Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Splitting Up

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Jin only bought flower seeds to try out a new trick she had not been able to test before she died in the previous life.

In her past life, she had stumbled across a mutated rafflesia flower. After she obtained a seed from it, however, she just happened to stumble across a small tide of zombies. Many of her teammates died to those zombies, and in her desperation she made the rafflesia seed grow. The flower that bloomed from it somehow managed to gobble up three zombies in one bite!

Eventually, she used the rafflesia to get herself out of danger. It was unfortunate that the rafflesia was later outnumbered and destroyed.

After that, she had planned to get her hands on a few more seeds to experiment with. However, she was captured by Chen Xiarong before she could.

If she could make seeds grow and use them as her weapons, that would be an insane ability.

However, the owner of the flower seeds shop said that they did not carry rafflesia seeds, and she suggested that Su Jin try to buy them online. Although Su Jin was disappointed, she still bought a few pitcher plants and Venus flytraps, plus some rose seeds on the side.

Lu Hao had no idea why Su Jin wanted these things, but he helped her carry the plants nonetheless.

On the way back, Su Jin threw some of the seeds, fruit tree saplings, and potted plants into the dimension. Since they had gone out to buy seeds, they had to return with some, right?

Besides, on Lin Cheng and Huang Yunxiang’s side, the latter had already surveyed some houses that could work as their warehouses. She was just waiting for Lin Cheng to come back and make the final decision with her. It was no that Huang Yunxiang could not make the decision herself, but she was used to deciding things together with Lin Cheng when it came to family matters. The couple enjoyed their discussions in that vein.

“Where are you now, Lin Cheng? I’m here waiting for you.” Huang Yunxiang was getting a little anxious because she wanted to go shopping too. She finally had a reason to spend money without a worry in the world, and she did not want to miss out.

“Hello! Aren’t you my brother’s sister-in-law, Sis Huang? Why are you standing here? Are you waiting for someone?”

Huang Yunxiang was flabbergasted. Why was Su Xiangmei here? She secretly rolled her eyes, feeling a strong urge to just ignore her.

“Hey, Sis Huang, I’m talking to you. Why are you here?” Su Xiangmei thought Huang Yunxiang had not heard her, so she asked again patiently. Of everyone in Li Tianhui’s family, Huang Yunxiang was the person Su Xiangmei hated the second most. Huang Yunxiang had married here from another province, yet the Lin family gave her such a huge wedding gift. They gave her 99 thousand bucks! That was quite a lot for this area. Su Xiangmei could only wish that she had met someone as nice as Lin Cheng.

“Oh, so it’s you. I’m just waiting for my husband.” So Su Xiangmei wanted to chat, did she? Huang Yunxiang would oblige her, then. Two could play at that game.

As soon as Su Xiangmei heard that Lin Cheng was on his way, she suddenly did not want to leave.

“Why are you and Brother Lin coming here? Oh, and have you asked Su Jin about that matter? Do you know who Lu Hao’s mistress is yet? Sheesh, if you really manage to catch that adulteress, why, I’d wanna teach her a lesson too! It’s so infuriating.”

Huang Yunxiang had no idea how Su Xiangmei could say that with a straight face. She had been someone else’s mistress once before too.

Just then, Huang Yunxiang saw Lin Cheng and Lin Xiuyuan approaching from a distance. Her impatient expression instantly turned to delight.

“Honey, sonny, I’m here!” Huang Yunxiang interrupted Su Xiangmei and waved at them.

“Sorry, Sis Su, but my husband and my son are back. We have other business to attend to, so I’ll see you later.” Huang Yunxiang was eager to leave.

“Hey, hey, what’s with the rush? I’m not busy right now, so I could just go with you.” Su Xiangmei saw the tall Lin Cheng walking toward them and was adamant to stay. She was wearing a new dress today, too.

Huang Yunxiang could not be bothered with her, so she made a beeline to Lin Cheng to talk to him.

Lin Xiuyuan had spotted Su Xiangmei from a mile away. That aunt-in-law of his was such a pain. He was determined to give her a snide comment or three in payment for making him embarrass himself in front of Lu Hao.

“Yo, isn’t that Aunt Su? Do you have too much time to kill again today?” Lin Xiuyuan never minced his words.

“What are you saying, boy? What’s wrong with me walking past here?” Su Xiangmei did not give in.

Lin Cheng saw how Su Xiangmei was arguing with their son and turned to Huang Yunxiang with a frown. “Why is she here? She’s so annoying.”

“I don’t know either. She just spotted it and came around, then she wouldn’t leave.” Huang Yunxiang was frustrated too. If she had known this would happen, she would not have stood in such an obvious spot.
