Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Hey, hearing Yan Fugui's words, Zhang Minghui laughed secretly in his heart.

This stingy old man Yan also wants to find out some inside information.

I do know the inside information that there will be a food shortage in the next three years, but even if I tell this to Old Yan, he won't believe it.

Besides, Zhang Minghui had no intention of saying it.

"Uncle, do you think Aunt Wang can tell me about this? Besides, Aunt Wang is just the director of a street office. She has to wait for notification from above if there is anything!"

Having gained nothing, Yan Fugui shook his head and left.

Intermediate Court

At Jia Dongxu's home, the family sat on the kang in silence.

Jia Dongxu was smoking silently, and a lot of tobacco flowed into his mouth. He spit out the tobacco and opened his mouth to speak.

"Mom, please give me some money! Food is in short supply now. Even if I pay a high price, I can't buy food. I don't have enough money."

Jia Zhang leaned against the wall and spoke in a muffled voice.

"No, this money is my retirement money and cannot be touched."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he became anxious and started shouting loudly.

"Mom, if you don't take the money, our whole family will be left with nothing."

"The price of food coupons on the black market has risen to more than 3 cents. Judging from the situation, the price of food coupons will continue to rise. What should I do?"

Jia Zhang knew this was the truth. The price of food coupons had skyrocketed, but she absolutely could not touch her pension money.

His eyes rolled around, and he instantly had an idea. He looked up at Jia Dongxu and spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"Dongxu, don't we still have your master? He is a big boss now, and we need his advice. It's already this time, if he doesn't help our family, who will?"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. That's right! I have to ask Master to help me. If he wants me to take care of him in my old age, he must help me.

Otherwise, my family won’t be able to survive, and there will be no way for me to help him with his old age.

He quickly finished his cigarette, turned around and ran to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife were chatting in the living room, also talking about food.

In recent times, Yi Zhonghai's life has been much more comfortable. After the storm passed, no one in the factory found fault with him anymore. Now he just needs to complete his tasks with peace of mind every day.

The most important thing is that in the compound, after becoming the boss again, he has won over a lot of neighbors during this period of time. Although he cannot be said to have the final say in the compound, his prestige is slowly increasing.

He just wanted to find Xu Damao to establish his authority, but he couldn't find a chance. This bad guy was always going to the countryside recently and never stayed in the yard.

Just after I told the aunt to go and collect food early tomorrow, I heard Jia Dongxu shouting at the door.

"Is the master home?"

Hearing his apprentice's voice, Yi Zhonghai said happily.

"Come in! I'm at home!"

After Jia Dongxu entered the room and sat on the chair, he touched the armrests of the chair awkwardly with his hands, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and he spoke in a serious tone.

"Master, our family can't survive. You see, the price of food coupons is going up like crazy. I can't afford it with my salary!"

"You have to help me think of a solution!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face immediately darkened. The Jia family is giving me problems again!

This is a big deal. Although we are relying on Jia Dongxu to support us in our old age, the Jia family can't just rely on us. If this continues, we will not be able to bear it!

"Well, Dongxu, you go back first. I'll think of a solution and study it later. I'll let you know if there's any result."

After Jia Dongxu left, an old lady stood by and complained.

"Boss, this won't do!"

"Your salary has been reduced, and you have spent a lot of money in the past two months. My illness also costs a lot of money every month. If you help the Jia family, our life will be difficult."

After hearing what the aunt said, Yi Zhonghai felt unhappy. Now that his salary had been reduced, he was not as well off as before. If he continued to support the Jia family, he would indeed be unable to do so.

I have a lot of bank deposits, but they are my retirement money and cannot be touched easily.

But if we don’t provide financial support, we are afraid that the elderly care provider will leave. It will be difficult to find such a suitable elderly care provider.

After thinking about it, I really can't bear to spend money on my own

It seems that the only way to start is with the neighbors in the compound. When he thought of the neighbors, Yi Zhonghai's ideas suddenly became clear.

The little guy in the backyard is a good target. If the Jia family can get close to him, they can suck his blood continuously.

His family is rich and he has a grudge against me, Yi Zhonghai. I'll take this opportunity to give him a hard time.

But this kid is not a good person, so I have to find a reasonable excuse to deal with him.

But he couldn't do it like last time and end up in disgrace. Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time and finally came up with a good excuse.

Then he went out to discuss the matter with Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

Zhang Minghui was cooking outside the house. During this period of time, Zhang Minghui learned to cook by himself, and the meals he made were quite presentable. After all, they were just simple dishes.

This is also for the neighbors to see. In the past, we could go every day without lighting a fire and no one would care.

However, as food became scarce, many well-known restaurants that did not accept food coupons before began to require them. This forced Zhang Minghui to take action. Otherwise, the amount of food coupons would not match.

It’s better to be careful when living in a compound, so as to avoid being noticed by others.

Zhang Minghui, who was busy and chattering, noticed that Yi Zhonghai suddenly ran from the middle yard to the back yard. Looking at Yi Zhonghai in a hurry, Zhang Minghui began to murmur in his heart.

Aren't Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai not getting along recently? They've quarreled many times, why is he still coming to see me? Is there something wrong?

At this time, Zhang Minghui didn't know that Yi Zhonghai's purpose in looking for Liu Haizhong was to plot against him. One was to take revenge on Zhang Minghui, and the other was to get rid of the big burden of the Jia family and let the Jia family come to suck his blood.

In just over 10 minutes, Yi Zhonghai came out of Liu's house. Seeing Zhang Minghui busy cooking there, he smiled triumphantly.

You little bastard, you must avenge that arrow today.

As soon as Zhang Minghui brought the food into the house, he heard Liu Guangtian shouting loudly in the yard.

"Go to the meeting at the Central Court."

Hearing the noise, Zhang Minghui took the small stool and went out, unable to help but sigh in his heart.

There are so many messes every day. Meetings are held all the time and they are not discussed clearly. I don’t know what the motivation is of these people.

When they arrived at the central courtyard, many people had already arrived, so Zhang Minghui found a secluded corner and sat down.

A few minutes later, the three managers sat behind the table and began to convene a meeting of the entire hospital.

It’s the same old routine, with the third uncle Yan Fugui opening the show.

"Now call a meeting of the whole institute, and everyone should be quiet."

After the scene quieted down, the second uncle Liu Haizhong raised his head and chest and spoke loudly.

"The purpose of this meeting is to help some families in need."
