Chapter 61 Lively
It was supposed to be a good day off, but because of the sudden drop in temperature, Qiao Zhi had to find a way to solve the temperature problem first.
There was a stove and some coal in Lu Hanchuan's space.
After setting up the stove and lighting the fire, the temperature in the room quickly rose.
There are equipment that can increase the temperature in the barrage mall, but Qiao Zhi thinks it is a bit of a waste to exchange it.
After all, they can still withstand the current temperature, and their energy should be used wisely.
Qiao Zhi stayed at home the entire morning and didn't go out until the afternoon.
The streets outside had been cleared, and she saw many people returning from outside the base.
When she and Lu Hanchuan walked to the west side of the base, they happened to see a group of people gathered there.
The gossip radar in Qiao Zhi's heart instantly sounded an alarm. This situation was obviously going to be exciting.
She quickly pulled Lu Hanchuan up.
As she approached, she heard someone say, "What a sin! This family is so shameless. They actually locked a little girl outside the door in such cold weather."
Ok?
Lock the girl out.
She walked forward and asked curiously, "Why is he locked outside? Didn't the child go to the place arranged by the base to live?"
Currently, minors under the age of eighteen in the base are basically supported by the base, and their living quarters are also arranged together.
The children’s living conditions are much better than here.
The situation in the end times is special. Many people can’t even support themselves, let alone raise children.
For most people, having the base allow them to raise children is something they would love to have.
Someone was curious, and the old lady who was enjoying the show instantly became excited.
She turned around and enthusiastically shared the family's great achievements with Qiao Zhi.
"Their child was originally staying in a place arranged by the base, but the family insisted that the child should stay with their family, so they brought him back."
The relatives want to take the child away, what can the base do?
Raising children at the base is for the sake of the country's future, but one more or one less is actually not a big deal.
Moreover, the one who was taken away by his family did not awaken any special abilities, so the base would not stop him.
When the base provided support for children was first implemented, no coercion was adopted, mainly because no one would refuse such a good thing.
Who knew it actually existed.
"At first, the family treated the child very well. After all, the mother came back to visit often."
As she spoke, the old lady seemed to remember something: "Oh, right, this child's biological mother is a superpower."
"Speaking of which, the reason this family can live such a comfortable life is all because of the child's biological mother."
"But they didn't show any gratitude. Not only did they mistreat the child, they even brought another woman back."
Although they did it in a rather covert way, because of who she was, no gossip in this place could escape her eyes.
If she were to say, this family was really heartless. She had heard the old man and the old lady in this family slandering their daughter-in-law many times during this period.
It’s a pity that they don’t know that the situation has changed. If it was just an ordinary person’s daughter-in-law, they might still agree, but she is a person with superpowers.
Qiao Zhi found out the whole story from the old lady.
Isn’t this a story about a gigolo who, with the help of his parents, deceives his wife, abuses his daughter, and looks for his mistress?
Just as he was thinking this, Qiao Zhi heard a roar from the front: "Wu Dayou, if anything happens to my daughter, I want you to pay with your life!"
This voice was followed by an old woman's wailing. "Rebellion, rebellion! Whose wife would treat you like this? She's just a little girl, and you dare to fight and kill me for her and my son?"
"Get out of here, you damn old woman! Don't think I don't know that you're the one who instigated all this!"
This time Qiao Zhi heard it clearly. The woman who was speaking was Zhang Sihong, whom she met in the training camp.
She had heard Zhang Sihong mention her family situation at the beginning.
She escaped to the base with her husband, daughter, and parents-in-law. Because she had awakened her special abilities, she was able to live in an apartment allocated free of charge by the base, while her husband and his family lived in the house she rented for them with her points.
At that time, when Zhang Sihong talked about her family, there was a look of relief on her face, because no one in her family turned into a zombie, and she was lucky enough to awaken her superpowers.
Who would have thought that her family would become like this now.
Qiao Zhi sighed a little.
It’s hard to even ask other families for a person with special abilities, but this family has one but doesn’t know how to cherish him.
The dispute over there was still going on. She heard the Wu family desperately blaming Zhang Sihong, trying to win everyone's sympathy with words.
However, this trick doesn't work at all in the end times, and no one will offend a person with superpowers for them.
Zhang Sihong hugged her daughter and snorted coldly: "Wu Dayou, since you are my daughter's biological father, I will let you go today. But from now on, we will go our separate ways. Don't try to take advantage of me again!"
If it weren't for the fact that she was not allowed to use her superpowers at will in the base, she would have taught the Wu family a lesson today.
Zhang Sihong is not a person who accepts everything and regards her husband as her heaven.
This family had acted so well before that she never realized that they actually disliked their daughter.
Before the end of the world, Wu Dayou's parents asked her to have another child, but she didn't care at the time.
Now that I think about it, she was really stupid.
At that time, they had already shown that they didn't like their daughter, but she didn't see it.
If the road had not been blocked by heavy snow and their team had not been unable to move forward and had to return early, she might not have discovered the true identity of this family.
After Zhang Sihong said she was breaking off relations, the old woman howled even louder.
"You're a hen that doesn't lay eggs. You don't want to have a son. What's wrong with me finding Dayou a son who does? Do you really want our Wu family to have no descendants?"
Her words shocked the onlookers.
No, what era is this? Even before the end of the world, favoring boys over girls was rare.
What's more, it's the end of the world now. Let alone having children, most women probably want to go through menopause.
After all, these things are really troublesome in the end times.
But the old woman was just throwing a tantrum and didn't even notice the strange expressions on everyone's faces.
"I don't care, you can't leave. You are a member of our family in life and a ghost in death!"
It seems that this old woman is not that stupid. She knows that Zhang Sihong is the foundation for their good life.
But in such a hell of a place, who would dare to stay unless they are stupid?
Zhang Sihong didn't want to say anything more to them, so she just turned around and left with her daughter in her arms.
The old woman wanted to chase after him, but Zhang Sihong kicked her down without hesitation.
As for her husband Wu Dayou, he had been beaten up by her a long time ago and now he can't move at all.
Seeing Zhang Sihong leaving, the crowd automatically parted to make way for her.
