On Saturday morning, Bi Qiaoan lingered in bed for a long time before deciding to get up and have breakfast.
"Honey, it's so cold at home!" Bi Qiaoan said, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms, sounding slightly aggrieved.
"Then I'll turn the air conditioning up a few degrees." Shen Yanming took out a hot water bottle from his spatial storage, filled it with hot water, and handed it to Bi Qiaoan. "Put it on your lap to warm up."
Bi Qiaoan held the hot water bottle between her thighs, and the warmth spread through her pajamas to her limbs.
Bi Qiaoan finally felt a bit better. After eating a few mouthfuls of sweet porridge, she said, "In previous years, we had heating in winter, but this year it probably won't be available. I think I'm being really dramatic. It's not even the coldest time yet and I'm already feeling a bit uncomfortable."
Air conditioning and heating are different. Heating keeps a room warm all day, while air conditioning is fine when it's on, but once it's turned off, or you're not facing it, you'll feel very cold.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said, "Then let's light a small stove at home?"
"Should we give birth now? I'm afraid if we give birth too early, we won't be able to gradually adapt to the cold."
"It's okay. Even if you want to improve your cold resistance, you can't just freeze like this."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and didn't speak to Shen Yanming anymore. After they finished breakfast, they felt warm all over.
Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming changed into thermal underwear and fleece-lined leather coats. They took out several 5L bottles of purified water, some toilet paper, dried vegetables, and instant noodles from their space. It took the two of them three trips to carry all the supplies into the car.
First, go to Shuirun Jiacheng to get those medicinal lilies, then go to Shuiyunli to get that potted yew...
Bi Qiaoan visited each netizen's home, from closest to furthest, to exchange rare plants for a fee. Finally, Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming arrived at the Dream City residential area.
They took out two packs of toilet paper and 10L of purified water to exchange with an online friend in Block B of Dream City for the pair of mynah birds. Then, Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming drove to Block A and decided to go see Song Wennuan and Jiang Shanshan.
They had never been to this neighborhood before, and they hadn't notified Song Wenuan in advance. Bi Qiaoan's sudden visit today was to give her and Jiang Shanshan a surprise.
To her surprise, instead of a pleasant surprise, Bi Qiaoan received a shock!
After parking the car, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got out and went to find Building No. 7 with the gift bags.
When they finally found it, they discovered that there were hundreds of people gathered around Building 7.
Bi Qiaoan frowned and pulled Shen Yanming through the crowd to go inside.
"Excuse me, could you move aside?"
"Hey, don't push! If you're late, just watch the show from outside. Why are you pushing?"
"Excuse me, we need to go inside the building. Could you please let us through? Thank you!"
Those who were squeezed in front heard Qiao An say that she wasn't there to watch the show, so they pushed aside to make way for her.
After thanking him, Bi Qiaoan pulled Shen Yanming forward, but before she could even squeeze to the front, she heard a shrill female voice: "You slut, did the country train you just to be someone's mistress? Shameless whore, slut!"
"Sister Fang, I didn't!"
"You didn't go out to eat with my husband and buy him jewelry, did you? Don't tell me you didn't. You're such a young woman, of all people you could like, why did you have to fall for someone who's already married with children? Your taste is quite unique!"
"Sister Fang, listen to me, I really didn't..."
"You're talking nonsense! There are witnesses and physical evidence. What are you pretending to be, innocent? I've seen plenty of people like you. Look at your slutty face, you were born to be a mistress. Do you have any respect for the country? Why the hell don't you just die?"
After overcoming numerous obstacles, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan finally managed to squeeze to the building entrance, only to find a crazy woman grabbing and pinching Song Wenwen. Song Wenwen looked aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. Jiang Shanshan stood beside Song Wenwen, protecting her, while onlookers pointed and whispered about her.
Upon seeing this, Bi Qiaoan panicked and immediately stepped forward to break up the fight. However, she overestimated her fighting ability. Although she and Jiang Shanshan managed to separate the crazy woman and Song Wenuan, Bi Qiaoan's arm was twisted several times. It was only because she was wearing thick clothes that she was spared; otherwise, it would probably have been bruised.
Bi Qiaoan took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe Song Wenwen's tears, only to find that Song Wenwen's cheeks were red and swollen, indicating that she had been beaten!
Bi Qiaoan looked at Jiang Shanshan, who then whispered a brief explanation.
It turned out that the crazy woman was the wife of Song Wenwen's colleague. Half an hour earlier, she had been shouting and cursing in the community with a megaphone, saying that Song Wenwen was shameless and seduced her husband. When Song Wenwen heard this, she panicked and hurriedly went downstairs to explain, only to find that the area downstairs was already blocked.
When the crazy woman saw Song Wenwen coming downstairs, she slapped Song Wenwen without saying a word. Jiang Shanshan followed Song Wenwen downstairs because she was worried, but she was too late and watched helplessly as Song Wenwen was hit.
After that, the crazy woman fully unleashed her shrewish and unreasonable nature, hurling all sorts of insults without giving Song Wenuan a chance to explain. If Jiang Shanshan hadn't been there to protect her, Song Wenuan would probably have been in even worse shape.
Bi Qiaoan was furious when she heard this. She shielded Song Wenwen behind her and glared at the crazy woman, saying, "Sister, you say my friend seduced your husband? Then tell everyone how she did it and what evidence you have."
Seeing two more people arrive, the crazy woman shouted, her voice trembling with fear, "What evidence do you need? I am the evidence! I say she's a mistress, so she is a mistress! If she hadn't interfered in our marriage, why would my husband ignore me?"
"Big sister, you think you're right to slander me? If you're so capable, show me the evidence! If you can't give me a coherent explanation today, we'll call the police. Do you think things are still like they were decades ago, where you can just spout off and get someone convicted? You've ruined my best friend's reputation without any proof, and I'm going to sue you for defamation today!"
Seeing that Bi Qiaoan didn't seem to be bluffing, the crazy woman took out the photo from her bag and threw it at Bi Qiaoan's face. "Pah! You're her best friend, of course you have to speak up for her. I think you and she are cut from the same cloth, destined to be mistresses!"
Shen Yanming was watching a group of women arguing and didn't want to get involved, but he couldn't stand the crazy woman's words about Bi Qiaoan. "Ma'am, please be more polite. My wife is not someone you can insult at will. If you can't control your mouth, I don't mind pulling your tongue out."
Bi Qiaoan felt really safe with Shen Yanming by her side. She was no longer afraid of the crazy woman suddenly attacking her. She squatted down and picked up the photo.
The photo does indeed show a man and a woman, Song Wenuan and that man. Bi Qiaoan doesn't know what's going on between them, but at this moment, out of personal consideration, she wants to protect her best friend.
Holding up the photos, Bi Qiaoan gave a mocking smile to those around her, "Sister, you're concluding my best friend and your husband are having an affair based on just a few photos?"
