Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

It is impossible to get compensation from the government.

"Then how are we supposed to live our lives?"

Yan Bugui couldn't help but start wailing.

Yan Bugui's family was already living a frugal life, and their meals were basically just plain soup with a little bit of pickled vegetables.

Nowadays, I'm afraid even pickled vegetables can't be supplied, and everyone can only have a bowl of thin porridge.

As they were talking, Liu Haizhong led a few people over.

"Old Yan, Old Li, thank you so much this time."

"If it weren't for you all holding the line, we don't know how much more we would have lost."

Liu Haizhong laughed heartily and relentlessly mocked Yan Bugui.

Liu Haizhong felt regretful that he hadn't been able to take down Yan Bugui and Li Shengli last time.

Now they seize every opportunity to mock them, rubbing salt into their wounds.

"Yes, thank you, Second Uncle and Third Uncle."

Thank you all.

The people following behind also made sarcastic remarks.

Everyone remembers the good deeds that Yan Bugui and Li Shengli did.

An in charge who can't do anything practical for everyone is useless.

Although the two still hold the positions of the stewards, their reputation and prestige are far less than before.

Not many people in the courtyard were willing to listen to them.

"Alright, everyone, say less."

You should all learn a lesson from this.

Don't disregard the advice above.

Blindly following the trend and driving up grain prices will only result in losses for yourselves.

"If we had kept things in order, none of this would have happened."

He Daqing addressed the crowd solemnly.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Yan Bugui, Li Shengli, and the people in the courtyard who frantically rushed to grab grain were all driving up grain prices.

Even if they don't understand and have no malicious intent.

He Daqing's reprimand silenced everyone present.

In this incident, only He Daqing and Ma Weiguo in the hospital suffered no major losses.

Their foresight and courage in persisting in implementing the government's initiatives are truly admirable.

After this incident, He Daqing's prestige in the courtyard increased significantly.

The neighbors trusted this old man even more.

"Uncle, we were wrong."

The people in the courtyard came to see Yan Bugui and Li Shengli make fools of themselves, just hoping to find some comfort.

Each of them suffered significant losses.

Even if there are no serious injuries, people will have to tighten their belts for a while.

I know everyone is terrified of being hungry.

People tend to panic when faced with a food crisis.

Therefore, if possible, we should set aside a portion of our food each month and store it at home for unforeseen circumstances.

That way, you won't be afraid of problems.

Of course, take it easy and don't buy too much at once.

Buying larger quantities periodically ensures both market stability and product availability.

As the caretaker of the compound, He Daqing was very responsible.

Both reminders were made with the neighbors' best interests at heart.

Whether the neighbors listen or not is none of He Daqing's business.

Anyway, I've fulfilled my responsibility by reminding you.

If anything happens in the future, the neighbors can't blame He Daqing.

"Uncle, we just spent a lot of money to stockpile a lot of grain."

Everyone is short of money right now, so where would they find the spare cash to buy more grain?

Furthermore, with the state now in charge of purchasing and distributing grain, grain prices are unlikely to skyrocket again.

"I don't think stockpiling grain is necessary."

Liu Haizhong's words represent the attitude of many people in the hospital.

Having just suffered huge losses from panic buying of food, they wouldn't dare to buy any more.

Currently, most households have sufficient food supplies and there will be no food shortage in the short term.

If you have extra money, you should save it for other things.

"Make your own decisions and take responsibility for any problems that arise."

That's all I needed to say. Let's call it a day.

Good advice is useless to those who deserve to die; compassion is useless to those who choose to end their own lives.

These forgetful guys will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

Grain prices have indeed eased, but once the policy of unified purchase and sale is fully implemented, the amount of grain that each household can buy will be restricted.

At that time, given the daily consumption rate of each household, it will be difficult to store up food.

If they encounter another year with a poor harvest, they will suffer.

However, none of this had much to do with He Daqing.

He's not going to clean up the mess his neighbors made.

Having said what they needed to say, Liu Haizhong and the others dispersed.

Only Yan Bugui and Li Shengli remained, still surrounding He Daqing.

"Da Qing, we've done our part in protecting everyone in the compound this time."

Both of our families are having a hard time right now.

Do you think we should ask the neighbors to lend a hand?

Driven mad by poverty, Yan Bugui no longer cared about saving face.

He wouldn't mind kowtowing to everyone in the courtyard as long as he could gain some benefit.

"What, you want your neighbors to donate money to you?"

He Daqing almost laughed in anger after hearing this.

Yan Bugui was truly blinded by greed.

In a moment of impulsiveness, one can come up with all sorts of terrible ideas.

"Yeah."

Yan Bugui nodded vigorously, his gaze toward He Daqing becoming intense.

When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides.

There are several people in our family, and now we only have a bowl of thin porridge left for each meal.

We're not getting enough to eat.

Just bear with it, sir.

A child's development will be affected if they are hungry.

They are the flowers of our motherland; they should not suffer this hardship.

Daqing, your family is well-off, so perhaps…

"Fuck off!"

He Daqing's expression changed, and he interrupted Yan Bugui.

"After making such a mess, you still expect your neighbors to donate money to you?"

"Go ahead and try it if you're not afraid of getting beaten up."

Yan Bugui was so frightened that his back was covered in sweat. Only then did he realize how foolish his actions had been.

Trying to gain an advantage from He Daqing is simply asking for trouble.

Chapter 100 Starving

"Great Qing, I was just saying that casually, don't take it seriously."

Sensing something was wrong, Yan Bugui quickly changed his tune.

"Although my family is struggling financially, we can get through this if we just hold on."

I won't cause any more trouble for everyone.

I have something to take care of at home, so I'll head back now.

After saying that, Yan Bugui slunk back to the front yard.
