Chapter 513: 419 Who would dare to have someone disloyal and unfaithful like you?_2

For the Qu Family’s group of one hundred people, this little space was, of course, not enough.

But no one from the Qu Family stepped forward, eager to hand over their supplies to Su Ruyan.

After waiting for a while, a tinge of embarrassment slowly appeared on Su Ruyan’s face.

She thought she hadn’t made herself clear and that these people from the Qu Family had not understood her, so she said again:

“I still have a bit of space, so if you want to bring supplies, you need to give them to me quickly…”

Still, no one from the Qu Family came forward. Some even began to question,

“If we give you our supplies to put in your space, when will you give them back to us?”

This time, leaving from City E, Uncle Qu had taken them to a small market.

In that small market, there were still many supplies from before the apocalypse.

Therefore, each person had stuffed their backpacks full of supplies.

This backpack of supplies was the foundation for their survival in the post-apocalyptic world.

Giving them away to Su Ruyan rashly would leave these people feeling very insecure.

Full of disdain, Su Ruyan looked at the man who had raised the question.

She memorized his face, determined to refuse if he asked her to carry supplies later,

“If you need it, come find me to get it.”

“But don’t ask me for supplies while I’m sleeping. I don’t like being disturbed during my sleep.”

“Also, when I’m doing my private matters, don’t come to me for supplies either.”

As a woman, women are naturally more troublesome than men – they need to dress up, wear clean clothes, and attend to eating and bodily functions.

Each of these was very important to Su Ruyan.

She did not want someone coming to her while she was changing clothes or using the restroom, asking her to retrieve supplies for them.

The men around Su Ruyan whispered among themselves for a while, then fell silent.

And Su Ruyan continued to stand in place, waiting.

She was waiting for those men to fawn over her, flatter her, and beg her to take their supplies into her space.

But after a long wait, just as Su Ruyan was growing impatient, a man stepped forward and said to her,

“Oh, does that mean if we give you our supplies, you will give them back to us whenever you feel like it?”

At his words, Su Ruyan’s complexion changed. She felt a heavy disrespect.

And the murmured conversations around her grew louder. At that moment, Su Ruyan heard clearly what the men were saying,

“Do they think we are fools? Giving you our supplies; we can’t see them or touch them – that’s so insecure.”

“Supplies are so important now. What if we need something on the fly, yet we have to depend on whether you’re in a good mood? If you’re not, then don’t we have to coax you, wait until you’re in a better mood, to get the supplies we want?”

“That’s no good. It’s extremely inconvenient if I can’t get the supplies I need on hand when I need them.”

“And if the important supplies are in your hands, don’t we have to go even further to coax you?”

“Since it’s very important to us, and we have to coax you to get it back, why would I give you the important supplies in the first place? Why wouldn’t I just carry the important supplies myself?”

On this point, the men began an even more profound discussion, all talking at once.

With many people, they would delve deeper into the problem.

They tossed around all sorts of complicated possibilities and scenarios.

Su Ruyan’s face grew darker and darker.

She thought that after coming to the Qu Family, she would receive attention from this large group and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by admiring stars.

Yet her proactive offer to help carry some of the group’s supplies had actually been met with disdain.

Su Ruyan was very displeased.

Her brows furrowed tightly, and her gaze drifted outside reflexively.

If the Qu Family did not value her presence enough, then she still had another option, which was to join Hua Mi’s group.

There were fewer people in that group, and they had significant backgrounds.

Not to mention the couple, just the man named Lin Zhigang alone, who had come out from Xiang City Base.

If Su Ruyan were to take refuge with Lin Zhigang, at least she would not have to deal with such complex social interactions.

There wouldn’t be as many voices questioning her, at most just the ugly woman, Hua Mi, spouting a few sour comments.
