Qi Meiying’s shout was so loud that it waked up all the residents in the 15th floor, upstairs and downstairs.
Qi Meiying’s husband, Cang Jun who was still sleeping in the room also ran to the utility room where his wife’s scream came from and asked her what had happened.
"You are asking me what happened, you sloth! Look! The supplies are gone! All you know is sleep! Why didn’t you guard it while I was sleeping?" Qi Meiying glared at her useless husband and kicked his waist.
Cang Jun hissed, rubbed his waist, and looked at the utility room. This was converted into a temporary storage last night and it was full of supplies but now it was gone and what remained were the empty shelves and empty boxes.
"Where did they go?" Can Jun was stunned.
"You think I know?" Qi Meiying was beyond angry. She knew this husband of her was hen-pecked, afraid of her and so he would not dare to steal the supplies which mean she was robbed!
Her supplies were robbed!
Who was it?! Who has the guts! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Auntie Qi, what was it?"
"Qi Meiying, I heard you shouting so early in the morning! Did something happen? Is it about the government?"
"Hey, look Auntie Qi’s door lock is left open." One of the residents who responded to the shout noticed the door was open and pushed it.
The residents thought something happened inside. Auntie Qi is the one managing the supplies. If something had happened to her then they will be affected as well.
They decided to rush in.
"Dear, what do we do now? We won’t have anything to eat." Cang Jun was happy last night that he had a full meal and clean water to drink but now their life had to revert back to when he could barely eat.
It made him very unhappy.
Suddenly, his eyes were shocked as it fell on the entrance of the living room. Cang Jun grabbed his wife’s wrist trying to stop her from saying anything, "Dear...dear…"
Qi Meiying gritted her teeth at her husband’s priority. "All you care about is eating and sleeping. Are you a pig? We have an even bigger problem now. If those residents will find out that the supplies will be gone, then you and I will be in big trouble!"
"What are you saying Auntie Qi? The supplies are gone?"
Auntie Qi was startled by the third voice. She turned around and only found out there were other people in her house.
When did these people come in?
"No! You heard it wrong!"
"Then, if it was just our ears playing tricks, then take out the supplies for us to see!"
How could Auntie Qi do that when the thief didn’t even leave a single thing!
Furious, the residents turned Auntie Qi’s house upside down and couldn’t find a single packet of noodle.
Their blood boiled and Qi Meiying’s screams echoed in the unit.
News flies fast and in less than an hour, almost all the building residents knew about the supplies being missing.
It also reached Sun He, the other HOA’s members, and Zhou Gui.
Sun He and the other HOA’s members were also agitated and hurried towards Auntie Qi’s unit and what they saw was Auntie Qi’s face swelling and filled with bruises. Her husband was in the same situation.
They asked Auntie Qi of what happened or where she hid the supplies but the latter only said she was robbed.
"I was robbed!"
