Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Dragged In

After Jhiang Yuan returned, she tidied up a bit and hurriedly went to bed to sleep.

My goodness, what a tiresome night it had been.

And to have witnessed that kind of thing with Song Yi, just unbelievable.

No matter, sleep now, just sleep.

Xiao Nuan hadn’t followed her, staying instead with her grandmother.

Qin Yue had been aware of her leaving.

But by the time she got up, her daughter was already out the door.

Hearing the noise of her return, she didn’t ask any further questions.

In today’s world, things are terrifying, and not stirring up trouble yourself doesn’t mean others will leave you alone.

Jhiang Yuan wasn’t a bad kid, and everything she did was well-reasoned; both she and Jhiang Xingzhi trusted her completely.

So, the next morning they didn’t call her, thinking it wouldn’t hurt her to sleep a bit more.

As usual, Xiao Ling came over to tutor Xiao Nuan, and Jhiang Yuan woke up just as the class was ending.

Today they had learned a new nursery rhyme, and the living room was filled with laughter and merry voices.

It gave her the illusion that she was still living in civilized times.

"Mommy, you’re awake?"

The little girl called out sweetly, looking utterly content.

"I’m awake, carry on, don’t mind me," she replied.

Saying this, she sat down next to them.

The carpet was soft and plush, very comfortable.

These past few days, Xiao Ling’s complexion had improved a lot; she had diarrhea before, but after drinking the brown sugar water she made for everyone...

Later, after feeling better, she thought it might have been thanks to the brown sugar.

So she made a deal with Jhiang Yuan, offering to teach for a week without asking for grain, in exchange for a bag of brown sugar instead.

They had plenty at home, and there was no shortage in the space either, so of course, she agreed.

"It’s no trouble, we’re done for today anyway.

Jhiang Yuan, after you eat, go downstairs and have a look," she suggested.

Go downstairs?

Her finely tuned senses were instantly alarmed.

"What happened?" she inquired.

"I heard there was a fight on the eighth floor. It was Xiao Long from 1202 who went there, not sure why.

But over there, they found Old Wu’s things, and that set everybody off," Xiao Ling informed.

Great, oversleeping causes trouble.

Hadn’t Song Yi said he would wake her? What was happening?

"Ah? What happened after that?"

"Xiao Long was making a racket, clever kid, but he didn’t go into the apartment.

We all heard it, Liang Kang and Zhang Kaiyang went down to have a look.

They said after a lot of yelling, he was dragged inside the apartment, and it seemed like..."

Her voice trailed off, fear evident as she glanced up sneakily at Jhiang Yuan.

"It seemed like he never came out!"

She knew about the situations on the eighth and twelfth floors, though she hadn’t been involved lately.

But every day, when she went back, Liang Kang would tell her about them.

"Then probably, the outcome is not good..."

Jhiang Yuan sighed. Xiao Long, although impulsive, wasn’t stupid.

He chose to curse at the doorstep, where he could escape when necessary.

But he forgot that nowadays, people have little restraint.

Even if they killed him in front of many witnesses...

She guessed no one would say a thing.

Standing by indifferently was just a way to preserve oneself, after all.

"Yeah, that should be the case, then the two of them just came back..."

Xiao Ling’s implication was clear, and Jhiang Yuan understood it meant there was no escape.

"It’s getting late, we should head back," Xiao Ling said.

"Alright!"

Jingjing said her goodbyes obediently; even though the two kids saw each other every day, they still parted reluctantly.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t go out either; this matter had already become a certainty.

Whenever she learned about it, it would be the same.

For lunch, Qin Yue made her a ham clay pot, using the large ham that Ye Mianmian had given them before.

They hadn’t eaten much of it, and there was still plenty left.

The side dishes were the same as before, and she’d purposely added a good amount of shredded kelp.

A big pot of fragrant white rice was simply a heavenly delight.

"My girl, eat more meat..."

"Okay, Mom, you eat too. You don’t need to keep putting food in my bowl..."

Qin Yue put food in her daughter’s bowl while also serving Xiao Nuan.

"My girl, why do I feel that the food I make isn’t as delicious as yours?

Your cooked greens are so crisp and tender, why are mine so wilted..."

Well, she used fresh vegetables, which of course made a difference.

"Mom, did you take them out in advance to thaw them?"

"Yes, I was afraid that cooking them in too much liquid would be a waste of alcohol."

Jhiang Yuan felt secretly pleased inside, having an excuse ready meant they had safely passed through this crisis.

"That’s why. I always cook them with ice still on."

"I see, that’s why!"

"Hmm, next time, let me do the cooking. You don’t need to worry about it."

Qin Yue nodded and didn’t say much, focusing on picking out lean meat for Xiao Nuan.

The child didn’t eat any fat at all, so when she was cutting it, she prepared quite a lot of lean pieces.

"My girl, Xiao Ling told you earlier that the guy went downstairs.

If he doesn’t come back, then only that little girl will be left in the building below. Will she come looking for Kaiyang and the others?"

Jhiang Xingzhi’s worry was very likely, but as for what the actual situation was, she didn’t dare affirm.

"I don’t know, but Fan Yao, that person, would definitely not be alone.

As for coming to look for Fan Qing, it’s probably impossible for her to come over."

If she really did come over, then it would be over; there would definitely be no peace.

After spending the last couple of days together, everyone knew that Fan Yao had wronged her.

It was very likely that she would seek another man to latch onto.

Li Tianyu was probably one of her options, and the group in unit 1501 was not to be trifled with.

"In such a situation, it isn’t easy for this girl either. Ah, this world..."

Qin Yue sighed heavily; she always felt somewhat sad.

"Indeed, Mom, don’t worry yourself.

In this world, no one can control anyone."

"I know, my girl, don’t worry, I won’t be soft-hearted.

As long as our family is doing fine, and you and Xiao Nuan don’t have any illnesses or calamities, other people have nothing to do with us.

I say this though I won’t be soft-hearted, rest assured."

Jhiang Yuan had shown her so many apocalyptic movies; if she hadn’t been affected at all, it would have been a total waste.

"Mom, I’m so glad you think this way.

The situation going forward is probably going to get worse. Just look at our building; how many families are left?

If we had been even slightly soft-hearted, we wouldn’t have survived until now."

That wasn’t just alarmist talk; Qin Yue understood as well.

When she first arrived, she was even afraid of people seeing her shopping.

All day long, the elevator never stopped running.

Now, only a few households are left besides those who have left, and most of the people are gone.

They have only been able to survive till now because they had the advantage of supplies.

Of course, she had seen how Jhiang Yuan had busily managed everything.

"Isn’t that the truth? The world has changed, everything has changed."

Seeing her speak like this, Jhiang Xingzhi couldn’t help but offer comfort.

"It’s no use thinking about those things. As long as we take care of ourselves, we’re already very fortunate."
