20: Chapter 2 Listen to advice, and you'll eat your fill.

When she finally reached the 8th floor, the dog in 801 heard the sound of Wang Dongmei knocking and began to bark incessantly.

The family inside was extremely annoyed; they had initially thought Wang Dongmei would leave if no one answered the door.

However, upon hearing the dog barking inside 801, Wang Dongmei’s aggression immediately flared up.

"Don't hide inside and refuse to open the door! I know you're home!"

"Open the door! Have you no shame! Locking an old woman like me outside!"

"God damn it! Is there no justice! The Building Leader doesn't care, and there's no rescue! Are you all just going to watch me and my grandson be stranded in the Emergency Exit?"

"Is there no law anymore!"

"Does anyone even care!"

The residents of 801 were a young couple. Seeing this, they immediately posted the surveillance footage to the Building Chat Group, letting everyone judge for themselves.

Most people were rational; seeing Wang Dongmei made them feel uneasy. Getting cursed at for no reason was a mess no one wanted to deal with.

Purple Rose (152): [Sister, whatever you do, don't open the door for her. I passed by her once before, and she spat at me several times. She's bad luck.]

Qingshan Rice (902): [Yeah, she’s cursed me out before too. Her reputation was already bad. Look at her now—karma finally caught up!]

Sleeping with Books (113): [Sigh, we're all neighbors. Besides, an old lady and a child... it doesn't look easy for them. We should be more forgiving.]

Little Silly Hiyori (503): [I actually wanted to open the door for her just now, but I was in the shower and didn't hear it. I didn't expect her to go upstairs.]

As soon as Lin Wanrou spoke, the Building Chat Group fell into a few minutes of silence. Then, people began to mock her sarcastically.

Cai Wenji Leg Burger (242): [Right, you could have opened the door. Why don't you go upstairs now and invite that old lady into your home?]

Rain Has Parting Intent (303): [Exactly. If you have such an overflowing 'Holy Mother' heart, you should display it in front of the people involved. What's the point of being a Monday morning quarterback in the group chat?]

Lin Wanrou stared at the messages on her phone, her hand gripping it so tightly it looked as though she might crush the screen. Fu Peisheng wasn't in the Building Chat Group, but he saw the twisted, furious expression on Lin Wanrou's face.

He couldn't help but ask, "Wanrou, what's wrong? Was someone knocking just now? I thought I heard something while I was showering."

A flash of guilt crossed Lin Wanrou's face. "No, you misheard."

Fu Peisheng looked at Lin Wanrou. He wanted to say something else, but seeing her glued to her phone, he lost all desire to continue the conversation.

Another resident on the 8th floor, in 803, couldn't stand it anymore.

Gentle Breeze (803): [Unit 01, how can you be so heartless? They've been knocking for so long. What's the harm in opening the door?]

Pillow Will Sprout (801): [Since you're so sympathetic, why don't you let them stay at your place!]

Pillow Will Sprout (801): [If I remember correctly, you live alone. Having two more people would make things lively. After all, you're so 'beautiful and kind'!]

The resident of 803 was indeed a young girl, a college student. She was the type who couldn't bear to see others suffering, especially the elderly and children.

She usually valued her reputation highly. Hearing 801 call her 'beautiful and kind,' the girl from 0803 acted on a sudden impulse and went to open the door.

"Granny! Come stay at my place! I live alone, and I happen to have a spare room!"

Wang Dongmei had been continuing her tirade at 801's door, but upon hearing the girl from 0803, her face immediately lit up with joy.

"Oh, young lady, you're so kind!"

"You really are a wonderful person!"

"I'll go get my grandson and bring him up right now!"

After saying this, Wang Dongmei didn't even bother to ask the girl's name or mention payment. She turned around immediately to fetch Qian Jinpang.

When she entered the apartment, Wang Dongmei's tone was no longer the pitiful one from moments ago.

Instead, it carried a hint of condescending superiority. "What are you just standing there for? Bring my luggage up!"

The girl from 803 was named Zhao Haitang. Hearing Wang Dongmei's words, she was momentarily stunned, wondering if she had misheard.

But as she watched Wang Dongmei lead Qian Jinpang into her room without even changing their shoes, Zhao Haitang suddenly felt her temple throb.

Just then, the resident of 801 walked out with their phone. "Look, everyone! Zhao Haitang from 0803 has taken Wang Dongmei in. What a truly 'wonderful' person!"

After recording the video, the resident of 801 sent it to the group chat.

Seeing Wang Dongmei acting this way, Zhao Haitang felt a pang of regret. However, since 801 had posted the video in the group, her pride wouldn't allow her to kick the two of them out.

Ye Qingqing looked at the messages in the group chat and shook her head with a frown.

She had a feeling that the girl from 803 would suffer greatly later on. After all, in the Post-Apocalyptic World, everyone was a scorpion; no one knew if the person standing next to them was a human or a ghost.

Ye Qingqing estimated that Zhao Haitang's life would be difficult from now on. She only hoped the worst-case scenario wouldn't happen.

Zhao Haitang was reluctant, but seeing Wang Dongmei acting exhausted and looking at the chubby child, her heart softened again.

She went downstairs herself and carried all of Wang Dongmei’s luggage up.

Wang Dongmei was overjoyed. After Zhao Haitang had run up and down four or five times, Wang Dongmei handed her a bottle of mineral water.

Just as Zhao Haitang took it and was about to say thank you, she suddenly noticed that the case of Coke she had left in the living room was already more than half-consumed by Qian Jinpang.

At that moment, Qian Jinpang was lying on her sofa, not even taking off his shoes before stepping directly onto it.

A clear shoe print was left on the white sofa.

For a moment, Zhao Haitang was so furious that she started shouting.

"You little brat! How can you step on my sofa without taking off your shoes!"

"And why are you drinking my Coke!"

"Ah! And my snacks and chocolate!"

"My home doesn't welcome you! Get out!"

Seeing this, the resident of 801 secretly took out their phone and recorded it, then sent it to the Building Chat Group.

Pillow Will Sprout (801): [Listen to advice and get a full meal. This is the consequence of not listening.]

Pillow Will Sprout (801): [Look at that. How long has it been since they moved in? This girl spent half an hour moving things for those two plagues. Hahaha, I'm dying. Good thing I didn't open the door.]

Wang Dongmei had spent the entire morning knocking on doors, and no one had opened. Now that she had finally found a sucker, she was being yelled at before she could even get comfortable.

Naturally, Wang Dongmei couldn't tolerate this. She stood up, hands on her hips, and began to shout back at Zhao Haitang, "You young girl! Why won't you listen!"
