Chapter 46 Moral Kidnapping
"Little girl, you are so pretty, and you look like a kind person. Hey, your umbrella looks quite useful. Can you lend it to me for a while? I will return it to you when I come back. I am old and useless. I will get a headache and catch a cold if I get caught in the rain. It will be a real pain if I catch a cold today."
After Han Ying put on her equipment, she stood aside waiting for others. A middle-aged woman who was about 50 years old kept staring at the umbrella hat on Han Ying's head and asked her with a flattering smile.
"If you're afraid of catching a cold, then don't go out. Just stay in bed and have a good sleep, and everything will be fine!"
Han Ying's expression was indifferent, as if she didn't hear the aunt's moral blackmail against her, and she responded without any emotional fluctuation.
Want to blackmail me morally?
Doesn't exist!
In this life, Han Ying has only one principle when facing these people!
That is, as long as I have no morals, morality cannot hold me hostage!
When the other people nearby heard Han Ying's words against the old lady, some snickered while others looked disapproving.
"Hey, little girl, how can you talk like that? Do you have any virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young? I see that the brim of your raincoat is quite long, and I won't get wet if I put it down. So lend me your umbrella. I'm not greedy for your things, and I'll return it when I get back. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch a cold if I get wet in the rain later."
As the old lady spoke, she was about to reach out to pull the umbrella cap off Han Ying's head, but Han Ying dodged by turning sideways.
The brim of the old lady's raincoat is actually quite large, so she won't get wet by lowering her head when she puts it down.
However, he felt itchy when he saw that Han Ying had a better tool to keep out the rain. Anyway, girls are thin-skinned, so he could achieve his goal by a little moral blackmail. But he didn't expect that this girl was quite shrewd and couldn't be fooled.
"If you want me to respect the elderly, you have to love the young. How about this? I'm a little afraid of water. You carry me to the supermarket, and then I lend you my umbrella. This way you won't catch a cold and I won't be afraid of water. It's killing two birds with one stone. How about it?"
Hearing the aunt's words, a smile appeared on Han Ying's face.
She lowered her head slightly and looked at the aunt with a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she would jump on her back immediately as long as the aunt nodded in agreement.
When the aunt heard Han Ying’s words, she was stunned. How could this be possible?
It seems that this little girl can’t be fooled!
"Ah, young girls nowadays are so rude. They act like others owe them eight million. They really don't have any moral integrity. I don't know what society can expect from them in the future!"
Han Ying was already dressed and was about to go into the water, ignoring the old lady.
At this time, another woman who looked to be in her thirties jumped out and accused her.
"Auntie, you are polite and virtuous, right? I see that your inflatable swimming pool is quite big. Auntie is old and probably doesn't have much strength in her hands, so you can bring her things back later. Also, your umbrella is quite big, and Auntie is old and afraid of catching a cold in the rain, so you can hold the umbrella for her later!"
Han Ying looked at the nosy woman and spoke like a machine gun.
After saying that, he did not forget to look at the auntie next to him, as if to say, I have arranged everything for you, no need to thank me.
After hearing Han Ying's words, I didn't expect that the aunt actually looked at the woman next to her with anticipation.
"Who are you calling auntie? You little bitch..."
The woman ignored the expectant look on the aunt's face and glared at Han Ying.
When the woman’s husband saw that the aunt was really going to rely on their family, he immediately slapped his wife on the back.
"Go over there, what do you want?"
Seeing her husband getting angry, the woman's face was full of grievance, and then she looked resentfully at Han Ying who had already gone into the water.
Looking at the farce next to him, Lu Yuan had an ambiguous smile in his eyes.
Taking a look at the girl in front of him who was fully armed with a backpack bulge on her back, he inexplicably found the scene a little funny.
The group, fully armed and carrying their own tools, set off towards the supermarket.
The rain was coming down very heavily, and the sound of the rain hitting the raincoats was so deafening that no one was in the mood to chat.
He just lowered his head and carefully used a stick to explore the road ahead bit by bit.
Because of the continuous heavy rain, many manhole covers were opened. What if I accidentally fell in?
Judging from the current water level, it is almost a life-and-death situation!
The water had already reached above the knees, and Han Ying carefully used her trekking pole to probe the road surface bit by bit.
She only dared to pay a little attention to the shops and buildings on both sides of the road.
Most of the shops on the roadside are closed, only one or two are still standing strong.
The original 700-800-meter distance would take 20 minutes if you were walking slowly, or 10 minutes if you were walking fast.
But today, it took everyone more than half an hour to reach the supermarket.
This is a four-story supermarket that sells almost all food and daily necessities.
The terrain of this supermarket is relatively high, so the water only reached the entrance at this time.
There were dozens of sandbags piled up at the entrance to prevent the water from overflowing.
Everyone left the tools they brought outside and did not bring them in.
After all, the order is still very good now, and few people will steal tools left outside by others.
After agreeing on a time to go back later, everyone rushed into the supermarket.
Although it was still raining heavily outside, there were still many people buying things in the supermarket.
Everyone was pushing a big shopping cart, and the largest items in it were rice, flour, grain and oil.
Han Ying also pushed the largest shopping cart in the supermarket.
Not far from the entrance, he carried two 20-catties bags of rice, two barrels of oil, and two five-packs of instant noodles and put them in.
The price of rice has increased a lot compared to before, and a bag is more than ten yuan more expensive.
Then Han Ying wandered around the supermarket casually. The prices of fresh produce were now outrageously expensive!
A pound of lettuce costs 19 yuan, and a pound of cabbage costs 16.2 yuan!
Apples are 23.8 yuan, oranges are 21 yuan!
Durian 80 yuan!
Although it's expensive, there are still a lot of things.
When everyone saw that there were still so many dishes on the shelf, they all relaxed.
People are like this. If there were few vegetables on the vegetable shelves or things on the supermarket shelves, everyone would definitely fight for them.
Regardless, the prices above are already ridiculously expensive!
But there are still a lot of things in the supermarket now, so everyone can easily choose while complaining about the supermarket's unscrupulous selling at such high prices.
And I plan to take photos and report it after I buy it.
Although there were many people in the supermarket, there was no panic buying.
Maybe this has something to do with the shouting at the supermarket front desk.
Han Ying heard people on every floor shouting that the supermarket had sufficient stock and not to rush to buy anything.
After hearing this, the people's original intention of going on a shopping spree became less enthusiastic.
Only some things that are urgently needed now are picked out. Of course, rice and flour are still carried in bags.
"Xiao Han, why don't you buy a few more bags of rice?"
Wu Tingfang asked anxiously when she saw that there were only two bags of rice in Han Ying's shopping cart.
"I still have two bags at home. If I don't finish them, they will be infested with worms."
Han Ying didn't take more staple food because she didn't want to compete with others.
After all, there were already countless mountains of rice, flour and other things piled up in her space.
