Because there were disaster victims all around, the young and strong were assigned to work, while the old, weak, women and children were either resting or going out to beg.

Although no one lived a wealthy life, there were some kind-hearted people who would give half a steamed bun or some wilted vegetable leaves to beggars.

They also knew that these beggars lived in the warehouse, had pots and stoves and could cook their own food, so they gave them whatever they wanted.

However, there is little surplus food, and you may not be able to get much in a day.

Some who are weak, or too old or too young, just stroll around.

Because there were so many people around and Jiang Mengxue's clothes were full of patches, no one noticed her.

Several empty warehouses connected together were filled with pumpkins and some cornmeal.

I wrote a note with my left hand while wearing gloves and put it in.

Then they bribed a child with a vegetable steamed bun and asked him to go to the street to find people and say that he saw something incredible in an empty warehouse and asked them to bring more people.

Then he hid in the crowd and watched what happened next.

There are many people during the day, and many people will see the note, so there is no need to worry about the food in these warehouses being diverted for other purposes.

The children had lived nearby for some time and were familiar with their superiors, so they naturally knew where to find them.

Worried that Jiang Mengxue would ask for the steamed bread back if things didn't go well, he quickly stuffed the steamed bread into his clothes and turned around to look for someone.

After about half an hour, the little boy came back with a few people.

A middle-aged female comrade was accompanied by a few people dressed like officials.

They only heard the child say that something big had happened here, but when they asked about the details, the child couldn't tell them. Worried that something really had happened, they had to rush over in a hurry.

This was also what Jiang Mengxue did on purpose. A child who can speak clearly but has average expressive ability will be more reliable in doing things.

He is too young to speak clearly, and it will be difficult to bribe him once he grows up. It would be funny if he were killed in return.

Dai Qingxia was furious. She was extremely busy recently, and was called over by the child, but there was nothing to do. It was a waste of time.

Then I thought about how the leaders above were worried about food for these people who had fled famine, and it must have been difficult for the people under them as well.

Especially apart from a corrupt official who embezzled food from disaster victims.

As a result, all of their management colleagues were implicated.

Thinking about the people related to Director Chen, some were dismissed from their posts, some were imprisoned, and some of their accomplices were shot directly.

I believe that once Director Chen explains the sales routes and the embezzled money, he will be shot immediately.

The situation has become too serious. More than half of the people in the city are not able to eat enough. If the higher authorities don't come in to solve the problem, the government buildings will be demolished by the people.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Dai Qingxia prepared to take people away. Although she was angry, she would not lose her temper at a child in public.

When the child saw that the man was about to leave, he was afraid that he would have to return the steamed bun if he failed to complete the task.

He reached out and grabbed Dai Qingxia's clothes to prevent her from leaving.

A male comrade following behind stepped forward and pulled the man apart.

"What are you doing, kid? Why are you looking for us for no reason?

We are so busy with your affairs, and you are still here to make trouble.

Take the child away immediately. If you dare to cause trouble again, your whole family will not be allowed to live here anymore."

The man looked around the crowd to see whose child it was.

But after a while, no adult came out to claim the child, and he couldn't help but feel even more furious.

"What? You don't want your own child anymore?

You're a bunch of parasites living off the state, and you're too scared to admit your child got into trouble? I think you've been having too good a time lately.

But your good days are coming to an end. If the government doesn't allocate food to you, you'll all be forced to beg for food."

The man ignored everyone's ugly expressions and said whatever he wanted.

But for those who have left their hometown and traveled thousands of miles to get here, who among them has not been looked down upon by others along the way?

They are just used to being scolded. Although they feel uncomfortable, they don’t take it too seriously. As long as they can have something to eat every day and don’t starve to death, they don’t care about being scolded.

Food is their foundation. The reason they have been so honest and have not stolen, robbed or caused trouble is because the government has appeased them in a timely manner.

Otherwise, so many people gathering together to cause trouble is no joke.

Now the public officials said in public that there would be no food soon, and that the few days of peace they had finally enjoyed would soon be gone, and the crowd started to make a fuss.

"What do you mean? The leader said that we would be allocated food until the spring. What do you mean by it suddenly disappeared?"

Dai Qingxia, who was already dissatisfied with Li Jun's attitude, now discovered that there was a tendency of riot in the crowd.

I regretted bringing Li Jun here more and more. I should have stopped him from talking just now.

But she didn't expect that this brainless guy would be so brainless and dare to say anything.

Worried that someone in the crowd might get too excited and do something, Dai Qingxia quickly stepped forward, pulled Li Jun over, told him to shut up, and explained to the crowd.

"Don't worry, this is not a problem. Since we promised everyone that we would supply food until the spring, we will definitely not break our promise.

However, everyone knows about the recent corruption case. It will take more than a day or two to solve the case. The embezzled grain can only be distributed after the criminals have confessed clearly.

But don't worry, we will find a way to solve your food problem in the next period of time.

After all, this matter not only concerns you, but also many people in the city who are unable to buy food."

It was a cold day and Dai Qingxia was sweating with anxiety. If she didn't solve the problem, her job as director would be over.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but curse Li Jun's whole family in her heart. They stuffed all kinds of rubbish into her house. Is this a garbage dump? Bah, bah, bah, what the hell? If Li Jun is garbage, then what is she?

Oh, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Dai Qingxia just wanted to leave quickly.

She looked down at the little boy who had called her and leaned over to ask.

"Little boy, what did you call me here to show me? Children shouldn't lie. If there's nothing else, I still have to work."

The little boy was frightened by Li Jun's attitude just now, and he was still shaking a little.

He thought it was because of him that they were angry.

Besides, he was just young, not stupid. Children from poor families have to grow up early, and he also understood what it meant to have no food to eat, so he often went hungry.

My parents said that it was good enough to have enough water to eat, at least we wouldn’t starve to death. If there was no food at all, we would be really finished.
