Chapter 188: Chapter 188 The Sorrow of No Door

Jhiang Yuan didn’t stay long; it was simply too cold.

Usually, you’d think the absence of melting snow would make it colder, but now it felt unbearable.

Instead of going back to sleep, she checked the electric heater and then plugged in the humidifier next to it.

There was no helping it; the electric heater’s temperature was too high, and the room was unbearably dry.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, Jhiang Yuan suddenly had a bold idea.

She quietly picked up her daughter. The little girl nuzzled into her arms without waking up.

Feeling reassured, she walked straight into the space.

She laid her daughter on the bed on the first floor, where it was warm. A summer quilt was enough to cover her.

After making sure everything was set, she went out and locked the door, not wanting her parents to discover what she had done.

Otherwise, things would get complicated.

Nowadays, with the lack of good faith and the abundance of bad people, the less they knew, the safer it was.

Jhiang Yuan was also tired and didn’t do anything else; she just lay down on the bed and slept with her daughter.

The next day she had to take her daughter out quietly early in the morning.

Fortunately, Qin Yue, concerned that Jhiang Yuan might be tired, didn’t come to call her.

It wasn’t until nine-thirty that she got up.

Xiao Nuan suddenly returned to the real world and still felt a bit disoriented.

However, they couldn’t stay in the space forever; they had to adapt slowly.

"Up already? Hurry and wash your hands, come and eat."

Qin Yue made rice porridge and served it with her homemade pickled vegetable strips, and her mom even added a good amount of sesame seeds, which smelled amazing.

There were also the steamed buns from before, with pork and green onion and pork with sour cabbage fillings, and two green pepper eggplant buns from a few days ago were reheated.

Who wouldn’t be confused by such a feast!

Jhiang Yuan quietly enjoyed the breakfast time, and Jhiang Xingzhi came over to tell her about the snow.

"It’s already minus ten degrees inside our house, perhaps we should turn on another electric heater."

"That’s fine, but I wonder if it would be overloading the system?"

The supply of electricity wasn’t a concern, but the wiring was an issue.

"No worries, I’ve checked it all. Though the electric heaters have a high wattage, our batteries are also pretty good. They can handle four or five heaters at the same time without a problem."

"That’s a relief."

Jhiang Xingzhi rubbed his hands; he had just been outside.

"My girl, you have no idea. It’s already minus fifty degrees outside.

"Back in our hometown, the coldest nights only reached minus thirty degrees at most.

"It’s literally freezing breath into ice out there. You wouldn’t believe it, but when I stepped outside, my teeth started chattering.

"And that was in the hallway. Outside, with the wind, if it were out in the open, I bet someone could freeze to death."

Jhiang Yuan was inwardly shocked; the snow showed no signs of stopping, and it looked to be at least twenty centimeters thick outside already.

The previous sudden extreme cold had already killed many people.

This blizzard was colder, so she guessed that even more people were in trouble.

"There probably aren’t many living people left in this building."

Jhiang Yuan muttered, and Jhiang Xingzhi’s expression hardened.

"Ah, probably many people froze to death."

"Not necessarily. With the experience from the previous extreme cold, I’m sure many people stockpiled firewood at home."

Qin Yue also voiced her thoughts, believing there would be a definite difference between being prepared and not.

"True, but considering the snow doesn’t seem to be stopping soon, we need to be more cautious."

As for other people, let it be.

"Yes, who knows how long this snow will last? I’ll go and clear out the attic later."

Jhiang Xingzhi had just been to the attic and knew it had to be sorted out.

"If the ice forms later, it’s going to be trouble."

The terrace is only three steps lower than the attic, and the official news is a blizzard, so it could easily pile up.

It’s okay if it’s just a little bit, but if there’s a lot, once the snow melts, it could easily seep in.

Most of the stuff in the attic is food, which is a guarantee of life, so of course, we can’t be careless."

"All right, I’ll go with you in a bit."

"No need, it’s very cold, girl, you just stay at home.

If you get frostbite, your mother will be heartbroken again."

Qin Yue gave Jhiang Xingzhi a glance and said with some displeasure, "Don’t you care!"

While unit 2101 was filled with joy, a quarrel broke out downstairs.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t hear any commotion at home and wanted to check out the situation in the hallway, where they said they would seal it up yesterday.

They still needed to find a door panel, as their wood was still in the hallway, and they couldn’t just ignore it.

Little did she know, as soon as she came out, she heard the noise.

She hurried downstairs to check on the situation and found Liang Kang and Xiao Ling in the hallway, trying to break up a fight.

"What’s going on? What trouble is Fan Yao causing now?"

"This girl wanted to go in, and Fan Qing didn’t allow it, so they started arguing."

Fan Yao knew that Jhiang Yuan wouldn’t take her side, so she didn’t come up to complain.

Instead, she turned to the couple from unit 2001, crying her woes.

"Big brother, big sister, just look, it’s so cold now, and my sister, she really isn’t looking after me, she’s trying to freeze me to death. How can there be such heartless people in the world?"

Ye Mianmian looked at Jhiang Yuan and spread her hands in a helpless gesture.

"Heartless? When we were trapped yesterday, I didn’t see you guys coming to help either!"

At this, Liang Kang and his wife also realized something.

They unconsciously distanced themselves from her.

"I was taken down to the ground floor by someone yesterday, right, Tianyu even caught a cold.

Qingqing, even if you don’t like me, he’s innocent. For the sake of the love you once shared, give him some cold medicine, please!"

That was an outrageous plea, she really had the nerve to say such things.

Fan Qing glanced at Zhang Kaiyang, whose expression had already turned cold.

"Shut up, what feelings do I have with you, if you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being impolite."

She was really at her limit, Fan Yao couldn’t stand seeing even the slightest good from her.

"Look at you, we can’t just leave someone to die, Qingqing, don’t be too cold-hearted."

"I really am..."

Fan Qing wasn’t as high-ranking as her cousin, and now she gritted her teeth and ran back.

When she came back, she was holding a broom in her hand.

She swung it at Fan Yao.

"I told you to stop talking nonsense, get out of here. If you harass me again, I’ll make you regret it."

Fan Yao was caught off guard and hit a couple of times, she really hit hard!

The pain caused the victim to scramble for cover.

Although cursing, it was effective; at the very least, the person was gone.

"Oh my, every family has its own troubles!"

"It’s infuriating."

Fan Qing was also distressed and quickly checked on Zhang Kaiyang’s mood.

Thankfully, he didn’t seem to be very angry.

"Alright, let’s not talk about that. We should hurry up and see about getting a door. That’s the real issue."

"Yes, I’ll go up and call Brother Song, and then we can look downstairs!"
