Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 180

"Mom, what’s the matter?" When Bai Jixuan noticed his mother frowning while standing in the corner of the room, he couldn’t help but walk over. He peered down at his mother and asked lightly, "Is everything okay?"

"What?" Mother Bai snapped out of her thoughts. She raised her head to look at her son with confusion. What was he talking about? Because she was worrying about Bai Meiyue, she didn’t hear a thing that her son said to her just now.

"Why are you frowning? Did something happen?" Bai Jixuan repeated with a subtle furrow between his brows. Though he didn’t push his mother for an answer, he was truly confused. What was going on? Why was his mother making an expression like that? It was as if the sky was falling.

Mother Bai parted her lips. She wanted to tell her son about her suspicions but before the words could leave her mouth, she sighed and shook her head. No, she couldn’t make a loud fuss over this matter yet.

She had no evidence in hand; what if she was just thinking too much? If she told Bai Jixuan that she was worried about Bai Meiyue’s pregnancy, her second son would definitely make a fuss.

Maybe Lei Qian might take advantage of this opportunity to clear his relationship with Bai Meiyue.

No, this matter cannot be told to Bai Jixuan for the time being.

"Mom—"

"What are you yelling in my ears for? Isn’t it because you are unrealiable? How long has it been since I told you that I want the kitchen knob to be fixed? You are so forgetful! Such a little thing and you can’t even remember it. Ahh! I am so mad. Men! They cannot do a single thing right. Such a little thing and I need to remind you more than three times a day. Men only know how to hurt and tire women out; we can never leave important things in your hands."

Mother Bai went inside the kitchen while muttering angrily. She was angry at her daughter, at the world, and at Lei Qian—basically at everything. She cursed this and then cursed that.

Looking at his mother, who was cursing nonstop, Bai Jixuan was dumbfounded. What was going on? He just said one word and his mother rebuked him with thousands. He was worried about her! So how come the matter turned into him being unreliable? Even the entire generation of men was dragged down. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

"Brother—"

Bai Jixuan turned to look at his brother; his expression was dumbfounded. Didn’t he just forget to fix the knob in the kitchen? Why was he scolded like he had committed some grave crime?

Bai Zhan was also helpless. He knew that there was something that was troubling their mother but she could not speak to them about it. So, she was releasing her steam by scolding and quarrelling with them. He couldn’t say that they were just being used as a punching bag, could he?

Though it was not a big barter, for Bai Meiyue, who knew these fruits would soon become a rare delicacy in this world, it was an excellent request.

The second barter request was for an excellent-quality radio and in exchange, the person was willing to hand out a sabre sword.

Bai Meiyue had already read the description about the sword and she liked it very much. Though the butcher knife was good, it was tedious to clean. With the sabre sword, she no longer needed to worry about cleaning or sharpening it again and again.

She also picked up a little barter request that was for a bowl of authentic braised pork and rice in exchange for some fine-quality chocolates.

Once she was done, Bai Meiyue had an extra pair of pheasants clucking in her room along with a box of chocolates that tasted really good. However, she didn’t finish all of them; instead, she took a bite of a piece of chocolate and locked the rest up.

Bai Meiyue then closed the curtains of her room and nestled in the warm and comfortable blanket to take another nap. Now that she no longer had to worry about running around collecting supplies, she wasn’t going to treat herself badly. She would take the desired rest when she wanted and eat her fill when she felt like it.

She would never act foolishly like she did in her past life.
