entire Siheyuan.
At that moment, Wang Dahai's expression immediately changed when he saw everyone's expressions. He began to question loudly,
"Everyone knows about Jia Qiankun's family's situation. Their family has already run out of food. Are they really going to watch their two children starve to death?”
At this point, Wang Dahai began to look at everyone with a serious expression. Under his sharp gaze, everyone who was seen lowered their heads in shame.
"Hmph, the atmosphere in our courtyard has always been that everyone loves and helps each other.
When had there ever been a time when someone in the courtyard had gotten into trouble and everyone had not helped? This time, Jia Qiankun's family had already run out of food. Could it be that everyone could not save some food and support them?”
Under Wang Dahai's interrogation, everyone seemed to hesitate. It was not that they really cared about this little bit of food.
After all, there were many people in the courtyard. If each family saved a little food, they could help the Jia family tide over the difficulties. It was easy to help once, but they couldn't always help, right?
Everyone in the courtyard knew about the Jia family's situation. When the Jia family first arrived, there were also a few crises of running out of food.
Every time, everyone would gather food to help them tide over their difficulties. However, after the Jia family had overcome their difficulties, they had never seen them return food.
One had to know that in these days, every household was short of food. If they gave you a mouthful, their own family would have to eat one less mouthful.
No one was a fool. They could help you once or twice, but they couldn't always help you, right? Jia Qiankun's family isn't the only one lacking food.
Why did your Jia Qiankun family need the courtyard's relief every time?
"First Master, it's not that we don't want to help, but it's really not easy for everyone. Who doesn't lack food these days? We have two kids at home too.”
The second uncle, Yan Fugui, stood up at this moment. As the most stingy person in the entire Siheyuan, he was very distressed about his family's food.
Usually, his family would eat cornbread every day, saving some food from the gaps between their teeth. Now that he wanted to give it to Jia Qiankun's family, would he agree?
In the past, in order to maintain his position in the courtyard, he had taken the lead to donate food a few times. However, after so many times, he was a little unhappy.
Yan Fugui understood that the Jia family was a bottomless pit. No matter how much food you had, it would not be enough to fill it.
"That's right. It's the end of the month. Other than you, who else in this courtyard has surplus food?”
"That's right. Our own family is short of food. We can't let ourselves starve just to help Jia Qiankun's family, right?”
"Yes, yes. In this courtyard, other than the second vendor and Xu Damao, who doesn't have children? We can't starve our own children just to prevent the Jia family's children from starving, right?”
When the crowd saw that the second uncle was taking the lead, they immediately made their own voices. No one wanted to take out their own food.
If Wang Dahai wanted to be a good person, he had nothing to say. He was benevolent, and he had the qualifications to support him. But if you want to help, you can take the food yourself. Don't hold us hostage.
For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with everyone's complaints, and the scene was a little chaotic.
"Alright, stop talking."
Seeing that the situation was starting to get a little chaotic, Wang Dahai shouted loudly to stop everyone's discussion.
"Everyone has seen the situation today. The Jia family is indeed out of food. No matter what, we can't let people starve to death, right? There were so many families in this courtyard. Could it be that they couldn't gather some life-saving food?”
Wang Dahai had a high prestige in the entire courtyard. When everyone saw him flare up, they all quieted down.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Wang Dahai was very satisfied. It seemed that his prestige was still very high.
"Alright, no matter what, everyone should help out this time. Since I started this matter, I'll gather five catties of noodles. Each of you will gather one catty.”
Wang Dahai made the final decision. He did not even discuss with the others. Instead, he ordered everyone to donate one jin of food.
Due to Wang Dahai's prestige, everyone could only nod in agreement. After all, Wang Dahai was the big boss in the courtyard, so he had some prestige.
"Alright, everyone disperse. Later, everyone will send the food to Jia Qiankun's house.”
As he spoke, Wang Dahai waved his hand and drove everyone home to get food.
Then, he led the way back home and began to bring food to Jia Qiankun's family.
Zhou Feng, who had been standing at the side and watching the show, finally saw Wang Dahai's ability to kidnap people.
Originally, people were supposed to donate food voluntarily. However, Wang Dahai had actually forced everyone to donate together in order to be a good person.
If this was really a donation of life-saving food, it would be fine. Zhou Feng would not say anything. After all, he could not just watch people starve to death, right?
However, from everyone's discussion, it was obvious that this was not the first time. Otherwise, everyone would not have been so resistant when they heard that they were going to donate food to the Jia family.
It seemed that this scene of beating his wife early in the morning was not the first or second time.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhou Feng walked over to his cousin, Second Merchant. Second Merchant was still standing there, staring at Qin Huairu, who had left in a daze.
Zhou Feng shook his head when he saw the second peddler. It seemed that his cousin had fallen a little too deep.
If Qin Huiru was single, Zhou Feng would not have said anything. However, Qin Huiru was obviously someone from a family.
"Don't look anymore. He's already far away.”
Zhou Feng patted Second Merchant's shoulder and woke him up from his daze.
"I say, what's going on today? What was going on so early in the morning?”
Although Zhou Feng had been watching the show from the side for a long time, he would not say anything now. Otherwise, wouldn't he expose himself?
