Chapter 31: Finding out the news
"Shh, keep your voice down, she lives next door, don't let her hear it," Zhang Xiuhua said nervously.
"She is raising two children alone, and you are still afraid that there will be no opportunity for you to take advantage of her. In the future, you should cheer up and stay closer to her. I don't need to teach you how to chase girls, do I?" Zhang Xiuhua said in a low voice.
"That woman looks okay, but she's an eyesore with two kids. My old friends would laugh at me if they knew I found someone to take care of the kids. You should find an opportunity to persuade her to send the kids to an orphanage," Zhang Xiuhua's son Yang Chao said impatiently with a disdainful tone.
"Shut up," Zhang Xiuhua interrupted him with a frown, "Do you think it's the same as before? With your father's company, you can find any woman you want. It's different now. Money can't buy anything. But this girl, just because she is a doctor, there are many people rushing to raise her children. Do you believe it?" Zhang Xiuhua looked at Yang Chao as if warning.
Yang Chao turned his head with his neck stiff, looking unconvinced.
"Oh, you naughty boy, I'm your biological mother, how can I coax you? If we dare to say we don't want the child, there will be no hope for you two. But, if we can't say it openly, we can do it secretly! There are always lost children in a peaceful society, let alone in the current situation? You should catch her first, and take things slowly with the child." Zhang Xiuhua pointed to the wall of the safe zone suggestively.
"Then how do I deal with her? I don't want to spend too much effort." Yang Chao said impatiently.
"Try to get close to her first. I'll find an opportunity for you. If it doesn't work, get someone to sneak into her tent and scare her," Zhang Xiuhua suggested.
Yang Chao slowly raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, agreeing to Zhang Xiuhua's proposal.
I don’t know if they had this conversation in their previous life. It turns out that they had been plotting against her since they met.
Rong Xianxian heard the entire conversation between the mother and son next door today.
Rong Xianxian now recalls that she knocked the intruder to the ground, and the neighboring family who rushed over after hearing the screams had a clearly abnormal reaction.
Zhang Xiuhua's son Yang Chao was obviously suppressing his excitement at first. When he saw the badly beaten invader, his face suddenly turned pale and his expression was extremely unnatural.
Rong Xianxian sneered secretly. Yang Chao was arrogant and ignorant, and Zhang Xiuhua was hypocritical and vicious. They were really a disgusting family.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiuhua shouted at the door of the tent, "Doctor Rong, are you up?"
Rong Xianxian looked at the child who was still sleeping, and reluctantly got up and walked to the door, "What's the matter?"
"Doctor Rong, let me tell you! The Safety Zone Hospital is recruiting doctors, and the salary is very good. I'll take you to have a look!" Zhang Xiuhua lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious.
"No, I want to take care of the children." Rong Xianxian refused.
"Doctor Rong, I see that you don't bring much. Even if you don't need to collect supplies these two days, what will you do when you have finished eating? What if all the doctors are recruited by then, won't you have to go to the construction site to work with them?" Zhang Xiuhua advised desperately!
"Let's talk about it when the time comes!" Rong Xianxian turned and was about to leave.
"Doctor Rong, I can help you take care of the child. I am very good at it. You can go to the hospital without worry. After all, we are old acquaintances." Zhang Xiuhua stretched out her hand and held her.
"That's not right. Children are hard to take care of, and I'm worried about them." Rong Xianxian smiled brightly and turned back to the tent.
Zhang Xiuhua looked at Rong Xianxian's back as she turned and left, stamped her feet unwillingly, and walked towards the construction site in annoyance.
Rong Xianxian took her two children for a stroll in the safe zone. She wanted to get some information about the outside world.
She pretended to walk past the group of people who were talking casually and said, "A few days ago, the small group of more than 30 people who were going back to Binyang next door were wiped out."
"The whole army was wiped out. Who brought back the news?"
"There was a seriously injured person who ran into the city and was picked up by the army. Unfortunately, he died on the way back." Someone said with a sigh.
"You said that the news has been cut off. It's fine for local families who are all together, but for those who work outside, their parents, wives and children are all in their hometowns. How can they feel at ease? People die on the construction site every day. I heard that those who are assigned to the periphery are all outsiders."
"Does the army have any news from outside?"
"No, the advance team sent out by the army to contact nearby cities has not returned yet."
Rong Xianxian walked and listened all the way. Thanks to her now sharp hearing, as long as she concentrated, she could hear what she wanted to hear.
Rong Xianxian was so focused on getting the news that she didn't notice there were two little tails following her.
Until she walked into the luxurious tent, the two people behind her looked at each other from a distance and disappeared into the crowd.
Inside a tent that looked ordinary from the outside, people wearing black cloaks sat around a round table. One of them said, "We found a person involved in the conspiracy in the base today. She is the woman with two children who ranked third on the conspiracy list."
"I remember that woman didn't exist three days ago. Recently, the master has been busy with the affairs of the Yunwu Secret Realm. Who added that woman? Do you have the master's warrant?" said another cloaked man.
"It was the eldest lady's order. She has the warrant from the head of the family." The cloaked man who had just spoken said.
"In that case, then we'll follow the rules and whoever discovers it will be responsible for carrying out the mission." The cloaked man who had just spoken made the decision.
"Okay, then when can we get the replacement of those lost message birds?" The main purpose of these people gathering was to discuss the issue of the lost message birds.
"It's hard to say. Almost all the teams are missing, which should be related to the arrival of the monsters. The lost messenger birds should have been attacked by monsters. Now we may not be able to maintain contact with the higher-ups." Most of the aristocratic families have their own unique ways of contacting each other, so after the signal is interrupted, they still have some contact with the branches in various places.
"Mom, look, Aoao is hungry. Aoao wants to eat barbecue." As soon as she returned to the tent, Xuanxuan rummaged through the backpack on her back to look for Aoao. No one knew how the person and the bird communicated. The bird chirped, but Xuanxuan could always understand what it meant.
When the bird heard Xuanxuan talking about barbecue, it nodded back and forth as if to join in.
"We agreed that you were responsible for feeding it. I don't have to worry about it." The bird didn't know what was going on. The first meal it was fed was barbecue, and it has been barbecue every day since then.
Other people's birds eat seeds and fruits, but this bird insists on eating meat, and it has to eat roasted meat?
"Mom, I want to eat barbecue," Xuanxuan said coquettishly with a pout.
Rong Xianxian looked at Xuanxuan pouting and trying to please her, and Xiaoluo leaning towards her with bright eyes, and she accepted it helplessly.
Rong Xianxian closed the tent tightly, zipped it up, took out a small barbecue grill, put on a few skewers of meat that had been cut long ago and had just been thawed, sprinkled seasoning on it, spread the charcoal fire, and started grilling.
"Bang" Yang Chao from next door kicked over the stool in the tent and was about to run out.
"Come back." Zhang Xiuhua laid her whole body on Yang Chao, pressing him down with her hands and feet.
"Don't stop me, why is it that I eat like pig food, but she has barbecue to eat?" Yang Chao felt that his mouth was already watering. This aroma was so damn tempting.
