But by the third year, the supplies at home were gone and all the supplies outside had been found.
The only thing most survivors can rely on is the relief food distributed by the government.
I didn’t expect that it would be discontinued now!
Isn't this just watching people die?
This is what Aunt Zhang downstairs said!
After she failed to exchange eggs for them when she went to see Grandma Pang last time, she always stood at the door with a sarcastic look on her face as people from Zhou and Qi's families went upstairs, occasionally making sarcastic remarks.
If she wasn't afraid that the two families would defeat the Dong family, they would be really capable. Now there are only three people in her family, her, her daughter-in-law and her grandson, and they don't have the ability to fight against them.
Then she would definitely come to the door and scold him severely.
Now I can only hide behind the crickets.
No one from Zhou Qi's family, including Grandma Pang, took her seriously and ignored her, just watching her like a goose flapping its wings!
The Zhou and Qi families have sufficient supplies, and this is something the entire community knows.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu are both very skilled, and this is known to the entire community.
Therefore, people respect and fear them and will not provoke them easily.
As soon as Aunt Zhang came to borrow eggs, someone came to visit both families and told them everything Aunt Zhang had done at the base.
It turns out that things were actually okay when her husband and son were around.
Aunt Zhang is a bit aggressive, but she doesn't bother others.
Later, the husband and son died one after another, leaving only her and her wife with the child. They were bullied by others and were short of supplies. After their grandson fell ill, they exchanged all the last supplies in the house for medicine.
After the grandson recovered from his illness, the family relied on relief food to survive.
So one night, when everyone was fast asleep at the base, Aunt Zhang quietly threw her granddaughter into the flood below the community.
Children have weak resistance, and even though they were quickly discovered by the security team, the granddaughter had already become seriously ill and died.
Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law almost cried to death.
Aunt Zhang pretended to be crazy and stupid, saying that she didn't know what was going on.
This was spread by someone who lived in the same house as the Zhang family, and they swore that Aunt Zhang's eyes were not right when she looked at her granddaughter during those days. She was always vicious and did not allow her granddaughter to eat.
Her daughter-in-law was a weak person. Apart from secretly feeding her daughter some compressed biscuits, she actually condoned her mother-in-law's abuse of her daughter.
After her granddaughter died of illness, Aunt Zhang told everyone that her granddaughter had gone out for fun and got lost. I don’t know if she said that on purpose to alleviate her guilt!
After that, Aunt Zhang thought of ways to make money.
Her daughter-in-law is just over 30 years old and is quite pretty. Although she is thin after the apocalypse, she is still presentable!
She started to matchmake at the resettlement sites, looking for bachelors or middle-aged men who looked like they had wealthy families!
How much supplies does the other party have to give to his daughter-in-law to sleep with him for one night!
Her daughter-in-law resisted several times, but was severely beaten by her and finally gave in.
Thanks to the daughter-in-law's sacrifice, the family actually lives a good life.
Later, during the high temperature period, they also moved to the underground base.
The discipline in the underground base is quite strict, especially the act of selling daughters and daughters-in-law to make money is strictly prohibited.
The daughter-in-law resisted again, and Aunt Zhang beat and scolded her, which soon attracted the attention of the security team.
They took Aunt Zhang to the solitary confinement cell and gave her a few days of lessons before releasing her.
Aunt Zhang suffered a little, so she didn't dare to have any bad thoughts.
However, without the daughter-in-law's sacrifice, life for the family of three would be very difficult.
Aunt Zhang developed a shameless character and often went to the homes of acquaintances to borrow supplies. If they refused to give her supplies, she would cry and make a fuss, and would not leave until they spent some money.
The neighbors who lived around her at the time, as well as her old neighbors who went to the same resettlement site with her, were harassed by her many times and tortured.
But it's not easy to go to the security team to complain about such trivial matters every day.
I could only blame myself for my loss. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang didn't take much away, just half a compressed biscuit, half a bowl of water, etc.
After hearing what Zhong Tiyun said, Zhou Shuwan frowned and asked, "How do you know all this?"
Zhong Tiyun said, "There were several families who moved to the same resettlement site with them, so they know everything. So, we must stay away from the Zhang family! They are so vicious! We dare not provoke someone who would even throw his own granddaughter into poisonous water and kill her!"
Zhou Jianghai frowned. When the downstairs neighbor came to chat, he was embarrassed to listen, so he went upstairs to feed the chickens and didn't hear anything at all.
"Then why didn't you call the police?"
Killing your own granddaughter should at least be sentenced to hard labor!
"Why call the police? This is all people's guesses, there is no evidence at all. And when she forced her daughter-in-law to accompany someone, her daughter-in-law didn't come out to complain, so how can others do it?" Zhong Tiyun said.
Zhou Shuwan didn't say anything.
She recalled her past life in her mind, when she returned to the community during the acid rain period, but several families living downstairs did not return.
So she didn't know about the Zhang family's affairs. "Wanwan, Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Zhong Tiyun called out twice before the latter came back to her senses.
Zhou Shuwan looked thoughtful: "Mom, what does Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law look like?"
Zhong Tiyun said, "She is indeed pretty, with an oval face, a pointed chin, and long eyelashes. Oh, and there's a beauty mark under the corner of her mouth. She has a very distinctive look."
Zhou Shuwan dug out a rather charming figure from the depths of her memory. It seemed that she was accompanied by a son at that time.
Could it be her?
When she heard about Aunt Zhang, she felt it sounded strangely familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere in her previous life.
"What's her name?"
Zhong Tiyun thought for a moment and said, "I forgot her last name, but I usually hear the Zhang family call her Awen."
Awen, Xue Wuwen!
It’s really her!
Zhou Shuwan was filled with emotion for a moment.
It turned out that she was also an old neighbor, but unfortunately, they didn't know each other when they met, and no one knew each other's identity.
Zhou Shuwan sighed softly, his expression mixed with sadness and joy.
Within a few days, the issue of stopping the distribution of relief food became a bigger issue.
Countless survivors gathered outside the service hall to demonstrate, trying to force the government to distribute relief food again.
None of the Zhou family members went downstairs. They just watched the gathering figures in the distance from above. Zhong Tiyun murmured, "The service hall has already provided three years of relief food. They've really done their utmost. Does the government give food for free? It's normal that there's no food reserve now!"
"It's not their fault. Now that it's not raining, we can't grow crops and have nothing to eat or drink. If the government doesn't send us relief food, are we just going to starve to death?" Zhou Jianghai felt a little sympathetic to the people demonstrating on the streets.
"Wanwan, when do you think the acid rain will come?"
