Chapter 261 Theft, Severe Punishment

Chapter 261 Theft, Severe Punishment
"I'll donate two yuan."

"I'll donate a piece."

“I’ll donate three dollars.”

"I'll donate two yuan."

"..."

It's just a few dollars. It won't have much impact on any family now, because a few dollars can't buy much food.

The most expensive thing now is, of course, food. The prices of other commodities are not high, and are even cheaper than before.

After all the donations were made, Director Xu asked, "Are there any more donations? If not, then the donation will end."

"I'll donate ten dollars." Cheng Qiaoyun stood up and said.

"Qiao Yun, you just..." Director Xu was just about to say that you don't have to donate.

But before she could finish her words, Cheng Qiaoyun put ten yuan into the donation box.

"Qiao Yun, you..."

Others may not know the situation of Cheng Qiaoyun's family, but Director Xu must know it. A woman not only has to support her sick parents-in-law, but also a pair of children.

You can imagine how difficult it is. Let's put it this way! In the entire No. 7 Courtyard, it is estimated that no one has a harder life than her.

But Cheng Qiaoyun still donated money, and donated ten yuan. This was definitely not a pretense, but a token of her concern for the disaster area.

"I'll donate ten dollars too!" Widow Xu said, standing up.

"Xu..."

"Director, I know what you want to say, but I have to donate this money. At most, I can eat less."

"Okay." Director Xu looked at Widow Xu's determined eyes and nodded.

After Widow Xu put the money into the donation box, Cripple Sun also stood up, holding ten yuan in his hand, and limped to the eight-immortals table.

"Director Xu, our family is poor and we can't afford that much money. I'll donate ten yuan too!"

"Old Sun, you..." Director Xu felt a little ashamed!
There are three poor families in this courtyard, and these three poor families are Cheng Qiaoyun's family, Xu Guafu's family and Sun Qiezi's family.

The three needy families each donated ten yuan, while those who did not meet the criteria for needy families donated only one or two yuan, and some did not even donate a dime.

According to Cheng Qiaoyun's salary standard, her family did not qualify as a poor household, but because they became poor due to illness, they were rated as a poor household.

At this time, most people in the hospital looked at the few families who did not donate money, including Li Jiayi.

Yes, Li Jiayi hasn’t donated yet.

In addition, the Shi family did not donate. His family was not a poor family. The poor family was calculated based on having a capital city household registration, and the average per capita income per month was less than five yuan.

In their family, only Shi Shangfei has a hukou in the capital, but Shi Shangfei earns a high salary.

Even though all of their family members have registered residence in the imperial capital, they are still far beyond the poverty line.

"Anything else?" Director Xu asked again.

Seeing that no one else stood up, Li Jiayi threw the melon seeds in his hand into the plate, stood up and clapped his hands.

He walked to the eight-immortal table, took out a handful of money from his pocket, counted out two hundred and put them on the table, and said, "Li Jiayi donated two hundred."

Without waiting for Secretary Niu to record, Li Jiayi counted out another hundred and put it on the eight-immortal table and said, "Li Aimin donated one hundred."

Then he counted out a hundred and said, "Ye Xin donated one hundred."

He looked up at Officer Niu and saw that he hadn't moved, so he said, "Officer Niu, why don't you remember?"

"Well, I'll remember it after you donate it! It's more convenient this way."

"No, everyone in our family is an individual. There is no need to remember them all together. Just remember them as I say."

"This..." Secretary Niu turned his head and glanced at Director Xu.

Director Xu nodded to him.

Secretary Niu then smiled and said to Li Jiayi: "Okay, I'll record it right away."

Then Li Jiayi counted out another hundred and placed them on the Eight Immortals Table and said, "Li Jiaqi donated one hundred."

He then put the remaining money on the eight-immortals table and said, "Li Jialin donated one hundred."

He had already prepared the six hundred yuan, and he had no intention of donating it all in his own name.

That would be too conspicuous. As for saying it is by family, that is not possible because donations are made by family.

If the donation slip stated that Li Aimin's family donated 600 yuan, it would also be eye-catching.

This is just right now. He has 200 yuan himself because there are already two donations of 200 yuan each.

Even if Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen donated more than 300 yuan later, they would still be ranked ahead of him.

And donations! Of course, it is everyone's intention.

"What are you doing?" Director Xu asked.

"Director Xu, isn't donation everyone's intention? Just like Uncle Liao donated just now, Aunt Wenwen donated again."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Director Xu thought about it and realized that it was true. Who said that a husband cannot donate after his wife has donated?

"Okay!" Director Xu nodded.

"Secretary Niu, have you finished memorizing?"

"I've finished writing it down, Director."

"Okay, then let's talk about the second part of today's meeting..."

"Wait." Eldest sister Li Jiaqi came out from the Moon Gate.

"Jiaqi, what do you want?" Director Xu asked.

How could Director Xu not know Li Jiaqi? You know, Director Xu is also a frequent visitor to the Li Jia family!
"Director Xu, this is my pocket money. I want to donate it to the disaster area."

"Uh! Jiaqi, your brother has already donated for you just now."

Hearing Director Xu say this, Li Jiaqi glanced at Li Jiayi. This was something she had not expected.

But it doesn't matter. She took out her pocket money and it was a token of her thoughtfulness.

"It's okay, just consider it as an extra donation!" "Okay!" Director Xu nodded and asked, "How much is this?"

"Sixty-three dollars and fifty-three cents."

When Director Xu heard this number, he knew that Li Jiaqi had donated all the money he had.

Li Jiayi often gave Li Jiaqi pocket money, but Li Jiaqi seldom took it.

In her words, there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, and there are all kinds of snacks, so there is no need to spend any money at all.

Needless to say, what she took out now were all saved up before, and she took them all out this time.

"Okay, Mr. Niu, add sixty-three dollars and fifty-three cents to Li Jiaqi's salary."

"Good director."

"Then I'm going back, Director."

"Ok!"

After Li Jiaqi left, Director Xu said, "Now let's talk about the second issue of today's meeting."

"second question?"

Many people were confused, only Li Jiayi had a vague feeling that something was going on, but he was not sure.

"Recently, there have been many thefts in our area. I hope everyone will be more careful. If you need to go out and no one is at home, be sure to lock the doors and windows."

Hearing what Director Xu said, Li Jiayi thought to himself: As expected.

He also looked towards the Shi family, but unfortunately, only Shi Shangfei, Shi Zhenshi and Tao Huiyun came out for the meeting, and there was no sign of Shi Datiao.

Li Jiayi was 100% sure that this matter was related to Shi Datiao.

"Also, I want to remind everyone that although the thefts that have occurred are all about food, don't forget that food is more valuable than anything else right now."

"Yes, if it were my house, I would rather have my money stolen than have my food stolen."

"Yes! The food was stolen, and there was no place to buy it. The thief was so despicable."

"If someone catches this, he'll be beaten half to death."

"Yes."

"So I also hope that the people in the hospital can control their hands. If you are caught for this, it will not be as simple as a beating. You may even be beaten with peanuts."

Director Xu is definitely not exaggerating. What time is it now? It's a disaster year!

The more times come, the more severe the punishments need to be. This is no joke.

Because food is closely related to everyone, I guess when the case goes to court and the judge hears that it is food theft, he will definitely use severe punishment.

"Director Xu, don't worry! No one in our hospital would do this." Peng Zhanquan stood up and said.

"Yeah! I hope so. Well, today's meeting ends here. We still have other compounds to go to."

"Director Xu, take care."

"Director Niu, take care."

"..."

After Director Xu and the others left, Li Jiayi also carried a bamboo chair and a small coffee table and walked home.

"Add one, let me get it for you!"

"No need, Uncle Liao, this is not that heavy."

Liao Kai took a look and said, "It's not heavy, but it's hard to carry."

After saying that, he took the coffee table from Li Jiayi.

If there was no large enameled pot, it would be easy indeed, but with an additional large enameled pot, it would be a bit difficult to hold it.

"Thank you, Uncle Liao."

"What's the point of being polite?"

With Liao Kai's help, Li Jiayi returned home quickly.

After putting the things down, Liao Kai asked in a low voice: "Jia Yi, do you think this matter is related to..."

Liao Kai didn't finish his words, but he knew that Li Jiayi definitely understood what he meant.

"There will be no one else but him."

"It seems like I have to be more careful in the future. It's really uncomfortable to have such a thing living in the yard."

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "What can we do? I have a long-term residence certificate now."

"I don't know which wicked person issued the certificate."

"I really don't know about this. Anyway, it was handled by the street office." Li Jiayi shrugged and said.

Yes, if you want to apply for this kind of long-term residence certificate, it must be issued by the receiving place. It is useless if it is issued from other places.

"That's right. When your aunt was unemployed, her long-term residence certificate was issued by the street office, and it was issued by Director Xu. Do you think theirs will also be..."

"No!" Li Jiayi shook his head before Liao Kai finished speaking.

"Ugh! Why?"

"Have you forgotten who brought them back to the countryside? Besides, I don't get along with the Shi family."

"That's right! Even if it was because of you, Director Xu wouldn't issue this certificate."

"Ok!"

In fact, there are several people in the street office who can issue this certificate. Not only the director, but also two deputy directors and several staff members can issue it.

The director can't do everything by himself! If he does that, he won't be able to finish the work even if he dies of exhaustion!
Don't underestimate the street office, there are a lot of things to do every day.

"Forget it, never mind. Just take care of our own family. We can't control anything else." Liao Kai shook his head and said.

 PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
