In the ice age apocalypse, I hoarded ten billion worth of supplies

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 The scheming mother



After a while, Zhang Yi heard a knock on the door.

Then came the voice of Uncle You.

"Zhang Yi, this is You Jiguang. Are you home?"

He habitually looked outside through the surveillance.

But soon Zhang Yi frowned.

Because it was not only Uncle You standing at the door, but also a woman holding a child.

Although she was wrapped in a thick down jacket, Zhang Yi knew that she must be the mother Xie Limei.

"What is she doing here?"

Zhang Yi still had a good impression of Uncle You, but he and Xie Limei had no friendship.

And because of his experience in the previous life, he always felt that this woman was not simple.

Zhang Yi stood up from the chair and walked to the door.

Zhou Ke'er just took a look, but did nothing. Zhang Yi was the master of this house.

Zhang Yi came to the door and did not open it. "Is it Uncle You?"

He asked knowingly.

Uncle You said, "Yes, it's me."

Just at this moment, Xie Limei behind him said, "Zhang Yi, our Tangbao has a high fever. Please help her!"

Her voice was tearful.

Zhang Yi took out a box of acetaminophen suspension drops and a box of sunflower cold medicine that he had prepared long ago, and threw them out from the shooting hole above.

"Then give the medicine to the child quickly! At this time, being sick is not a trivial matter."

Uncle You quickly picked up the medicine on the ground, his eyes full of excitement.

"Zhang Yi, thank you, thank you so much!"

Xie Limei took the medicine.

Uncle You wanted to take her with him, but a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She said, "Zhang Yi, I want to ask you a favor. Can you let the baby stay at your house for a while?"

"I know you have a heater in your house, it's warmer. But our house is cold!"

"The baby is sick now, I'm worried that she will get frozen. Can you help us with this?"

Uncle You next to him was stunned for a moment.

When she came, Xie Limei didn't tell him about this matter.

He felt a little embarrassed, because he hadn't communicated with Zhang Yi before coming.

Now Xie Limei suddenly proposed to put him in the middle, which was very embarrassing.

But seeing Xie Limei's sad eyes, he didn't know what to say.

In the room, Zhang Yi heard Xie Limei's words, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Are you asking for more?

"Is it Sister Xie? I'm so sorry, I can't let anyone in at this time. And our coal is almost burned out. To be honest, the temperature is not much higher than outside."

Zhang Yi will not be moved by her.

Xie Limei said it nicely, for the sake of the child.

But neither he nor Zhou Ke'er had experience in taking care of children, and even if they did, he was too lazy to do such a thing.

So once the child was let in, Xie Limei could follow in under the pretext of taking care of the child.

It was easier to invite a god than to send him away. If she had some bad intentions, wouldn't Zhang Yi have to be on guard 24 hours a day?

He wouldn't bother!

After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Uncle You whispered to Xie Limei: "Zhang Yi is very kind to us and sent medicine to the child. Let's go back and cover ourselves with more clothes so that we won't get cold."

Xie Limei wiped her tears and cried: "What do you know as a man? The baby is so small and very fragile."

She said to Zhang Yi inside the door: "Zhang Yi, I know this request is a bit inappropriate. But I really have no choice!"

"I know you are kind-hearted, so I shamelessly made this request."

"Please let the baby stay at your house for a while for the sake of the baby and Brother You!"

After saying this, Uncle You next to him was also involved.

Generally speaking, if you are not a particularly hard-hearted person, you will give in.

When you make a big request to someone, it is best to make a small request first.

Then after the other party agrees to the small request, it will be embarrassing not to agree to the big request later.

It can be seen that this woman is not simple. Xie Limei deliberately did not communicate with Uncle You in advance, but waited until Zhang Yi delivered the medicine before proposing to let the baby live in Zhang Yi's house.

But she underestimated how hard Zhang Yi's heart was.

Zhang Yi stood by the door with his arms folded, "Sister Xie, if this request was before the end of the world, I would definitely agree."

"Now now you know, hey, everyone in this building wants to rob my house and my life."

"I'm really scared and dare not let strangers in."

"I believe you can understand me, right? Uncle You, you should understand, right?"

Uncle You nodded repeatedly.

At this time, he was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle, but his gratitude to Zhang Yi in his heart made him unwilling to continue to trouble Zhang Yi.

"Yes, Zhang Yi has been good enough to us! Otherwise, who would be willing to give us medicine? Do you know how difficult it is to get medicine now?"

Xie Limei bit her lip and did not refute Uncle You, but her eyes were full of tears, looking pitiful.

"But, didn't he let Zhou Ke'er live in their house?"

Zhang Yi smiled contemptuously and said, "Zhou Ke'er is my girlfriend. Is there any problem?"

Zhou Ke'er heard this drama, although she knew in her heart that Zhang Yi was just perfunctory, but the corners of her mouth still curled up slightly.

Compared to the truth, women care more about men's sweet words.

Even if she knows it is false, she will hypnotize herself and think it is true.

Xie Limei frowned slightly, as if thinking about her excuse.

But Uncle You is not as thick-skinned as her!

Zhang Yi has helped him several times, he can't lose face as a man!

So he pulled Xie Limei and said with a serious expression: "Let's go, don't cause trouble for others. Zhang Yi is very kind to us, don't go too far!"

Seeing that Uncle You was really angry, Xie Limei immediately changed to a wronged face.

"I know. I don't want to do that either. It's all for the children." Uncle You said to the room, "I'm sorry, Zhang Yi. Don't bother with her. Thank you for this time!" Zhang Yi also said, "It's okay. Everyone can understand this feeling. Let's support each other!" Through the surveillance, Zhang Yi saw Uncle You taking Xie Limei and the child downstairs. He returned to the dining table and said to Zhou Ke'er, "This woman is a bit troublesome!" Zhou Ke'er said disapprovingly, "Aren't there many people like this?" Zhang Yi shrugged, "That's true, but Uncle You and I have a good relationship. I'm afraid she will interfere with our relationship in the future." Uncle You is the ideal worker chosen by Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi doesn't want a woman around Uncle You to whisper some improper things in his ears. Zhang Yi is more vigilant about Xie Limei. At least, she also covets Zhang Yi's house and materials.
