Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 93 - 81 Self-reliance, Comforting Sister Mei
Chapter 93: Chapter 81 Self-reliance, Comforting Sister Mei
After finishing her words, Song Wen’s face was full of pleading.
If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, she really didn’t want to open her mouth to ask for help, risking being despised.
After all, in times like these, who would have extra food?
Even if anyone did, they wouldn’t save it for themselves but lend it to someone else?
But she really had no choice. If she didn’t eat something soon, she would really die.
Granny Li fell silent, not knowing how to refuse.
Her family was also struggling, though it was just herself and Old Ma.
But she was a diabetic, and retrieving supplies relied entirely on Old Ma.
Now Old Ma was injured; last time when Liang Yuan brought supplies from Liu Erlong, everyone shared them. Since Old Ma was hurt, he got a bit more.
But those foods were meant to nourish Old Ma during his recovery. How could she lend them to Song Wen?
For a moment, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, then she turned to look at Sister Yang Mei.
She knew Yang Mei’s situation better than anyone else.
It was completely controlled by Liang Yuan.
Ultimately, Yang Mei completely relied on Liang Yuan’s support.
Otherwise, Yang Mei might have fared worse than Xiaosong, starving to death long ago or being taken advantage of by other men...
She shook her head, eventually stopped looking at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan said nothing, instead giving Song Wen a weird look, then glancing at Yang Mei.
Yang Mei met his gaze; her pretty face instantly turned red.
Borrow food?
Wasn’t that exactly what she did at the beginning?
In the end, food was borrowed, but she also paid a price herself.
Of course, she was willing to pay.
But now Song Wen came to borrow food again.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit wary.
She glanced slightly at Song Wen’s ample chest, comparing it with her own, feeling pressured.
The other party wasn’t much smaller than her.
But this matter was not hers to decide.
Because the food she ate now was still provided by Liang Yuan.
Helplessly sighing, she looked at Liang Yuan.
"Little brother, you decide."
Song Wen despaired inside when Granny Li didn’t speak.
Upon hearing Yang Mei’s words, her heart suddenly leapt; she realized that the only person she could plead with now was this handsome guy.
She quickly looked at Liang Yuan with a prayerful look, eyes full of pleading.
Liang Yuan sighed and said, "Song Wen, as you said, in times like these, any food is incredibly precious."
"Borrowing food may be borrowing, but what do you have to repay?"
"Nowadays, with floods outside, nonstop heavy rain, it’s difficult even to go out."
"Lending food is basically giving you food, isn’t it?"
Song Wen’s face went pale, lowering her head in shame.
It was true; borrowing food now was no different from begging.
What could she possibly repay with?
Tears filled her eyes, choking with sobs.
Her crying made Sister Yang Mei and Granny Li embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Granny Li couldn’t help but say, "Alright, Song Wen, I’ll go home and see, I might still have some bread, I’ll bring you a piece, don’t mention borrowing, think of it as a gift from me."
Song Wen was both surprised and delighted to hear that, quickly wanting to kneel and thank Granny Li. freёweɓnovel.com
Granny Li hurriedly stopped her: "No, don’t do that, child. Granny’s family is hard up too; your Uncle Ma is still bedridden from his injury. We don’t have more food to spare. You... You must understand."
Song Wen understood that Granny Li asked her not to borrow food again after this.
She nodded tearfully, choking with sobs, "Thank you, thank you, Granny Li. You’ve done more than enough for me. I am truly grateful."
Yang Mei saw this scene, feeling compassionate, turned to look at Liang Yuan with pleading eyes.
Liang Yuan ignored her, opening the door, saying, "Granny Li, Song Wen, I won’t see you off."
He issued an order to leave.
Granny Li glanced at Liang Yuan, sighed inwardly.
Xiaoliang’s heart is truly hard.
But without this hard-heartedness, he probably couldn’t lead their small group well.
Smiling, she said, "I’ll head back first. Xiaosong, can you walk?"
"Yes... I can."
Song Wen stumbled up and walked towards the door.
Yang Mei hurriedly stepped forward to support her, saying, "I’ll walk you out."
Song Wen, eyes red, choked with sobs, "Thank you, Sister Yang Mei."
Sister Yang Mei, recalling her own plight, couldn’t help but tear up, softly saying, "I’m sorry, I can’t help much..."
"No, it’s alright." Song Wen quickly shook her head, already outside.
Granny Li, seeing this, sighed, went back inside and brought out a piece of bread, quickly handing it to Song Wen.
"Xiaosong, take this with you."
Song Wen, choking back sobs, thanked her, almost kneeling.
Granny Li quickly supported her, preventing her from kneeling.
Yang Mei also saw Song Wen off, then turned back to Liang Yuan.
Song Wen clung to the staircase railing, descending with difficulty.
Watching this, Liang Yuan suddenly said, "By the way, I’m collecting mutant fish. If you want food, you can catch fish; fish meat is edible."
"If you don’t want to eat fish, you can exchange fish meat for other food with me."
Song Wen stopped abruptly, turned to look at Liang Yuan, eyes filled with hope.
"Downstairs... is safe?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Don’t worry, the first unit is now safe. All connecting corridors are sealed off; only my floor can access the second unit."
