Cheng Jili helped Ruan Ning correct her standing posture and also made a simple exercise schedule for her so that she could proceed step by step and not hurt herself.
The next day, Ruan Ning continued to exercise in the room.
It was unusually lively downstairs.
There were 25 people who escaped from the villa, a total of 7 families. They included old and young people. They didn’t bring much food with them, so they were about to starve.
Moreover, the living environment in the corridor was poor and it was difficult to go to the toilet.
At first, they went to residents’ homes to borrow toilets, but after going there too often, people became unhappy. After all, there were not even conditions for flushing the toilets and they had to collect rainwater.
As the water accumulated deeper and deeper, water began to seep out of the toilets of the residents on the lower floors, so no one could use them.
There was no place to go to the toilet, no place to wash up, and they were starving. Drinking rainwater caused diarrhea.
The atmosphere among the crowd became increasingly tense and depressing.
At this moment, a man surnamed Qin, who was in his fifties, stepped forward and said that he wanted to hold a meeting so that everyone could work together to overcome the difficulties.
The meeting was scheduled to be held on the 14th floor. The original residents on the second, third, and fourth floors were also invited.
Before the meeting, Uncle Qin borrowed a broom from someone else and asked his wife to sweep the dust on the stairs on the 14th floor, making it look nice and tidy.
In fact, most people were disdainful of holding meetings. They didn’t think that there was anything that could be accomplished by getting together.
But there was strength in numbers, and who knew, maybe they could do something by taking advantage of the situation.
So when the meeting was held, every household sent a representative.
Uncle Qin stood on the highest step and took the lead in introducing himself: “Hello, everyone, I will talk about the situation today. My name is Qin Ruide, and I hold a leadership position in our street. Now that everyone is in such a difficult situation, I think everyone should unite!”
Someone asked: “How to unite?”
Qin Ruide said: “First, we should form an organization. My proposal is to call it a Self-Help Association.”
No one spoke.
Qin Ruide was satisfied. His slightly chubby face showed high spirits: “Since no one objects, let’s set up a Self-Help Association first. The main purpose of the Self-Help Association is unity and self-help.”
A white-haired aunt said impatiently: “After talking so much, is there any specific solution?”
Qin Ruide said: “Of course, there are ways. The most important thing now is food. I suggest that we should do it in two steps.”
“First, we should centrally manage food and give priority to the elderly and children.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s faces were filled with excitement. Some looked at each other in disbelief, some were secretly delighted, and some were secretly cursing.
A man in his twenties said dissatisfiedly: “What if there are no elderly or children at home? Are we just giving away the food for nothing?”
Qin Ruide shook his head: “How can it be given away for free? My friend, shouldn’t you protect the elderly and children first in difficult circumstances?”
The man said directly: “Then, I won’t do it. It’s impossible!”
As soon as he said this, a man in his sixties at the scene blushed and said, “Why are you like this, young man? Why don’t you help the old man in this situation?”
“No love!”
The man sneered.
The remaining people started talking at once, especially the original residents of the high-rise buildings on the second, third, and fourth floors. They had brought all their food out because they lived close together. Now they were asked to hand it in. Was that a joke?
The resident on the second floor whispered: “This is unreliable. We should leave immediately. They just want to steal our things.”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was becoming increasingly tense, Qin Ruide quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
No one paid any attention to him.
Qin Ruide had no choice but to pick up the empty mineral water bottle in his hand and smash it hard against the stair rail. When everyone finally quieted down, he hurriedly said, “Listen to me first. What I just said is only the first step. There is also a second step.”
Qin Ruide: “The second step, and the reason why we centrally manage food, is that we must actively seek help from other residents and let them contribute their love.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.
