Chapter 63 -63 The Old Lady Takes a Beating
Hearing her say that, Xia Chaoyang instantly got the signal.
“I say, you old hag, what’s it to you, is it your place to stick your nose into other people’s business?
If you’re so full you’ve got nothing better to do, then bugger off and stop spewing shit.”
The old lady was no easy target and immediately retorted upon hearing Xia Chaoyang speak to her in such a manner.
“You got a problem with your brain or what? I was speaking up for you, no wonder she dumped you, you’re nothing but a shit-stirrer!”
“The matters between my wife and me don’t require your help, I can see you’re just trying to take advantage while you can.”
“You two, a couple? Does she even acknowledge you? Stop deluding yourself.”
Xia Chaoyang wasn’t stupid; getting cozy with Jhiang Yuan was the way to get in, and getting in was the way to the supplies.
He turned his head, looking at her with a face full of ingratiation, “Yuanyuan, you see I even scolded her for you, does that mean you forgive me?”
Jhiang Xingzhi watched from the side, full of anxiety, fearing his foolish daughter would be deceived once again.
“Just like that, you want me to forgive you? Wishful thinking.
We’re already divorced, you brought your mistress right into our home, and now you come to disgust me, is this the sincerity of Building 9?”
Jhiang Yuan’s outburst made the people behind her anxious.
They might not have had food, but buying some clothes and daily necessities was good enough.
They had risked their lives to come here; it’d be too much of a pity to leave without taking anything back.
“Don’t be angry, beauty, we didn’t know about his relationship with you beforehand.
We all braved the storm to come here, with sincere intentions, and brought money too, look…”
As they spoke, they even pulled out their wallets.
Hmph, just to buy some time, she would count it for now.
“Since that’s the case, then you all better hurry up and pick something…”
Upon hearing her say this, that old lady instantly became complacent.
“See, what did I tell you, sticking your hot face to someone’s cold backside serves you right!”
“You sure you want to keep yapping here?”
Jhiang Yuan glanced at her coldly, but the old lady was unabashed.
“What can you do about it, I just said…”
She even crossed her arms, full of provocation; it seemed a good business transaction was out of the question now.
Jhiang Yuan laughed, then turned and rummaged in a bag behind her for quite some time.

The old lady grew nervous, thinking she was about to get a water gun.
Instead of a water gun, she produced a piece of candy.
It was the kind of cheap, hard candy wrapped in colorful paper.
In the past, it was used as change in small supermarkets.
But now, it was a precious commodity.
Jhiang Yuan held the candy up high and shouted out to the people outside.
“This old lady made me angry, whoever hits her for me gets a piece of candy.
The harder you hit, the more blows you land, the more I’ll give…”
“You must be dreaming or something…
Ah…”
The old lady was preparing to berate someone when she suddenly received a slap in the face from none other than Xia Chaoyang beside her.
“Yuanyuan, I hit her, give me the candy!”
Jhiang Yuan shook her head indifferently; she didn’t want to give him anything, but who could complain when he’d started off so well?
“Here you go…”
Along the protective rail, Jhiang Yuan threw a piece of candy outside, which Xia Chaoyang caught excitedly.
“I’m gonna fight you…”
Seeing things turn sour, the old lady immediately resorted to creating a ruckus and throwing a tantrum, attempting to preemptively gain the upper hand.
Xia Chaoyang wasn’t one to indulge her; he went straight into a scuffle with her.
The bystanders, seeing that candy was indeed given, also kicked the old lady quite properly.
Jhiang Yuan, quick to respond, threw another piece of candy over instantly.
Where there was one, there swiftly came another, in an instant, chaos erupted outside.
To put it precisely, what started as a fight between two people soon escalated into a brawl.
At the very center of the vortex, Xia Chaoyang was inevitably affected.
“Ouch, who hit me, ah…”
Not bad at all, Jhiang Yuan watched with great relish, almost going back to her room to grab a small stool and some sunflower seeds.
The commotion was so loud that it drew quite a crowd, and Song Yi took a look and silently slipped away.
Zhang Kaiyang also joined in; Jhiang Yuan looked at him, shook her head, and he, puzzled, still hurried down.
With a large crowd and utter chaos, it took about five minutes to simmer down.
“Ouch, ouch…”
That old lady lay on the ground, looking as though she was on her deathbed.
Xia Chaoyang was sitting down, face bruised and swollen.
“Beauty, the fight’s over, I was wondering…”
The one speaking was the person who had earlier pulled out money, and Jhiang Yuan was in high spirits.
“I don’t know who hit more or who hit less, just take all of this and go share it with everyone.”
“Sure, sure, thank you very much…”
Meanwhile, Xia Chaoyang watched in sheer frustration as a handful of candies was given away to that person; he was practically fuming.
“Yuanyuan, why don’t I do the splitting?”
The man wasn’t easy to push around either, he glared fiercely at him.
Whoever held the sweets held absolute power, and only a fool would willingly give that up.
“I mean, here you are outside, looking for a mistress, and you have the gall to speak up.
Your wife is so good, beautiful, and gentle, you really have no eye for what’s precious, taking men down a peg with your lack of appreciation.”
He said this partly as a warning to Xia Chaoyang and partly to butter up Jhiang Yuan, hoping to gain some favor and secure his right to distribute the sweets.
Xia Chaoyang, though furious, didn’t dare to confront him head-on, especially since they still had to go back together.
As for entering Jhiang Yuan’s place, he figured that was a no-go for today.
“Beauty, I’d like to buy two packs of diapers, how much are they?”
The woman behind him finally spoke up; she had come out today specifically to buy some things for her child.
Jhiang Yuan looked at her, her face full of longing.
She thought about how in her past life, for Xiao Nuan’s sake, she had also struggled and had to make many compromises.
“Five hundred yuan a pack…”
“Give me two packs…”
“Okay…”
In fact, a thousand yuan a pack wasn’t too expensive, but she couldn’t be too favorable to this mom, so she settled for a bit less.
After all, Xiao Nuan didn’t really use them much, and she had stocked up quite a bit before.
Selling some would free up a good amount of space.
In her storeroom, the house was packed full, with only the most basic walkways left clear.
Some less important items were left outside.
Later on, she planned to make use of every possible patch of arable land.
Trading these unnecessary items for some cash was perfect.
They would also help to extend the use of the space, truly making the most of everything.
The remaining people began to shop around.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t miss a beat; amid this hodgepodge, there was still plenty of useful stuff.
And with the weather turning colder, selling clothes was quite competitive.
It was just unfortunate that she hadn’t encountered much winter clothing.
If business continued to go well, she would have to think of a solution down the line.
Jhiang Xingzhi had been following her the whole day, and after the residents of Building 9 left, they started to walk away.
Xia Chaoyang watched her, attempting a last struggle.
With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Jhiang Yuan spoke up, “Xia Chaoyang, since you want to apologize, how do you plan to deal with Bai Mengmeng and her child?”
