Most women, after marriage, rely on their husbands to work in the mines to make money, and then do some odd jobs to subsidize the family.

This can barely maintain the expenses of the family.

This is why, once an accident occurs in the mine, people in the town will be displaced.The family has lost its pillars, and it is difficult to support a family by one person alone.

Therefore, Chu Mu wanted to take a special look. He was worried that Cruze's wife and children would be displaced due to lack of money.

After the woman heard Chu Mu's intention, she hurriedly claimed that she didn't need help.

After Cruze's sacrifice, the Earth Fire organization will give the woman a monthly pension, although it is not much, but it can barely subsidize the family.

Moreover, the Earthfire organization will also introduce some odd jobs to women, such as the clothes piled up in the house, many of which are orders placed by members of the Earthfire organization.

The woman is very grateful for the help of the fire. In the entire lower area, only the fire will treat the family members of the dead team members like this.

In the mining team and the boxing gym, they were all given a sum of money, and the money could only last for a few months at most, which was nothing more than prolonging the time of despair.

Cruze also has a son, which will not be at home.

This child has grown up and inherited his father's job as a recruit of the Earth Fire Organization.

Today he received an urgent order and left home in a hurry.

The woman didn't know what task the child was going to perform, and she didn't ask, but she would always be here waiting for the child to come back.

However, Chu Mu knew that this urgent order was the action against the upper area tomorrow.

He chatted with Cruze's widow for a while, then left here.

The woman watched the boy's back at the door, and she didn't know the origin of this boy who spoke in a strange way.

This is a new face she has never seen in Panyan Town.

The teenager claimed that he had been favored by Cruze at a very early age.

But my husband, before becoming a member of Earthfire, was just a down-and-out boxer in the boxing gym.

At that time, he couldn't protect himself, so what could he do to help others?

The woman leaned against the door, her thoughts gradually drifting away.

She remembered—

On a hungry night 13 years ago, the man came home late with no food.

"Sorry, I didn't make any money today." The man's eyes were red and swollen, feeling very guilty.

"The child is already asleep." The woman said softly, "It's okay to be hungry, as long as you can come back, I'm worried that you will have an accident in the boxing gym."

"There will be no more accidents." The man shook his head, "I lost that job, and Boss Scott won't hire me again."

The woman looked at the man in astonishment.

"I'm sorry." The man lowered his head, "I will go to the mine tomorrow to see if I can find a job. I will find a way to make money, and I won't keep your mother and child hungry..."

The man's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lost his confidence.

At this moment, the woman threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and held him tightly.

The man's rough hand shook in the air in a daze, before finally placing it lightly on his wife's waist.

He choked up and said:

"I don't understand why it's so difficult to be a good person in this damn world."

"Kruze, you said, it's this damn world." The woman looked up at her husband, her eyes were full of tenderness, "So, it's not your fault."

"I'm stupid to make you hungry." The man shook his head, "I was so reckless when the child was short of nutrition... I promised you when I got married that I would always protect you, but I can't protect anyone."

"Stop talking about that, hero." The woman reached out to hold the man's face, her eyes met with tenderness and encouragement, "Take a day off today, and protect us tomorrow."

"Yeah." The man nodded with firm eyes, "I will always protect you."

……

Recalling the past again, the woman sat slumped at the door, weeping uncontrollably.

……

Chapter 166 The Assault Begins

It was already night when Chu Mu returned to the clinic.

He has been around Panyan Town for a long time and has witnessed too much pain.

At this time, the clinic has become much deserted.

When Chu Mu opened the door and walked in, Natasha was leaning on the window sill looking at the medical records in her hand.

She looked up at Chu Mu and said wearily:

"Sorry, I'm too busy today and left you out in the cold."

Chu Mu shook his head and typed:

"I walked around the town, and everyone's life is very difficult now."

"This is already the result of Earthfire trying its best to maintain it." Natasha shook her head and said, "This place was abandoned 13 years ago, and every year since then, the limit of survival has been refreshed."

After a pause, Natasha said softly:

"So, tomorrow's action is critical, and it is related to the future of the lower district."

What the lower districts want is not the arrogance of the upper districts, but equal dignity.

Chu Mu sat here for a while at the clinic.

At this time, the off-duty miners returned to the clinic one after another to pick up their children.

Hu Ke came out of the cubicle, and the moment he saw Chu Mu, his expression became depressed.

She said in a childish voice:

"Hook did his homework all afternoon today."

Chu Mu gave a thumbs up.

Hu Ke looked at Chu Mu in embarrassment, rearranged his words, and said:

"Hook was forced to do homework all afternoon today!"

Chu Mu raised his thumbs up with both hands, showing a standard smile.

"What a piece of wood, Hu Ke ignored you!" Hu Ke stomped his feet and ran out the door.

Outside the door, an old man with a white beard stood there with his back bent and his expression vicissitudes of life.

But at the moment when he saw Hu Ke, his eyes immediately became full of spirit.

"Father!" Hook happily embraced the old man.

The two held hands and disappeared at the end of the street.

Natasha came over and said:

"Fissman's health is very bad, and he is reluctant to take medicine. He has been saving money, thinking that he can leave a sum of money to Hook after his death."

Feissman is still a homeless man, and saving money is even more difficult than that of miners.

Natasha looked at Chu Mu and said softly:

"There are many, many examples like this in the Lower Zone. It is really not easy to maintain it until now. I once wondered, if the ending is doomed to destruction, is there any point in persisting?"

After a pause, Natasha held Chu Mu's hand:

"You know how I convinced myself? I said, wait a little longer, maybe the kid will come back. When he comes back, he can't let him see a destroyed lower area.

"Fortunately, I waited for you for 13 years. On the verge of collapse in the lower zone, you came back and brought hope."

After finishing speaking, she gently hugged Chu Mu.

What she wanted to tell Chu Mu was that all the waiting was worth it just because Chu Mu came back.

……

The children in the clinic were picked up one after another, so Natasha closed the clinic and put up the sign of going out of business.

She will join the action tomorrow.

As for tonight, she booked a room for Chu Mu at the Goethe Hotel.

Seeing Natasha coming with Chu Mu, the proprietress of the hotel, Goldie, was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized.

She said excitedly:

"I remember you, boy! You were the little hero! Hey, I still have your dress here."

In order for the old dean to accept the upper room, Gotti took away the worthless bloody coat from Chu Mu as an exchange.

At that time, Goldie didn't think too much.

But the abnormality of that bloody coat later made Goldie a little startled.

After all these years, the blood on that dress is still as bright as when it was first stained.

Goldie was puzzled. She had gone to the orphanage to look for Chu Mu, but found out that the child had disappeared.

This matter is over.

Now 13 years have passed, and Chu Mu reappeared.

His appearance didn't change much.

This made Goldi even more surprised.

She secretly felt that there was something supernatural about Chu Mu.

However, with Natasha here, Chu Mu remained silent, and Gotti didn't ask any more questions.

She arranged an upper room for Chu Mu, which was the same room back then.

After the lower area was sealed off, the luxury rooms provided to merchants in the upper area also became uninterested.

The layout of the house is still the same as before.

Goldie changed the quilt and sheets for this place before leaving.
