Chapter 870: Old Dog Yi's Filial Piety
Sihe Academy
Yi Zhonghai forced all the residents of the courtyard to donate money for the Deaf Old Lady's medical treatment.
Saying the Deaf Old Lady was the oldest elder in the courtyard.
Saying the Deaf Old Lady was highly virtuous and respected...
Saying that people in the courtyard should be filial to the elderly to set an example for their children...
Saying that unity and mutual assistance would make the courtyard an advanced unit again...
Using high-sounding rhetoric and moral kidnapping made the residents feel very unhappy.
"This Yi Zhonghai is really not a good thing!"
"Every time something happens, he drags people to donate money! Does he think my family's money comes from the wind!"
"What is he pretending for! No matter how well he pretends, he's still a shameless old man!"
"Is the Deaf Old Lady's illness really that serious?"
"It shouldn't be light, but I don't think donating money will cure her, after all, she's so old!"
"Let's donate a little, since we all live in the same courtyard!"
"Donating a little money to the Deaf Old Lady is fine, I just can't stand Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical, fake-righteous attitude!"
In this day and age, whose family isn't living a tight life, not even willing to buy meat during festivals.
Now, they still have to squeeze money out of their teeth to donate to an outsider.
Yi Zhonghai raised his hand sanctimoniously: "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me for a few words!"
"Our courtyard has always valued filial piety!"
"Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue!"
"The Deaf Old Lady is an elder of our courtyard!"
"Now she is seriously ill, suffering, and it's pitiful that she has no children!"
"The medical expenses are high, and I alone find it hard to cope!"
"So I have to shamelessly organize everyone to donate."
"Let's work together to help the Deaf Old Lady get treatment and show some filial piety for the elderly!"
"As the Eldest Uncle of the courtyard! I, Yi Zhonghai, am duty-bound!"
"I'll set an example first! I'll donate ten yuan!"
After speaking, Yi Zhonghai took a ten-yuan note out of his pocket.
This made Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui's faces turn ugly.
They were also managing uncles, just like Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai took out ten yuan; how shameful would it be if they donated less!
Liu Haizhong raised his hand with a dark face: "As the Second Uncle of our courtyard! I can't fall behind either! I'll donate ten yuan!"
Although he only said it, since he said it, he had to pay.
If he didn't pay, he wouldn't be able to stay in the courtyard!
Shazhu applauded with glowing eyes: "Second Uncle, well done!"
The Liu brothers' eyes turned red, and the Second Aunt's heart bled with pain.
This was ten yuan!
How many eggs could it buy! How much white flour! How much meat!
And just like that, it was thrown into the water without even a splash.
Yi Zhonghai is damned!
The two uncles, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, had set an example one after another.
The Third Uncle, Yan Fugui, was forced onto the shelf and said with a bleeding heart: "I'm not lacking in filial piety to the elderly, I, Yan Fugui, will also donate ten yuan!"
Shazhu shouted in disbelief: "Yan Laoxi has grown some ambition!"
The Third Uncle glared angrily: "Shazhu, if you don't know how to speak, shut your mouth! No one will take you for a mute!"
Xu Damao stared at Shazhu and smiled wickedly: "Shazhu! Everyone in our courtyard knows you are the Deaf Old Lady's god-grandson! Now that the Deaf Old Lady is sick, you, this obedient grandson, should donate eighty or a hundred! Otherwise, everyone won't agree!"
Shazhu glared at Xu Damao, gnashing his teeth, wishing he could bite this bad seed into pieces!
He also wanted to donate eighty or a hundred to show filial piety to the Deaf Old Lady.
But he had no money!
Shazhu took five yuan out of his pocket with difficulty: "I'm tight on cash lately and can't take out too much, but from now on, I, Shazhu, will cover the Deaf Old Lady's three meals a day! I will serve the old lady like a real grandson!"
Xu Damao shouted with a face full of mockery: "Forget it! What the old lady needs now is money for medical treatment! Is she lacking the three meals a day you feed to pigs! Why are you shooting off empty cannons and making big promises!"
Cao Weiguo walked out with a blank expression: "Shazhu! Yi Zhonghai! You two stop playing tricks here! Although the Deaf Old Lady has no children, who in this area doesn't know that you, Yi Zhonghai, are the Deaf Old Lady's godson, and Shazhu is the Deaf Old Lady's god-grandson."
"Usually, the Deaf Old Lady treats you with all her heart, treating you like her own son and grandson."
"Now that the Deaf Old Lady is sick, you two, son and grandson, are acting slippery!"
"Dragging the whole courtyard to pay money to reduce your burden, you are really smart!"
"When other elderly people in the courtyard were sick before, I didn't see you, Yi Zhonghai, organizing a donation!"
"Why is it different when it comes to your godmother! How come only your godmother is a mother?" ===== CHAPTER 872 =====
