"Damn it, how dare they openly smear us?"
After being thoroughly drenched in a bucket of swill, Xu Yongqing and his two companions wiped the rotten potato skins off their faces and then pointed at Ou Tai and his wife, cursing them loudly.
Xu Yongqing and Xu Zhen, in particular, were always bullies, so they couldn't stand being bullied by others.
Especially since they have a large family, they don't take the other party seriously at all.
As the argument escalated, they attacked the Ou Tai couple first.
Ou Tai is a boxing coach, so why would he be afraid of the three pale, thin people who look like they're sick?
He shielded his wife behind him and then smashed the bucket of swill he was holding directly at Xu Yongqing and his son.
The two, who were as thin as bamboo poles, slipped and fell to the ground.
Perhaps the family doesn't do good deeds regularly and has offended their neighbors, yet none of the neighbors who gathered around spoke up for them.
Some people even covered their mouths and secretly laughed as they watched them suffer.
Maruko, who was watching the drama unfold from inside the backpack on Xu Lai's chest, seemed to think that this wasn't enough.
Upon seeing the two people who had been thrown to the ground, it even poked its round head out of its backpack.
A look of "Let's fight! Let's fight!" flashed across that seemingly harmless face.
Fortunately, the muscular man in front of Wanzi did not disappoint her. He took a few steps forward, kicked the two men on the ground a few times with his big feet, and finally stepped on Xu Yongqing's chest, angrily threatening, "If I find out again that your family is dumping dirty water out of the window, I will beat you so badly that you will spit out your shit!"
As expected, Xu Yongqing and his two companions responded to gentle persuasion but not force, and immediately apologized to the man in front of them: "We will never do it again, we will never dump dirty water indiscriminately again!"
"You guys know what's good for you, honey, let's go!"
Ou Tai turned around, took his wife Zhou Lin's hand, and went straight upstairs.
The neighbors who had been watching, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, all went home with regretful expressions.
Xu Lai was turning around to go downstairs to walk the meatballs when Xu Qiong, who was walking out of the door, saw her.
Seeing her cousin, who was only a year younger than her but looked more than ten years younger in just a few months, she was instantly filled with jealousy.
"What are you looking at? Your own uncle and cousin are being bullied, and you don't even know to come and help. You have no manners at all!"
Xu Lai looked at the face in front of her, which was contorted with anger, and retorted calmly, "If you're so well-mannered, why didn't you help? You even hid behind me!"
Having lived through two lifetimes, it's impossible for me to suffer a loss.
Even verbal grievances are unacceptable!
This was the first time she had seen Xu Yongqing and his sister up close since they returned from the Samsung gang.
It seems that the siblings had a tough time in that Samsung gang.
The brother and sister, who were once fair-skinned and tender before joining the Samsung gang, now look pale and thin.
Upon closer inspection, their faces were covered in bumps, and cauliflower-like bumps were even visible on their necks.
"Oh dear, these two are not clean!"
Xu Lai thought they must have contracted some kind of disease, and a chill ran down her spine. She glanced at the three of them as if they were two virus carriers, and then quickly went downstairs.
Xu Qiong saw her cousin give her a disdainful look and then leave, and she wished she could go up to her and gouge out the bitch's eyes.
"Hmph, so what if you're high and mighty? One day you'll be even worse than me!"
After cursing, Xu Qiong ignored her father and brother, who were still lying on the ground unable to get up, and went straight back to her room and lay down on the bed.
This morning, the mentally ill person upstairs started causing trouble, and she didn't get a good night's sleep.
After Xu Lai went downstairs, there were already some tired-looking people walking in different directions on the side of the building.
"Looks like the people who work have gone home!"
Xu Lai reached out and patted Wanzi, who was peeking out of the backpack in her arms, looking around curiously. She said softly, "I'll find a secluded place and then let you out to roam around!"
Xu Lai was about to walk across the street to an open space when the conversation of two middle-aged men walking towards her caught her attention.
"Bro, that slut lives in apartment 502 of building 1!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the building where Xu Lai lived.
"Alright, alright, as long as this woman is good in bed, I'll make sure you get your share of the benefits!"
Unit 1, apartment 502—isn't that Xu Yongqing's house?
Could it be that Xu Qiong is running a business at home, based on the words of these two greasy middle-aged men?
After listening to what the two middle-aged men said, Xu Lai couldn't help but mentally criticize Xu Qiong.
No wonder the brother and sister haven't gone to work and are still doing well since they came back from the Samsung gang. So that's why!
But aren't these two greasy men afraid of catching a sexually transmitted disease from her nice cousin?
Xu Lai glanced disdainfully at the two sleazy men who were eagerly entering the apartment building, then quickly left with Wanzi.
After more than a year of Xu Lai's patient feeding, Wanzi looks completely different from when Xu Lai first found it in Wangtai Mountain.
At this point, the dumpling was more than ten times the size it had been when it was first discovered.
Because he drinks milk powder, eats meat puree and various vegetables every day, he is now chubby.
With its fluffy brown fur, it looks especially cute.
Xu Lai led Wanzi to an open space where no one had been, then squatted down, took it out of her backpack, and placed it on the ground.
"Alright, no one's coming by now, you can run around like crazy!"
Actually, if the goal was simply to let Maruko run, Xu Lai could have brought it into the space.
Actually, Xu Lai brought it outside to exercise mainly to help the meatball gradually adapt to the high temperature environment outside.
Before natural disasters occur, brown bears typically inhabit environments ranging from the cold Arctic tundra to the warm subarctic coniferous forests, from mountains to plains, and even near human settlements.
It is suitable for temperatures ranging from approximately -30 degrees Celsius to around 30 degrees Celsius.
Even in the early morning hours when the temperature is at its lowest, it still reaches over 40 degrees Celsius.
The highest temperature during the day is currently 55 degrees Celsius.
In another month, which will be the second month after the extreme heat disaster, the temperature will exceed 60 degrees Celsius.
What worries Xu Lai the most is that she doesn't know how long this high temperature will last.
Whether it would be a year and a half, or three to five years, Xu Lai had no idea.
If you want to live in this environment long-term, you must first adapt to it.
