Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 128: Lin Muxue tearing each other apart

“Yes, she’s not much to look at, but your uncle seems to really like her… he even gave her a scarf yesterday.”

Lin Muxue was being reported to with utmost caution.

Lin Muxue blew up when she heard this news.

She thought that old lady was just making empty threats; even after hearing about it, she specifically sought out Lin Nianbei to talk and confirmed that Lin Nianbei wouldn’t look for another wife.

She felt relieved after confirming that.

But just a few days of feeling relieved, and that old lady really found someone.

She really hooked up with her uncle.

Lin Muxue flew into a rage and went straight over.

Everyone knew she was Lin Nianbei’s niece, and since this wasn’t a particularly important place, Lin Muxue often visited, so nobody stopped her along the way, and Lin Muxue easily found Ah Xiang.

When she saw Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang was mopping the floor.

Her long hair was loosely tied up, and she was sharing a gentle smile while talking to someone nearby.

Lin Muxue saw her, didn’t think twice, and went up to grab Ah Xiang by the hair.

“So it’s you, you harlot, daring to seduce my uncle?” Lin Muxue got a clear view of her face and then scorn flashed in her eyes.

She thought Ah Xiang would be beautiful, but this? Just an ordinary, old woman.

Already having crow’s feet.

Ah Xiang was jerked by the hair, stunned for a moment, then quickly realized who it was.

“Miss, please let go of my hand. Is there some misunderstanding here?” Ah Xiang was in so much pain that tears fell.

“There’s no misunderstanding,” Lin Muxue scoffed, this was the price for seducing her uncle.

Thinking that this ugly woman dared to seduce her uncle, Lin Muxue pulled her hair even harder, as if trying to rip off Ah Xiang’s scalp.

“Miss, calm down, I really didn’t seduce anyone.”

“Lying through your teeth. Who doesn’t know that you…” Before Lin Muxue could finish, Lin Nianbei, having heard the news, arrived.

Seeing this scene, his heart ached immensely.

He yelled loudly, “Lin Muxue, what are you doing?”

Being shouted at by her uncle for the first time, Lin Muxue was startled and let go.

Ah Xiang took the opportunity to run next to Lin Nianbei.

“Uncle, why are you here? Uncle, are you taking her side?” Lin Muxue saw Ah Xiang hiding beside Lin Nianbei and a flash of resentment crossed her eyes, that harlot, when did she even run?

She was careless.

“What are you causing trouble for? Bullying Ah Xiang like this; what did she do to deserve this?” Lin Nianbei had been applying the ointment Ah Xiang gave him, and his hands were almost completely healed, it had been a while since they last hurt.

“Uncle!” Lin Muxue couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

“You’re doing it for her? You scold me for her!” Lin Muxue never expected Lin Nianbei to scold her for an ugly woman.

She was Lin Nianbei’s most dearly beloved niece.

But now, he was actually yelling at her for a woman, a woman with a plain face and a thin body!

“Xiao Xue, you’re not a child anymore. Don’t cause a scene at my workplace.” Lin Nianbei looked at Lin Muxue’s fierce face, feeling annoyed with her for the first time.

Xiao Xue was already grown up, yet still so immature.

Just now, she was pulling Ah Xiang’s hair.

“Uncle! You… you’ve been bewitched by this woman? Did she seduce you? Did she? You’re actually speaking for her and scolding me!”

“Lin… I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been so close to Brother Lin. It’s all my fault. Miss Lin, you got it wrong, I’ll leave tomorrow.” Ah Xiang, holding back her tears, bowed and apologized.

“Ah Xiang, let her fuss. Don’t make a scene, where else will you find such a good job?” Lin Nianbei frowned as he listened to her words.

Ah Xiang’s eyes brimmed with tears as she gazed at him intensely, “But I can’t let my reasons cause a rift between you all. It might be a misunderstanding, but since Miss Lin has grown distant from you because of it, it’s my fault.”

“You motherfucker! You, Old Green Tea…” Lin Muxue exploded upon hearing her words.

“I’m sorry.” Ah Xiang bowed again to apologize, then covered her face and ran away.

“Ah Xiang!” Lin Nianbei wanted to keep her, but she had already run off in a blink.

Turning around, his dear niece Lin Muxue was still causing trouble.

“Uncle, she’s just a manipulator, not only did she seduce you, she also…”

“Enough! You’re embarrassing! Get back!” More and more people were gathering around, not daring to blatantly watch their leader’s spectacle, but their ears were pricked up.

Lin Muxue felt utterly wronged; her uncle had called her a ‘thing’ over an Old Green Tea.

But despite her grievance, she was still driven away.

When Lin Nianbei returned, the two had another big quarrel.

After the argument, neither could persuade the other. When applying medicine, Lin Nianbei thought of Ah Xiang with her aggrieved expression and sighed.

Lin Nianbei had intended to stop Ah Xiang when she resigned the next day – a childless woman like her, what else could she do if not this?

He couldn’t possibly drive Ah Xiang away just because of a few words from his niece.

But Lin Nianbei waited all day and didn’t see Ah Xiang. He asked Jiang Wenhong, and found out Ah Xiang had left early, and where she had gone, he didn’t know.

All he knew was that Ah Xiang had left with a desolate face, taking nothing with her.

Lin Nianbei was incredibly anxious; he sent people everywhere to look for Ah Xiang, but after several days, there was no sign of her.

Where was Ah Xiang at this time?

She was doing business with her sister.

Now, she was teaching the workers, who had signed confidentiality agreements brought in by her sister, how to make ointments.

Actually, signing confidentiality agreements was useless at this time, but her sister liked the ceremonial aspect.

Once the agreements were signed, the workers couldn’t leave.

These workers, who might have starved before they were found, were now overjoyed.

As long as they stayed in one place and made ointments, they had food to eat.

None of them yearned for freedom.

Freedom was something only those who had eaten their fill would pursue.

The sister thought this was imprisonment, but they considered it paradise.

The sister had a sibling who was a cook, providing delicious meals.

The workers ate voraciously.

Ah Xiang hid in the factory, teaching everyone to make the necessary ointments.

Ah Xiang knew many recipes for ointments; she wasn’t afraid of teaching so much that it would starve the teacher.

The business they cooperated in was, for now, only producing this one type of ointment.

This ointment was quite effective, not only healing old injuries but also stopping bleeding.

It was bound to sell well.

Ah Xiang had always wanted to make it big, but having no connections with any significant figures and knowing only a few powerful men, whose wives were formidable, they only desired to visit her occasionally for some relief and some food – offering nothing more.

They also looked down on her, disbelieving her simple ointment was of any worth.

In bed, just a word from her and they felt it dampened the mood, let alone any other time.

Now, with the chance to make it big, splitting profits fifty-fifty, if this succeeded, she would make a fortune.
