Chapter 178
Lin Ziqiu originally planned to deliver the letter herself, but no one in the compound was willing to let her go. The Zhong family's willingness to provide food was already a timely help, so the risky things could be left to the rest of the people.
People these days are relatively simple and honest, not to mention that their families are at the forefront of the rescue, so naturally they are not willing to fall behind.
Those who can contribute must contribute.
Two days after the letter was sent, a large truck drove into the compound.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles, every household cleans the road in front of their own door and takes turns to clear the road.
The Zhong family opened their doors and gave away hundreds of bags of rice. Of course, these were hidden in two storage rooms in the backyard of the Zhong family.
Even Zhong Xuexi and Li Guixiang didn't know that their family had hoarded so much rice. Lin Ziqiu privately explained that it was Ruan Qingrang who helped to store it.
She had a falling out with the Ruan family, so she decided to place him in the Zhong family.
After all, it was a good thing to do, so Li Guixiang and the others naturally had no objections.
The comrades who came to connect with the food were Zhou Shun and his subordinates.
He stood straight and saluted Lin Ziqiu in a loud voice. "Comrade Lin Ziqiu, on behalf of all the suffering compatriots, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you!"
Zhong Heyang got married quite suddenly, and many of his close comrades were unable to attend.
Many people have never even seen his young wife.
But since getting married, Zhong Heyang has been going home more often. As long as he is not on a mission, he basically goes home to sleep every day.
Zhou Shun often teased him that Ruan Qing was so beautiful but she couldn't win him over. What kind of girl could make Captain Zhong lose his mind?
After meeting her today, Zhou Shun realized the character of Lin Ziqiu.
It's still unknown when this rainstorm will end, but she is really doing a great thing by donating food for free.
Lin Ziqiu was afraid of any complications, so she informed her family in advance. If anyone asked, she would say that the grain was stockpiled stock she bought from a state-owned restaurant. She herself works in a state-owned hotel.
Because of the flood, the state-owned restaurant closed a month early, so it was no big deal for her to buy up the stockpiled food.
As for whether the procedures are formal or not, at this critical juncture, no one will really care about the life-saving food.
What's more, the entire military compound took the food she donated, and everyone only praised her for her good deeds.
"Captain Zhou, I can only do what I can. Please distribute these grains to those who really need them."
Zhou Shun said bluntly, "You have helped a lot. After the department received the letter, they immediately sent me here."
Lin Ziqiu took out the letter that he couldn't send from his pocket and said, "I have another unwelcome request."
"It's the letter given to Captain Zhong, right?"
Zhou Shun was very understanding and took the letter with both hands. "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
Lin Ziqiu bowed slightly, "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome." Zhou Shun put the letter into his pocket, and suddenly thought of something. His Adam's apple slid up and down, and he decided to tell Lin Ziqiu.
He coughed twice and raised his eyebrows to indicate, "Well, there is something I want to discuss with Comrade Lin Ziqiu alone. Please come with me."
"Um?"
Lin Ziqiu was a little confused. He turned around and looked at his family, then walked to the back of the truck with Zhou Shun.
"Captain Zhou, what's the matter?" Seeing him so mysterious, Lin Ziqiu thought something bad had happened and his heart was hanging in mid-air.
“Don’t be nervous.” Zhou Shun saw her serious expression and chuckled. “It’s like this. Captain Zhong and I are from the same rescue team. He’s been looking at photos of a little girl lately. I’ve never seen her. I suspect he…”
"Do you suspect he has someone else outside?"
Lin Ziqiu directly continued his words.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Shun rubbed his hands. "I know it may not be a good idea to tell you this at this time, but I think you should have the right to know about this matter and should not be kept in the dark."
Lin Ziqiu is such a good girl. If Zhong Heyang really has a mistress outside and a child with her, he will definitely report him!
Lin Ziqiu smiled and gave Zhong Heyang enough trust, "He is not that kind of person."
How could a man who wants to stick to her all the time have the time to get entangled with others?
Zhou Shun raised his eyebrows, his tone full of disbelief, "How long have you been married to him? Do you trust him so much?"
"Besides, don't you know that Ruan Qing is pursuing him? Why is she living in your house now?"
This matter really puzzled him.
Logically speaking, as rivals in love, it would be good enough if they didn't fight. How could they live under the same roof?
I even heard before that Ruan Qing protected Lin Ziqiu in public and gave her cruel "stepfather and stepmother" a good beating.
Lin Ziqiu didn't explain too much, and simply brushed it off, "There's no need to have so many grudges. She's a good girl. She can't get a man because she's not destined to be with him. She won't make an enemy of me."
Zhou Shun couldn't help but give a thumbs up, secretly thinking that Lin Ziqiu must be magnanimous and tolerant.
The man from the Ruan family looked much calmer today than before. Normally, whenever he saw him, he would ask about Zhong Heyang, but today he was very honest.
"It's getting late. Captain Zhou, please leave early. Have a safe trip."
"Okay." The truck drove out of the yard and everyone went back to their homes. It was very cold outside because of the rain, so everyone went to warm themselves by the fire.
Lin Ziqiu rubbed his hands and was about to close the door when he saw a man with purple lips from the cold walking towards him from a distance.
"Xiao Qiu!"
Lin Dahai's voice was hoarse and he looked extremely embarrassed. His teeth were chattering when he spoke.
Lin Ziqiu frowned, his eyes full of indifference, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Dahai took two steps at a time and stepped forward, pushing against the door. "Give me something to eat. I've been hungry for two days... I really... cough cough..."
He covered his mouth and started coughing violently, obviously catching a cold.
Lin Ziqiu no longer had any feelings for him, if there was any, it was only hatred.
I hate him for killing my mother.
"It has nothing to do with me if you starve to death."
She slammed the door mercilessly, her eyes filled with hatred.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xiumei hadn't been dealt with yet, she really wanted to get rid of Lin Dahai on the spot.
Lin Dahai didn't expect her to go this far and really turn a blind eye to him as a father. He banged on the door and shouted weakly in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Qiu... Daddy is wrong and has made you suffer a lot. Give Daddy another chance, and Daddy will definitely make it up to you in the future!"
When Li Guixiang and the others heard the noise outside, they all ran into the yard again.
Seeing Lin Ziqiu leaning against the gate with red eyes, he looked very worried.
Tian Xiaofeng was the first to be attacked. He ran over and pulled Lin Ziqiu behind him. He opened the door and yelled at Lin Dahai, "If you still have a conscience, you shouldn't have come to see your sister!"
