After returning to the ice factory, Li Ke quickly put out the Zuo family's supplies as well as other supplies she had collected along the way, filling the warehouse here more and more full than before.
Not long after, Li Ke noticed lights approaching here. She looked outside and saw two trucks driving towards here.
Li Ke took out a telescope and waited until the car stopped outside the ice factory. He saw a man who looked like Xiao Yi getting out of the car with his men. After Li Ke confirmed the identity of the man, he took out a copy of the confession he had collected before and hung it on the gate. He then climbed onto the roof and glided to the outside of the ice factory.
Xiao Yi heard a faint sound, stopped, and waited for a while. When there was no more movement, he ordered his men to stay alert, and then slowly pushed open the warehouse door of the ice factory.
A thin rope was hung on the door, with a brown paper bag hanging on the rope. Xiao Yi touched it tentatively with his gloved hand. When there was nothing unusual, he slowly pinched it. After feeling a stack of papers inside, Xiao Yi pulled the paper bag off and held it in his hand.
Two hours ago, a short arrow shot at his door. A small bag was hung on the arrow, which read: There are supplies in the ice factory warehouse, come quickly.
The words were typed with ink and there was no trace to be found. Xiao Yi's heart was pounding. His men came to report that a suspicious person had entered the building. Later, after discovering that the person might have escaped through the window, Xiao Yi did not send anyone to chase him.
He brought twenty people and went directly to the ice factory in secret. On the way, he suspected that it might be a trap or a prank, but he inexplicably held great hope.
Holding the paper bag and seeing the warehouse full of supplies, Xiao Yi really believed that there must be some extraordinary people and things going on.
"Captain, there are really supplies! Who sent them?" Xiao Yi's men said in surprise.
Xiao Yi said coldly: "Of course we are friends. No one can leak this matter. Arrange our people immediately to secretly transport this batch of materials back to our warehouse."
Li Ke stood on a high place and saw people moving outside the ice factory. After confirming that the supplies were in the hands of the right people, she turned and left. She had to go and search her perfectly decorated three-story home, as all the things she liked were there.
The only person she knew who was in a high position and relatively fair was Xiao Yi. He took away the Zuo family's supplies just to bring them down, not to destroy the balance of the shelter.
This time she really wanted to leave this place and start her journey alone.
In a single room in the shelter, three women sat together on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, with a pile of clothes that needed mending next to them. This was the work they received from the recruitment office. The three of them could barely earn two work points a day.
The current situation is not good, jobs are very scarce and everyone is having a hard time. Fortunately, the shelter provides a free bowl of hot porridge every day, which allows everyone to hold on.
The child was no longer in the room. Thinking about the fact that he passed away a week ago, his health was getting worse and worse. Li Meng and the others had tried very hard, but there was still no way to keep him.
Li Meng only cried from time to time in the first two days, but now she seems to have put away her sadness and is living her life seriously.
Seeing the frostbite on her daughter's hand cracking and bleeding, He Ru said with some distress: "Mengmeng, stop and rest for a while. There is some frostbite medicine in the room. Apply it to warm your hands."
Li Meng shook her head: "It's useless. I can't feel any pain now. It's a waste to apply it."
They all wore fingerless gloves, which made it very difficult for them to do needlework, and Li Meng was really used to frostbite.
Liu Jingyan's hands next to her were also red and swollen, but the better part was that she had no wounds. Among the three of them, He Ru was in the best condition. Although her palms were the roughest, she was not seriously frostbitten.
He Ru recalled the past and said, "Your hands should be like your father's. He said that he often got frostbite when he was a child, but his condition improved when the weather got warmer. After you were born, winters were not as cold as ours, and you were well protected. I thought you were the same as me, but I didn't expect you to be so frozen now."
Li Meng hummed with little interest and continued to do his own thing with his head down. Liu Jingyan asked a few questions to please the audience, which made the atmosphere a little better.
He Ru was silent for a while before she could not help but speak again: "Wang Zhuo has been released from the reform camp and is now living in the lobby of the building next door. I ran into him when I went to get food these two days."
Li Meng opened her eyes and glanced at her mother without saying anything. He Ru took it as a response and continued, "He wanted to come back and said that he would listen to you in the future and do whatever you asked him to do. He would never dare to disobey you again. When he heard that Xiang Xiang was gone, he cried a lot. It seemed like he had really changed for the better. He was quite pitiful."
Liu Jingyan, who was sitting next to her, was sewing with her head down, not saying a word. However, she didn't agree with He Ru's words in her heart. She believed that the prodigal son would return home, which was just a daydream.
And now she is sharing a house with He Ru and Li Meng. If Wang Zhuo comes back, what will she do? It's still very inconvenient for four people to live together.
Li Meng dropped the work in her hands with a cold face and looked up at her mother: "Why? Do you feel sorry for him and want to take care of him?"
He Ru's heart skipped a beat, knowing that her probing had annoyed her daughter, and she hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I saw that he came out and he kept looking for me, and I was afraid... I was afraid that he would come to bother you again. Isn't this discussing with you what to do?"
The last time she helped her daughter go to the law enforcement team to file a complaint, saying that it was Wang Zhuo who first abused Meng Meng, and Meng Meng fought back in self-defense. The law enforcement team deliberately favored Wang Zhuo and sent the injured Wang Zhuo to a reform camp.
At that time, Wang Zhuo's shouting and cursing could be heard all the way, and He Ru wanted this man to die in the reform camp. Unfortunately, because he was wearing thick clothes, the two wounds that Meng Meng stabbed him with were not very deep.
There has been no man in the house for more than two months, and people come from time to time to inquire about their situation and want to live with them. He Ru can see their calculations just by looking at them. These people are not as good as Wang Zhuo in the past.
At that time, they could still find jobs and earn some work points, but now the conditions are so bad that these big men who can eat and drink a lot will eat them first if they enter their homes.
Li Meng replied coldly, "What are you afraid of? I have nothing to do with him now. If he dares to harass me again, I will beat him to death! There is no room for those dirty things in my house. If any of you want to rely on a man, leave here and find one yourself. If you want to stay here, don't even think about those dirty things."
He Ru was furious: "I'm your mother, can't you just talk to me properly!"
Li Meng: "If you weren't my mother, I would have kicked you out long ago."
Liu Jingyan tried to calm them down, saying, "Aunt, Mengmeng has been in a bad mood these past two days. It's already very crowded for the three of us to live together, and if a man with ulterior motives comes along, how can we live? Although there are many people who covet us, as long as the law enforcement team is still there, they dare not break into our house. Let's just get through this. As long as we get through this winter, things will get better. Men nowadays are unreliable, so don't think about it."
He Ru sighed, "I am old now, and I always think too much. I don't know when this winter will end. Since we have to rely on ourselves, now that we know about Wang Zhuo's behavior, we have to be careful of this person when we go out in the future."
Li Meng didn't say anything, Liu Jingyan nodded in agreement: "Auntie is right, we should pay more attention."
Elsewhere, Mo Ze's mother Sun Miao was at Chen Jiaojiao's door again, shouting in a roundabout way: "All you do all day is eat and sleep. Even if my son married a pig, it should have given birth. But you're raising a hen that doesn't lay eggs. It's really ruining my family."
Chen Jiaojiao patted the man lying next to her: "Listen to what your mother said? Why is she so vulgar? I have never seen such an unrefined person in the Mo family!"
Mo Ze was also a little helpless: "My mother has never been so excessive before. It's not that life is hard now, so she is in a bad mood."
