The next day, after Tang Li sent Tang Guo home, she returned to the exchange and sold the SUV.
However, when she rode the bus home, she discovered that her front door was wide open!
Tang Li was startled.
But considering that the canned hydrogen and lithium batteries at her home had been put into her spatial dimension before she left, and only the cotton quilts and electric blankets covering the bedroom walls, ceiling, and floor were not, she felt a little relieved.
She hurried into the house and saw several people, led by Zhang Yan, in her home, packing up the coal, food, and drinking water she had placed there as a display.
However, they had not opened her bedroom door.
Although relieved, Tang Li still felt a surge of anger.
She questioned, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yan turned around in surprise, looked at Tang Li by the door, then looked at her bedroom.
He then said with a look of pleasant surprise, "Little Li, you're alright? That's great!"
"We called at the door for a long time but heard no response from inside, so we thought something had happened to you. That's why we opened your door to take a look."
"Because you're a girl, we didn't enter your bedroom. We just sent someone to notify the community... I didn't expect you to be away from home."
Zhang Yan explained with some awkwardness.
He then asked, "Why aren't you home during the Lunar New Year?"
Tang Li was speechless, "During the Lunar New Year, of course, one celebrates with friends and family. What's the point of staying home alone?"
"Oh, haha. I see, so we misunderstood."
Zhang Yan awkwardly scratched his head and then gestured to the others, "Let's go, let's go. Little Li is alive, we should leave quickly."
According to the rules, if someone's family was found to have met with misfortune, it should be reported to the community, and officials would be sent to open the door and handle it.
However, because most of the people in Tang Li's neighborhood had joined the "Self-Rescue Union," they were used to handling families whose members had met with misfortune themselves.
After all, if the officials handled it, the remaining supplies from those families would be confiscated, while if the "Self-Rescue Union" handled it, the collective could take over.
Even though Tang Li had not joined the "Self-Rescue Union," Zhang Yan and the others had handled it according to "precedent."
Although they had not entered Tang Li's bedroom, the supplies in Tang Li's living room had all been packed.
At this moment, hearing Zhang Yan's words, these people were somewhat reluctant to put them down.
As Zhang Yan was about to leave, he saw that the others were moving slowly.
He turned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go."
Zhang Yan was very embarrassed at this time and just wanted to leave here quickly.
After all, as the president, he would not be hungry or cold while others were, so he didn't care about these supplies.
But it was different for others.
"President, look, Miss Tang has so many supplies. Why don't you talk to her and borrow some from us? Everyone is having a hard time now. We'll return it to her after we get through this, and she definitely won't go hungry."
One of them hesitated and said to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was stunned by this and remained silent for a moment.
But Tang Li's face darkened, and she said impolitely, "I have a lot of supplies, what does that have to do with you? Put down the supplies quickly and get out of my house!"
It was the same in her previous life, where she and others with points were made to exchange for supplies to provide for everyone in the "Self-Rescue Union." They even righteously said that she wouldn't suffer any losses, and then they used her supplies with a clear conscience to curry favor with Zhang Yan.
Upon hearing Tang Li's words, these people were also indignant.
One of them said indignantly, "Miss Tang, you are too selfish! When others are starving and freezing, it's not a problem for you to share some supplies with them. We are all from the same neighborhood..."
But before he could finish, Tang Li interrupted him.
"What's wrong with being from the same neighborhood? City A is still a city, China is still a country, Earth is still a planet, do I have to nurture everything?"
