Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute-Chapter 138 - 137: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (11)

Chapter 138 -137: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (11)

Her elder sister had left behind just one child, and as far as family from her mother’s side was concerned, there was only Tang Zelin left for her, since both elders of the Song Family had passed away a few years earlier.

If she hadn’t experienced the flood disaster, it might have been different, but precisely because she had escaped from the heavily affected area to seek refuge, she was firmly against Tang Zelin’s decision to return to City C at this time.

“With so many officers and soldiers, one more or one less of you won’t make a difference. You’re already gasping after just walking around the garden downstairs, and yet you want to go back to the troops now? I think you don’t want to go back to help with the disaster relief, you’re going back to experience being rescued by the officers and soldiers!”

Song’s aunt was sharp-tongued indeed, quickly rendering Tang Zelin too intimidated to provoke her further.

The young girl Zhan Yue sat on the sofa nearby, giggling as she watched her mother scold her cousin.

Tang Zelin laughed helplessly and asked Zhan Yue, “When did your aunt become so formidable?”

“Cousin, you just found out? You’re really out of the loop! Even before the flood, Mom was the leader of the dance team in our community!” Zhan Yue laughed.

Her great uncle had taken their family from the disaster area to the relatively stable Province B, for which the Zhan Family was very grateful.

Zhan Yue liked her cousin in the military; she’d always heard how impressive he was, but she was too young at the time to understand the busy dealings within his military life. The last time they met, she was reportedly still a little toddler with a backpack headed to kindergarten. Before she knew it, at their next meeting, she had turned into a blossoming young lady.

She had been slightly anxious upon arriving.

A young girl’s mind is always difficult to understand. Before the disaster, her family’s financial status wasn’t as good as Tang’s in Province B, but they were well-off, with no worries about food and clothes.

After the disaster, they were homeless. Although Zhan’s parents had some money to rent a place or move to a stable area to start over,

with so much of the world now problematic, who knew where peace could be found? Perhaps a place that seemed stable now could be gone in the next second.

Amid the disaster, human hearts were in turmoil, longing for kinship more than ever.

All the relatives on Zhan’s father’s side had passed away, or even if there were a few left in their hometown, they hadn’t been in contact for many years.

It was even more so on the side of the Song Family. The eldest daughter of the Song Family, who was also Tang Zelin’s mother, had passed away early, as had Tang Husheng’s in-laws.

All things considered, the only true relatives left were indeed only the Tang Family.

Zhan Yue, with a tumultuous heart, traveled north with her parents. She had visited before, staying for a few days, and she knew the conditions of her great uncle’s and cousin’s household were very good.

This time, would they despise her family?

Would they see them as trouble, as a burden?

The young girl was full of anxiety. Part of it was the panic experienced during the disaster, part of it was the concern over the unknown future, and a small part of it harbored the delicate and sensitive self-esteem found in young girls.

After all, no one wants to be disliked.

However, the Tang Family wasn’t like that. As soon as they arrived in Province B, Tang Husheng had sent someone to bring them home. Since their arrival, she had only seen her great uncle once; he was as busy as Superman.

And Tang Zelin, her cousin, had also surprised her. Despite the age gap of over a decade, she found this older cousin to be an interesting person. After spending a few days together, the initial awkwardness faded away, replaced by the warm affection that slowly grows among close kin.

Zhan Yue was delighted, and gradually, like a blossoming flower, her youthful vitality began to show.
