"Impossible!" Yi Zhonghai hurriedly denied, "How could I possibly break the law? Lin Yang, don't talk nonsense!"
Yi Zhonghai was genuinely a little flustered. The New Year was just around the corner, and he was hoping to be recognized as an outstanding individual.
If he's really involved in illegal activities, forget about being an advanced individual.
It seems likely that the "advanced collective" designation for courtyard houses will be revoked.
After all, the law-breaking behavior of the supervisor is much more serious than that of an ordinary resident.
Yan Fugui also thought of the advanced collective.
I've already donated five yuan myself. If I still can't get the supplies from the advanced collective, I'll be at a huge loss!
Therefore, he quickly stood up and looked at Lin Yang, saying, "Yangzi, don't talk nonsense! How could Old Yi possibly break the law!"
The neighbors around also started talking about it.
Clearly, everyone was curious as to why Lin Yang said Yi Zhonghai had broken the law.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Yang sighed and said:
"Uncle, it's not that I'm deliberately causing trouble, but organizing everyone to donate to the Jia family this time is truly illegal!"
"According to my country's Charity Law, no organization or individual may conduct fundraising activities in the name of charity without the approval of the charity organization registration and management authority!"
“How can an old man like you, who is not qualified to conduct public fundraising, decide to raise funds for the Jia family without approval from any organization or by reporting to the neighborhood committee?”
"To put it bluntly, this is illegal fundraising! This is far more serious than speculation!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately turned grim.
He didn't know anything about illegal fundraising, but he did know about speculation and profiteering!
A while ago, some young people in a nearby courtyard were taken away to eat peanuts because of speculation and profiteering.
Now that Lin Yang says illegal fundraising is even more serious than speculation, how can he not be alarmed?
He quickly said, "Yangzi, you can't talk nonsense! I donated money to the Jia family out of good intentions. How can you bring up illegal fundraising?"
"Whether or not this involves illegal fundraising isn't up to us!" Lin Yang sighed. "Uncle, if this gets out, the reputation of our courtyard house is a small matter, but your eating peanuts is a big deal!"
Lin Yang kept accusing Lin Yang of illegal fundraising and of eating peanuts.
Yi Zhonghai trembled upon hearing this.
He quickly looked at Lin Yang and said, "Yangzi, I haven't received the money yet, so it's not illegal. I'm just making a suggestion to everyone!"
Then he looked at Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, Sha Zhu, the deaf old woman, and Sha Zhu and the others, and said:
"Gentlemen, if you want to donate money, just give it to Jia Zhangshi!"
"I'm not getting involved in this!"
Hearing this, Lin Yang stretched and said, "Uncle, does that mean this matter ends here? If so, I'm going back to sleep!"
Qin Huairu was secretly anxious. It was bad enough that this nemesis wouldn't donate money.
They even ruined the fundraising event.
Without these donations, how would she support this large family in the future?
Thinking of this, she disregarded everything else and hurriedly looked at Yi Zhonghai, saying, "Uncle, what about our family's donation?"
"Well..." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "Why don't you guys talk to everyone yourselves again? Anyway, I can't get involved in this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi also exclaimed, "Old Yi, what about the month's salary you promised to donate? You can't just forget about that, can you?"
"Yangzi, it should be okay to do charity work in private, right?" Yi Zhonghai asked Lin Yang cautiously.
"Of course it's fine, as long as no one organizes it!" Lin Yang shrugged.
"That's good!" Yi Zhonghai said with relief, then looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Little Qin, come to my house to get the money later. I always keep my promise."
“Shazhu, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Deaf Old Lady Xu Damao, you won’t go back on your word, will you?” Jia Zhangshi called out their names one by one.
Before the others could speak, the third uncle realized that things might be turning around and he might not have to donate his money.
His small eyes darted slightly behind his glasses, and he immediately looked at Madam Jia with a cheerful smile, saying:
"Young lady, I was a bit embarrassed by Lao Yi just now, so I impulsively said I wanted to donate!"
"But now that I think about it, I realize that my family simply can't come up with five yuan!"
"You know how little salary I have, I plan my months down perfectly!"
"If we were to give your family five yuan, we would be starving by the end of the month!"
Upon hearing that the five yuan she was about to lose was about to slip away, Jia Zhangshi immediately pulled a long face and said with great displeasure, "Old Yan, are you even human? You just agreed to donate five yuan, why are you going back on your word now!"
"What are you doing, Jia Zhangshi!" The third aunt, who had been standing behind the third uncle, pulled him aside and stepped forward to look at Jia Zhangshi, saying, "You really have no shame! Charity donations are based on the principle of voluntariness. How can you force people to donate like this!"
“Third Aunt, that’s not right of you!” Jia Zhangshi retorted, not to be outdone. “Your husband just said he would donate five yuan to our family, how come he changed his mind in the blink of an eye!”
The three women curled their lip and said, "Yangzi just said not to use moral blackmail, and you're still doing it! This money belongs to our family, can't I just not do charity anymore???"
Seeing this, the second uncle had a change of heart and wanted to back out as well.
Although his family is not short of money, twenty yuan is still a lot!
But Liu Haizhong was too proud to speak up.
