Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Public Enemy of the Entire Building

"Um, Brother Song, Sister Yuan, you two also need to be extra cautious."

Those people are no good.

They target the area below our building because they know you’re tough to mess with, but Sun Yian is the sneakiest of them all, so we must be wary!"

Zhang Kaiyang’s words were spot on, and Jhiang Yuan deeply agreed.

"I know, we all need to be careful.

The world has changed, people are not what they used to be, all morals have degenerated."

A simple sigh, laden with significance.

"Don’t worry, Sister Yuan, since this is life, we can’t change it, we can only try to adapt."

"Yes, Mianmian is right, we all need to put in effort, keep pushing, and live well, that’s stronger than anything else."

"Yeah, right, there’s some floor wax left from last time, should we apply it on the stairs leading to the nineteenth floor?"

Jhiang Yuan’s suggestion immediately won approval.

"Sure, let’s wax the right side as we go up, leaving the part going down for ourselves, what do you guys think?"

"Sure, why not? In critical times, having something is better than nothing, it’s a kind of extra protection."

As soon as they decided, they started working. After half a day of discussion, aside from defense, there were no other good solutions.

Jhiang Yuan was distressed inside, but faced with such a terrifying environment, she could only rely on herself and push forward.

All this talk of seasonal sadness was completely nonsensical.

Song Yi went back to get some stuff, and she and Ye Mianmian prepared the mop, which they had taken from downstairs last time.

This time it came in handy again, not just for the stairs, but also for applying on the entrance.

The effect on porcelain far exceeded that on a cement surface.

After finishing these tasks, the two of them headed back. After all this hustle, it was nearly midnight.

As they reached the hallway, Song Yi suddenly called out to her.

"What’s up?"

"Nothing much, Jhiang Yuan, just that you seemed really fierce in that argument today."

Oh!

"Do you think I have the potential to be a shrew?"

Song Yi laughed, shedding his usual icy demeanor.

"It’s pretty good!"

"What do you mean ’it’s pretty good’? Seriously, I’m speechless."

Jhiang Yuan gave him a look, realizing she preferred him a bit colder.

"About today’s incident, if it happens again, it will be a fierce battle.

Next time you go out, be more vigilant and carry weapons with you."

This was a serious concern, and she couldn’t ignore it.

"Yeah, you too, we should all be more careful. The twentieth floor was just an appetizer, and since they’ve been repelled this time, I always feel like they’re brewing something big."

Jhiang Yuan felt worried inside, and that feeling was growing stronger.

"Exactly, there are no more good days ahead!"

There was an indescribable emotion in Song Yi’s eyes, something she couldn’t understand.

"Song Yi, be honest with me, do you know something?"

He gave a bitter smile and then returned to his usual demeanor.

"Whether I know or not, what difference does it make? Life has turned out this way, there’s nothing left to look forward to.

Let’s head back, it’s getting late."

With that, he began walking back to his apartment.

This was the first time; he usually let her go back first.

Jhiang Yuan shook her head and hurried home, sure enough, her parents were still awake.

"Darling, how did it go?"

"It’s all right now, the families of those who were fighting over our liquefied gas cylinders earlier have come to seek justice."

Upon hearing this, Jhiang Xingzhi immediately understood.

It made sense, after all. It was normal for them to seek an explanation after losing someone in their family.

Ignoring the situation would have been abnormal indeed.

"Oh, my dear, how did you all handle it? Was there a fight?"

"No, under the current circumstances, they weren’t here to demand our lives but just wanted some food."

"Ah, that’s good then. Maybe just give them some, everyone’s struggling."

Qin Yue was constantly sighing after hearing about the day’s events.

Giving them something was better than having them harbor resentment and act violently.

"Mom, what a terrifying thought this is.

They have nothing left, and you think they can let go of such deep hatred just for some supplies?

It’s just a temporary measure in these special circumstances. Believe me, if these people come once, they will come a second time.

And it will get more excessive; the hatred is insurmountable."

Jhiang Xingzhi looked at Qin Yue, completely understanding Jhiang Yuan’s current feelings.

"Previously, it was their wrongful intentions, they openly robbed us, and they were the ones who made the first move; we can’t blame anyone.

If we hadn’t resisted, it would have been our girls lying downstairs."

Qin Yue felt a shiver run through her, wondering how things had escalated to this point.

"I know, we can’t afford to be soft-hearted, but like this, we’ll become the enemies of everyone in the building."

Becoming the public enemy of the building seemed to be the case.

"Mom, we have supplies, and that makes us a target of envy.

It would be the same if it were someone else.

People’s greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, why don’t they consider how we managed to get these supplies?"

"Exactly, you mustn’t be merciful like women often are; our girl risked her life to get them.

Their starting point is flawed and wanting something for nothing is not deserving of sympathy."

As Jhiang Xingzhi said this, she felt relieved; no matter how soft her mother’s heart was, it couldn’t outdo her cajoling.

"I’m just afraid that these people will come back in force in the next few days. We’ve offended Sun Yian, and he’s not a good person.

Dad, mom, we all need to stay alert. That intercom needs to be on all the time, so we’re not completely in the dark if something happens."

She had previously given one to Jhiang Xingzhi, but her father, fearing it would run up the electricity bill, had kept it turned off.

"Alright, don’t worry, my dear. Your mom and I have lived through a lot already and can handle whatever comes our way.

Go back to sleep now; it’s so cold, and Xiao Nuan shouldn’t be left alone."

Qin Yue had been sleeping with her until she heard she had returned and came out.

"Mm, you two head to bed soon as well."

Jhiang Yuan came back, took off her clothes, and crawled into bed.

Today nobody spelled it out, but there was growing discontent with the people in Building 13.

If they couldn’t get along well, they would have to strike first, waiting for them to gang up would be problematic.

Thinking this, she felt quite uneasy.

There was enough stuff at home, but not enough money; if she didn’t go out, she wouldn’t be satisfied and feared it would be even harder to gather cash later.

But then again, she couldn’t be at ease with leaving home either.

Quite the dilemma, she thought, deciding to put it off until tomorrow to see the specific situation.

Xiao Nuan was sleeping soundly, which made her feel a rare sense of contentment.

Her daughter was her ultimate line in the sand; she had to be well taken care of.

"Jhiang Yuan, get up, there’s a situation, Jhiang Yuan, please respond."

She was half-asleep when she heard the voice through the intercom; it was Song Yi.
