Chapter 122: Not worthy of being a neighbor
There were many voices at the scene, and many people shouted loudly to get help.
The third uncle no longer dared to nod casually, and looked at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong from time to time, asking them to make up their minds.
The scene was noisy, but Yang Xiaotao sat there quietly.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I said in my heart, "Sure enough!"
This was also the reason why he didn't let Uncle Chen sign up.
During this period, he and Uncle Chen got close, helping each other inside and out. The lives of the two families improved greatly, which naturally made the caring people in the courtyard jealous.
On weekdays, Aunt Chen also hears a lot of gossip when she visits people on the street.
Yang Xiaotao also heard envious sounds in the yard more than once.
These people just want others to help. Although no one dares to take his ideas, what these people have in mind is not simple.
Because it was proposed for the first time last year, everyone was waiting and watching. Some people were even embarrassed to come forward because of face issues.
But this year is different. With Yang Xiaotao's proofing, life has really improved. This time, anyone with some ideas has come forward.
Just when Yang Xiaotao came to his senses, four more people stood up on the scene. They were all people in the courtyard who were not as good as those above but more than enough.
In the crowd, Shazhu looked at the excitement, smiled silly, and wanted to get involved.
Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled to his seat by the aunt on the side. He could only put his hands in his sleeves and continue watching the fun.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were sitting together in the back. The two were close to each other. Xu Damao took the opportunity to explain to his wife, his eyes turning to Yang Xiaotao from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, almost everyone had signed up.
The last few families either used the third uncle’s family as a comparison or the Jia family as a standard. Yan Fugui had no idea for a while. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong did not dare to offend anyone, so they had to pass. .
Until the end no one stood up, Yan Fugui wiped his forehead and patted the table, "That's it, there are ten companies in need of help!"
Say it With this number, people around became noisy. Silly Zhu even clasped his fingers and waved to the people on the side, "Come on, one family helps the other, how balanced it is."
Yan Fugui looked at it and felt a little toothache.
With so many people, if they all pass, why don’t half help the other half?
Maybe, this year his family will be in vain again!
Yi Zhonghai looked around and nodded helplessly, then motioned to the second uncle, it's your turn to play.
However, this time the second uncle did not come to join in the fun, he just sat there and said nothing.
Although he was the host last year, things are different now. If you look at it now, will you be criticized?
Liu Haizhong did not participate. The third uncle said that he was involved to avoid suspicion and left it alone.
As the initiator of the conference, Yi Zhonghai could not wait and had no choice but to preside over the meeting himself.
Fortunately, I have had an experience and started the next one according to the process.
“Okay, follow the rules and vote on the applicant families.”
"Except for the families who applied, everyone else will vote by show of hands."
"Those who pass more than half will advance to the next round."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he frowned.
According to the current situation, there are twenty-one households in the entire courtyard, except for the deaf old lady who did not attend, there are ten households in need of help. If these ten families have discussed it, they will have at least eight or nine votes. If two more relatives are brought in, it will be easy to pass half of the votes.
Yi Zhonghai has a headache when he thinks that there may be seven, eight, or even ten families in need of help in the end.
But things have developed to this point and cannot be delayed.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Zhonghai stood up and began to preside over the meeting.
“Now, vote for the Wang family.”
Swipe
A crowd of people raised their hands. The Wang family was a household in difficulty last year. It is obvious to everyone, and they will not do bad things out of conscience. , Yi Zhonghai didn’t need to count, he waved his hand, “Passed!”
"Next, the Zhou family."
Another group of people raised their hands, "Passed."
Yi Zhonghai slowed down his tone, then looked in the direction of the Jia family, "Next, the Jia family Home!”
Jia Zhang was nervous and encouraged those around her to raise their hands.
Some people who could not hold back their feelings raised their hands, and there were many fewer hands than the previous two times.
"Eleven. More than half, passed."
Yi Zhonghai said the final result, and Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, his face full of pride.
Just now she saw that Yang Xiaotao didn't raise his hand, and even the Chen family and Wang Dashan family didn't raise their hands either.
Hmph, these guys are all heartless.
The Jia family passed and soon arrived at the third uncle's house.
Similarly, the third uncle’s family passed.
After that, every family will pass.
Gradually, Yi Zhonghai discovered something was wrong.
It seems that except for the Jia family, every time when voting, everyone in Yang Xiaotao's group will raise their hands, and no one will be left behind.
He looked over there. In addition to the Chen family and Wang Dashan family, there were four families from the steel rolling mill following behind. In this way, Yang Xiaotao alone had six votes, and the rest could be solved with a few helpers. pass.
If this continues, the final result will be that everyone passes.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai interrupted the meeting, raised his head and said to Yang Xiaotao and others.
"The meeting is paused. Let me say a few words."
"Our purpose this time is to help those who really need it. Some people should not make trouble here and lower the requirements for approval. Standard.”
"There are still some people who should not follow the trend and have their own opinions."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Yang Xiaotao and others, and these words were naturally addressed to them.
Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention at all and continued to crack melon seeds, turning a deaf ear to it.
Yi Zhonghai felt that no one listened to what he said, and the people around him didn't take it seriously. He was so angry that he shouted immediately.
"Yang Xiaotao, what about you, did you hear me?"
Yang Xiaotao was still sitting there, but he just raised his head and spat out the melon seed rinds on the ground. There was no need for him to clean the yard anyway, "I heard it, Mr. Master."
"We all understand what you said, don't you just let me Let’s all stop raising our hands. The next few, let’s just stop raising our hands.”
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the remaining three family members immediately looked at Yi Zhonghai. What's the meaning? Are they not allowed to pass?
The calm one just stared at Yi Zhonghai, while the impatient one started to curse.
The Li family's wife in front of them stood up, pointed at Yi Zhonghai and shouted.
"Master, what do you mean? There is no need to bury people like this. Why is our family obsessed with you, and you still want to suppress us?"
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed. He didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to be so difficult to deal with. , he just mentioned it, but he actually transferred the conflict to others.
Dear boy.
“No, I’m not telling them not to raise their hands, but they must at least make their own judgment.”
Yi Zhonghai explained, but the Li family's daughter-in-law disagreed, "What is your own judgment? Why do you just say your own judgment when you come to my house? Could it be that they made a wrong judgment before, but now they are right now?"
" Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean?"
In the end, he directly called Yi Zhonghai's name, which made him feel extremely humiliated.
It's just that at this time, he can't be angry, let alone be familiar with this woman, otherwise he will not only lose his identity and face, but also his prestige.
"I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it."
"The meeting will continue below."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he started directly without giving others a chance to speak.
This time, Yang Xiaotao and the others still raised their hands. Not only that, they also smiled at him, making his hands holding the teapot have blue veins.
Resisting his inner impulse, Yi Zhonghai completed the meeting.
As expected, everyone passed.
Yang Xiaotao continued to sit there and watch the show, and the next thing was the most interesting.
Yi Zhonghai knew that this meeting was a bit difficult. Not only did he know it, but Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui next to him also knew it.
Because of this, the two of them sat quietly on the stool without saying a word.
Yi Zhonghai has no choice. He initiated the meeting, so it must have a beginning and an end.
“Next, if anyone in the courtyard is willing to stand up and help, please raise your hand!”
After the words fell, he raised his hand first.
No way, he has to do this, otherwise there will probably be no one left.
Sure enough, the entire hospital raised one hand.
Yi Zhonghai looked ugly, and then looked at the second uncle Liu Haizhong aside.
Liu Haizhong was restless. He had seen the current situation, but he was thinking in his heart, if he agreed, which company would he choose?
This is something that offends people.
Just before he could figure out how to choose, everyone looked over.
In desperation, Liu Haizhong slowly raised his hand.
"I am also willing to contribute to the compound."
Liu Haizhong said slowly, and anyone could see the reluctance on his face.
The bangs counted as one, and then everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao who was aside.
Contrary to expectations, I thought Yang Xiaotao would readily agree, just like last year.
And people in the courtyard also feel that with Yang Xiaotao's current wealth, it is more than enough to help two families, let alone one family.
However, what surprised them was that Yang Xiaotao was sitting there, cracking melon seeds and smiling at the people around him, but he showed no intention of moving.
One look, two looks.
Yi Zhonghai looked over, Liu Haizhong looked over, and everyone tilted their heads to look over.
Boom, boom, boom
One minute, two minutes.
The courtyard was quiet.
Jia Zhang's boss stared with triangle eyes, Silly Zhu opened his mouth to speak, Xu Damao held Lou Xiao'e to prevent her from getting up, Qin Huairu hugged the stick with hope in her eyes.
Even Uncle Chen and the others on the side were a little uneasy being watched by so many people.
However, Yang Xiaotao didn't realize it, as if he didn't see it.
"Yang Xiaotao, it's your turn!"
Looking at the current situation, Yan Fugui saw that Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, Liu Haizhong didn't speak out, and he, the third uncle, was the only one who spoke.
“What’s my turn?”
Yang Xiaotao asked knowingly, but the third master said angrily, "I said, do you want to sign up?"
"You proposed this matter in the first place, and you also participated in it last year."
"You won't be exempted this year!"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao didn't get up and was still sitting there.
“Third uncle, you said it wrong.”
Everyone was wondering why it was wrong.
But I heard Yang Xiaotao say, "Just because I did it last year, doesn't it mean I have to do it again this year?"
"Third uncle, you have made an empiricist error. Treat it carefully, otherwise if it spreads to the school, you will be criticized.”
"You, don't go online here, I'm asking you, will you repay it?"
Yan Fugui doesn't want to talk nonsense with Yang Xiaotao, but he knows Yang Xiaotao's ability, maybe he can't do it If you say "so and so, let's go to such and such for one dollar", that's just looking for trouble.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao patted the melon seeds on his body and said helplessly, "I want to help, but I am too willing to help."
"It cost a lot of money to pull this wire. He is a big spender and has no money, so he will not participate this year."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he took out another handful of melon seeds from his pocket and continued to crackle them.
"Yang Xiaotao, you have no money? Will you have no money?"
Jia Zhang was so angry that he collected dozens of money from their family alone, plus the stupid Zhu, Xu Damao's family, Yang Xiaotao's net worth is very high, he said he has no money, no one would believe it!
"You are alone, almost fifty every month, you still have the vegetables in the yard, you eat so well, and your life is better than anyone else. Who will believe you when you say you have no money?"
"I think you are. You don’t have a conscience and don’t want to help the needy people in the courtyard.”
“You don’t deserve to live in this compound, and you don’t deserve to be a neighbor.”
Jia Zhang made a fuss. , a proper moral bitch, and a good student of Yi Zhonghai.
