After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Haizhong stopped arguing with Yi Zhonghai and asked seriously, "Old Yi, what do you say we should do?"
"This is what I think. Look, everyone is short of food now, but most families in our courtyard are doing OK."
"It's almost the New Year, so let's organize a meeting for everyone in the compound. The three of us will take the lead and help those who are in need at home. Then you can see what happens next."
Yi Zhonghai did not mention the Jia family, and Liu Haizhong did not think about this. Instead, he began to seriously think about Yi Zhonghai's proposal.
"What you said seems to make sense. Whoever we help will surely remember us well!" Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up as he spoke.
"Right, we can do this, but we don't have any problem. The only problem is with Old Yan. I'm afraid he won't agree." Yi Zhonghai said pretentiously.
Liu Haizhong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "We all agree. Let's take the lead in donating some things. Do you think he will be embarrassed? Will he still be embarrassed to let people call him Uncle San?"
"Okay, but let's call Old Yan to discuss it. Don't make things too awkward. You know Old Yan's temper." Yi Zhonghai persuaded.
Liu Haizhong didn't care about other people's feelings at all. He waved his hand and said, "What this and that? If he doesn't agree, then he won't be allowed to be the third uncle. There are plenty of people who are willing to be the third uncle."
Liu Haizhong acts as if he has the final say and can force anyone to step down.
"Okay, Lao Liu, I'll go call Lao Yan over! Let's have a good talk with him." Seeing that his goal of fooling Liu Haizhong had been achieved, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to find Yan Fugui.
Liu Haizhong was very satisfied with Yi Zhonghai's tact. He leaned lazily against the kang and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Wait for him to come over and just tell him."
Yi Zhonghai doesn't care about Liu Haizhong's attitude, as long as he can achieve his goal.
When Yi Zhonghai arrived at the front yard, Yan Fugui was squatting at the door acting as a door god.
"Old Yan, let's go to Old Liu's house and discuss something."
"Where are you going?" Yan Fugui asked with some confusion. He now had some trauma about the three of them getting together. For such a long time, the three of them had gotten together but hadn't accomplished anything, and he had been cheated several times.
"Let's go first, you'll know when you get there." Yi Zhonghai urged.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's anxious look, Yan Fugui didn't say much. At worst, he would just not get involved. So he followed Yi Zhonghai to Liu Haizhong's house.
Yan Fugui entered the room, and Liu Haizhong lazily leaned there and said to Yan Fugui condescendingly: "Old Yan is here."
Then he said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, tell him what we just discussed."
Yan Fugui felt as if he was a primary school student being scolded by his teacher. What was going on? Yan Fugui could only turn around and look at Yi Zhonghai who brought him here.
"Oh, that's what happened. I discussed it with Lao Liu and found that people in the hospital are taking us three uncles less and less seriously. Lao Yan, do you think that's right?"
When Yi Zhonghai saw that Liu Haizhong's attitude was just right, he asked him to take the blame for him and treated it as if Liu Haizhong had brought up the matter.
When Yan Fugui heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he immediately said with great emotion and excitement: "Old Yi, you are right. Now these people don't take us three uncles seriously at all."
"Tell me, just yesterday, that bastard Xu Damao brought something back, and I wanted to take a look, but he didn't even let me take a look and just walked around me."
Yan Fugui has been indignant about this matter. He doesn't know since when he could no longer gain any advantage from the hospital.
"That's exactly the case. Old Liu and I have decided that we can't continue like this. If we continue like this, the three of us will become mere decorations." Yi Zhonghai had to mention Liu Haizhong every time he spoke, as if all this was Liu Haizhong's idea.
Liu Haizhong was very satisfied that Yi Zhonghai always mentioned him.
"So what tricks do you have?" Yan Fugui regretted asking this question as soon as he asked it. He immediately had a bad feeling in his heart that he had taken the bait.
"Old Yan, I discussed this with Old Liu. We both think that everyone in the compound is having a hard time recently. The New Year is coming soon. If we don't help some families, they may not be able to have a good year."
"It's just right. We can take advantage of the New Year and take the lead to help the needy families in our hospital," said Yi Zhonghai.
Yan Fugui knew what Yi Zhonghai was planning after listening halfway through. He was not like old Liu Zhong, who would do anything to become an official.
Yan Fugui was silent for a long time.
"Old Yan, what do you think of this idea that Old Liu and I have?" Yi Zhonghai asked when he saw that Yan Fugui had no response.
Yan Fugui was almost cursing in his heart. Yi Zhonghai, this wicked guy, was trying to contribute something to the Jia family in a roundabout way.
Seeing Yan Fugui remained silent, Liu Haizhong became excited and stopped lying there. He sat up and said loudly, "This is settled. We need to let these people in the hospital know that the three of us are useful. Let's see who dares to challenge us."
Yan Fugui: "..." My opinion is useless, so why did you call me over? Just to let me pay?
"Okay, Lao Liu, it's settled. Ask your children to notify everyone to go to the meeting later." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Wait, wait." Yan Fugui shouted hurriedly as he was about to pay.
"What's wrong?" Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai stared at Yan Fugui in unison, as if they were going to eat him if he expressed any objection.
Yan Fugui hesitated for a moment, and felt that his money was more important, so he said, "Should we discuss this?"
Liu Haizhong said with a straight face: "No need to discuss, it's settled."
"I actually have an idea." Yi Zhonghai said suddenly with an idea.
Yan Fugui thought Yi Zhonghai would say that there was no need to donate grain, so he looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly. Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai said, "I think it's not safe to hold a meeting directly. Let's divide the grain and go door to door to persuade them."
Yan Fugui's head was buzzing. He had to go through so much effort to donate his things.
"This is a good idea. Let's split up and choose those with whom we have a good relationship." Liu Haizhong agreed with Yi Zhonghai's idea.
In the end, Yan Fugui had no choice but to agree and persuade others to donate some food to families in need.
But who is in need in the compound? No doubt it must be the Jia family.
