Chapter 73 Arguing Makes It More Fun
"Hey, whose kid are you? How can you be so ill-mannered?"
Yu Miaomiao scoffed lightly.
In fact, she had already recognized the girl; she was the child from the villa across the street from them. If she wasn't mistaken, it should be Ni Menglu, the child who had mocked their little girl.
After exchanging glances with Lu An, Lu An understood immediately.
Since she's chosen to walk right into the line of fire, she can't blame anyone for not being able to control her tongue.
"You're the one with no manners. My dad says you're all country bumpkins who only got to be our neighbors because you got lucky."
Ni Menglu's face turned bright red. She wanted to say something more, but when she met Lu An's cold expression behind Yu Miaomiao, she shrank back.
The women around Ni Menglu wore heavy makeup, with bright red lips and deep, sculpted eye makeup; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them beauties.
She took a few steps forward, and Yu Miaomiao could smell the strong perfume on her.
She pulled Ni Menglu behind her to protect her, her face full of sarcasm and bitterness, her eyes rolling back in her head, and she immediately shoved Yu Miaomiao's shoulder.
However, with her weak appearance, she couldn't budge Yu Miaomiao at all. After pushing her a few times and finding that Yu Miaomiao didn't move an inch, she stomped her feet in anger.
"Who do you think you are? Apologize to Marilyn Monroe, don't you hear me?"
Yu Miaomiao stood there watching her with a half-smile. After she finished cursing, she coldly replied, "I've seen something new today. We're really not family. Birds of a feather flock together. But I only want to curse people today, so I don't want to curse you."
"You, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"
Enraged, the woman shouted, "I am Ni Chongyang's daughter-in-law! Our Ni family has good relations with the top management of the entire base, and we donated half of the base's supplies!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! There are so many specks of dust in the world, how am I supposed to know which one is you? I don't know who Ni Chongyang is, and I have even less idea who you are."
The supplies for this base were all donated by your family. What does that have to do with Yu Miaomiao? They don't live off the supplies from the base.
The reason she argued with these two people was simply to avenge her daughter.
She still holds a grudge about the last time I said her daughter was uneducated.
"You just wait and see."
The woman pulled Ni Menglu away, and Ni Menglu deliberately bumped into Xu Nanwei as they passed by.
Yu Miaomiao happened to be standing behind Xu Nanwei. She tripped Ni Menglu, sending her sprawling face-first into the dirt, and then casually withdrew her foot.
"Oh dear, why aren't you watching where you're going? How careless of you!"
Everyone knows how to reciprocate.
Ni Menglu rolled over and sat on the ground, then burst into tears.
Yu Miaomiao curled her lips and glanced at the two of them. The woman glared at her fiercely, but she couldn't find any evidence that Yu Miaomiao had made a move. She just assumed that Ni Menglu had accidentally fallen.
"Don't embarrass me here. If you want to cry, go home and cry."
Hearing her mother say that, Ni Menglu cried even harder.
Lu An picked up his little girl, waved his fist at the two of them, and gently asked the little girl if she was hurt by the impact.
The attitude was that if their little girl said a word of pain, no one would be leaving this room today.
Sesame Sauce grinned and said, "Did you get my permission to bully my little brother?"
The little girl's eyes were a little red, but she still gently shook her head.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the woman quickly pulled Ni Menglu up and walked out of the store without looking back.
They continued to browse the store, and although the sales staff were annoyed at losing such a big customer, they dared not risk offending the store.
She could see clearly that neither side was someone she could afford to offend, so she would just stick to selling her goods honestly.
Xu Nanwei chose a light blue backpack, a notebook, and two pens.
"You can buy a few more notebooks and keep them for later use, it's fine."
The little girl shook her head; she felt it was a waste, as a single book could be used for a long time.
When it came time to pay the bill, the young girl refused to let the two of them pay, insisting that she had money. Unable to persuade her otherwise, they let her pay.
Yu Miaomiao felt a pang of heartache at how sensible her little girl was, and patted her head.
"You're still young, you don't need to be so sensible."
The little girl nodded as if she understood, put on her new schoolbag, and happily spun around in circles. The dog followed her and spun around too, making the scene somewhat comical.
When the three returned to the villa, it was already evening.
The dungeon doesn't have sunrise and sunset, but there are broadcast reminders, with the time announced every hour from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
I had just sat down and drunk a glass of water when there was a knock on the door.
Xu Nanwei hadn't even put her schoolbag down when she picked it up again to open the door, where He Liang was standing with a bag of vegetables.
Seeing the little girl carrying her schoolbag, I pinched her soft, white cheek.
"A new schoolbag? Are you getting ready to go to school?"
"Hmph, yes, it looks nice, doesn't it? Not only does it have a new schoolbag, but it also has new stationery."
Xu Nan slightly raised her chin, smugly waving the notebook and pen in her hand.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
He Liang did his best as the straight man in the comedy routine.
"You..." Yu Miaomiao was about to ask him why he came.
Then she slapped her forehead, remembering that she had made plans to have hot pot with He Liang, but she remembered it was for tomorrow.
"We're supposed to have dinner tomorrow? Did I remember wrong?"
Yu Miaomiao looked at He Liang suspiciously, then at Lu An. Lu An shrugged, indicating that he didn't know anything about the situation either.
"I got off work early today and I have a day off tomorrow, so I came to find you guys for a good drink."
I was really craving meat, and the dungeon cafeteria didn't have any meat at all. I just couldn't stand it.
It can't be said that there was no meat at all, since there were earthworms.
"I think your real intention isn't the wine, but rather the hot pot with beef, tripe, and mutton!"
He Liang's eyes gleamed. Fatty beef! Beef tripe! Hot pot mutton! It had been so long since he'd heard of these things.
Countless times, lying on his small bed in the dormitory late at night, he would think about and recall that taste repeatedly, but he dared not say it out loud, for fear of arousing the cravings of everyone in the dormitory.
"I promised to treat you to hot pot if you helped me, and I'll definitely keep my word."
Yu Miaomiao had already entered the kitchen and found a blind spot to take the hot pot stove out of the space.
I also found two more hot pot bases, planning to make a half-and-half pot, one spicy and one tomato.
After shopping for half a day, she was hungry.
They originally planned to eat in the cafeteria, but Lu An and Xu Nanwei still found it hard to enjoy the earthworm cookies.
Although Yu Miaomiao was used to the food in her previous life, she was starting to feel reluctant to eat such "luxury food" after half a year.
After all, three meals a day are the greatest joy in the apocalypse.
They then brought out sliced beef, tripe, lamb rolls, hot pot steak, shrimp paste, bamboo shoots, and so on.
Since we're going to have hot pot, we should prepare all the dishes that everyone likes.
He Liang also went into the kitchen and washed the vegetables he had brought, including a small amount of greens and a large quantity of mushrooms.
Other vegetables in the dungeon are not growing well, but mushrooms are thriving and are being put on the shelves one after another.
The variety has also increased, including shiitake mushrooms, white jade mushrooms, seafood mushrooms, enoki mushrooms...
Besides being available in the cafeteria, you can also buy it in shopping malls with Ya Jing. Although the production volume is quite high, the price is not cheap, and most people are unwilling to spend Ya Jing to buy it.
The main buyers were large families or entrepreneurs who had been involved in the disaster.
It seems that He Liang really went all out to eat meat this time.
