Lin Tian was quite surprised when Jia Dongxu came to inform him that the meeting was about to begin.
Although Jia Dongxu didn't say what he was going to do, Lin Tian couldn't guess that he was probably going to ask the people in the compound to help the Jia family.
Lin Tian himself guessed it, but some people couldn't figure it out.
Xu Damao came over and asked, "Brother, Jia Dongxu just came to notify us to hold a meeting. Do you know what it is?"
"What could happen? Didn't you see that Jia Zhang came back at that time?" Lin Tian said.
"What's the matter?" Xu Damao is sometimes just a fool.
"The Jia family's land is gone, you know?" Lin Tian said.
"I know. It was your third uncle who told me." Xu Damao replied.
"Jia Dongxu is the only one in the Jia family who eats the rationed grain, and now the share from the countryside is gone. What do you think his family can do?" Lin Tian wanted to kick this idiot.
"Oh, aren't they asking us to help the Jia family?" Xu Damao suddenly reacted.
"Of course."
"Then can Secretary Wu allow the meeting to be held?"
"Why not? I don't have the time to deal with these trivial matters."
"Yeah, what should we do then?" Xu Damao asked.
"What can I do? Just leave it alone. You can't stop the meeting." Lin Tian said.
"You want to help the Jia family. Do you think the Jia family really doesn't have enough food?" Xu Damao asked curiously.
"It's none of my business. It should be barely enough, but this is the situation of an average family. There is only one person in his family who has a ration of food, and if he wants to eat rice and flour, it will definitely not be enough."
"If it were a family that really couldn't afford to eat, even if they switched to cornmeal, they still wouldn't be able to eat that much," Lin Tian explained.
"What kind of meeting is this?" Xu Damao cursed angrily.
"Hey, who doesn't want to eat better?"
"Bah, does his family have the conditions?" Xu Damao spat and said.
"Haha, let me tell you..." Lin Tian gave an idea in Xu Damao's ear.
"Hahaha, this is a good idea." Xu Damao said with great joy.
"Then let's wait for the meeting tomorrow." Lin Tian said.
The next day, after Lin Tian came back, Jia Dongxu came to inform him again that the meeting would start soon.
"Here they come, here they come." Xu Damao said to Lin Tian as they sat aside.
Almost everyone in the compound had arrived. Xu Damao pointed at Yi Zhonghai and led the Jia family out.
"And, look." Xu Damao gestured to Lin Tian to look to the other side.
Shazhu also came out today. It seems like I haven’t seen him much recently.
"Good evening, neighbors." Yi Zhonghai was no longer as reserved as before, but spoke directly when he saw that the people were present.
"Old Yi, you are not the boss anymore. What do you want to do by organizing this whole hospital meeting?" Yan Fugui was the first to come out and attack Yi Zhonghai.
I guess he guessed what Yi Zhonghai was going to do, so he rushed out to attack Yi Zhonghai first, otherwise he would cry if he really suffered losses.
"Old Yan, don't worry. We do have something to do today and we need to trouble all the neighbors in the compound." Yi Zhonghai said calmly.
But at this moment Yan Fugui discovered something: Jia Zhang was staring at him viciously, and for a moment he was so scared that he dared not respond.
"Something happened in the Jia family recently. I believe many neighbors know about it."
"All of a sudden, the Jia family will have a lot less food every year. As everyone knows, Dongxu is the only one in the Jia family who eats the rations."
"So today I still hope that the neighbors can lend a helping hand, and everyone can help the Jia family together, donate some food to the Jia family, and help the Jia family overcome the difficulties."
Yi Zhonghai described the Jia family as pitiful, implying that if no one helped them today, the Jia family would starve to death tomorrow.
"Old Yi, what you said is not right. I was the only one earning money in our family, but I still raised Jie Cheng." Yan Fugui objected. Asking him to donate things was just dreaming.
"Yes, how long will this help last?" Zhujia also came out to object.
Liu Haizhong was cursing inwardly: This Yi Zhonghai is a piece of shit. He said he wanted everyone's help, but ended up donating grain to the Jia family. He thought they were just exchanging grain or something.
"Yes, Old Yi, how long will it take to donate the grain?" Liu Haizhong also came out to object. Yi Zhonghai cannot be allowed to succeed.
"Old Yi, let me make a suggestion. Since the Jia family is in such a difficult situation, let's ask Secretary Wu to help find some odd jobs for Jia Zhang on the street. Jia Zhang is not even fifty years old yet, so doing some work will definitely be enough to supplement the family income." Yan Fugui said.
"Yes, this is a good idea. My mother is also taking odd jobs. Jia Zhang is younger than my mother." Wang Er also spoke up.
"Oh my, you are so annoying. How can I do my job? Old Jia, please come out and take a look at these heartless people..." As Jia Zhang listened, she thought that she had to take odd jobs. Odd jobs these days were basically labor-intensive and strenuous. How could she be willing to do them?
Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly turned dark. No matter what the matter was, there was someone holding him back.
Jia Dongxu quickly covered his mother's mouth, meaning stop shouting, or it would be over.
For a moment, everyone in the compound looked at Yi Zhonghai with displeasure.
What it means is: If you are lazy and want to do something good, then help yourself.
"Okay, Dongxu, quickly pull your mother into the house." Yi Zhonghai also felt it was too embarrassing. Even if someone wanted to help, who would be willing to help after such a commotion?
"I don't want to work. Whoever wants to do it can do it!" Jia Zhang was still mumbling as Jia Dongxu pulled her into the house.
Lin Tian was also very upset. Jia Zhang was usually quite bad. Why did she lose her mind and start making trouble when she was asked to do something?
"Uncle, let me make a suggestion." Xu Damao jumped out at the critical moment.
Yi Zhonghai and his gang stared at him intently, fearing that he would say something else.
Xu Damao looked at this group of people and swallowed his saliva: "The Jia family is almost out of food now, I think no one else in the compound can help, but there is one person who can definitely help."
Everyone was looking at Xu Damao who was keeping the secret.
Then Xu Damao continued, "Shazhu works as a cook in the cafeteria. He brings back boxes of leftovers to the Jia family every night. Now they are all solved."
After listening to Xu Damao, everyone looked at Sha Zhu.
Those who reacted quickly thought in their hearts: Xu Damao is really wicked. He asked Sha Zhu to help the Jia family.
Sha Zhu was also stunned. How come it happened to him all of a sudden?
However, Xu Damao's words immediately opened up the Jia family's thinking.
"Zhu Zi, about this?" Yi Zhonghai also looked at Sha Zhu.
"What does it have to do with me? I can eat all that myself!" Sha Zhu patted his butt and went into the house.
"Pillar, pillar!" Yi Zhonghai also thought that this was a good idea. Once it was successful, he would not have to pay for the food and money himself.
So Yi Zhonghai hurriedly chased Sha Zhu into the house.
