Chapter 71 Tornado. I said yes, you said no
Chu An had a calm expression and indifferent eyes. He held the kitchen knife in one hand and chopped the iron fence rhythmically.
The timid ones trembled and retreated at the sound of iron clashing.
Ouyang's brows were twisted into a rope, and he wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. What else could he say? The little girl in front of him didn't even graduate from high school, but she was braver than all of them.
Chu An was neither anxious nor slow, and only spoke after the fifth time, "No matter how much food we have, it is ours. We are not your father or your mother, and we have no obligation to take care of you."
Some people on the opposite side were staring at the kitchen knife, some were curling their lips, but no one said anything.
Chu An continued, "If you dare to break in today, I will kill you. Killing one will be revenge for myself, and killing two will be a profit."
"You...you dare to kill someone? Yes...it's you. You are the woman from the village in the city." Aunt Liu pointed at Chu An and said angrily.
She had always suspected that her son was killed because he had offended someone. She asked people and found out that her son had not spoken to anyone else on the 11th floor, except for the three hooligans who were looking for the little girl 1111.
His son said that the three hooligans were from the urban village, so this woman must also be from the urban village. No wonder she didn't study well and seduced men.
That must be the case. She might have wanted to seduce her son, and if he refused, she would find those lovers and kill him.
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed true, and the angrier she became.
She only has this one son, whom she raised with great difficulty for 33 years, but he still hasn't given her a grandchild, nor has he made money for her to spend, nor has he provided her with care and support in her old age.
The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she completely ignored the question of whether a normal person would choose to commit a crime for a man who was nothing, and whether the heavy rain and tornado outside would allow people to enter the building.
Chu An didn't know what she was thinking, and he didn't bother to deal with her. If this old lady had any self-awareness, she would just keep quiet. Otherwise, don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless. "Yes, I'm from the village in the city, so what."
"You seduced my son, and you still hold a grudge against my son for not letting your lovers come up, so you kill him."
The people around were stunned, "..."
Manager Ouyang hurriedly explained, "Aunt Liu, Xiao An hasn't even graduated from high school yet, and she doesn't know your son. Besides, your son and his four grown men... this isn't realistic."
"Mrs. Liu, we are here to ask for supplies, not to avenge your son. Don't bring your family's affairs here." A long-faced man in the crowd said unhappily.
"Why can't I say it? She is just not decent. She tried to seduce my son but failed, so she killed him."
Chu An's eyes turned colder, "If you don't want your tongue, I can cut it off for you."
Aunt Liu squeezed back a little, but the people behind her couldn't move back and blocked her.
"Aunt Liu, you can't say things that are untrue. You are spreading rumors." Ouyang really couldn't stand it anymore. Most people in the building knew what her son was like.
"That's right. Are you sick?" The long-faced man pushed her through several people. "We are here to ask for food today. You know, we don't want to hear about your family's mess."
Aunt Liu was pushed and became even more angry. She had heard her son making dirty jokes with the people from 906 and teasing this little girl before. Her son had never said anything about other women before, so this little girl must be indecent, otherwise her son would not have said that.
"You...you don't know anything at all." Aunt Liu said angrily.
"We don't want to know, we just want food." Long-faced man said, "If you can get food, I will help you scold her every day. Don't say she is from the village in the city, even if she is from the garbage village, I will help you scold her."
Chu An didn't like the village in the city before, but she hated the Li family. In addition to the Li family, there are many honest and simple farmers and craftsmen in the village in the city.
They all earn their livings through their own labor and have never crossed the line. Why should they be looked down upon?
She is a bit protective of her own people. She says yes, but others say no.
She slammed the kitchen knife down on the small table, shocking everyone.
She said with a cold look in her eyes, "What qualifications do you have to judge the village in the city? Did the village in the city provoke you? Did the village in the city cheat you? Or did the people in the village in the city force you to take food? Why do you think you are nobler than the people in the village in the city?"
"I…"
"I don't want to hear you talk, you'd better shut up." Chu An pulled out the knife, pointed it at the long face, and moved it in front of Aunt Liu. After confirming that she dared only purse her lips and dared not make any sound, he swept his eyes over everyone.
There were at least seven or eight young and middle-aged people in the crowd.
"And you, you are all adults with hands and feet, why don't you go out to find food. Now that the wind outside is weak, people from other communities have gone out to find food, but you are the only ones who believe everything you hear, can't tell good from bad, and can only bully your own people."
"Some people who went out before died." Someone said weakly.
"Calling you stupid is just giving you face. If you don't go out, you will die. Don't even think about blaming us." Chu An continued, "I have said everything I can say. Finally, I want to remind you that when other communities have almost plundered all the food outside, you won't be able to find it even if you want to go."
"But...but we don't have a boat, how can we transport it back?"
Chu An was almost laughing out of anger, "The government flood prevention platform has rented boats, are you all blind?"
Liu Qin hissed, "Even if we can go out and find someone, we women can't do that."
"Your cowardice is your business. Don't use the word 'we'. I am different from you, and many women are different from you."
Liu Qin's face turned pale and blue in an instant, and she pouted her lips and dared not speak.
Seeing that Chu An had said everything she needed to say, Tang Xiao walked forward and took the kitchen knife from her hand. "I still say the same thing. If you want to come in and fight, I'll give you a chance. Otherwise, get out of here."
Li Rong scraped the iron fence with a razor, making a harsh sound.
Nao Nao had fainted from the pain a long time ago, but her husband was still reluctant to leave, fearing that he would not get any share when the food was really distributed. However, after hearing what Chu An said, he knew that the people inside were determined not to give any, and a fight might really break out.
He hurriedly asked Manager Ouyang to help him carry the person back.
Ouyang was just looking for an excuse to leave when the two of them hit it off and hurriedly carried the person away.
As soon as the two of them left, a few young people behind them also left, and then more people left one after another.
The long-faced man looked at the crowd leaving and spat, "Damn, just wait."
After saying that, he followed the others and left.
In less than five minutes, Liu Qin and Aunt Liu were the only ones left in front of the iron fence.
The two people stood far away, wanting to leave but unwilling to do so. If they didn't leave, they both knew that the situation was hopeless and they could not gain any benefits.
It was all that little girl’s fault. She started hacking people as soon as she came up and scared the men.
Yin Tianlin also came out at this time.
He leaned against the wall, his face was sallow and his steps were unsteady.
Glancing at the two women in front of the fence, he asked in surprise, "Where are the people outside?"
