Scholars in the courtyard

"I won't donate!"

The voice spoke firmly and clearly.

For a moment, there was silence all around the compound.

Even the people in the room were choked and speechless by this answer.

In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked ferocious, opened the door and rushed out.

Behind him, Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, then remembered Jia Zhang's warning, raised the door curtain and followed him out.

In the courtyard, Jia Zhang's short and fat body was dressed in cotton clothes, like an upright fat pig, and the flesh on her body trembled when she stepped on the ground.

When he came to the crowd, he stared at Yang Xiaotao with his triangular eyes, put his hands on his hips, and opened his mouth to spray.

"Hey, where did the fat pig come from and how can it fly?"

Before Jia Zhang could speak, Yang Xiaotao looked up at the sky and spoke calmly.

Before Jia Zhang was scolded, she was blocked in her heart. She was so uncomfortable that she almost fainted.

Qin Huairu ran over and hurriedly supported her. Her little nose was red from the cold, and her face looked pitiful. Looking at Yang Xiaotao, she even lowered her head to deal with her grievances.

"You, you, little beast."

"Look at me, I'll take off your skin!"

Jia Zhang regained her composure and looked at Yang Xiaotao again. Her teeth gritted and she stretched out her hand to pounce on Yang Xiaotao.

"Hmph. Come here and try? Let's see if I don't slap your ears."

Yang Xiaotao didn't like her. He had already made it clear that the two families would never interact with each other.

As for going to the street office or the police, let alone whether the old Qian woman dared to go find someone, even if she did, it would still be a civil dispute.

What's more, Jia Zhang is a person with a criminal record. Do you think the police believe a third-generation poor person or a person who has been criticized and educated?

The answer is self-evident.

Mr. Jia and Zhang are stupid and are accustomed to taking rogue behavior as their own responsibility.

Under the arrogance of the First Master and others, he has developed the ability to act arrogantly if he cannot be scolded.

This made people in the compound neither dare to provoke nor want to provoke.

But Yang Xiaotao is different. He doesn't even give him the respect of a master. A thug like Sha Zhu will beat him half to death if he says it. A villain like Xu Damao will report him if he says he will.

When the old man listened, his face was ashen and his eyelids twitched twice.

Every time Yang Xiaotao steps forward, the original plan will change and even develop in the opposite direction.

Thinking of this, the first man quickly looked at Silly Zhu. At this time, he, the troublemaker, needed to step forward.

Silly Zhu clenched his fists, wanting to avenge the last time.

However, I still feel a little worried, what if I can't beat him?

Silly Zhu hesitated, not even seeing the first man's hint.

When Jia Dongxu saw his mother and wife coming, he felt courageous and was about to rush forward.

Just looking at Yang Xiaotao, the confidence that had just risen in his heart was thrown aside again.

He is 1.64 meters tall, and Yang Xiaotao is 1.78 meters tall. They are both tall. In a fight, he will definitely suffer.

As for the help from those around him, he couldn't say.

Who doesn’t have three friends?

Yang Xiaotao saw the Jia family and said to everyone.

"Since it is a donation, we have the right to know where the money is going."

"Privately, you help whomever you like, even if you give us 510, we won't say anything about it. But if you use our donations to be good people and raise trash, then I will never be taken advantage of!"

After Yang Xiaotao said it, people in the surrounding courtyard started talking. Many people thought Yang Xiaotao said it well. The eyes looking at the three uncles also became twinkling.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart.

What happened to this courtyard? How did it become like this?

Can we go back to the past, to that harmonious scene?

well.

Yang Xiaotao stirred up the muddy waters of the courtyard, causing the old ship that had been running smoothly for many years to feel the bumps of the wind and waves.

Mrs. Jia Zhang stopped where she was, even more angry, cursing the little bastard in her heart.

If the ground hadn't been too cold, he would have definitely learned what it means to be a splurge.

Yang Xiaotao stood aside and sneered, "I still say the same thing, if the Jia family can benefit from it, I won't donate."

"What's the benefit? Speak more clearly."

Jia Zhang gave up as soon as she heard this. Although she had done this kind of thing a lot over the years, no one dared to say it directly.

"Humph, I speak very cleanly, but some people have unclean thoughts. They think about taking advantage all day long, are too lazy to work, and even get kicked out of the street."

"Such people have the nerve to talk here. They are simply polluting the air."

Yang Xiaotao doesn't tolerate her. When it comes to quarreling, is a cultural person from later generations who has been influenced by the Internet worse than an ignorant shrew?

If it's really bad, it's probably because of my thick skin.

"You? Humph."

Jia Zhang didn't want to talk.

The second uncle on the side saw that everyone was focusing on the issues raised by Yang Xiaotao and did not want to stay here any longer. He was a little afraid of the cold.

"Since it was you who proposed it, then you should propose a plan."

Liu Haizhong's words made everyone look over, but Yang Xiaotao was not afraid.

When you ask a question, you already have a solution in mind.

In fact, it is still an experience from my previous life. When I was in school, there were bursaries, which were targeted at students from poor families.

It's perfect to bring it over now.

"Now that the second uncle has spoken, I really have an immature suggestion."

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao stood in the center of the courtyard and explained the scholarship system.

Of course, it is not a complete account. It also includes the situation of this era and omits many troublesome things. After all, this is just a help.

Yang Xiaotao spoke very quickly, but the logic was very clear, and everyone stopped in their hearts, only two words.

One is to find out the people in the compound who need help and those who are willing to help based on their own situation.

This is proposed by the parties themselves and does not need to be recognized by others.

The advantage of this is to take care of face.

There were so many bursaries in previous lives, including many from poor families, but why do some people always fail to apply?

This is a matter of face.

In the eyes of these people, applying will make you inferior and look down upon.

This is face.

There are also people like this in this courtyard.

If you directly stipulate that a certain family is a poor household, maybe this family will not be happy.

Similarly, those families who stand up and are willing to help will naturally receive praise from others and earn face.

When this article came out, everyone in the courtyard felt that what Yang Xiaotao said was somewhat reliable.

The second item is review and assessment.

Whether they are families in need of help or willing to help, they must be reviewed and evaluated.

It’s not that you are poor just because you say you are poor, or that you are difficult if you say your family is in difficulty. This needs to be recognized by everyone.

Similarly, if you choose to be a good person even though your family's strength does not allow it, you will not only harm yourself, but also harm those who really need you.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking briefly, he returned to where he was and handed the matter over to the three uncles.

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone was making their own plans.

The three uncles were also communicating, but Liu Haizhong was talking more to Yan Fugui. The first uncle's thoughts were no longer here, and he was preoccupied with how to deal with Yang Xiaotao. If this continues, his prestige in the compound will be lost. Getting lower and lower, how can you set an example for Shazhu?

At this time, the second uncle and the third uncle reached an agreement, especially Yan Fugui, who was thinking that he would definitely get help for his family's situation, and he was even more energetic.

"Everyone, after discussion among the three of us, Yang Xiaotao's method is very suitable for the situation of our hospital."

Yan Fugui was in a hurry to speak, so he ignored the first uncle's thoughts and named the three uncles directly.

Liu Haizhong didn't have any objections. He was thinking about whether he should help or not.

If you help, you will gain fame, but it is definitely not a matter of five yuan. Even if you have to help in the future, your own family's surplus food is not much.

If you don't help, you can live the same life as before, but you will lose an opportunity to show your face.

Confused.

Yan Fugui followed Yang Xiaotao's advice and started to implement it.

Next to her, after Qin Huairu explained it, Jia Zhang first dug Yang Xiaotao with her triangular eyes, and then raised her hand impatiently.

"Me, our Jia family signed up."

"The three members of my family live on Dongxu alone. The three adults only have one ration. How can we live like this?"

"My family really needs your help."

Jia Zhang said a lot, and her meaning was very clear, that is, she wanted others to help.

The people in the yard didn't care when they saw it. Everyone knew what was going on in the Jia family. Their life was less than what they had before, but more than what they had below.

Moreover, there is another uncle who is not.

Otherwise, how could Jia Zhang be so fat?

"Okay, the Jia family will sign up."

Yan Fugui said, writing it down on the side.

Everyone fell silent. Sometimes face is really important, even more important than having a full stomach and enduring the cold.

In the past, this could be called "not eating the food that comes to you", "not bowing down for five buckets of rice", and other food replacements that rise to the spiritual level.

But in this courtyard, there are not many people who understand this. They just want to save face.

But in this courtyard, those who really understand this are ready to take action.

Seeing that no one was moving, Yan Fugui couldn't sit still. He coughed twice and smiled at Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.

"Everyone, my family's situation is really difficult, so I'll sign up too!"

After the words fell, Silly Zhu below was unhappy.

"Third uncle, as the elder in the courtyard, do you have the nerve to say this?"

After Silly Zhu finished speaking, anger appeared on Yan Fugui's face. This Silly Zhu targeted him twice today. Damn it.

"Zhuzi, the third uncle is really in trouble, so don't talk too much."

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth to help Yan Fugui and looked at everyone.

"Don't be embarrassed, everyone. This method is just proposed. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we will talk about it later."

Yi Zhonghai actually agreed with this method in his heart, especially in their yard. Everyone knew every situation of every family, and there were several families who were fully capable of helping others.

But, on the one hand, he is not willing to help others.

The first uncle spoke, and the third uncle Yan Fugui took the lead. Two more people stood up in the yard, needing help with registration.

Then Uncle Chen thought of something and stood up under Yang Xiaotao's surprised gaze.

After seeing this, everyone knew clearly that the three families were indeed in a difficult situation.

One is a sallow-looking woman from the Wang family. Her husband died of illness at home, leaving her a father-in-law and two children to raise.

One is the Zhou family, whose situation is similar to that of Yan Fugui's family. They have many children and low wages, so they cannot afford to support them.

In the end, the two old people in Uncle Chen's house had no income and lived only on the receipts handed over from time to time by their son in Shanghai.

Of course, others don't know, but Yang Xiaotao knows that the sons of Uncle Chen's family are capable, so it's not difficult for Uncle Chen's family.

It's just that I don't like to be pushy and know how to be subtle, so it's not obvious in the yard.

Standing up at this time, I reminded myself again that the meaning is self-evident.

After a while, no one came out of the yard, which meant that the remaining people did not need this help.

In this way, a total of five households in the entire courtyard requested help.

They are the Jia family, the Yan family, the Wang family, the Chen family and the Zhou family.
