Soon, more than half of the people supported Lin Yi.
Of course, Lin Yicai would not believe that these people were supporting him. They were just forced to make such a decision because of their own interests. Once his interests conflicted with theirs, they would immediately turn against him.
Director Li was lying in bed to keep warm at this time. When she saw what these people in the group said, she almost died of anger.
"What a bunch of troublemakers! It's really troublesome! Humph, this Lin Yi is not a good guy either. You are a murderer, but you really think you are a hero!" After cursing, he quickly edited the text in the group.
"This is what the higher-ups mean. You guys, please stop causing trouble! Lin Yi, although your previous actions helped us get rid of the bad guys, who can prove that your actions were legitimate defense? If no one can prove it for you, you'll still be sued in the future. However, if you can take the lead in responding to the country's call and voluntarily hand in your public grain, this is also a positive gesture, and the police will be more lenient with you when they investigate in the future!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi sneered.
Now you want to use this trick to scare me?
Lin Yi calmly replied, "You can let me take the lead. First, show me the collection documents issued by the higher-ups. If you don't have them, you're falsely conveying the imperial decree, which is a fraudulent act."
"You..." When Director Li saw this, his lungs were about to explode with anger.
But she couldn't produce the official documents! And what Lin Yi said was the truth!
She had originally fabricated all of this in order to stockpile a large amount of supplies to ensure that she could safely survive the winter.
But if she can't produce it now, no one else can hand it over!
In this way, wouldn't all my plans go to waste?
At this time, others gradually came to their senses and started speaking in the group.
"That's right! How can we know if it's true or not if you don't produce the documents?"
"Exactly, why doesn't the government just broadcast such an important event on TV?"
"Yes, she is just the director of a neighborhood office. Even if it's about collecting public grain, it's not her turn!"
…
Director Li looked at the screen with gnashing teeth in hatred!
"Lin Yi, stop stirring up public opinion here. This document is confidential. You can't just read it if you want to!"
Lin Yi sneered and continued, "Since you can't produce it, why should we hand it over? Maybe you made up a lie to take all these supplies for yourself!"
"You...you are talking nonsense!" Director Li's purpose was exposed once again in public. She almost hated Lin Yi to death now. He actually ruined her plans again and again!
"Then produce the evidence!"
"I'm doing this for everyone's benefit. Look at how many families in the group are without food right now!"
This sentence immediately resonated with those who had no food, and they all supported it in the group.
"Now that a natural disaster has struck, we must unite together so that we can overcome this difficulty!"
"Family members, we all live in the same neighborhood. Just hand over the food! Can't we just buy it with our own money?"
"That's right! Director Li is doing this for our own good, so everyone should cooperate."
"Bah, it's already this late, and I'm still cooperating?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If the knife doesn't hit you, of course you won't feel any pain! There's no food!"
…
The two groups of people soon started arguing again in the group.
Director Li now knows that if he wants to get these supplies, he must go around Lin Yi.
So she said in the group again: "Everyone, be quiet! Paying the public grain is an order from the higher-ups. It has nothing to do with me. I won't withhold your money. Whether you pay or not is your own business. When the higher-ups blame you, consider whether you can bear it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart began to beat fast.
Although they said they would not hand it over, that was just talk. If they were really asked to learn from Lin Yixue, they would not have the courage to do so.
How would they know what the official policies are? They have to rely on these people to tell them.
They all knew that Lin Yi was just leading a commotion and it was impossible for him to really go against the authorities.
Lin Yi stopped talking. He wanted to see whether these people would hand over all the food in this life as they did in the previous life.
No one spoke in the group for a long time, but Director Li would send a video from time to time.
That means someone came to pay the public tax.
As time went on, more and more people began to pay their taxes.
People are like this, what they say and what they do are never consistent.
They were just shouting that they would never pay the public grain tax, but in just half a day, they ran over to hand it in.
Lin Yi was too lazy to care about them. When the time comes, they will know how stupid they are.
Time flies and it is already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Just then, Director Li sent a list in the group.
"These are the businesses that have voluntarily handed in their grain tax. From now on, we will collect subsidies according to the people on the list every day. In addition, when the official subsidies come in, those on the list will be given priority."
The pupils of those who had not paid yet shrank slightly after seeing this. The authorities could not possibly ignore them. If the official subsidies really came, wouldn’t they not get any?
Thinking of this, the group of people quickly said in the group:
"I'll hand it in right away. I've been sorting out the food, but now I've finished it."
"Me too, me too. We ordinary people must support the official policies."
"And me, I'll turn it in too. Director Li, please don't bother with us."
…
Seeing how cooperative everyone was, Director Li sneered.
"It's okay. I also thank everyone for understanding my work."
Soon, the rest of the people also ran to pay their taxes.
At this time, Liu Rumeng and her family were staring at their phones in a daze.
"Dad, should we also pay our taxes?"
Liu Shanchuan was silent for a moment and then said, "Of course we have to pay, but we can only pay a portion. Anyway, they don't know how much food we have at home."
Time flies and it’s already eight o’clock.
Director Li sent out another list of names.
"Thank you all for your support. Now, the Lin Yi family is the only one in the entire community that hasn't paid. Lin Yi, if you pay now, I can still let you go. If you wait until the official supplies arrive, I won't give it to you even if you beg me!"
Looking at this, Lin Yi sneered and sent two words in the group: "Whatever!"
When she saw these two words, her blood pressure soared with anger.
She originally thought that since everyone had handed it in, as long as she scared Lin Yi he would hand it in voluntarily, but she didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
"Okay, Lin Yi, don't regret it!" After saying these harsh words, she rushed into the bedroom excitedly, her eyes shining as she looked at the room full of food.
"Haha, now I don't have to worry about not being able to survive the winter!"
Lin Yi sneered and muttered to himself: "I hope you won't regret it when you are forced to jump off the building by the angry crowd the day after tomorrow!"
