Chapter 51: Digging a Trap for Yi Zhonghai
Chapter 51: Digging a Trap for Yi Zhonghai (First Update)
Faced with Yi Zhonghai's proposal from the moral high ground, Wang Dong, in order not to be isolated by the people in the hospital, absolutely could not confront him head-on and refute him face to face.
Chen Jun became anxious after hearing this.
Subconsciously, he wanted to stand up and explain to everyone: the ear room allocated to Wang Dong by the steel rolling mill was not for Wang Dong to take privately, but was for himself to live in in order to improve the living environment of the Chen family.
But before he could stand up, he was pulled back by Wang Dong.
When I turned around, I saw Wang Dong silently shaking his head at me.
The per capita housing area of the Chen family is about 15 square meters, which is considered good in the entire courtyard.
If the east wing and the ear room are included, the per capita area will exceed 20 square meters, which will definitely attract the envy and jealousy of many people.
If he could not think of a reason to refute Yi Zhonghai's proposal and directly refused, Yi Zhonghai would definitely accuse him of being selfish and unwilling to help his neighbors, and he would be isolated in the courtyard.
So at this time you must not confront Yi Zhonghai head-on.
After all, the other party is standing on the moral high ground, with most of the residents in the yard standing behind him.
Yi Zhonghai had been watching Wang Dong's every move since the whole institute meeting began, and he also saw Wang Dong's action of pulling Chen Jun back.
I was delighted, thinking that I had won the game.
Wang Dong had no choice but to compromise.
Wang Dong walked out confidently under the gaze of everyone: "Uncle..."
"I want to confirm with you..."
"Does the Jia family want to borrow or rent a house from me?"
Before Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai could open their mouths, Jia Zhangshi on the side rushed to answer: "Of course it's borrowed..."
"My Jia family is in such a difficult situation. Dongxu is the only one earning money at the steel mill. How can we have extra money to rent a house..."
An embarrassed expression flashed across Yi Zhonghai's face, but he quickly calmed down and answered Wang Dong's puzzled gaze...
"Dongzi..."
"You are now a regular worker in the steel mill, earning more than 30 yuan a month, so you don't need these little things..."
"Lend the house to the Jia family..."
"You can also gain a good reputation as a neighbor helping each other, so why not do it..."
"I believe that the residents in the courtyard also want to have a courtyard to help the residents next door, rather than being selfish and only thinking about their own residents."
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, a lot of voices of agreement rang out in the Intermediate Courtyard. It was obvious that many people here were envious of the Chen family's housing conditions.
Although he didn't dare to do anything openly, he didn't mind letting Wang Dong suffer some losses on the house so as to find some psychological balance.
Seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai became even more excited.
I feel like I'm sure to win this time.
At this moment, Wang Dong suddenly showed a pitiful expression on his face: "Uncle..."
“Your salary is high…”
“I don’t like the rent…”
"I'm different..."
"Although I work in a steel mill...I earn more than 30 yuan a month..."
"But Uncle Chen has a lumbar injury and needs to take medicine... He also has to support five people in his family. Minus the cost of medicine, the living expenses per person are only six yuan!"
"Just passed the poverty line of the 49th city..."
“At the end of the month, there’s not even enough money to buy meat!”
"You are looking at the Jia family..."
"Brother Jia earns just over 40 yuan a month..."
"Although there are five people in the family, two children are at most one adult..."
"The average cost of living is about ten yuan..."
"You want me, a person who lives on six dollars, to lend my house to people who live on ten dollars per person, and you don't even allow me to collect rent..."
"Then how am I going to live from now on?"
Speaking of which!
Wang Dong decisively walked up to Yi Zhonghai and continued!
"Master..."
"I heard that your salary at the factory is 100 yuan..."
"You and an old lady are spending it together!"
"The average living expenses per person is about fifty yuan..." "It's ten times higher than mine..."
"You are a good person in Siheyuan..."
“I like helping others the most…”
"I can't just watch my family not have a single meal of meat for a month..."
"Can you help the Jia family borrow a house..."
"You can definitely lend me your salary..."
"How about you lend me thirty dollars every month from now on..."
"This way, my family's per capita living expenses can exceed ten yuan!"
"When my salary increases in the future, as long as it is higher than yours, I will pay it back to you immediately..."
Yi Zhonghai was stunned...
Both faces sank at the same time.
It's even darker than the ash at the bottom of the pot.
I didn't expect that after all my scheming, I ended up scheming myself!
Looking at the residents in the courtyard...
Just now they were supporting Wang Dong in borrowing the house, but now they were all looking at him with a mocking expression.
Obviously, what Wang Dong said just now touched everyone's heart.
I am the boss in the yard!
Often boasting about being helpful...
If you can't even help others yourself, how can you expect other people in the hospital to be helpful?
If things go wrong, your prestige in the hospital might even be affected.
For the first time, Yi Zhonghai felt the hardship and pain of being roasted on the fire.
It is definitely not possible to agree to Wang Dong’s proposal to borrow money.
As Wang Dong just said, wait until his salary is higher than mine before changing.
It is almost impossible.
Being a cook in a steel mill, no matter how high the salary is, it will not exceed fifty yuan...
According to what he said just now, if Wang Dong's salary does not exceed his own, he will not have the money to pay him back.
This idea is exactly the same as when he asked Wang Dong to lend the house to the Jia family!
If the steel rolling mill did not allocate a house to the Jia family, then they could continue to live in the ear room in the front yard without having to return it.
This can be considered as a small trap I dug for Wang Dong. I didn't expect that he would use moral blackmail.
Do the opposite and use this little trap on yourself.
Once I agree to Wang Dong's request to borrow money.
If the other party has no conditions to return the money, the thirty yuan salary every month is just a waste of money.
more importantly!
Once this precedent is set, other residents in the courtyard can use the same method to borrow money from me.
At that time, nodding in agreement will not work, and refusing will not work either!
Yi Zhonghai quickly glanced around and saw two residents who were eager to try.
He looks like he's ready to lend me money as long as I nod my head!
Finally, he turned his attention to the second uncle Liu Haizhong, hoping that he could stand up and speak a word for him and help him out of the predicament.
But Yi Zhonghai obviously overestimated his prestige in Siheyuan.
Facing the frustrated Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong was extremely happy. How could he possibly stand up to help him out!
So he has to solve this problem by himself.
His face was full of helplessness...
At the same time, he realized that his dream of getting Wang Dong's house for nothing was impossible to achieve.
Not only that……
After what happened tonight, my prestige in the hospital will be affected again to some extent.
I am earning a high salary of one hundred yuan!
He didn't want the wages to go to waste after lending them out, so he had to refuse Wang Dong's request for a loan, which was tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
After all, he always said that neighbors should help each other, but it didn't work for him.
