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."

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.
