Chapter 403 Meeting the Ex-husband
After knocking down the leader, Tianbao just stood there motionless.
He ignored the other bastards who rushed forward with ferocious looks and swung their clubs.
"I've already beaten one, I won't do it again." Tian Bao looked at the long queue in front of him and said calmly, "Porridge and medicine are saving your lives. It's up to you whether you want to watch others take it away or fight back."
"Miss! You seem to be quite skilled, so could you please help us and drive these bad guys away? This is just a piece of cake for you..." Someone in the crowd begged bravely.
Tian Bao looked in the direction of the voice. "My skills are my business. Whether I help you or not depends on my mood. Nothing in this world is taken for granted. And I can help you once or twice, not ten or a hundred times. Why, you live your life with your back held high when someone is protecting you, but you are willing to be preyed upon when no one is. Is this how you want to live?"
The people's pupils dilated sharply. The girl's seemingly cold and heartless words were actually deafening to their ears.
They looked at the bastards who were still preparing to hit the little girl but were hesitant to do so.
Behind these people are the medicine and food that can sustain their lives.
Are you willing to accept your fate and be at the mercy of others?
Or pick up your blood and fight back?
The people's breathing became faster and their eyes became redder.
"The government is not doing anything. Without these food and medicine, we will all die! I will fight them to the death!" The fiery young man who spoke first roared, clenched his fists and rushed towards the villains.
One loud shout and a hundred people responded.
Angry people raised their fists.
"That's right. We're just surviving now, so why should we be afraid of the bad guys? Let's fight! Kill them!"
"Twenty or thirty people armed with sticks dared to come and steal our life-saving food. Who gave them the guts? Beat them!"
"It's because I've been too weak that I've emboldened them. Otherwise, how could they dare to come? You sons of bitches! I'm risking my life today, come on!"
The evil men were instantly drowned out by the violent crowd. The noise was so loud that even their screams could not be heard.
When the people calmed down again, they found that the bastards they were subconsciously afraid of had all fallen at their feet.
Each one is completely unrecognizable.
They had no idea how they had fought just now.
but.
It feels so fucking good!
"Did you see it? Did you guys see it? We beat these people down! Hahahaha!"
"I thought they were so powerful, but they're so weak! Their skeletons aren't even as strong as the crops we grow!"
"Bah! It turns out it was all just empty boasting! He's just showing off because we didn't dare to resist before!"
"So I was really a coward before. A bunch of cowards scared me so much that I couldn't say a word..."
“…”
Dangdangdang——
The sensible person from Dahuai Village tapped the pot with a spoon to draw everyone's attention back. "Don't mention the bad things that happened in the past! Folks, line up and continue to distribute the porridge and medicine!"
As for the bad things that happened in the past, let’s not mention them. Just keep them in your heart. It’s so embarrassing to talk about them.
The girl who had first taken action in front of the stove had disappeared without a trace.
The people lined up spontaneously again, and every time their eyes passed by the place where the girl had just been, they were still excited, and smiles appeared unconsciously on their faces, light and warm.
Then everything returned to normal.
Tianbao lay among the dense branches of the banyan tree, dozing with his head resting on his arms, seemingly oblivious to the noise below.
Throughout one's life, the attitude with which one faces life will determine the habits one develops from life.
Once you compromise, you will compromise again and again, and your waist will bend lower and lower.
Only by daring to look up and dare to fight can you straighten your spine that may have collapsed at any time.
Now chaos has broken out in various countries.
If the bloodiness of the people in a piece of land is worn away by life, they will eventually become straw dogs.
In addition to Tianbao's place, there were also disturbances of varying sizes at other porridge distribution centers, all of which were violently suppressed by experts.
In contrast, the most peaceful place was the Ningshui Town donation point in charge of Su Xiuer.
Because the bearded man next to her was so intimidating, just one look from him could make anyone who wanted to do something mean to her shrink back, and the people who were receiving the porridge didn't even dare to breathe.
It seems particularly quiet, orderly and well managed.
Until the third day of the porridge distribution.
That day, Su Xiuer sat behind the medicine table next to the charity point as usual, examining and prescribing medicine for the people who were injured and sick in the flood.
Suddenly there was a noise from behind the long line.
"Everyone, please line up properly. Since you came later, you should stand at the back. Why are you cutting in line?"
"That's right, if you want to be at the front of the line, come earlier. We've been lining up since before dawn and only got here this far. We've waited so long and finally got our turn. Isn't it unreasonable for you to cut in like this? Why?"
"Hurry up and line up at the back! This isn't your home, you can stand wherever you want!!"
At this time, the old woman's voice rang out arrogantly, "What's the matter? I'm telling you, I'm here to stand wherever I want! The one distributing porridge in front is my daughter-in-law! You guys are here to take advantage of my food, I can chase you away, who dares to say another word to me!"
Another male voice sounded, his voice suppressed and stiff, "Mom, can you please stop making trouble? If you want to get porridge, let's go to Dahuai Village. It's close to home—"
"Shut up! What's going on with you? Your wife is right in front. I asked around and came here specially because I heard she was here. If you don't agree with me, just forget about it and make trouble!" After the old woman finished scolding, she glanced at the people around her who were stopped by her, turned around and tiptoed towards the medicine table with a smile on her face, "Xiu'er! It's really you, Xiu'er! I watched you from behind for a long time and almost didn't dare to recognize you! Oops, everyone in front got out of the way and blocked my way! Xiu'er, it's me, your mother-in-law!"
Su Xiuer handed the medicine bag to the patient she had just examined, then looked up at the old woman who had squeezed in front of her.
I haven't seen her for more than ten years. The old lady of the Chen family is now over sixty years old. She looks much older, but she doesn't have the clarity and kindness that an old person should have. Instead, she is more sarcastic and looks fierce.
When she was still a wife of the Chen family, she fulfilled her duties as a daughter-in-law, was thrifty and filial to her parents-in-law. Even when she was bullied, she never dared to tell her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. She always forced herself to smile in front of others, for fear that her relatives would worry and feel sad for her.
How repressed was it then?
Just seeing the corner of the old woman's clothes or hearing her voice would make my whole body tense subconsciously.
Now that they were face to face again, she found herself so calm. She looked at him as if he were an unrelated stranger, without any ripples in her heart.
Look at Chen Deyi.
When the old woman rushed over, Chen De followed her.
The man, who was less than forty years old, had deep fatigue in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He looked more decadent than a fifty-year-old man, and the traces of time seemed to be particularly heavy on him.
When he looked at her, his eyes were still evasive, full of bitterness and helplessness.
Just like more than ten years ago.
Whenever she was bullied by her mother-in-law, he always had this expression on his face, conveying his helplessness and asking her to be patient and bear more.
