So, the people in the cave began to act according to Xiao Yi's advice. Food managers were selected, and they managed the food distribution conscientiously and responsibly, ensuring that everyone had enough food. The patrol team also began to perform their duties. They patrolled the area around the cave day and night, successfully repelling several attacks by wild animals, making everyone feel safer and more at ease.

Over time, these measures gradually took effect. The food distribution problem was effectively solved, and conflicts between people gradually eased. The atmosphere in the cave became more harmonious and friendly, and everyone worked hard for the survival and unity of the team.

This meeting and the subsequent actions made Xiao Yi feel deeply gratified. He knew that only by unity can we overcome difficulties, and only by mutual support and understanding can we overcome difficulties together. In the days to come, they will work hand in hand to create a better tomorrow.

Just as life in the cave was returning to normal, a woman named Aunt Zhang suddenly intruded upon them. Her face was haggard, her eyes filled with deep sorrow. She claimed to be a survivor who had escaped from another shelter. Her voice trembled as she recounted her story: her husband and children had perished in the disaster, leaving her alone.

Xiao Yi listened to Aunt Zhang's story and felt sympathy. He knew that everyone deserved help and care in this difficult time. So, he did not hesitate to let Aunt Zhang join their team.

However, Aunt Zhang's arrival didn't go as smoothly as Xiao Yi had expected. Some team members began to feel dissatisfied and question her. They considered Aunt Zhang a burden, believing she had no special skills or resources to contribute to the team. Some even bluntly stated that she only took advantage of others and added to the team's burden.

These comments put a lot of pressure on Aunt Zhang, but she didn't give up. She knew she was an outsider in the team and needed to work harder to prove herself. So she started helping others, whether it was cooking, washing clothes, or caring for the sick, she did her best.

However, her efforts were not recognized. Instead, some people began to dislike her even more. They thought Zhang Dama was just putting on a facade, trying to cover up her incompetence with these trivial actions. Some even began to secretly exclude her, making her feel isolated and helpless in the team.

After Xiao Yi learned about this, he felt mixed emotions. He felt sympathy for Aunt Zhang's experience, but he was also worried about the disharmony in the team. He knew that if this problem was not properly handled, it would pose a serious threat to the team's unity and survival.

Xiao Yi decided to take action. He convened a team meeting to discuss how to accept and help Aunt Zhang. He emphasized the importance of unity and mutual assistance, and called on everyone to view Aunt Zhang with an inclusive and tolerant attitude.

During the meeting, some team members began to reflect on their own behavior and expressed their apologies to Aunt Zhang. They realized that their words and actions may have hurt Aunt Zhang and affected the harmony of the team. They all expressed their willingness to accept Aunt Zhang and help her integrate into the team as quickly as possible.

After this meeting, the team members began to change their attitude towards Aunt Zhang. They actively engaged with her and helped her become familiar with team life and work. Aunt Zhang also gradually demonstrated her value, providing the team with valuable advice based on her experience and wisdom.

Over time, Aunt Zhang gradually integrated into the team and became a member. She also proved her worth through her actions, winning everyone's recognition and respect. The entire team also became more united and stronger because of her joining.

As time went on, the conflict between Aunt Zhang and the other survivors intensified. Some disgruntled survivors began deliberately harassing her, not only depriving her of food and sleep but even physically abusing her. Aunt Zhang endured this silently, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness, unable to understand what she had done wrong.

Xiao Yi saw it all and felt the pain in his heart. He tried to mediate these conflicts gently, but found that these conflicts were deeply rooted and could not be resolved overnight. He knew that if more forceful measures were not taken, Aunt Zhang's situation would become even more difficult.

So Xiao Yi decided to hold a general meeting to let everyone face this problem together. The atmosphere of the meeting was extremely tense, and everyone was waiting for the final decision.

At the meeting, some people emotionally demanded that Aunt Zhang be removed, believing that her presence would only bring negative impact to the team. Others disagreed, believing that Aunt Zhang had contributed a lot to the team and should be given a chance to reform.

During the heated discussion, Xiao Yi remained calm. He knew that expelling Aunt Zhang was not a fundamental solution to the problem. On the contrary, it would only exacerbate the divisions and conflicts within the team. So, he proposed a compromise: let Aunt Zhang stay, but she must abide by some basic rules, including respecting others and working hard.

This plan was approved by most people. Aunt Zhang also expressed her willingness to accept these regulations and promised to work hard to improve her image and make more contributions to the team.

After the meeting, Aunt Zhang began to actively fulfill her promise. She worked harder and stopped being a burden to the team. She also learned to respect others and stopped making random accusations and complaints. Her changes gradually earned her team members' recognition and respect.
