Evening time.
The sky was dark.
Chief Luo carried a bag of grain into the house, stuck it onto the ground, and gestured to the people inside:
"Take this to the back and cook it up. Make sure to seal the kitchen door tight to keep in the heat. If someone sees, it could cause unnecessary trouble."
"Got it."
Madam Luo walked over and tugged his sleeve:
"Come with me for a moment."
"What's wrong?" Chief Luo looked surprised and followed his wife to the corner of the backyard:
"What's so urgent that we can't discuss it in front of everyone?"
"Hmph!"
Madam Luo snorted softly:
"How can I speak openly? Our family has six people, and Officer Qi's family has five. Do you think that's not enough? How long will this little bit of grain last?"
"Don't say that." Chief Luo shook his head:
"I've made plenty of enemies over the years as Chief of Police. If it weren't for Officer Qi's support, who knows if we would still be alive now."
"Besides..."
"We're living in Officer Qi's house."
