Chapter 193
That momentum—it was clearly time for an assembly.
Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat; she had an ominous premonition.
Jia Zhang Shi ran out of the room with her hair disheveled and grabbed Qin Huairu by the arm: "What have you been doing!"
"Are you blind? They've emptied our house out!"
"I'm going to call the police, I'm going to find Director Wang!"
"These people are bullying us!"
122. Liu Hai Zhong suffers a brain hemorrhage after being beaten by Jia Zhang Shi!
Yi Zhonghai had gone out earlier to avoid the disaster.
By the time he returned, the people in the Sihe Academy had already spontaneously convened an assembly.
On the Eight Immortals table in the center, quite a lot of things were piled up.
Everyone was also holding quite a bit in their own hands.
Liu Hai Zhong took the lead; he completely considered himself the First Master.
He had been using official jargon to criticize Jia Zhang Shi and Qin Huairu for over half an hour.
"Old Yi, you've returned just in time. Take a look for yourself—this is the 'needy household' you were talking about!"
"If we hadn't been pushed to the limit and gone to search the house ourselves, we wouldn't have known!"
"The needy household in our Sihe Academy is actually wealthier than all of us!"
Liu Hai Zhong was so angry his lungs were about to explode.
He had actually lost his position as Second Master because of such a piece of trash.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai return, Jia Zhang Shi hurriedly rushed over and grabbed his arm.
"Old Yi, you've finally returned. Take a look—these people have become completely lawless."
"They actually broke into my house and snatched things."
"They are breaking the law. I'm going to call the police to arrest them!"
Jia Zhang Shi was on the verge of entering a state of madness.
She had run rampant in the Sihe Academy for so many years; she had never experienced such a thing before.
Of course, there had been times.
It was just that, back then, she was the one going to other people's houses to snatch things.
But for it to be the other way around? That was absolutely not allowed!
Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, Lu Jianye stood out: "Yi Zhonghai, you really are a good First Master for everyone."
"In the past, you were the one who took the lead in making everyone donate money and supplies to Jia Zhang Shi's family."
"In the end, you didn't contribute a single cent, while everyone else was bankrupted."
"Now look—this is the 'needy household' everyone donated to."
"They are drinking our blood!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves.
"Lu Jianye is right. We were bankrupted, yet Yi Zhonghai gained a good reputation!"
"Only now do we know that Jia Zhang Shi's family is wealthier than all of us!"
"Last time, Director Wang made the three Masters compensate us with money; this time, we are going to demand money from Jia Zhang Shi's family!"
"Everything donated in the past, both money and goods, must be returned!"
These people had made up their minds.
Having been deceived by Yi Zhonghai for so many years, they were not willing to let it go.
Now, they had to get it back.
Liu Hai Zhong raised both hands in agreement: "I agree!"
"The two of us Masters also gave out quite a lot of things; we must get them back too!"
"It's settled then. If Jia Zhang Shi goes to the police, we'll call the police too!"
"We've been deceived for so many years; let the neighborhood office and the Gongan Bureau comrades come and talk this over."
Lu Jianye took the opportunity to say: "If anyone disagrees, then write this matter into a story and submit it to the newspapers and television stations."
"Let our Sihe Academy really show off!"
"Let Jia Zhang Shi's family set an example for the people of the whole country!"
Good heavens.
Lu Jianye's suggestion scared Jia Zhang Shi out of her wits.
The fact that Especially Bang Geng had become a little eunuch had already ruined the Jia family's reputation.
If this matter were to end up in the newspapers and on television, their family would truly have no face left to see anyone.
They could just go straight back to the countryside.
Liu Hai Zhong had already taken the lead in taking things back.
The others, not as bold as him, even listed out the items they had donated back in the day.
Before long.
The quilts in Jia Zhang Shi's house had all been snatched away.
Qin Huairu burst into tears.
How was she supposed to live like this?
Everything was fine before; how did they suddenly become complete paupers?
What would she use to get Especially Bang Geng married and find a wife in the future?
Jia Zhang Shi was already sitting on the ground, wailing loudly.
"Oh Heavens, I can't go on living!"
"My house has been hit by thieves!"
"Old home, Dongxu, you must take them away; they are bullying us!"
Yi Zhonghai's face was dark as he stared at Lu Jianye in the crowd.
To put it bluntly, he was the one who had done this.
During those years he served as First Master, the most glorious thing he had done was to donate to the Jia family.
But now.
Lu Jianye had slapped him in the face!
At this moment.
Lu Jianye was also looking at Yi Zhonghai: "Former First Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I see you don't look happy. Is it because you can't get back the things you sent to Qin Huairu in the middle of the night?"
"You were an eighth-grade fitter at the rolling mill; you must have had the habit of keeping accounts."
"Yi Tie Niu, go home and look carefully; your father must have an account book."
"Bring it out and let everyone see how much your father secretly sent away."
"Liu Hai Zhong and Yan Bugui have both gotten their things back; Yi Zhonghai shouldn't be any different."
You hypocritical old thing!
Aren't you the one who cares most about reputation, who loves to gild your own face?
I'll peel your skin right off!
Yi Zhonghai was so angry he was half-dead; his old face was beyond looking at.
The Deaf Old Lady tapped her little cane directly on the ground.
But they had no way out.
They could only watch helplessly.
Lu Jianye looked at He Yushui again and said: "Yushui, you and your silly brother haven't severed ties yet, nor have you split the household."
"How much did your silly brother give away? You should take it all back."
"Your silly brother had two months of wages deducted; if you don't take things back, you'll be drinking the northwest wind with him from now on."
