Chapter 77: Don’t Show Sympathy
The two women were just as shocked as Lu Tao when they heard what he said. They couldn’t believe that a fellow human being’s morals could decay to such an extent.
How could anyone be so mean and so lacking in empathy? How is she different from a killer with no feelings for his victims?
"I thought your sister-in-law was being too overcautious when she told us not to open the door for anyone or give anyone anything even if they brought crying children with them.
If someone could just pretend to be pitiful to get some supplies so that he or she doesn’t have to risk their lives to look for supplies outside while others like your brother and sister-in-law disregarded their safety to obtain those things, then there is indeed no need to be merciful." Li Yunjia became angry after the shock subsided.
Even though her son and daughter-in-law had awakened superpowers and could probably also fight, she was still holding her heart in her hands because she was afraid that they wouldn’t come back.
She keeps thinking that if something happens to them, she wouldn’t be able to live anymore. If they bring back supplies in such a situation and someone else feels entitled to swindle them, then she would be the first to disagree.
She had not thought about it before and had the same mentality as before. If a neighbor borrows something, just give it to them. You can get more later.
But after hearing this story, her mentality had changed. How could something that her son and daughter-in-law exchanged by risking their lives be given away so casually? If someone was starving to death, they should go out and look for food themselves.
No one was obligated to take care of another in a world without morals. So, she was going to heed to her daughter-in-law’s words and ignore anyone who comes to borrow things even if they bring crying children or dying elderly.
