Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile
Chapter 68 Jealousy
The next morning, everyone finally saw clearly that their home had turned into ruins. The visual experience was so shocking that it cannot be described in words.
After a night of rain, many people were hungry and tired. There was a big crack in the canteen of the base, and the pots and pans were scattered on the ground. Li Yimin distributed compressed biscuits to everyone for the first time in a long time to fill their stomachs. Many people ate them with rainwater, and some ate them dry.
When Su Yun and Wang Jie were collecting compressed biscuits, they met Meng Zhe and Tan Chuang who were also queuing up. They looked extremely embarrassed. Li Mei saw that Wang Jie and Su Yun were still wearing disposable raincoats. She felt sour in her heart. She felt so embarrassed now. Her clothes were covered with mud and stuck to her body. Her thin figure was visible at a glance. Her skin was also glowing black due to the extreme heat. Not only was her face pale and thin, but her hair was also slightly tangled. There was nothing extra to protect her from the rain. Everyone was getting biscuits in the rain. Why were they living so well, while she was getting wet with her child? She was so unsympathetic. Any normal person would give up their raincoat when they saw her holding her child in the rain. Su Yun was heartless.
The hateful look was too blatant. Su Yun met her gaze and simply ignored her. He nodded at Tan Chuang and pulled Wang Jie to the back to queue.
When passing by Li Mei, Li Mei suddenly tore her disposable raincoat like crazy, and the raincoat was torn into several holes. Su Yun was so angry that he dragged her hair and pressed her into the mud. Li Mei hadn't had a full meal for a long time, so she was naturally not as strong as Su Yun. She was pressed into the mud and had a mouthful of mud.
Su Yun looked at her coldly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "You must have been upset with me for a long time, right? I really enjoy your unwilling look. I'll give you a good wish: I hope you live a few more years." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving behind a mess and anger.
Li Mei: You bitch, let me go, you have no heart, the children are exposed to the wind and rain, hungry and cold, but you are wearing a raincoat and don't know how to share, you have no love, you don't deserve to be a human being. You deserve to die, ugh, ugh.
Li Mei cursed and vomited at the same time.
Meng Zhe quickly stepped forward to pull the person away, but Wang Jie angrily grabbed him and stopped him from intervening. Su Yun pressed her five or six times before she was willing to let her go, and said disdainfully: You must have been unhappy with me for a long time, I really enjoy your unwilling look, let me give you a good wish: I hope you live a few more years.
After saying that, he glanced at Meng Zhe with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and turned around gracefully. Tan Chuang was annoyed at Li Mei's recklessness. Now it would be even more difficult for him to get close to the Su family.
Wang Jie also left Mengzhe and followed Su Yun. Li Mei kept retching, and mud and water poured into her mouth, throat and nose. She wanted to vomit but couldn't. She pointed at Su Yun and wanted to curse, but she couldn't say a word. When she turned around, she saw Mengzhe looking at her with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger. She felt sad, wronged, and particularly unwilling.
Tan Chuang sighed, turned his back and said nothing. What a sin! Li Mei used to be a gentle and kind person, but during this period of hardship, survival has made her cold and heartless. Who would have thought that a medical worker who saves lives and heals the wounded would one day go to snatch a baby's milk powder? Now seeing the relative superiority of others, her heart is full of jealousy and anger. Such a Li Mei really makes her feel sick.
Li Mei had thought about looking for a job at the base hospital, but she joined the base late, and the hospital had cut many positions due to a shortage of medicines. Doctors and nurses basically had to take on multiple roles. It was said that there were many people waiting in line to work, and it would never be her turn. They didn't have any supplies to smooth things over, and they felt very frustrated.
This kind of grievance was particularly uncomfortable every time she thought of Su Yun's dignity, as if her self-esteem was severely crushed by someone. She could no longer control her emotions, and hatred was deeply rooted in her heart.
Today, when she saw Su Yun appear in a respectable manner again, while the supplies she had robbed were buried in the ruins and she was left with nothing, her unwillingness reached its peak.
Li Mei looked at Su Yun's receding back, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She swore that she would never let Su Yun continue to be proud, and she would make her life worse than death.
Su Yun was too lazy to pay attention to her roar. He thought that if Li Mei knew that there were endless delicacies in the space she owned, and she could eat almost non-stop, she would probably be jealous to death. Maybe she would die on the spot because of jealousy. No, Su Yun felt that he was not proud enough. He would see where they lived and then go to provoke that gossipy woman every now and then.
Wang Jie originally didn't bother with Li Mei for Meng Zhe's sake, but now he has changed his mind. They are so low-key but it has aroused jealousy. If they accidentally show off their wealth occasionally, wouldn't those people be pissed to death?
The rain stopped in the afternoon, and the long-unclear sky gave many people a chance to breathe. The base immediately organized a porridge shed for disaster relief. The porridge shed was set up not far from the Su family's parking space. Leaning out the car window, one could see dozens of large pots steaming. There were a lot of people settling in the North District, and the line of people getting porridge was endless.
It stopped raining and the rescue work at the base was slowly getting underway. The troops were far from adequately staffed, so Liang Cancan and Guan Xiong were mobilizing all uninjured people to participate in the rescue. All those in the Su family who had no injuries followed, leaving only a few women at home to look after the children.
Some of the people who participated in the rescue actually wanted to find more food and clothes in the ruins. Wang Jie, his great cousin, his grandfather and a group of people went to Lingyun Community first. There was a long crack running from the middle staircase of Building 10. Half of Room 1 had collapsed, and half of Room 2 opposite was slightly tilted.
Judging from the situation, the things in Lan's father's room 501, Su's room 601 and 701 were all buried in the ruins. Su Zhangming saw that a corner of the table tennis table they often played on was exposed, mixed with a few solar panels on the top floor that had not been disassembled.
A dozen ragged men were rummaging through the ruins. The house was so dangerous that no one would dare to approach it even if they had a hundred courage.
Several people climbed up half of the stairs and hung on the exposed steel bars like monkeys, looking extremely dangerous.
Wang Jie and Su Zhangming looked at the ruins occupied by other people, pulled the little grandfather and said: Let's go, little grandfather, as long as we have the green mountains, we will never run out of firewood. Those people are risking their lives, we can't take the risk.
Liang Cancan happened to be leading a team passing by, and hurriedly took them to the South District to rescue people. After arriving at the South District, they saw more people buried underground and could only rely on manpower to dig them out bit by bit.
Wang Jie, Su Zhangming and others quickly entered the rescue state, and they also hoped to save more lives as soon as possible.
As time passed, they dug out several trapped residents, and more people were buried forever under the rubble, but every excavation was a continuation of hope and a persistence in life.
After a week of continuous manual rescue, Li Yimin announced that he would give up the rescue and all the survivors on the ground were arranged.
As long as there is an open space, camouflage cloth strips are pulled up for temporary sunshade. This is a daily supply item for the troops, and now they have all become temporary residences for the victims.
Fortunately, although the air-raid shelters were affected, there was no loss of stock, and relief porridge was available for collection at the base every day.
On the seventh day, dozens of planes finally flew over the sky, continuously dropping supplies into the forbidden area in the northern district. Only the official members of the base could enter there, and ordinary people could not.
Li Yimin was delighted to see the airdropped medicines, food and water. He arranged for Director Li to distribute the medicines that night and cooked mushroom porridge for the survivors. The mushrooms were picked from the mountains when it was extremely hot and dried. However, the porridge was too watery, so everyone just ate enough water. Su Yun also took his family to queue up to receive the medicines.
After the weather cleared up, the water on the ground dried up. Su Yun was wearing black and gray flying woven shoes, a light gray casual sportswear, and a beggar-style vest bought online. She looked pleasing to the eye. Passing by Li Mei and their tent, she took Wang Jie's arm, pretending to be intimate, and chatted and laughed.
This kind of sweetness directly hit Li Mei hard. Recently, she and Meng Zhe had been quarreling frequently, and sometimes they would fight. The relationship between the couple had long been broken. The thing that she was proud of in front of Su Yun had become a joke. What made her most angry was the large stewing pots in their hands. Although they were covered with a bamboo coat, she could see that the two stewing pots not only had large capacity, but were also very heat-insulating.
After the earthquake, they also went around digging for usable supplies, but the pots, pans, and utensils they dug out were either flattened and deformed or had holes in them. Very few of them were intact.
Normally, when we went to collect the relief porridge, we would use a deformed iron pipe to get it back, and then the family would take turns eating it, just like pigs eating in a trough, without even a decent spoon.
Although the clothes on my body were dried, they always had a very unpleasant musty and sour smell.
