Based on Yang Jiankang's past "glorious deeds," he took out the few remaining cold medicines in his family and sold them to Shan Mingliang.

It's not surprising that Yang Jiankang is now asking Shan Mingliang for a cold medicine but doesn't want to spend a single penny.

Yang Jiankang often values ​​money more than his own life.

Yang Jiankang's frugal and unhealthy lifestyle is incredibly fortunate that he hasn't gotten any illnesses.

But no one can be so lucky forever.

Yang Jiankang's retribution came immediately; he had already caught a cold.

In the past, a cold was not fatal without medication.

There are many folk remedies that can cure Yang Jiankang, such as making himself sweat and scraping his skin.

But now, in this post-glacial era, the temperature at home can't even stay at 10 degrees Celsius, so methods like sweating and scraping are simply ineffective.

In his previous life, Lin Luo's death was partly caused by a cold.

Otherwise, given his physical strength, even if Zhao Xu and Xu Shuangyu joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him.

Yang Jiankang is already sixty years old and has always suffered from malnutrition. Without cold medicine, he would have a hard time getting through the year.

Lin Luo felt no pity for these three people whatsoever.

As he said earlier, everyone is an adult and should be responsible for their own actions.

Shan Mingliang completely ignored the three of them, as if he had disappeared.

Zhang Liping was the first to speak out: "@Shan Mingliang, don't think you can escape responsibility by remaining silent. If my two children starve, you will be the biggest culprit."

Yang Jiankang retorted, not to be outdone, "@Shan Mingliang, look at me, a sixty-year-old man. If something happens to me without cold medicine, you, Shan Mingliang, must take responsibility."

“I’ve run out of food at home, I sold it all to you, Boss Shan. If I starve myself to death, you know what will happen.”

"Boss Shan, I'm selling you my electric blanket. It's very cold now, and if I get sick from the cold, you'll be responsible."

...

Seeing Zhang Liping and Yang Jiankang threatening to take back their belongings, the others were not to be outdone and also wanted to take them back.

“You’re a bunch of idiots. If you want my stuff back, you can buy it back at ten times the original price.”

Dan Mingliang's voice narration.

Everyone fell silent immediately, no longer mentioning getting their things back.

The price they paid to Shan Mingliang was at least ten times the original price.

At this point, Shan Mingliang asked everyone to sell it back at a price one hundred times the original price.

For example, if a pound of pork ribs costs thirteen yuan, multiplying that by one hundred would give you 1300 yuan.

The price increased a hundredfold, making money faster than a bank.

"No, we don't have that much money. Anyway, you have my cold medicine, so you have to give it to me. I won't give you a single penny of money." Yang Jiankang immediately started acting like a scoundrel.

“I sold you those ten cans of milk powder. You can’t sell them to me at a higher price. My child has nothing to eat. You have to give them back to me,” Zhang Liping started to throw a tantrum.

"You're courting death by acting wildly in front of me. Go outside and find out about my reputation, Shan Mingliang. Believe me or not, I'll make you all eat fish."

Dan Mingliang had been holding back his anger all night and was looking forward to venting it: "Yang Jiankang, you have three children. Your two sons work at the Jinghai Construction Group, one in approval and the other in cost estimation. Your daughter is the accountant at the Construction Group. Your husband, Zhang Liping, is a contractor at the Construction Group. That's right, I am the boss of the Construction Group. Do you believe I can lay you off and make you eat fish?"

Construction Group is the largest enterprise in Jinghai City, providing employment for tens of thousands of people.

It's not surprising that Yang Jiankang's child and Zhang Liping's husband work at the construction group under Shan Mingliang.

"Boss Shan, you've misunderstood. I was just joking."

Yang Jiankang quickly explained.

"I am so sorry."

Zhang Liping tactfully said.

They couldn't afford to offend Shan Mingliang too much, in case the Ice Age ended.

The whole family needs to eat, so we still can't afford to provoke Shan Mingliang.

“Your family members all work under me. They have worked hard, even if they haven’t done anything particularly meritorious. Now I’m telling you, Lin Luo has a lot of supplies. You can ask him for them.”

Shan Mingliang already hated Lin Luo to the core, so he was not about to let this opportunity slip by.

Both of them are seasoned veterans, and their greatest skill is threatening others from a moral high ground.

If the two of them could persuade Lin Luo to produce the supplies, that would be the best outcome.

With these two people starting, I believe many more will speak up.

Lin Luo felt bad about not giving supplies to others after giving them to these two people.

Even if Lin Luo couldn't provide the supplies, Shan Mingliang felt he could still thoroughly annoy Lin Luo.

"@Lin Luo, Xiao Luo, I watched you grow up. Uncle Yang is in trouble now, can't you help me?" Yang Jiankang immediately played the emotional card.

“Your sister-in-law works very hard taking care of two children every day. Look how cute these two children are. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to them, would you?”

Zhang Liping immediately set her sights on Lin Luo.

"What do you mean by this? You can't get anything out of Shan Mingliang, so you think you can get something out of me?"

Lin Luo said in a cold voice.

"Look at you, kid. Uncle Yang just asked you for a cold medicine. It's not a big deal. Why are you being so stingy?" Yang Jiankang said immediately, displeased.

“Your sister-in-law usually greets you, but lately she’s seen that you’re getting on in years and it’s time for you to settle down and start a family, so she’s thinking of introducing her younger sister to you,” Zhang Liping said sternly.

"Don't call me Uncle Yang or Sister-in-law Yang, I'm not familiar with you."

Lin Luo said coldly.

“That’s going too far. We’re all neighbors and fellow villagers, and it seems like we’ve all helped each other before,” Yang Jiankang said.

“Yes, yes, we helped you before, now it’s your turn to help me,” Zhang Liping said.

"Are you two sure you helped me? I may not be good at anything else, but my memory is definitely the best."

Lin Luo sneered: "I remember when I was a kid, I played with your child a bit closely. You old man surnamed Yang called me a wild child and told your daughter not to play with me, as if you were afraid that I would kidnap your daughter."

“Yang Jiankang, you may not have a mirror at home, but you must have a pee. Look at yourself and your daughter. Do you think I would like your daughter? You old man, you still bring up things from the past.”

"If you say we won't talk about the past, maybe I'll give you a cold medicine. But if we bring up the past, I just want to beat you up."

Yang Jiankang showed no regret whatsoever: "That's all in the past, why do you remember it so clearly?"

"I remember it clearly, even if I threw the cold medicine upstairs and flushed it down the drain, I wouldn't give it to you, you old geezer," Lin Luo retorted angrily.

"You acted so ruthlessly today, no one will help you in the future," Yang Jiankang said angrily.

"I don't know if others will repay your kindness after I help them, but I'm confident that helping you will be a waste of your time." Lin Luo showed no mercy.

"You will regret this!"

Yang Jiankang could only rage in vain.
