Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea

"No, it’s not like that, not like that..."

The old lady’s tears flowed like rivers, and Jhiang Yuan felt that it would take less than a minute for her to freeze up.

It seemed like she was somewhat mocking herself, as if all her strength had been drained from her.

"Mianmian, close the door!"

She did not wish to be utterly ruthless; in such matters, there was no clear right or wrong.

The consequence of endless mutual vengeance was that both parties were unhappy.

"Okay!"

Ye Mianmian hurriedly closed the door, and the old lady quickly came to her senses, following up by knocking on the door again, although with less force than before.

It was evident that her spirit was not the same as before.

The two went straight to the twentieth floor and were somewhat surprised to see two people in the hallway.

"Hello..."

Zhang Kaiyang awkwardly extended his hand to greet them.

This was essentially eavesdropping, albeit indirectly, but the two girls did not seem to mind.

"Hey, why didn’t you two go upstairs? It’s so cold out here!"

"Isn’t it because we were afraid you two might be in danger? Sister Yuan, you really were fierce, that old lady must be vomiting blood by now."

"I just told it as it was."

If he hadn’t intended to harm anyone, Sun Yian would certainly have survived until the end.

The outcome now was his own doing; no one else was to blame.

"Song Yi, you better go back and rest, and be careful not to get the wound wet."

With the wound being so large and the temperature so low, it was naturally not going to heal easily.

"I’ve realized that all four of us are injured. Misery loves company, haha."

Ye Mianmian suddenly found it somewhat amusing, and Jhiang Yuan thought about it and agreed; after such smooth sailing for so long, some injuries were normal.

Because of Song Yi’s injury, they each went their separate ways.

The old lady downstairs stopped knocking on the door, bringing a new quiet to the area.

But no one knew whether she had gone home or not.

Jhiang Yuan returned home feeling complex emotions, yet she still did not discuss those matters with Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue.

Upon entering her room, she felt a twinge of regret.

She had been given a second chance at life and knew many things others did not.

She forced herself to be decisive and ruthless, but in the end, her abilities were limited.

And time was too short; besides hoarding some supplies, she didn’t have the chance to prepare adequately for many things.

Feeling somewhat helpless, and her time from her past life, the day she died, was fast approaching.

What happened after that was unknown to her.

Jhiang Yuan sat on the bed, lost in thought.

Carrying such a secret was indeed tiring.

Fortunately, now with the space at her side, many things were different.

Ye Mianmian was right; all four of them were injured. Although hers was not serious, it would still be best to keep quiet for a while.

There was no lack of food and clothing at home, and there were enough supplies. All she needed to do was to guard her home well.

Right now, there was only one issue unaddressed, and that was the matter with Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng.

The two wanted to trade supplies with her, and whether it was one person or two, this had to continue.

Of course, she also had revenge to exact.

Jhiang Yuan sighed deeply and patted her face; there was still so much to do, and she could not afford to be discouraged.

The time she had arranged to meet with Xia Chaoyang and the others was tomorrow night, and she needed to start preparing in advance.

They had initially planned to act together, but with those three as invalids, it would be better for her to go alone.

Taking advantage of Xiao Nuan playing in the other room, Jhiang Yuan hurried to the space and watered the vegetables.

She also reorganized the contents of the six boxes.

In addition, the first batch of zucchinis was ready to be picked.

There were fine thorns on the vine, so Jhiang Yuan brought scissors over.

She didn’t plant many, just six seedlings, but they were quite robust, enough to last a while.

Even if the squash overgrew, it wasn’t a problem, as she could pick them and dry the seeds inside.

Natural seeds came about just like this.

Besides, old zucchinis turned into pickles also had a unique flavor, crisp and very appetizing with rice.

As Jhiang Yuan was pondering how to share these fresh zucchinis, Qin Yue came over.

She startled her.

"Yuanyuan, come out and have lunch, mom has stewed ribs."

"Okay, I’ll be right there..."

Qin Yue had mentioned before that the meat in the fridge needed to be eaten soon, as the weather would get warmer later on.

Although it wouldn’t spoil, fresher meat tasted better.

It was perfect timing because she had a new idea.

If she couldn’t think of a solution, then playing dumb was the best option.

What her mom made was ribs stewed with potatoes, along with a dish of stir-fried bean sprouts.

Jhiang Yuan quickly finished her meal and used the excuse of tidying up in the attic.

Since she often went there, Qin Yue and Jhiang Xingzhi didn’t pay much attention.

In less than an hour, she came bounding down the stairs.

"Mom, why didn’t you eat these vegetables? Look, they are going bad."

As she spoke, Jhiang Yuan took out five zucchinis, a bunch of asparagus, and a cluster of grapes from her hands.

The asparagus and grapes had been taken from the Overbearing Boss’s fridge.

"Where did these come from?"

Qin Yue was also surprised. Their home only had fresh cabbage, radish, and potatoes left; the rest she had frozen.

"They were in the drawer of the fridge upstairs, Mom, you couldn’t have forgotten, could you?

In such cold weather, they could easily freeze to death, thank goodness the fridge has good insulation."

Since the weather turned cold, the fridge had been unplugged.

The temperature outside was even colder, solid as a rock.

"Ah? I thought we were out, oh dear..."

While feeling annoyed, Qin Yue came over to check the produce.

And the grapes too, it was incredible.

"It’s alright, there’s not a single problem, look how fresh they are."

"Mom, wash and eat these grapes before they go bad, it’s been a while."

They were currently wrapped in cling film, definitely not the usual.

"Okay, Xiao Nuan hasn’t had these in a long time, I’ve frozen the ones we bought before."

Indeed, numerous grapes had been frozen, and they had made canned fruits from various other fruits as well.

"Great! These zucchinis look pretty fresh too, let’s make dumplings with them tomorrow."

"Sure!"

Jhiang Yuan’s requests were usually agreed upon, bringing joy and harmony to the family.

The feeling of bluffing her way through was quite exhilarating.

Tomorrow, she would be facing off against Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng, and as Jhiang Yuan lay in bed, she felt excited.

These two scumbags were finally meeting their comeuppance, but would Bai Mengmeng come tomorrow?

Being dragged away, would she even be alive to return? Those three people were definitely not good news.

If she couldn’t return, then there would only be Xia Chaoyang tomorrow.

And seeking revenge on Bai Mengmeng later would not be an easy task.

After all, whether she could find her or not was uncertain.

Disappointing!

The next morning, Jhiang Yuan rose early, feeling refreshed. The agreed time was in the evening, so she was in no hurry.

Qin Yue was diligent, getting up early and finishing wrapping the dumplings...
