Chapter 17: The Foolish Woman Forced to Sell Supplies
Heavy rain lasted for a day and a night, and the first floor of Jiayuan Community was almost submerged.
Some people in the group began to ask for help, and many people were crying, especially the residents on the first and second floors.
1-1-102: Neighbors, my house is about to be flooded. Can anyone take us in?
2-1-101: It's the same at my house. Why is it raining so heavily? Is it really going to flood my house?
1-2-201: I’m so scared that the second floor will also be flooded.
3-2-194: Weren’t we notified to move to the lower floors? Why aren’t you moving?
1-1-102: Where can I move to? I’m from another city, I don’t have any relatives here, and I don’t even have money to stay in a hotel.
2-1-193: Why not contact the property management?
3-1-1104: The property management should stop playing dead and help solve the problem immediately.
Gu Luan had just woken up and was checking his phone for a while when he realized that the heavy rain was about to flood the first floor.
After thinking about it carefully, was the rainstorm in the previous life so severe? Why did she remember that people started asking for help only two days later?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Gu Luan's expression changed slightly and he stood up and walked to the window.
The sky seemed to have a big hole in it, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
The ground was flooded into a river, the water kept flowing, and a lot of garbage was faintly visible floating on the water surface.
Gu Luan rubbed his hair irritably, but couldn't tell whether the rain was getting heavier or not.
She always felt like something was out of her control, and this feeling was very unsettling and uncomfortable.
Breakfast was a bowl of wontons, an egg and a glass of milk.
After dinner, Gu Luan tidied up the space as usual, and also entered the space to inspect the empire he had built. He never got tired of looking at it every day.
The space can only be used for ten minutes a day and cannot be stacked, which is a small drawback.
But people should be content. She is already luckier than many people.
After a good rest, start daily exercise, running, boxing, speed and dodging.
Five days later, the Jiayuan community group started to get noisy, and the heavy rain had already flooded the third floor.
In addition to those who moved out early, there are still many people left on the first to third floors of the three buildings. The property management has no choice but to arrange them into unrenovated houses.
The move was not over yet, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was blowing hard. It was unbearable without windows, and the group of people were crying in the group.
In addition to this, there are people who are already short of food.
The man who said last time that he would not stock up on goods @his neighbor on the 15th floor in the group.
3-2-1703: Last time you said you wanted to sell me something. I wanted a bag of rice and a box of instant noodles. Please deliver them to me.
The person on the fifteenth floor didn't reply. I don't know if he didn't see it or was deliberately not replying.
Gu Luan put down her phone and stopped paying attention to all this, and started cooking today.
She took out the wonton wrappers, mixed the meat filling, and prepared to make the wontons.
Melodious music echoed in the living room, and the noise outside could not disturb Gu Luan.
Huihui walked around the room, occasionally coming over to take a sniff.
When she had made more than 300 dumplings, Gu Luan heard a commotion coming from downstairs.
She didn't want to pay any attention to it, but she found that the noise was getting louder and louder, almost affecting her.
With a gloomy face, Gu Luan put the wrapped dumplings into the space, opened the door and walked out. Huihui wanted to follow him out, but Gu Luan didn't let him.
Arriving at the fifteenth floor, Gu Luan stood far away and watched.
Several people knocked loudly on the door of Room 2 on the 15th floor.
The leader was wearing a floral shirt, a gold necklace, and holding a cigarette, looking nonchalant.
"Open the door, or I'll tear it down."
Seeing that the people in Room 2 were quiet, the man in the flowered shirt kicked the door again and again.
There were several people standing behind the man in the flowered shirt.
There were people both young and old, and they were all filled with indignation, as if the people in Room 2 had done something terribly evil.
The door was shaking and about to be kicked open. The sound of a young girl sobbing could be heard from inside the room. “Brother, there is nothing to eat at home. Please stop kicking my door.”
"Little girl, this is wrong. You posted a lot of food a few days ago. How come you finished it so quickly?"
The old lady in her early sixties looked dissatisfied and criticized loudly.
The sound of crying in the house was getting louder and louder. Gu Luan guessed that she must be regretting showing off her stockpiled supplies.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and we can't go out. Everyone knows how important supplies are right now, so they definitely don't dare to sell them.
If she really wanted to sell supplies for that little money, she could only be called a fool, a huge fool.
"Forget it, after all, it's the girl's stuff, you can't force her to sell it!"
Some people in the crowd couldn't bear it and spoke up for the girl in Room 2, and many others agreed.
It's not a desperate situation and there are still many good people, but these good people will soon disappear due to food shortage.
"Say it again if you dare? I'll come to your house right away."
The man in the flowered shirt turned around and glanced at the people who were talking, with a ferocious look on his face.
The viciousness of the man in the flowered shirt frightened everyone into silence, and no one dared to speak for the people in Room 2 anymore.
The sound of kicking the door rang out again. The girl in Room 2 couldn't bear it anymore and opened the door. Her face turned pale with fear. "I can only sell you a bag of rice. Any more... I have no more."
"No, I also want a box of instant noodles."
The guy in the flowered shirt said loudly, and the girl had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that she agreed, the old lady who had just blackmailed her came forward immediately and said, "Girl, there's nothing to eat at home, so you can sell some to me."
The girl didn't want to agree, and the old lady scolded her when she saw her expression, "How come you don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young? My family is almost starving to death. You have so many things, why don't you sell some to me?"
The girl's face turned red and she had no choice but to agree.
Someone else spoke up later, and in order to avoid public outrage, the girl who was being criticized sold a lot of the goods she had stockpiled.
Gu Luan leaned against the wall and whispered, "Stupid!"
After saying that, Gu Luan strode away without looking any further.
She was afraid that if she continued watching, she would not be able to control herself.
Zhang Yan looked at her back, then looked at the girl crying at the door, and nodded in agreement. It was indeed stupid!
On the tenth day of the heavy rain, the rain reached the fifth floor and the place was filled with grief.
"It's daybreak?"
"It's daybreak now. Will the rain stop soon?"
"Great, we are almost free."
Gu Luan has very good hearing and can hear every sound coming from upstairs and downstairs clearly.
The sky outside finally brightened, but unfortunately the rain still showed no sign of stopping.
It won’t be long before the electricity and water are cut off one after another. I don’t know how many people will go crazy by then.
Besides exercising, Gu Luan also cooks at home every day, filling her time so as not to get bored.
On the fifteenth day of the rainstorm, Gu Luan heard a desperate voice in his sleep early in the morning.
"The power went out. Why did it go out?"
"How can we cook? This is going to kill us!"
Gu Luan stretched, got up, washed, and started a new day by eating, getting hot water, exercising, and cooking delicious food.
