Jiang Chuan exchanged a few pleasantries with Mrs. Sugimoto, then began to chat casually and briefly introduced himself.

"I see, you are a student studying in China... No wonder your name is so unique."

"How could these things between me and the village chief's family involve you?"

"I see, you are the husband of the Ando family's daughter. The Ando family's uncle and aunt have always taken good care of me. It was thanks to them that they helped me out yesterday."

"Eh? Oh, are you talking about my Kenta? He was born after the apocalypse, and he's just two months old now... Children are at the age when they like to cry..."

Time passed slowly as the two exchanged pleasantries and chatted about some meaningless topics.

Feeling that it was about time, Jiang Chuan went straight to the point.

"Mrs. Sugimoto, did what happened yesterday bother you?"

"..."

Mrs. Sugimoto was stunned at first by Jiang Chuan's words, and then her expression dimmed a little.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, since you know the general situation of this matter, please don't ask me anymore..."

Jiang Chuan could understand Mrs. Sugimoto's resistance. After all, the experience of being harassed would make people feel uncomfortable just by recalling it, let alone talking about it with an unrelated stranger.

"I understand how you feel, and I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable by bringing this up."

"But even if I don't say it, you should understand that that person will never give up, and my uncle and aunt can't stay at your house forever."

"..."

Jiang Chuan's words were very straightforward, and Mrs. Sugimoto's expression became even gloomier.

"Are you done, Mr. Jiang Chuan?"

"Ah."

"Are you saying this... just to humiliate me?"

"of course not."

"Don't worry. Even though we are just an orphan and a widow, we won't allow anyone to bully us. When the time comes, I will not let that bastard succeed even if I die."

Mrs. Sugimoto's tone was calm and firm.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but nodded.

"Mrs. Sugimoto, I came here for another reason besides helping the village chief deliver the bag of relief food to your family."

"Like I said just now, some things won't just pass so easily, so we need to put an end to it, don't we?"

"..."

Mrs. Sugimoto looked at Jiang Chuan, and her expression gradually became confused.

Jiang Chuan continued, "If we want to completely resolve this matter, there is only one way."

"I don't think I need to explain much, you know what that method is."

Mrs. Sugimoto was stunned.

"what do you mean……"

Jiang Chuan smiled, reached into his arms and took out a black pistol.

Then, in the shocked expression of Mrs. Sugimoto, he placed it on the coffee table.

"I'll lend this to you."

Mrs. Sugimoto stared at the gun on the coffee table, then looked at Jiang Chuan, her voice trembling slightly.

"You mean... let me use this gun..."

"Yes."

Jiang Chuan nodded as a matter of course.

Mrs. Sugimoto's expression gradually showed a hint of fear.

"How could you let me do something like this? This is no joke!"

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows: "But didn't you just say that even if you died, you wouldn't let that bastard succeed?"

"I just gave you a better choice. It's up to you to decide whether to accept it or not."

"..."

"Mrs. Sugimoto, instead of dying yourself, why don't you let the person who intends to hurt you die?"

"But……"

Mrs. Sugimoto's expression became increasingly conflicted.

As an ordinary woman, let alone being asked to kill someone, even this gun was the first time she saw it in real life.

Jiang Chuan sighed and said the last and most important sentence.

"Madam, Kenta-kun already has no father. You don't want him to be without a mother in the future, right?"

"!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Mrs. Sugimoto's face suddenly changed.

The originally hesitant expression suddenly showed a hint of hysteria.

She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.

"I understand……"

Jiang Chuan was also very satisfied when he heard Mrs. Sugimoto's answer.

Sure enough, for a mother, the most important thing is not her own life, but her children.

The reason why Jiang Chuan handed this matter over to Mrs. Sugimoto instead of doing it himself was, after all, because he was going to take control of the town next.

Although this town is in the end of the world, due to its isolation, people still keep the moral standards of the past in their hearts. A murderer would probably not be trusted by the townspeople.

Jiang Chuan's ideal plan was to give the gun to Mrs. Sugimoto and use her to get rid of the mayor's son.

As for whether this plan can go smoothly and whether Mrs. Sugimoto can do it, Jiang Chuan did not hold much hope.

The Sugimoto family is not far from the Ando family. If gunshots are heard, Jiang Chuan will definitely know about it first.

But even so, Jiang Chuan could not completely guarantee her safety. There was only so much he could do. The outcome would ultimately depend on Mrs. Sugimoto herself.

Mrs. Sugimoto slowly picked up the gun on the coffee table, put it in her hand, and looked at it in silence for a long time.

"But... I don't know how to use it..."

"Just let me teach you, it's very simple."

Jiang Chuan stretched out his hand and explained to Mrs. Sugimoto step by step how to use the gun.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Sugimoto held the gun in her hand with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"I understand... Thank you, Mr. Jiang Chuan..."

"You are welcome."

Jiang Chuan smiled and waved his hand, then slowly stood up.

"That's it, Mrs. Sugimoto."

"...Mr. Jiang Chuan is going back?"

"Well, is there anything else?"

"Mr. Jiang Chuan has helped me so much. After this... I don't know if I will have another chance to thank you. Why don't you stay and have lunch..."

Mrs. Sugimoto slowly raised her head and looked into Jiang Chuan's eyes with a pair of slightly sad eyes.

There seemed to be some strange glow in it.

Chapter 120 Out of Control Yoga Class

This lunch couldn't be described as very good even if I complimented it. It was just two bowls of white rice, some mixed vegetables made with soy sauce and seasonings, and a small dish of seaweed that looked damp.

"Sorry, there are only so many things we can eat at home right now..."

Mrs. Sugimoto brought the food to the table and sat down opposite Jiang Chuan. Her huge breasts immediately created a thrilling wave in front of Jiang Chuan's eyes.

Jiang Chuan's attention was inevitably attracted, and his appetite was aroused, but then he looked at the shabby food in front of him and couldn't help but find it difficult to pick up his chopsticks.

This was not a sign of disdain. Jiang Chuan also knew that this table of food was probably the best that Mrs. Sugimoto could come up with.

"wait a sec."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out the door.

Mrs. Sugimoto looked at Jiang Chuan's back and was a little stunned for a moment. She thought that the food in her family was so poor that others didn't even want to pick up their chopsticks. She felt very disappointed.

However, Jiang Chuan walked out of the door and returned after only a few seconds, with a black plastic bag in his hand.

"I just went out and happened to pick up some food from the car to take home. Since we're having dinner here, why don't we eat together?"

After sitting down at the dining table, Jiang Chuan opened the black plastic bag and took out things one by one from it.

Ham, canned food, biscuits, and all kinds of fresh fruits...

Jiang Chuan only took out a little of the stock, which was probably the amount that an ordinary person would buy after a trip to the supermarket. But fortunately, there were many varieties and they were all good stuff.

Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, Mrs. Sugimoto's eyes widened and her mouth opened in surprise.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan...what are you doing?"

"Of course it's dinner, what else can I do? Didn't you invite me to stay?"

"But these things..."

"Haha, sorry to make you laugh. I've always eaten better at home, so I've become a picky eater. You should just keep me company."

"..."

Jiang Chuan opened a can of luncheon meat and started eating it with the white rice in front of him.

Even though Mrs. Sugimoto felt embarrassed, she couldn't help swallowing when she saw the food in front of her that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Jiang Chuan ate with relish, so Mrs. Sugimoto no longer remained restrained. She opened a bag of ham and began to eat it slowly.

At the beginning of the meal, neither of them had much to say, but as Jiang Chuan spoke from time to time, the two began to chat.

"Did Mrs. Sugimoto grow up in this town?"

"No, my hometown is Osaka, and I came here with my husband."

"I see. How did you two know each other?"

"We were college classmates and got married right after graduation."

"How romantic... No, what a shame."

"...Where is Mr. Jiang Chuan? How did you and Miss Ando get together?"

"I saved her life in Tokyo, and we've been together ever since. It just happened naturally that we got together."

"It seems that Mr. Jiang Chuan is indeed a warm-hearted person."

"Not really."

The two chatted casually, and after several conversations, Jiang Chuan gradually got to know Mrs. Sugimoto's character.

Different from the obedient Ando Haruyuki and the submissive Mrs. Hayakawa, this young widow is not only gentle but also has a unique strength and calmness.

Even though she accepted Jiang Chuan's help and shared his food, her attitude towards Jiang Chuan did not change much. She was still polite with a hint of alienation.

The meal was finished quickly, and there was still a lot of unopened food left on the table. Jiang Chuan didn't touch it, and Mrs. Sugimoto didn't mention it either.

He burped and stood up to leave.

"Then I'll leave first."

"I'll send it to you."

After sending Jiang Chuan to the door and watching him change his shoes, Mrs. Sugimoto bowed deeply to Jiang Chuan again.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, thank you very much for your help."

"Well, Mrs. Sugimoto, everything is small..."
