Chapter 84: Was it just frostbite and unconsciousness? Didn't he die instantly?
Putting down her phone, Lin Muyan ignored Shen Jiaojiao and began to savor the food.
Even though it's the end of the world and she has no shortage of supplies, she should still respect food and enjoy it properly.
The two photos Lin Muyan sent were like two torpedoes thrown into a calm lake, instantly igniting Shen Jiaojiao's anger.
Shen Shiqiu noticed that Shen Jiaojiao's expression was off, snatched the phone, and saw Lin Muyan's cheeky selfie.
He frowned, surprised that Lin Muyan was eating such a lavish meal.
Moreover, judging from the background of the photo, the decoration is very sophisticated, and the environment is even better than that of the Shen family.
They even turned on the underfloor heating and radiators, but the villa's insulation wasn't very good, so they had to wear cotton-padded coats to barely feel warm at home.
If you get close to the door, you can even feel a bone-chilling cold seeping in; the temperature inside the villa is far from warm enough to take off your outer clothes.
But Lin Muyan was able to eat hot pot while wearing short sleeves, and she was even sweating!
Mrs. Shen craned her neck and saw the photo on the phone. She was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Why does Lin Muyan eat better than us? Has she stockpiled a lot of food at home?"
Mrs. Shen was incredibly jealous when she saw the fresh beef, mutton, and seafood.
She wasn't particularly craving it right now, but the thought that Lin Muyan was living a better life than them made her very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Shen's exclamation naturally caught the attention of the Wang family, and Wang Defa and the others also saw the hot pot that Lin Muyan was eating.
When he saw the meager soup and a few vegetable leaves in front of them, Wang Defa immediately slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Damn it, that damned woman Wang Yanqin, she's living such a good life and she doesn't even think of helping me out."
Grandpa Wang's hands trembled with anger: "It's true what they say, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; we raised her for nothing!"
"No way!" Old Mrs. Wang said to Mr. and Mrs. Wang Defa, her face contorted with rage, as she threw down her chopsticks.
"That brat doesn't care whether we live or die. It's probably Lin Muyan who instigated her. She's also the one who's been hogging the house. Yanqin and Lin Jianbin are two useless bastards. I, this old woman, will go and confront that Lin Muyan myself!"
Old Mrs. Wang got up, forcefully pulled the coat off her daughter-in-law, put it on herself, and then made Wang Defa give the coat to her husband. She then said:
“Let’s go together. Defa and Yanqin have a conflict, so his going might not be effective. I don’t believe they can really bear to see this old man like me freezing outside!”
Old Master Wang hesitated for a moment. He looked at the sky outside, his heart pounding, and he was extremely unwilling.
Upon seeing this, Wang Defa instantly hatched a hundred schemes and approached the old man to urge him on.
"Dad, only you and Mom can handle this. My sister doesn't like me, so they'll probably treat you better if I don't show up."
"Let us in after you've successfully entered her house. I'll deal with them as soon as we walk in!"
"And Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry. What if my sister doesn't open the door? I'll still be at the Shen family's house, won't I?"
The old man thought to himself, "That makes sense. My daughter and son-in-law used to be so obedient. They would give me money whenever they asked. As long as I use my authority as their parents to pressure them, they'll be completely submissive."
It's most likely that Lin Muyan is behind this, and her daughter and son-in-law are being manipulated.
Let's wait until he and his wife come to our door and start crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. Let's see how they handle that.
The two old men, wrapped in thick cotton-padded coats, left the Shen family's house and, supporting each other, trudged towards the Lin family's safe house.
As they walked, they pondered how to deal with Lin Muyan later.
I stumbled along, my feet sinking into the deep water, and after only a few steps I felt ice-cold all over, as if I were about to die on the spot.
On Lin Muyan's side, no one checked the surveillance system during mealtime, so naturally they didn't know that two old men were recklessly rushing over there.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Muyan thought she should check on the Shen and Wang families' situations. Seeing that no more messages popped up on her phone, she went to the monitoring room.
As a result, she saw several disheveled figures struggling in the snow amidst the vast expanse of white snow.
The camera zooms in, and lo and behold, there are two figures lying straight down in the snow? It seems that Wang Defa and his wife are dragging the two people back.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and then sent a message to Shen Jiaojiao.
"Have you eaten enough? The Wang family has seven mouths to feed, is your little bit of vegetable leaves enough?"
Shen Jiaojiao completely forgot about being angry and quickly replied to her.
"Sister Muyan, something bad has happened! Your grandparents seem to have suffered frostbite and are currently unconscious."
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow. So those two figures were Wang Defa's old men. How interesting. Sending two old geezers out to lead the charge was something Wang Defa would do.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan asked in return:
"Was it just frostbite and unconsciousness? Didn't he die instantly?"
Shen Jiaojiao: "She's unconscious, and her condition is very bad. Her grandmother is talking nonsense and wants to see her daughter one last time."
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this, and casually typed a few words: "Not dead? What a pity..."
Seeing Lin Muyan's heartless words, Shen Jiaojiao was at a loss for what to do next.
She knew that no matter what, Lin Muyan would never have any sympathy for the Wang family.
Shen Jiaojiao was extremely anxious and felt a growing sense of panic.
The situation has far exceeded her control. It shouldn't be like this. Everything should be under her control.
If the Wang family is spared, Wang Defa and Wang Qiang are both fearless and reckless; they will definitely be able to deal with the Lin family.
Lin Muyan is just a girl after all; how powerful can she be?
Wang Yanqin, a woman blindly loyal and filial, would never deviate from the norm and do anything to betray her family.
When the Wang family moves in and takes over Lin Muyan's mansion, she will use money as bait to get Wang Defa to transfer the house.
In this way, everything Lin Muyan had would belong to her.
But no one expected that the apocalypse would come so swiftly.
Shen Jiaojiao had guessed that the end of the world was coming. She knew that Lin Muyan was stockpiling goods and that the mansion had been renovated. She just didn't expect that the end of the world was so close and that God didn't give her enough time to plan.
She thought for a moment, then sent Lin Muyan a voice message, and finally said:
"Sister Muyan, they are, after all, your maternal grandparents. Even if you don't want to take care of them, what about your mother? As their daughter, do you want your mother to be stigmatized as unfilial?"
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow and clicked on the voice message. It was something Shen Jiaojiao wanted Wang Yanqin to hear. The message was full of moral blackmail, and she just wanted to pass the seven hot potatoes from the Wang family to the Lin family.
But if Shen Jiaojiao hadn't been so blinded by greed and had harbored malicious intentions, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
The entire chat was filled with curses and insults.
Er Gouzi has changed. She's become someone I don't recognize at all. It's hard to imagine these words coming from her mouth.
I was so blind back then to think she was kind and harmless.
Lin Muyan, I admit I spoke too loudly to you before...
Lin Muyan swiped her phone a couple of times; the alarm went off, it was time for her to go treasure hunting.
She immediately closed the chat interface with Shen Jiaojiao, returned to her room, and took out a small shovel.
The thick snow on the terrace completely buried the soil she had originally reserved, and Lin Muyan suddenly had an idea.
Will digging for treasure in the snow yield some unexpected treasures?
