Although Wang Jiefang donated the money, he was not going to let Yi Zhonghai off easily. He asked, "Elder Yi, since the deaf old lady is sick and needs everyone in the courtyard to donate money for her treatment and care, does that mean that if she passes away, we who donated should also have a share of her estate?"
As soon as Wang Jiefang's words left his mouth, the people in the courtyard looked at him differently. "So that's why you were so quick to donate! You had this idea all along? No way! The old lady's estate must include our share!"
"Elder Yi, we are also willing to donate, but when the time comes, we should have a share of the old lady's estate too!"
"Yes! We are willing to donate!"
Hearing these people's words, Sha Zhu shouted angrily, "You all shut up! The old lady is my grandmother; what right do you have to her estate?"
The crowd responded to Sha Zhu's words with defiance: "Just because the deaf old lady has fed us before, her estate should include our share!"
"Exactly! We’ve all donated; the deaf old lady’s estate must include our share!"
From that point on, there was no need for Wang Jiefang to step in again. The people in the courtyard created such a ruckus that Yi Zhonghai felt overwhelmed. He shot a fierce glare at Wang Jiefang, who was leisurely watching the scene unfold.
When Sun Yuwei returned with the money and saw the chaos, she approached Wang Jiefang with confusion. "Brother Wang, are we still donating this money?"
"Of course we are; why wouldn't we?"
Sun Yuwei obediently prepared to donate, but at that moment, Yi Zhonghai hesitated to ask Wang Jiefang for money. "Uh, Wang Jiefang's wife, why don't you take the money back for now? I’ll think about it before we proceed with donations."
Sun Yuwei glanced at Wang Jiefang and saw him nodding. She then returned to his side with the money.
Seeing Sun Yuwei leave him, Yi Zhonghai sighed in relief and shouted at the noisy crowd, "Everyone quiet down! I apologize; I didn’t consider things thoroughly. I forgot that Zhuzi is the old lady’s great-grandson. From now on, everything regarding her will be taken care of by Zhuzi! Alright, it’s getting late; everyone should head home and get some sleep!"
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, someone in the crowd yelled out, "Yi Zhonghai, have you forgotten that Zhuzi is the old lady’s great-grandson? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten you’re her godson too? That’s just too unfilial!"
"Haha! Yi Zhonghai, you’re really quite unfilial!"
The people in the courtyard joined in on the mockery.
Hearing this made Yi Zhonghai run away even faster!
Once back in his room, Yi Zhonghai smashed a teacup on the floor in frustration. "That bastard Wang Jiefang! I’ll make sure to deal with him sooner or later!"
Yi Dama cautiously asked Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, isn’t the old lady about to pass away? She won’t need much money anymore; why bother holding this meeting for donations?"
Yi Zhonghai shot a glare at Yi Dama. "What do you know, woman? Just because the old lady doesn’t have long left to live is exactly why we need to take better care of her. As long as we keep her happy, all her assets will belong to us!"
"To take good care of her means spending more money. We still need to save some for our own retirement. Sha Zhu doesn’t have any money; I thought it was only right for them to donate a bit since she is considered an elder of our courtyard."
Who would have thought that Wang Jiefang would pull this kind of trick on me?
Sigh! If the old lady really passes away later on, there will be trouble ahead!
Yi Zhonghai felt an overwhelming sense of regret. "You said Wang Jiefang didn't want to come to the meeting, so why force him to come? And now look at the situation. He didn't gain anything, and instead, he's brought trouble upon himself!"
