I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists

Chapter 141: Future Chaos

Shu Yuanwei staggered to his feet and ran towards the villa district without looking back.

Hugging her child, the female refugee thanked Qiu Tong repeatedly. Qiu Tong noticed that the group of refugees and beggars behind her were looking at Shu Yuanwei with resentment and viciousness. Secretly alarmed by this, she quickly took out some food and distributed it to them. “You better leave this place as soon as possible.”

“Bring the children to a warmer place.”

Qiu Tong looked at a burly refugee staring at the food and frowned at him, “You’re not allowed to call anyone else to come over here.”

“Our food is limited. We don’t have any more excess food to give you, understand?”

The refugees and beggars did not answer. They just hurriedly grabbed some food and stuffed it into their mouths. Their actions and expressions reminded Qiu Tong of the post-apocalyptic chaos. She hurried home in a panic and closed all the doors and windows of the villa. She drew the curtains and extinguished all the bright lights in the room.

Qiu Tong then hid behind the curtain and saw the refugees and beggars rushing towards the row of villas.

“That woman from just now lives in that direction!”

“She must still have some food. If we find her, we can survive a few more days!”

They wanted to beg for more food from Qiu Tong. Occasionally, they would stop and re-orientate themselves, searching for Qiu Tong’s residence, gradually approaching…

The leader of the beggars narrowed his eyes and examined the villas one by one. He said in a hoarse voice, “Continue to search!”

Qiu Tong immediately understood that this group of beggars must have run out of other areas in S City to beg for food!

Although the situation in S City was better than in other cities, the locust plague still affected the farmers and food production here to a certain extent!

There had still been a sudden decrease in the production of grains. The households in S City only managed to maintain their own food reserves, and none had any surplus food to give to the refugees and beggars.

The refugees outside the city were famished and cold. They were already on the verge of death, so it was inevitable that their emotions and actions would go to the extreme.

When they saw that the citizens of S City had food and accommodation, and could even live in warm houses, they would definitely feel unbalanced.

Unresolvable conflicts would gradually accumulate and eventually erupt, creating chaos.

Qiu Tong drew the curtains tightly and murmured, “The city is going to be in chaos.”

Qiu Tong received a call from the kindergarten teacher in the evening. “Hello? Is this Mother Qiu?”

“It hasn’t been very peaceful in S City recently. There have been many cases of refugees causing trouble. As the children don’t have the ability to protect themselves, we have decided to temporarily close the kindergarten for the next few days.”

“You don’t have to send the children to kindergarten for the next few days. As for homework and classes, our teacher will contact you again.”

Qiu Tong frowned and replied softly, “Thank you, Teacher.”

“I’ll take care of the children. You be careful too.”

She hung up the phone and looked back at Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu, who were sitting quietly in the living room watching cartoons. Her eyes darkened.

Qiu Xingyuan walked out from his bedroom. He overheard Qiu Tong’s conversation with the kindergarten teacher. He pursed his thin lips and asked with a serious expression, “Did something happen outside?”

“Is it because of those refugees outside?”

Qiu Xingyuan did not deliberately lower his voice. Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu heard his words over their cartoon and ran over in a panic. They asked Qiu Tong, “Mommy, are there bad people outside?”
