Fortunately, the family in apartment 601 was already startled by Xia Ning's sudden outburst and was too distracted to notice the subtle sparring between the residents on the 8th floor.
Seeing that the situation was taking a sharp turn for the worse, Yunyun's mother's father-in-law finally broke the silence of the majority.
His wrinkled face wore a simple and honest expression. He first scolded his wife for being short-sighted and unruly, then gave his son a light kick. Finally, he rubbed his hands together and said to Xia Ning that they were used to being uncouth in the countryside, and that he was just saying what he meant because he loved his grandson.
"Boss, why aren't you apologizing yet?"
The old man said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man muttered reluctantly under his breath, "...I'm...sorry."
Xia Ning raised an eyebrow: "Telling me won't help."
The old man then turned to his wife and scolded, "Do you really think this is a village? City people are sophisticated; it's not a place for you to throw tantrums and cause trouble."
Xia Ning chuckled, "The villagers don't want to be represented by them."
Her grandparents and maternal grandparents all made a living by farming, and she had never seen them crying, making a scene, or threatening suicide at someone else's doorstep.
601 suffered another defeat and left in disgrace.
Including Shu Qilan, Xia Ning has been harassed by the person on the 6th floor at least three times. Although it can relieve boredom and add some drama to her boring stay-at-home life, Xia Ning just wants to be a bystander and not become the target of harassment.
With their thick skin, they will never learn from their mistakes and might even bother us again.
Xia Ning nodded, feeling she had to do something.
After this incident, Xia Ning thought she would become famous overnight in the stairwell.
Given Yunyun's mother's personality, she would inevitably speak ill of Xia Ning wherever she went, causing people around her to keep their distance.
The result was both unexpected and reasonable.
The men in the 601 household felt ashamed of this matter and strictly forbade the women in the family from gossiping about it.
Those who heard the commotion in the hallway tried to subtly inquire about the situation, but were driven away by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's combined scolding.
This family is a perfect match; the men are tough at home, and the women are tough outside.
In the end, Xia Ning's presence remained extremely weak, while 601's reputation and popularity continued to decline.
Shu Qilan, who lives next door, knows a thing or two, but she dislikes Yunyun's mother very much, so her attitude towards Xia Ning has improved. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Of course, Shu Qilan only remembered Xia Ning's name and the address 802, but not Xia Ning's appearance.
After all, Shu Qilan reserved all her brain storage space for handsome men.
But that's a story for another time; for now, 601 has temporarily calmed down.
Xia Ning glanced at the remaining dirty water on the ground, pretending not to see it; it was her sister's bathwater, and had nothing to do with her.
I originally intended to give it to the mimic monster, but I ended up giving it to the humanoid monster instead.
Zhang Changheng expressed his gratitude to Xia Ning, Wang Wei, and Jiang Yuan.
Xia Ning waved her hand dismissively: "Didn't you support me before?"
Zhang Changheng smiled wryly. He had wanted to do Xia Ning a favor, but she simply forgave it.
Wang Wei shoved the kitchen knife into Jiang Yuan's hand, ignoring her husband's startled reaction, and ran straight to Xia Ning to examine her right hand.
"So you know kung fu!"
“No,” Xia Ning said, “I’m just a little strong, plus I exercise a lot.”
As a player with an attack power of 43 and a stamina of 111, if she can't beat an ordinary man, then all her hard work for a month will have been for nothing.
That brother-in-law is all bark and no bite; he's not even worthy of her using her skills.
Wang Wei touched the muscle lines on Xia Ning's arm with envy, feeling that she was wasting her time by staying at home doing nothing, and that she should get moving.
Xia Ning remained silent. Who else could keep the air conditioning on 24 hours a day like her?
In such hot weather, you could get heatstroke in no time if you just move around.
Everyone else's physical strength was constantly decreasing, unlike hers, which was constantly increasing.

The rain kept pouring down, and it was pitch black outside.
People used to be active at night and rested during the day, but now it's impossible to distinguish between day and night.
The concept of time seems to have become blurred.
At the same time, the news became delayed, and people did not know whether the typhoon had passed or how serious the disaster was outside.
When the rain subsided a little, the rescue team was dispatched.
Figures in protective suits began to appear outside the window, and kayaks crisscrossed the city's waterway. Because the fog hadn't yet dissipated, Xia Ning could only see the glow of fog lights.
Those lights, against the dark backdrop of the rain, looked just like lighthouses on the coast.
The arrival of the rescue team finally eased the tension among the residents. Immediately afterwards, repairs began on the signal station.
I heard that neighboring cities, where the disaster is more severe, have already arranged for mass relocations, and people in my community are also considering moving to higher ground to stay with relatives.
