Chapter 45 - 45: Help
At this moment, Sun Min and Zhang Peng’s expressions changed.
In fact, it was not that they had not thought of working together with Zhang Yi at the beginning. After all, the neighbors had spread the news that Zhang Yi had a large amount of resources.
He might even have more resources than Ye Xingchen.
However, they had long discovered that Zhang Yi had blacklisted them. When they took the initiative to go to Zhang Yi’s house, they were even chased out by Zhang Yi with a gun to their foreheads.
Later on, they believed Chen Rou’er’s nonsense and wanted to take a step back to snatch Ye Xingchen’s resources.
However, they did not expect Ye Xingchen to be such a tough nut to crack.
“…Good! This is a good idea! We might as well let everyone know about Ye Xingchen’s situation!”
Sun Min was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it again, since her cousin Zhang Yi had abandoned them, she might as well let them fight each other. Perhaps when the time came, they would both suffer heavy losses, and she could sit and enjoy the benefits.
After opening the community’s large group chat, Sun Min impatiently forwarded all the photos and videos that Chen Rou’er had sent to her previously.
The reason why she posted in this group and not in the new group that the owners had added was naturally because her cousin Zhang Yi was also in this group.
“Dear neighbors, 1 only know now that there are people who live such a comfortable life when we are suffering from cold and hunger!”
“He clearly has more resources than he can use, but he’s not willing to lend a helping hand to his neighbors! He’s simply selfish and shameless!”
“These videos were personally taken by Ye Xingchen over the past few days!”
“Everyone, think about what kind of life we’ve been living recently, and what kind of life he’s been living! Everyone, is this fair?”
In an instant, the silent group chat suddenly exploded. Everyone watched the video one after another.
“What? How dare he wear such thin pajamas at a time like this?”
“Where did he get so much electricity? That one or two hours of electricity is not enough to warm our house up!”
“Was this really taken recently? Could it be a video that he had taken in the past?”
Seeing that someone in the group was questioning her, Chu Yao immediately ran out and said, “1 can assure everyone that Ye Xingchen only took these photos in the past few days. 1,1 even had a video call with him before. His house is actually brightly lit during non-power supply hours!”
“And 1 saw him move boxes of things into the house with my own eyes! There were several truckloads of things!”
These words evoked everyone’s memories.
“It seems to be true. Before the heavy snow came, 1 did see trucks parked in front of Ye Xingchen’s house several times.”
“Yeah, I saw it too. When I saw those cars driving past my house, I was afraid that they would ruin my flower bed.”
“Yes, and he suddenly started renovating some time ago. His house wasn’t so tall originally, but it suddenly increased to this height!”
“Could it be…Did Ye Xingchen already know that the snow was coming?”
“No way! Didn’t the relevant departments not find out the cause of this heavy snow?”
“But if he doesn’t know, why would he start preparing so much in advance?”
“Yes, yes, I live near him. 1 see big cars coming and going every day. According to what you said, they might be supplies!”
“Oh my god! Then if he knew in advance but didn’t tell us, then he…”
With this reminder, everyone started to attack Ye Xingchen in the group.
“How can he be so selfish! We’ve been neighbors for so many years! He didn’t even tell us!”
“He’s too unkind! How could one be like this?! Selfish people are really not human!”
Everyone blamed their suffering on Ye Xingchen. They did not think that if Ye Xingchen had come to tell them to stock up on supplies to deal with the snow disaster, they would not have believed him.
They only felt that Ye Xingchen owed them this!
“Ye Xingchen must take responsibility for this! If it wasn’t for him, would I have to starve and freeze here?!”
“Yes! He has to take responsibility! Why is he living a warm life there alone while we’re living such a miserable life?”
“His family must have stored a lot of things. He must take out his food and medicine to share with everyone!”
“He has to bear the main responsibility for our current situation!”
Not only the neighbors, but Zhang Yi also saw the videos.
His eyes were red as he curled up under the blanket. Compared to the others, he hated Ye Xingchen the most.
In the beginning, Ye Xingchen had played him for a fool.
He knew that Ye Xingchen had supplies at home, but he didn’t expect Ye Xingchen to have so many supplies. However, at that time, he had only asked him to bring out a little bit of supplies, but he had actually rejected him and even teased him.
Fortunately, the resources sent by his father, Zhang Fan, arrived.
Even so, he still had to endure the bone-piercing cold despite being able to eat his fill every day. Although he had more resources than the average person and even had a generator, the energy he used to replenish the electricity for one or two hours a day was not enough for him to turn on the heater for long.
How could Ye Xingchen live so comfortably?!
Watching the videos one by one, Zhang Yi even realized that Ye Xingchen could actually take a bath in such weather?!
The number of messages in the group instantly exceeded loo, and everyone began to mention Ye Xingchen in the group.
“@Ye Xingchen Little Ye, everyone doesn’t have much to eat now, but you still have so much food at home. Take out some and share it with everyone!”
“That’s right! We’re neighbors after all. You can’t be too selfish!”
“Yes, yes. It wouldn’t be right if you didn’t give everyone something now. Everyone lives in the same neighborhood and sees each other all the time. 1 advise you to learn how to be a human!”
All kinds of people were here, and everyone wanted a share of the pie.
The messages kept popping up, and Ye Xingchen naturally saw them too.
He just casually sent a question mark.
Seeing him come out to respond, everyone became even more excited! They all began to lecture him morally.
“Am I very familiar with you? Why should I share my things with you?”
These words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over them. Ye Xingchen certainly did not forget how they had treated him back then.
Because of his good intentions, he opened his door and died tragically in the end.
Suddenly, Ye Xingchen seemed to have thought of something fun. He opened the group chat and sent another message.
“Yeah, I have a lot of resources at home, but doesn’t Zhang Yi have more resources than me?”
Ye Xingchen had a cruel smile on his face. “Why don’t you ask Zhang Yi for it? Why don’t you ask Zhang Yi to share some with you?”
In an instant, the lively group suddenly fell silent again..
