Chapter 12: Work hard to repay in this life!
"Lu Xingtang, are you home?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little anxious: "Could you please knock on the door of 1903? My dad is home alone. He has a heart disease. He has run out of heart disease medicine and there is nothing to eat at home. I haven't been able to contact him all night. I wonder how he is now? Please help me check. I will probably be back in the afternoon. Tell him to wait for me!"
In 1903, there lived an 80-year-old man who suffered from heart disease and high blood pressure.
The person who called her was the old man’s son, Su Cheng, a respected policeman who worked at the police station.
When the end of the world came in her previous life, her house was occupied by the three members of the Song family. She was morally kidnapped and went out to look for supplies every day. She was in danger of her life several times and was almost harmed by others. It was Su Cheng who saved her.
"Wait a moment!" Lu Xingtang put down the assault boat and went to knock on the door of 1903.
I knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
Lu Xingtang said to Su Cheng: "No one opened the door."
"Pry the door open!" Su Cheng said decisively, "Please, pry the door open and take a look!" Su Cheng had called many relatives and friends, but none of them wanted to brave the severe storm to come to Sunshine Community to help look after his father. It just so happened that when he did the census, he had left Lu Xingtang's contact information, so he called Lu Xingtang. When he made this call, Su Cheng had no hope, "I'll try to come back as soon as possible!"
Lu Xingtang nodded, turned around and went back home, took out the tools for prying the door from the space, and returned to 1903.
It wasn't that she didn't want to take out the tools at 1903's door, but 1904's whole family was at home and they would definitely peek and eavesdrop through the peephole.
When Lu Xingtang was stocking up on supplies, he knew there would be a day where prying tools could be bought for free, so he prepared a lot of prying tools.
After a few minutes, Lu Xingtang pried open the door of Room 1903. "I've opened the door!" He closed the door and went in to look for Su Cheng's adoptive father, Su Hao. "Grandpa Su?"
Seeing that Su Hao was not in the living room, Lu Xingtang pushed open the bedroom door to look for him. Not seeing him in the master bedroom or the side bedroom, he went to the smallest bedroom and found Su Hao. He saw Su Hao lying quietly on the bed, covered with a very thick quilt, and his head was covered by the lid. Lu Xingtang immediately rushed over, opened the quilt, and saw Su Hao's pale eyes with his eyes tightly closed.
"Lu Xingtang? How is my father? Is he still alive?" Su Cheng asked anxiously.
Lu Xingtang sniffed his breath and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, he's still alive!" Then he pushed Su Hao's shoulder: "Grandpa Su? Grandpa Su..." After calling for a long time, Su Hao finally opened his eyes. It took him a while to see Lu Xingtang's face clearly: "Xingtang! Why are you here?"
"Su Cheng, did you hear that? Your father is fine!" Lu Xingtang put down his phone, lifted a corner of the quilt, found Su Hao's hand, and took Su Hao's pulse: "Su Cheng, Grandpa Su's spleen and stomach are weak. He must be hungry."
Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not at home, so he had to ask: "Lu Xingtang, do you have any food at home? Can you give my dad a bite? When I come back, I will pay you back double!"
"I cooked millet porridge this morning and there's a bowl left. I'll give it to him first. Please come back soon!" Lu Xingtang agreed readily.
Once, she really couldn't find any supplies and returned home empty-handed. As a result, she was kicked out of the house by the three members of the Song family that night and was not given any food or water. It was Su Hao who, leaning on a cane, gave her a sweet potato and a coat to keep her warm. Without that coat, even if she didn't freeze to death, she would have gotten sick!
But she never had the chance to repay Su Hao's kindness, because not long after, Su Hao died of a virus outbreak.
Su Cheng thanked Lu Xingtang repeatedly, "Lu Xingtang, I didn't make any promises to you. I will find a way to get out and go home right now. I will definitely give you lots of food as a reward! If you need me in the future, I will help you even if it costs my life!"
Lu Xingtang trusts Su Cheng's character. In her previous life, the Sunshine Community collapsed in an earthquake, and it was Su Cheng who pulled her out of the rubble.
The life-saving grace cannot be offset by a bowl of porridge. She owed Su Cheng in her previous life, and she will work hard to repay him in this life!
Lu Xingtang asked Su Hao to talk to Su Cheng while she returned home to bring Su Hao a bowl of porridge. However, just as the porridge reached the door of Room 1904, the door suddenly opened. A man with shifty eyes stared at the bowl of porridge in Lu Xingtang's hand and said, "Girl, you are a beautiful and kind girl. We have two elderly people who have been hungry for several days and we have no food at home. Can you give this bowl of porridge to my parents?"
Lu Xingtang ignored the man and walked towards 1903.
Wu Ge refused to let Lu Xingtang pass. He rushed over and blocked her way. "Beautiful lady, there are two elderly people in my family. You should have seen them sitting in the hallway when you go up and down the elevator. They are my parents! They are no younger than Grandpa Su. Please, for the sake of our two elderly people, give them this bowl of porridge, okay?"
"Get out of the way!" She didn't want to provoke the 1904 family, but if they were shameless, then don't blame her for being ruthless!
"Beauty, you are so heartless. We are all old people. Why did you give 1903 to us but not 1904 to us? You are so unsympathetic!" Wu Ge was furious, but his eyes were fixed on the bowl in Lu Xingtang's hand.
Lu Xingtang chuckled. "There are eight people in your Wu family. Aside from the two elderly people, the remaining six are all young and strong. You almost starved them to death. You are truly filial!" As he spoke, Lu Xingtang pulled out a nail gun from his pocket and pointed it at Wu Ge: "Say what you just said again!"
Wu Ge: "!!! Beautiful...beautiful girl, I was wrong, I don't want it anymore, my parents are in good health, there's food at home, I'm going home now, home!"
Before Wu Ge could finish his words, he ran back home, fearing that he would be killed by Lu Xingtang if he was a step slower.
Lu Xingtang walked to the door of 1904, pointed the nail gun at the peephole, and shattered it with a bang. Then he kicked it with gravity: "Don't mess with me, and don't mess with 1903! Otherwise, I'll send you to see the King of Hell!"
The moment he turned around, another shot was fired, scaring the Wu family so much that they held their breath and glared at Wu Ge angrily. Wu Ge didn't expect that Lu Xingtang had a gun in her hand. If he knew, he wouldn't have caused trouble for her!
Lu Xingtang put away the nail gun and went to 1903. After feeding Su Hao a bowl of hot porridge, he asked Su Hao to take good care of himself and wait for Su Cheng to come home.
After repairing the door of 1903, Lu Xingtang returned home, washed the dishes, and then picked up the speedboat and left.
If she goes too late, not all of the Song Group's supplies may fall into her hands.
When Lu Xingtang came downstairs carrying the assault boat, many people looked at her secretly. It was the fourth day after the apocalypse. Their family had not run out of food, but it was impossible to have enough to eat. Seeing Lu Xingtang carrying the assault boat, their eyes lit up: "Miss, can you lend me your assault boat? I'm willing to pay two thousand yuan!"
"I'm willing to pay three thousand!"
"I'll give you five thousand!"
"I'll give you ten thousand!"
