After having fun outside for the whole day, the two girls were so happy that they chattered non-stop on the way. As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Yan Fugui informed them that there would be a meeting at night.
Wang Qing didn't ask, thinking that it must be another donation for the Jia family. In the original novel, half of the meeting was for the Jia family.
After dinner, Dashuang and Xiaoshuang went back to their rooms early to sleep after a tiring day. Wang Qing asked Zhang Mei to stay behind to take care of her sister while she went to attend the assembly alone.
In the middle court.
It was still the same as before. Three old men sat at a square table, surrounded by residents and children running around.
"Qingzi, come sit here." Lou Xiao'e waved at Wang Qing.
Wang Qing came to Lou Xiao'e's side and sat down. He greeted Xu Damao,""Brother Da Mao."
Xu Damao knew that ever since Wang Qing's family moved in, they had never stopped eating meat. Qin Huairu did not come back to ask for meat the last time. Moreover, Lou Xiao'e and Wang Qing's younger sister had a particularly good relationship, so he was willing to befriend Wang Qing.
Of course, the premise was that it did not threaten his interests. Otherwise, even the king of heaven would not be able to do it.
Wang Qing didn't have any bad feelings towards Xu Damao. In the original novel, Xu Damao didn't ruin anyone's plans except for going against Silly Zhu. He only went overboard with Lou Xiao'e. However, in that era, how many fathers and sons turned against each other?
Of course, Xu Damao was really bad, but Xu Damao should not provoke him. Otherwise, he would be punished.
Yi Zhonghai coughed and said," It's almost time for everyone to come. Let me say something. Our quad has always been an outstanding quad and we've always helped each other. The Qin Huairu family's orphans and widows are having a hard time and can't make it through. I suggest donating money to her family to help her tide over her difficulties.”
" Old Yi is right," Liu Haizhong said." Our quad should be united and help each other. I'll pay ten yuan."”
Everyone's heart ached. No one was rich these days. They were all quite difficult. They were not willing to donate, but they were not willing to do so. Otherwise, they would not have a good time in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai's lips curled up slightly." I'm the one with the highest salary in the department. I'll pay you 20 yuan."”
Qin Huairu bowed and said," Thank you for your help, everyone. I will definitely remember your kindness."”
Hearing this, Silly Pillar also took out a large piece of paper and said: ""I'll bid ten too."
Yan Fugui held back his heartache and said," You guys know that my family of six depends on me for 27.50 yuan. I'll pay one yuan."”
Then, everyone took out their money. When it was Xu Damao's turn, he said,"I'll pay one piece."
"Xu Damao, your family is good, why are you so stingy?"”
"You think I'm you?" Xu Damao said angrily.”
"Bullsh * t, Xu Damao, you grandson (4), are you looking for a beating?”As he spoke, Silly Pillar was about to step forward.
Xu Damao shrunk his neck and immediately retreated. Yi Zhonghai stopped Shazhu and said,""Zhu Zi, don't mess around."
"Xu Damao, you grandson, just you wait. I'll deal with you sooner or later.”Silly Zhu said viciously.
At this moment, only Wang Qing remained undonated. Qin Huairu looked at Wang Qing with her large, watery eyes. Wang Qing frowned and said,""Gentlemen, is the donation voluntary?”
" Of course," Yi Zhonghai nodded." It's all voluntary."”
Wang Qing nodded." That's fine. I won't donate. My family doesn't have enough to spend."”
Qin Huairu looked at Wang Qing with teary eyes, as if she would be letting her down if she didn't donate money. This made Wang Qing feel extremely disgusted.
Jia Zhang-shi was immediately annoyed. She glared at him and said,""Everyone has donated. Why don't you donate?”
Wang Qing originally didn't want to deal with the Jia family as long as he didn't donate money. He didn't expect the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be like this, so he sneered and said,"Just because your family doesn't lack food or money.”
"Bullshit! Everyone knows how difficult it is for my family.”Jia Zhangshi roared.
The people in the courtyard were also discussing animatedly. Wang Qing smiled and said,"You say that your family is poor, but look at your child and yourself. You're almost as fat as a ball. Look at the children of other families.”
Everyone came back to their senses when they heard this. It wasn't that Jia Zhang-shi was fair and fat, and the three children's faces were also chubby. When they saw their own children's pale faces, they wanted to slap themselves on the spot.
Jia Zhang-shi's embarrassment turned into anger when she was exposed. She rushed over to Wang Qing," You little bastard, you're talking nonsense. I'll scratch you to death!"”
With a slap, Wang Qing slapped Jia Zhang-shi's mouth, causing her to spin around. She coldly said,"Old bastard, who are you talking about?"
"Wang Qing, why did you hit me?" Yi Zhonghai stood up and berated.
"Master Yi, your butt is crooked. Didn't you hear what she was scolding? Moreover, she was the one who attacked first.”Wang Qing retorted.
"You…You can't hit an old man. We always respect the old and love the young.”
"Old man? I didn't see it, I only saw an old bastard!”
Jia Zhang-shi recovered her strength and immediately sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum: "Old Merchant, why did you leave us alone and leave us to be bullied…?”
Qin Huairu looked at Wang Qing with an aggrieved expression.""Qingzi, this is my mother-in-law's fault, but you can't hit her.”
Jia Zhangshi immediately said,"Yes, call the police and beat up the old man."”
Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice," No matter what, you can't hit an old man. We have always respected the old and loved the young. Wang Qing, apologize immediately and compensate the Jia family for their medical expenses."”
Wang Qing laughed out loud when he heard that." Master Yi, I was acting in self-defense. It was Jia Zhangshi who made the first move. If you want to call the police, then call the police. Moreover, Jia Zhangshi is also promoting superstition. When the time comes, it's still uncertain who will be arrested.”
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened. He didn't expect Wang Qing, a villager, to know the law. He was speechless.
Liu Haizhong came out at this time and said," Qingzi, don't call the police for everything and affect the unity of the courtyard. If there's anything, we should settle it in the courtyard. Otherwise, it will affect our advance into the Siheyuan."”
Silly Zhu also said,"Qingzi, forgive people when you can. Don't lower yourself to Granny Jia's level."”
Wang Qing nodded and said,"Brother Zhu Zi, I'll give you face. If Jia Zhang-shi curses again, I'll slap her."”
Silly Zhu immediately felt that Wang Qing was giving him face and gave him a thumbs up,""You're manly enough."
Wang Qing was trying to dig a hole for Qin Huiru by doing this. When the time came, without Silly Zhu's support, he would see how they would cry.
Liu Haizhong continued," Qingzi, you said that you earned more than 200 yuan from selling pigs a few days ago. What's wrong with donating some money to the Jia family? I think it's just 10 yuan."”
When Wang Qing heard this, he was so angry that he laughed. This Liu Hai really felt good about himself, so he retorted,"Second Uncle, my family bought so many things for free. That 200 yuan has long been spent.”
How could Liu Haizhong be willing to pay up? He snorted coldly and sat down without saying anything. Today, Wang Qing had embarrassed him, so he hated Wang Qing.
Seeing that Wang Qing was not donating, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to say,""Donations are voluntary. Since Wang Qing doesn't want to donate, then the meeting is over.”
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have donated."
"That's true. Looking at Jia Zhangshi and the three little ones, then looking at my son, I want to slap myself.”
"Yes, yes, I won't donate again next time. We've donated a lot of money to the Jia family over the years.”
"It's all because of First Master's instigation. He's Jia Dongxu's master. How can he not side with the Jia family?”
"Shh."
Yi Zhonghai was speechless.
Now that Qin Huairu and her family's mask had been torn apart, everyone understood. When they thought about how Jia Dongxu had received a pension when he died, and how they still had a sewing machine at home, they didn't need anyone to help them out. Some things were clear at first glance, and everyone came back to their senses.
