"Brother Hu!"
When Su Hu heard Xiang Mei’s voice, he jumped. This had now become his instinctive reaction whenever Xiang Mei was around him; this woman seemed to have sensed that she had become the core member of the survivors team; thus, Xiang Mei had grown more or less arrogant.
What was more, now that Bai Xue was relying on her, she didn’t stop Xiang Mei from getting close to Su Hu and let the woman cling to Su Hu. Because Bai Xue didn’t stop her, Xiang Mei had gotten bolder and bolder.

"What’s the matter?" Su Hu turned and looked at the woman behind him. With an annoyed but flattering expression, he said to Xiang Mei, "What’s the matter, Meimei?"
"It’s Sister Xue," Xiang Mei sighed. However, just as she lowered her head, a look of vicious resentment flashed in her eyes, which she obscured and continued, "She had picked up more survivors. We wanted to chase them away, but she allowed them to stay with us. Can you talk with her? There is a limit to which we can support the survivors."
"Now, everyone is relying on my skills, and I cannot grow so much food. Who knows when Brother Feng will return? Can we withstand such pressure till then?"
"What!?" Su Hu felt his heart jump into his throat as he turned on his feet and rushed downstairs. When he saw Bai Xue distribute the remaining supplies to the new survivors, he was so angry that his head buzzed. Was this woman crazy? Or was he crazy?!
What was more, neither Chu Xia nor Bai Qingshi stopped her. Even if they wanted to dote on this daughter of theirs, there was a limit to craziness!
"Bai Xue!" Su Hu climbed down the stairs, caught Bai Xue’s wrist and pulled her to one side. He said to her, "What do you think you are doing? We have limited supplies to begin with; if you hand out the remaining supplies, what are we going to do?"
Bai Xue was stunned when she saw Su Hu questioning her. She blinked her eyes and then said to him, "Are you blaming me? I just pitied them because they looked so pitiful. Look at them; they are so thin and sorry looking—"
"I know that they look pitiful!" Su Hu was annoyed upon hearing her words. In the past, he used to find these habits of Bai Xue really cute. But now that half of his stomach was churning with starvation, how could he watch what Bai Xue was doing without getting angry?
However, before he could lose his temper with Bai Xue, the woman started crying. Big, pearl-sized tears started to fall from her eyes. Discover exclusive tales on freewebnovel
"SU HU!" Chu Xia rushed towards the man who made her precious daughter cry and smacked him on the back of his head harshly. "What are you doing? Why are you making Xuexue cry? What has she done to make you scold her like this?"
"Aunt Chu—"
"Shut up!" Chu Xia scolded the man fiercely. "Do you think that you can do anything you want? Don’t forget that you are living off our family. Who do you think you are to scold my daughter? Know your position!" She finished harshly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Hu’s face turned red with shame and humiliation. If this were before, he would have turned around and never turned back to look at Bai Xue, but he was an orphan and a small star; he didn’t have a family who would look after him. Thus, even though he was embarrassed by Chu Xia like this, he couldn’t leave.
Bai Xue was quite satisfied with Chu Xia’s scolding. These days, Su Hu was getting more and more rebellious. She said one thing, and he would retort with two. How could she not be upset? This man was now relying on her and her family. What was with his attitude?
However, she still smiled and offered Su Hu the carrot after the stick. "Don’t worry, Brother Hu. I am not that careless; I think we can now go out and collect supplies from the supermarket closest to our building. This little food won’t last long anyway."
"So, we might as well collect a few supplies."
"But...how can we do that?" Su Hu asked with a look of hesitation and worry in his eyes. "We don’t have any supernatural beings that can fight with zombies."
"It’s okay," Bai Xue said as she patted him on the arm. She then explained, "Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian left the building, which means that they will certainly clean the streets. You just need to make a team and follow them; however, there is no need to follow them to where they are going. Just go to the nearest supermarket and bring the supplies."
After realising that the man who slept with Bai Meiyue was none other than Lei Qian, Bai Xue’s thought process twisted more and more. In her eyes, Bai Meiyue was someone who was supposed to be under her feet; everything she was supposed to have should have been worse than her.
And if Bai Meiyue got something better than her, then sooner or later, that thing or person would belong to her. Since Lei Qian was going to belong to her, what was wrong with her taking advantage of him and his skills?
Bai Meiyue, too. That woman was allowed to live for so long because she was supposed to become her stepping stone. Thus, there was nothing wrong with her actions of taking advantage of Bai Meiyue’s hard work. That woman owed it to her!
Bai Xue didn’t think that these actions of hers were embarrassing.
On the street, Bai Meiyue and Lei Qian had no idea that they were being used as human bulldozers to clean the trash. If they had known, they would have been so furious that at least Bai Meiyue would have punched Bai Xue in the nose for her shamelessness!
