Chapter 223: Old Wu’s Test

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Old Wu’s Test

He was that kind of man, over forty, appearing harmless to both people and animals.

In fact, Jhiang Yuan had never seen him do anything outrageously wrong.

However, the people even Sun Yian feared were definitely tough characters.

That time she beat up Li Tianyu, she could feel it.

"Don’t mention it, it was nothing, Brother Wu, what are you guys doing here?"

Zhang Kaiyang couldn’t understand why they were fussing over the ice, as it wasn’t theirs for the taking.

"We also thought about getting some ice to melt into water, now that the snow can’t be used.

At home, we’ve completely run out of water."

Food can be skipped for a short time, but water is absolutely essential.

Winter is still bearable, but in summer, that would be too troublesome.

Old Wu, cunning as he was, immediately saw his concern and hurriedly explained.

"Brother, don’t worry, we’ll head over there..."

Saying so, he walked in the opposite direction.

Jhiang Yuan just smiled silently while Zhang Kaiyang made a face—he was doing it on purpose.

Fan Qing was also angry, busily working while she continuously complained.

"As soon as we went up, we ran into them saying they wanted to come down.

We couldn’t stop them, sigh!"

Such incidents were common; the area below was a public space and she couldn’t restrict others.

"We all understand, no worries～"

The path was already made and them coming now was certainly taking advantage.

At this moment, everyone was in a bad situation; doing less work meant conserving more energy.

They had brought down six water buckets, Jhiang Yuan’s house still had quite a few, previously used for collecting snow.

Later, Jhiang Xingzhi had poured them out.

But the buckets weren’t washed; it always felt like a waste of water, mainly because they weren’t needed.

"Let’s carry these all up!"

"Agreed!"

Liang Kang took the lead with two buckets and headed upstairs.

This resource was precious; it couldn’t be wasted.

Unavoidably, there was someone short-sighted.

Fan Yao actually came up, implicitly indicating she wanted a freebie.

"Big sister, I really am sorry, but I’m already married..."

"Hahaha..."

Zhang Kaiyang behind couldn’t help but laugh; Liang Kang was indeed a straight man.

The feeling of bluntly hitting her with the truth was just too satisfying.

Each boy took two buckets up.

All their families had quite a bit of firewood stored.

Especially family 2001, having no gas installations previously found a lot.

Now it was sufficient for boiling water and cooking.

As soon as these people left, Fan Yao came over, sashaying in a very enchanting manner.

Unfortunately, only women were left, none of whom were interested in her tactics.

"What are you doing here?"

Fan Qing looked at her and felt irritated; Fan Yao kept surprising her.

"I came to borrow a shovel!"

Even now, she still acted superior.

With arms crossed, she didn’t regard Fan Qing highly at all.

Now that she needed their help, her attitude had changed immediately.

"We don’t have enough to spare, so no..."

Fan Yao glanced at the three shovels stuck in the snow, instantly boiling with rage.

"Those are lying idle, lending them to us won’t hurt."

"Are those two eyes of yours just for decoration?"

"He just went up, you can’t see him anymore, and he will be back in less than two minutes. Why should I lend it to you, are you kidding!"

"What’s wrong with lending it to me, they haven’t come back yet."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab it.

Seeing this, Fan Qing swung the shovel straight at her.

"What are you doing?"

"Ouch, Fan Qing, are you trying to kill me!"

"I think you’re the one who’s getting killed, actually robbing like that, have you no shame!"

The two sisters were like fire and water, hurling harsh words at each other.

People nearby heard the commotion and ran over.

The first to charge over was Fan Yao’s boyfriend, who seemed to be called Xiao Long.

"What’s happening!"

"Xiao Long, they’re bullying me, sob sob sob..."

Fan Yao immediately hid behind him, presenting herself as frail and unable to fend for herself.

She really was a chameleon, changing colors so fast.

As Jhiang Yuan sighed, she also firmly stood behind Fan Qing.

"Don’t you start playing the victim here. Lending it to you is a favor, not lending it is my right. That moral high ground act doesn’t work on me."

Boy, these sisters are really tough.

"Yaoyao was right, you really are a shrew.

It’s just borrowing something. If you don’t lend it, fine, but did you have to hit someone?"

Fan Qing was also somewhat speechless; it seemed her cousin had been bad-mouthing her quite a bit.

"I don’t care what Fan Yao has said. The innocent have nothing to hide. As for hitting her, it was because she tried to snatch it first."

Jhiang Yuan also stepped forward, confronting Xiao Long.

"Qingqing is right, Fan Yao, there are so many eyes watching.

Nobody owes you anything, why bother making a fool of yourself."

Seeing everyone’s disgusted faces, she naturally didn’t like it and started to act coquettishly.

"Xiao Long, never mind, it’s not necessary. If they won’t lend it, then don’t, I’m used to hitting walls here."

"You’re so good at pretending, were you a trash bag on a former life or what? The Oscars owe you an award..."

Fan Qing scoffed disdainfully, her eyes nearly rolling out of her head.

Just then, Zhang Kaiyang and others came down and saw Fan Yao there.

He hurried over in a couple of quick steps, even slipping a bit.

"Qingqing, are you okay?"

Seeing her boyfriend caring so much about her warmed her heart.

"I’m fine, don’t worry..."

Zhang Kaiyang stood right in front of her, facing Xiao Long.

Wow, boyfriend goals!

Old Wu quickly came over, shouting as he approached.

"Oh dear, oh dear, what’s going on here? Xiao Long, you can’t afford to make these beauties angry."

He turned his head and looked towards Fan Qing and the others.

"Don’t stoop to his level. The kid is still young, just a hothead.

If there’s anything he did wrong, I apologize on his behalf."

The man was really clever. When it was just the three of them here earlier, he must have seen it.

As soon as Song Yi and the others arrived, he immediately became the mediator, saying all the right things, playing the good guy.

So frustrating!

Seeing that no one was speaking up, he started his one-man show again.

The smile on his face never faded, and even with a mask, you could tell from the creases.

"These are special times; we should all stick together.

This time, I guess a lot of us have stomachaches, and I was thinking, maybe we should all say something to the people in the building.

That would be a good deed, brothers, what do you say?"

Ugh, putting the pressure on them.

Zhang Kaiyang in the front also expressed his opinion, "It’s just a few households, no need to go door to door. We all came down today; probably anyone alive saw it..."
