Lately, I don't know what's wrong with my younger brother, he's been acting strangely every day.
When asked what was wrong, he wouldn't say. After eating, he would hide in his room and close the doors and windows.
Because of my grandfather's illness, I had to stay home to take care of my family.
I'm exhausted every day, but I have no choice. I have to support this family, since my parents are no longer here.
I'm very worried about my younger brother. I've asked him several times what he's doing and what's wrong, but he won't say. I don't know what to do, after all, he's grown up now.
Add to that Grandpa's medical expenses, and our family simply can't afford it now. We live in constant fear that we'll run out of money.
They were kicked out of the hospital.
After some time, just when everyone was about to give up, the younger brother actually pulled out a sum of money, which surprised us all. Where did he get the money from?
I'm afraid he might go astray, or that the money he got was ill-gotten.
We didn't dare use it. That night, I called San San into my room and interrogated him until midnight. He finally confessed that he had been making some tools for others recently.
I know he can make tools, and they're all rather strange things. But what kind of tools can make so much money all at once, and why is he so secretive about it, only revealing them when I press him?
I know this is not a simple matter, but no matter how I try to get him to talk about it, he won't say anything, and I'm at my wit's end.
I could only let nature take its course, and in the end I also asked my younger brother if the money was necessarily obtained legitimately.
After he assured me that the source was legitimate, I felt relieved. I thought I'd leave it at that; the most important thing right now was my grandfather's illness. Let's treat him first, and we can deal with the rest later.
After some time, the younger brother took out another large sum of money, which surprised everyone even more. What kind of job did he take that could earn so much money at once?
I found out later.
The end times are coming. At first, I didn't understand the word "end times." In the past, such words only appeared in prophecies. However, all the prophecies and predictions about the end times in society were eventually proven to be false.
But now that the apocalypse has really come, San San has also taken the initiative to explain to everyone why such a sum of money was deposited into the account before.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, everyone secretly guessed that this person must be extraordinary, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to perfectly predict the apocalypse and would have thought of stockpiling weapons in advance.
Later, San San started working for this person, and he would pay them with food and other things.
Our family was able to survive normally in the apocalypse because of this, and we are all very grateful to each other.
Later, I finally met this legendary good person.
Completely different from what I had imagined in private, she was simply a petite and delicate girl.
While not exactly gentle and sweet in speech, she is certainly well-mannered and knowledgeable.
Moreover, she likes to laugh and often talks happily with her family, even when she asks us to make various dishes for her.
She is also very polite, and you can tell from the fact that she always gives us more food than we need; she is definitely a generous person.
I don't know where she got these vegetables and grains from.
We were all incredibly curious about it, but San San wouldn't let us ask or even mention it.
Thinking about it, I know that this is a question we shouldn't ask. If we did, our family's food supply would definitely be cut off.
In this apocalyptic world, everyone will eliminate all potential threats to ensure their own safety.
My husband also told me privately that if I'm helping him with chores at his house, I have to keep my mouth shut. I can't talk about his family matters or ask him questions, because that will annoy him.
I agreed because I felt my husband was right; we really couldn't do that. Besides, we all depend on each other for a living now, so we definitely couldn't afford to offend anyone.
However, the more I got to know her, the more I realized that she was actually a very good person, really very good. Although she sometimes spoke very bluntly, coldly, and sternly, every aspect of her life showed that she was a warm person. She was just not good at expressing herself sometimes, or she might have been a little guarded inside.
This vigilance is like a thin, small animal that doesn't trust outsiders or the outside world, and thus adds a protective layer to itself.
...
And so, with their help, our family safely survived the apocalypse, day after day.
Later, we were actually able to get her protection, and she set up a base.
It included us all.
Our family is very grateful to each other, and we always think that we can't be lazy and have to work hard to repay each other.
But no matter how much work we do, we can't repay her, because she has given us so much.
...
I'm finally pregnant.
When I first learned that my sister was pregnant, I was so disappointed. Why hadn't I gotten pregnant after being married for so long?
Even though I was born in the apocalypse and it's uncertain whether I can raise the child, I really love children, I really love them.
However, I later changed my mind because my sister suffered a miscarriage.
My heart aches terribly; she was my precious little sister!
From then on, I became very careful and dared not mention pregnancy and childbirth in front of her, for fear that she would overthink it and I would be unable to extricate myself from the sadness.
I know she's very sad. Even though she usually acts like she's fine and it's all over, I still know she's really upset.
I saw her a few times during that time; she was hiding in the back mountain, crying alone, unable to breathe.
I didn't go over to comfort her, because I knew she needed to cry out all the grief in her heart so that the wounds in her heart could heal.
This incident actually had a certain impact on me, and I suddenly felt extremely fortunate that I wasn't pregnant.
It's been a long time since we've encountered any monsters in this post-apocalyptic world.
Even the temperature returned to normal, so everyone decided to move down the mountain to live, because there were large areas of farmland down there that they could cultivate, instead of being stuck in such a small place on the mountain.
Life down the mountain was wonderful; we girls ate, drank, and did farm work every day.
Time flies.
She was also pregnant, and she gave birth to twins. I went to see the babies when they were born.
Despite being twins, both children are very good-looking.
Moreover, she is instantly likable, perhaps because people have a natural affinity for her and think her children are also very good.
I could tell that we all really loved her two children. Whenever we had a spare moment, we'd all get together and help take care of them.
The two children are very sensible and are becoming more and more clever as they grow up.
My child is growing up, and Li De and I have finally survived the apocalypse.
Moreover, our little family is getting better and better, all thanks to meeting the best woman—Feng Ran.
