Chapter 92: Chapter 92: 2001 Wants to Buy Supplies

Little One suddenly bolted out, as if knowing what they were up to, and went straight down to the twentieth floor.

"Mianmian, let’s hurry down too!"

Although the dog was intelligent, it was not human after all. If it ran away or alarmed other people, that would be troublesome.

And with Song Yi not around, losing the dog would be difficult to explain.

That big dog looked well-fed, with a body full of muscle. In these days of food scarcity, it would be bad if someone harbored ill intentions.

Just thinking about it was frightening. Ye Mianmian didn’t dare delay and followed Jhiang Yuan downstairs.

The doggy was very well-behaved, waiting right at the door of 2002.

It didn’t make noise or fuss, staring with round eyes as if waiting for them.

"Good baby, let’s go inside."

Both Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang now had keys, spare keys they’d found inside, which made things much more convenient.

They did not dare linger and quickly began to pack up their stuff.

They divided the haul into two bags and brought one load up, one portion for her and one for Song Yi.

As the sky was nearly brightening, the supplies were diminishing, and items like mineral water became difficult to carry.

So heavy and so much of it, it was utterly exhausting.

But the two didn’t dare stop; when others returned, another fierce battle awaited them.

Around seven in the morning, they began to transport goods again. This load was bigger and also their last trip.

Once this was handled, they would be able to rest for a while.

However, as they went downstairs, they unexpectedly encountered uninvited guests.

Little One stopped in front, growling "woo woo woo" softly from its mouth.

It had been well-trained by Song Yi; even upon spotting an enemy, it did not bark wildly.

When Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian came down, they ran into a man and a woman.

Standing right at the doorway of 2002, their eyes lit up with surprise and hope upon seeing them.

"Um, hello, we are neighbors from next door.

We mean no harm, so don’t worry.

We just want to buy some food from you, our house has run out of everything."

Apparently, their back-and-forth movements with the goods had caught the attention of the neighbors.

Seeing that the two remained silent, the woman grew anxious.

"Please, sisters, have mercy. We have a child at home who hasn’t had anything to eat for a while and can’t hold out much longer."

Ye Mianmian didn’t dare make a decision on her own and looked to Jhiang Yuan for guidance.

After the battle at the service area, she trusted her completely.

"We don’t have food to spare, we barely have enough for ourselves. The weather outside has calmed down; you can go out and find food for yourself."

Jhiang Yuan spoke with an unmoving face, firmly refusing to concede.

The woman became desperate and knelt down with a thud.

"Please help us out with some food. My child is only five years old. I’m willing to pay whatever it costs, please."

As she spoke, she began to kowtow.

The man also knelt down, and Ye Mianmian felt a pang of sorrow, but as Jhiang Yuan held firm, she could not take the lead.

"How much money do you have?"

Upon hearing there might be room for negotiation, the man quickly lifted his head.

"One million..."

"One million?"

That was somewhat shocking. Would an average family have a million in cash at home?

It sounded a bit far-fetched.

Noticing her skepticism, the man quickly explained.

"This is really our money. You can trust us. We were planning to swap for a bigger school district house, so we sold our old family home."

"As the weather got hotter, I feared things might change, so I withdrew all the money."

One million, one hundred hours, Jhiang Yuan was tempted.

To buy a house, this amount was probably just the down payment, but still, it was enough.

"Wait a moment, come out in half an hour, and we’ll discuss it."

"Okay, okay, you guys have a good discussion, we’ll come back later..."

The man’s face was full of flattery, fearful that they might refuse.

Once inside, Ye Mianmian grew worried. "Sister Yuan, what should we do? Do we really give them the stuff?

I’m a bit scared, and they live right next door. What should we do?"

"I have the same concern. If we don’t agree, I’m afraid it will lead to trouble.

We’ve been moving our belongings back and forth; they must have noticed by now. If things really escalate, we won’t be able to come out of it looking good."

Ye Mianmian sighed, truly at a loss for what to do.

"Why is it like this? We have it so hard."

"It’s okay, in a moment, I’ll deal with them.

Shift the focus of the conflict upstairs. As long as they show any sign of odd behavior, we’ll still have a chance to maneuver."

"But, Sister Yuan, that will put you in danger."

"This is the best plan for now. Look, Mianmian, we have more people at our place and surveillance too. It’s a bit safer than here.

You can keep watch from downstairs."

"But..."

"No buts. Do you have a better plan? It’s settled then, let’s hurry and pack!"

Jhiang Yuan had her own plans; one million was not a small sum, and she could give a little extra.

Of course, a warning was also inevitable. Once they had provisions, her family would naturally be more peaceful.

If they really went out and blabbed, both upstairs and downstairs would be in danger.

Previously, everyone only knew that the 21st floor had supplies, but not many people were aware that Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang had moved to the 20th floor.

And as for how much supplies there were, nobody really knew for sure.

This wasn’t the case for apartment 2001; they were aware of how many trips had been made and could provide more credible information if they spoke out.

Pacifying them should be able to ensure stability for a while.

What was most important was her longing for that one million.

Thus, dealing with it personally helped shift the attention.

Plus, taking the money would be completely justifiable, and even her companions wouldn’t have much to say.

Encountering such a big deal was rare; whether there would be any value to paper currency in the future remained unknown, and she simply couldn’t let go of this opportunity.

They moved another four or five trips, and the relocation of their possessions was finally complete.

On the last trip, she left Little One next door and gave it two sticks of sausage.

With Song Yi not around, she might as well play the good Samaritan to the end.

Back at home, she began preparing things, while Qin Yue and Xiao Nuan were organizing the items they had just brought up.

Seeing her head toward the attic with a woven luggage bag left them somewhat puzzled.

Jhiang Yuan took a ten-kilogram bag of rice, a ten-kilogram bag of flour, two cans of milk powder, five bundles of noodles, two bags of sausages, along with some snacks and drinks.

She filled the bag to the brim.

It was so heavy that she feared the straps would break, so she carried it in her arms instead.

The man from upstairs had seen her when she came up, and she had given him a look. Now he was already waiting outside the door in the hallway.

On seeing Jhiang Yuan emerge with such a large bag of goods, his eyes practically bugged out.

He hurriedly pulled out all his money, fearing she might have second thoughts.

"This is all our money, you count it..."

Jhiang Yuan opened the door, exchanged the items with him, and didn’t bother to count.

Then she closed the door with a wary look!
