Liu Nana, who had been smiling just now, now looked unhappy, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her voice was very harsh.
"What big eater? I think she just doesn't want to sell it to us and is looking for an excuse!"
Xu Ping's face was gloomy, and he lost his previous gentleness. He lowered his voice and said, "What's the point of saying this? There's no food at home, and you can't go out. Are you going to starve to death?"
"Why are you yelling at me? Who told you not to buy some food at home?"
"I want to buy rice, flour, grain and oil. Can you cook? You said instant noodles are unhealthy and you don't allow us to eat them. Now you blame me. If you were a little more womanly and could cook, would we be starving now?"
"Xu Ping, what do you mean? What did you say before we got married? You said my hands weren't meant for cooking and my face shouldn't be exposed to fumes. You regret it now, right?"
Seeing Liu Nana's rage, Xu Ping softened his attitude and smiled, "That's not what I meant. Nana, I don't want to quarrel with you. None of us expected this situation, don't you think? I don't want you to go hungry again."
Liu Nana still had a stern face. "So what do you say we should do now? She doesn't want to sell us food."
Xu Ping looked at 3204 with a deep gaze, "She doesn't want to, but someone else does."
Liu Nana looked in the direction Xu Ping was looking and understood instantly, "You mean, looking for Wang Meijuan?"
"Yes." Xu Ping smiled gently, "Sister Wang goes to the supermarket several times a day. She buys a lot of things that are on sale. There must be a lot of food at home."
Liu Nana frowned and thought for a while, "But she is such a person."
Before Liu Nana could finish, Xu Ping interrupted her with a smile, "Just give us more money. We are not short of money."
Hearing this, Liu Nana raised her chin proudly and said, "A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
As they talked, they walked towards 3204.
After pressing the doorbell twice, the door of 3204 opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Wang Meijuan.
Wang Meijuan looked at Xu Ping and the other person, looking surprised. "It's Xiao Xu and Xiao Liu. What can I do for you?"
"Sister Wang, you know us two. We rarely cook at home. We don't have much to eat at home now."
Listening to Xu Ping's words, Wang Meijuan frowned in embarrassment, "That's really a troublesome matter, what are you two going to do?"
Without waiting for Xu Ping and Liu Nana to speak, Wang Meijuan continued, "It's raining heavily. The water has already reached the fourth floor. I don't know when it will stop. I don't know how long the food we have at home can last. I'm so worried that I can't sleep."
The smile on Xu Ping's face did not change at all. "Look at what you said, Sister Wang. In our building, no one is short of food, and your family will not be short of food! Everyone knows that you like to buy things the most. Sister, we really have nothing to eat, so please sell us some! You tell us the price, and we will definitely not bargain."
Wang Meijuan pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time before saying, "Since you said so, I can't refuse anymore. I remember buying a box of instant noodles before, but I haven't eaten it yet. How about giving it to you?"
Liu Nana was a little disgusted, "What's so delicious about instant noodles?"
The smile on Wang Meijuan's face disappeared immediately, "Xiao Liu doesn't like it? Then I don't have anything else."
Having said that, Wang Meijuan was about to close the door.
Xu Ping quickly reached out and grabbed the door. "No, no, no! Sister Wang, Nana was just talking nonsense. We are grateful that you are willing to help us. How could we not like you? Just instant noodles! A box, right? I'll give you a hundred yuan. What do you think?"
"One hundred——"
Wang Meijuan didn't say yes or no, she just dragged out the tone.
But Xu Ping was not a fool, so he immediately understood what Wang Meijuan meant.
"We are neighbors, and I can't let Sister Wang suffer any loss. How about this, three hundred yuan, Sister Wang?"
Wang Meijuan didn't hesitate this time and agreed with a bright smile on her face, "Since you said so, Xiao Xu, I can't refuse. Wait, I'll get it for you. But Xiao Xu, the power is out and the signal in our building is not good. You should give me cash!"
"Okay!" Xu Ping agreed with a smile, "I'll go back and get it for you right away."
Xu Ping hurried back home and came out jogging after a while.
Just then, Wang Meijuan opened the door again, and the two of them exchanged money and goods, thus completing the transaction.
After Wang Meijuan got the money, she closed the door immediately.
Xu Ping was holding a box of instant noodles and walking home with Liu Nana.
Liu Nana was still complaining in a low voice, "It's just a box of instant noodles. If you go to the supermarket, it would cost at most 30 yuan, but she wants 300 yuan from us. She must be crazy about money."
Xu Ping turned his head and glanced at the door of 3204. "It's okay. As long as I can buy it, it's fine. I don't know when the rain will stop!"
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of 3201 and opened it and walked in.
Nan Ci watched the door of room 3201 close on the surveillance camera and put down his phone.
Judging from the current situation, both of her neighbors are not easy to deal with.
However, I have never seen the resident of room 3203, and I haven't heard any noise from him. I don't know what kind of person lives there.
Nan Ci didn't dwell on this matter for long. He just went over it in his mind and then put it out of his mind.
It doesn't matter who lives there, as long as they are someone who is not good for her, she will just get rid of them.
Mingcheng Jiayuan had experienced power outages before, so although everyone complained about the lack of electricity in the group, no one actually took it seriously.
They all subconsciously believed that the call would come at dark at most, and then they would go on with their lives as usual.
But until it was completely dark, there was still no sign of a call, and everyone began to panic.
Nowadays, people use large-screen smartphones, which have beautiful appearance and good performance, but they also consume a lot of power.
At the end of the day, even if you use it sparingly, your phone will run out of battery.
Their cell phones were about to run out of battery, there was a violent storm outside, and flooding was everywhere. They were really out of touch with society.
Those whose phones still have battery are frantically tagging the property management company and the building manager Liu Chunhua in the group, asking them for solutions.
As soon as Liu Chunhua opened his mouth, he started with a long speech, which was nothing more than asking everyone to be patient and that the difficulties would eventually pass.
This was somewhat useful yesterday, but it is of no use today.
102 Love and Tenderness: It’s hard to explain in the group and it’s a waste of energy. I’m going to the 22nd floor to find the building manager. Who of you will go with me?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone responded immediately and started to respond in a chain reaction.
