Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Wind Has Diminished
Chapter 74 -74 The Wind Has Diminished
Sister Li knew all too well that had it not been for her two children, she likely wouldn’t have persisted until now.
But rescue had finally arrived.
Now, her two children had survived, hadn’t they?
“Yes, it’s better to live poorly than to die well. Rest assured, we’ll be fine…”
The words she spoke, though not loud, were incredibly resilient.
After enduring so many hardships, her life had been full of ups and downs, and understanding came in an instant.
“Sister Li, we just happened to come by today. Mianmian still has some things to take away.
From now on, unless necessary, we won’t come to disturb you. Take ease in your stay.”
“Alright, take whatever you need, and once the rain stops, we’ll head back. Thank you all.”
As she spoke, she again knelt with her two children to bow.
The group rushed to help her up, Ye Mianmian’s equipment hadn’t been damaged.
She cautiously packed away her belongings. Zhang Kaiyang also came to help. Other things aside, at least the speed picked up.
Song Yi directed everyone to open the windows and throw the two bodies down below.
The woman didn’t hesitate—her husband too had been thrown out.
In doing so, it counted as another form of revenge.
“Don’t bother, you’ll get your clothes dirty.
Xingxing, Yueyue, come over here.”
Instead of allowing Song Yi and Jhiang Yuan to step forward, the woman called over her own two children.
He Xing, He Yue.
Though both children were trembling with fear, they were obedient and helped throw the two enemies out.
It was quite strenuous, but they then closed the window. There was a draft, and the cold air rushed in, causing Jhiang Yuan to shiver uncontrollably…
Once all was done, Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang also came out, having finished packing their things.
“Sister Li, listen to me, do not trust anyone in the future, be on guard against everyone.
Even those who seem to pose no threat at all are not to be trusted.
Xingxing, Yueyue, remember this as well, okay?”
“Mmm, thank you, Auntie, I understand. With dad gone, I will take good care of mom and my sister.”
He Xing said firmly, as if he had grown up overnight, turning from a boy into a man.
Jhiang Yuan sighed, realizing she had been a bit too compassionate today.
In the apocalypse, such sentimentality was taboo, perhaps fulfilling a regret from her past life.
The group delivered the things to the 20th floor where Grandma Ye was waiting.
Seeing everyone return made her very happy.
“Grandma, go back to sleep. Who let you come out without wearing warm clothes?”
Ye Mianmian, worried that she might catch a cold, especially dangerous at her age and during these precarious times, quickly ushered her inside.
It was already three twenty. Jhiang Yuan and Song Yi said their goodbyes as well.
They needed to rest for a while since Qin Yue was with Xiao Nuan.
Upon her return, Qin Yue asked a few questions before heading back to her room.
Jhiang Yuan hurriedly cleaned up, while her small daughter was curled up in a tiny ball, sleeping.
Embracing her daughter as if she had narrowly escaped death, she kissed her over and over again until Xiao Nuan showed signs of waking, at which point she finally stopped.
In her previous life, she had endured humiliation not unlike Sister Li’s.
Since her rebirth, that was the last thing she wanted to recollect.
All of this, forced upon her by Bai Mengmeng and Xia Chaoyang, intensified the hatred in her heart even more.
Vengeance, she must take vengeance!
The apocalypse had magnified the worst of human nature to the fullest extent.
Rape and plunder were the products of desire.
She had much to do, and strengthening herself was fundamental, so as not to be meat on others’ chopping block.
Moreover, she needed to strive to extend the duration of her space, to provide a fallback for her and her family.
With these thoughts, she slowly drifted to sleep.
The next morning, it was Xiao Nuan who awoke first, mumbling under the blankets.
Jhiang Yuan’s heart softened with tenderness, indulging in a moment of sweet mother-child time.
Lately, I’ve been getting less and less sleep.
If it were in the past, my endocrine system would probably have gone haywire.
The apocalypse really toughens people up, many changes happen subtly, even she herself hadn’t noticed.
At eight-thirty, we had dinner on time, and Mom made steamed dumplings.
They were pre-made and frozen in the fridge, very convenient to eat now.
She also steamed two ears of corn and made egg drop soup, everything seemed so harmonious.
“Daughter, I feel like the rain isn’t as heavy today,
or maybe the wind is weaker, it doesn’t sound as loud.”
With one remark from Jhiang Xingzhi, he successfully sparked Jhiang Yuan’s curiosity.
She took her corn to the window and, sure enough, it was just as her father had said.
The wind seemed to have died down a lot, and the raindrops hitting the window didn’t seem to make as much noise anymore.
“Really, yeah!”
It seemed that the heavy rain was about to pass, she would need to pay more attention these days, just in case she could go out.
She had to be among the first to leave, and later, she would have to study the travel route some more.
Not to mention, when discussing with Song Yi and the others, they hadn’t thought to include the building materials market or the flower market.
And these two were her must-visit targets.
“Daughter, come and eat first, then you can go out and look after.”
“Okay!”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Jhiang Yuan replied but hesitated to move; not to mention the misty weather outside, even the outline of the building opposite was faint and indistinct.
For some reason, she felt incredibly oppressed in her heart.
It was as if there was something she had forgotten, as if there were a hole in her heart.
“Hurry up, daughter.”
Qin Yue was afraid the soup would cool and kept calling her.
“Okay!”
…
After breakfast, she got ready to head out.
Seeing this, Jhiang Xingzhi also wanted to go out.
“Dad, I’m just going to see if the rain has really gotten lighter; I’m not going out.”
Because of the wind, there was a light rain in the house, and the window in the corridor was directly opposite ours.
The rain couldn’t reach it, and it even slanted backward.
Therefore, if you were to check the windows, the corridor window would be the best choice.
“Then I’ll go with you; I’m not at ease with you going alone.”
“Alright then!”
Jhiang Yuan couldn’t argue against it, so she let him come with her.
As they opened the door to the stairwell, Song Yi also came out.
He was always so punctual, as if he anticipated her anticipation.
“It looks like the rain is easing, I came to check it out.”
“Let’s do it together!”
Song Yi said, and went over to help open the window.
As soon as they opened it, the cold air came in, causing an involuntary shiver.
Song Yi took out a sheet of paper and stretched it out of the window.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t understand what he was doing – what was the point of that? But she didn’t interrupt.
About a minute later, he released his hold and the now-wet sheet of paper fell down.
“The wind is weaker, but the rain doesn’t seem to have changed.”
Jhiang Yuan craned her neck to look and was somewhat puzzled.
“What were you doing just now?”
“I was just testing something, it’s pretty simple, I’ll tell you about it another time,” he replied before calling over Jhiang Xingzhi, and the two of them shut the window.
“With the wind dying down, we can start to move.”
Jhiang Yuan, thinking about the materials needed for upgrades, was already impatient to start.
