Chapter 31: Crisis in the City



After careful consideration, Yue Yue finally decided to tell Liu Lili and others what those second-generation rich people said, hoping that they could prepare a response plan as soon as possible.

After listening to Yue Yue's description, Liu Lili knew that this matter was serious, so she planned to call her grandfather the next time she went to town and explain the situation in detail.

Although the Zhou family and the Tian family have joined forces, their strength is still far inferior to her family. If they really want to take action against her, they must weigh the pros and cons carefully.

However, Zhou Jiabao and the others didn't seem to know her. It was no wonder. She had been studying hard according to the family's training since she was a child. They were not in the same compound, so naturally they were not familiar with each other.

If her father had not mentioned that they were bullying the orphans of martyrs, she would not have known that they could be so disgusting.

Their father taught them to respect the martyrs, be good to their sons and daughters, and not do the ungrateful things that they did.

In the past few days, they have been staying in the house and have not gone out. After all, the weather is really freezing cold.

Many villagers were unwilling to attend the literacy classes, so the team leader placed several braziers in the classroom.

As a result, in order to save firewood at home, the villagers' enthusiasm for attending literacy classes has increased significantly.

Seeing this situation, the team leader felt very happy, because the higher everyone's enthusiasm for learning, the more knowledge they would learn, and he no longer had to worry about being criticized by the secretary.

Then, following the captain's order, everyone began to prepare to go into the city to purchase food.

This is the last chance to go to the town to buy food this year, because the snow has been accumulating more and more recently, and the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow soon.

Everyone looked at the remaining food in their hands, but still felt that it was not enough. They could not sit and wait for death. Only when they had enough food in their hands could they feel at ease.

As a result, this large-scale trip to the town to purchase food took place.

Due to heavy snow, the ox carts could not carry people. The team leader and the ox officer carefully drove the ox carts in front to lead the way. They were responsible for bringing back a large cart of food.

The others could only follow the ox cart on foot. Fortunately, there were many of them and they could chat with each other to relieve boredom, so they didn't feel too cold.

"Hey, do you think the food we have can last until next year?" a villager couldn't help but worry.

"It should be fine. We still have cabbage and wild vegetables!" another person answered optimistically.

"But I always feel uneasy..." someone muttered softly.

"Don't worry, wait until the snow melts and then we'll go dig some wild vegetables. We'll be able to get through this." Someone else comforted.

Everyone was chatting with each other. Although they were full of worries about the future, at this moment, they could feel the warmth and care between each other.

The crowd followed the tracks left by the ox cart, stepping deep and shallow in the footprints of the people in front of them, and slowly moved towards the town.

It usually only takes two hours to get there, but today it took a full three hours to reach the destination.

After arriving in the town, everyone shook off the thick snow on their bodies, then dispersed and went to purchase the items they needed.

From afar, the supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people and extremely lively, as if it was about to burst.

It seems that the people in the town are also afraid of food shortages, and everyone is actively buying food to prepare for winter.

Many people, after witnessing this spectacular sight, had no choice but to give up and turn to the black market to find what they needed.

Although prices on the black market are high, at least some goods can be snatched up, and the management of the black market has become increasingly strict recently.

Yue Yue and Liu Lili separated from the others and went to the telephone booth next to the newspapers together.

Liu Lili called her grandfather to tell him that the Zhou and Tian families were trying to murder them.

When Liu Lili's grandfather heard his granddaughter's crying on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but become furious and filled with anger.

Those second-generation rich kids are very famous in their area. Not only are their families rich and powerful, but they also often bully the weak and take advantage of their power.

But her grandfather told her not to be afraid. Although these second-generation rich people are powerful, he is not a pushover either.

Although I am old, I am still a commander after all, and I will definitely help my granddaughter get rid of this anger.

While comforting his granddaughter, he had already started thinking about how to teach those who bullied her a lesson.

Just then, an anonymous letter was delivered to the military district office, which described in detail the acts of these companies in appropriating other people's property.

After reading the letter, the grandfather was immediately furious and thought to himself: "How dare these guys be so arrogant and bully my precious granddaughter?"

So he quickly intercepted the letter of complaint and planned to handle the matter personally.

At the same time, Liu Lili and Yue Yue hung up the phone and decided to go together to find Li Xin and Li Rui, who were still buying food.

However, when the two walked into an alley, they suddenly felt a strange breath.

Yue Yue stopped vigilantly, pretended to squat down to tie her shoelaces, and took the opportunity to look back.

Sure enough, she found that there were a few gangsters following them stealthily not far behind them.

Just when the two were feeling nervous, suddenly, a group of burly, serious-looking men appeared from behind.

They quickly rushed forward and beat up the thugs.

Those thugs had no power to fight back and were instantly beaten to a bloody mess, screaming in pain.

Seeing this scene, Liu Lili couldn't help but widen her eyes and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Yue Yue quickly took Liu Lili's hand and whispered, "Let's go! I wonder if anyone else is going to attack us."
