"We have like eighty people waiting to be fed," Su Hu spread his hands in front of Bai Xue and questioned her angrily, "How are we going to feed every single one of them? Did you even think before letting them stay here?"
More than eighty people were enough to cause trouble for them. Even if they could prove helpful, there was a really good chance that they could also cause trouble for them. What if these survivors didn’t get anything to eat for another three or four days? Wouldn’t they attack them?
"Are you getting angry at me?" Bai Xue raised her head with an aggrieved look in her eyes. With her lip jutting out, she looked at Su Hu with a hint of coquetishness. "Who am I doing this for? Aren’t I doing it because I was worried that we will have nothing to eat in the coming days? I thought that as long as we have enough people with us, we won’t have to worry about anything."
When Su Hu heard her aggrieved voice, he couldn’t stay angry with her anymore. He sighed and hugged her. "Okay, okay. Don’t get angry. I only said that because I was worried those people would cause trouble for us."
"Hmm," Bai Xue buried her face into Su Hu’s arms; however, once her face was hidden, Bai Xue raised her hand and started nibbling on her thumbnail. The reason she allowed Xiang Mei and the rest to stay here was because she wanted them to steal Bai Meiyue’s supplies. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
But this time around, she not only failed to get what she wanted, but she even raised a stone to smash it on her foot. Not only did she fail to get any advantage, but she also caused trouble for herself.
Su Hu was right. These people were like ticking bombs; if she did not deal with them properly, they would certainly cause trouble for her and her family. No matter what, she first needed to arrange these people properly or else she would be too worried about her safety.
Her head was hurting as she thought about this matter in her hand.
"Why don’t we ask them to take their supplies out?" Chu Xia, who was sitting in the corner, suggested. She looked at her daughter and Su Hu before saying, "These people must be hiding some supplies with them, so why not take them? That way we will have enough supplies to distribute until Ah Feng returns. We just need to control them until Ah Feng comes back; after that, everything will be alright."
Bai Xue pulled away from Su Hu and blinked her eyes. She nodded and agreed with what Chu Xia said. That’s right; now that everyone was in the same boat, there was no point in hiding any supplies.
"You are right; how about we arrange a small system like summer camps? We will register the names, ages, and genders of the people who came to live with us and ask them to hand over their supplies. These things will be confiscated and those who refuse will not be given any support by us when Brother Feng returns. We will also set a time to distribute the supplies such that no one would take advantage of others."
