In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Liu Ya shook her head honestly, "Auntie, I can't read, but I can learn."

"Alright, I'll take you to the camp academy later."

Pan Lian then led her to study the rules and regulations of Anminshu, word by word, especially the issue of resettlement of displaced people, in order to prepare as much as possible in advance.

Then several women came over and helped to resettle the people who originally lived in the cave.

This cave was originally intended to house women, children, or the elderly; with ice placed inside, it was much more comfortable than living in a tent. Because it was close to the camp entrance, it was assigned to the Anmin family, and the original inhabitants had to move to the caves deeper inside the camp.

Not long after they went inside, they heard arguing coming from inside.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Pan Lian got up and led Liu Ya inside.

When the natural disaster first struck, people from various villages gathered together, and there were bound to be conflicts. But as they gradually came to terms with each other, and since everyone was focused on survival, they no longer had the energy to argue.

Although it's unbearably hot now, we have food, drink, and ice, and life is becoming more and more stable, so why are we arguing instead?

The two hurried into the cave, only to hear the woman who had come to help with the work angrily say, "What, you think you can die from working? You stayed here to survive, not to be a pampered young lady here!"

"How can you say that, Auntie? We didn't say we wouldn't do it. We're just weak and work a little slower. Are you going to curse us to die?"

Liu Ya's hands trembled slightly; that voice belonged to Zhu Yingxue!

When she arrived at the cave last night, Zhu Yingxue and the other three were already asleep. She was placed in the cave next to them and did not meet them. She got up early again today. Soon, Hong'an County will be the first time she has met them since she escaped!

She followed behind Aunt Pan, hiding her face in the shadows.

Pan Lian then stood in front of the women, glancing sideways at Zhu Yingxue, "Little girl, I told you yesterday, if you want to stay, you have to work hard; if you don't want to work, get out of here!"

"It's really not that I don't want to do it, I... I'm helping out, sob sob sob."

Zhu Yingxue's tears immediately fell; she felt very wronged.

Da Niu said angrily, "Aunt Pan, we finally found this place. We haven't been able to eat or sleep well along the way, and we're all injured. We didn't get a good night's rest in the cave, and this morning they not only won't let us rest for a while, but they also won't give us any food and make us work. Even maids aren't treated like this, are they?"

"Yes, I was so hungry that my heart was pounding and my hands were shaking. I accidentally spilled that old woman's medicine. Is it really necessary to curse us to die?"

Ersha also covered his face and started crying.

Pan Lian had already smelled the medicine, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry. Pointing her finger at her nose, she scolded, "You just spilled it? Do you know how precious medicine is these days? Fu Jun only found so many herbs, and you think you can just spill them like that? Get out, get out of our camp right now, and go die wherever you want!"

As she spoke, she gestured to the women to throw Zhu Yingxue and the others out.

Seeing that things were about to get serious, Zhu Yingxue quickly spoke up, "Auntie, Ersha really didn't mean it. We really just didn't have the energy to do the work well. We know we were wrong. We can endure it. It's okay to be hungry for a while. We can do it well. Please don't send us away. Fujun is kind-hearted. She certainly wouldn't have the heart to drive us to our deaths, would she?"

Pan Lian had never encountered anything like this before, with the woman both apologizing and flattering Jiang Mianmian. She hesitated for a moment. If she really threw the woman out and she died, it wouldn't be a problem if she was blamed, but it would be bad if it brought a bad reputation to Fu Jun.

Just as I was hesitating, Liu Ya behind me suddenly spoke.

“Auntie, Sister Yingxue is the kindest and most hardworking. She must be very hungry, otherwise she wouldn’t be like this. After she has breakfast, she will definitely work faster and better. There are only about a hundred people living in this cave. She and her three sisters are enough. They can help everyone tidy up and resettle in less than a day. Why don’t you give them another chance? If they can’t finish before tonight, it’s not too late to send them out.”

So what if she flatters him? Anyone can do that! She had already decided last night that she would definitely make Zhu Yingxue taste what it's like to be forced into something!

When they saw Liu Ya slowly walking out from behind Aunt Pan, Zhu Yingxue and the other three were stunned.

Zhu Yingxue stopped crying and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart. If this brat hadn't run away, why would they have gone to so much trouble to break ties with those people?

Her nose twitched slightly, and it took her a while to put on a surprised look, "Liu Ya! You're still alive, that's wonderful!"

"Thanks to my sister, I'm still alive and well."

Liu Ya hid very well at the time; they had no idea that they had witnessed the cannibalistic scene.

She took a deep breath and reminded her, "Sister, you'd better hurry up and get to work, otherwise you might not be able to finish cleaning up before tonight."

Zhu Yingxue's expression was a little stiff. She looked up at Aunt Pan, wanting to ask why Liu Ya could do whatever she wanted.

However, before she could ask, Pan Lian spoke up, "Since Liu Ya has pleaded for you, then the four of you should hurry up and go. If you do well, you'll get an extra meal tonight."

The implication is that if the task isn't completed well, then there's no dinner!

Upon hearing this, the women who came to help were delighted and led the others directly to the new residence. "By the way, one of you should also come and familiarize yourself with the way so we can carry the things over to everyone later."

"Yes, with such ability, you certainly won't complain about being tired, right?"

Half the people were gone from the cave. Zhu Yingxue had no other choice but to signal Sandi to hurry up and follow, and then asked Pan Lian, "Auntie, do we have to carry all this stuff over? Do you have any carts or anything?"

"Yes, they're all outside the cave."

Pan Lian thought that she should make them carry the supplies back and forth to vent her anger, but she was also afraid of delaying everyone's use, so in the end she couldn't bear to say that she didn't have any.

The two did not linger any longer and left the cave to continue studying the few pages of paper.

Zhu Yingxue was so angry she gritted her teeth. "How did that brat manage to find this place alive?"

"Could she have known what we were going to do and ran away beforehand? Yingxue, what do we do now?"

The other two were somewhat worried, "Are we really going to do the work?"

"What else can we do? Do we have any other options?"

Zhu Yingxue didn't say anything more and started working in silence.

I thought dealing with Jiang Mianmian would be enough, but now there's Liu Ya. And look how much this girl has changed; maybe she really saw something! Otherwise, why would she deliberately go against me?

It seems we need to think of a way to get rid of Liu Ya first!
