Chapter 96 Doomsday Catastrophe, the Holy Mother Who Was Cut Off Twice (3)
A week later, just as the original owner had predicted, a torrential downpour began. The rain grew heavier and heavier, showing no signs of stopping.
The original owner once again urged her family to buy more supplies, especially winter items such as cotton-padded clothes and quilts. However, the original owner's father and mother were unwilling to spend the money. Xia's mother frowned and muttered impatiently, "Buying cotton-padded clothes in the middle of summer? Am I crazy? It's a waste of money, not to mention that the community doesn't have heating, they're just causing trouble every day."
Sister-in-law Liu Ru rolled her eyes dismissively and said impatiently, "You're such a jinx! Nothing good ever comes out of your house. Now look what's happened, with this heavy rain, and you're talking about buying cotton-padded clothes. I bet you just want things to get better for the family!"
Upon hearing her sister-in-law's words, the original owner felt a mix of grievance and anger. For the first time, she retorted, "What I said is true. It will rain all over the world for more than a month, and then the temperature will drop rapidly. If we don't prepare in advance, it will be too late."
Upon hearing this, Xia's mother immediately glared at her and said in a shrill voice, "You said you'd come later and make us buy this and that, but I think you just want us to spend money so you can take advantage of us."
Xia's mother's words plunged the original owner into an icy abyss. The original owner thought she was already very sensible. She had always listened to her parents since she was a child. Whether it was buying new clothes or new toys, Xia's mother always gave priority to her older brother, Xia Weijie, and she never said anything. Even when Xia's father promised to give her money for college and use it to pay for his older brother's dowry, she never said a word of objection.
Even her living expenses were earned through part-time jobs during winter and summer vacations. She started working right after graduation and sent money home every month. But in Xia Tian's mother's eyes, she came back only to scheme for their money and was afraid that she would spend their son's money...
This was the first time the original owner of the body clearly realized that although her surname was Xia, she was an outsider in her own family.
The original owner didn't say anything and silently went back to her room. For the first time, she had a sense of resistance. The cotton-padded clothes and pants she bought were all her size. Her size was too small, and no one in the family could wear them. They were too big for Xiaoyu.
Just as the original owner had predicted, it rained for over a month, and the family barely survived on the food the original owner had stockpiled. However, with six people in the family, the food was quickly consumed. They barely made it through the month-long rain, but then the weather suddenly turned very cold, most of the neighborhoods lost water and electricity, and the ground began to freeze.
The remaining survivors in the community began to band together to search for supplies outside. The original owner also felt that the food at home would soon run out, so she wanted to discuss with her older brother Xia Weijie about going out to find some food together. However, Xia Weijie shrank into a corner, not saying a word, and pretended to be invisible.
The original owner's parents started making excuses for him again, saying that the government would come to rescue them soon, and that going out now would be suicide. They said if the original owner wanted to go, he could go by himself.
Liu Ru chimed in, "Shanmei, Weijie is the man of the house. What if those people come and steal our food if he goes out? I think you should go instead!"
After being subjected to such a barrage of PUA from her family, the original owner felt like she was about to lose her mind. She immediately said, "I can't go. If a girl like me goes out, people will only target me. If they bring people home, our whole family will be finished."
After saying that, the original owner went back to her room. She wasn't stupid. In this kind of apocalyptic disaster, the law had long since collapsed, and no one would listen. If she, a girl, went out, she would only be watched, and even if she found food, she wouldn't be able to bring it back.
Taking advantage of her rebuff, Liu Ru said, "There's not enough food at home. What are we going to do with so many mouths to feed? Shanmei doesn't want to go out to find food. What are we going to do? My poor Xiaoyu is so young, yet he can't even get a full meal." She even pretended to shed a few tears as she spoke.
The original owner's parents were even more dissatisfied with her, believing that their daughter should naturally contribute to the family.
When it was time to eat, the family looked at the compressed biscuits on the table and sighed repeatedly. Each person only had two biscuits, and their share was very small.
Suddenly, after finishing his cookies, Xiaoyu started crying loudly, "Waaaaah, I want more! I want more! Why can I only have two? Auntie is so mean! I want more! Grandma, I want more!"
Xia's mother looked at her grandson with heartache and said, "Don't cry, Xiaoyu. Grandma's compressed biscuits are for you. You won't be hungry after eating them." After saying that, she secretly glanced at the original owner. Usually, whenever she, as the mother, said that she would give food to Xiaoyu, the original owner would feel sorry for him and would take the initiative to give the food in her hand to Xiaoyu, leaving the original owner to go hungry. Everyone was happy.
But this time, the original owner had been hungry for several days. Before the original owner's mother could finish speaking, she finished the biscuits in a few bites.
Xia's mother was stunned. Seeing this, Xia's father pointed at Liu Ru and scolded, "Eat, eat, eat so fast, are you a pig? Don't you know to leave some for your son? Xiao Yu is still growing."
The original owner immediately knew that Xia's father was indirectly criticizing her, saying that Liu Ru was actually cursing her for not giving away the food.
Seeing that the original owner hadn't given him the cookies but had finished them, Xiao Yu pouted and immediately said loudly, "If only Auntie weren't here, I could eat more! Auntie has lots of food in her room, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Upon hearing this, the original owner stopped indulging Xia Yu. "I bought all the food your family eats. It's all mine. If you say that again, you won't eat it!" After saying that, she went back to her room.
Xiao Yu immediately dared not speak, but his eyes were fixed on the original owner's back. As soon as the original owner left, the Xia family members' faces darkened considerably, especially the original owner's father, who felt that the original owner had not taken him, the head of the family, seriously at all, and that his authority had been challenged.
Liu Ru curled her lip and said, "What does Xia Shanmei mean by this? Does she really think she's the boss? It's just food. Let's see what she's got to be so arrogant about after the disaster is over."
After this incident, the original owner's parents really considered kicking him out.
The next day, the family changed their attitude and said to the original owner, "Shanmei, we really can't support so many people at home. Go out and find a way yourself."
The original owner felt so hungry that he was hallucinating and couldn't believe his ears. He roared, "Dad, Mom, I bought all this food, and now you want to kick me out? Why should I?"
The original owner's eldest brother, Xia Weijie, who had been pretending to be invisible, suddenly stepped forward, slapped the original owner hard, and roared, "Your parents have raised you for so many years, consider this food as repayment for their kindness in raising you all these years. What is this food of yours?"
Xia's parents then shouted, "Get her out!" With that, Xia Weijie dragged the original owner out the door and threw her into the stairwell, slamming the door shut.
The original owner stood at the door, trembling all over, desperately pounding on the door, but the door remained closed.
She also heard her nephew Xia Yu cheering, "Oh, that's great! Now that Auntie's out, I can eat as much as I want! Grandma, you should have kicked him out a long time ago..."
This commotion also attracted the attention of some ill-intentioned people in the building. When the original owner saw them, he could only run outside quickly. As a result, when he got outside, the whole world was covered in white snow.
As a result, the original owner hadn't gone far before freezing to death outside due to hunger and cold.
