Chapter 276

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui stood up and looked at Yi Zhonghai, really intending to escort him to the subdistrict office.

They were both terrified.

Once the label of illegal fundraising was slapped on, even if they didn't go to prison, they wouldn't be able to keep their jobs.

"Cough, cough, cough, everyone listen to me for a moment."

"Zhonghai calling for everyone to donate was well-intentioned, to help the orphans and widow who just lost their pillar. I guarantee he has no selfish motives at all."

"It was just a bit of negligence during the operation, not filing it; there was absolutely no intention of illegal fundraising."

"He didn't touch a single cent of the donated money; it was all for the Jia family. Besides, he donated ten yuan himself; how could this be illegal fundraising?"

The deaf old lady, of course, couldn't let anything happen to Yi Zhonghai.

She was just a lonely old lady, and only by being tied to Yi Zhonghai could she live a good life.

If something happened to Yi Zhonghai, who else in the courtyard would take care of her?

"The old lady is right, I have no selfish motives."

"However, Ping'an said it doesn't meet the rules and regulations, so today's donation ends here; we won't donate anymore."

Yi Zhonghai stated his position.

He was truly a bit scared out of his wits.

If the deaf old lady hadn't stood up to speak, he would definitely have been escorted to the subdistrict office by the Second and Third Elders.

No matter how it was handled, one thing was certain: he, this acting First Elder, would definitely be stripped of his position and would never have another chance.

"No!"

"Donating to our orphans and widow, how can you stop?"

"I don't agree!"

Jia Zhang protested.

She grabbed the money on the table, stuffed it into her clothes, and clutched it tightly.

"Second Elder, just consider it a good deed; don't ask for the money back."

Yi Zhonghai persuaded.

No more donations.

What had already been donated couldn't be taken back anyway.

"Yi Zhonghai, the money Jia Zhang took is money suspected of being illegal fundraising."

"If it's returned, since we're all in the same courtyard, we can pretend nothing happened, but if it's not returned, it remains illegal fundraising."

"You are the one who hosted the illegal fundraising, and the Second Elder is a participant in the illegal fundraising."

Wan Ping'an smiled.

He didn't know if this situation counted as bad.

The key was that everyone else didn't know either.

Keep bluffing!

Everyone was confused anyway!

"First Elder, you heard it too; if the money isn't taken back, it's illegal fundraising."

"You are the host, you must get the money back for me."

"Otherwise, I'll go report it."

Liu Haizhong wouldn't stand for it.

The loss of money was a small matter, but illegal fundraising was a big matter.

"I'll give you ten yuan; consider the money as me giving it to the Jia family privately, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

In his heart, he hated Wan Ping'an to death.

He had originally wanted to donate to the Jia family to gain their favor, which would be beneficial for his old-age plan, and on the other hand, to build his reputation.

He never expected that it would end before it even began.

And he almost got himself thrown into prison!

Meeting adjourned!

Yi Zhonghai announced angrily.

"First Elder, walk slowly, I still have something to say."

"Don't forget, you still owe me two thousand yuan. You donated money so readily, it seems you have money again; remember to pay me back as soon as possible!"

Wan Ping'an reminded him with a smile.

He was Yi Zhonghai's biggest creditor.

"I know!"

Yi Zhonghai squeezed the words out through his teeth.

Yi Zhonghai left.

Everyone dispersed.

Jia Zhang glared fiercely at Wan Ping'an.

If Wan Ping'an hadn't disrupted the meeting, the donation meeting would have proceeded smoothly, and she definitely would have received a large sum of donations, not just the money from the three elders.

Yi Zhonghai's house.

He had just returned home when he saw a chair placed at the door; he kicked the chair away, and it hit the table, knocking the table over.

The teacup and teapot all fell to the ground.

The First Elder's wife shivered in fear.

She had just been cleaning, couldn't reach the high places, and used the chair as a step, forgetting to put it back; could this have caused Yi Zhonghai to throw such a tantrum?

"Master of the house, you..."

She hadn't gone to the meeting and didn't know what had happened there.

For a courtyard-wide meeting, unless specifically requested.

Otherwise.

It didn't require all members to attend; one representative per family was enough.

She had been cleaning at home and hadn't attended, so she didn't know Yi Zhonghai had been angered.

"Sigh, it has nothing to do with you."

"It's all Wan Ping'an; he's simply my nemesis."

"If I get the chance, I'll kill him!"

Cold light flickered in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

"What did Wan Ping'an do again?"

The First Elder's wife was very surprised.

"I organized a donation meeting, and he said I was engaging in illegal fundraising, and he almost let the Second and Third Elders send me in; he's too damn hateful!"

Yi Zhonghai became more annoyed the more he talked.

"Don't be angry, be careful not to ruin your health."

The First Elder's wife helped the table up.

She looked at the teapot and teacup; they were all shattered.

She sighed and cleaned up the fragments.

"How can I not be angry?"

"Wan Ping'an..."

Yi Zhonghai swayed twice; if the First Elder's wife hadn't seen that something was wrong and rushed over to support him, he would definitely have fallen heavily to the ground.

Yi Zhonghai was almost angered to the point of fainting!

Jia family.
