Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

Chapter 143: Grandma Quan’s Visit



The snow has not stopped since it first fell five days ago, and there is already a thick layer of snow outside. While Yao Ran was observing the situation outside, there was a knocking sound on the metal door blocking the stairs.

It was still early, and everyone was still sleeping. With nothing to do, Yao Ran decided to go out and take a look.

Seeing that it was Grandma Quan, she said, "Grandma Quan, why did you come out in such cold weather?"

Grandma Quan smiled and said, "I'm here to thank you. Miss Yao, you are the benefactor of our family."

Yao Ran didn't know why Grandma Quan suddenly said this and shook her head, "Grandma Quan, I didn't do anything for you."

Grandma Quan brought some canned food and said, "Miss Yao, you are wrong. If not for your ginger tea, my husband and I would not be alive today. This is just a small gesture from us. Please don't dislike it."

Yao Ran looked at the canned food. One can weigh about three hundred to four hundred grams and could feed the whole family for one meal. Knowing how precious food was now, she couldn't accept Grandma Quan's gift.

"Grandma Quan, I can't accept your food, but I will accept your feelings. The water has frozen, and most of the supplies can no longer be salvaged. You should keep the food for your family." Yao Ran said while pushing the canned food back into Grandma Quan's hand.

Grandma Quan pushed the canned food back to her and said, "My husband and grandson have agreed, so you can accept this with peace of mind."

Seeing that Grandma Quan still insisted that she accept the food, Yao Ran was helpless. She only took the smallest one and changed the subject.

"Grandma Quan, you are not just here to thank me, right? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Listening to her question, Grandma Quan sighed and said worriedly, "Miss Yao, I feel like something is going to happen in this community."

Grandma Quan's words aroused Yao Ran's interest, and she asked curiously, "Grandma Quan, what do you mean by this?"

Grandma Quan explained, "In the past few days, Lu Hong brought his people to pry open several houses in our building and took away food, clothes, bedding, and wooden furniture." Yao Ran learned about this from Quan Yuanwei before and said, "I learned from your grandson that Lu Hong only broke open those houses in which the owners were all dead. Is there anything wrong with him doing this?"

Grandma Quan also knew that Lu Hong's approach was not wrong when no more supplies could be found nearby. In any case, the living must live even if they need to steal from the dead. Unfortunately, Lu Hong is not a good person.

Grandma Quan shook her head and said, "Lu Hong is not a good person. He distributes supplies as he pleases. I heard from people on the 18th floor that he treats men and women differently. Women can only get half of what men get."

"Although women found most of the supplies, Lu Hong took advantage of the fact that men were the ones who pried the door open and cut half of those women's supplies. Because women are weaker than men, they can only accept the arrangement without any chance to resist."

Hearing this, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Grandma Quan, you won't come here and ask me to help those women, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Quan quickly waved her hands and said, "Miss Yao, you misunderstood me. I know that whatever happened to them is not something you can solve or have anything to do with you."

Although Grandma Quan is older, she has more life experience. How could she not understand the principle that one is responsible for one's own life?

Hearing this, Yao Ran smiled and motioned for Grandma Quan to continue.

It is interesting to listen to Grandma Quan. No wonder Huang Zhihui always runs to chat with Grandma Quan whenever she has free time.

After Grandma Quan calmed down, she continued, "Yesterday, I heard the conversation of those women who worked for Lu Hong. They said that in addition to dealing with other building managers, Lu Hong also had a deal with some gangs outside."

"Last night, he also left the building with several young women. He paid them half a kilogram of food for an hour of work and sold them to people outside. This morning, those women were almost dead when they were brought back."

"Those women only made three kilograms of food after working for the whole night, but Lu Hong took half of it as a middleman. One of the young women even bled to death shortly after returning."

"Lu Hong is really despicable. When the young woman's family asked him to pay for their daughter's life, he said he had already paid for her work. If the family is dissatisfied, they can find those men who played her to death to settle the score."

"It was known to everyone that those men were members of the gangs. Who dares to go to them to settle accounts?"

Listening to Grandma Quan's words, Yao Ran didn't show any expressions. Even if those women died, it was their own choice. She would not and could not help them.

Grandma Quan came not only to tell Yao Ran what Lu Hong had done but also because she heard bad news.

Lowering her voice, Grandma Quan said, "Yesterday, people from outside came to Buildings 9 and 10 to collect protection grains. Each household must pay three kilograms of food per person every week. Otherwise, those people will kill the residents."

Hearing this, Yao Ran was not surprised. In her previous life, the same thing also happened in Haicheng City. However, Lan Guanghui has a lot of supplies and bodyguards, and he is the one who collects the protection grains instead.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
