Chapter 216 Extreme cold. Lure the snake out of its hole
Early the next morning, Chu An pulled Gu Ye out of bed, ate a quick meal, and came to the gate of the community again.
There was no one on duty, so the two of them wandered around the fence, and when they pushed the windows, they found they were locked, and breaking them was not a good idea. She could be selfish, but she could not harm others for her own benefit.
After the stroll, they could only wait at the door. About half an hour later, the sky brightened slightly. Yesterday's leader came out of the building in a hurry, followed by seven people. He must have seen the two of them from the window.
The eight people were holding various knives in their hands, and they were very aggressive. If they said they would not leave once, their purpose must be not simple. There have been many similar situations in the past, causing a lot of trouble.
Teacher Zhao on the eighth floor, his family of three were killed by their own students. The Li family on the tenth floor were killed by distant relatives who came to seek refuge. And the Guo family, although no one has died yet, their assets have been emptied.
The Guo family used to be the most prominent family in this building. One of the couple was the president of the Lian City Painters Association and was well-known in the circle, while the other was a senior executive of a private company with an astonishingly high salary.
After the natural disaster broke out, they first donated most of the supplies to their mother's family, and also helped a lot of neighbors and colleagues. As a result, they made people jealous. One moment a member of the association came to ask for rice, the next moment a disciple came to ask for face, and some even came to ask to live in their house.
It was too late for the Guo family to stop. At that time, the people in the building had not yet united. One night, the Guo family was robbed. Several neighbors who had received help in the past heard the noise and came over to help drive away the villains. Both the couple were injured and it took them a long time to recover before they could go out.
As a result, after a few days of peace, her mother's family came again. At first, they didn't know what old lady Chu was like, but thought that relatives came and they could take care of each other, so they were quite happy for them.
Later, I gradually discovered that it was always the couple who went out to look for supplies, and Guo Changren was getting thinner and thinner, so I felt something was wrong.
But they were the mother-in-law and the son-in-law, and neither of them chased them away. As neighbors, they couldn't say anything and could only help out more.
A while ago, a neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and urged him to take his younger brother to look for supplies. His mother-in-law's younger brother is tall and strong, and he is nimble, so it's not right for him to stay at home every day.
As a result, when Chu's younger brother went out, his leg was injured. He said that he was trying to save his brother-in-law. No one else saw what happened, and Guo Changren couldn't explain it clearly.
He was collecting snow that day when he heard some noise behind him. Turning around, he saw Chu Shaoqing lying on the ground, hugging his legs and wailing.
Chu Shaoqing said that he saw a piece of snow on the eaves about to fall and hit his brother-in-law, so he kicked it away with his foot and got hurt. There was indeed snow on the ground, but he didn't know which snowflake he kicked away!!!
Because of this, Old Mrs. Chu scolded Mr. Guo for an entire night, and Old Man Chu even slapped him several times. The neighbors no longer dared to give any advice and just hoped that the Chu family would keep quiet.
Thinking of this, everyone who came out felt that helping to pass on the message was already the most they could do. Since the Guo family didn't want to see them, don't blame them for being rude.
The eight people wanted to intimidate Chu An with their momentum, and their expressions suddenly became rich. Some glared, some blew their beards, and some grinned. The leader asked sternly, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I don't know what happened before, but I really just want to ask him something." Chu An sighed, without avoiding the other person's gaze, but restrained his sharpness a little, "If it is really inconvenient for him to see me, you can help me pass a letter."
The eight people looked at each other, surprised that they did not see a trace of cowardice on her face, while the young man next to her had sleepy eyes, as if he could fall asleep while standing.
The leader and the people around him thought about it and decided that it would be okay to just deliver the message, as the letter wouldn't bite anyone.
"Then write it to me when you're done."
Chu An felt that there was a way, so he quickly handed over the letter he had written last night.
The leader was slightly stunned. He was actually already prepared. "You guys go out and wait. Don't stay in the yard."
"Okay," Chu An took Gu Ye back to the car, and this time he didn't see any sneaky figures.
The people in the building left three people to continue watching them, while the leader and the others went in to deliver the letter. After a while, an old lady and a young woman came out of the building.
"This is the old lady of the Chu family. Just tell her if you have anything to say." The leading brother thought he was very smart and that magic must be defeated with magic.
Old Lady Chu looked Chu An up and down. How could such a little girl have 500 kilograms of rice?
Yes, what Chu An wrote in the letter was that some things that Guo Changren had placed in their house were damaged due to heavy rain, so he brought 500 kilograms of rice as compensation.
This is written with deep understanding of human nature. No matter what happened to the Guo family, no one would refuse food during a natural disaster. But the thought that the person who told her to be kind, self-disciplined, self-reliant and brave in pursuing freedom might also become bad makes her feel unhappy.
"Hello, I want to see Uncle Guo Changren, can you ask him to come out for a moment?" Seeing that the person who came was not Guo Changren, but an old lady, she felt inexplicably relieved.
Mrs. Chu put on a fake smile on her face, "It's the same as giving me the rice. I'm his mother, and what's his is mine."
"I'm sorry, but I owe this to Uncle Guo. I have to hand it over to him personally."
"Why are you so stubborn?" My sister-in-law looked into the car. She couldn't see anything through the rear film, but the dump truck at the back was covered with plastic sheeting. Could it be at the back?
As she spoke, she walked to the back of the car, "It doesn't matter who it is given to. Our department is really a relative. Now their whole family depends on us for care."
But just as she was about to lift the plastic sheet, her wrist was grabbed by Gu Ye and thrown away.
"Ouch, it hurts so much." The sister-in-law scolded, "Are you sick? I just took a look. Besides, isn't the rice supposed to be given to us?"
"That's right. Since you said it's for me, then it's mine." He turned around and said to the leader, "Xiao Zhao, find a few people to help me move the rice down and deliver it to our house."
The leader who was called Xiao Zhao lowered the corner of his lips. He didn't expect that the two teenagers came to deliver food. He should have not called this old woman.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to help me? This is 500 kilograms of rice." She glanced at the people around her proudly, "She broke our things and took the initiative to come here to compensate. Whoever helps me move in, I will give 2 taels as a reward."
The people around looked at each other, expressing their doubts about what she said.
"Well, since it's food, let's call Brother Guo out." Brother Zhao wanted to make up for his mistake and unknowingly stood on Chu An's side, "Well, Dachun, go find your Uncle Guo."
"Okay." Dachun was about to go back when his father came out and stopped him. "Don't call him. He hasn't gotten up yet. It's just some rice. Is there any need to look for this and that?"
"If Brother Guo doesn't get up, let Sister Chu come." Brother Zhao was not to be outdone. He had long been fed up with this family: they all had hands and feet but just wouldn't work.
"She hasn't gotten up yet."
Brother Zhao frowned. The Guo brothers were not the type to sleep in, and it was almost eight o'clock anyway.
