After drinking, it was already past three in the afternoon. When we got home, Su Wen lay down on the bed and started to sleep. I don't know how long he slept for, but Su Wen was woken up by Wang Qianqian, "What's wrong, Qianqian? I have a headache after drinking. I'll sleep a little longer and I won't eat dinner. You guys can eat."
"We have already had dinner. Guangtian just came over to call you to hold a hospital-wide meeting, and specifically asked you to participate."
After hearing Wang Qianqian's words, Su Wen rubbed his head and sat up. Guangtian also specially named him to participate. This hospital-wide meeting must have a lot to do with him. Could it be because he had quarreled with the third uncle at noon, and the third uncle wanted to deal with him through a hospital-wide meeting?
Su Wen went to the kitchen and wiped his face with cold water to wake himself up. Su Wen came to the middle courtyard and found that the middle courtyard was already crowded with people, as if they were all waiting for him. There was some inexplicable expectation in his heart. It has been nearly a year since I came to this world. I have always kept a low profile and have not interacted too much with the neighbors in the courtyard, except for Xu Damao. That was because Su Wen had evil intentions. He has participated in hospital-wide meetings several times, and they were all trivial matters, organizing donations, or organizing and publicizing policy notices issued by the sub-district office.
Seeing Su Wen coming over, the second uncle Liu Haizhong opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated and didn't say anything. Su Wen is the deputy section chief of the purchasing department in the steel rolling mill, and he is already a cadre at a young age. The second uncle is bent on pursuing advancement and becoming a leader. He does not want to offend Su Wen in the courtyard. As for what Yi Zhonghai said about not respecting the elderly and loving the young. Does this have anything to do with his bangs? He has three sons, and Yi Zhonghai is not a poor man with no one to take care of his old age. He needs to build the courtyard into a holy place where the elderly are respected and the young are respected.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Su Wen coming over, he coughed slightly to remind Liu Haizhong that it was time to start. Liu Haizhong pretended not to hear Yi Zhonghai's reminder and drank tea by himself.
Seeing that Liu Haizhong had not spoken, Yi Zhonghai coughed and took the initiative to say: "Today's hospital meeting has two things to say. One is the Jia family's life issues, and the other is the atmosphere of our compound." After saying that, he ignored it. Everyone was talking as they lowered their heads and took a sip of water. Then he raised his hand to suppress everyone's discussion, "Let's talk about the life issues of the Jia family first. After Jia Dongxu passed away, Qin Huairu took over the factory and could barely maintain the family's life, but now Qin Huairu's belly is getting bigger and bigger. When she came to Da Da, she had already applied for maternity leave from the steel rolling mill, and her salary could only be 70%. This money was not enough to support the normal life of their family. Qin Huairu was going to give birth soon and needed to supplement her nutrition. Let's talk about it, everyone. How can we help the Jia family survive this difficult time?"
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he looked around and found that everyone was silent.
"You heartless, damned beasts who don't deserve a good death, you are watching our family of orphans and widowers starve to death and no one is willing to help us." Jia and Zhang saw everyone talking about helping her family. They were silent, and then started to curse when the silence started.
Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Sister-in-law Jia, aren't we discussing your family's affairs? Please wait aside for a while. If you continue to make trouble like this, it will only delay the time to solve the problem." Qin Huairu looked pitiful. He just stepped forward with a big belly and pulled the parents back to the door of Jia's house.
Yi Zhonghai looked around and saw that everyone was still silent. No one spoke, and he felt helpless. He could only continue to say: "The Jia family needs everyone's help. We are all old neighbors for many years and we can't just watch the Jia family." You can’t survive. I propose organizing a donation event, where everyone can donate a little money according to their own conditions to help the Jia family tide over the difficulties. Do you have any opinions? "
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, there was a slight murmur in the crowd. Not many people were willing to donate, but no one stood up to object. The donation went smoothly under the auspices of Yi Zhonghai, and most people came forward. After donating the money, only a few needy households in the courtyard were left. Yi Zhonghai did not mention their names, so Yi Zhonghai focused on Su Wen.
"Su Wen shouldn't be too selfish as a person. He must know how to unite his neighbors. You are now the deputy section chief of the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill and your salary is more than 80 yuan a month. How can you have the nerve to spend nothing."
Su Wen felt a little unhappy when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words. He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He looked at the people around him and found that they were all looking at him, waiting for his response.
"Yi Zhonghai, you say I'm selfish. I have a few questions to ask you. Jia Dongxu died in the steel rolling mill. How much death compensation did the steel rolling mill give? Has the Jia family used up all the money in just a few months?"
Yi Zhonghai's face changed slightly when he heard Su Wen's question. He didn't expect Su Wen to question him so directly. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "The rolling mill did pay Jia Dongxu's death compensation, but I don't know the specific amount. Moreover, the money is a private matter of the Jia family, and we have no right to interfere."
Su Wen sneered, "No right to ask? So you mean we are meddling in our own business by donating now? Since you don't know the amount of compensation, how do you know that the Jia family needs our help now? Maybe they Just crying about poverty."
Yi Zhonghai turned livid with anger at Su Wen's words. He glared at Su Wen and then said, "Su Wen, you must have a conscience when you speak. Everyone is seeing the situation in the Jia family. Qin Huairu is a woman with two children." She has a child, and now she is pregnant. Do you know how difficult their life is? As neighbors, shouldn’t we lend a helping hand?”
Su Wen sneered and continued: "Yi Zhonghai, you put it lightly. The Jia family received a total of 500 yuan in death compensation from the steel rolling mill. I would like to ask all of you caring neighbors, how many of your families have 500 yuan in savings? Yes? Second uncle, do you have one at home?"
"My family doesn't have any. All our money was used up when we got married."
"The second uncle is a seventh-level blacksmith in the steel rolling mill, and his salary is more than 80 yuan a month. He is not as rich as the Jia family, and the rest of you are even worse. Yi Zhonghai, you are robbing the poor and giving to the rich."
Yi Zhonghai was speechless by Su Wen's words. He glared at Su Wen, then turned to look at everyone, trying to seek support. At this time, Qin Huairu held Xiaodang's hand and walked to the center of the yard with her big belly. Qin Huairu had tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. Her eyes were like deep lake water, filled with endless sorrow and expectation. Crystal tears welled up in his eyes, as if they would fall down at any moment.
"Neighbors, I really have no money. Dongxu's compensation is all in the hands of my mother-in-law, but she refuses to use it. I have no choice but to ask the uncle for help."
"Everyone has heard it, and Qin Huairu himself admitted it. If the Jia family has money, they don't need it. They just have to use everyone's donations. You are not short of money and are willing to donate. My daughter-in-law, Su Wen, has a rural household registration and is pregnant with a child. I You should save money to support your own wife and children. If you don’t have any money, you can donate it to support other people’s wives and children.”
"Su Wen, shut up. You deliberately disturbed the donation. What are you thinking?" Yi Zhonghai pointed at Su Wen and asked.
"Yi Zhonghai, you are a bit shameless. I stood up and spoke all because of you. It was you who asked me to donate by name."
