The little boy staggered a few steps, Xia Shige quickly supported him, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, little friend, I accidentally bumped into you, are you okay?"
When the little boy heard this, he just looked up at Xia Shige blankly, as if he hadn't reacted.
Although he was very young, he did not look as lively and active as a teenager. His eyes were filled with tiredness and exhaustion, which was the numbness that came from years of ravages from natural disasters.
The two parents beside the little boy also looked haggard and dirty. When they saw two black handprints on Xia Shige's light-colored pants, they apologized to Xia Shige a little embarrassedly.
The little boy's mother said with guilt: "I'm sorry, little girl, my hands are dirty and I made your pants dirty..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Shige quickly waved his hands and replied, "Don't say that. It was my own carelessness."
After some conversation, Xia Shige learned that the family of three had moved here from an underground shelter in the south of the city. They had escaped the snowstorm there, and when the weather finally warmed up, they unexpectedly encountered a flood again.
Upon learning that the family of three wanted to receive disaster relief food but could not find a supply point, Xia Shige offered to lead the way for them.
The group arrived at Jingjing Supermarket. There was already a long queue in front of the supermarket entrance. They were all disaster victims waiting to receive relief supplies. What surprised Xia Shige was that Lin Mai was also there.
Lin Mai was wearing a raincoat, and her trouser legs were soaked by the rain, but she didn't care at all and continued to sort out the relief rations on the ground.
Seeing this, Xia Shige walked up to him and asked, "Lin Mai, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Lin Mai raised his head and glanced at Xia Shige with a subtle look, then lowered his head guiltily and replied, "I, I'm doing volunteer work for the community... that was the one before... a month of free labor..."
After hearing what Lin Mai said, Xia Shige finally remembered——
Previously, Lin Mai and Wang Yifan teamed up with Song Yuhan's mother to frame her for burglary. After she exposed the truth, Lin Mai was sentenced to be a foster child in the community for one month.
And because it had been snowing before, Lin Mai's one-month "sentence" was delayed to the present time.
If Lin Mai hadn't said it, Xia Shige would have almost forgotten about it.
Now think about it, in just half a year, except for Lin Mai, all the other people who set up the trap to frame her were dead...
Lin Mai didn't know whether she was regretful or guilty, her face flushed, and she said to Xia Shige: "I'm really sorry about what happened before... I, I will definitely work hard and correct it..."
Thinking back to what he had done at that time, Lin Mai felt ashamed and regretful, and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Xia Shige waved his hand indifferently. Now Wang Yifan and the Song family were all dead, and there was no point in bringing it up again.
After leaving Jingjing Supermarket, Xia Shige wanted to find Xia Huiyin, but unexpectedly saw Bai Qianqian again.
Bai Qianqian was wearing a transparent raincoat, with a pink and white sportswear underneath. She also wore a baseball cap and had her hair tied in a ponytail. She looked particularly youthful and did not fit in with the group of miserable disaster victims. Xia Shige spotted her in the crowd at a glance.
"Bai Qianqian, what are you doing here?"
Bai Qianqian was chatting with the disaster victims beside her. She was a little surprised to see Xia Shige coming over, but she still answered truthfully: "We are helping to settle the disaster victims and provide them with shelter."
