Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

What Xu Damao said was also a way of praising Yi Zhonghai. He had said so much that if Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give money, it would mean that Yi Zhonghai was stingy.

No one in this compound is someone to be trifled with, and everyone knows it in their hearts. When it comes to scheming, no one can beat anyone else.

They are now praising Yi Zhonghai in every word and praising him to a very high position. If Yi Zhonghai is unwilling to take the money, then Yi Zhonghai will have no reputation in this courtyard in the future.

An auntie was looking at Yi Zhonghai worriedly. After hearing Xu Damao praising him non-stop, she hurried over to Yi Zhonghai:

"Old Yi, please don't..."

The aunt is now really worried that Yi Zhonghai will donate the money impulsively under the flattery of his neighbors.

The 10 yuan per household added together is no small sum. Even if they can afford it, it will still be a huge expense.

When the aunt thought of this, she looked at Xu Mingjie with resentment. How could this kid be so petty? He just said a few words to him, so why did he cheat their family like this!

But why is Xu Mingjie making things difficult for Yi Zhonghai now? Isn't it because Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to provoke them? If Yi Zhonghai hadn't insisted on holding this meeting to criticize him, how would he have had this opportunity?

If you bring trouble upon yourself, Yi Zhonghai is now shooting himself in the foot.

All the neighbors in the compound could see what Xu Mingjie was up to. He just wanted to take this opportunity to trick Yi Zhonghai and make him bleed heavily and take money from every household.

It's just that it's hard to say whether this idea will benefit all the neighbors in the compound. They also like it, and of course they agree with Xu Mingjie's words.

After all, who wouldn't be happy to get 10 yuan for free? 10 yuan is enough for every family to have a good New Year.

Xu Mingjie can be said to have protected the interests of everyone. Even the Jia Zhang family couldn't help but have a gleam in their eyes when they heard that they could get the money for free, and they looked at Yi Zhonghai greedily.

At this moment, the deaf old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and said to Xu Mingjie:

"Xu Mingjie, the purpose of today's meeting is to criticize you. Not only do you disrespect your elders, but you also hit people!"

"How come you changed the subject in just two or three sentences? This is not the purpose of our meeting today!"

The deaf old lady stepped forward to help Yi Zhonghai resolve the situation. If Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to change the subject, the neighbors would definitely gossip. He could only talk to an old lady like her.

Hearing the deaf old lady's voice, Yi Zhonghai looked at her with gratitude on his face.

There is a reason why the deaf old lady helps Yi Zhonghai. After all, he is now the ancestor of this compound. Living alone here, he always needs someone to take care of him. He can only live a good life with Yi Zhonghai's care.

Now that Xu Mingjie has taken the lead in making things difficult for Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai's life will be difficult, and her ancestors' lives will not be much better either. Of course, they have to protect Yi Zhonghai's interests.

Hearing the deaf old lady's words, Yi Zhonghai quickly responded:

"Yes, Xu Mingjie, you hit Jia Zhang today. She is an elder after all. It is wrong for you to hit someone. You must be criticized!"

Xu Mingjie just waved his hand indifferently and changed the subject:

"Uncle, I think what you just said makes sense. The Jia family is living in hardship. Didn't you teach me to be compassionate? How about this? You can set an example and provide them with 25 yuan for free. That's good too. It will give them meat, right?"

"After you give the Jia family the money, we can talk about how to improve the welfare of the entire courtyard. This is the most important thing for us today."

"Everything else can be put aside. In our compound, the lives of our neighbors are the top priority. Letting everyone live a good life is what we should focus on."

After just a few words, Xu Mingjie brought the topic back to donating money.

Jia Zhang, who was standing next to her, was about to wail when she heard that she could get 25 yuan for free, but now she immediately quieted down, looked at Yi Zhonghai eagerly, and was ready to reach out to take her 25 yuan.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's embarrassment, Sha Zhu also stood up and pointed at Xu Mingjie and said:

"Xu Mingjie, this money is not your own. Of course you can donate it if you say so. If each household gives 10 yuan, do you know how much it will add up to? There are more than 200 households in our yard. If this old man really donates money, he will have to donate at least more than yuan in one go."

"More than 200 yuan is a huge sum of money, don't you have any idea of ​​it? If you want everyone to have a good life, then you can just donate it, why let an old man donate it!"

Yi Zhonghai felt warmed by Sha Zhu's words.

Xu Mingjie just smiled indifferently and said to Sha Zhu:

"It's not you who needs to figure it out. I didn't force the old man to donate. He was the one who said that we should be compassionate. I just wanted him to be a role model. As long as he sets this example, I can do the same thing as him, right?"

"Besides, the eldest uncle has the highest salary in our hospital. My salary is less than half of his. If I had a salary of 99 yuan a month, I would definitely donate it to everyone in the hospital without blinking an eye!"

Xu Mingjie said this purely because he didn't feel bad about saying anything because the money wasn't on him. Anyway, it wasn't him who wanted to donate, but Yi Zhonghai, so it didn't matter what he said.

Xu Damao, who was standing next to him, of course also stood on Xu Mingjie's side. He stood up and said in agreement:

"Yes, our uncle has the highest salary in the hospital. With such a high salary, there must be a lot of money. With a mere 200 yuan in savings, our uncle can definitely afford it!"

When Xu Damao said this, the neighbors around him nodded in agreement.

In this courtyard, if you have a high salary, it certainly means that you are capable. However, with such a high salary you have to bear the risk. There are beasts in the courtyard, so of course they can't help but be jealous.

Once the money in your pocket is targeted by these beasts, you have to pay your two cents no matter what, otherwise they will not let you leave safely.

Yi Zhonghai obviously understood the situation, and there was more resentment in his eyes when he looked at Xu Mingjie.

He understood in his heart that things had come to this point and the neighbors had expressed their attitudes. He had to pay the more than 200 yuan today, otherwise he would have no reputation in this yard in the future.
