Chapter 15

"Perhaps my divorce was directly caused by him, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai flew into a rage, slamming the table and glaring: "Nonsense!"

"Your divorce is your own problem; what does it have to do with Jia Jia Jia Dongxu? Everyone here knows that."

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's chosen successor for old-age care, as well as his apprentice.

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's reputation concerned Yi Zhonghai's reputation.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai had to side with Jia Jia Jia Dongxu.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye glanced at him and said, "First Uncle, you may say that, but the rest of us might not believe it."

"I just want to ask everyone: isn't the most virtuous and respected person in our courtyard the Deaf Old Lady?"

"And aren't the spokespersons selected by the Subdistrict Office Yi Zhonghai, Liu Liu Liu Hai Zhong, and Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui?"

The crowd nodded repeatedly, thereby acknowledging Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's words.

The three uncles exchanged glances, none of them knowing what scheme Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was plotting.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye continued, "Since everyone agrees, then this matter is easy to handle."

"Doesn't greater ability mean greater responsibility?"

"Then let the three uncles and the Deaf Old Lady donate first!"

"This will also give everyone a chance to learn."

"Come on, everyone, let's applaud to welcome them!"

"Let us witness the role models of our courtyard and see their ability and responsibility."

What?

Upon hearing these words, the three uncles were instantly stunned.

After all this maneuvering, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had been waiting for them right here.

On what grounds?

They were the managing uncles selected by the Subdistrict Office, not fools to be fleeced!

They had convened this assembly for everyone else to donate!

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui, in particular, was immediately displeased.

He was about to open his mouth and rebuke Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

But by then, the people in the courtyard had come to their senses, and thunderous applause instantly erupted.

At previous donation drives, those three uncles had never parted with a single penny; it was always them donating.

This Third Third Third Third Time, they must be made to bleed!

"The three uncles' wages are not low; each should donate at least thirty yuan."

"First Uncle earns ninety-nine yuan a month; he should donate fifty yuan."

"Second Uncle earns over seventy; he should also donate thirty!"

"Third Uncle is an elementary school teacher and should set the best example for everyone; he should donate sixty yuan!"

"Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu, stop crying; with the three uncles donating this much, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu won't die."

"Not only will he not die, but your family will become the wealthiest in the entire courtyard!"

Good heavens.

These people had clearly price-tagged exactly how much the three uncles should donate.

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui's face looked worse than if he were weeping.

His monthly wage was about the same as Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's; on what grounds should he donate even more than Yi Zhonghai?

No.

On what grounds should he donate at all?

He and the Jia family were not relatives!

He would not do it!

Just at that moment, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye spoke again: "Sha Zhu, seeing such a major disaster befall your Sister Qin's family, shouldn't you make a proper contribution?"

Sha Zhu agreed without a second thought: "Sister Qin's matter is my matter; I'll donate twenty!"

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, I don't need you telling me how to conduct my affairs."

Yi Zhonghai, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, tried to stop Sha Zhu.

This big fool; by speaking like this now, he was dragging all three of them into the ditch.

But it was already too late.

Sha Zhu immediately took out money and placed it directly into the donation box!

With Sha Zhu leading the way, what could the three uncles possibly say?

Reluctantly, they still donated to Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu.

First Uncle, having the highest wage, donated thirty yuan.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle donated ten yuan and five yuan respectively.

There were also kind-hearted people in the courtyard who, following the standards Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui had previously mentioned, donated three fen, five fen, one jiao...

Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi looked at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, hating him to the core.

Making the three uncles donate this Third Third Third Third Time was like taking their very lives.

In the future, if anything happened to the Jia family again, there would never be such a good opportunity.

Although Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu was also angry, she could not worry about that now.

Having received the money, she tidied up her things and went to the hospital to visit Jia Jia Jia Dongxu.

"Sister Qin, wait a moment; I will go with you."

"I am not at ease with you going alone."

Sha Zhu also wanted to follow along.

Yi Zhonghai hastily called out to him: "Sha Zhu, come here for a moment; I have something to say to you."

This fool of a fellow.

In front of so many people, what was he doing!

Did he not want to work in the Rolling Steel Factory canteen anymore?!

Sha Zhu still listened to Yi Zhonghai and followed him over.

"Zhu Zi, stay away from Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu in the future."

"The Old Lady and I mentioned it before; in a few days, we will introduce a match to you."

"Jia Jia Jia Dongxu is merely injured, not dead; what is the meaning of you rushing over like this?"

Yi Zhonghai delivered a thorough criticism and lesson.

Regardless of Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's condition, Yi Zhonghai still intended to protect Sha Zhu.

Originally, Sha Zhu listened with displeasure.

His heart was preoccupied with Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu, fearing she could not accept such a fact.

But upon hearing Yi Zhonghai say he would introduce a match to him, he became happy again.

It was still First Uncle who treated him well.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had divorced and become a man with no heirs.

But he, He He Yuzhu, would soon have a wife!

If things proceeded smoothly, he would soon have a son as well!

Sha Zhu went home in high spirits.

However, in his heart he was still plotting how to sneak food boxes out of the canteen without anyone knowing.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye paced around his home once.

"The weather outside is getting colder and colder."

"The New Year will arrive soon; this house must be renovated."

"First, I will tinker with the heating."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye went out, and as usual, did not forget to lock the door.

Big shots, I beg for flowers, tickets, and everything~.
