"Tell me, tell me, I'll talk, brother, please stop hitting me."
Zhang Erhui's face was swollen on one side, and his other eye was also bruised.
Trembling, he began to recount what he had done: "Last night, I was curious about those houses in the front row, which are always locked, so I wanted to go inside and take a look. I never expected to be discovered today."
"Anything else?"
No...that's all.
Zhang Dahui raised his hand to hit him again, "Ah, he... he also took a little something, just... just a little." Zhang Erhui dodged backward repeatedly.
Zhang Dahui wasn't looking at him; he immediately went upstairs to check on the second son's room.
He was shocked when he saw it. Zhang Dahui had thought that since there wasn't much, he would just take it down and return it.
But now the second son's room is so cramped there's barely any room to step; it's filled with supplies piled high everywhere.
Zhang Dahui turned and went downstairs, grabbed a broom, and struck Zhang Erhui seventy-two times with it, each blow making a loud thud.
This broom is still quite sturdy; after all, it's an innovative creation made by Zhang Dahui from scrap steel bars and broom heads he picked up at the construction site.
You deserve to have a tool to educate Xiong Lao Er!
Later, everyone learned that Zhang Erhui had known all along that the house was full of supplies and had been coveting it for a long time.
In his view, if he could produce some and sell them in the city, someone would definitely want them, and at a high price, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money?
Once the city recovers, he'll be rich—what a perfect plan!
"Slap!" Another slap landed on the back of Zhang Erhui's head. His mother's hand trembled as she pointed at him, her expression one of utter disappointment.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation; this was a rotten apple that couldn't be allowed to grow.
Feng Xuanlang was also furious. He couldn't bear it for a moment, but it brought such a great disaster, and they even dared to touch everyone's survival supplies.
Over there, everyone had already started raising their hands to vote on whether to kick Zhang Erhui and his wife out, letting them go wherever they wanted.
Meanwhile, the two brothers' mother started begging Zhang Dahui again, grabbing his arm with tears in her eyes.
Yue Wu felt sorry for Zhang Dahui, with an immature younger brother and a biased mother, and couldn't help but shake her head.
Feng Xuanlang suddenly looked at Yue Wu with a very focused gaze, and Yue Wu unconsciously tilted her head back.
What's this guy trying to do? Is he going to make himself the bad guy and drive Zhang Erhui away?
Hmph! Don't even think about it. Whoever provoked them should deal with it.
Yue Wu turned her head to the side, refusing to look at Feng Xuanlang.
Feng Xuanlang stood up abruptly, clapped his hands, and everyone stopped and looked at him.
"Now, I want to say three things. First, the villa complex will be divided into three areas, which will be divided along the two longitudinal lines between them. Area 1 and the tunnel will be merged and separated by a fence. Area 2 and Area 3 will also be separated, and residents will live in different areas in the future."
"Second, the supplies will remain untouched. All residents in Zone 1 will be moved to Zone 2. Once the move is completed today, the brothers who are already in Zone 2 will work hard today to build the fence."
"Third, once Zhang Erhui and Wang Jingyi move to the Third District, they are not allowed to go to other districts without permission. At the same time, if similar negative incidents occur again in all villa communities, residents should vote by show of hands on whether to move to the Third District or be evicted."
"Does anyone have any objections to what I just said?" Feng Xuanlang looked around, and everyone shook their heads.
Zhang Erhui is an exception and not important.
“Since there isn’t one, then from now on these three rules will be followed. Anyone who disagrees may leave,” Feng Xuanlang declared decisively.
Everyone scattered, some moving, some building fences, all getting busy.
Feng Xuanlang found Yue Wu and apologized to her, "I'm sorry this happened; it goes against your original intention in building this place. I know I should have driven Zhang Erhui away; that would have been the best choice for this place. But I can't put Da Hui in a difficult position. So..."
Yue Wu looked at Feng Xuanlang and said, "Do you know what? I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you!"
Feng Xuanlang: ......
Suddenly, he felt even more ashamed, unworthy of her trust.
However, from this point onward, Feng Xuanlang prioritized music and dance in everything he did, and never changed his mind.
Temperatures continued to rise, reaching around ten degrees Celsius daily. Drainage and dam repairs were underway across the country, and the floodwaters in City A were steadily receding. Power was restored to some shallow water areas thanks to emergency repairs, prompting cheers from the local residents.
Everything is moving in a positive direction, and many elderly people are even saying to the heavens, "Heaven has finally opened its eyes."
But another great disaster is silently approaching, while many people are beginning to celebrate the end of the extreme cold.
Le Wu tidied up the juice she had made over the past few days and put it on the cart, ready to deliver it to everyone in a bit.
Since Octopus and the two squirrels hadn't left their space for too long, Yuewu released them. Octopus was thrown into her fish tank in the living room, while the two squirrels followed Yuewu out, each perching on one of her shoulders—they were incredibly cute.
We arrived at A-Yue's house first. When A-Yue saw the squirrel, she was amazed and circled around it, wanting to touch it but not daring to.
Le Wu then handed Su Su to A Yue, letting her have a go at handling her.
The little girl even held her breath, afraid of scaring the little squirrel.
Su Su is also good at acting cute and charming, and she always makes gestures like cupping her hands and hugging her arms. A Yue is completely captivated by her and can't wait to stick her eyes to Su Su.
Le Wu took out various fruit juices and told them to put them in the refrigerator so they could drink them for a while. She also reminded the elderly that everyone should drink them, as they were good for their health, and worried that they might be reluctant to part with them and save them for the children.
In fact, the whole family noticed that the juice that Lewu brought tasted particularly good, and after drinking it, they felt very comfortable, a kind of refreshing feeling from the inside out.
The elderly lady and Yue's father, in particular, felt the effects very clearly. They both agreed that the juice was indeed very good for their health, so the whole family drank it.
Only when we are healthy can we stay together for longer.
After playing for a while, Yuewu was about to leave. As soon as she heard the signal, Susu immediately left Ayue and jumped onto Yuewu, making everyone laugh. This little one is really clever.
When they arrived at Feng Xuanlang's house, they found several people there, discussing something.
Le Wu neither asked nor participated; she simply gave all the remaining large bags of juice on the cart to Feng Xuanlang so he could share them with everyone, and then left.
After the music and dance performance ended, Feng Xuanlang opened a bag, took out about ten bottles of juice, and distributed them to everyone. He took a sip first; it was cool, sweet, and especially delicious.
Seeing this, others also started drinking it. The taste was so good that everyone couldn't help but praise it.
