Song Yi didn’t dampen her enthusiasm and continued speaking.
“Yes, when it gets a bit smaller, we’ll head out.”
“That’s great, let’s study the route and everything else well in a moment.”
“Okay, I’ll go find the two of them, and you can come over directly afterwards.”
“Yes, I’ll go back and get the map too.”
Jhiang Yuan said this and went back with Jhiang Xingzhi.
“Daughter, with so many things at home, why do we need to go out? It’s not necessary.”
“Dad, don’t you know the situation now? We went to Ye Mianmian’s house yesterday, and what happened there scared me.”
Yes, she had told him about the incident downstairs.
However, she omitted some of the unbearable parts.
It wasn’t for any other reason but to make everyone aware of potential dangers.
Having food and drink at home doesn’t mean one can be safe every day.
Human nature is often the most frightening thing.
“Ah, such people are not that many.”
Old Dad still wanted to convince himself, but Jhiang Yuan did not want to cause more problems and simply chose to shatter his illusion.
“Dad, no one should be complacent now.
In ancient times during years of disaster, there were countless cases of exchanging children for food.
Modern people can’t endure great hardship.
If Ye Mianmian hadn’t moved away, who knows whether she would have been the one lying in that room, being violated?”
Ye Mianmian was someone he knew, and this indeed had a more shocking effect than if it were someone unknown.
“Also, they didn’t spare even boys.
If there are more perverts, we cannot just sit back and wait to die.
There are elderly and young in the family, and I’m a woman.
Going out with Song Yi allows us to get supplies, but with others, it’s uncertain whether we can even return.”
She wasn’t saying women were incompetent, but in the situation where everyone was average, the disparity in strength between men and women was something she had to acknowledge.
“Ah, how has the world come to this?”
Jhiang Xingzhi particularly couldn’t understand; everything was fine just two months ago, and this was hard to accept.
“Dad, don’t think too much about it, we can only face reality.
We must prepare for the worst, assuming no one is good.
This time I go out, I have my own objectives. Every time we face danger, these weapons aren’t very handy.
I’ve seen many security points equipped with tasers; if we could get some of those, it would be really convenient.
Don’t tell my mom, but if she’s in a pinch, Xiao Nuan could use it too.”
Jhiang Xingzhi nodded; tasers are indeed good, and they have strong lethality.
“And medications; although we’ve bought quite a bit before, I’m worried that other issues might arise when it gets colder.
It was last night that inspired me. If we happen upon a hospital, it’s best to prepare a set of common surgical tools.
If someone gets injured, at least we won’t have to just watch helplessly.”
“Right, if that’s the case, as more people go out to scavenge, supplies will decrease, and some might get malicious ideas.
Getting injured is also something to consider.”
Now, Old Dad had been successfully persuaded, and Jhiang Yuan was very satisfied with her eloquence.
“Then when you guys go, I’ll come along.”
“Absolutely not, our family is highly coveted in this entire neighborhood. Many people are watching.
If I leave and you do too, what happens if something arises? What will you have mom and Xiao Nuan do?
Don’t forget about that couple on the 20th floor.”
Jhiang Yuan’s reminder had made Jhiang Xingzhi scared as well, since the two people from before hadn’t been polite at all and had come right up to smash the door.
“Alright, my girl, don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything at home. Whatever you do, your dad is here to support you.
But you must take good care of yourself, safety comes first.”
“I know, dad, don’t be so nervous. We’re just discussing it; we haven’t said we’re going out yet,” she said.
Jhiang Yuan patted her dad’s back to ease him, feeling a wave of warmth in her heart.
In this lifetime, she was no longer on her own.
After picking up the items, she went to room 2102 and knocked several times, but surprisingly, no one answered.
The cries of Little One could be heard, though, which was odd. She had been talking with dad for quite a while; how come Song Yi hadn’t returned yet?
Could it be an accident had happened?
Jhiang Yuan felt uneasy and hurried downstairs.

She just opened the double doors of the stairwell when she saw Song Yi coming up from the 20th floor.
Zhang Kaiyang and Ye Mianmian were following behind him, looking alright, thankfully.
“I thought something bad had happened. It’s been so long, but it’s fine as long as nothing is wrong.”
Once they were in Song Yi’s home, Ye Mianmian somewhat embarrassingly started talking.
“Sister Yuan, I just went back to my place.”
“You mean, to the 11th floor?”
“Yeah.”
No wonder Song Yi looked upset. The usually chatty and lively Zhang Kaiyang also seemed hesitant to speak.
“What did you do?”
Jhiang Yuan suspected in her mind, wondering whether this guy might have driven those three people out.
That couldn’t be, that couldn’t be. Ye Mianmian, with her beautiful and kind-hearted nature, certainly wouldn’t do such a thing.
“I, I felt sympathy, so I took several thick clothes and some food to give them, along with some medicine that was leftover at my place,” she said. As she spoke, her voice grew quieter, her head hanging lower.
In these times, doing good deeds had become something people feared to speak of. How ironic.
“Mianmian, I know you have a kind heart. What’s done is done with those items.
But, you also need to be cautious.
Even though they are victims, you can’t be sure what people will do. What if, after they finish eating, they come back asking for more?
Will you give it, or not?
The saying goes, ‘Small favors lead to gratitude, big favors breed enmity.’ You must understand this principle, and besides, in this situation food is a matter of survival.
We were lucky last time to find quite a bit, but who can guarantee that good fortune will continue to favor you?”
“Sister Yuan, I realize my mistake. I won’t be so impulsively compassionate next time.”
Jhiang Yuan was happy to reason with her, a much better prospect than facing Song Yi’s stern expression, which was quite intimidating.
“I’m also to blame today. Not only did I not stop you, but I also added quite a bit more stuff.”
Zhang Kaiyang also bowed his head, feeling ashamed to let Ye Mianmian face criticism alone.
“Alright, what’s done is done. Just be more cautious next time.
We won’t harm anyone, nor should we let others take advantage of us.
Learn from this mistake!”
“Yes, Sister Yuan. We definitely won’t do this again, though those three people are indeed pitiable.”
Jhiang Yuan sighed deeply; there were just too many pitiable people, and they weren’t able to help everyone.
“That can’t be helped. Whether they survive or not is up to fate.
Don’t think I’m heartless, but that’s just the way things are. We all need to be realistic.
Moreover, their home still has some food left by those two men, so getting by for a few days won’t be an issue.
The wind has died down too. If the rain stops later, they will have to learn to fend for themselves. It’s just the way things must be.”
