Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 87 - : Then die

Chapter 87: Then die

Xu Jiaoqin hadn’t buried everything; she also kept some to take back with her.

A few cans of luncheon meat.

After all, if they visited the supermarket and brought nothing back, it might arouse suspicion.

Xu Jiaoqin planned to bring back the luncheon meat cans to add a meal for everyone.

Upon learning there were cans to eat, everyone was hurrying back all the way. They wanted to get back early to eat the meat, the fragrant meat.

Bai Yuanyuan cut the luncheon meat into thin slices and pan-fried them. That smell, even before the frying was done, attracted a crowd.

...

Liu Piaoxu was even more so, drooling as she watched the meat cook.

She had been so happy here that she had forgotten she had a mother.

The longer she stayed here, the more she struggled to remember Wang Huifang. When she was with Wang Huifang, she would be scolded and go hungry.

Gu Honghua was always looking for advantages, and Wang Huifang let her have them every time.

There were a few instances when Gu Honghua purposefully visited during their mealtime, just when Liu Piaoxu was eating, and she would pick faults, saying that, as a girl, she didn’t need to eat so much; it was a waste to let her eat.

Then she would start scolding her.

Her mother, Wang Huifang, acted as if she’d been hexed by Gu Honghua, and even joined in the scolding.

In those moments, Liu Piaoxu longed dearly for her elder sister.

Her sister would definitely not scold her; her sister couldn’t bear to scold her.

Gu Honghua came to her house every day to mooch food and still scolded them. Her mother was the same. Normally, she called her her precious baby, but after chatting with Gu Honghua for a bit, her daughter became an ingrate.

Hmph.

She didn’t want a mother anymore.

Having her sister was good enough.

But they soon ran into Wang Huifang.

After Cheetah Team returned from hunting, they joined the rest of the people to build the base.

It was also then that Liu Wutong and Liu Piaoxu encountered Wang Huifang, who had fainted from hunger.

Originally, they hadn’t noticed Wang Huifang, but the Supervisor started to hit and scold the fainting Wang Huifang, causing a major commotion.

Gu Honghua happened to be calling out to her “big sister,” “Huifang, big sister.”

That’s when they took notice.

Although Liu Wutong deeply disliked her mother’s behavior, that was still her mother. To see her own mother faint and be beaten was more than she could stand by and watch.

Besides, Wang Huifang genuinely loved the two sisters, even though she made mistakes later, and Liu Wutong couldn’t forget the kindness Huifang had shown them before.

Liu Wutong sighed, mentioned something to Xu Jiaoqin, then grabbed her sister Liu Piaoxu’s hand and went over.

The Supervisor was furious, slapping the lying Wang Huifang on the ground three times.

But Wang Huifang had genuinely fainted, not pretending as the Supervisor thought, and moreover, it was a severe faint; thus, she showed no reaction to the three slaps.

This made the Supervisor even angrier, believing that Wang Huifang would rather be hit than work, trying to be lazy.

He regretted not having picked up a stick.

Gu Honghua was at the side “advising” the Supervisor.

“My sister definitely didn’t do it on purpose, she’s not the kind of person who fakes fainting to be lazy, surely not like the last time when it was all an act,” Gu Honghua seemed to be persuading, but in effect, she was only fuelling the Supervisor’s rage.

Last time?

Last time, the Supervisor had slapped her once, and Wang Huifang woke up.

Her mentioning the last time made the Supervisor even more convinced that Wang Huifang was pretending to faint.

Just as the Supervisor’s hand was about to come down again, Liu Wutong rushed forward two steps, coming up beside the Supervisor and shoved a couple of candies into his hand.

“Sorry, this is my mom. I need to talk to her about something, please don’t be angry.”

The Supervisor, who had initially wanted to continue with the reprimand, suddenly saw his hands full of candies and his anger vanished on the spot.

“My mom won’t be working today, and she won’t need that meal either. Sorry for the trouble, please be understanding,” Liu Wutong said while handing him another handful of candy.

“Alright then.” The Supervisor was actually angry because Wang Huifang kept eating so much every day but was unwilling to work.

But since Wang Huifang was no longer eating, it didn’t matter if she was lazy or not.

Moreover…

There was so much candy.

The Supervisor, looking at the candy in his hand, lost all his frustration.

He still had to check if anyone else dared to be lazy.

The Supervisor left without any objections, but Gu Honghua had something to say.

“No way!” Gu Honghua’s voice was sharp, piercing, and loud, causing great distress to those nearby, including the Supervisor and Liu Wutong.

The Supervisor frowned, feeling averse to Gu Honghua for the first time, despite her usually flattering behavior.

Liu Wutong…

Liu Wutong frowned as well and then rubbed Liu Piaoxu’s ears.

Her little sister was young and couldn’t stand the shrieking.

“It’s unacceptable. How can Wang Huifang not get her meal!” Without Wang Huifang’s meal, what would her son eat? No way, just no way! Absolutely unacceptable.

Gu Honghua reacted strongly.

Her son had been relying on the meals provided by Wang Huifang for the past few days.

If Wang Huifang didn’t get her meal, what, would her son have to survive on the north wind?

It was only after her outburst that Gu Honghua noticed the expressions on the faces of Liu Wutong and the Supervisor.

“I… What I mean is, although the eldest sister was lazy today, she… still did some work. How can she not get her meal. At least… at least two-thirds of it,” Gu Honghua insisted, because even if Wang Huifang didn’t eat, her son couldn’t go hungry.

“That’s not my problem. You just said she didn’t want it,” said the Supervisor, who had already put the candy into his bag and promptly made his exit after finishing his words to Liu Wutong.

“You… hey!” Gu Honghua tried to call the Supervisor back. If Wang Huifang wasn’t going to get her meal, she could help out. But they couldn’t go without.

However, the Supervisor left too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

“What are you doing? How can you be so wasteful?! That’s your mother’s hard-earned money, how can you just give it up?” After the Supervisor had disappeared, Gu Honghua turned her anger toward Liu Wutong.

“Am I wasting your family’s money? What’s it to you!” Liu Wutong had no courtesy whatsoever when facing Gu Honghua.

Her mother liked Gu Honghua, always calling her Sister Gu, but Liu Wutong only felt endless disgust.

“You… How is it none of my business? That’s my precious son’s meal. It’s easy for you to say, Liu Wutong, just refusing with a single sentence, but what about my son? What is he going to eat today?”

“If my mom wakes up, she will definitely be angered to death by you!” Gu Honghua glared at her, eyes reddening.

It was all Liu Wutong’s fault, and now her son would have to go hungry.

“If she can be angered to death that easily, then let her die.” Liu Wutong was on a no-holds-barred offensive. Sometimes, without family bonds, she felt invincible.

“You… you really are an ungrateful wretch, just like your mother said. Poor Sister Gu, she suffered so much to raise two children, and now that you’ve grown wings, you abandon my poor Huifang sister, an ungrateful wretch indeed… Not coming back for more than ten days is one thing, but upon your return, you deprive Huifang sister of her meal, how cruel you are…” Gu Honghua, while speaking, started to roll on the ground, accusing Liu Wutong.

Liu Wutong watched expressionlessly, with Liu Piaoxu holding her sister’s hand, mouth filled with a lollipop, also watching with great interest.

“My sister has truly tough luck, to have raised such ungrateful wretches…”

Some people wanted to see the commotion.

But since the Supervisor had just beaten someone up, they dared not openly gather to watch the drama, in case the Supervisor caught them and accused them of slacking off as well.

They could only prick up their ears, trying to catch the gossip.

Working every day can get pretty boring, after all.
