On the other side, Sun Yuegui said cautiously: "In addition to mattresses and quilts, should we prepare some food for the third brother's family? I think the third brother has become very thin..."

Grandma snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said with a cold face: "No! He didn't starve to death when he owed hundreds of thousands of gambling debts. How can he starve to death so easily now? Don't let them know that we have food here, otherwise, he will use it to exchange for money for gambling again!"

Sun Yuegui felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She tried to persuade him, "Maybe... maybe the third brother has really changed this time... He has paid off all the loans he owed... Mom, you have to give him a chance..."

When grandma heard her say this and thought about what Xia Guozhang had done before, she was so angry!

She slammed the table and said angrily, "Reform? He has reformed at least eighty times, if not a hundred times. Has he really changed in any of those times? How many chances have I given him in all these years?"

As grandma spoke, she started coughing angrily.

Seeing this, Grandma Liu patted Grandma on the back and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Don't get angry about Guozhang's matter..."

Xia Shige also quickly poured a cup of calming tea for her grandmother and said, "Grandma, have a cup of tea to calm down."

Sun Yuegui rubbed her hands and sat aside awkwardly. After all, she was also the eldest sister-in-law. Now that the third child had reformed, what else could she do except to persuade him?

Seeing that grandma had drunk the tea and her anger had subsided, Xia Shige spoke up, "Grandma, let's at least send some rice to my third uncle's house. Even if my third uncle doesn't want to eat it, my third aunt and cousin Ziqi will have to eat it."

When grandma heard Xia Shige mention Ruan Jiayu and Xia Ziqi, she fell silent.

Grandma knew that although Xia Guozhang was a bastard, his wife and children were indeed victims.

At this time, Sun Yuegui also said: "I see that Ziqi is as thin as a bamboo pole. Is he ten or sixteen years old?... Children of this age are in the growth period. If they don't have enough food and drink and can't grow tall, it will affect their whole life..."

Grandma snorted coldly when she heard this and muttered softly, "It doesn't matter whether he is tall or not, as long as the child doesn't gamble like his father..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the living room looked at each other in surprise.

It seems that grandma was really heartbroken by the third child.

In the end, although grandma was still reluctant, she finally gave in and agreed to bring some food to my third uncle's house.

She sighed, waved her hand and said, "It's up to you! Don't take too much, just give them some rice to pass through, to make sure they don't starve to death! If you give too much, the third brother will gamble with it again!"

…

Xia Shige and Sun Yuegui came to the storage room and began to organize supplies for Xia Guozhang's family.

They dug out two folding beds, sorted out two extra quilts, took out three more quilts, a stove, a basket of coal, ten kilograms of rice, and some pots, pans, and other things.

After Xia Guocheng returned home in the evening, they loaded the things onto a cart together, and when no one was around, they pushed the cart to 1101 on the 11th floor...

On the other hand, the Wu family was busy dealing with Wu Zhuo's affairs.

Ever since Wu Zhuo was reported by someone under his real name for illegally withholding relief supplies, the higher-ups have paid close attention to the matter and immediately launched an investigation.

You wouldn’t know until you investigate. This investigation actually led to an entire criminal chain!
