The two went out and headed straight for the bus stop at the village entrance. They saw many people along the way, guessing that they were rushing to the city to stock up on goods after hearing the news.
There were significantly more people at the bus stop today than usual. Upon closer inspection, most of them appeared to be villagers with some savings.
Jiang Yu followed behind the man, greeting everyone from time to time.
"Brother Ying, is what Uncle He'an said over the loudspeaker true or false? Our village is so small, we're neither rich nor starving, how could there be a blizzard? I think it's just some kind of publicity stunt spreading from somewhere, trying to fool the people."
While waiting for the bus, Wang Ergou rode up on his beat-up motorcycle. Seeing that there was actually a story behind it, he started to have wicked ideas.
Since Shen Ying believes it, then it's probably true. The villagers who don't believe it probably think the same way he does, and don't take it seriously at all.
He might as well take this opportunity to go to the city and buy some goods. If he really runs out of food, he can sell them at a high price and make a profit.
Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to ask Shen Ying what he thinks.
Hearing Wang Ergou speak, everyone turned to look. Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, they all made way for him.
After considering the uncertainty, Shen shook his head in full view of everyone.
"I don't know, I've never heard of it before. But since the village chief said so, there's probably something going on. It's better to be prepared than not."
His words made sense, and Zhang Ergou nodded, offering a few more compliments before riding his bicycle towards the city.
The villagers who came out to stock up on goods weren't fools; they overheard the conversation between the two, and it was indeed true.
Seeing the man deep in thought, Jiang Yu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up:
"Are they speculating on the credibility of this story? Or are they wondering what will happen to the unprepared villagers if a blizzard really does arrive?"
What appeared to be casual conversation was actually a series of questions raised by Shen Ying. After all, he was a soldier, with a duty to serve the people. If things truly spiraled out of control, he would need to take some appropriate measures.
It's a pity we can't confirm it now, otherwise the consequences would be something he couldn't bear.
"Um."
His voice was deep and powerful, as if every extra word he uttered would change the entire tone. Jiang Yu pursed her lips and sighed softly. She shouldn't have asked.
"I'm wondering, if this is true, why is it only being said now? Something this big should have been reported by the weather station two or three days in advance. Even if the city simply forgot to notify the towns and villages due to negligence, the military would have given them a heads-up."
And Sister Xue, we'll also try to find a way to inform you.
Tomorrow is the day we go to the city to meet the performing arts troupe for our performance in the provincial capital. At this crucial moment, we'll be notified in advance of any minor disturbances. And if there's a real emergency, we'll have to postpone the event; safety is the most important thing.
Jiang Yu, who was talking to herself, suddenly heard the man's question, and her previous displeasure vanished instantly. She couldn't help but nod, feeling that it made a lot of sense.
"Could something more serious have happened in the city? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."
She was speculating about something extremely serious, her mind replaying the plot of the book, desperately trying to come up with something.
"Stop thinking about it, get in the car first."
A bus approached from a distance. Shen Ying, noticing the woman still deep in thought, couldn't help but offer a reminder.
The ticket seller smiled slightly when she saw the familiar face. There were quite a few passengers on this bus, but instead of coming over to chat as usual, she simply greeted Jiang Yu.
Since Shenjiazhuang wasn't the starting point, there were already quite a few passengers on the bus before they boarded. Many of them were chatting, and the topic was almost entirely the blizzard.
After getting off the bus, Shen Ying went to school, while Jiang Yu went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Because I hadn't been there for a while, the supply and marketing cooperative had expanded its area, probably because they had cleared out warehouse space to store goods.
Zhang Yanfang watched the people coming and going as always, with an indifferent expression.
After carefully selecting and choosing a lot of things, Jiang Yu paid the bill and bought some fruit before leaving. Just as she was about to turn back, a figure blocked her way.
Jiang Yu looked up and saw that the person who came in looked angry, but she didn't take it seriously.
"Get out of the way."
The things in her hands were heavy, and she didn't have time to deal with the other party.
"You woman, you're so vicious. Not only did you ruin Lu Zhiqing's future, but you also tarnished his record, making it hard for him to find a job in the future."
Bai Na was furious when she saw that the things Jiang Yu bought were all expensive. Because of Lu Yi's matter, she kept bothering her family every day, and she couldn't sleep well. Her face looked increasingly haggard.
In contrast, Jiang Yu's quality of life has clearly improved. Given that she spent the most time with Lu Yi during those years, how could she not be jealous?
Jiang Yu had thought Bai Na would have toned things down after what she'd been through, but instead, she seemed even more aggressive. There was no direct hatred between them, and Jiang Yu hadn't intended to make things too ugly.
"Bai Na, now that you're back in the city with a powerful background and a bright future, you're still thinking about rotten people. I really feel sorry for you."
Jiang Yu was straightforward, not giving her a chance to put others down. But then again, Lu Yi really does have some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise, why would anyone be so devoted to him?
"Yes, in your eyes, he's just a man who's easy to please when you want him and easy to discard when you don't. I thought you could still consider our past relationship, but I never expected you to be so ruthless as to do anything."
No wonder your husband stayed in the military for so long, and wouldn't even apply for a family housing program. I don't know what the point of your life was.”
In Jiang Yu's view, Bai Na was clearly enraged and lacked any semblance of normal communication skills. She calmly looked at her and coldly said:
"Since Miss Bai likes it so much, why not keep it for herself and enjoy it, so that he won't go out and ruin it for others."
After saying that, Jiang Yu was about to leave. Instead of wasting time with her here, she could go to the nut shop next door and buy some dried fruit.
“Jiang Yu, your sister Jiang Meier has been missing ever since she ran away from the village. A few days ago, someone saw her dressed as a beggar, loitering near the orphanage. Don’t you want to know what her purpose is? Or aren’t you worried about your child at all?”
Bai Na's reminder sent a chill down the woman's spine and made her scalp tingle. She suddenly remembered the beggar she and her daughter had encountered on the street a few days ago, and Bai Na's series of unusual behaviors. That madwoman, who knows what she might do?
Thanks.
Suppressing her discomfort, Jiang Yu forced out two words through gritted teeth.
Having achieved the desired effect, Bai Na walked home in a comfortable mood. She had no intention of helping Jiang Yu. Doing so was simply to keep the two sisters fighting, which was also a way of getting revenge for herself.
