Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse
Chapter 240: Left Alone

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Left Alone

"Eh, good idea, why didn’t I think of that?"

As he spoke, visible excitement arose.

Gathering detailed information about the eighth floor had always been part of their plan; this was just a great opportunity.

Ye Mianmian nodded in agreement, and Jhiang Yuan also thought it was a good idea.

"Liang Kang is right, we can’t waste this opportunity," she said.

"Let’s do this, we’ll head over tomorrow during the day."

Song Yi said, clearly agreeing with the plan.

As for why they decided on tomorrow during the day, that was because all that was supposed to happen had already occurred.

With one less security risk, it was still a delightful prospect for them.

"Right, the New Year is just around the corner; once spring arrives and the ice melts, our lives will get better."

Zhang Kaiyang heaved a sigh; Jhiang Yuan didn’t know what the future would hold, but she harbored a faint hope in her heart.

"Yeah, once the weather gets back to normal, we’ll all go on a car trip together.

By then, we can camp in the mountains and set up tents."

Liang Kang’s eyes twinkled with stars; before this situation occurred, his life had been lush and prosperous.

He had a respectable job and a stable income.

His family was harmonious and free from stress, enjoying a cozy life.

The others had varied expressions, each having a different understanding of the New Year and spring.

Having agreed to find trouble in the eighth floor tomorrow, everyone dispersed.

At the end, Jhiang Yuan stopped Ye Mianmian.

Both of them now stood in the corridor on the twenty-first floor, overlooking the snow below.

"Mianmian, you’ve been looking much better these past few days. If there’s anything bothering you, remember to come find me.

If I can help you, I definitely will."

While she appeared much better, it was only superficial.

The only close relative they had relied on for so many years was gone; it was already tough for her to recover from that.

Moreover, her grandmother had been her support.

Even though it was always her who earned money to support the family, hot meals awaited her at home whenever she returned.

No matter how late she worked, having someone wait at home made all the difference.

Her grandmother was truly the anchor of their family.

That was why she hadn’t shared these thoughts with her in the past few days.

Time can dilute everything, but it has to be long enough...

"Sister Yuan, I’m fine, don’t worry, I know you promised my grandma to look after me, and I appreciate that," she said with a wry smile, for recently she had been keeping herself busy to avoid dwelling on what might or might not happen.

Jhiang Yuan paid her extra attention, and she knew it.

Her grandmother had told her before passing away to always follow Jhiang Yuan’s lead.

Although she didn’t know why, she would definitely obey.

"Ah!"

Jhiang Yuan sighed deeply, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.

"Mianmian, I know you’re sad and trying to stay strong, so that your grandmother can rest in peace.

The world has changed; we live surrounded by danger every day.

This means we must grow up, even if you’re reluctant. You understand, right?"

"I understand, Sister Yuan, and I can make sense of it.

You don’t need to worry about me; I’ll tell you if something’s up."

"Good, then go back and rest well."

"Okay!"

Not wanting to say too much, at this time, nobody knew whether tomorrow or an accident would come first.

Ye Mianmian was fine, or at least she appeared to be on the surface.

Being naturally resilient, enduring in the apocalypse was essential for her.

Upon returning home, Mom was sewing something, wearing her reading glasses.

Seeing her brought a smile to her face.

"Sweetie, look at this hat, do you like it?"

It was a black and gray fur hat, fluffy and seemingly warm.

"Where did this come from?"

She was curious and reached out to take it.

"It’s the wolf skin you all brought back earlier, I thought it was pretty good,

so I added some cotton and made a hat for each of you, for you and Xiao Nuan.

This can withstand the wind, try it on and see if it fits."

Two wolves, shared by four families, didn’t leave much skin for each household.

It was just enough to make two hats, and Qin Yue used them both for her and her daughter.

"Mom, I have a hat, keep this one for yourself."

"I don’t want it, you might think this is ugly, but it’s really warm, just try it on..."

Mom actually thought she found it ugly.

"All right!"

Jhiang Yuan tried it on, there was thick cotton inside, and it truly was very warm.

"It’s really nice, thank you, Mom..."

"Silly girl, acting so formal with me."

Qin Yue chided softly, then bowed her head to continue working, the granddaughter’s hat wasn’t finished yet, she had no time for joking.

Jhiang Yuan felt a warmth in her heart, having parents by her side made her feel cherished no matter how old she was.

She turned and went back to her room, with nothing pressing to do, she decided to work in the "space."

Xiao Nuan was still not awake from her nap, so she went to the bathroom first, then into the "space."

It was better to avoid startling her daughter with a sudden appearance when she woke up.

The only downside of the "space" was that you exited where you entered.

If she could move according to her thoughts, it would be perfect.

But she couldn’t ask for too much, it was already very good.

Now, there was plenty of open land inside, and the seeds previously planted had sprouted.

Jhiang Yuan began tilling the land again, pulling out densely packed seedlings and replanting them in more barren areas.

Seeds were very scarce now, so everything had to be used sparingly.

Once the first batch of crops was harvested, she would save them all, then the whole courtyard could be filled with crops, just thinking about it excited her.

Besides, the vegetables were growing well too.

Especially the leafy vegetables, which were ungainly tall because they were always left uneaten.

Yet, they were still lush and tender, not at all tough.

The other fruiting vegetables she had planted before were also ready to be picked.

Otherwise, they might overripen and become inedible, which would be a waste.

She always felt that the produce here was better than that outside.

It could grow a bit larger and was more tender too.

After some thought, she decided to deal with these vegetables.

Since the produce at home was already frozen, she would freeze the vegetables from the "space" too, especially since she had collected so many refrigerators and freezers back from the home improvement store.

Having food gave life a purpose.

The hoe in her hands swung even more vigorously.

Soon, she had dug up a twenty-square-meter patch of land.

Jhiang Yuan decided that this section would be entirely used for planting corn.

As it would grow tall, she would plant it along the edges, so it wouldn’t block the view.

Seeing that time was about right, she picked some fresh vegetables and then came out.

It was still early, but Xiao Nuan was awake.

She would spend some quality time with her today, as tomorrow she had to go to the eighth floor and wouldn’t have any free time.
