Chapter 11: Knock on the door



The WeChat owners' group was also constantly ringing. Jiang Yuan felt that it was better to live together and not be isolated from the people, so she read all the messages one by one.

0802: Is it too late to buy a generator now? Are there any friends who would like to buy one?

0302: Raise your hand, I want it.

0902: It’s so quiet outside now. Who’s going out to buy it? I guess we can’t even get out of the community.

1201: If we get infected with herpes again, we will all be dead.

0802: What should I do? It’s so hot. Please kindly ask a neighbor to take me in (with three pitiful expressions)

0902: Neighbors who bought a generator before, please contribute some of the fuel. It’s too hot. Please save the baby!

0802: Good people will have a peaceful life.

0601: Good people will have a peaceful life +1 . She glanced at the content after that and found that it was all about asking people who had generators at home to contribute some fuel and take it to the property to support the generators.

After buying a generator, you will definitely buy fuel, but since they are all purchased by individuals, who can stock up much?

Someone @ed someone who had bought a generator before, but no one said anything for a long time. The chat group had already changed from suggestions at the beginning to condemnations.

0302: Give everyone some. We are all neighbors, so please don’t be like this, okay?

0201: Yes, yes, it’s getting really hot. We can just pay you a little bit so you don’t get it for free…

0802: Why is no one talking? It can’t be that serious…

1801: My family bought a generator, but we don't have much fuel left. Please let me go! 1402: Yes, everyone doesn't have much fuel left. Please don't use moral blackmail...

0802: Who are you calling moral blackmail? We are just neighbors, why are you so stingy? Besides, it’s not like we’re not paying.

0202: Even if you don't take out the fuel, you can still let us use the air conditioning at your place. That should be fine. One more person will use up the same amount of fuel anyway.

0302: Yes, yes, please take me in...

0802: Are there any neighbors who want to purchase? Let’s do another chain game. We will always be able to get out.

Many people responded to his call and @ed the person who organized the purchase...

I really can’t bear to read the following information.

You see, once it comes to their own interests, everyone is selfish. This is human nature.

I was still secretly thankful that I didn't participate in the chain game in the group when the door of my house was knocked.

"Who could it be?" Mom was obviously a little nervous.

"I'll go check it out!"

Of course she didn't go out, because there was a surveillance camera at the door. Jiang Yuan turned on the display screen on the far left, which was their main entrance.

There were two men and one woman. I seemed to have some impression of one of them. They should be residents on the 20th floor downstairs. I had seen them during the renovation and they should have come to visit my home.

The first phase of Lushan Yayuan community consists of low-rise buildings, and the 21st floor is the top floor.

She had originally installed a door in the safety passage, but later when people moved in, she didn't lock it, which gave it an advantage to a group of uninvited guests.

Jiang Yuan pressed the call button and was connected to the door and could speak.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

The three men were probably shocked by her door and did not react until three seconds later.

The woman took the lead and said, "Hello, beautiful lady. We are our neighbors downstairs. I saw that you had the air conditioner on at home. You should have a generator!"

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything. She waited for a while and saw no response.

She continued, "It's like this, my baby is too young, can he come to your house for a while? The room temperature is too hot, and the child can't stand it."

"Is it okay?" Seeing that she didn't respond, he urged again.

"Sorry, it's not convenient." After saying that, Jiang Yuan directly pressed the end button.

"Hello, hello," the woman called out twice, and when she saw that she had indeed hung up, she knocked on the door and said something nasty.

What she didn't expect was that the three people did not go back, but turned and went in the direction of 2102.

Jiang Yuan quickly turned on another display screen. She guessed that the words were similar, but no one opened the door after calling for a long time.

Beautiful, next time she won’t make any noise, everyone can pretend to be dead.

The three people went downstairs cursing. The air conditioner was on the roof, and the sound of the outdoor unit could be heard as soon as the window was opened. To be on the safe side, they decided to turn on the fan next time.

She had a strong feeling that this power outage might not come back for a long time, so she had to be careful.

"Yuanyuan, there is indeed a child downstairs, probably only three or four years old. Otherwise, let the child come over. He is so young."

Dad glanced at Mom and gave her a look that said she was short-sighted: "You let him up today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

"My dad is right, mom. In this situation, we must not be soft-hearted. If you let them come today and not let them come tomorrow, not only will they not be grateful to you, they will also scold you."

My dad agrees with my point of view: "A little bit of kindness can bring resentment, that's what it means."

“Besides, we have so many things in our house that anyone who comes in will be discovered.

When they have nothing to eat or drink at home, they will definitely find a way to get it from us, and it will become natural after a while."

When it comes to sharing the food, my mother is nervous: "No, this won't work. We don't know how long this will last. I'm afraid there won't be enough food. We can't let them get away with it."

"Yeah. If we were to ask for help, they wouldn't take Xiao Nuan in just because she's a child."

After all, her own father doesn't care about her life or death.

"No more talking. I'll make you two whatever you want to eat today."

Seeing her mother's sudden enlightenment, Jiang Yuan felt relieved.

"Let's have the sweet and sour spareribs, and the spicy and sour shredded potatoes, both are appetizing."

"Okay, if my daughter wants to eat it, I'll make it for you."

My mother went to cook happily, she was not worried about the smell spreading.

The range hood at home is of the highest configuration, there is no smell at all, the effect is great!

Just as they were leisurely gnawing on the ribs, the doorbell rang again.

Damn it, is this going to end? Jiang Yuan ran to the entrance angrily and turned on the surveillance camera.

Hey, why is it 2102?

After hesitating for three seconds whether to open the door, I decided not to.

I pressed the call button: "Hello, what's up?"

"I'm from next door. Hello, I just added your WeChat. If you see this and agree, I'll give you this watermelon."

What the hell?

Are you here to deliver watermelon?

"Click~" Jiang Yuan opened the door. What on earth is this guy up to?

"What's the matter?"

It was obvious that the guy didn't expect her to open the door. After taking a look, he returned to his usual state.

"Someone downstairs came and knocked on the door today. I think they came to your house too."

So that's what it is!

“That’s right!”
