A group of people went in and took a look around. Apart from the pair of big white geese that made people jealous, there was nothing wrong with anything else.
Huang Shufen and her group of female relatives rummaged around very unkindly, but apart from a small amount of food, they really didn't find anything.
Huang Shufen and her group refused to believe it: "Even if you don't have those supplies at home, you would hide them in the homes of your friends and relatives, or hide them outside! To prove your innocence, we have to search the homes of your friends and relatives."
Yang Wentao's face darkened: "Don't go too far!"
"You have nothing to fear if you are innocent. Since you haven't done it, let us search you!" Wu En's wife said fearlessly.
"You are dreaming!" Yu Yong touched his face which was hurt by the beatings from the women and said viciously, "Who do you think you are? You want to search my house! Do you have a search warrant or do you want to break into a private house? Let's see what you can do! If it weren't for the neighbors and the death of your husband, Su Ming and sister-in-law would let you in to search to ease your mind. Do you think you can enter their house by making a scene? You are also searching relatives and friends. Why don't you use your pig heads and think about what Wu En's family has done! Don't preach to me. You cry and make a fuss in front of me. I won't fall for it. If you have a temper, just call the police and see what they say. If the police say it's okay, I will torture you to death!"
The reason why Yu Yong can live safely to this day is not because of his identity as a rich second-generation and being a naive person. In fact, his family is in the medical equipment business and has many competitors. Some of these competitors often do some shameful things to threaten his family, such as kidnapping and intimidation.
Yu Yong was cheated and deceived several times when he was a child, which scared his parents so much that they asked him to practice boxing, Sanda and Taekwondo since he was young. Because he has a bad luck BUF, he has been through many battles and is very capable after fighting and protecting himself for so many years. He can easily deal with ten of these powerless women.
Wu En's wife knew she was in the wrong, and she was upset because Yang Wentao broke her arm. She just threw it out and pointed at Yang Wentao and others with snot and tears, saying, "Everyone has seen it. Cheng's relatives and friends are just hooligans. They broke my arm at every turn, and they want to kill us! They are so shameless that they say they have never done anything unscrupulous. Do you believe them?"
No one else said anything, but Si Nan was annoyed by their noise and drove them away directly: "You were allowed in and the house was shown to you. If you think we killed Wu En and his gang, just call the police and let the police handle it. Get out, I need to catch up on my sleep. You woke me up at six in the morning."
The other residents were also still asleep. They just watched the fun in vain and left the Cheng family yawning.
Huang Shufen and other female relatives were disappointed and left in shame.
When they left the Cheng family's passage, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gong family stared fiercely at Wu En's wife and Fang Huaimeng and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"What I said is true. I really saw the couple following my husband and his family out that night." Fang Huaimeng replied with a pale face.
Wu En's wife was not afraid of boiling water: "What I said is true, believe it or not."
Chen Bo's wife, Teacher Li, had a mocking smile on her cold face: "The people are dead and the bodies have been buried. No matter whether what you two said is true or false, there is no evidence now. I advise you to put away those little thoughts and don't provoke the Cheng couple. No one who can survive to this day is a good person."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gong family did not say anything. She turned her head and looked at the tightly closed door of the Cheng family, with a resentful gleam in her eyes.
Si Nan closed the door, rubbed her throbbing temples, and wanted to go back to her room to sleep, but she was woken up by this group of people. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Cheng Suming saw that she was mentally exhausted, so he reached out and rubbed her temples. "There's no need to let them in. They won't be able to find evidence that it was us no matter what they say."
His strength was neither too strong nor too weak. Si Nan closed his eyes comfortably and let him help rub his body. "Wu En was indeed killed by me. He wanted us to be his scapegoats. How could I let him get away and expose the fact that we had been there? If those women want to explain, I will give them an explanation."
Cheng Suming was silent for a while: "Weren't you afraid at that time?"
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that we will die there, or that you will kill someone?"
Si Nan opened his eyes, got up and stared into his eyes and said, "If it's the former, I can tell you very clearly that I'm not afraid of death. Before I married you, I felt that this world was too cold, and that my struggle in it was no different from death. I was dispensable to the world, so I risked my life to save Cheng Wei. I thought that since I was not afraid of death, I should do something good before I die to make my death worthwhile. Maybe after I die, the people I saved will still remember me and come to my grave every year to visit me."
She sneered at this point, "Then I met you and married you. To be honest, I never trusted you. I always felt that we were too hasty to get married and live together. We didn't have any basic feelings for each other, and we were even worse than strangers. But after these two years of getting along, I've seen how good you have been to me. I'm not a stone that can't be warmed. When I saw you blocking the bullet for me that day, dying, I felt distressed and panicked, afraid that you would die. Only then did I realize that in fact, you have occupied a huge place in my heart in these two years. So under such psychological pressure, even though I was afraid of killing someone, I still did it. I couldn't leave us with unknown bombs that would take our lives because of my momentary softness."
"Anan, I'm sorry." Cheng Suming felt a pain in his heart and hugged her in his arms. "I appeared in your life too late and didn't take good care of you. You didn't feel the warmth and did irrational things. When we got married, I promised you that no matter when and where, no matter what happened, I would protect you, and I would always do it. And you don't need to blame yourself for what you did for me. One day, people will take that path to protect themselves and their relatives and friends."
When he met Si Nan in his previous life, Si Nan had become an extremely cold-blooded female killer. She would kill anyone who dared to take advantage of her or attack her.
He met her by chance, and later they became neighbors. They accepted base missions together. On the way to find supplies, she was seriously injured while protecting her teammates. He picked up the scalpel, performed surgery on her, and pulled her back from the brink of death. Only then did she regard him as a friend, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
After spending some time with her, he discovered that she was not as cold and heartless as she appeared. At least when facing her relatives and friends, she would laugh, cry, get angry, and act coquettishly.
At that time, he was thinking, she looked no different from an ordinary woman, but how could she be so cold and ruthless when facing outsiders, and her actions made people terrified? What happened to her before she met him that made her become like this?
After being reborn in a strange yet familiar country, he understood that he was just a stranger to Sinan.
He suddenly became afraid to face the unfamiliar Si Nan, afraid that Si Nan would become independent and strong like in his previous life, and would not need him by her side, and would never give him the chance to confess his feelings until his death.
Unexpectedly, God opened his eyes. Because of his rebirth, many trajectories in this life changed. Originally, only Yang Wentao and a few other passers-by were Cheng Wei's saviors, but suddenly Si Nan appeared, and Si Nan coincidentally rented his house, so the following events went smoothly.
Deep down, he didn't want Si Nan to become like the female evil star in her previous life who killed gods and Buddhas. However, under the severe natural disasters in the future and people's hearts that were increasingly out of control, if he protected Si Nan too well, she would become like Cheng Wei, a greenhouse flower who was ignorant of the world. This would be a fatal danger to her, so he had to let her go.
The price she paid for her actions was that after what happened that night, she had nightmares every night and woke up exhausted every night. He could only hold her tightly in his arms and comfort her while she was dreaming, saying that he was there and no one could hurt her.
Si Nan was comforted by him, and the two hugged each other for a while. Cheng Su Ming heard her stomach rumbling, so he let go of her and stood up, "What do you want to eat this morning?"
"Let's cook some light-flavored egg noodles. We were just robbed. If we cook something else with a strong flavor, we'll just be slapping ourselves in the face."
"Okay." Cheng Suming took the two eggs she took out from the space and went to the kitchen to cook egg noodles.
When he cooked egg noodles, he did not fry or stir-fry the eggs. Instead, he cracked the egg shells and cooked the whole egg in the pot, making egg noodles with poached eggs.
In this way, no aroma can be transmitted outside. Put lard, shallot, soy sauce, chili oil and pepper powder in the noodle bowl, then pour a little balsamic vinegar, scoop two spoonfuls of noodle soup at the bottom of the bowl, dissolve the lard, scoop up the noodles, and blanch a few green lettuce leaves in it. It looks good and tastes good. Sinan was very satisfied with the meal and even didn't miss the soup base.
After breakfast, Cheng Suming opened his laptop without internet access and started typing away. He quickly looked up, pushed up his glasses, and said to Si Nan, who was sitting opposite him, "There is less than a month left before the next natural disaster, and the water hasn't receded yet."
Si Nan was bored, so he took out some wool from the space and started rolling it, wanting to knit a towel for Cheng Su Ming. Hearing this, he paused and said, "The last time the hailstorm came a month early, will it come early this time?"
"Not sure." Cheng Suming frowned deeply. "One thing is certain, the dreams that you, I, and the mysterious man warned about are all about the next natural disaster that will begin after the water recedes. Before the water recedes, there is no need to worry about other problems."
"That's good. If the water doesn't recede by then and another natural disaster occurs, then humans on Earth will have no way to survive."
"That won't happen. Nature wants to reshuffle the cards and give all creatures on Earth a chance to survive. If it doesn't, we don't have to struggle anymore and can just wait to die."
Si Nan chuckled: "When did you become so negative?"
Cheng Suming closed the computer and said, "This is not negativity. This is a fact. Everything has its own rules, and so does nature. No matter how severe and harsh the natural disaster environment is, it will always give humans a glimmer of hope according to the rules, and there will not be a situation where all people will die."
"You sound like you know a lot about natural disasters."
Cheng Suming lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He had experiences in his previous life and naturally understood natural disasters, but the trajectory of his current life had changed because of his rebirth, and he was unsure. However, he would not tell Si Nan about these things.
A few days later, after the residents of Building 14 had been eagerly waiting, they finally saw the ship carrying supplies from the country.
It was a large cargo ship, which used to only sail in the riverside waters of Xingcheng, but now it could sail throughout the entire Xingcheng, which made people feel deeply moved.
When the water level first rose, the country sent supplies by using helicopters or speedboats to transport relief food. Later, perhaps because they felt that this was inefficient, the country switched to using large ships to deliver food and drink to each community.
However, at that time, not every household had water transportation such as rafts to collect supplies, and many communities could not be directly entered by boat, so the supply ships were often parked on the wide water outside the community, and community workers went to collect the supplies on their behalf.
Due to the special terrain of Shenxianyuan, many street-facing shops were built outside the community, forming a high wall that blocks the Shenxianyuan community inside. The large ships that the state uses to deliver relief grain cannot enter the community and can only park outside the community. People have to stand on the balcony on high floors to see the shadow of the supply ship.
When people saw the long-lost supply ship, they were overjoyed. They ran around to tell each other and went downstairs one after another.
Those who did not have water transportation discussed with each other and tried to borrow some to get supplies. Those who did not have any transportation and were in a hurry to get supplies simply took their own laundry basins and other things and paddled to get them.
Many residents of Building 14 had previously borrowed the speedboat of Cheng Suming and his companions to go out. Now, seeing five people getting on the speedboat with extra seats, those who had no conflicts with Cheng Suming and his companions naturally said a few words and got on.
Huang Shufen and her group of female relatives had managed to get some rafts and other means of transportation, but they were all rowed away by Wu En and his men that night. The next day, they got a few basins and rowed to the bandit stronghold to check out what was going on. Not only were their husbands and brothers dead, most of the supplies in the stronghold were gone, and even the rafts were nowhere to be seen. How could they not be angry?
Now seeing that Cheng Suming and his companions' speedboat was not full and were paddling away, Huang Shufen and the other female relatives were so upset that they could not bring themselves to ask others to take them. They could only go home to find a larger basin and try to row to the supply boat to get the supplies.
The supply ship was parked on a relatively flat spot, which used to be a main road. A loudspeaker was hung on the bow of the ship, and it kept shouting: "Notice! Today is the day to collect supplies. Community workers or owners, please bring your own transportation to collect supplies. One household at a time. Please bring your ID card or household registration booklet. You are not allowed to use someone else's ID card or household registration booklet to collect supplies on your behalf!"
Various kinds of water transport vehicles surrounded the supply ship, and military soldiers wearing life jackets and holding guns asked everyone to line up while taking the household registration books and identity cards handed over by people to verify the recipients' information.
A soldier saw that the owners of Shenxianyuan came to collect supplies today, and he couldn't help but say, "Why didn't your community staff come to collect supplies for you today?"
"Something happened to him and he can't come today." Someone answered.
"Oh? What's the matter?" a young soldier asked curiously.
The man briefly described what happened more than a month ago. The young soldier's face turned strange and he muttered, "Before, Wu En said that many residents of your Shenxian Garden were not convenient to collect supplies, so they asked him to collect them on their behalf. We always sent soldiers to verify with him. Later, we were short of manpower, and after confirming the information of your residents, we did not send anyone to accompany him. From that time on, every time he collected supplies, he brought a few fierce-looking strangers with him. I thought they were the residents over there. Now I think he must have been targeted by those hateful bandits a long time ago."
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Now even the dumbest person knows that there is something wrong with Wu En. The residents of Shenxianyuan look at each other with unpredictable eyes.
When Wu En volunteered to collect the supplies, many people disagreed, fearing that he would use public power for personal gain and embezzle the supplies.
However, with his insistence, many families did not object. After all, not many families had water transportation.
Later, he brought people to deliver the goods to the door. Everyone checked the number of supplies delivered and found that there was indeed no sign of embezzlement. Only then did everyone feel at ease to let him deliver the goods to the door.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly thoughtful and kind gesture was actually a death warrant.
Immediately, the relatives and friends of the victim could not help but collect the supplies, and paddled on water transport to Wu En’s home in Building 14 to ask for an explanation from Wu En’s wife.
I don’t know if Wu En’s wife and her family were feeling guilty or were afraid of being exposed, but they didn’t come to collect the supplies today.
The onlookers speculated, "Do you think this family is worried that the truth will be exposed and they just ran away? Otherwise, why wouldn't they come to collect the supplies, which is so important?"
"It's very likely. Even though the temporary shelter is in chaos, it's better to go there than to be beaten to death if the truth is revealed."
"I heard that woman brought a bunch of women who had been in trouble to Dr. Cheng's house a few days ago and cried thief. Mrs. Cheng was cornered by them and had no choice but to let them in to search the house, but they refused to give in and wanted to search the houses of their relatives and friends. Later, Mrs. Cheng coldly asked them to call the police to search the houses, and only then did they stop with a guilty conscience."
"There is such a thing. Doctor Cheng is such a good person. During the previous high temperature and heavy rain, many people were sick. Doctor Cheng braved the high temperature and heavy rain to come to everyone's door to treat them. Although he had to charge some money as a consultation fee, it was much better than the prices in the hospital. Moreover, when Doctor Cheng was in a good mood, he treated many people for free. How could such a good person be targeted by these vicious people who can't stand him living better than them?"
"That's right. Only Dr. Cheng and his wife have good tempers. If it were me, I would definitely have a fight with them and let them see who is more arrogant."
Huang Shufen and the others heard what everyone was saying. They felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, they felt they had been deceived and that their brother's death was not worth it, which made them angry. On the other hand, they felt ashamed for having believed Fang Huaimeng's words and attacking the Cheng family.
They lowered their heads, said nothing, received the supplies, and paddled back home silently.
Cheng Wei was relieved to see the hurriedly leaving figure: "Now the truth is out. You know you have wronged my brother and sister-in-law. Let's see how you will face us in the future!"
Si Nan smiled without saying anything. She did not tell Cheng Wei and the others about what happened that night and that she was the one who killed Wu En. She only said that Wu En used them as scapegoats, but ended up making things worse and was beaten to death by the gang of bandits.
The reason she did this was that she didn't want others to know that her hands were stained with blood and cause trouble for herself.
Second, Cheng Suming didn't want others to know that he had a gun, which would cause panic and other thoughts in others, so the couple unanimously chose to conceal it.
Now that Wu En's deeds have been exposed, the attention of Huang Shufen and her group of noisy women has been diverted, and Si Nan feels a lot more relieved.
Seeing that the supply ship actually distributed one Chinese cabbage, half a pound of mung bean sprouts, about a pound of green leaf lettuce, four fist-sized potatoes, six sweet potatoes, all fresh, and three pounds of rice to each household, she couldn't help but wonder, "Are these all newly grown by the government?"
"The country must have stockpiled seeds for all grain, fruit and vegetable industries in advance. Recently, it has rained less and less, and it sometimes clears up. The country may have seized this period of time to carry out large-scale planting." Cheng Suming said as he took the supplies handed over by the soldiers.
"Where can we grow them?" Cheng Wei asked innocently, "The land on the ground is always soaked by water, and the city is full of high-rise buildings. Where can we grow them?"
"Sister, you are really a city person, you are so naive." Yu Yong hurriedly carried the supplies and sat on the assault boat. He said to her: "The land is flooded, and there are mountains. We can't grow crops in the city, but we can always grow crops in the countryside. Our country has plenty of ways to solve all crises."
Cheng Wei blushed: "I haven't been to the countryside much, so I forgot about it for a moment."
"Don't worry. If I have the chance in the future, I will take you to travel all over the country to see scenery you have never seen." Yang Wentao put the supplies on the speedboat and waited for several families who were traveling the same way to collect the supplies before paddling back with Yu Yong.
"Wentao, you are the best to me." Cheng Wei had a sweet look on her face, hugging Yang Wentao's back and acting coquettishly: "I don't know when the water will stop and how long it will take for the natural disaster to end. I really want to go out and play."
"Who doesn't want to go out and play?" Yu Yong saw Yang Wentao deliberately slowing down his paddling speed to avoid hitting Cheng Wei with his oars. The corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear. The sour smell of love hit him, a single dog. There was a real couple sitting next to him, also sitting together sweetly, looking at the distributed supplies and discussing how other people grow their vegetables. He felt sour in his heart: "When the water recedes and the natural disaster stops, I will also find a beautiful girlfriend to travel around the world and show my love in front of you."
Cheng Suming raised his eyebrows, took Si Nan, who was looking down at the rice, into his arms, and gave him a contemptuous smile: "Then you better hold on tight."
Damn, who am I looking down on?
Yu Yong was very angry. He silently scanned the beauties he had seen in Shenxian Garden in his mind, and wondered when to invite these beauties to his home to discuss their future ideals.
