Chapter 653 Courtyard 29
"Xiao Lin, you misunderstood. Your two families are the only ones in the courtyard that have women supporting the household. I'm sure you can empathize with the difficulties involved, so I mentioned you first.
After all, Jia's sister-in-law is much older than you and has experienced more..."
Before Yi Zhonghai could finish his words, Lin Sui interrupted him.
"I have been living alone for a long time, and I have never seen our courtyard hold a meeting specifically for me to help me.
Of course, I'm not that shameless. I can live a decent life, but I still suck the blood of others."
Having said that, Jia Zhang suddenly stood up and started scolding Lin Sui.
"Who is the one who's sucking blood from others? Asking our two families to help each other is ultimately the only one who's at a disadvantage. You're an orphan with no parents. If it weren't for the fact that we're neighbors, who would want to associate with a bastard like you?"
Lin Sui's expression was calm, without a trace of anger.
"I don't know if I'm incompatible with my parents, but Aunt Jia is definitely incompatible with her parents.
Otherwise, her husband wouldn't have died, and later even her son died."
Jia Zhang screamed and was about to rush forward to fight Lin Sui.
Lin Sui would not put her energy into attacking Jia Zhangshi, as she was afraid of being blackmailed.
Instead, he picked up the long bench he was sitting on and placed it upright in front of him, keeping Jia Zhang far away so that she could not touch him at all.
Although Yi Zhonghai's expression did not change, he was already furious inside. He didn't expect that Lin Sui was so ungrateful and didn't even give him face.
His expression immediately turned serious. "We're in a meeting. What's the point? Sister-in-law Jia, please sit down first. We can talk after the meeting."
Although Jia Zhang was unwilling, she still retreated. In her opinion, since Yi Zhonghai decided to bind Lin Sui to their family, this matter would definitely be accomplished.
It’s not too late to deal with this little girl later.
Yi Zhonghai turned and looked at Lin Sui with a scolding tone.
"Our courtyard is an excellent courtyard with a long tradition of helping neighbors. I didn't expect your ideas, Xiaolin, to be so backward that you even resort to feudal superstitions.
Are you worthy of the "Home of Honor" sign hanging on your door by doing this? Are you worthy of your parents' blood and sacrifice for the peace of our homeland?"
Lin Sui did not give in, and looked at Yi Zhonghai with calm and generous eyes.
"My parents shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the stability of New China and for the redemption of the vast majority of people.
It does not mean that they will allow their children to be taken away without reason.
The uncle has been saying that the Jia family is in trouble. What exactly are the difficulties?
Compared with other children in the yard, the children of the Jia family are whiter and fatter.
Before this incident, there were always people in the Jia family working in the factory. They couldn't even eat cornmeal steamed bread and had to eat white flour buns all day long. Which family in need could eat so well?
Letting the Jia family and I help each other means that I should help the Jia family more financially.
I am so weak that I cannot bear the burden of supporting the entire Jia family.
There are several cases in our yard where one person's salary is used to support a whole family.
Not to mention others, the third uncle's family is in the same situation, so why is the Jia family in trouble?
I just don’t understand. Why don’t you help so many people who need help, but only focus on helping the Jia family?
When Jia Dongxu got into trouble, the factory gave him 500 yuan in compensation. Was it spent so quickly?
Besides, the reason she lost her job this time was because Aunt Jia stole a lot of things from the factory.
Although the factory deducted her salary, the things she stole were discounted at cost price and none of the items were taken back. Isn't this considered taking care of the Jia family?
If Aunt Jia sells these things, she can not only make up for the deducted wages, but she may even make some money.
What exactly is the difficulty in their family?
If you want to talk about real difficulties, it's Uncle Qi in the backyard. He has a limp in one leg, has lost his son and daughter-in-law, and has to raise a little grandson. The grandfather and grandson don't have a proper job, so they rely on odd jobs to earn some money. This is the real difficulty.
You don't want to help him, but insist on helping the Jia family. The intricacies of this are really worth pondering."
Lin Sui said this with profound meaning, without even slowing down his tone, and continued, "I don't think the Jia family is in trouble, so I won't donate to them.
However, since the uncle has held this meeting to help each other, it cannot be in vain.
I think Uncle Qi's family needs more help, so I donated five kilograms of corn flour.
If you want to help others, you have to be practical. These days, you can't buy anything even if you have money but no tickets.
An old man organized a donation to the Jia family, but he didn't know what kind of difficulties the Jia family had.
From what I see now, it was his own fault that he lost his job, so he wanted to organize everyone to support the family together.
I don’t know if this is another form of exploitation of working people.”
Although Lin Sui muttered the last sentence in a low voice, his voice was loud enough that almost everyone present could hear it clearly.
Lin Sui's words reminded many old neighbors of their previous donations.
Since Jia Dongxu's accident, Siheyuan has organized donations to the Jia family more than once.
Xiao Lin is right. What exactly is the difficulty facing the Jia family?
In the past, they only thought about the difficulties faced by the Jia family, an orphan and a widow, and never thought about what difficulties the Jia family had when they had pensions and received salaries every month.
Even Yan Bugui only realized after Lin Sui mentioned it just now that he had been scheming and calculating all the time, but had never noticed such a simple thing.
I never thought that I was supporting a family with just one person's salary, and my situation was even worse than the Jia family's. What kind of money was I donating to them?
Although he thought so in his heart, Yan Bugui did not show any strange expression on his face.
He just glanced at Yi Zhonghai secretly, then at the old neighbors in the yard, wanting to see how things would develop next.
Although Lin Sui's words did not mention anyone by name, they directly exposed Yi Zhonghai's shamelessness.
He could no longer maintain his usual upright demeanor as a patriarch, and was gasping for breath in anger.
The expression he had been trying to keep calm could no longer hold back, and anyone could see that he was on the verge of a rage.
"Lin Sui, you are too presumptuous! You don't know how to unite the neighbors, and you even speculate about the thoughts of the manager of the courtyard and maliciously slander him.
No sympathy for neighbors in need.
You are unworthy of the 'Home of Honor' sign that your parents sacrificed for. Our yard has no room for people like you!
I propose that we all vote to expel Lin Sui from Compound No. 95!"
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Jia Zhang raised her hand impatiently.
"Who dares?"
At the same time, a scolding came from outside the yard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Director Wang of the street office walking into the yard with a sullen face.
