Chapter 231

"Today's meeting is to hope that everyone can lend a helping hand to provide relief to Bang Geng."

Cao Weiguo shakes his head secretly upon hearing this.

This First Uncle really forgets the pain once the wound heals; it's only been a few days and he's calling for donations for the Jia family again.

Cao Weiguo looks at the pitiful Qin Huairu.

This woman!

Cao Weiguo stands quietly in the corner, watching the performance of the First Uncle and Qin Huairu.

The Third Uncle frowns: "First Uncle, in this day and age, no family has it easy."

The Jia family of five is living in difficulty; is his Yan family of seven well-off?

Especially for Yan Jiecheng's job, their family savings have almost been emptied.

Where would they have money to provide relief to outsiders.

The First Uncle looks at the Third Uncle with a straight face: "Matters should always be prioritized by urgency; that child Bang Geng is lying in bed, and that is a human life."

The Third Uncle feels uncomfortable and stops speaking, blaming the First Uncle for meddling in other people's business.

He Yushui asks with concern: "Qin Jie, is Bang Geng's illness very serious?"

Qin Huairu says miserably: "The fever hasn't gone down yet."

He Yushui glares at Shazhu: "Brother, why aren't you helping Qin Jie."

Shazhu says gloomily: "I want to help, but there's no money in my pocket."

Going to the health clinic, he spent five yuan and sixty cents at once.

It emptied his family savings all at once.

Seeing this, He Yushui feels inexplicably happy.

The First Uncle says kindly: "Regarding Bang Geng's matter, everyone should donate a little out of kindness."

"We are all neighbors; who doesn't have times of difficulty."

"When one side is in trouble, all sides support; only by helping each other can we show deep neighborly affection."

After the First Uncle finishes speaking, the courtyard is like a pool of stagnant water.

Seeing this situation, the First Uncle grinds his teeth and takes out 3 yuan.

"I'll donate 3 yuan; how much everyone donates depends on their own heart."

Behind him, the Second Uncle and Third Uncle each donate 1 yuan.

Since the First Uncle set an example, as fellow uncles, it wouldn't be right if they didn't donate money.

But this 1 yuan is enough to make them feel the pain.

The money donated is like spilled water; don't expect the Jia family to pay it back.

With the three uncles taking the lead, the residents unwillingly bleed money once.

You donate ten cents, I donate twenty cents...

Scattered together, it adds up to seven or eight yuan.

"Cao Weiguo, everyone has donated enthusiastically; won't you donate some?"

The First Uncle stands up and looks at Cao Weiguo, saying with a serious face.

Other residents also look at Cao Weiguo, expecting his performance.

Last time Bang Geng broke his leg, Cao Weiguo and Jia Zhangshi had a fight, and in the end, the donation matter fell through.

"I don't want to donate."

Cao Weiguo takes Song Yulan's hand and starts walking home.

First Uncle: "You!"

Shazhu: "Cao Weiguo, you are too stingy!"

Jia Zhangshi curses: "You cold-blooded, black-hearted beast, how do you have no conscience at all."

Cao Weiguo says with a cold face: "Does the Jia family really have no money? Aunt Zhang, your pension is at least eight hundred if not a thousand, do you need me to donate money?"

This sentence makes Jia Zhangshi's face turn blue, and the residents are eager to move.

Cao Weiguo looks at the First Uncle: "In the future, if there is a donation for the Jia family, don't call me. The Jia family, or Aunt Zhang, is not short of money."

The First Uncle says with an ugly face: "Bang Geng's grandmother's money is pension money, which is different from other money. Furthermore, your family is the wealthiest in this courtyard; donating a few yuan is just a drop in the bucket, isn't it."

"Hehe!"

Cao Weiguo can't help but laugh: "First Uncle, if we talk about the whole courtyard, you are the wealthiest."

"Over a hundred yuan a month, working for so many years, you must have saved several thousand, right."

"Compared to your family savings, my bit is just a sesame seed in front of a watermelon."

"Since you are so rich, you can completely help the Jia family yourself; don't drag me and the neighbors into it."

At this moment, everyone's eyes look hotly at the First Uncle.

According to what Cao Weiguo said, a simple calculation really makes it so.

The First Uncle is an eighth-grade fitter, his salary alone is ninety-nine yuan, plus subsidies, allowances...

Earning over a hundred yuan a month is easy.

Over a year, that's over a thousand yuan!

Plus the First Uncle lives frugally, the amount of savings he has is truly beyond imagination.

Jia Zhangshi's eyes turn green looking at the First Uncle!

This isn't an old man; this is simply a mountain of gold.

"You! You are talking nonsense!"

Having his income exposed by Cao Weiguo, the First Uncle panics.

It is said that wealth should not be exposed.

Once his family savings are exposed, won't people be borrowing money from him every day in the future?

Looking at the hot eyes around him, they wish they could swallow him alive.

"If the First Uncle is truly kind-hearted, you can lend Aunt Zhang forty or fifty, which is just half a month's salary for you."

"Anyway, you don't have children; saving so much money is useless."

"The money I earn is to support my family; don't make things difficult for me."

After speaking, Cao Weiguo takes his wife's hand and walks home with a smile.

Leaving the First Uncle furious on the spot and the courtyard full of residents with glowing eyes.

Jia Zhangshi runs excitedly to the First Uncle:

"First Uncle, you are the moral model of the steel rolling mill and the street; save Bang Geng, lend my family fifty yuan, and Huairu will definitely pay you back when she gets her salary."

The First Uncle is placed on a high pedestal, and he cannot open his mouth at all.

If he says he has no money, no one present will believe him.

If he doesn't lend it, the model signboard he carefully crafted will be gone.

If he lends it, that hard-earned money will never return.

At this time, Shazhu provides an assist.

Shazhu says: "First Uncle, you take some money first to treat Bang Geng's illness; just consider it as me borrowing it, and I will definitely pay you back later."

This sentence makes the First Uncle vomit blood in anger!

How big is your heart!

You haven't paid back the hundreds you borrowed before.

You also have the face to open your mouth?

How much ability do you have!

Jia Zhangshi begs bitterly: "First Uncle, show some kindness and save Bang Geng; Bang Geng will definitely repay you in the future."

Qin Huairu says with teary eyes: "Mom, don't make things difficult for the First Uncle; the First Uncle doesn't have it easy."

Xiaodang and Huaihua cry in low voices.

This family of orphans and widows, anyone who sees them will feel pity.

"Cough cough cough... Old Yi, your family is wealthy and doesn't have much spending; just help Bang Geng."

The Third Uncle, harboring a desire for revenge, coughs and says a sentence.

Looking at the hot gazes around him, the First Uncle forces a smile.

"Huairu, come with me; I'll go get the money for you."

"Thank you, First Uncle! Thank you, First Uncle!" ===== CHAPTER 233 =====
