The world started from mixing in the courtyard

Chapter 4: First experience of the whole institute meeting
"Do you want to remarry?"

Jia Zhang's shout was like thunder above Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's heads.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but stare at Qin Huairu. Although Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu were very affectionate, and Qin Huairu was usually obedient to Jia Zhang, and seemed to be a kind-hearted, dutiful and polite person, but the human heart was unpredictable after all!
Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, the burden of the family falls entirely on Qin Huairu. Who knows what she is thinking.

Qin Huairu's body trembled as if she was hit by a heavy hammer, and then she knelt on the ground with a plop, directly knocking down with her belly sticking out, crying, "Mom, how could you think of me like this? If I, Qin Huairu, have the slightest thought of remarrying, I will be struck by lightning!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but look at Qin Huairu eagerly. This girl dared to make such a vicious oath, it must be not just a casual oath. In his heart, he looked up to Qin Huairu even more.

Jia Zhang hummed twice without commenting, and said again: "Okay, since you haven't moved, then you must agree to what I said just now! You have to prove that you can help Dongxu protect this family!"

When these words came out, Yi Zhonghai felt that it was too much, but he could understand it. It was just that Qin Huairu was still pregnant... He sighed helplessly.

Qin Huairu raised her head and said tearfully, "Mom, I, I agreed."

"but I……"

Qin Huairu looked around as she spoke. She had married into the city from the countryside, and apart from the courtyard and the surrounding area, she could not find any way to make money. Suddenly, she turned around and cried, "Uncle, Dongxu is your apprentice, you must help me!"

"I have discussed this with my mother before. We will use the recruitment quota ourselves. As soon as my belly comes out after the Chinese New Year, I will go to the steel mill to work! In the next six months or so, while I am still not too heavy, I will go to the street office to find something to do. I'll leave the rest to you!"

"I kowtow to you!"

As she said that, Qin Huairu kowtowed to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's face looked extremely ugly. After all, he was not Jia Dongxu's biological father. He had now accepted the fact that the old man had died before him.

For more than six months, the old and young pregnant woman depends entirely on him?
He looked at Jia Zhang sullenly.

Jia Zhang hugged the stick, saying nothing and not looking at him, as if she was in a trance.

"How can I handle this alone? Six months is not a short time." Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu raise her head and was about to speak, so he quickly said, "How about this, I will hold a meeting of the whole hospital and mobilize the neighbors to donate some money first, and let's get through this now, and we can worry about the future later!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai quickly pushed the door open and walked out.

"What a pity. I don't know what they said. I didn't get to eat the melon." He Yuzhu had been staring at the gate of the Jia family. When he saw Yi Zhonghai coming out with a dark face, he was obviously in a worse mood.

Then He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai looking at him and nodded slightly.

He Yuzhu felt that Yi Zhonghai expressed something, but he didn't understand it at all.

Then Yi Zhonghai strode up to Liu Haizhong and said a few words. Liu Haizhong raised his voice and shouted, "It's time for a meeting of the whole institute! It's time for a meeting of the whole institute!"

When everyone heard the call, they all walked over.

He Yuzhu was startled and blurted out: "Damn, I'm going to donate money to the Jia family!"

But there was no choice, He Yuzhu had to follow the crowd.

Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui were sitting opposite each other, looking like leaders. When almost everyone had arrived, Liu Haizhong stood up, patted the table twice, and then began to speak as the host: "As you all have seen today, comrade Jia Dongxu from our courtyard left us early, but he left behind a family of old and young, orphans and widows, which is very pitiful, so we should help them, right?"

"But how can we help? Now let's invite a respected elder in our hospital to speak!"

After that, Liu Haizhong sat down and Yi Zhonghai stood up. Compared with Liu Haizhong's frivolous and arrogant speech, Yi Zhonghai was quite dignified, with a sad face, and even his voice was low and sad: "I don't need to introduce the situation of the Jia family in detail, everyone can see it at a glance."

"Our courtyard has always been a civilized courtyard of solidarity, friendship, mutual assistance, and everyone is like a family. When a family member encounters such misfortune, we must lend a helping hand!"

"I! As the eldest uncle in the courtyard and Dongxu's master, I have an obligation to do so!"

"I won't say anything else. I'll just express my stance first—"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Uncle, remember, I, Yi Zhonghai, donated fifty yuan!"

As soon as the words fell, many people in the audience opened their mouths wide!

There had been donations in the past, but Yi Zhonghai only gave five or ten yuan. This time he actually took out fifty yuan, and everyone was stunned.

But before everyone could discuss, Qin Huairu in white stepped out from the crowd and bowed deeply to Yi Zhonghai: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, master." Then she turned around and looked at the others, bowing deeply, "Thank you, thank you..."

When everyone saw this scene, they were speechless, as Jia Dongxu's coffin was still in the yard.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu felt Yi Zhonghai's gaze and finally realized that this old man was waiting for him here!
Let yourself be the first to do so?
But he was not a fool, so he just stared at Yi Zhonghai with a stunned expression, then stretched out his arm, gave Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up, and nodded to show his approval and admiration.

Then, he clearly saw Yi Zhonghai's body shake.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong felt a little pain, but he didn't want to lose face, so he shouted: "I'll donate 20 yuan!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Bugui gnashed his teeth until they were about to break, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "As for me, my family is burdened with heavy expenses, and everyone can see that I will donate five, five yuan..."

Led by the three old men, others also began to announce the amount of their donations.

Some paid one yuan, some paid fifty cents, some paid two yuan, and the highest amount even came from one household which was eight yuan, which was more than the third uncle.

He Yuzhu also followed the crowd and donated two yuan, which was neither too much nor too little.

But when He Yuzhu said the amount, Yi Zhonghai got angry. This brat, it would have been fine if he hadn't promoted him just now, but now he only donated such a small amount of money.

"Wait a minute, Old Yan, don't worry about Zhuzi yet, I have something to say to him!" Yi Zhonghai pulled He Yuzhu, walked a few steps to the corner, and asked angrily: "Zhuzi, why did you donate so little?"

He Yuzhu said calmly: "It's not a small amount. Two dollars can buy a lot of things!"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned, and then said, "Your brother Jia is dead, leaving behind Aunt Zhang, Sister Qin, Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and the one in your belly. How are you going to live in the future? Two dollars is too much? You should have donated at least thirty! Do you know that?"
