Chapter 83: Chapter 83 The Sober Girl in the Human World

Actually, Jhiang Yuan had long since come to terms with everything – what was there left to puzzle over in this life or the past.

"Mianmian, what about you? I’ve never heard about you having a boyfriend."

"Sister Yuan, indeed I don’t have a boyfriend. You know about my family situation, how could I have time for dating?"

This answer completely surprised her, especially considering her looks were quite impressive.

"You’re so beautiful, and yet you don’t have a boyfriend. There must be a lot of people chasing after you, right?"

"There used to be quite a few, but I never paid them any mind. Sister Yuan, you know? I only graduated from junior high and have done many jobs.

Having witnessed a fair share of human warmth and coldness, I feel like nothing is reliable.

Compared to men, making money is more important. You might think I’m materialistic, but you haven’t lived my life; there are so many things you don’t know."

Upon hearing this, it was clear she had stories to tell, and Jhiang Yuan immediately shook her head.

"You’re not materialistic – you’re just clear-headed about life. If I’d had your awareness earlier, I wouldn’t have suffered for so many years!"

"Sister Yuan, sometimes I really envy you."

"Envy me?"

This time she was shocked. Her own life was a mess, yet someone envied her – that was quite flattering!

"Yes!

I don’t know what you’ve been through in your marriage, but your parents are truly good to you.

Last time, when you didn’t go back, your uncle and aunt were really worried. Their affection is the kind that would sacrifice themselves just to protect you.

You have no idea; when we told your uncle not to come with us, he was so anxious. I really envy you!"

Jhiang Yuan was unaware of this and felt deeply moved.

"Yeah, the ones who never abandoned me are just my parents and my daughter.

The most grievance I’ve ever felt in my life was in my last marriage. Looking back now, I realize I was so foolish."

Xia Chaoyang, damn you!

"Luckily, it’s all in the past now. Isn’t it a new life now? Sister Yuan, you will definitely get better and better."

"Right, we will all get better and better. Believe me, as long as you’re willing to work hard, you can be your own queen."

"Yeah!"

She drank up that bowl of chicken soup.

Jhiang Yuan was starting to admire Ye Mianmian, this girl who was positive, knew what she wanted, and despite having the means, didn’t take the wrong path.

Such clear-headedness surely set the bar high for other girls.

Still, she dared not get too close personally, for people’s hearts are all too easily changed.

Especially with that space existing, how could she not be selfish, too?

"We have moved all the stuff down, how are things on your end?"

Zhang Kaiyang was back, with Song Yi following.

"Almost done here, too. With so many storage boxes, a lot of space has been saved."

Not to mention, such gift box items are the most annoying – two-thirds of them are just packaging.

Cardboard, foam, plastic, and the like, the actual usable contents are just a little bit left to eat in the end.

"Look at these people, how hypocritical, just for a few mooncakes, they use such a huge box. Wasteful."

"Giving gifts is all about face anyway, if you want something practical, there’s always grain and oil, rice, and flour."

"True enough, haha!"

Zhang Kaiyang was instantly cheered up by this thought, finding some beauty in it.

Together, they moved these items downstairs, numerous and crammed. Two canoes placed side by side wouldn’t make it back in two trips.

Sitting and resting beside them, seeing so many supplies, he was also very happy.

But inside, he was all concerned about the transportation issue.

If we can’t bring it back, then all this talk is pointless.

"How about this, let’s rest for a bit later on, then take a trip back first. I think the wind seems to be even lighter than this morning.

I reckon tomorrow, there will be more people out scavenging for supplies. We’d better put in some overtime and move everything back up. Otherwise, it won’t be safe."

"We also can’t be too early. If most people haven’t gone to bed yet, it could still be very dangerous."

The incident last time still made them anxious and cautious!

Song Yi also agreed with Zhang Kaiyang’s points, nodding in endorsement.

"You’re right, returning later would be safer."

"I don’t see it that way!"

Her words caused quite a stir among the three people who were all looking at her, puzzled.

Jhiang Yuan cleared her throat and began to explain: "Lately, everyone has been trapped at home, sleeping whenever they can, and their circadian rhythms are all messed up."

"Yeah, if you sleep too much during the day, you can’t sleep at night. That’s how it was for me the past couple of days."

Jhiang Yuan ignored him and continued with her analysis.

"Of course, nighttime is still safer since it’s darker, and now, without electricity, I guess a lot of people won’t venture out.

We should still return at night, but there’s no need for it to be too late.

Those who can’t sleep will stay awake anyway, and that can’t be avoided because there are just too many people.

We are exposed, while others are hidden; it’s hard to guard against."

"Ah, this is so tough."

Zhang Kaiyang was dispirited and somewhat frustrated.

"Let’s set out after a while, but not back to the community. Let’s head to the highway service area first."

"Sister Yuan, we can’t even carry all of this, going to the service area will be too stressful."

"I was thinking this; listen and see if it might work.

You and Song Yi go back first, while Mianmian and I go check out the service area. If there’s anything, the two of us can handle it right away.

After you get back, call my dad over to help, and there’s Little One from your house too. Taking care of the people in the building shouldn’t be a problem.

Right now, everyone thinks the storm is stopping, and the typhoon is ending. They’re expecting social order to return to normal, or at least some people won’t harbor evil thoughts.

Later on, you can bring my kayak over from my place. With three boats, we’ll be able to carry a lot more supplies."

Splitting up seemed to be a good strategy at the moment.

That way, they could maximize their scavenging and transportation of supplies.

"I’m okay with that. Sister Yuan, I’ll follow you."

Jhiang Yuan smiled at her and then turned her head to look at the two men.

"I’m fine with whichever. What about you, Brother Song?"

"The service area is huge; are you two sure you can handle it?"

Now that they were a team, he was naturally very worried, especially about leaving two girls behind. It somehow felt wrong.

"It’s fine. Under these circumstances, few people will be out anyway.

Plus, service areas normally don’t have many people around.

If it gets dangerous, we’ll just hide and wait for you guys to come back."

Jhiang Yuan had laid out all the pros and cons; how they would decide was up to them.

"Okay then. Safety first, always. Let’s rest on the spot for a while, have something to eat, and then we’ll head out."
