"I'm sorry, kid. It's Auntie who puts pressure on you. Think carefully before you go. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just treat it as a normal thing. I'm just going to pass on a message. Whether it works or not, we can think of other ways."
After that, Wang Li didn’t care about the follow-up matters. After all, she was not a member of the Red Party.
I heard that the city was in chaos these days. Ruffians and even ordinary people who had nothing to eat or drink ran to the streets to smash and loot. Robbery was everywhere. Wang Li thought that it was a good thing that they moved to the village.
The Wang family has been coming back less often recently. After all, they live far away from home and it is not convenient to come back. They sent a message saying that there are home robberies every day in the city, and asked their family to be careful and put safety first.
The villagers were also discussing this. One day, Wang Li went out and heard an old man say, "These Red Party members are not fighting, but surrounding the city. Are they planning to starve the city residents to death? It may be even more chaotic in a while. The villagers should also be careful not to let the hooligans enter the village."
That day Wang Li went to Sanniu's house and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk. Sanniu, be careful at home and don't let anyone in."
"Where are you going, girl?"
Sanniu's wife said, "It's a chaotic time, don't run away."
"It's okay, I think I'll be back in the afternoon," he said and left.
It is estimated that several families are running out of food recently. Wang Li wants to go out for a walk and take out some food from the space. Since she can't go into the city anyway, she just tells them to buy food nearby. They usually believe whatever Wang Li says.
It was past 6 p.m. when Wang Li got home. She looked around outside the door and found no one there, so she unloaded the car. There were three bags of rice, three bags of flour, 20 kilograms of cornmeal, and a bag of potatoes on the car. She didn't dare take more because it would look unsightly if there were too many. So she gave some to each family, which would last them for a while.
Wang Jia has been hiding recently. There are people chasing him everywhere, but his family members don’t know about it.
Let them take all the food back at night.
The next morning, someone knocked on the door. Wang Li felt that it was not someone she knew, so she asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me. We are neighbors. Open the door. Open it quickly. I have something to tell you."
As soon as Wang Li opened the door, the man broke in.
Wang Li was dumbfounded. There was such a person? She ran inside without saying a word.
Wang Li looked at the woman and said, "Sister, if you have something to say, just tell me. Don't come in!"
"Big sister, please lend me some food. I'm out of food. The children have been eating a lot lately, and I've sold all the food I had before. Just lend me half a bag, and I'll pay you back in a few days."
After saying that, he stood at the door without moving, just looking at Wang Li. Wang Li wondered who this person was. She didn't even know him, so why did he come to borrow food?
"That elder sister, my family has no food either."
Before Wang Li could finish, the woman shouted, "How come you don't have any? My daughter has seen it. You gave a lot of food to the two new families. You can't eat that much by yourself. Just lend me some. Just 30 kilograms will do."
Wang Li thought to herself, you are so shameless, it’s still 30 kilograms, why don’t you go and rob it.
"Sister, I borrowed that money from others in the past. Now they are out of food. I used my last bit of money to buy expensive food. Should I pay it back? It is only natural to pay back debts. I owed you food and paid it back. If I have nothing left, I have paid it back to others."
Finally, the woman went home to check and left cursing.
