Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Installing Doors on the 20th Floor

Before, she had bought some locks, just in case there was an urgent need.

She couldn’t remember where she put them and after searching for a long time, she only found two.

These locks were the simplest kind, coming with five keys.

After getting the locks, Jhiang Yuan left.

Qin Yue saw her in such a hurry and wanted to ask what was going on, but the person was already gone without a trace.

Song Yi hadn’t expected Jhiang Yuan to come knocking on the door again so soon.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, I just thought about it, we brought back a few door panels before, didn’t we?

Let’s pick one and lock the stairwell on the 20th floor as well, what do you think?"

Song Yi looked at her, somewhat speechless.

"You forgot that each floor has its own security door, just lock that and it’s fine."

"That won’t do, that door is just for show, look at ours, it’s already deformed.

Not to mention it’s not safe, having an additional layer also adds more security."

Song Yi frowned but didn’t say anything else.

"Look, I brought two locks over.

Let’s go, let’s go down and take a look, I think the people in 2001 would agree."

The people in the building were also on tenterhooks about the possibility of someone coming to seek revenge.

For both households, this was a good thing.

Moreover, he was frequently trying to make nice with everyone, hoping to make connections.

"Alright, then let’s go down!"

When they reached the 20th floor, Ye Mianmian had just lain down when she heard the knocking and hurried over to see what was going on.

Seeing that the people through the peephole were Jhiang Yuan and Song Yi, she felt relieved and immediately opened the door.

"Brother Song, Sister Yuan, come in quick."

Jhiang Yuan didn’t beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly.

"That would be great, having an extra door installed would be the best; then no one will come to disturb us."

The corridors in their community were interconnected, but at the stairwell of each floor, there was a fire door.

However, this was installed by the property management and the quality was not very good, and it had protective bars on top.

Who knows what they were thinking calling it a fire door.

Usually, no one would lock that door.

After all, it was for communal use. If the neighbors were easy to talk to, it was fine, but if they weren’t—

Then there would be trouble with keys being available or not available.

"Hey, it really is you guys coming down; I thought I was dreaming."

Zhang Kaiyang came out from inside, obviously just waking up.

Because of his injury, Ye Mianmian had been taking good care of him lately, typically not letting him do anything.

Just now, his condition was the most serious.

Ye Mianmian wasn’t well either, having been pushed down and hitting her head on the corner of a fire hydrant.

Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothing, so it wasn’t a big deal, but it left a cut and broke the skin.

So, she didn’t mention it, not wanting to worry Jhiang Yuan.

"We were thinking of installing a door on your floor as well, after this incident, probably your doorway won’t have peace either."

"Exactly, being harassed all the time is unbearable for anyone!"

Zhang Kaiyang spoke candidly, expressing his heartfelt feelings.

"Alright, then I’ll go ask the neighbors next door. Song Yi, you go with Zhang Kaiyang to choose a door."

"No need, the door that was taken down during the renovation at my place is still around."

Jhiang Yuan raised an eyebrow; Song Yi was quite generous.

"I was worried just now that the ones we brought back before wouldn’t be of good quality, but now it’s settled. Let’s go, time to get to work."

"Yes, we’re taking advantage of Brother Song again. How about coming over to my place for hot pot tonight? There’s still plenty of cured meat and ham."

Ye Mianmian’s suggestion immediately gained Zhang Kaiyang’s endorsement.

The experience last time was just so good, it left me endlessly craving for more!

"I’m all for it with both hands raised. Ever since we ate last time, I’ve been thinking about when we can do it again. It was just too good."

"We’d better not. It’s way too extravagant.

Look at those people in the building, some even lost their lives over a bit of food.

Though we have some food stored, we should still conserve it. We never know how long these times will last."

Jhiang Yuan had been harmed by food in her past life and now knew even better the value of cherishing what she had.

"Don’t worry, Sister Yuan. We can just indulge once in a while. The last few days have been so harrowing, we deserve to treat ourselves, let’s eat!"

Zhang Kaiyang even put on an act of cuteness that time.

Jhiang Yuan’s face was covered with black lines, completely unimpressed by this live-for-today attitude.

Zhang Kaiyang pulled on Song Yi’s arm, and seeing the situation in front of him, this hot pot was becoming an inevitable must-have.

"Then let’s eat, Jhiang Yuan. Everyone’s craving it, and it’ll be a nice way to relax, right?"

Oh!

Why ask her like that, as if she’s so unapproachable?

"Ah, there’s just no dealing with you guys!"

"Yes! Sister Yuan, you agreed."

"Fine, I agreed. No use, now I’m craving it too."

Zhang Kaiyang said and deliberately wiped the corner of his mouth.

The group couldn’t help but laugh at him. What a joker!

"Alright, first things first."

...

Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian went next door to knock. At first, there was no response, so they just waited patiently beside the door.

A minute later, the door opened.

"What brings you two here, neighbors?"

The man of the house came out, evidently after having checked through the peephole.

"Here’s the thing, we’re considering putting up a door in the hallway and wanted to get your opinion."

She got straight to the point.

"That’s right, big brother. The situation in Building 13 isn’t great, and we’ve offended quite a few people.

If we put up a door, it would be safer for both our families."

The man nodded urgently, without any objection to the suggestion.

"Alright, that sounds good. When are you planning to install it? I’ll come over to help."

No sooner had he spoken than Song Yi came downstairs carrying a door.

"Whoa, watch your step..."

The man was not standoffish at all and went straight over to help carry it, clearly a person who knew how to lend a hand.

The situation here wasn’t too complicated; the original door was of poor quality to begin with.

You could reach in from the outside through the protective bars, and it could be opened with or without a key.

Jhiang Yuan had Song Yi install an extra latch, so they could add another lock.

There were five keys in total, one for each person, which was exactly enough.

Song Yi’s door was installed on the inside, and it had a combination lock, which was very convenient.

Mostly the men were doing the work, while Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian went back to prepare the food. Getting ready for the hot pot dinner would take quite a while.

She went back to get some vegetables, while Qin Yue felt uncomfortable about eating at someone else’s place.

And besides, the current situation was special.

Jhiang Yuan understood this, so she took more items to make up for it.

A bunch of bok choy, a dish of shiitake and oyster mushrooms, a handful of noodles she had rolled herself, as well as some dried kelp strips and daylily buds.

Xiao Nuan followed them as well, while the old couple decided not to join the bustle.

Song Yi also brought over quite a bit of food because he felt that just showing up empty-handed to eat wasn’t right.

"Sister Yuan, what are you doing with all this? We have plenty here too. Please take it back..."
