For Su Shu, living in the resettlement area, Shen Han was like a tornado—sweeping in and out with a roar.

She had never inquired about his affairs, yet somehow, someone inexplicably passed on news about Shen Han to her ears.

It was said, when Shen Han left, he had taken a teenage girl with him, but no one knew her relationship to the Shen Family.

Upon hearing this, Su Shu simply responded with an “oh,” and moved on.

She didn’t want to hear a word about the Shen Family.

Lately, the atmosphere within the resettlement area had been a bit off.

Coming and going, Su Shu felt it keenly.

“Su Shu, I’ve heard many people want to leave the resettlement area and return home. What about you? What do you think?”

One day, Li Xiaoxia saw Su Shu returning and hurriedly asked.

Putting down the things she had collected, Su Shu asked, “Can we go home now?”

“I’m not sure, I just heard it from the sister-in-law across the way,” she indicated with a gesture.

Turning around, Su Shu saw that the family opposite was busy packing their things, apparently planning not to stay in the resettlement area any longer.

Overhearing Li Xiaoxia’s words, the woman opposite turned around and loudly said, “Yes, it’s said that things in Linjiang have been mostly sorted out in the past few days. Anyway, the flood has receded, and it’s getting light; there’s nothing dangerous. Isn’t it much better to go home than to go hungry here every day?”

After thinking it over, Su Shu kindly reminded, “It’s so turbulent outside now, there’s no guarantee of safety at home. Here, although we can’t get enough to eat, at least we aren’t starving. Isn’t that still okay?”

“What good is ‘okay’? I can’t live like this any longer. Look at our family, with elders above and little ones below. With such food rations, we might as well fall ill from hunger! It’s better to go home. I advise you not to stubbornly rely on this place. It’s useless. When the government stops distributing food, let’s see how you’ll manage,” the sister-in-law said.

Li Xiaoxia looked at Su Shu with a worried expression, and seeing that her well-intentioned advice was ignored, Su Shu didn’t say another word.

If her words were futile, why bother to speak more?

She turned to take out Xiao’ai’s dirty clothes and planned to wash them.

“I’ll stay here a bit longer,” she said, speaking to Li Xiaoxia. Whether she took the suggestion to heart, that was beyond Su Shu’s control.

In her previous life, there indeed had been a period when people returned home, unable to endure the hardship of the resettlement area and rushing back to their homes after the floodwaters receded.

The government did not stop them because at that time, the government, having just managed to control the chaos in the suburbs, hadn’t yet realized a bigger problem.

While C City had been controlled, some areas in the neighboring provinces and other places had completely lost control.

People without food and supplies, hearing that C City still had opportunities, flocked in droves, and conflicts and riots were inevitable.

Robberies, assaults, and other such incidents occurred frequently. Even within the various resettlement areas, chaos ensued as supplies dispatched from the higher authorities failed to arrive on time.

Su Shu guessed that many people who were clamoring to return home might also be part of those wanting to leave the resettlement area to loot elsewhere.

After the flood, the Linjiang Region had nearly become a ghost town.

In such a place, while the government soldiers were rescuing the injured, naturally, there were also people mixed in who were taking advantage of the situation to scavenge.

Probably some were living quite comfortably outside, and their stories spread into the resettlement area, making some people restless.

Su Shu did not advise Li Xiaoxia’s family to move out, and when the family across from them left, she very discreetly spoke to the Luo Family.

Now was not a good time to leave the resettlement area. Although the flood had receded, there were so many dead or injured outside, and the government had not yet had time to free up manpower for a thorough cleanup. An epidemic could easily break out, and once it started to spread, returning to a safe and sanitary resettlement place like the gym would be very difficult. Better not sacrifice the greater good for a small benefit.
