Seeing Lin Yang's stubbornness, Yi Zhonghai was very dissatisfied.
His eyes flashed with anger: "Lin Yang! What do you mean by that? Everyone else has donated, why are you trying to be different?"
"What do you mean everyone donated!" Lin Yang frowned and said, "Grandpa, what makes you think you can represent everyone?"
"Because I'm the head of this compound!" Yi Zhonghai said sternly when he saw Lin Yang challenging his authority, "Do you have any objections to the neighborhood committee appointing me as the head of this compound?"
"That's right!" Although Sha Zhu was afraid that Lin Yang would hit him again, he didn't want Yi Zhonghai's authority to be challenged.
In the past, he could tease chickens and dogs and act recklessly in the courtyard without any problems, entirely relying on Yi Zhonghai's protection.
If Yi Zhonghai's authority is shaken, his words will certainly not carry as much weight in the future as they do now.
If he causes trouble again, even if Yi Zhonghai wants to protect him, there may not be anyone who listens.
Therefore, after Sha Zhu finished speaking, he immediately walked to the shore by Yi Zhonghai Lake, stared at Lin Yang with wide eyes, and said:
“Yangzi, although you are a security guard, once you’re off duty you’re a resident of the courtyard house, and you have to listen to the old man!”
Seeing that Sha Zhu had reappeared, Lin Yang completely ignored him.
He merely stared at Yi Zhonghai and said loudly:
"Uncle, it's good that the neighborhood committee appointed you as the head of the neighborhood committee. They hope you can serve the residents of our compound!"
"Otherwise, you'll be morally blackmailing all of us!"
"And certainly not to let you use your power as an old man to do illegal things!"
"I think I have time. I'm going to go to Director Wang's office in the neighborhood and suggest that she replace you!"
"Let Uncle Er sit in this seat instead!"
Upon hearing these words, Uncle Liu Haizhong became immediately excited.
If I could really be a grandpa, that would be wonderful.
He had wanted to replace Yi Zhonghai as the eldest son for many years.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai had long established his authority in the courtyard after being a senior figure for so many years.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter at the steel rolling mill, which was more skilled than him, a seventh-level fitter.
This idea could only be kept in mind, but now it has suddenly been brought up by Lin Yang.
Even though Liu Haizhong knew that Director Wang might not agree, he still fantasized for a while about sitting in the old man's seat.
Upon hearing the phrase "moral blackmail," the other neighbors unanimously agreed with Lin Yang's words.
you do not say!
At the start of the meeting, Yi Zhonghai announced that he wanted to donate money.
At the same time, he had Sha Zhu acting as his shill below; who couldn't see his intentions?
In addition, they kept saying that Sha Zhu's thinking had become progressive, and that the other two old men should take the lead.
Isn't this just using moral blackmail to force people to donate?
Yi Zhonghai's words infuriated everyone.
What a joke! Although I do sometimes favor the Jia family and Sha Zhu, I am fair in most of the time.
Moral blackmail is completely baseless.
In his view, everything he did was right!
How can this be called moral blackmail?
As for using an elderly person's power to do illegal things, that's utter nonsense.
What illegal things could I possibly do?
What exactly is Lin Yang's situation?
They were fine just a couple of days ago, and there was no problem getting him to help get people out of trouble.
Why is it so hard to get him to donate some money today?
Yi Zhonghai grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he pointed at Lin Yang with a furious expression, saying:
"Lin Yang, tell me, how did I morally blackmail you, and how did I break the law!"
Lin Yang curled his lip and said, "You've been pressuring everyone to donate to the Jia family all day. Isn't that moral blackmail?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi realized that something was amiss.
She immediately shouted, "Lin Yang, don't talk nonsense! Donating money to our family is an act of kindness between neighbors! How can you call it moral blackmail?!"
Sha Zhu also chimed in loudly, "That's right, that's right! You don't have compassion yourself, so you can't expect others to have compassion?"
The deaf old woman added, "Lin Yang, Zhonghai has never forced anyone to donate money. You can't just say things like that!"
"Okay!" Lin Yang smiled and looked at Xu Damao, saying, "Xu Damao, did you hear that? The old lady said that an old man like you wouldn't force anyone to donate. Do you still want to donate your entire month's salary?"
"Um... this..." Xu Damao didn't want to get involved in these things. He stammered for a long time before finally saying vaguely, "I'm doing this for charity, of course I'll donate."
"No, no, no!" Sha Zhu suddenly got excited!
He pointed at Xu Damao and looked at Lin Yang with a hint of provocation, saying, "Look, look, Xu Damao himself said that he is doing this out of charity."
"Xu Damao, are you stupid?!" Lou Xiao'e, standing next to Xu Damao, lowered her voice and said to him with dissatisfaction, "Yangzi is helping us, why are you undermining him like this!"
"Are you stupid, E'zi!" Xu Damao lowered his head and whispered to Lou Xiao'e, "This is Lin Yang and Uncle Yi putting on a show against each other. If I say I won't donate, won't I offend Uncle Yi, Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady, and the Jia family?"
In his mind, Lin Yang had offended him, but he couldn't do anything to him anyway.
But Sha Zhu is different; this guy will actually hit people.
Besides, he was a little guilty, in case Jia Dongxu really got injured while making parts for him.
He donated the money, so he could talk to Jia Dongxu about it and tell him not to make a fuss.
Lin Yang heard Xu Damao's words and thought that this guy was a bit out of touch.
I tried to make him pay less, but he sabotaged me.
However, he wasn't too angry, because he knew Xu Damao's character.
However, seeing the smug looks on Yi Zhonghai and his group's faces, Lin Yang sneered:
"Okay, let's assume Xu Damao's donation was voluntary!"
"But to whom should this donation be given?"
Yi Zhonghai subconsciously replied, "Of course, give it to me first, and then I'll collect them all and hand them over to the Jia family!"
“That’s right, I’ve entrusted this whole matter to Uncle Yi!” Jia Zhangshi nodded in agreement, appearing to be supporting Yi Zhonghai.
Lin Yang said loudly, "I think that you two, Uncle and Grandma Jia, didn't report your fundraising to Director Wang at the neighborhood committee office!"
Jia Zhangshi looked at Lin Yang speechlessly and said, "Lin Yang, what exactly are you trying to say? Do we need the neighborhood committee's approval to show our love and care for the Jia family?!"
Yi Zhonghai also sighed in a mocking manner and said, "Yangzi, if you don't want to do charity, then forget it. Don't make a fuss here!"
He then looked around at everyone and said, "The weather is quite cold now, so let's finish donating as soon as possible and go home!"
Perhaps because he's used to standing on the moral high ground, Yi Zhonghai doesn't forget to incite the masses even at this moment.
We're just waiting for you to admit it!
Lin Yang sneered inwardly, then looked at Yi Zhonghai and said in a slightly heavy tone:
"Grandpa, whether I donate or not is no longer important!"
"The important thing is that you are now suspected of breaking the law!!!"
