Chapter 493: A meeting is held, who will take in the Jia family
Jia family.
After getting Jia Zhang's private money, Jia Dongxu took the money and went out to find craftsmen to repair the cracks in the house and the several large holes in the roof.
Qin Huairu looked at the messy house and said, "It's already like this. It's not safe to live here. We have to move to another place. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if it collapses."
After careful consideration, Qin Huairu twisted her butt and walked towards the Yi family.
"Uncle Yi."
"Xiao Qin, is there anything wrong?" When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu coming, his attitude was much better than Jia Dongxu's.
"Uncle Yi, this is what's going on. You can see that our house is in such a bad condition that no one can stay here. I would like to trouble you to hold a meeting to see which family can let us stay for a few days."
"When the house is repaired, I will move back in."
"This matter is a bit troublesome."
Hearing Qin Huairu's request, Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly. This matter is not easy to handle.
"Well, I'll go talk to the second and third uncles to see if there's any way to solve this problem."
Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to ignore it, but it was Qin Huairu who initiated the matter, and Banggeng was his godson, so it would not be a good idea to ignore it.
Although Sha Zhu married Jin Huainu as his wife, she is still pregnant, so the stick root is still very important.
"Oh, sorry to bother you."
The three of them discussed it to no avail and decided to hold a meeting of the entire courtyard to deal with the Jia family’s problem.
"The meeting is about to start. Everyone come to the Intermediate Court for the meeting." Yan Bugui shouted at the top of his voice.
"A meeting? What time is it now? I'm busy. What kind of meeting is that? Really, there's so much shit to do every day."
"Yeah, can't you see we are busy? Why don't we have a meeting at this time? Why can't we have it later?"
Everyone came to the Central Court to hold a meeting, cursing and swearing, and everyone was very unhappy.
Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui immediately became a coward.
He would not do this thankless task in vain.
Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to stand up and say: "Dear neighbors, today we have called everyone to a meeting mainly to deal with the affairs of the Jia family."
"Everyone has checked the Jia family's house. There are several cracks on the wall. It's uninhabitable for the time being."
"Right now, we asked everyone to come here to discuss a solution and see how to relocate the Jia family. Once the repairs are completed, we can let the Jia family move back in."
Yan Bugui spoke up at this time: "Our courtyard has always been united and friendly. We are all one big family. When a family member is in trouble, we should carry forward the spirit of unity and friendship."
"Is there anyone who can lend a hand and help the Jia family to vacate a house? Is there anyone willing to take the initiative to help?"
After saying that, the three uncles looked around and no one spoke.
Everyone looked at each other in silence. There were only a few families in the entire yard who were wealthy enough to have extra houses.
Li Kailang, Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao are the only three families that have extra houses.
Others either live together with their entire families or have their rooms divided up so there is no single house available.
Yi Zhonghai was naturally well aware of this matter. He held this general meeting because he did not want to provide the Jia family with a place to live.
Yi Zhonghai's gaze inadvertently swept across Li Kailang and Sai Fengxian.
Xu Damao was showing movies in the countryside, and only Sai Fengxian came to the meeting.
Li Kailang was holding Yan Jiedi. When he noticed Yi Zhonghai's gaze over him, he rolled his eyes.
"Yi Zhonghai, don't put your dirty thoughts on me. I would rather give my house to a dog than to certain people."
"Don't even look at it, and it's best not to even think about it."
"Don't tell me we're from the same courtyard. I don't have any relationship with him. Don't forget I said before that we'll never have anything to do with each other again."
Hearing Li Kailang's impolite words, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale. He was an eighth-level worker and no one dared to humiliate him like this.
Thinking that Li Kailang is a college student, I just have to endure it.
Finally, Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao, who also had two rooms.
"Xu Damao's wife, I remember there is a vacant house in your house, why don't you let the Jia family live there first, and then let them move back in after the house is renovated."
Hearing this, Sai Fengxian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly.
"Uncle, you should talk to my husband about this. He is the head of the family and he has the final say on such important matters." Sai Fengxian said slowly.
Yi Zhonghai said, "Alas, isn't Damao here? We all know that he is a warm-hearted person, I'm sure he won't refuse."
"Maybe when he comes back and knows you agreed, he'll praise you for doing a good job."
"You are Damao's wife. He is not here. You can make the decision on this matter. You don't want to hold Damao back, do you?"
Yi Zhonghai's face was full of smiles, as if he was confident that he could control this countryman.
Sai Fengxian finally realized how difficult Yi Zhonghai was at this time, and it was no wonder that Xu Damao asked him to stay away from Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family.
Also, don't promise anything when he's not around.
Sai Fengxian said disgustedly: "Master, I still say the same thing, I can't make the decision on this matter, you have to talk to Damao."
"I am just a woman. If I take him in without Damao's consent, I will be the one who gets beaten. Will you let the Jia family leave then?"
At this point, Yi Zhonghai was speechless. He had finally gotten into Xu Damao's house and dealt with the troublesome matter. How could he let the Jia family leave?
The neighbors listening nearby also felt that Yi Zhonghai was being unreasonable. It was normal to wait for someone to come back and make a decision. Besides, the other party didn't say he disagreed, so this was a bit aggressive.
"Uncle, maybe Xu Damao will be back soon, or we can think of other ways."
"Yeah, with so many of us, we can definitely come up with a solution."
Liu Haizhong was very happy to see Yi Zhonghai being humiliated, and immediately retorted a few words.
"Old Yi, you are such a fool. Ren Damao's wife is just a woman. How can you make the decision? We can handle this matter."
Yi Zhonghai's face turned dark. He was becoming less and less intimidating. A country bumpkin dared to challenge him.
What's more, Liu Haizhong took the opportunity to add insult to injury, which really infuriated me.
Hearing everyone's voices, Yi Zhonghai asked directly: "Since everyone is so kind-hearted, why don't you all think of a solution?"
Suddenly, the whole place was silent.
Yi Zhonghai was in a much better mood after successfully turning the tables: "Since Damao's wife can't make the decision, let's wait for Damao to come back and talk about it."
"Everyone, please share your ideas if you have any."
The whole audience fell silent again.
Jingle Bell--
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound and everyone turned to look.
I saw Xu Damao riding back, wet.
"Da Mao, you're back!" Sai Fengxian was suddenly excited, as the pillar of the family had finally arrived.
"Fengxian, that's great, you're okay, that's great." Xu Damao excitedly threw down his bicycle and hugged Sai Fengxian tightly.
"Da Mao!" The two hugged each other excitedly.
For Xu Damao, this is his wife and nothing can happen to her, otherwise it will be difficult to find a wife and he won’t be able to find the next one.
"Fengxian, how is things at home?"
"It's nothing serious. Just some tiles were blown off. There's nothing wrong with the house."
"That's great." Xu Damao felt relieved. He had seen the miserable conditions of each family on his way here. If anything happened at home, it would be troublesome.
He had finally managed to get some pocket money, and now he had to spend it all. He felt bad.
After a while, Xu Damao looked at everyone and saw that everyone was looking at him. He joked, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Have I become more handsome?"
"Ahaha~"
Yi Zhonghai was in no mood to playfully smile at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, you came at the right time. We are holding a meeting. I have a good thing. Would you like to help?" Upon hearing that it was a good thing, Xu Damao's eyes lit up: "What good thing? Tell me."
Yi Zhonghai dug a small hole: "Don't worry about what the good thing is, just say whether you agree or not?"
"If it's a good thing, why not do it."
Seeing that Xu Damao was about to agree, Sai Fengxian quickly covered his mouth.
"Da Mao, don't agree to it. It's not a good thing." Sai Fengxian explained the matter in a few words.
After hearing the reason, Xu Damao became furious.
Good fellow! He actually set his sights on his own family.
"Yi Zhonghai, you bastard, I didn't expect that a grown man like you would do such a despicable thing. You even dared to play with me, bah!"
"You old thing, you don't have a house, so if you want to be a good person, go ahead and be one yourself. You actually dragged me into this, you bastard, did I give you face?"
"You bastard, if you want to do good things, why don't you vacate your own room? How dare you come up with ideas about me? After all this time, you just open your mouth. What a joke!"
Somehow, an aura of majesty without even being angry burst out from Xu Damao, full of domineering power.
The coldness in his eyes made everyone present hold their breath.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Damao with admiration. His current majestic and domineering image made it seem as if they were meeting him for the first time.
Where has the Xu Damao, the cheerful and funny guy from the past gone?
"A Dou Zong expert is so terrifying!" Looking at the expressions of the crowd and then at Xu Damao, Li Kailang muttered to himself.
Yi Zhonghai was so shocked that his legs trembled involuntarily, and then he felt ashamed and angry.
He has been a boss for so many years, but this is the first time someone dares to scold him like this. Doesn't he have any face?
Li Kailang said what he wanted to say. What right does Xu Damao have to say anything about himself?
"Xu Damao! What's your attitude? I am your elder after all. How can you talk like that? You have no manners at all!"
Yi Zhonghai also tore off the mask of the True Lord of Morality and shouted at the top of his lungs, as if this could give himself courage.
"Besides, I am only making a suggestion. If you don't agree, you can just refuse. If you say that, do you still respect me as your elder?"
"Haha!" Xu Damao sneered and curled his lips. "Forget it. If there really is an elder like you, then I'm really unlucky. I dare not acknowledge you."
"Yi Zhonghai, let me ask you one thing. Doesn't your family have a house? Why don't you vacate the house for the Jia family?"
"Bang Geng is your grandson and you don't even help him, yet you're looking for us, bah!"
Yi Zhonghai was prepared for this, and said calmly, "My side room is only this small, wouldn't it be too crowded for the Jia family of four to live in it?"
"I didn't expect that you, Xu Damao, would be such a person. When your neighbor is in trouble, you just sit there and do nothing."
"Alas! I guess I misjudged him."
As he spoke, he showed an expression of deep sorrow.
Some neighbors watched Yi Zhonghai's performance and nodded after listening to his words, as if this was the truth.
Xu Damao just felt disgusted: "It's already this late, you have a nice place to live but you're still being picky."
"Go sleep on the street. It's spacious there. You can sleep anywhere you want. No one will pay attention to you!"
"It's fucking disgusting. You have your own room but you don't want to vacate it. You want me to vacate it. What kind of person is this?"
"Let's go, wife!"
After saying that, Xu Damao took Sai Fengxian's hand, picked up his bicycle and left without giving Yi Zhonghai any face at all.
The neighbors looked at each other in bewilderment. Xu Damao was really bold and didn't give Yi Zhonghai any face. When did he become so brave?
But if you think about it carefully, what Yi Zhonghai did was not human. He had a house but he didn't give it to them. He even went to them and wasted everyone's time.
"Hey, let's go, let's go."
"Really? It's such a trivial matter and they have to hold a big meeting. What a waste of time."
"Old Yi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, alas." Liu Haizhong originally wanted to lecture Yi Zhonghai, but when he saw the murderous light in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he decisively shut up and left.
The entire central courtyard was soon empty, leaving only the Jia family, Sha Zhu, and Yi Zhonghai families.
Yi Zhonghai was too embarrassed to stay in the central courtyard, so he waved his sleeves and went home in shame.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" Yi Zhonghai gulped down two glasses of cold water, and only then did he calm down a little bit.
"Bang!" Yi Zhonghai suddenly slammed the table hard. "Damn it, this is outrageous, this is absolutely outrageous!"
"How dare Xu Damao talk to me like that? Who gave him the guts to talk to me like that?"
The aunt sighed and advised helplessly: "Old Yi, calm down. It's not worth getting so angry about the Jia family's affairs."
"Besides, what you did was really dishonest. The Jia family's reputation has been ruined. Who would give him a house to live in?"
"I'm afraid that after we move in, they won't want to move out. The Jia family only has one room. If Jia Zhang is still here, that would be terrible."
"Shut up!" Yi Zhonghai shouted angrily. He was so angry that he would not listen to any advice.
In fact, he knew that this was not a fair thing to do, but he still did it. The reason was that he didn't want the Jia family to live in his house.
"The Jia family has no place to live now. Xu Damao has the most rooms in the courtyard. What's wrong with squeezing in with his family?"
"We are all neighbors, so there's nothing wrong with helping each other. Look at what Xu Damao did, he's really brave!"
"Oh." Seeing that she couldn't persuade Yi Zhonghai, the aunt said nothing more and went to clean up the house.
"Master."
Yi Zhonghai, who was sulking, turned dark again when he saw Qin Huairu coming in.
Because of the Jia family's affairs today, he has lost all face in the courtyard and is very displeased with the Jia family.
"What's the matter?" Yi Zhonghai asked knowingly.
"Uncle, you have to help me. You are the only one in the yard who can help our family."
Qin Huairu had anticipated this and immediately used her best skills.
Her eyes turned red and she started crying.
"Bang Geng is your grandson, but now he has no place to live. What do you think I should do?"
"It doesn't matter for adults, but it can't be for children. What if something happens?"
When Qin Huairu started crying, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt a headache.
"Okay, okay, stop crying."
There is only one solution for now, and we have no choice but to do it.
Didn't Xu Damao say that he was only good at talking? He actually did something and let the neighbors know who Yi Zhonghai was.
"Oh, what a pity. I shouldn't have left just now. This is such a great opportunity."
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself that such a good opportunity to establish a glorious image was actually ruined by him.
Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the situation.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise his lips, "Xiao Qin, I won't sit idly by and watch this matter."
"Well, you can live in my house first, and when the house is repaired, you can move back."
"Okay, thank you, uncle. I knew you were the best in the yard." Qin Huairu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, saying nice things.
"Hey, it's all in the same yard."
Yi Zhonghai felt relaxed after hearing this, and his previous resentment immediately disappeared.
Before long, the entire compound knew that Yi Zhonghai had taken in the Jia family.
But everyone knew it, but they just knew it and didn't take it seriously.
Yi Zhonghai's plan failed.
