Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Well, it seems to be true!"

Xu Xiaoran sniffed and spoke loudly in unison with Yi Bufan.

"Everyone take a sniff, this stewed pig's trotter smells really good!"

Yi Bufan shouted and the neighbors started to smell it, regardless of whether they could really smell it or not.

"It's stewed pig's trotters. I haven't smelled this smell for a while."

"I remember the last time I ate pig's trotters was about two years ago."

"No, it was the Silly Pillar Stew Pot last year. I smelled it and ate three steamed buns just because of the smell."

"Girl, the steamed buns at home are not cold yet, bring me two."

"..."

The attention of all the neighbors was immediately attracted by Yi Bufan.

In fact, the smell of the stewed pig's trotters is not that strong, but after so many people talked about it, it seemed as if I could really smell it.

Naturally, no one would pay attention to what Yi Zhonghai would say.

"Whose stewed pig's trotter is this? Give me a bowl of soup. It would be even better if there was some meat in it."

Yi Bufan shouted with a smile.

"It seems to be this side. Shazhu is not at home, so it must be you guys."

Someone quickly found the source.

"Everyone who sees it gets a share. Let's give everyone a drink."

Yi Bufan shouted again.

"Yes, everyone, drink some!"

Naturally, the neighbors supported this proposal.

"No, I can't give it to you. You will drink it all."

Banggeng couldn't hold it in any longer and even snatched so much food from his grandma at noon, but still couldn't eat enough.

If so many people were to eat it now, I would have nothing left.

"Yes, it seems to be from the Jia family."

"That's right, the smell of pig's trotters came from the Jia family."

"It's delicious!"

"Great! I'll just drink one spoonful!"

"Yes, one spoonful is enough."

"..."

Everyone now has a goal.

"No, you can't drink it. Not even a spoonful. Only half a spoonful."

Banggen immediately stood in front of him.

"Well, how can you argue with a little kid?"

"Have you never eaten pig's trotters or drank pig's trotter soup?"

Yi Bufan roared and helped Bang Geng to block the crowd.

"I haven't really tasted it, I've only smelled it."

"I haven't eaten it either. I drank soup a few years ago."

Almost most people say this.

"Oh, you guys, I don't know what to say!"

"None of them have even eaten pig's trotters or drank soup, and they are not as good as others."

Yi Bufan touched Banggeng’s head.

"That's right, I've eaten it twice!"

Bang Geng said this proudly, with his head held high.

“I ate it twice too!”

Xiaodang also stretched out two fingers and said.

"Yeah, that's good. I haven't eaten it once. You're better than me, better than everyone else."

Yi Bufan smiled and looked up at Yan Bugui: "Uncle, have you eaten it?"

"Of course I have!"

Yan Bugui pushed his glasses again and said, "I've never eaten that before. I don't have the money to eat that, but I can't embarrass myself."

"Where's the Second Uncle? Have you eaten it?"

Yi Bufan looked at Liu Haizhong again.

"Yi Bufan, today's hospital meeting has nothing to do with eating pig's trotters. Now that everyone has donated, it's almost time for us to end it."

"Yi Bufan was the only one who refused to donate. Everyone should remember this."

Liu Haizhong no longer expected Yi Bufan to give him money and wanted to end it quickly.

"Wait, why don't I like what you said?"

“Why should I refuse to donate?”

"Because I have no money. I don't even have money to buy pig's trotters."

"You said I'm already twenty years old, but I'm not as good as Bang Geng and Xiao Dang. They've eaten pig's trotters twice, but I haven't eaten them once."

"People have money to eat pig's trotters, do they still need me to donate money?"

"I'm not a sucker!"

"Wife, let's go and save some money. Let's see if we can buy some pig's trotters to try."

As Yi Bufan spoke, he turned around and put his arms around Xu Xiaoran's slender waist and walked towards his own yard.

"Well, I'll go buy some tomorrow! And I'll buy some lamb kidneys and other things."

Xu Xiaoran said in a low voice.

"What, do you think your man is incompetent? Let's go back and start the war now!"

Yi Bufan chased Xu Xiaoran in, and a silver bell-like laughter was heard.

But the people in the yard were no longer calm.

"I won't donate anymore. People don't need money."

"I won't donate anymore. My family is not as good as theirs."

"People have money to buy pig's trotters to eat, how can they not have money to treat illnesses? They will definitely not look down on my 65 cents."

"Why do I feel like I'm not as good as others after living for so many years? Where's my one dollar? I won't donate it."

"..."

After Yi Bufan made such a fuss, the neighbors felt unbalanced and went to get back the money they donated.

"Don't take it back, don't listen to Yi Bufan's nonsense."

Liu Haizhong regretted even more that he asked Liu Guangtian to call Yi Bufan to the meeting.

"Everyone misunderstood. My family can't afford pig's trotters. My mother-in-law injured her foot, so we bought pig's trotters to heal her foot and treat the disease."

This statement is actually reasonable.

But who will listen now?

Maybe some people are thinking that if their feet are injured, they can eat pig's trotters, which seems to be worth it.

"Old Yan, what are you doing?"

Liu Haizhong saw Yan Bugui directly take away his two dollars.

"Lao Liu, I twisted my ankle last month and it hurt for two months, but I couldn't afford to buy a pig's trotter to heal it."

Yan Bugui did not continue speaking, his meaning was already clear, he was not as good as Jia Zhang.

"Old Yi, what should we do about this?"

Liu Haizhong turned his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai. He was unable to calm the situation and had to ask Yi Zhonghai for help.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

"Regardless of other situations, Jia Zhang is indeed hospitalized now, and her foot injury is indeed serious."

"The Jia family really doesn't have much money right now, so if you're willing to donate, please do so."

"The Jia family really needs everyone's help now."

"But, Second Uncle also said yesterday that the people's affairs in the courtyard are his affairs. Jia Zhang was also sent to the hospital by Second Uncle, and he has already paid fifty yuan."

"I think if Jia Zhang's subsequent expenses are not enough, the second uncle will continue to be responsible for it."

"As long as the Second Master is here, there won't be any trouble in this yard that can't be solved, so please rest assured!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled innocently, glanced around, comforted his neighbors, and earned a round of applause.

The applause was naturally for Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong had to accept it with a forced smile.

I hated Yi Zhonghai in my heart.

Yi Zhonghai took the one dollar he had placed on the table and put it into his pocket.

This was also the first time that father and son cooperated to trick Liu Haizhong.
