NOVEL NEXT Chapter 263
The two sides of the river were in chaos, and the two sides were in chaos.
Yan Bugui knew that Yi Zhonghai deliberately asked everyone to donate to Jia Dongxu in order not to spend money this time. He slowly took off his glasses and wiped them with his clothes, squinting his eyes and cursing, "Yi Zhonghai, this stinky and shameless thing."
Yi Zhonghai just nodded silently, expressing his support for Liu Haizhong's opinion.
At this time, Liu Haizhong straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, looked at the people in the yard, and had a smug smile on his lips.
He cleared his throat and said in a dignified tone: "Everyone, be quiet. Now that everyone is here, let me and the third uncle talk about one thing! I hope everyone can listen carefully." After speaking, Liu Haizhong paused, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I believe everyone has seen that Jia Dongxu lost all his family savings because of gambling. Not only that, he also owed a huge gambling debt. If he can't repay it in time... So, as neighbors in the courtyard, we should carry forward the spirit of mutual help and help Jia Dongxu get through this difficult time together..." Then he talked a lot. Hearing this, everyone instantly understood what Liu Haizhong meant. This is Jia Dongxu can't pay off his gambling debts, so he wants everyone to raise money to pay his gambling debts. In an instant, everyone in the courtyard showed a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, and everyone began to talk about it. "Why do you want us to donate money? It's not our gambling debt." One person said indignantly. Another person immediately agreed: "That's right! Second uncle, Jia Dongxu owes gambling debts, why should we donate to him to pay off his debts? Besides, what if there is a next time! If he loses money in gambling, will he still ask us to help him pay off his debts?"
"That's right, Second uncle, you also said that it is a huge gambling debt. Do you think ordinary people like us can afford it?"
"Yes! How can it be justified? Our money is also blown by the wind. Why should we pay off his gambling debts? There is no such reason."
"..."
Everyone talked one after another, and the yard suddenly became noisy.
Everyone talked one after another, and the yard suddenly became noisy.
Listening to the opposition of everyone, Liu Haizhong was not angry at all, because he didn't want to donate money either. He just squinted his eyes, held back his smile, and stood aside without saying anything.
Yan Bugui also narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai, saying helplessly: "Old Yi! You have also seen that everyone is against donations now. Look at this matter. How can we..."
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but frown when he heard Yan Bugui's words and the voices of opposition from everyone. He waved his hand impatiently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He looked at the people in the yard, his eyes flickered with a faint light, and said: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me. Our courtyard has always helped each other! This is called unity!"
Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone gradually quieted down, and then continued to persuade: "We are all neighbors, and it is right to help each other!
Now that Jia Dongxu is in trouble, how can we stand idly by? If your family encounters such a thing one day, don't you also hope that others will help you, right?"
As soon as Yi Zhonghai said this, everyone was silent. Everyone looked at each other, and didn't know how to refute Yi Zhonghai's words.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but smile. All these years of brainwashing still worked, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Uncle Yi! You can't say that!" Xu Damao stood up with a gloating look on his face. He was beaten by Jia Dongxu yesterday and paid five yuan. Today was a good time to vent his anger.
As a result, his pride was broken by Xu Damao's mockery in less than a second. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned black.
Xu Damao snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Oh, Jia Dongxu has a gambling addiction, and it's not a one-day thing. Ask everyone in the courtyard, who doesn't know it? You are the only one who hasn't heard of it!"
Everyone started to talk again, and Yi Zhonghai's face became more and more ugly. He knew he was in the wrong, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "Everyone, stop arguing and listen to me. Dongxu was wrong this time, but now he has realized his mistake.
Besides, we neighbors should support each other and give him more opportunities. Moreover, I believe that after this incident, he will definitely change.
”
However, the crowd did not buy it, and one person retorted: "Uncle Yi, what you said is not right. Who has the time to help him correct his mistakes? We are not his mother Jia Zhangshi. Let Jia Zhangshi, the shrew, come back to take care of her son!"
Xu Damao also jumped out again, snorting: "Yes! Uncle Yi, you are wrong. Even if we help him pay off his gambling debts this time, what about the future? Will he go to gamble again and owe a lot of debts again?
What should we do? Does he pretend to be pitiful every time he owes a debt and ask us to help him pay it back!"
"Although we are all neighbors living in the courtyard, as you said, we should help each other, but we also have to distinguish what things are! Also, there is no reason to let neighbors help him with his gambling debts!"
After speaking, Xu Damao crossed his arms and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile on his face.
Xu Damao's words were echoed by many people, and they all expressed their agreement.
"Yes! Uncle Yi, we can't keep cleaning up Jia Dongxu's mess! Who can bear this? Besides, everyone's family lives a tight life, how can we have money to pay his gambling debts? Anyway, my family has no money. "
"That's right, Uncle Yi, we are not rich people, every penny in the family is hard-earned money, why should we help Jia Dongxu pay back the debts!" Yan Jiecheng also said.
"Uncle Yi, please stop talking, there is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
"That's right! Uncle Yi, Jia Dongxu is your apprentice. If you want to meddle in other people's business and help Jia Dongxu pay off his gambling debts, we can't control it, but don't drag us into it, and this matter has nothing to do with us, right?"
"Humph, what are you talking about! Uncle Yi, you are not a big boss now, you can't ask us to donate, right? "After saying that, Liu Guangtian also chuckled.
When Liu Haizhong heard Liu Guangtian bullying Yi Zhonghai, he smiled at him, which made Liu Guangtian very happy. It seemed that his father was very happy today and he should not be beaten.
Yi Zhonghai was very annoyed when he saw the firm attitude of the crowd, but he could not get angry. After all, he was not the big boss in the courtyard anymore and he had no prestige over them.
So now these people dared to talk to him like this. It seemed that he had to quickly restore his status as a big boss, otherwise people in the courtyard would not listen to him.
