Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 365: Emotional Changes in the Apocalypse

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had made dinner, and after eating, they sent Ma Jiahong and Shen Qiu the sweet potato cake previously distributed by the base, along with a cup of hot water. These were the most common food and drink at the base now.

Ma Jiahong looked at these, her face pleading as she turned to Gu Pan, "Sister, I can eat anything, but my man is injured. You have quails, could you lend me two quail eggs? Once the storm passes, I’ll definitely return them to you."

Gu Pan responded, "The quails are for breeding. Even the base’s breeding farm can’t bear to eat them, do you think I can?"

Ma Jiahong felt frustrated internally, they were raising them, how could they not eat any? But she knew these were indeed valuable, and she couldn’t force it if they refused. "That’s true, that’s true. Speaking of which, sister, didn’t they say the base’s breeding farm doesn’t distribute quails for everyone to raise? How can you have them?"

"Our eggs were obtained by ourselves, they weren’t given by the base," Gu Pan answered.

Although Ma Jiahong didn’t believe it, she couldn’t probe further, "You guys are really amazing."

Actually, she had heard before that this man was the Base Commander’s son, and in her heart, she still thought the Base Commander played favorites.

Without saying more, Gu Pan delivered the items, locked the door, and went back to the villa with Lu Ruisheng.

Ma Jiahong returned to the bedside where Shen Qiu had already woken up. Thanks to the two doses of glucose Lu Ruisheng had given him earlier, he was now in decent condition.

He excitedly said to Ma Jiahong, "We’re really lucky to have been saved."

"Ah, it’s just saving our lives, but they have so many resources and they’re not giving us any. They are really too selfish," Ma Jiahong, speaking freely with her husband, voiced her discontent.

In her heart, she believed most of the supplies of Gu Pan’s family came through the Base Commander’s influence, which she thought should have belonged to the base, so she felt justified in taking some for herself.

Shen Qiu frowned and disagreed, "Why are you so ungrateful? They saved our lives; isn’t that enough? Their supplies are a result of their own capabilities, what does that have to do with us? They were able to provide food and drink even with low supplies. Such a favor is like having second parents. How can you speak ill of them?"

Ma Jiahong looked unswayed as she faced Shen Qiu, "They are relatives of the Base Commander; who knows how much they got through backdoors?"

Shen Qiu sighed, "No matter what, they saved us. People should look on the bright side. Why are your thoughts so narrow?"

"Why do you always speak well of others? Are you really my husband? Moreover, I’m doing this for your sake. I want better supplies not just for you but to replenish your nutrition. I admit I’m selfish, but this damned apocalypse has turned our lives into chaos. What can I do?" Ma Jiahong said all this, unable to help but complain.

"Regardless, you shouldn’t be ungrateful, right? We’ve been married for decades, and I’ve always urged you to be kind and to be good with people, why don’t you listen at all?" Shen Qiu looked helplessly at Ma Jiahong, his words filled with reproach.

Ma Jiahong, overwhelmed by her grievances, burst out, "You always play the good guy, and because of you, I was forcibly separated from our son. You said your father passed away early, and you wanted our son to accompany your mother so she wouldn’t be lonely. Now she’s not lonely, but what about me? We only go back to our hometown once a month to see our child. Other families leave their children at home because they can’t do otherwise, letting the grandparents take care of them, but I’m not like that. I’m not busy at work; I could have taken care of our child myself. It was your kindness that drove our son and me apart. The apocalypse is here, and I don’t even know if he’s alive or dead. What right do you have to preach kindness to me?"

"My mother was a teacher; she’s capable of educating a child well. It’s not like the child never stayed with you when he was little. The food you cooked, he never liked, and you couldn’t even teach him how to read. That’s why I let him stay with my mom, wasn’t it?"

"Shen Qiu, speak with your conscience. You sent our child to your mother’s; wasn’t that out of your own selfishness? No matter how good a child raised by grandparents is, it’s not the same as being with their mother. I was a first-time mother, and I needed to learn gradually. He was a part of me; do you think I wouldn’t care? You sent away my son and labeled me as unable, spreading rumors that I couldn’t educate our child. I only taught him for a few days. What could I do with the child not by my side? I could only chat with others to distract myself. Others show off their competitive children on social media; what about me? I don’t have anything of my own to post, just videos of my son taken by your mother, passed along to me through you. I gave birth to him; why can’t I see him myself?" freёnovelkiss-com

"I admit I was wrong in this matter, but that’s unrelated to what we were just talking about. Aren’t you just mixing things up unnecessarily?"

"Now that you’re out of arguments, you start accusing me of causing trouble? That’s how I am. Even if I’m selfish, didn’t I desperately save you when you fell into that pit earlier? I may be selfish towards others, but have I ever been selfish towards you, or our son?"

"There’s no reasoning with you."

"What’s there to reason about? You’re still hung up on Gu Wanwan."

"Ma Jiahong, how many times have I said this? After we got married, I let go of the past. Why can’t you believe that?"

"You still have her pictures hidden in your study; you think I don’t know?"

"How can you just go through my things?"

"If I don’t, will I be kept in the dark forever? I confess I’m not a good person. I’m not as kind as your first love, who wouldn’t have left you during your father’s cancer battle and when your family was starving. I really don’t know what you saw in her ’kindness’."

"You’re being unreasonable. That’s just a memory in my heart, nothing more. Is a single photo really that important?"

"Yes."

"I told you about my past with her before we got married, and I said she still has a place in my heart. If you minded, we shouldn’t have stayed together. But didn’t you say you didn’t mind?"

"How could I have known that a person who had only held hands with you would be more important than someone who shared a bed with you and had children with you? I was really naive. Actually, I regret it. If I hadn’t been with you, I might not have turned into who I am today. I wasn’t someone who took advantage of others or made unreasonable demands. How did I end up like this?"

"Look at you, blaming others for your own faults again. Whatever you have become, what does that have to do with me? I’ve been with you all these years and I haven’t turned into a selfish person."

"Your lack of selfishness is predicated on my being selfish. In our family, you’re always the good guy, even in front of our child. You’re always the doting father, while I’m the strict mother. When it comes to saying anything critical to our child, you leave it all to me. During the group housing allocation at your workplace, you had me fight for our type, had me be the unreasonable one. Then you complain at work about marrying an irrational woman, earning you sympathy while I get despised. Thinking about it now, I find myself ridiculous."

"Are you done? I’m hurt, and it’s the apocalypse. We’re supposed to rely on each other. Can’t you let go of these trivial things?"
