Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 84: Green Mushroom

Huifang Wang had been having a hard time lately.

Both her daughters had left her behind, preferring to brave the heavy rain rather than stay.

After seeing them leave, Huifang Wang cried her heart out, as if it darkened the sky.

Sister Gu was right, as people grow up, their hearts become wilder.

They actually just left their mother without a care.

Huifang Wang had cried all day.

Crying herself to sleep, she woke up feeling a deep emptiness.

Her daughters were gone, they didn’t need her anymore.

What kind of karma was this?

Huifang Wang was too heartbroken and wanted someone to talk to, so she went to find Gu Honghua.

When she arrived, Gu Honghua was just eating her pancakes.

A bowl of hot water and a piece of pancake, she was enjoying them thoroughly.

When Gu Honghua saw her approaching, she quickly hid the pancake behind her and wiped her mouth twice, then gave Huifang a big smile.

“Oh, little sister, why did you come?” Gu Honghua frantically hid the pancake and cursed inwardly for her bad luck.

She could’ve come any time but she didn’t.

She chose the exact moment when she was eating lunch.

Was she trying to take advantage of her?!

Gu Honghua instantly became cautious.

It was alright for her to take advantage of Huifang Wang since she had helped her so much, but it would be absolutely unacceptable for Huifang Wang to try to take advantage of her.

It was just her, a widow, and her son Da Bao.

Times were tough.

Huifang Wang even had a daughter who was a Superpower User, wanting to take advantage of a widow was just too much.

“I… just felt upset, wanted to talk to you,” Huifang Wang moved her lips.

“Talk? Sure, I’m great at chatting.” Turns out she wasn’t here for food.

Gu Honghua was slightly relieved.

“Sister, you don’t know. Those two daughters of mine…” Huifang Wang began telling Gu Honghua about her family, sobbing.

Gu Honghua was more and more pleased as she listened.

Serves her right.

With Huifang Wang being so weak-willed, how did she deserve a daughter with superpowers? She deserved to be abandoned.

“Little sister, how many times did I tell you before? Raising daughters is tough; their hearts easily go wild. You should’ve had a son, sons are much better, they surely wouldn’t abandon their mom. Look at your daughters, not a shred of conscience, saying they don’t need you anymore, unlike my son. My son is very considerate; just the other night when I went to the bathroom, he even told me to be careful not to fall.” Gu Honghua was quite gleeful talking about this.

What’s so good about having daughters?

What’s so good about having a daughter who is a Superpower User?

Not as good as her son, Da Bao.

Da Bao was so caring towards his mother.

Her son Da Bao was her most tender comfort.

“You shouldn’t have let your daughter join that Cheetah Team. What kind of person is the captain of the Cheetah Team? She doesn’t look like a decent woman at all. Just the sort to lead others astray. See, your daughter joined the Cheetah Team, and in just a few years, she didn’t need you anymore.”

“Alas, I’m so heartbroken, Wutong wasn’t like this before.” Huifang Wang clutched her chest, feeling her heart painfully twitch.

“It’s because she was led astray. You shouldn’t have let her go out. You should’ve made her marry Da Bao. If she had married Da Bao, she wouldn’t have learned bad habits.” If Liu Wutong had married her son Da Bao, she would make sure to teach her some manners.

Where would the bad influences come from then?

“But…”

“That’s it, she’s been led astray. Girls are like that, go out for a few days, see a few people, and get corrupted. Little sister, you really don’t know how to educate children. If you did, Wutong wouldn’t have abandoned you. Just up and left, without caring about her own mother who raised her.” Gu Honghua was actually quite happy, she had always been neighbors with Huifang Wang.

Wang Huifang was good for nothing, only because she had a daughter who was a Superpower User, she lived better than her.

And still, she complained about being poor.

What poverty? Having a daughter who was a Superpower User, those Superpower Users were the best at deceiving people, carrying food in sacks and sacks.

No Superpower User was ever poor.

“Sister, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’re just too nice. If I were you, I would have broken her legs.”

The more Wang Huifang listened, the more confused she became, “Really? Break her legs… but Wutong is a good kid, she just hasn’t figured it out yet…”

“She doesn’t want you anymore, and you call that good? She’s heartless, an ingrate, a dog…” Gu Honghua became addicted to cursing, almost letting her true thoughts slip out.

But she reacted quickly and forcefully changed her statement.

“In any case, she’s heartless. You should have tried to have a son with your husband back then; sons don’t have these kinds of troubles,” Gu Honghua concluded.

Wang Huifang’s brain was washed once more, and after going back home, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Her daughter, when she left, had shown no mercy at all. Was she really an ingrate? But they used to be so well-behaved…

Wang Huifang’s tears streamed down her face.

Wang Huifang cried for two days until the third day when her stomach couldn’t take it anymore.

Her stomach was incredibly flat with hunger, she went looking for food, and after a long search, she remembered that the food her daughter had given her was already gone.

The last time she brought food, she took it all away when she left.

She did not leave any for her.

Did she hate her mother that much?

As Wang Huifang searched, tears began flowing again.

Wang Huifang searched everywhere, only to find truly nothing to eat.

Having no other choice, she went to borrow from Gu Honghua.

She thought it through well, her daughter didn’t want her anymore, and she could manage on her own. She would borrow some food from Gu Honghua, find a job, and then repay her.

But Gu Honghua was unwilling.

She only borrowed from others; nobody borrowed from her.

Gu Honghua, wiping her tears, cried and told Wang Huifang there was no food at her place.

“Sister, I really want to help you. But my house really has no food. The last piece of pancake I ate, I had to beg for a long time to get it, and it’s long gone. If I had any food, I would definitely lend you some. But I really don’t, look, my poor Da Bao is so emaciated… my poor Da Bao… he’s so skinny now,” Gu Honghua sobbed while pretending to wipe her tears.

“Sister, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. But please take pity on us too.”

“Then…” Seeing how hard it was for Gu Honghua, Wang Huifang felt it was inappropriate to ask further. Yes, Sister Gu’s household with just her and her son was struggling even more than her own.

Sister Gu was already having a hard time; how could she make it even harder for her?

Wang Huifang could only sigh and leave.

The moment she left, Gu Honghua’s expression changed, and she spat fiercely onto the ground.

Ptooey.

Thinking she could take advantage.

Was taking advantage of her that easy?

Unable to borrow from Gu Honghua, Wang Huifang had no choice but to ask others.

But others also had no food. Eventually, Wang Huifang couldn’t bear the hunger any longer and ate a couple of mouthfuls of dirt.

Yet she couldn’t eat too much dirt. When she got hungry again, she had to run out in the rain, hoping to find something to eat.

She was quite lucky to have found some mushrooms.

They were green and didn’t look like regular mushrooms.

But she was so hungry at the time that she stuffed her stomach full of them.

Then she suffered the whole night.

Later, whenever she got hungry, she would run out to eat the green mushrooms, then suffer the whole night, suffer and then eat, eat and then suffer again.
