Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

No objection?

Are you kidding? That's nearly 33 yuan. Based on the 48 yuan salary of a first-level worker in a steel rolling mill, if you want to save that much money, you need to go without food or drink for months, or four years.

These days, most workers' salary is only 20 or 30 yuan, and this money has to support the entire family. After deducting the cost of food and some miscellaneous expenses every month, a family can be considered a very good one if it does not owe any foreign debt. But if there is anyone with a cold or fever, the money will not be enough.

You can do the math yourself. In the 1950s and 1960s, which ordinary family could save more than a thousand yuan?

Can't admit it.

Absolutely cannot admit it.

So Zhang opened her mouth and cried out, "Director Wang, it's unfair."

"Oh? How did I wrongly accuse you?"

"I.."

No matter how eloquent you are, you have no way to defend yourself against this matter. Didn't you see Yi Zhonghai standing there with his head hanging down and not saying a word?

Did you complain to the director of the subdistrict office?

What a joke.

Qin Huairu's eyes were also red and she didn't say anything.

"Since you can't explain it, go back and get the money and return it to them as soon as possible. It's getting late."

Director Wang gave the order.

"I don't have any money, and I have no life. My money has been spent long ago."

"Besides, this is their voluntary donation, why should we return it?"

"Isn't this bullying us orphans and widows?"

Is there money at home? Yes, quite a bit. But she is unwilling to return the money. Who wants to spit out the fat meat in their mouth?

"Director Wang, our family is really out of money. Everyone knows that we have been eating expensive food for the past two years. How can we save money?"

"Besides, I'm just an intern now. I haven't been hired yet and I only make about ten yuan a month, which is not enough for my family to eat and drink. I was thinking of going to the street office to apply for a subsidy these days."

Qin Huairu's speech was still very clear.

Due to various reasons, food supply has been a problem since the second half of 58. Many people went to the black market to find food. Director Wang certainly knew about this. The situation was especially difficult last year, and even if there was food on the black market, the price had risen several times.

Even so, Director Wang didn't believe that the Jia family would be without money. This account was still easy to calculate.

"Director Wang, how about this? I'll keep this account for now. When I get promoted and my family lives a comfortable life, I'll slowly start paying it back. As long as I'm not dead, there will always be a day when I'll pay off the debt."

Putting aside other things, Qin Huairu's attitude was still good. Director Wang's expression eased slightly, but only slightly.

"What do you think?"

Director Wang tried to solicit opinions from everyone in the hospital. These days, people advocate listening to the opinions of the masses, so Director Wang did not make a decision immediately.

"this..."

Many people hesitated. It’s not that they didn’t want to pay it back, but they really didn’t have any. Everyone knows what happened in the past two years.

Besides, it’s not easy for Qin Huairu, a woman.

We are all neighbors living in the same compound, so you can’t force someone to death, right?

"Then let Qin Huairu write an IOU."

Someone suggested it, so we can keep it as a backup plan.

"I already have the account books, do I still need to write an IOU?"

Qin Huairu asked in a crying voice with tears welling up in her eyes.

The people in the compound fell silent.

Some people feel that something is wrong, but they can't put their finger on why.

Liu Guozheng smiled but didn't say anything. At this point, if they couldn't get their money back, there would be nothing they could do.

The situation was deadlocked.

Everyone was at a loss.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for someone else to take the lead and come up with an idea.

This is also the main reason why Yi Zhonghai can rule the Siheyuan.

So, no matter what era, people must have their own backbone, that is, you must have the right ideas and be decisive at critical moments.

If you always think about others giving you advice, you are likely to encounter "Yi Zhonghai".

"Ugh...."

Director Wang sighed and said that every one of these people deserved to be cheated.

"Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, go get the money."

Director Wang didn't want to wait any longer. Could Qin Huairu's little trick fool her? She didn't even want to write an IOU, which obviously meant she didn't want to pay back the money. If this matter wasn't handled well today, there would be endless troubles.

"Director Wang, are you going to force us to death?"

When Jia Zhang gets anxious, she dares to say anything.

"Qin Huairu, what do you say?"

Director Wang ignored Jia Zhang and asked Qin Huairu directly.

"Director Wang, our family really has no money. As you know, Dongxu is the only one in our family who has a city hukou. We have to buy expensive food every month, so how can we have any money left?"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu's tears flowed like a river bursting its dam.

"Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, I will give you one last chance."

Women's tears can only be used against men, especially men like Sha Zhu.

"Come, I'll do the math for you."

As the director of the street office, Director Wang is quite capable.

"Listen, think about it in your mind and see if it's right."

"Over the two years, a total of 1582.67 yuan was donated. There are 24 months in two years, so this is 65.94 yuan per month."

"Jia Dongxu still has a job. The first-class worker in the steel mill makes 33 yuan, right?"

"In this case, the Jia family has 98.94 yuan to spend per month."

"Come on, come on, figure it out for yourselves."

There was no other way, Director Wang could only settle the bill for them in public.

boom....

The whole hospital was shocked again.

"I was wondering if something was wrong. So this is it."

"Damn, I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think about the details?"

"Alas, just now I was thinking that I would just donate it and not keep the money, but I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that."

"Damn it, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu are still acting. No, return the money. I must return the money today."

"Refund the money, you must refund the money."

"..."

"Snapped"

Yan Bugui, who was standing next to him, slapped him in the face. His little trick was really not worthy of being shown on the stage. What a waste of time he had to keep an account book. He never thought about settling accounts normally. Alas!

Liu Haizhong couldn't believe it at first, and then he felt frustrated. After all, he could not compare to Yi Zhonghai.

"Liu Guangtian, go to the street office and get a few people over here. Come back quickly."

Director Wang didn't want to wait any longer.

"Ok."

Liu Guangtian ran away.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a questioning look.

Feeling someone was looking at him, Yi Zhonghai raised his eyelids slightly and found that it was Qin Huairu who was looking at him with tears in her eyes.

That little look, that little expression.

Yi Zhonghai felt itchy in his heart.

But he has no choice now.

Director Wang has made the accounts clear and straightforward, what else can we say?

It's useless to say anything now. It can be said that there is no way to save the situation.

Besides, Yi Zhonghai was also worried that if he spoke up now, he would be held responsible and suffer a huge loss.

It’s better to just wait for punishment obediently, accept your fate and stop struggling.
