In the end, Bandina did not get the fresh meat she wanted to eat, but only a bunch of fresh water spinach and four frozen raw chicken legs.

With the hot weather nowadays, the livestock farming industry is basically paralyzed. Livestock have died of heat and thirst on a large scale. Fresh meat and vegetables have long been unsold. The meat currently on sale is basically various frozen products that have been preserved by expensive electricity.

Even if Si Nan had stockpiled a lot of fresh meat in the space, he would never take it out and expose the existence of his space under the current circumstances. He only told Ban Tianna that these frozen chicken legs were the medical fees collected by Cheng Suming. If she wanted to eat fresh meat, she couldn't get it.

Ban Tianna returned home with a bag of chicken legs in her hand and asked Ban Tianyi, "Brother, can you cook chicken legs?"

"What do you think?" Ban Tianyi picked up his low-battery laptop and started typing away, saying without turning his head, "Before I brought you home, I always ate takeout, and at most I cooked instant noodles, and never cooked a meal. You asked me to cook chicken legs, aren't you afraid that I'll ruin it?"

"Can't you learn?" Ban Tianna rolled her eyes. "You can't let a little kid like me cook for you for the rest of my life."

"No." Ban Tianyi answered very straightforwardly: "Some people are born to be good at cooking, and some are born to be useless at cooking. I belong to the latter. You look young, but your actual age is the same as mine. We are both experienced people. You have been acting like a child for so many years. Aren't you tired?"

"If I have a choice, I really want to pretend to be a child forever, so that I can live a carefree life, how wonderful it is." There was a sense of vicissitudes on Ban Tianna's childish face that was not in line with her age. After saying this, she resignedly picked up the chicken leg, took a small stool and walked to the kitchen, climbed onto the stool, and began to make honey chicken legs according to the recipe in her mind.

Si Nan had just closed the door and hadn't even sat down on the sofa when he heard a series of knocks on the iron door.

Cheng Wei and Yang Wentao were about to go back, and they took a look at who was knocking on the door. They quickly returned and said to Cheng Suming, "Brother, it was an auntie with a little girl knocking on the door. The auntie said that the little girl was the child of the couple in 1403, and the little girl's mother was beaten by her father again. The noise was so loud that several neighbors next door heard it. The auntie went to take a look and found that the girl's mother was bleeding a lot. She didn't look well. She asked you to go over and take a look."

Cheng Suming sat on the sofa unmoved. Cheng Wei knew what her brother meant and said carefully, "Brother, the mistress of 1403 is very pitiful. I heard that she is often abused by her husband. She is covered with bruises and even the child is not spared. The man also eats all the food and drinks at home for himself, leaving nothing for the mother and daughter. The police community came to the house several times but couldn't do anything. In this situation, they can't afford to ask you to see a doctor, but if you don't go, the woman may not survive tonight."

Cheng Su Ming finally turned around to look at Cheng Wei, but there was a half-smile on that handsome face, and his narrow eyes held an extremely sharp look. He didn't say a word, but he expressed clearly what he wanted to express.

Even if you are a saint, you still have to see if you have the ability to do it.

Cheng Wei's fair face flushed red. On the one hand, she felt that her brother was too cold and selfish. His demeanor and expression were deliberately mocking her. On the other hand, she felt that it was ridiculous that she wanted to be a saint even though she had no ability to save people. But she really couldn't bear to watch her neighbor die.

She was born into a wealthy and powerful family. Although she was only a branch of the Cheng family and was not favored by the main branch of the Cheng family, she was a child who had no worries about food and clothing and was spoiled since she was a child.

She had not seen too much darkness in people's hearts. The biggest time she was saved was by Si Nan and Yang Wentao, and thus she developed a bond with them.

This made her, who grew up under the red flag and believed that people should help each other when encountering difficulties, feel that she should not stand idly by and watch her neighbors in trouble.

She didn't understand why Cheng Suming, who had the ability to save people, didn't do anything. Seeing that Cheng Suming didn't move no matter how miserable the little girl cried in front of the iron gate, she went back to 1503 angrily, took out a large bag of Swiss rolls from a bedroom specially used for storing supplies, ran to 1501 angrily, threw the Swiss rolls on the sofa next to Cheng Suming, and glared at him: "I'll give you medical expenses on behalf of the mother and daughter. Is it enough? If not, I'll go get more."

Cheng Suming turned his head to look at Yang Wentao who had been following Cheng Wei, then looked back at Cheng Wei and said a few words coldly: "I hope you will always be so kind."

Obviously, the words sounded normal, but they had a different meaning when they came out of his mouth. Cheng Wei felt that she was being severely mocked by him and was extremely angry.

She watched him slowly get up, pick up the medical first aid kit and go out, and couldn't help complaining to Sinan: "Sister-in-law, look at my brother's behavior. He is a doctor. When a patient is in danger, he should go to save the patient without hesitation. But he actually wants to collect payment first before saving people, and he also mocks me openly and secretly for being a saint. Is this a doctor? We are neighbors, shouldn't we help each other? Isn't it said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors..."

"That being said, have you ever thought that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant? Some people, if you spare no effort to save them, they may thank you, but some people will become like the 'farmer and the snake', not only will they not be grateful to you, but they will bite you back and drag you to hell."

Si Nan said to her seriously, "Not everyone is kind and grateful. Human hearts cannot stand the test. The beauty you see is because someone has carried the burden for you and resisted all the darkness for you. Think about it, if I hadn't rescued you when you went to the class reunion, and if Yang Wentao hadn't been soft-hearted and came to help you when you asked for help, what would have become of you and me? The world we are about to face is a doomsday of natural disasters that humans cannot control. The darkness and malice of human nature will be released to the greatest extent in the days to come. Your brother doesn't want you to live in a fairy tale world forever, unable to distinguish between good and evil in the world. He hopes that you can think more about yourself, be a little selfish, and a little indifferent, so that you can live longer."

These words were like a stick that hit Cheng Wei's heart hard. She returned to her home dejectedly, and lay on the bed recalling the time when she was followed and molested. She desperately called for help. There were obviously several passers-by passing by, but they didn't want to cause trouble, so they pretended not to see anything and walked away.

If Si Nan hadn't come to save her, she would have taken the opportunity to run out and saw a roadside barbecue restaurant nearby. There were a few men with tattoos eating barbecue and talking about something with fierce faces. She mustered up the courage to ask them for help. Among them, Yang Wentao picked up the wine bottle and followed her without saying a word, and then the other men followed...

She didn't dare to think about what she would be like now without Si Nan and Yang Wentao.

"Weiwei, don't take your brother's words to heart." Yang Wentao saw her lying listlessly on the bed, and with some heartache, he handed her a cup of iced cola and said, "No matter what situation you are in, I will do my best to protect you and will not let you get hurt. Live the way you want, don't care about other people's opinions."

"Thank you Wentao. I'm lucky to meet you." Cheng Wei took the cup and took two sips. She forced a smile at him. "I know my brother is good to me, so he said that. But his way of doing things is not so easy for me to accept for the time being."

Yang Wentao lowered his eyes and said nothing. He had been struggling in society for more than ten years and had experienced the most dangerous things in the world. He once thought that he would continue to be decadent and rotten, but on that midsummer night, the beautiful girl who knew that they had exposed their big flowered arms and looked difficult to mess with was still fearless. She ran to him with tears in her eyes and asked for help. She said to him in a tone of a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger: "Big brother, we are all Z countrymen. When our countrymen encounter difficulties, you will definitely help me, right? You will definitely help me to save people, right?"

Being looked at with such a confident and trusting gaze, he remembered his identity, his nationality, and his blood at that moment, and picked up the bottle of wine to take care of things that he usually didn't bother to deal with.

But who would have known that later on, he would fall in love with that beautiful girl and stay with her forever.

He lovingly stroked a strand of hair on Cheng Wei's head and made a decision: "Weiwei, your concept is not wrong, and your brother's approach is also correct. I know it will be difficult for you to accept your brother's approach for a while, so why don't we do an experiment. If your concept wins, you will have plenty of reasons to stop your brother's speech and make him speechless. If he wins, from now on, you have to listen to me and your brother, okay?"

"What experiment?" Cheng Wei perked up.

Yang Wentao smiled mysteriously: "You will know soon."

A few days later, there was a knock on the door of room 1503.

Yang Wentao was cooking. When he heard a knock on the door, he immediately picked up a kitchen knife, showing his muscular arms, and walked from the kitchen to the living room to open the door.

Cheng Wei was startled by his movement and hurried to catch up. She tiptoed to look out the door through the peephole and found a pale, long-haired woman in her thirties standing outside the door, with a very young girl standing next to her. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is it? Is there something wrong?"

The woman outside the door raised her head, revealing the medical gauze on her forehead and a face that was bruised and swollen. She answered in a very soft voice, "I'm Fang Huaimeng from 1403. I came to thank you for helping me pay for my medical expenses last time."

"Oh, wait a minute then." Cheng Wei happily went to open the door, but Yang Wentao pulled her back. She looked back at him in confusion: "Can't open the door?"

No matter how naive and kind she was, she knew that the world was not good now and that there were cases of people using children and women as bait to trick people into opening the door and then breaking into houses to rob them.

These things were naturally caused by Si Nan and Yang Wentao brainwashing her every day and showing her the latest news.

She has become more careful now and knows not to open the door to anyone casually.

Yang Wentao: “You can open it, but you have to remember that our experiment begins from the moment you open the door.”

"What do you mean?" Cheng Wei was confused.

Yang Wentao smiled and said, "Open the door."
