Chapter 249 Crisis Public Relations
Although Lao Jiu and his wife were persuaded to return home, the video of them crying at the door soon spread on the Internet.
"Mom, my uncle Jiu's incident caused quite a stir. Have you seen the video?"
Ruyi saw the video of Laojiu and his wife at home, and quickly called Darong.
"No, what happened?" Darong hadn't seen the video yet and didn't know why the matter had escalated.
"My aunt Jiu cried in the video, saying that none of you have received any government relief supplies, that her family has run out of food and has nothing to eat, and she also said a lot of things that blamed the government for not doing anything. This incident has caused quite a stir."
Although Darong and Zhong Yunxing didn't hear clearly what Lao Jiu's wife was crying about at the door, the people living on the lower floors who were recording the video recorded everything she said clearly.
At that time, when the Yutian government was interviewed by the media, it did announce the supply and distribution of materials, and the local media in the southern suburbs also reported it in a high-profile manner.
The accompanying picture even indicated that the supplies neatly arranged on the ground were distributed to Zhong Mama's community.
However, Zhong Yunxing and Darong, who live in the community, know best that they have never received any free items from beginning to end.
While Lao Jiu's wife was crying, she disclosed and listed all this information one by one.
This incident quickly attracted support from residents in many surrounding communities, and the video began to spread wildly in various forms on online platforms.
The emergence of another voice pushed the whole matter directly to the official level.
In a public media photo of the southern suburbs, a netizen directly pointed out that one of the piles of items placed on the ground was purchased by himself and put together waiting to be delivered to households.
The netizen not only posted pictures of items with the same packaging as reported as proof, he even posted his purchase receipt and payment details directly online.
This netizen's remarks directly pushed the whole incident to the forefront. For a time, government departments had to conduct emergency crisis public relations and defined the media in the southern suburbs that participated in the reporting as a private public account.
At the same time, Yutian News, which had quoted the information from the public account, also clarified and apologized to the public at the same time, saying that the culprit of all the incidents was the negative consequences caused by the private media's imprecise, non-serious and non-objective attitude...
"It's ok as long as Laojiu and his wife are not involved. Life is already difficult, so don't let anything else happen."
Darong looked at the sincere apologies in the news and the severe accountability of private media, and said with some fear.
Zhong Yunxing just sighed and said nothing.
This time the epidemic lockdown lasted until New Year’s Eve. People were locked down in panic and released in numbness. Although it was a long wait, it was somewhat comforting to be released during the New Year.
"Brother, we won't be going over for the New Year this year. The situation is so inconsistent right now, so let's not gather together."
The day the lockdown was lifted was New Year’s Eve. Zhong Yunxing received a call from Zhong Yunsheng early in the morning, and soon after that, Zhong Yunhong also called. The meaning of their calls was roughly the same, that everyone should not gather together, and should just celebrate the New Year at home.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. What if you come and it's blocked again?"
When Mother Zhong heard that the children would not come, she was very understanding. After being blocked twice in a row, she was afraid that she would not be able to cope with any disturbance.
That year, Zhong Yunxing and Darong were the only ones who spent the Spring Festival with Zhong's mother at home. Although it was simple, it was also very warm.
"I miss An An so much. It's been such a long time since I hugged him."
After the clock struck midnight, Darong and Zhong Yunxing finished eating dumplings with Zhong's mother, then they cleaned up and lay down on the bed to rest.
Zhong Yunxing looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window and suddenly missed Ruyi and An'an very much.
"Didn't we just have a video call? Don't call the kids. Just wait a little longer." Darong simply comforted Zhong Yunxing.
Although she missed her children very much, she was still worried and did not dare to let down her guard. After all, they had just been unblocked and then blocked again after one day.
Early in the morning on the first day of the New Year, Mother Zhong's cell phone began to receive various New Year greetings calls.
Darong also received a call from Xiaoying. After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, they inevitably talked about Linlin's situation.
Although Darong always listened to Ruyi and did not tell anyone about her encounter with Linlin, Xiaoying still found out that she was delivering food.
"In fact, I already knew about it. I met her once before, but Ruyi said that Linlin might not want her family to know, so I never told her."
After hearing Xiaoying bring it up, Darong admitted that she had known about Linlin delivering food for a long time.
"Of course not. She suddenly went from being a young lady to a delivery girl. She must be feeling disappointed."
After hearing what Darong said, Xiaoying responded with something in response.
"Linlin hasn't come home yet?"
"No, it seems she doesn't do the delivery job anymore. It's too hard. She's not the kind of person who can endure hardship. Just look at how much other deliverymen earn online. Those kids all work their asses off to make it. Linlin has never experienced hardship since she was a child. How can she persist?"
"If she doesn't go home, where is she?"
In fact, Darong also guessed that Linlin might not be able to work for long, but she didn't expect her to quit so soon.
"Rent a house. She doesn't have her own house either, and she's with that guy. They seem to have rented a shared house in the city."
When Darong heard that Linlin now had to share a house, she felt very upset. The way this child had ended up happening had made her husband's family a laughing stock.
"Your sister-in-law keeps shaking all day long. I don't know why she is so beautiful."
Thinking of Xiao Ling's smug look when she posted Doudou videos every day, Darong felt disgusted. Her child was now living such a life, and she really couldn't understand what Xiao Ling was so proud of.
"Huh, that's right. I heard from our mom the other day that Linlin came back once before the lockdown, and my sister-in-law forced Linlin to remarry, but ended up forcing Linlin away again. Do you think there's any chance she'll remarry?"
Darong and Xiaoying chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. Darong could never forgive Xiaoling for what happened to Linlin.
From the time Linlin started dating to the time she got married and then to the time she divorced, Xiao Ling, as a mother, has always played the role of the culprit.
Because she was greedy for wealth, she insisted on forcing Linlin to marry into that family, and repeatedly instigated Linlin to fight for power in her husband's family, causing Linlin to completely lose the love and trust of her husband's family.
Later, when Linlin was about to divorce, she not only did not comfort or understand her, but instead forced Linlin to admit her mistakes and ask for remarriage many times. A mother like Xiao Ling is someone Darong simply cannot understand.
