Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695: A Sh**ty Revenge

"Is the food ready?" Bai Qingshi yelled at his wife for the tenth time. He tipped his head back and glared at Chu Xia, who was still trying to cut the cucumbers. "I asked you to do such a simple thing. Is it really hard to cook some pickled cucumbers and some rice? You just need to throw the spices together and mix them all up. Is it that hard?"

Now that Bai Qingshi knew that he could never rise back to the power and status where he had once stood, he had completely let go of himself. He no longer cared about anyone, including himself, so how could he treat Chu Xia better? He commanded her to do this and to do that.

Chu Xia, who had never once cooked in her life, felt terrible. She pursed her lips and started cutting the cucumber even faster. However, she couldn’t help but glance at the man behind her. In the past, when Bai Qingshi spoke those sweet words to her, she believed him. She thought that Bai Qingshi was going to treat her better than any other man; thus, she didn’t hesitate to follow him when he asked her to come with him.

If she had known that this was how Bai Qingshi was going to ruin her life, then she would have chosen someone else. Maybe a much better man with a strong character. Just look at him. Some men were working twice as hard to earn crystal nuclei, and this stupid, stupid man was staying all day at home and doing nothing. He stayed in his room like a couch potato and didn’t even help her around the house.

Chu Xia couldn’t even think about him going out to hunt zombies. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Is it ready?" Bai Qingshi drawled again, and this time even louder than before, and Chu Xia jumped two feet in the air, causing the knife in her hand to slip out of her grip.

"Ouch," she winced when the blade slashed through her skin, causing a cut mark to appear on her forefinger.

"What? What did you do now?" Bai Qingshi heard the sound of her wince and got to his feet. He strode into the small kitchen, and when he saw the cut on Chu Xia’s finger, he clicked his tongue. "Honestly? You and your daughter are like peas in a pod. Neither of you can do a decent thing. First, your daughter caused us to be caught in this mess, and on top of that, she came to look for free meals. And you are no better. I just asked you to cut the cucumbers and add in some chillies, soy sauce and salt. And this is what you do?"

"I have never done anything like this before," Chu Xia couldn’t help but snap angrily. She turned and glared at her husband before saying, "Do you think I want to do this to myself? Why would I hurt myself? To gain your non-existent pity?" The past few months had been nothing less than sheer horror for Chu Xia. It was bad enough that her daughter was never able to awaken as an ability user; to cap it all, even she couldn’t do it.

Once she was done serving him, she walked to the small room at the corner of the apartment and pushed the door open. Inside the room sat Bai Xue. She was still trying to recover from what she went through yesterday. After being taken away by Yu Miaomiao, she was dragged to this safe zone. Yu Miaomiao then struck a deal with Bai Feng. She didn’t know the crucial information regarding the deal, but she knew that Yu Miaomiao had threatened Bai Feng with her life.

Because before coming to the safe zone, Yu Miaomiao had fed her a special chip, which might cause a brutal explosion if Yu Miaomiao were to activate the chip. So, even when Bai Feng was not willing, he had to accept her conditions when Chu Xia kowtowed in front of him and begged him to save Bai Xue.

"Xue’er," Chu Xia softly called her daughter. She knew that Bai Xue was upset and worried. She knew all about the chip that Yu Miaomiao had fed her daughter, but unfortunately, there was little to nothing that she could do about it. "How are you feeling, sweetie?"

Bai Xue moved a little when she heard the voice of her mother. She turned her head to the left and looked at Chu Xia before saying, "What do you think, mom?"
