"Wait for your uncle to speak, then suggest to him that other citizens go together. These are difficult times, and only by working together can we overcome them."
It wasn't that he didn't want to contribute anything to help, but his limited resources, combined with the surrounding space, were far from sufficient.
That's hundreds of thousands of people, not just a few dozen.
How could the armed police detachment and the police station possibly survive with just a few people?
Only with a large number of people can more supplies be brought back, allowing more people to survive.
"·····"
Fang Yuan remained silent.
She can't support hundreds of thousands of people either.
"Okay!" Fang Chengjun nodded.
However, when supplies were distributed again before the Spring Festival, it was found that only 200,000 people were still alive.
They went to inspect the homes of the dead.
We haven't finished our food supplies, mainly because it's too cold and we don't have enough things to keep warm.
The room was like an icebox; many people died in their sleep in their blankets.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Grandma Fang, for some reason, went to the kitchen after breakfast.
I saw fresh vegetables like cabbage, cucumber, eggplant, and peppers in the kitchen.
She asked, "Little Stone, how come these vegetables are so fresh? Where did they come from?"
"Mr. Fang gave it to me, I didn't know anything about it." Shi Jianguo, who was standing to the side, spoke the truth.
He was only responsible for cooking; he didn't care where the ingredients came from or how they were obtained.
"I see!" Grandma Fang nodded, then turned and found Fang Qinghe.
She pulled the person into an empty room and whispered, "Where did you get these fresh vegetables?"
"Mom, why are you asking this? Someone gave it to me." Fang Qinghe's expression froze for a moment, then he replied with a smile.
But he was a little curious as to why his mother suddenly asked about this.
"Tell me honestly, did Yuanyuan give it to you?" Grandma Fang asked seriously.
"ah?"
Fang Qinghe was dumbfounded.
What did his mother discover?
No, that little jade pagoda was given to Fang Yuan by her mother; she should have known something about it long ago.
"Don't try to fool me, I had a dream last night!" Grandma Fang said to Fang Qinghe, word by word.
"Mom, did you have a nightmare?"
Fang Qinghe's heart skipped a beat.
His mother had a dream too? What did she dream about?
"I dreamt that I froze to death, and then somehow, I possessed Cao Can's body and saw many things..."
She only realized after waking up and thinking back that her family's heirloom tower was actually a treasure with a spatial dimension.
No wonder our ancestors were able to leave behind so many things.
Cao Can killed her Yuanyuan in her dream and took away her spatial ability. She was furious.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything in her dream, and watching her do bad things made her furious.
"Mom, you know everything? Then don't tell anyone, or Yuanyuan won't be able to survive," Fang Qinghe said in a low voice.
"Is it really open? There's a lot of space inside, and there are things inside?" Grandma Fang said excitedly.
It turns out that what happened in her dream was real. This time, it was her Yuanyuan who got the treasure back and prevented Cao Can from stealing it.
"Yes, most of my savings are in there," Fang Qinghe nodded in reply.
"Alright, alright, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this, and your older brother and the others shouldn't either," Grandma Fang instructed.
The reason this family treasure has been passed down to this day is that only one person in each generation knows the secret: the jade pendant will choose its own owner.
"I know," Fang Qinghe nodded.
He never revealed it before; if you hadn't found out by accident, he could have kept it a secret for his entire life.
"Okay, then I'll have your older brother and the others come over for dinner. It's time for them to have their New Year's Eve dinner at your house this year," Grandma Fang said.
She didn't care about her son's status; what mattered to her was the continuation of the Fang family line.
So even if the eldest daughter is a high-ranking official, she will still spend the Lunar New Year with the third daughter this year.
"Mom, you must be mistaken. Shouldn't we be going to my second brother's house for the New Year's Eve dinner this year?" Fang Qinghe asked with a forced smile.
He knew that Grandma Fang insisted on spending the New Year at his house because of Fang Yuan.
Grandma Fang slapped him: "What do you mean 'your second brother's family'? We're all staying at your house this year, so let's celebrate the New Year at your house. I'll have your dad call them all over."
Soon, Grandpa Fang was sent by Grandma Fang to call their sons over for the New Year's Eve dinner.
After Fang Qinghe sent him things several times, Fang Haiyan finally came to terms with it.
Anyway, having too many lice doesn't make you itch, and having too much debt doesn't make you worry.
If he can get through this hurdle smoothly, he will repay it double in the future.
As soon as Grandpa Fang called, he came over without hesitation with his son, since his family didn't have much good food.
Not long after, Fang Shengping and his family of three also arrived.
With the exception of her eldest granddaughter who had married out, the whole family was gathered together, and Grandma Fang was in a very good mood.
She even helped Shi Jianguo cook two dishes.
However, Li Xueqin arrived before dinner.
What are you doing here?
Upon seeing Li Xueqin, Grandma Fang's face immediately darkened.
That bitch harmed her granddaughter, almost causing the Fang family's inheritance to fall into the hands of outsiders.
Now, whenever she sees her, she feels like grabbing a knife.
"Mom~"
"Don't call me Mom. I'm not your mom, and I don't deserve to be called Mom by you!"
Grandma Fang didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I wanted to come see you, but my mom was worried and came along," Fang Qing quickly said.
She couldn't stay at her uncle's house any longer, and neither could her mother, so she decided to come back.
Unexpectedly, no one was home, so she had to bring her mother with her to come over.
“I’ll reluctantly acknowledge you as my granddaughter, but not your mother. She’s already planning to divorce her second son, so she’s an outsider. Get out of here right now.”
Grandma Fang looked at Li Xueqin and said without any politeness.
"Grandma, my mom and dad aren't divorced yet, so how can they be outsiders?" Fang Qing asked anxiously.
"Didn't you already know what she did last time? My Fang family can't tolerate a daughter-in-law like that. Even if we're not divorced, it's useless. I don't acknowledge her!"
"Mom, I really know I was wrong, please let me come back!" Li Xueqin pleaded, humbling herself.
As she spoke, she called out inside, "Fang Haiyan~ We've been husband and wife for so many years, don't you have any mercy for us?"
"Stop talking nonsense. My son listens to me. I advise you to leave now, or it won't look good if I chase you away!" Grandma Fang retorted directly.
Hmph! Didn't you decide before you left that my Fang family couldn't do anything to you?
You think you can come back just because you've lost your backer? Dream on.
"Fine, I'll leave, I'll leave!"
Seeing that Fang Haiyan didn't say a word, Li Xuemei had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave for the sake of her last bit of dignity.
"Mom~"
Fang Qing was about to follow, but Li Xueqin stopped her.
She hissed in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what I said before? You stay here!"
After Li Xueqin finished speaking, she turned around and left the Fang family with difficulty.
