Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Trash need to stay in the trash can.

Bai Meiyue was speechless when she heard the words of her brother. She raised her hand and said to Bai Jixuan, “Second Brother, I know that you are worried about me. But can you leave this matter to me and Master Lei? I know that you want to help me but we can’t rush too much, alright? What if we annoy the Lei family and they refuse to give us anything?”

“They dare—”

“Why won’t they dare?” Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes as she handed the groceries that she had brought with her to Bai Jixuan and explained, “Their family is the richest family in the city, maybe even in the nation. Do you think that we can threaten them? If they get angry, then they might even send us out of the city. So you might as well take it easy and leave this matter to me.”

“After all, whether or not I want to marry Master Lei, the decision lies with me, right?”

Bai Jixuan wanted to quibble. His thought process was simple. Since Lei Qian ruined his sister, even if he did it when the two of them were intoxicated, that man could not shirk responsibility!

But compared to him, Bai Zhan was much wiser. He noticed that Bai Meiyue was running short on patience and then said to his younger brother, “Meiyue is right, Jixuan. The final decision is in her hands, so leave the matter between her and Xiao Qian.”

“Humph,” Bai Jixuan snorted before walking to the kitchen. “Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian. You call him so nicely; does that man even deserve it?”

Mother Bai rolled her eyes when she heard the words of her son. She then turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her, “Meiyue, even if you don’t want to marry Xiao Qian, you should take a look at his injuries. I think I heard someone sobbing when I went to the balcony to get some fresh air.”

As she spoke, she stood up and brought some tea eggs and jerky that she had brought from the village.

Bai Meiyue was speechless when she heard the words of her mother; she knew that the reason her mother was asking her to go and see Lei Qian was not because she wanted Bai Meiyue to ask about Lei Qian’s condition; it was because she wanted Bai Meiyue to show her face in front of the Lei family as well as check whether Lei Qian was really injured or not.

Sure enough, the older the ginger, the spicier.

She rolled her eyes but didn’t quibble with Mother Bai, as she knew that if she didn’t go, then her mother would knock on Lei Qian’s door on her own.

Bai Meiyue picked up the bowl and was about to head out when her phone started to vibrate like crazy. Frowning, she paused and put the bowl down before taking out her phone.

Surprisingly, she found that she was tagged in the owner group of the apartment building.

Though Bai Meiyue had a feeling what this was about, she still opened the messages, and sure enough, someone named Zhao Yulan had tagged her just now.

Deluxe—1001 [I have a suggestion: those who have vehicles that can drive through these deep waters should help those who cannot drive outside in this heavy rain. We cannot get out of the building or buy any supplies. So someone has to help us.]

While some in the group said that Zhao Yulan was being shameless, some supported her.

Bai Meiyue scrolled down the messages and found the messages that had tagged her.

Deluxe –1001 : [ I saw this vehicle drive out of the parking lot this evening, I guess that this belongs to the owner of one of the penthouses, as there were some really good modifications.]

She then tagged Bai Meiyue, Lei Qian, and another resident who owned the third and last penthouse.

[I don’t know who owns this car but can you let us take a ride in it when you are going to the supermarket the next time? Of course I promise to pay you but I don’t have much money so I can only give you the original taxi fare.]

[ If that is not possible, then you can also sell us the groceries that you have brought with you, of course at the usual market price. After all, we are your neighbours; in the future, when such a thing happens, then we will be the one who will help you. ]

[ A good neighbour is much better than distant relatives. You cannot watch us slowly starve to death. ]

Bai Meiyue was about to reply to this shameless woman when suddenly Lei Qian’s ID went active and someone started to scold Zhao Yulan.

Deluxe—5001 [ Who are you and why do you have skin thicker than that of a rhino? Who do you think you are to make such demands? Why don’t you go out and see what kind of dangers are roaming around the streets and say these words again! ]

[Besides, do you even know how expensive things are now? I just bought a bag of potatoes for two hundred yuan. Do you want me to punch you in the face until your skin gets thinner? How dare you even make that suggestion? And even if these things were cheaper, I wouldn’t have sold it to you because I bought them after exchanging my life for it. ]

[Your skin is so thick that even mosquitoes takes you as their mortal enemy! ]

[ If you are a woman, then act like one; don’t act like a scheming hyena!]

Bai Meiyue arched her brows when she saw the rapid way Lei Qian had scolded Zhao Yulan. She knew Lei Qian too well to know that this was certainly not Lei Qian.

It seemed like some hot pepper had taken over his ID.

Bai Meiyue admired this hot pepper very much.

However, even though Zhao Yulan had been retaliated against, she might as well deal with this woman to show that she was not someone Zhao Yulan could offend.

She tagged Zhao Yulan and sent a message to goad that woman.

[If you are trash, then take yourself to the trash can; don’t disgust me.]
