After doing all that, Gu Yanzhi brought all the things that were outside the door into the room.
It has to be said that Aunt Wu, Zhang Qian's mother, has really good cooking skills. Although the sweet and sour pork ribs were already cold, Gu Yanzhi still smelled a rich aroma when he opened the takeout box.
First, Gu Yanzhi put the sweet and sour pork ribs in the microwave to heat them up. Then, she looked at the other two deliveries. The one from the 16th floor was pickled cucumbers made by Gao Zhi's mother. Gu Yanzhi took a bite and found them to be neither too salty nor too bland, but refreshing and crisp. Gu Yanzhi felt that she could easily finish the whole plate of pickled cucumbers by herself without any rice.
Then came the cookies that Zhuang Nanzhi had baked himself, delivered from the 11th floor. Gu Yanzhi hadn't expected that this seemingly shy boy had such a skill. The cookies came in several shapes—little frogs, little pandas, little rabbits—each one very lifelike, with a rich milky aroma and a delicious taste.
In no time, the sweet and sour pork ribs were ready. Gu Yanzhi had just opened the microwave lid when he heard a sound behind him.
Gu Yanlin came out of the room yawning. "Sis, what delicious food did you make?"
He was also woken up by hunger, and the tempting aroma made it impossible for him to fall back asleep.
"Sweet and sour pork ribs sent by Xixi's family," Gu Yanzhi placed the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs on the dining table. He then took out oyster sauce lettuce, dry-fried potato slices, and three boxes of rice from his spatial storage, along with Gao Zhi's mother's pickled melon. This was their dinner for tonight.
"You're awake too! Perfect timing, come and eat!"
Just as Gu Yanzhi was about to wake Song Zhao up, he heard the bedroom door open. Song Zhao was also woken up by hunger. When she woke up and didn't see Gu Yanzhi, she didn't linger in bed and got up immediately.
The three of them wolfed down the food on the table, devouring it all in one go, leaving nothing behind. Finally, they let out a satisfied burp and settled comfortably in their chairs, becoming completely relaxed.
"Sister, brother-in-law, someone wants to buy our boat!"
Gu Yanlin was playing on his phone when a stranger suddenly added him as a friend. Gu Yanlin glanced at the message and saw that it came from the neighborhood group chat. Without thinking much about it, he clicked "accept".
The first thing this guy said to me was, "Hey bro, are you selling your boat?"
Gu Yanlin replied directly, "Not for sale."
Then this guy started playing the victim: "Brother, please help me out. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I didn't stockpile much food. When it was our turn to go out today, there were no boats left to buy. You have plenty of boats, please sell me one!"
Please help me, brother. You can't bear to see my 90-year-old father, my elderly mother, and my 3-year-old baby go hungry, can you? We can tolerate being a little hungry ourselves, but we can't let them go hungry. Please, brother, how am I supposed to get them food without a boat?

Gu Yanlin felt a little reluctant and was about to reply when he suddenly realized that it would be better to ask his sister and brother-in-law first.
"Block him, he's probably a scammer." Gu Yanzhi was just about to take Gu Yanlin's phone to find out when Liu Sisi sent a message in the group chat for Building 10.
Please be wary of this person; they are a scammer.

I just gave him the boat, and then I saw it on someone else's WeChat Moments.

This boat belongs to my family. I marked it specifically when I went out this afternoon to avoid confusion.
Then Liu Sisi tagged her family's boat in a picture on her WeChat Moments and posted it.
He has already blocked me.

[Holy crap, this person added me too, using the exact same script. I was just about to accept, but it turns out they're a middleman.]

Wow, you added me too +1
【And me...】
After reading the message history in the group, Gu Yanlin silently sent a message: It seems that none of the four businesses in their building have been spared; they have all been targeted by middlemen.
【I'm exposing this person in the neighborhood group chat, hoping that no one in the neighborhood will fall for his scam.】 After sending this message, Liu Sisi forwarded it to the neighborhood group chat, urging everyone to be wary of this suspected middleman who is a fraudster.
