Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

"Since the eldest uncle has expressed his opinion, how can I, the second uncle, fall behind? I will also donate ten kilograms of corn flour!"

When the news that Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai donated ten kilograms of grain spread, Yan Bugui's face instantly became extremely ugly.

As the third uncle in the yard, his family background is not as wealthy as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, one is a seventh-level fitter and the other is a sixth-level blacksmith. Both are heavy manual laborers and naturally live a rich life.

Yan Bugui was just a Chinese teacher at Hongxing Primary School and a mental worker. His food rations were limited and he had to support his family.

Every month, he had to replace white flour with corn flour and sweet potatoes just to make ends meet.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's eyes were focused on Yan Bugui, and even the other residents present were looking at him.

This made Yan Bugui feel very uncomfortable, his face turned red, and he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"My family can only donate three pounds of sweet potatoes!"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu felt dissatisfied and couldn't help but question it.

"Uncle, you are too frugal."

"Uncle No. 1 and Uncle No. 2 both donated 10 kilograms of corn flour, but you only donated 3 kilograms of sweet potatoes?"

"Silly Zhu, don't say anything!"

"Donations are all based on personal feelings. Three pounds of sweet potatoes are also food, which can sustain for two days!"

"If you are not satisfied, you can donate it yourself!"

Yan Bugui was originally worried about the food, and after hearing what Sha Zhu said, he became even more angry.

Sha Zhu was speechless after hearing this. Yang Ming frowned when he saw this.

Although he helped He Daqing and made him leave the courtyard, He Yushui no longer suffered with his brother Sha Zhu.

But Sha Zhu's words and actions are sometimes really hard to understand.

Especially when it comes to Qin Huairu, he behaves like a child.

"alright!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu looked unhappy, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to mediate.

After all, today he was here to help the Jia family, and he knew the difficulties of Yan Bugui's family. If he pushed them too hard, it might backfire.

"Silly Zhu, look how angry you made Uncle San. Why don't you apologize to him right now?"

"I agree with Third Master's opinion." Yang Ming nodded slightly and took over the topic. "Donation should be decided based on personal ability and actual situation. It is enough for us to do our best."

The residents in the courtyard felt a little relieved after hearing Yang Ming's words. However, as everyone took out some corn flour, the atmosphere gradually became a little subtle.

Finally, it was Yang Ming and Xu Huizhen's turn. However, they seemed indifferent to the donation, and even their eyes did not waver.

This scene made Yi Zhonghai frown slightly, while Sha Zhu beside him was a little dissatisfied.

"What does this mean?" Sha Zhu couldn't help asking, "Yang Ming, Xu Huizhen, aren't you two too stingy? Look at your family's life, and then look at the plight of Sister Qin's family. Can't you help out a little?"

Yang Ming smiled slightly, looked at Sha Zhu, and said calmly: "Sha Zhu, have you ever heard of the Leshan Giant Buddha?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Although Sha Zhu answered, he didn't understand what he meant.

“Then why don’t you go to Leshan and ask the big Buddha to stand up and let you take charge?” Yang Ming said in a calm tone.

Sha Zhu was confused by the question and didn't understand the deeper meaning of Yang Ming's words, but his intuition told him that there must be some sarcasm in it.

Yan Bugui, who was standing next to him, seemed to have noticed something and said, "Shazhu, Yang Ming's idea is that since you are so kind-hearted, why don't you donate your monthly food to the Jia family and give up your house so that the Jia family can have a more spacious residence?"

These words made Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang's mother and son's eyes flash with greed, as if they were really thinking about this proposal seriously.

However, although Sha Zhu was called "silly", he was actually very thoughtful. How could he sacrifice his family's interests just to win Qin Huairu's favor? Therefore, he quickly waved his hand to refuse, but secretly warned himself in his heart not to express his opinions easily in the future.

Do you think I'm a fool? That house clearly belongs to my Yang family. How can I give it to him so easily?

people?

Hearing this, Yang Ming's mouth corners couldn't help but rise, forming a faint smile.

Since you know that it is your private property, he continued, then it is natural for you to decide whether to give it to the Jia family.

Yang Ming's eyes moved among the crowd, and then he slowly spoke: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am not a stingy person, nor do I disregard the friendship between neighbors. But you all know that there is an intractable entanglement between me and the Jia family.

Today, if it was someone else asking for help, I might consider donating, but if it was the Jia family, I can only say frankly - absolutely impossible!

As soon as these words were spoken, many people showed a look of sudden realization, and some even began to nod slightly to show their agreement.

They were previously troubled by the moral pressure from Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, and their hearts were already filled with dissatisfaction. Coupled with the irreconcilable grudge between Yang Ming and the Jia family, they could naturally understand Yang Ming's decision.

Moreover, I have something else to say. After noticing the reactions of the crowd, Yang Ming continued, "There is an old saying that says that when you help others, you must help them in times of emergency. Given the situation of the Jia family, they may be short of food frequently in the future. Do we have to keep doing this and help them frequently?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed. They knew very well that their own food was not easy to come by, and occasional aid was fine, but if it continued for a long time, no one would be able to bear it.

Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu and others all looked very different after hearing Yang Ming's words.

They had planned to use today as a starting point to gradually implement long-term assistance to the Jia family in the courtyard, but now, Yang Ming directly announced his intentions to the public, catching them off guard.

Yi Zhonghai felt regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should not have let Sha Zhu talk nonsense and caused trouble for Yang Ming. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down his anger, and then said: "Okay, Sha Zhu also had good intentions, but he was too excited in his words. Let's not discuss this matter today." After saying that, he also deliberately cast a look at Sha Zhu, signaling him not to cause more trouble.

"Shazhu, why don't you express your apology to Yang Ming as soon as possible?" Yi Zhonghai's voice was a little serious.

Faced with Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu's eyes widened as big as lanterns, and he was obviously extremely reluctant about it.

For him, dignity and face were inseparable parts of his life. Asking him to bow his head and apologize to Yang Ming in front of everyone was a great torment for him.

Yang Ming, after seeing through Yi Zhonghai's intention, responded calmly: "No, that's not necessary."
