Chapter 3 Who doesn't know moral kidnapping?
Wang Mengde proposed an idea of crowdfunding to buy a house for the Jia family, but Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu all rejected it out loud.
Jia Zhang became very anxious at that time. If the people in the courtyard had not been there, she would have almost started cursing.
She looked at Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui hatefully, then turned to look at Qin Huairu and gave her daughter-in-law a look that said she would settle the score with her later.
Qin Huairu didn't care about her mother-in-law. She was very anxious. As smart as she was, she could see that something was wrong at a glance. Wang Mengde's idea seemed to be helping the Jia family, but in fact it was putting Jia Dongxu on the spot.
If the Jia family only had her, her mother-in-law and a few children, it would be understandable to ask the neighbors to donate money. After all, it is not easy for an orphan and a widow.
But Jia Dongxu is only 24 or 5 years old this year, has his own job and is in good health. Given these conditions, if people in the hospital were to donate money to his family, it would be ridiculous.
Outsiders would definitely say that he is a coward and incompetent. He is so old, but he can't even support his wife and children, and in the end he has to ask his neighbors for help.
Yi Zhonghai also thought of this, and his face looked a little ugly.
He and Old Jia have a close relationship where the old man has sacrificed his wife and son for his disciples. Besides, he is almost 40 years old and still has no child. All his hopes for his retirement are placed on his disciple Jia Dongxu.
If Jia Dongxu's reputation is damaged, it will be bad for him.
As for Yan Bugui's opposition, it was purely because he felt sorry for the money. Before the whole institute meeting, Yi Zhonghai had already consulted him about it. He felt that this matter had nothing to do with him and it would easily offend people, so he never expressed his opinion.
Now that his own interests are involved, he has stood up to oppose it. If this is the beginning of donations, as the third uncle in the hospital, he will definitely take the lead.
Whenever a manure cart passed by my house, I would want to stop it to taste the saltiness of the manure and take money out of his pocket, which was more painful than killing him.
The neighbors around also looked unhappy and were talking among themselves, and it seemed that they all had complaints.
"Meng De, Dongxu has hands and feet, and he can make money on his own, so forget about the donation. This time we're just borrowing the house temporarily, so just help him out."
Yi Zhonghai said with a strong smile.
At this time, Jia Zhang also came to her senses. She was not stupid, but just possessed by a ghost. She now understood that Wang Mengde's idea just now was not to help her family.
She suppressed her anger, her triangular eyes stood up, ready to make a scene if Wang Mengde, the "nerd", did not agree to lend her the house.
"Master, since you think this method doesn't work, I have thought of a new one." After a pause, Wang Mengde continued:
“The old lady in the backyard lives alone in a room. She is old and we don’t know what happens at night. It would be great if there was someone living with her.
It just so happens that the Jia family’s house is not big enough, so why not let Aunt Zhang live with the old lady every night? This way, she can talk to the old lady at night and relieve her loneliness.
Moreover, if anything happens, there will be someone to take care of you in time, and they can also take care of you on daily basis, such as providing a foot basin before going to bed and a urine pot in the morning.
This not only solves the housing problem of the Jia family, but also reflects our good tradition of respecting the elderly. It also adds points to the year-end selection of advanced people, killing two birds with one stone."
After saying this, he looked at the deaf old lady beside him with a smile on his face.
At this time, the deaf old lady's ears were no longer deaf. She was wearing a short cotton jacket on her upper body, and a blue coat with the left collar open on the outside. She was sitting on a bench, holding a walking stick tightly in her hand.
Although she hated Jia Zhang, she would endure it if there was someone who lived with her at night, talked to her, and brought her foot washing water and urinal.
"This is a good idea." Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui said in unison.
He glanced at Yan Bugui who was standing opposite him, and with his big belly sticking out, Liu Haizhong took the lead in expressing his opinion:
"Meng De is right. The sister-in-law of the Jia family will live with the old lady in the future. If we take good care of the old lady, our courtyard will definitely be rated as an advanced courtyard this year." Yi Zhonghai had a complicated expression. He didn't know whether to object or agree. This matter was out of his control.
He had no choice but to look at the deaf old lady and asked, "Old lady, what's your opinion? Are you willing?"
The deaf old lady said with a smile: "I have no objection to helping the people in the hospital. On the contrary, I am quite happy about it."
"I don't agree. Why should I bring her foot washing water and urinal?" Jia Zhang stood up and stomped her feet angrily, ignoring Qin Huairu's pulling from behind.
She was furious. She thought about her whole life, since she married Lao Jia, she had been the head of the family as she had no mother-in-law to worry about. Except for bringing footwashing water to Lao Jia and his son Jia Dongxu, no one else had ever enjoyed this treatment.
Including her eldest grandson Banggeng, Qin Huairu has been taking care of him in recent years.
Now that she is old and has been a mother-in-law for several years, it is time for her to enjoy a peaceful life, but she is still expected to serve others like a young daughter-in-law. This is simply outrageous.
Do you really think that Zhang Hehua is easy to bully?
"Aunt Zhang, you can't just think about yourself. It's such an honor to take care of the old lady. Besides, if you live with the old lady, it will solve the housing problem for your family."
Wang Mengde held back his laughter and spoke righteously.
He is also capable of moral blackmail, but he cannot let the great man Yi Zhonghai take all the credit.
"Don't even think about it. I don't want to serve others." After saying that, Jia Zhang waved her hands, glared at Wang Mengde fiercely, turned around and walked towards her home.
Jia Dongxu, who was beside her, also hurriedly supported Qin Huairu and led Banggeng, and left with them without caring about the matter of renting the house.
If I don't leave now, the task of taking care of the deaf old lady might fall on my family.
Before leaving, he snorted coldly in the direction of Wang Mengde. However, Qin Huairu turned around and said to everyone with an apologetic look before leaving:
"I'm sorry, my mother-in-law is a little anxious. I'm sorry everyone."
"Sister Qin, we don't blame you. Please be careful." When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu leaving, he quickly stood up and shouted with concern.
It was not until he was glared at by an old man that he sat down reluctantly.
His behavior made everyone laugh, especially his archenemy Xu Damao, who laughed even harder.
"Uncle, look, there are people in our hospital who are unwilling to help the elderly. This is not okay. We can't just let this go. You have to do more ideological work."
Seeing Jia Zhang leave angrily, Wang Mengde didn't care, but spoke to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai looked very unhappy. He forced a smile and said to everyone, "Okay, today's meeting of the whole hospital ends here. I will go and persuade my sister-in-law later."
As he said this, he picked up the enamel pot and left.
When everyone saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they slowly left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Wang Mengde was also preparing to get up and go home, but before he stood up, he heard a burst of electronic mechanical sounds in his head.
He was overjoyed, his golden finger had finally arrived!
