"But the Jia Family is having a hard time getting by," Yi Zhonghai still tried to fight for the Jia Family.
"There are several families in the courtyard who have it tougher than the Jia Family, yet I haven't seen you donate to them?"
"Exactly, exactly." Xu Damao had always been wary of Yi Zhonghai as the Steward, so he had been avoiding him.
Now that he knew this Steward was such a figure, what was there still to fear? If Sha Zhu hit him again and the old guy was biased towards him, he'd just go straight to the street office.
"First Elder is raising funds for the Jia Family only because Jia Dongxu is his apprentice. Otherwise, look at Grandma Liu's family, with a grandson, usually living by making paper boxes for the street office. Has there been a fundraiser for her?"
Yi Zhonghai's mouth moved, trying to explain, but realizing any explanation would be feeble and powerless, he had to shut up.
