"Master." Jia Dongxu went back to find Yi Zhonghai again.

"Dongxu, have you eaten? Let's have a bite together." Yi Zhonghai said.

"No, Master, I want to ask you, do you think it is possible to hold a meeting and ask the people in the yard to help?" Jia Dongxu asked tentatively.

"Let the people in the yard help! Let me think..." Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment.

"Or I should go ask Secretary Wu. I think he is quite fair." Jia Dongxu said uncertainly.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened after hearing this: Secretary Wu is fair in his work, who are you implying here?

"Don't worry about it. I'll go and ask for you." Yi Zhonghai finally took the responsibility.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master." Jia Dongxu said politely.

"Then I'll go back first, Master."

"Go back!" Yi Zhonghai nodded.

Jia Dongxu went out and went home directly.

"Is it okay to hold a meeting?" asked an old lady.

"Oh, what's the big deal? If I were still a big boss, I could hold a big meeting and people in the courtyard would help the Jia family out of my face." Yi Zhonghai said with a sneer.

"Then why do you still agree?" asked the aunt.

"It would be better to let him look for help everywhere and see who in this hospital will help him. Then he will know how good we are." Yi Zhonghai said.

Then Yi Zhonghai put down his chopsticks and said, "Just wait until I come back to pack up your things. I'm going to go look for Liu Haizhong."

An old lady suddenly said, "Be polite to him, so that he won't be dissatisfied."

"Hmph." Yi Zhonghai didn't reply but just snorted.

Seeing Jia Dongxu coming back in a few minutes, Jia Zhang hurriedly asked:

"What did your master say?"

"My master didn't quite agree, but he said he would ask for me," said Jia Dongxu.

"Your master is an old cunning guy. Just wait and see. Anyway, if our family can't afford food, we will not recognize him. Let's see what he will do then." Jia Zhang said swearingly. Although Jia Zhang was unreasonable, he was also a person who could get the point.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to control Jia Dongxu and make him and others think more of his good points.

"Don't worry, since the master has agreed, this matter should be almost done." Jia Dongxu said.

"Hmph, I don't care about that. I've walked a long way, and the food I had for lunch is long gone. Go find me something to eat. I'm going to sleep after I finish eating!" After sitting up, Jia Zhang felt hungry again.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to say: "Huai Ru, go get me something to eat."

"Yeah." Qin Huairu nodded.

Yi Zhonghai went out and came to the backyard.

"Old Liu, Old Liu." Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door and said.

There was no movement in the room for a long time. Liu Guangtian was about to open the door for Yi Zhonghai, but was glared at by Liu Haizhong.

After a long while, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door again: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, are you home?"

Only then did Liu Haizhong slowly walk towards the door and said unhappily, "Who is it? Are you done yet?"

"Old Liu, it's me, Yi Zhonghai." Although Yi Zhonghai answered like this, he was cursing in his heart.

"Oh, it's Lao Yi. What's the matter?" Liu Haizhong said in a pretentious manner.

"Yes, there is something." Yi Zhonghai said this and walked into the house without caring whether Liu Haizhong was willing or not.

Liu Haizhong immediately pulled his face down. Didn’t Yi Zhonghai see that I didn’t welcome him?

Forget it, now that I'm here, I'll just listen to what he has to say.

"Old Yi, what's the matter?" Liu Haizhong said unhappily.

"Old Liu, you should have heard about what happened to Dongxu's family recently. All the land in their hometown was lost, and the family will have less food in the future."

"In addition, Dongxu is the only one in the family who eats the rationed food, and the other four have nothing. I was thinking of coming to find you to see how we can help the Jia family." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Old Yi, Jia is your apprentice, so just give him a hand and everything will be fine. It's not easy for anyone in the courtyard these days." Liu Haizhong said bluntly.

"Hey, you know, my husband is in poor health, and it costs a lot of money every month to buy medicine. I want to help but I am powerless. Besides, I have to help an old deaf lady." Yi Zhonghai began to play the victim.

"My family can't help the Jia family either. The eldest son is getting married, and there are four people to feed and feed. How can we help the Jia family?" The second aunt spoke.

"Yes, Lao Yi, why don't you go ask other people's homes." Liu Haizhong started to chase people away.

"Old Liu, you see, you are the only person in charge of our compound now. If someone in this compound needs help, shouldn't you lend a hand?" Yi Zhonghai began to flatter Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haixin said: You know I am the manager, and you are still calling me Lao Liu, Lao Liu. Are you the one calling me Lao Liu?

"I have the intention but not the ability. Why don't we go and ask Secretary Wu together?" Liu Haizhong said.

"No, Director Wu is very busy now. You see, he is away from home every day because of the steel production campaign. How can I trouble him with such a small matter?" Yi Zhonghai evaded the question. Liu Haizhong has really learned his lesson and is much more difficult to trick than before.

"Then there's nothing we can do. You should go ask other families." Second Aunt got angry when she heard this. Yi Zhonghai was asking for benefits from his apprentice, so she started to chase him away.

Yi Zhonghai pretended not to hear and said, "How about this, you organize a meeting of the whole courtyard and ask everyone in the courtyard to help the Jia family together. That should be no problem."

After listening to this, Liu Haizhong still thought about it seriously. After all, it was not good for Yi Zhonghai to lose face, so he finally said: "Okay, then you can tell me when the time comes."

However, Liu Haizhong decided not to attend the meeting in person. What if asking people for money affected his position as the second boss? If he really went, he would have to ask for favors himself.

"Okay, thanks, Lao Liu." Yi Zhonghai still pretended to be polite.

After getting Liu Haizhong's promise, Yi Zhonghai happily left the Liu family. If he had not been afraid that Liu Haizhong would come out to cause trouble, he would have held the meeting on his own.

After so many years in the compound, who can say anything when a whole-compound meeting is held? The street office doesn't have the heart to take care of these trivial matters.

Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai coming back from the backyard, and hurried into the house and said, "Dongxu, I just saw an old man coming back from the backyard, why don't you go ask him?"

"Go and ask." Jia Zhang also said.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go out of the house and go to Yi Zhonghai's house again.

"Master, what did Uncle Er just say?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"Liu Haizhong agreed. You go and notify them later. We will hold a meeting tomorrow night. We will ask the people in the hospital to help your family then." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." Jia Dongxu was very happy to hear that his master had managed the whole hospital meeting. In his opinion, as long as Yi Zhonghai held a meeting, there was nothing that could not be done.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Yi Zhonghai said.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, the originally depressing atmosphere in the Jia family had improved a lot.
