Chapter 150 The Ruan Family Joins
The old lady's body was cremated by her friends, who found a good place to bury it and erected a tombstone. Without her, the ending might not be what it is now.
Fei Jiuliang and his wife used this to calm the public anger, and He's father could only sigh.
Ruan Kui's little granddaughter was eaten by the baby girl, who also ate three old men and women huddled in the corner. The light inside was dim, and that was why Rong Deju did not notice anything unusual.
A total of four people died in the shack, but the others were fine and just needed to be recuperated. Ruan Zi injured her body during childbirth and might become a sickly person in the future, but fortunately she has the love of her family, so she shouldn't be too sad.
After the couple woke up, Rong Deju personally visited them and gave them many gifts. Although he came from a black background, he was a man of integrity and gratitude. Without a large team this time, his victory wouldn't be so easy, and there was a possibility he wouldn't win at all, with decades of hard work going to waste.
He would not blame Lan Shiruo and the others for this disaster. That was something only a narrow-minded and hopeless man would do. He was a generous and promising man.
A week later, the big group packed up and left. Rong Dazhi burst into tears and wanted to abandon his father and join the big group.
Rong Deju also cried, lamenting his miserable life of raising a child who had no home.
Buddy
Lan Shiruo glanced at Rong Dazhi and said, "It's time to grow up. Your father is not Superman, and he won't be immortal."
After the big team left, Rong Dazhi still had tears in his eyes and was in a daze.
Rong Deju was secretly happy, shaking his fat body and humming a little tune as he walked away.
After leaving the city gate, they found Ruan Kui's family of five standing at the city gate. The old couple were carrying the young couple on their backs, and a little boy was standing next to them, as if waiting for them.
Miao's father got out of the car and asked, "Lao Ruan, where are you going?"
Ruan Kui pushed his son-in-law up on his back, trying to muster up some courage. "Old Miao, Miss Lan, Mr. Ao, I, I want to ask you to take our family of five in. I know that our family, with its old, weak, sick, and disabled members, is a burden and a nuisance. It's useless for us to follow you, but I want my children to live, so I'm shamelessly asking you to take us in."
Ruan Kui's wife wept bitterly, her head hung low, not wanting to look at the large group. Ruan Zi, who was on his back, was half asleep and half awake, and had already become dazed.
Huo Jing was already ashamed to be supported by his father-in-law, and now he wanted his father-in-law to beg others for them, which made him feel ashamed and angry. But he couldn't stop his father-in-law just for the sake of his own face. His wife wanted to live, his children wanted to live, and he also wanted his father-in-law and mother-in-law to live.
"Although I am disabled, I still have two hands. I can work. I can do any kind of work. Please give us a chance."
Lan Shiruo's face was calm. "If you want to survive, wouldn't it be better to stay in W City? The shantytown is being renovated. The environment will improve, and life will get better and better."
Ruan Kui smiled bitterly, "I know that staying in W City, in the shanty town, can allow one to live a stable life, but it is only a temporary survival. The other old brothers are afraid and dare not take their wives and children on the road. They live one day at a time in W City. But I don't want that. I want my children to let Qingyun live for a long time. Living in the shanty town, my ability can only allow them to drink a sip of thin water every day. They lack medical care, medicine and food. With their physical condition, they can't survive a year. So, I want to come out and fight. I want to have more opportunities with you. I know that this is too much to ask, but I can't bear it. I want to try. I can repay you with my life. I..." The old man burst into tears.
Lan Shiruo sighed softly, "Stay, we also have responsibilities for your little granddaughter."
"No, no, no. The child weighed only a little over one pound when she was born and could not be raised. Although we are heartbroken, we are also glad that she did not suffer too much hardship in this life. I hope she will be born into a good family in her next life. This matter has nothing to do with you, really. We don't mean to blame you. We are not ashamed to think so." Ruan Kui's family became panicked. They definitely had no intention of asking for debt.
Lan Shiruo smiled, "Don't worry, I know you don't blame us, but we have to apologize. I didn't keep you here because I felt sorry for you, but because I was moved by your family's sincerity. There are many families who can work together, so welcome."
It was a blessing from heaven, and the Ruan family was stunned. "Thank you, thank you." They didn't know what else to say except thank you. They didn't dare to hold out hope. With such a burden on their family, staying would just be a waste of food. Who would want to leave? But they still had the nerve to come. What good people, what good people.
Huo Qingyun straightened his skinny little body and looked up at Lan Shiruo. "Auntie Lan, I can fight monsters with grandpa. We won't have to eat for free. When I grow up, I can fight many monsters."
Lan Shiruo smiled and touched his head, "You can't fight monsters, you have more important tasks."
"What is it? I can definitely do it."
"You are a big brother now. You have to help Aunt Lan take care of your younger brothers and sisters. This task is very important. Can you do it well?"
"Yes, I can, Aunt Lan, I definitely can." The little man wanted to let the whole world know that he could do it.
"Okay, Auntie will take good care of you. Be good, your mission starts from now on, go."
Huo Qingyun strode onto the bus with his head held high, turned around and waved to his grandparents and father, "I can do it."
The three of them cried while laughing, even Ruan Zi, who was sleeping, shed tears.
Lan Shiruo invited the four people to get in the car. "Sit for now. Once we find a place to stay tonight, I'll let you wash up properly. Guo Zi, find Ruan Zi a place to lie down. There's no magic pill that can cure her immediately. We can only take care of her slowly. You also know that we don't have our own territory, and there are many threats, both overt and covert. There will be many dangers along the way. It's very likely that you won't survive as long as you did in W City. Be prepared."
"We know and have thought of all the possibilities. No matter what the consequences are, you will bear them all by yourself. Even if you die now, it is our fate. We will never blame you. You are our benefactors, our great benefactors."
Lan Shiruo shook her head. "Stop talking about benefactors. It's just a matter of lending a hand. And don't say anything unlucky. People always need hope to live a comfortable life." Lan Shiruo took out a small pot of porridge. "Have some first to fill your stomach so that you won't feel uncomfortable in the car. After drinking, you can rest. There's nothing else to do now."
A few people did not refuse. What right did they have to refuse now? They thanked him with tears in their eyes and drank carefully.
The big team did not stop to rest at noon because of the joining of the Ruan family.
Before nightfall, we found a safe place to set up camp.
They didn't set up a tent, but instead parked the RV and told the Ruan family to wash up and change into clean clothes. The Ruan family was surprised, but didn't ask a single question.
Lan Shiruo took out another double-decker bus and asked Guo Zi to modify it. The upper deck was for the Ruan family and four middle-aged elderly people, and the lower deck was for the little friends. Several children and the spirits also went to play on it.
