Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Busted

Bai Meiyue sucked in a breath and shook her head. She randomly made an excuse, “You don’t have what I want.”

After she finished speaking, she turned on her feet and walked to her inflatable boat. It was a good thing that she didn’t take out the motorboat or else she would have a hard time explaining its origin to Bai Feng.

“Wait,” Bai Feng saw her heading to the small inflatable boat and said to her, “Pack it up and come with me; I will bring you to the apartment building.”

Bai Meiyue paused and turned to look at Bai Feng; she looked at his motorboat and nodded. Who would refuse a chance to slack off? Not her who was carrying a child. She packed the inflatable boat and climbed up in the motorboat while watching Bai Feng tucking the bag of supplies in a corner.

She curled her lips in a smirk and asked, “Not going to eat anything?”

“No,” Bai Feng steered the boat to the right. “I will eat after I have distributed the supplies.”

When Bai Meiyue heard his response, she snorted inwardly. This was the reason she dared to poison these supplies; she knew that Bai Feng would not eat a single bite without distributing the supplies to the Bai family and those greedy bastards wouldn’t leave anything behind for him.

How many times had she brought supplies for that family and how many times had they left something for her? Bai Meiyue was very clear about their virtue.

Thus, she was not worried about Bai Feng being poisoned. The chances of this man ingesting the poison were lower than Bai Xue turning into a new leaf. Who asked him to be so honest?

However, Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything. It didn’t matter to her; Bai Feng could do whatever he wanted. After all, he was a grown man and not a child. He saw what Bai Qingshi did to her even after years of hard work and affection and yet firmly adhered to the teachings of his childhood.

If he was willing to be blind and deaf, then Bai Meiyue was going to let him do what he thought was right.

When they returned to the Sunshine Deluxe apartment building, it happened to be six o’clock in the morning. Bai Meiyue climbed up the stairs without looking at Bai Feng, who wanted to say something to her. Of course, she knew that Bai Feng was going to ask her if she wanted to talk with Bai Qingshi; thus, she didn’t wait for him to open his mouth.

After all, with the hatred that she had for that family, Bai Meiyue was worried that she would stab those bastards to death in one go. This wouldn’t do. All the suffering that her son and she suffered, Bai Qingshi, Chu Xia, and Bai Xue hadn’t suffered even half of them.

How could they die so soon?

They need to live and die every day until they pay back the interest that they have accumulated.

Bai Meiyue was lost in her thoughts when she entered the house; thus, she didn’t notice something amiss. It wasn’t until she heard someone clear their throat that she raised her head and looked at her mother, who was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed in front.

Uh oh, she was dead.

Bai Meiyue looked down at her new clothes, which were dirty and covered with blood and bone debris. Her face was red due to the chilly wind outside. And her pants were dripping with water and she was holding a knife whose blade was covered with a black tar-like substance that smelt so bad that it made the entire room stink. Even if she wanted to pretend that she was staying at home, with so much evidence, Bai Meiyue couldn’t do it.

In the end, she touched the tip of her nose guiltily.

“Mom, why are you awake so early?”

“It is six in the morning,” sneered Mother Bai.

Mother Bai then got to her feet and walked to where Bai Meiyue was standing; seeing the condition of her daughter, she scrunched up her nose and said to Bai Meiyue, “Go and wash yourself; just take a look at your clothes. It seems like you came home after robbing graves.”

Bai Meiyue lowered her head and then walked inside the house. As soon as she climbed up the stairs, she met with Bai Jixuan, who looked at her and teased, “Busted.”

Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes when she heard her brother teasing her; however, she smiled flatteringly when she saw Bai Zhan coming out of his room with his two sons. She didn’t dare to treat her eldest brother carelessly as she did to her second brother.

Her elder brother raised his brows as he took her appearance and shook his head. “You should have taken me with you now—I have no way to save you.”

Bai Zhan was not lying. If he had gone with Bai Meiyue, he could at least have said that he was the one who brought Bai Meiyue along with him. But now that Bai Meiyue went alone, what could he say to calm down their mother?

Thus, when Bai Meiyue went downstairs after she finished washing up, she found her mother muttering angrily.

“You are a girl; why do you have to run around on the street at such dangerous times? If you want something, then tell your brothers. They will bring it for you; why did you have to take such risks?”

“It was not dangerous.” Bai Meiyue was not telling a lie; after all, she could handle something like this with ease.

Upon hearing the words that her daughter said, Mother Bai bristled even more. She saw the blood on the clothes of her daughter and noticed the thick coat of the rotten blood on the knife; how could it not be dangerous?

“Do you think that your skin has turned into iron just because you have awakened?” Mother Bai scolded. “You are still made of flesh, Meiyue!”
