Chapter 2: Fear the World is not in Chaos

Bang!

The rolling pin hit the cupboard hard and Yu Shi Lan escaped through predicting the attack’s trajectory. At this moment, she was thankful that she had an abundant of fighting experience.

Otherwise, this weak and useless body would never be able to hold on in the slightest bit.

“Murder! Murder!” Yu Shi Lan still shouted out loud.

“Shut up!” Su Wan Rou was so angry that she wanted to shut Yu Shi Lan’s mouth as soon as possible. “Stop slandering me, Yu Shi Lan!”

“What happened here?” The main bedroom’s door opened and Wang Kai Tan, Yu Shi Lan’s foster father, walked out with frown on his face. He had just washed up and then he heard these two people screaming so loudly in the middle of the morning.

He first looked in Yu Shi Lan’s directions with dissatisfaction.

This girl is usually quite obedient and listened to their words very much. How come she make such a big scene early in the morning?

“Uncle Wang, you have to help me! Aunt Su wants to kill me!” Yu Shi Lan acted as if she had found a backer, but she still yelled so loudly as if she was afraid that the entire world would not be able to hear.

Moreover, her voice was hoarse and there was a hint of weakness.

After all, Yu Shi Lan indeed had a fever and she was basically forcing her body to move in order to complete her plan.

Because she didn’t have enough time.

In her previous life, she forced herself to work after being beaten up by Su Wan Rou, enduring the pain and the headache. In the end, she fainted and missed out completely when the earthquake happened and was trapped in the ruined apartment for three days before being rescued while she was on the verge of death.

She only managed to hear the intermittent voice from the rescuers so that she knew what happened.

After that, she was hospitalized for an entire month.

This caused her to miss out the golden opportunity to understand the changed world and her weak body was unable to adapt. Many times, she nearly died in order to survive and when she finally met with her foster parents and step brother, they only wanted to send her to her death after squeezing her entire value.

Yu Shi Lan’s eyes turned red in anger and hatred when she remembered her first life.

“Nonsense! I’m just teaching a naughty brat a lesson!” Su Wan Rou yelled back in anger, her face flushed red.

“Calm down, both of you.” Wang Kai Tan raised his hand to stop Su Wan Rou from continuing and gave her a warning with his eyes. They could live their comfortable life because of Yu Shi Lan’s father’s pension.

After Yu Shi Lan grew up and could work, the pension will be stopped.

She’s already 17 years old and there was only a little bit of time left.

“Tsk.” Su Wan Rou could only lower the rolling pin with great annoyance and glanced out of the window. “What are you looking at? Get out of here!”

The people outside still wanted to see, but seeing that Su Wan Rou was about to go crazy, they could only leave one by one. This woman’s temper was not very good and they all knew about it very well.

Yu Shi Lan’s eyes flickered as she watched this scene.

She had long known that Wang Kai Tan and Su Wan Rou’s reputation among the neighbors were not very good. But because they acted like a decent human being, the neighbors would not be such a busybody.

Some of them even kindly reminded her that if she was being mistreated, she should speak up and fight back instead of holding back everything in her heart like this.

But the stupid her never understand.

So stupid.

“I’m already not feeling well today! I don’t want to work and I want to buy medicine!” Yu Shi Lan stated her requirements without hesitation.

“What medicine is needed? Just go back to sleep and then get back to work…”

“No! I want medicine for fever! Aunt Hai said that if I’m not happy, I can go to the office and ask my Uncle to let me stay in another place!” Yu Shi Lan directly used this threat.

Su Wan Rou was startled and then gritted her teeth.

She cursed in her heart.

That damn Aunt Hai was indeed such a busybody and because of her powerful background, Su Wan Rou really couldn’t do anything to the other party.

It was truly infuriating.

“Alright, it’s just one day.” Wang Kai Tian prevented them from fighting. He had tasted the luxurious life of being able to earn a lot of money without doing anything, so he wouldn’t want to lose it.

It’s just some medicine, how expensive is fever medicine?

“There’s medicine in the medicine box and you don’t have to buy it.” Su Wan Rou didn’t want to give money to Yu Shi Lan in the slightest bit. In her opinion, it’s better for Yu Shi Lan to die as quickly as possible.

Only in this way would it be possible for them to enjoy a good life with her father’s wealth.

“I’ll check it myself.” Yu Shi Lan walked into the main bedroom and headed straight to the medicine box. She looked at the medicine inside and saw two packs of fever medicine. One of them had expired and the other one was still a few months away.

She quickly hid the one with the long expiry date and then walked towards her father’s drawer.

Even though she didn’t have the Qi in her body, but she still has some skills that she had learned in that world.

One of them was lock picking.

*cough*

Her skills learning was indeed a bit in the grey area.

Yu Shi Lan pried the lock open and saw the secret money box and the most important household register. She took them and put it into her bag without hesitation.

These are the money that her father earned with his life.

Why does these two parasites had to be the one to enjoy it when she, his daughter, couldn’t even get it?

“Have you gotten the medicine?” Wang Kai Tan’s voice came from the living room and Yu Shi Lan walked outside while holding the pack of expired fever medicine. Her expression remained calm as if she hadn’t done anything that shouldn’t have been done.

“It’s expired. I want to buy a new one!” Yu Shi Lan said with stubborn look.

“You…” Wang Kai Tan looked at the beads of sweat on Yu Shi Lan’s face and guessed that this girl should feel very uncomfortable today, which was why she made so much trouble.

He sighed and nodded at Su Wan Rou.

Receiving her husband’s hint, Su Wan Rou grumbled and took out her wallet and handed over the money to Yu Shi Lan, just enough to buy one pack of fever medicine.

“After you buy the medicine, stay at home obediently and watch over the house.”

Yu Shi Lan’s eyes flickered as she took the money and nodded.

She quickly went to the door and wore her shoes, not caring about her step brother who had just woken up.

Today is the day when the family of three wanted to go on a trip.

Yes, they left behind the feverish her and went on a trip without hesitation in her first life, which was why they could escape from the disaster of nearly being buried alive in this apartment building.

Really…

Yu Shi Lan’s fingers gripped the bag tightly as she walked outside.

She hated them so much.

But more importantly, she hated herself for stupidly believe that they truly cared for her when in truth, they never did.
