Aunt Fan used the stove to boil water and made a bowl of milk powder. She brought the powdered milk to Wang Shujuan and said to her softly, "Shujuan, come here, drink this bowl of milk powder first."

Wang Shujuan opened her eyes and saw the bowl of milk powder in front of her. She was a little surprised and said, "Mom, why did you open this bucket of milk powder? It's too wasteful for me to drink it. I'd better save it for the baby!"

Milk powder was a priceless treasure in the past, but now it is nowhere to be found on the market, not even on the black market.

These two barrels of milk powder were brought by Xia Shige and Sun Yuegui before. Aunt Fan and her family of three had kept them as treasures and were reluctant to take them out to eat. They planned to save them for the unborn baby in Wang Shujuan's belly.

I didn't expect Aunt Fan to open the two barrels of milk powder right now.

Aunt Fan carefully put the bowl into Wang Shujuan's arms and insisted, "Drink it quickly. There's still a bucket! It's enough for the baby to drink!"

Wang Shujuan had severe edema in the past two days. She couldn't eat and couldn't sleep well. Seeing that her due date was approaching, Aunt Fan was worried.

In this situation, they can only give birth at home. Since ancient times, pregnant women giving birth have been in danger of death. It is not known whether the baby can be born safely. You can't let pregnant women starve just to save food for the baby.

Wang Shujuan smelled the sweet aroma of milk and couldn't help swallowing. At Aunt Fan's insistence, she picked up the bowl and drank the milk in it.

Seeing this, Aunt Fan nodded with satisfaction, took the bowl, and whispered, "It's getting late, Shujuan, you should go to bed early."

But just as she finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door.

The knock on the door came so suddenly that both Aunt Fan and Wang Shujuan were startled.

It’s the middle of the night and it’s so cold outside, who would come over?

The two looked at each other and saw doubt and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

After a moment of stunned silence, Aunt Fan stood up and whispered, "You lie down first, I'll go out and take a look..."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the bedroom door.

Seeing this, Wang Shujuan quickly called out to her in a low voice: "Mom! Please stop!"

The apartment building has not been safe these days. Wang Shujuan and Aunt Fan heard faint cries for help and screams from outside a few days ago, and it seemed that there was a sound of someone falling from the building.

Wang Shujuan looked worried and lowered her voice to Aunt Fan, "Mom, it's almost dawn now. Who would come here at this time? It's very likely to be a bad guy! Don't worry!"

Aunt Fan gave Wang Shujuan a comforting look and replied, "Don't worry, I'll just come over to take a look. I won't open the door."

Aunt Fan picked up the kitchen knife beside the stove while speaking. If it really was someone with bad intentions, she would still have to be on guard.

Aunt Fan walked to the door with a kitchen knife in hand, and the knocking sound continued.

She took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Soon a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Aunt Fan, it's me, Xia Shige, please open the door."

Aunt Fan was stunned when she heard this - it was Xia Shige? !

After she reacted, she quickly threw away the kitchen knife, opened the door and let Xia Shige in.

Xia Shige was holding a cell phone with the flashlight on. When she saw Aunt Fan open the door, she hurried into the house.

Although she was wrapped in a thick down jacket and covered with hot packs, she still felt very cold!

Seeing Xia Shige's red face from the cold, Aunt Fan asked in surprise: "Miss Xia, it's so cold outside, why did you come here?!"

Xia Shige frowned slightly and said to Aunt Fan, "Aunt Fan, a friend of my neighbor is missing. I suspect she has died... Have you seen any strangers die in the past few days?"
