Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 134: Xiao Qiu and Ah Di

Lin Muxue was confined, but she refused to just sit and wait for doom.

She absolutely, absolutely would not allow Lin Nianbei to be with that Old Green Tea, Ah Xiang.

It was bad enough that Old Green Tea was ugly, her mind was full of schemes too. What would she do if Uncle really ended up with Old Green Tea?

Lin Muxue figured out a way to escape.

Although Lin Nianbei had declared her confinement and assigned several Superpower Users to guard her,

these Superpower Users hadn’t fully switched sides yet, after all, Lin Muxue used to be truly favored.

Lin Nianbei may have said he was confining her, but those Superpower Users didn’t take it all that seriously.

He doted on Lin Muxue so much, they didn’t believe Lin Nianbei would really confine her for two months.

It was merely symbolic confinement.

So when they were watching her, they weren’t too strict.

When Lin Muxue wanted to leave, they just half-heartedly stopped her.

By the third time, they turned a blind eye.

Lin Muxue escaped with ease.

After escaping, Lin Muxue hated Ah Xiang so much she could itch.

The matter with Su Yinhe had become secondary to her.

She wanted to kill that wretched Old Green Tea, Ah Xiang, first.

Ah Xiang was now staying at Lin Nianbei’s place, and this time Lin Muxue didn’t dare to go directly to Lin Nianbei’s home like she used to without thinking.

She was afraid of being seen by Lin Nianbei, as she was currently under confinement.

If Lin Nianbei saw her, he would definitely get even angrier, and then they would watch her even more closely, and she wouldn’t be able to get out.

If she couldn’t kill Ah Xiang and couldn’t escape, she would truly vomit blood in frustration.

Knowing the enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. Lin Muxue decided to first find out all she could about Ah Xiang.

Ah Xiang couldn’t have just appeared out of nowhere. She would clarify everything about Ah Xiang first, see if she could use her past to kill her.

Ah Xiang had best not have any dirt that Lin Muxue could exploit, for if she did, and Lin Muxue didn’t kill her, then she wasn’t Lin Muxue.

It was the first time Lin Muxue felt so stifled, and the last time she felt this suffocated was because of Su Yinhe.

But the frustration Su Yinhe caused her was something she could come to terms with.

The frustration Ah Xiang caused her only fueled her desire to kill Ah Xiang.

In order to investigate Ah Xiang, Lin Muxue spared no expense.

She transported all sorts of supplies out.

A third of her resources were moved.

At a high cost, she investigated Ah Xiang thoroughly.

Not only did she find out that Ah Xiang had been with several men, but she also found Ah Xiang’s adopted daughter and the man who had coaxed her to leave.

Xiao Qiu was Ah Xiang’s adopted daughter, and she had done some work before, but it was very difficult for her work to sustain her; she would have starved to death if not for Ah Xiang’s support.

Latterly, for the sake of her own love, she had taken all Ah Xiang’s resources and ran off with her lover.

However, she quickly realized that without anything but love, she couldn’t survive.

She couldn’t earn food and drink, and her love—her Ah Di, with his pockmarked face… oh no, Ah Di—couldn’t earn it either.

Ah Di was the kind of man who lived off women; had he been able to earn his own living, he wouldn’t have lured Xiao Qiu away.

Xiao Qiu and Ah Di, carrying Ah Xiang’s supplies, ran off with a carefree attitude at first.

Without having to do any labor, with so many resources, they lived carefree for a good while until the supplies rapidly depleted.

Then they came to realize the gravity of the situation.

The two lazy dogs, they simply couldn’t sustain themselves.

Ah Di had thick skin; he used to rely on deceiving young girls to eat to his fill, but the girls in the apocalypse weren’t so easy to fool.

The capable girls of the apocalypse despised him—Ah Di had a face full of pockmarks and was ugly; only Xiao Qiu, his love-struck girlfriend, could see beauty in his defects.

Those without abilities scorned him even more, craving strong Superpower Users rather than someone like Ah Di who mooched off women.

Ah Di had only two tactics: to seduce young girls and to exchange his body for shelter with resource-abundant matrons.

He had managed to scrape by with such tactics.

Then he met Xiao Qiu, a girl infatuated with love, and he dedicated himself to wooing her.

Xiao Qiu was younger and more gullible than those matrons, not as miserly and calculating as they were.

He didn’t have to lift a finger, and Xiao Qiu was willing to pinch pennies to support him.

If only her guardian, Ah Xiang, wasn’t so shrewd and hadn’t steadfastly opposed their relationship.

Ah Xiang might have been well off, able to support three people with surplus to spare, but her shrewdness kept her in opposition to their love.

Reluctantly, Ah Di almost let go, because Ah Xiang was fiercely opposed, even wanting to lock up Xiao Qiu and find someone to break Ah Di’s “third leg.”

He certainly didn’t want to be crippled. That was his breadwinning tool.

Left with no choice, Ah Di brainwashed Xiao Qiu, and together they stole Ah Xiang’s surplus food.

And then they ran away.

But Ah Di truly found it hard to let go of his mother-in-law, Ah Xiang; compared to Xiao Qiu, he would rather be with her.

However, the mother-in-law was too cunning.

Easier to deceive than Xiao Qiu.

Away from Ah Xiang, their lives were destitute, lacking in both food and drink.

They struggled to survive, and Ah Di contemplated whether to find another matron.

It was then that they heard someone was inquiring about Ah Xiang.

They assumed Ah Xiang had cozied up to yet another wealthy man.

So they scurried over.

They returned with the messenger sent by Lin Muxue.

Once Lin Muxue learned of their identities and saw them clutch their bellies, she smirked and ordered someone to bring them plenty of food.

After Xiao Qiu and Ah Di devoured the food voraciously, they spilled the beans about Ah Xiang as easily as spilling beans.

Perceiving Lin Muxue’s disdain for Ah Xiang, the two scoundrels didn’t think twice; they exaggerated and defamed Ah Xiang in line with Lin Muxue’s sentiments.

“Was Ah Xiang really that slutty before, having been with several men?” Lin Muxue, intrigued by their accusations, asked.

“That’s right. She’s nothing but trash, not picky about anything for a bit of food. There was this man with a belly so big, he looked eight months pregnant, and she still praised him as a ‘Prime Minister’…” Xiao Qiu was especially eager in her betrayal.

“Really?” Lin Muxue laughed behind her hand.

“Why would we lie to you? It’s all true. And there was this bald man, whom she hailed as supremely intelligent, fawning over him like a dog…”

Xiao Qiu initially felt a twinge of guilt, knowing that Ah Xiang could have lived differently on her own. Ah Xiang had maintained their livelihood for her sake.

But once Lin Muxue seemed delighted, rewarding them with ten large steamed buns, any hint of Xiao Qiu’s guilt evaporated.

No matter how hard Ah Xiang had worked in the past, could she have earned them steamed buns?

Look at these buns, how big and fluffy they were, white as snow, emanating the fragrance of wheat.

For these ten large buns, she believed Ah Xiang would forgive her.

After all, Ah Xiang had once spread her thighs for some cakes, letting men look however they pleased.

The more Xiao Qiu spoke, the more enthusiastic she became. In her words, Ah Xiang was an indecent, desperately man-hungry woman.

She was lowly, she was shameless.

Lin Muxue listened with satisfaction.

Indeed, just as she expected, Old Green Tea was unclean.

Now she had Old Green Tea at her mercy. She would destroy Old Green Tea.

As the most important witnesses, Lin Muxue took good care of Xiao Qiu and Ah Di.

After all, these two were content with just two buns, it didn’t cost much to keep them.
