Chapter 91: Continue to slap Yi Zhonghai in the face (Second update)
Yi Zhonghai had expected Xu Damao not to attend the dinner in the hospital. After all, he had not attended it in the previous two years.
He answered readily: "Forget it if I don't have time..."
"What about the other residents?"
"If you have no objection, come to me and pay the money after the meeting!"
"I have a different opinion!" Wang Dong stood up at the last moment.
"With half a pound of food coupons per person and fifty cents, you can almost buy half a pound of pork at the pigeon market. Wouldn't it be nice to cook it at home?"
"If we eat them together in the yard, we won't get as much as we do at home!"
Yi Zhonghai felt that he had found an opportunity to unite with the other two masters in the courtyard to suppress Wang Dong. He frowned and said unhappily...
“Wang Dong…”
"You mean that the three of us embezzled the dinner fees that everyone handed in..."
Wang Dong shook his head and replied: "An old man..."
"When did I ever say this? Don't slander me!"
After hearing Yi Zhonghai's question, Liu Haizhong looked at Wang Dong with a hint of dissatisfaction.
After listening to Wang Dong's explanation, he suddenly realized.
Yi Zhonghai wanted to use me and the third uncle as pawns. If Wang Dong hadn't spoken in time, I would have almost been fooled.
Then he stared at Yi Zhonghai, watching how he would continue to use him as a gun.
Yi Zhonghai was indeed the elder in the courtyard. He seemed not to have heard Wang Dong's rebuttal and continued according to his own thoughts and ideas: "Then why do you say that everyone eats less meat at the dinner party than at home!"
Wang Dong was not worried about offending some people in the courtyard, and said bluntly: "It's just that some people in the courtyard are too shameless!"
"Eating is like snatching food, eating all the meat that should belong to everyone into your own stomach!"
As soon as Wang Dong finished speaking, the residents in the courtyard focused their attention on the Jia family as if they had discussed it beforehand, making Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu blush.
As for Jia Zhang, she was not affected by these gazes at all.
In her eyes, face is not as important as having a full stomach.
As long as he can eat meat, it’s no big deal if it’s embarrassing.
Yi Zhonghai also heard the hidden meaning in Wang Dong's words and wanted to say a few words on behalf of the Jia family.
The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.
Jia Zhang's rogue behavior at the dinner table is well known, and I can't exonerate him with just a few words.
Even he himself has experienced it more than once.
In addition to the whole courtyard dinner, for several consecutive years, the Yi family, the Jia family, the deaf old lady, and the He family all gathered at the uncle's house to celebrate the New Year!
A few meat dishes were served on the table, but Jia Zhang and Bang Geng ate them up before anyone could even take two bites, leaving everyone with only a few side dishes and drinks.
Jia Zhang is Jia Dongxu's mother, and Banggeng is Jia Dongxu's son. In order to avoid a rift between himself and Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai could only pretend not to see it, but he was always angry in his heart.
In this situation, he had no way of speaking to Jia Zhangshi at all.
It's impossible that you can just close your eyes and tell lies!
He had already lost face in the whole courtyard meeting. If he continued to lie for Jia Zhang, he would lose even more face and prestige in the courtyard.
Wang Dong did not intend to give Yi Zhonghai a chance to speak for Jia Zhangshi, and continued: "I don't want to give away the pork I worked so hard to buy to others for nothing!"
"So the Chen family and I will not participate in this hospital-wide dinner!"
"For five of us, we can have a good meal at home with 2.5 yuan and 2.5 kilograms of food coupons. There is no need to fight with others for meat at a dinner party."
Third uncle Yan Fugui also didn't want to attend such a gathering.
There are six people in his family, and they have to pay three yuan and three kilograms of food coupons... Even if they only have one meat dish for each meal, the money and coupons added up are enough for the Yan family to have three meals.
As a result, I was so upset after attending the dinner with the whole hospital. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel sorry for him.
Seeing Wang Dong and Xu Damao refusing to attend the whole courtyard party, he stood up and said, "The Yan family won't attend either!" "Three yuan plus three kilograms of food coupons are enough for the Yan family to eat several meals... It's just one meal at the party, and we in the Yan family don't have the conditions for that!"
Grandma Wang from the front yard replied, "My family is in financial difficulty..."
"Let alone 50 cents per person for half a pound of food coupons, even 20 cents per person is hard to come by..."
"My family won't participate in this dinner party!"
After a while, except for the He and Jia families who did not speak up, all the other residents refused to attend the dinner.
Yi Zhonghai had intended to restore his prestige in Siheyuan through this dinner party, but he did not expect that no one would participate in the dinner party simply because of Wang Dong's refusal.
If there is no audience, there is no point in working so hard to play a good guy.
Then he replied angrily: "Since no one wants to participate..."
"Then forget about this dinner party!"
Now it's Jia Zhang's turn to quit?
If the whole hospital is not having a dinner together, how can you take advantage of it and eat meat? Stand up and refute it immediately!
"Lao Yi..."
"Other people in the courtyard will not participate..."
"We, the Jia family, will participate..."
"With the He family, the two of you can just make up a table..."
"Old Yi, you go buy the groceries. Sha Zhu will cook. Let's have a meal before the New Year!"
When Yi Zhonghai heard what Jia Zhang said, he knew that she wanted to get something for free again.
I was definitely unwilling and didn’t want to suffer this loss, so I immediately refused: “No one wants to participate…”
"What's the point of just the three of us..."
"It's enough for us to spend the New Year together, so forget about the New Year's Eve dinner."
Yi Zhonghai had something in his mind that he hadn't said out loud: If the three families really got together for a meal, I would have to pay for it and do the work, but in the end all the meat I bought would end up in the Jia family's stomach. I'm not stupid, why should I do such thankless work!
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had made up his mind, although Jia Zhang was disappointed, she did not dare to say anything more. She could only pout and retreat to her seat.
Yi Zhonghai continued: "Everyone doesn't want to have a meal together... We must attend the group party in our courtyard..."
After he finished speaking, he made a decision without waiting for anyone to speak: "On the first day of the first lunar month at 10 a.m., all the people in the courtyard will hold a group meeting in the middle courtyard to wish each other a happy new year, and by the way, wish the deaf old lady a happy new year!"
"She is the ancestor of our courtyard. We can forget about anything else during the New Year, but we can't forget about her during the blockade..."
Yi Zhonghai thought that once he pushed the deaf old lady out, the matter was settled.
By then, with the help of the deaf old lady, I will be able to restore my prestige in the hospital.
As a result, Wang Dong, the last person Yi Zhonghai wanted to see, stood up again: "Uncle..."
"I don't have any ancestors in the courtyard..."
"On the first day of the first lunar month, I will pay New Year's greetings to my elders!"
"As for the neighbors in the yard..."
"When I return to the courtyard, I will definitely go to pay New Year's greetings if I am supposed to, but I will never go to places that I shouldn't go to, even if you kill me!"
Seeing that someone in the courtyard had finally taken the lead in opposing the group gathering, Xu Damao immediately stepped forward and said, "I also want to pay New Year's greetings to my own elders! I won't attend the group gathering..."
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The residents in the courtyard were like people who had been injected with chicken blood. They stood up one after another and refused to attend the group party. They gave all kinds of weird reasons. Even Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, who were also uncles, refused to attend.
Not only did it slap Yi Zhonghai in the face, it also slapped the deaf old lady in the face!
