Chapter 584 Is this your decision?
Their family of four relied on her to scavenger to make a living, and their life was obviously difficult.
"I grew up here, can't I come back and visit?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and gave everything she brought to Sister Li after entering the house.
The wild vegetables dug today probably weighed about ten kilograms, and she picked them only those with low radiation.
There were also milk tablets, candies, noodles and flour sold in the safe zone, etc. But fearing that she would feel burdened, she only took a little.
But despite this, Sister Li was so grateful that she didn't know what to say.
Even the whole family had tears in their eyes.
"I'm in a safe zone now, I have plenty of food. Please stop looking at me like that. It makes me uncomfortable."
Jiang Yuan really couldn't handle their excessive thanks.
"Okay, no more. We won't look at you."
Sister Li wiped away her tears and smiled faintly.
Then we started eating.
Jiang Yuan came only after eating, and was unwilling to share the meat that they had rarely gotten.
But Sister Li refused to let her just stand there and watch.
Finally, I made a cup of hot milk from the milk flakes she brought me and let her drink it.
Just because of this, she repeatedly said it was embarrassing because her family really couldn't afford any good food to entertain the guests and had to let them eat the food she brought.
"I heard from Uncle Luo that according to the old custom, when the number of people is too small to resist the beast tide, they will move to the nearest slum. You may have to move to No. 5. I know someone there. I will tell my friends later so that I can take care of you when you move there."
After all, they are old, some are disabled, and there is not even a head of the family.
"Have you decided to move to number five?"
Sister Li should have been feeling happy as she drank the broth, but now she felt a little more worried because of Jiang Yuan's words.
"Isn't it the custom in previous years?"
Jiang Yuan was no longer confident when asked this question.
Looking at the expressions of the two elders, although they were smiling at her, they looked a little bitter.
"Or do you already know what to do next?"
Jiang Yuan was puzzled. Isn’t it still Resettlement Area No. 5?
"How would we know about such an important decision?"
Sister Li smiled bitterly.
So what are you worried about?
Jiang Yuan couldn't understand it, but Sister Li didn't say anything more.
It was obvious that he didn't want to talk more about the beast tide.
Later, Jiang Yuan stayed for more than an hour before returning home.
She hadn't slept for a long time and she tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
The reaction of Sister Li's family always made her nervous.
So early the next morning, she went to the police station to get some information.
But when I got there, I found that the first and second floors had been emptied, and only some fallen leaves and dust were left in the empty building.
It's only summer, and the patrolmen have already vacated the place? Isn't that too early?
Jiang Yuan was very shocked and went upstairs.
Everything she saw here made her feel a little uneasy.
If the entire building is gone and the patrol officers have completely evacuated, then where will the people in Slum No. 6 go?
She didn't dare to think further.
I always feel that maybe my thoughts are too dark and twisted, and I misunderstood those people.
So, when she went up to the third floor and saw that there were still people working there, she was really relieved.
She followed her memory and found Zhang Liang's office.
He is just fine and is here too.
"How did you come?"
But the moment he saw Jiang Yuan, he was very surprised.
Jiang Yuan went in and greeted everyone enthusiastically.
Zhang Liang kept staring at her, and after a long while, he sighed deeply.
"They say girls change a lot when they grow up. You're in your twenties now, why are you still changing?"
No one would doubt Jiang Yuan in front of us even if we said she was a rich, beautiful girl from a safe zone, right?
"It develops slowly, and the critical period doesn't come until you're in your twenties."
Jiang Yuan explained it seriously, as if she believed it to be the case.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang looked at her in surprise.
Then they looked at each other and both laughed.
"How is it? I heard that you are in the safe zone now. Is life easy there?"
“We have enough food and clothing, but we are physically and mentally abused.”
This time it's the truth.
I still miss the days when I used to think about what to eat every day.
"You, you don't know how lucky you are."
Zhang Liang disagreed.
He also wanted to go to the safe zone and be tortured physically and mentally, but he had to have the ability to do so.
"But I'm back now. I heard that you were going to move, so I came to see you. Have the higher-ups issued any notice? What are you going to do with Slum No. 6 this year?"
They must have been the first to receive the news.
They have already started moving, which means Slum No. 6 has been abandoned.
"There are still two months before the complete relocation. Those of us who are in charge must hold on until after the autumn harvest."
Zhang Liang looked a little helpless.
"So late? Are we going to evacuate the poor only at the last minute?"
Winter comes immediately after the autumn harvest, and she experienced this deeply last year.
It would be very troublesome to move at that time. How could the poor store enough firewood to survive the winter?
But Zhang Liang didn't answer her question.
"After the autumn harvest, it is safest to live in the safe zone. Don't think about coming out to suffer."
But his caring words made her mood fall to the bottom.
So this place is absolutely unsafe?
“So, the poor people here won’t be relocated?”
She kept asking, unwilling to give up and not believing it.
"So far, we have not received any notice to relocate the poor. Jiang Yuan, we do not have the power to relocate the poor unless we receive an order from above."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Liang couldn't hide it either.
Because he had already asked about it when the police station began to move, and his superiors did not respond positively, so he understood their choice.
"Moreover, the remaining people simply don't have the ability to survive. Two-thirds of those recorded are the elderly, the weak, women and children who luckily survived the beast tide last year. Most of the men in No. 6 died last year. These people won't survive long no matter where they are. Instead of letting them go to No. 5 and snatch other people's survival resources?"
Therefore, these people who are born have no value.
This year, No. 6 had a small population and abundant resources, so no one starved to death. They even stockpiled some food. Even a family like that of Sister Li managed to survive.
They never expected that it would be their last year.
This year, they are doomed.
Could it be that Sister Li and the others had already anticipated such an outcome, which is why they had such expressions last night?
"Old people are useless, but aren't children our hope for the future? And in an environment where childbirth is difficult, aren't women more important? Don't these people want to move?"
In such a cruel environment, if we have to give up some people, according to their logic, the old people are worthless, but what about women and children?
