Chapter 327
Second Uncle Zhong is an honest man. In the last few years of the world, he would occasionally think of his eldest brother and worry about whether his family was doing well.
Later, they hadn't seen each other for several years, and he even discussed with his wife whether his eldest brother and his family were all gone.
However, my second aunt had long seen through the nature of Uncle Zhong's family. They were extremely selfish and only wanted to suck blood from my parents and siblings, but were unwilling to give anything in return.
Therefore, she was thankful countless times that Zhou Shuwan and others helped drive away Uncle Zhong's family. Otherwise, the Zhou family had the powerful Shu Wan, but her own children and his father were both weak in nature, so they could only let Uncle Zhong's family be bullied.
At this moment, I saw Uncle Zhong and his group rushing over and telling them about the misery their family had suffered in the past few years.
Unable to contain herself any longer, she spoke, "Brother, sister-in-law, it's not just you. Life is hard for everyone after the apocalypse! We've all been through it! Look at us now! The houses in the neighborhood have burned down, leaving so many people homeless. The fire is raging, almost burning down the entire old town. We're just grabbing a few supplies and running for our lives! We've been sleeping in the open air and haven't had a full meal in days."
They and Zhou Shuwan's family lived in the two buildings in front and behind, but when they were escaping, they were swept out of the north gate by the panicked crowd. They wanted to go back, but the fire was so fierce that they could only rely on their legs to escape. They could not turn back and could only walk desperately towards the north.
I went all the way to the outskirts of the city and looked up ahead, and saw a huge mountain that had turned black after being burned by fire.
The family discussed it, and Uncle Zhong said, "To the north are endless mountains, not many people. My third and youngest sisters will definitely not come here. We have to go south."
"Then should we find a new resettlement place after entering the city?" My second aunt was worried.
She looked at her son, daughter-in-law, and daughter, all of whom were exhausted and had black faces. "We only brought food and drinks downstairs. It's not safe to sleep outdoors tonight!"
Zhipeng also said, "If acid rain suddenly falls again, we'll be in trouble!"
The family nodded with lingering fear as they thought of the tragic plight of people who had been exposed to acid rain in the past.
Yuxuan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Will my aunt and sister Wanwan be waiting for us in the south of the city?"
The Zhou family’s residence is indeed closest to the South Gate.
Going south, there are new areas and many resettlement sites.
"Okay, then let's go back." Uncle Zhong made the decision.
Not only did they want to go back, but other refugees who had fled to the suburbs and away from the fire area finally came to their senses and realized that there was nowhere to go if they went north, so they turned around and walked around the suburbs towards the new district.
The new district was also the area hardest hit by the tsunami, and many buildings were destroyed.
Uncle Zhong and his friends arrived late again, and several resettlement communities with better conditions were occupied by other people.
The family had no choice but to keep going south. Before they could settle down, they ran into Uncle Zhong and his family who were returning from outside.
Seeing Second Aunt's blunt words, Uncle Zhong once again put on his usual patriarchal airs: "Xinjin, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're still so irritable! After the apocalypse, you lived in the Tiyun family's house, so you didn't suffer much from the hardships of wandering around, did you? You're much better off than us! Your nephews and nieces suffered a lot with us!"
Que Xinjin gritted his teeth, glanced at Uncle Zhong's family, and then asked, "I was just about to ask, why are there only a few of you? Where's Xingyu?"
My uncle's family all changed their expressions.
After a while, my aunt Ding Yanhua forced a smile and said, "She's already married, why would she still follow us? Of course, she should follow her husband's family!"
Que Xinjin frowned slightly.
Yuxuan is a few years younger than Xingyu, but she is also at the age to get married. However, she has examined all the boys of the right age in the community, but none of them is suitable.
It’s either that the boy himself is not talented, or that his parents are not talented enough.
The old neighborhood itself had a lot of population outflow, and not many people returned after the apocalypse. So there weren't many suitable candidates.
She envied the Zhou family for being close to the water and getting the moon first. Zhong Tiyun took the initiative to snatch a neighbor who was a talented man as her son-in-law. His ability, skills, personality and appearance were impeccable, and he was even better than her own son.
Although she wanted to find someone like this for Yuxuan, she couldn't find one because of her daughter's gentle and introverted personality.
She loved her daughter very much and had already discussed with her father that if they did not live together like the Zhou and Qi families, she would rather not marry her daughter off and would bring her daughter with her wherever she went.
The world is in chaos, and the status of women has changed, and they are also considered a kind of material.
What if you don't judge people well and marry your daughter off, but the other family turns out to be bastards, sending your daughter away to earn supplies or suffer other humiliations? That would be the end of her life!
Aren’t there many cases in the community where the whole family, including the husband, withholds food from the daughter-in-law because she is weak and her family is not around?
There are even people who send their own daughters out to earn money for sleeping!
Que Xinjin doesn't dare to gamble!
But she didn't expect that Xingyu would get married so soon.
My eldest sister-in-law Ding Yanhua used to love her children, so why did she rush to get married? Now that she has fled, she doesn’t even bring her daughter with her. Does she really trust her daughter’s husband’s family?
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but Uncle Zhong impatiently changed the subject: "A daughter once married is like spilled water! Let's not talk about Xingyu anymore. Baojun, what are your plans now? Since the community is on fire and uninhabitable, where are you going now?"
He glanced at Uncle Zhong's family with sharp eyes, wondering where his younger sister's family had gone.
He didn't know that Aunt Zhong San and her family also lived in Dongyuan Community.
Uncle Zhong sighed, "We're also looking for a place, but because of the recent fire, there are so many people fleeing, and the resettlement sites are all packed."
Zhong Qinghui then asked what was on his parents' minds: "Uncle, what about my aunt's family? Why aren't you all together?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, "How can we care about each other? We got separated and haven't seen each other for a few days. I don't know how Tiyun and my brother-in-law are doing!"
Uncle Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry too much. Wanwan is a very ambitious child. She would never let her parents suffer!"
Uncle Zhong frowned: "Brother, you still say such things! No matter how capable Wanwan is, she is still a girl. She is fleeing outside, and there is no telling what dangers she will encounter!"
Zhong Qinghui snorted coldly: "What's dangerous or not? Wanwan has practiced, who can bully her! My aunt and uncle are also very powerful, there is no need to worry at all."
Uncle Zhong glanced at him. There were some things he couldn't say directly to his eldest brother, but he could still talk about his nephew. He glanced at the two children who were timidly following their mother and said, "Qinghui, why are your two children so thin?"
