Chen Niansheng never thought that he would be able to see his wife and daughter in his lifetime. In his heart, he really thought that the mother and daughter had died abroad.

Ever since their supplies were stolen, the shelter in City N had gone through several changes, and in the end, everyone left, and only he and his sister were left struggling to survive. Their lives could be said to be miserable!

Now seeing his wife and daughter appear before him alive and well, without much change in their appearance, Chen Niansheng was naturally very excited and surprised.

Of course Chen Ziyue was also very happy. It was because she and her brother had been forcing themselves to work every day. Now that their sister-in-law and niece had appeared and they looked good, they thought they could relax a little in the future.

Compared to the joy of these two people, Li Zhenzhen behaved a little politely and distantly. Chen Jiaojiao also cried for a while, but soon she just listened to her father reciting excitedly.

Li Zhenzhen found a one-bedroom apartment for the two of them to live in. Although it was not particularly spacious, it was a world of difference compared to the large dormitory with dormitories where they had lived before.

Chen Niansheng and Chen Ziyue happily asked for leave, and then followed Li Zhenzhen and her daughter. When they saw the one-bedroom apartment, the smiles on their faces did not fade.

As he watched, Chen Ziyue's face changed color, and Chen Niansheng slowly came to his senses. The house looked empty, with no traces of his wife and daughter's daily necessities.

Chen Niansheng stood in the room and asked in confusion, "Zhenzhen, where do you live? Is the place too small for four people to live in?"

Chen Ziyue was tired from walking, so she found a small chair, leaned against the wall and slowly sat down. Although the smile on her face had faded a lot, her expression was still gentle.

Chen Jiaojiao had no idea. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of what to do. Judging from her mother's intention, she had never thought of bringing her father and aunt to live in the central area.

Chen Jiaojiao didn't want to do that either. If her father and the others were still as healthy as they were five or six years ago, Chen Jiaojiao thought there was nothing wrong with living together.

But now, they are just two old people with hunchbacks, whose legs hurt if they walk too much. If they really go to the central area, they will definitely need someone to take care of them.

Given her mother's cautious demeanor, she would definitely not hire anyone, so the task of taking care of these two people would definitely fall on herself, and Chen Jiaojiao was extremely unwilling to do that.

Ever since Mo Baoer was kidnapped last time, Chen Jiaojiao came back. Although she lived in the central area with her mother, she could no longer reestablish her previous relationships and find a decent job for herself.

The Mo family said that if she really wanted to do something, she would have to go to other districts to find it herself. When Chen Jiaojiao heard this, she naturally would not go out and bring trouble upon herself.

Li Zhenzhen told Jiaojiao: "Don't just stand there, bring a chair over for your dad and let him sit down too."

The house was really small and there were only two old chairs. Chen Ziyue and Chen Niansheng sat down, so the mother and daughter had to stand.

The four of them came to the bedroom again and sat down again. Chen Niansheng and Li Zhenzhen sat on the edge of the bed together, and Chen Ziyue and Chen Jiaojiao, the aunt and nephew, sat on chairs.

"We don't live here, we live in another district. At the moment, given Jiaojiao's and my conditions, we can only arrange you to live in a place like this. It's really unfair to you." Li Zhenzhen said to Chen Niansheng apologetically.

Chen Niansheng had suffered a lot, and he would be very happy if his life could be a little better. He didn't know how Li Zhenzhen and her daughter lived.

Thinking of the two of them now living together, he said very considerately: "How are you doing in the other district? We are very satisfied to have such a place to live now, but I feel bad for dragging you and your daughter down."

After he finished speaking, Chen Niansheng wanted to hold his wife's hand, but Li Zhenzhen turned sideways and suddenly told Chen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, go to the supply department to exchange some daily necessities for your father and aunt. We need to build another small bed in the living room, and prepare a set of things for boiling water and cooking. Go and prepare them first. If it's not enough, we'll find a way."

Chen Jiaojiao stood up very sensibly: "I'll go check it out, you guys sit down and talk first."

She was also feeling uncomfortable sitting here and didn't know what to say. Now that her mother had taken her out, Chen Jiaojiao naturally wanted more than anything else.

When there were only three people left, the atmosphere became even more silent. What else did Chen Niansheng not understand at this point? Zhenzhen was obviously avoiding him just now.

Li Zhenzhen's eyes slowly filled with tears. She turned her head and asked Chen Niansheng, "Did your family look for us three people?"

Chen Niansheng was stunned for a moment. He thought they would never come back. Later, the shelter said they could use radio to search for people. He also compiled a list and wanted to look for them, but then Zheng Fang became pregnant.

He was so happy about the good news, but he also had to find a way to do his mother's work, so he put the matter of finding the person aside for a while.

Li Zhenzhen saw Chen Niansheng's expression and realized that there was something he didn't understand. This made her feel more confident.

Chen Ziyue said, "Why didn't we look for you? It's just that the communication was cut off at the beginning. You were all abroad at the time, so we couldn't find you even if we wanted to. Later, our family went to a shelter with great difficulty and tried to find out about you, but you know how chaotic the situation is, so naturally we couldn't get any information from you.

We also heard that the tsunami in other countries was much more serious than that in our country. After we found you, we naturally thought that you were gone. You don’t know that during that period, your family members cried when they thought of you. "

Later, Chen Ziyue also wiped away her tears. She calmed down a little and asked, "Come to think of it, I still don't know how your sister-in-law and the children came back? If we had known that you had returned, our family would have been reunited earlier."

Li Zhenzhen nodded slightly. "Life is difficult. We were almost dying overseas before we asked for help from others and returned to China on a plane with our compatriots. When the radio was first connected, I asked Qiqi to put your names up in the hope of finding you, but unfortunately there was no news at all. Later, the radio was disconnected again, and we moved several times. Qiqi also disappeared later, so we had to make a living on our own."

In fact, she was the only one who sorted out the names, and only Chen Niansheng reported it. However, so much time has passed, and Li Zhenzhen was sure that these two people would not verify such a thing again.

After all, the other party's behavior was even worse than that of the mother and her two children. They didn't even look for them and just thought they were gone.

As for what Chen Ziyue said later to make excuses, Li Zhenzhen didn't believe it. She only needed to look at Chen Niansheng's expression to roughly understand what was going on.

The three of them talked about how they had lived in the past, either truthfully or falsely. Chen Niansheng and the others naturally concealed their past with Zheng Fang. Li Zhenzhen also only picked out some things that were easy to find out here and told them the two of them.

"Qiqi was injured, and later he got an infection that caused him to become unable to speak anymore. People at his workplace bullied him because of this. Jiaojiao and I, two women, were unable to help him. Later, a captain named Gao came to our aid. When Qiqi disappeared, he was busy helping out. I was sick thanks to his care." Li Zhenzhen said slowly with a gloomy expression.

When Chen Niansheng heard this, he asked in astonishment, "So you two are together?"

Li Zhenzhen burst into tears. She turned her head and faced Chen Niansheng, sobbing, "During that time, I was in so much pain every day. My dreams were filled with images of Qiqi getting into trouble. He took good care of me, and I was counting on him to help me find my son, so I interacted with him more. I thought he was a good man, but who knew that he took me away just two days after I recovered..."

There was some truth in what Li Zhenzhen said. She was indeed unwilling to hand herself over to Gao Ren at first, but Gao Ren showed his tough side and Li Zhenzhen had many handles on him, so after weighing the pros and cons, she gave in.
