Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Clothes Snatched Away

"Sister Yuan, you wouldn’t believe it, but we had initially gone out to gather firewood."

They were acting like old men, fussing over this and that, and nobody really said anything since everyone was picking for themselves.

But guess what, these two started flirting and throwing shade at Fan Qing right in front of everyone.

Zhang Kaiyang is really overprotective, and these past few days he’s been back with his ex, so naturally, he wasn’t having it, and they started arguing."

"What, they were arguing while out on a task? They really have some nerve."

More trouble than they’re worth.

"That’s not the worst of it, later a few of us got caught, and there wasn’t really a problem.

We had all hidden well, it’s just a shame about the firewood.

But who would have thought, Fan Yao actually made noise on purpose, and ended up exposing everyone."

In fact, it was intentional by Fan Yao.

She just wanted everyone to see how delicate she was, and she even had an excuse ready—she hurt her hand on a thorn while gathering firewood.

Jhiang Yuan’s expression was dark, this person is messed up, and Jhiang Xingzhi had even gone with her today.

If it weren’t for her past with Song Yi, what would they have done if something really happened? It’s terrifying to think about.

"Has she gone mad? If she wants to die, she can go do it alone without dragging everyone else down with her!"

Ye Mianmian was angry too, chiming in, "Exactly, and she even deliberately told those people that our district has food, can you believe that?"

"What, is her brain filled with shit? She just spills whatever anyone asks?"

It’s completely outrageous, not only is she a manipulative idiot, but she’s a total moron too!

"Wrong!"

Ye Mianmian held up a finger and shook it in disagreement."

"It’s not that she says whatever she’s asked, the key is that they didn’t even ask."

"No way!"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t even know what to say anymore, just kept giving her thumbs ups, truly damn impressive.

Finally, Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing came out too.

After greeting everyone, Jhiang Yuan looking at the flushed face of Fan Qing knew all too well.

"Brother Song, Sister Yuan, we owe you big time today. As for Fan Yao and Li Tianyu, we’re done with them, they pissed me off so much."

Zhang Kaiyang took the lead in making a statement, cussing and looking very annoyed.

"Yes, Fan Yao went too far today. With so many people around, it wouldn’t have been dangerous if not for her."

The two of them were in agreement, which seemed pretty harmonious.

"Fan Qing, you better think this through, today’s incident wasn’t trivial.

Your cousin has angered everyone, at the very least, I feel like hitting her."

Ye Mianmian felt that some things needed to be said upfront.

Several people living together, seeing each other all the time, it’s best to avoid awkwardness.

"Sister Mianmian, don’t worry, I mean what I say. If you want to hit her, go ahead, and if you can’t, I’ll help."

"That’s the spirit!"

Ye Mianmian was quite satisfied with her attitude and didn’t dwell on it, and began to share today’s experiences with Jhiang Yuan.

"Sister Yuan, let me tell you, those people today said they were from the mountains."

It seems a lot of villagers haven’t gone to the relief centers, and furthermore, they’ve all banded together.

In groups of threes and twos, forming different levels of small groups."

What a mess, that means the mountain villages are already starting to fortify themselves.

Organized crime, probably not in short supply.

"So you mean, they’ve set their sights on the area below the mountains now?"

Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have come down.

"Probably, but from their conversations, it seems the mountain communities primarily stick to their villages.

And there’s also clashes between the villages."

Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yuan nodded, typical.

Even in a normal world, there’s competition and disputes between villages.

Let alone now, with shortages of clothing and food, it reminded her of the primitive times.

Territories and food, both prime targets for conflict."

"We also need to be extra careful; a blizzard is coming soon, and many people will take this opportunity to search for supplies."

Everyone understood her meaning—they all had possessions worth taking.

At times like this, they could easily become targets of looting.

"By the way, we’re thinking of fortifying the staircase.

If it’s okay with you all, could you also clean up the twentieth floor, just in case?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kaiyang also felt deeply troubled.

"If you ask me, we might as well nail it shut completely."

After saying this, he looked at the others nearby expectantly.

"I think it’s a good idea..."

Song Yi had thought so from the beginning but had come to ask after Jhiang Yuan said it wasn’t appropriate.

"Good, that works out. I brought back quite a lot of wooden planks today."

He was already eager and had started planning.

Jhiang Yuan privately believed that it was not only to keep the bad people out but also to separate Li Tianyu and Fan Yao.

"Don’t forget to let the neighbors next door know."

"Got it, don’t worry, Sister Yuan!"

"Hmm!"

They had no choice but to consider everything.

The five of them were still discussing when the door was loudly banged on, the sound filled with a lot of anger and intermittent cursing.

However, it wasn’t very clear.

Ye Mianmian looked at everyone, got up, and went to check the situation.

"It’s those two, they’ve come back!"

Going down to the end, it shouldn’t be this slow, but what are they doing up here now?

"I’ll go..."

Zhang Kaiyang, worrying Fan Qing might find it awkward, volunteered for the task.

"What’s with all the banging?"

The angry words he had prepared earlier, hadn’t even been said when he was stunned by their miserable state.

"Your clothes, what happened to them?"

"Quick, quick..."

Li Tianyu said, attempting to get inside.

There was no helping it; it was just too cold.

Jhiang Yuan also saw Li Tianyu squeezing in, followed by Fan Yao.

The temperature inside was much warmer, but it still wasn’t safe for the two of them to recover completely.

Not to mention, in 2002, there weren’t many heating measures.

"Where are your coats? Why do they look like that?"

After Li Tianyu came in, he shivered and went to the kitchen to pour hot water.

He knew there were a couple of water boilers nearby and didn’t bother with a cup, directly grabbing a large bowl instead.

Fan Yao was the same, shivering as well.

Holding a big bowl of hot water, they simply couldn’t warm up.

Their teeth were chattering; Jhiang Yuan watched, worried a frozen blob of snot might fall into the water.

Ye Mianmian was the same—it was their dining bowls after all!

It took drinking two large bowls of water for the two to start feeling a bit better.

Seeing everyone staring at them, Li Tianyu also felt a bit scared.

"We were already back near our estate when somebody ambushed us from behind and stole our coats."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yao started crying miserably.

"They are so cruel, it’s so cold, we almost froze to death.

Qingqing, you are so heartless, actually ignoring me. Don’t forget, you owe your life to me, boo hoo hoo..."

Hearing this, Jhiang Yuan felt angry as well and couldn’t help but shout, "Shut up already..."
