Chapter 374
After the Zhou family encountered the extremely bad relative who came to their house, everyone was in a bad mood.
In the evening, Grandma Pang and Zhong Tiyun prepared a sumptuous dinner for the whole family.
A dish of braised potatoes, a dish of fried peanuts with salt, a dish of cold water celery, a dish of braised beef slices, and a dish of preserved egg and tofu soup.
Tofu is also fresh tofu made by Grandma Pang using soybeans.
Ever since Zhou Shuwan and the others returned from the southern coast, the meals at home have become much richer.
After moving to the villa, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu brought back several large freezers and refrigerators from outside, which were filled with various meats, fish, eggs, vegetables and fresh fruits.
Although the variety is not as complete as before the end of the world, it is already quite rich.
Grandma Pang was naturally surprised by this.
Qi Mingyu was already familiar with dealing with Grandma Pang, and quietly told her that he had exchanged a lot of supplies with others outside, some of whom were gangsters, because they occupied many large supermarket warehouses and freezers, and had fresh eggs, meat, vegetables and fruits.
But these cannot be told to outsiders.
Grandma Pang nodded repeatedly and sighed, "There are so many people out there who don't have enough to eat, and we live such a comfortable life. It's a bit of a sin to think about it!"
Qi Mingyu just smiled and said, "Grandma, life is all about food and drink. Wanwan and I are the younger generation. All we ask for now is to take good care of our family. We don't ask for anything else!"
Grandma Pang sighed, "You and Wanwan are both capable. Wanwan has a good personality and strong abilities. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are both people who love their children and never cause trouble. Although Mumu is still young, he is also very sensible. Now he can take on half of the housework and is not spoiled at all. Xiaoyu, you found a good daughter-in-law! Seeing that you are living such a good life, grandma is relieved even if she closes her eyes!"
This is extremely unlucky.
Qi Mingyu immediately called out, "Grandma!"
Grandma Pang smiled lovingly, "I'm just saying, Grandma is in great health now. I eat eggs and meat every day, so how could she be in bad health? I'm just telling you. Originally, I was always worried that you and Wanwan couldn't have a child, but look at those children born after the apocalypse. Their lives are so hard, and they all look like little radish heads! As long as you have a good life, it doesn't matter if you don't have children. When the apocalypse is over and living conditions improve, you can adopt another one!"
Qi Ming remained silent.
Grandma Pang looked out the window and sighed for a long while: "I don't know how your father and the others are doing? There is no news at all."
Qi Mingyu said nothing.
While eating, the family talked about Uncle Zhong's visit.
Zhong Tiyun didn't mention anything else, just a little puzzled: "Why didn't I see the two children from your cousin Qinghui's family today? And Xingyu, didn't I see her either? Didn't she come with you? I wanted to ask a few questions, but I was angry about your uncle's family's attitude, so I didn't ask."
Although they had completely broken off relations with Uncle Zhong's family, Xingyu and the others were still the younger generation. As an aunt, Zhong Tiyun was still a little worried.
No one in the family said a word.
Finally, Zhou Jianghai said, "Maybe they didn't come with you. Anyway, the two families are not close anymore. Whatever happens to them, their own family will take care of it. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhong Tiyun could only sigh: "Yeah, I don't care anymore. Let's just do what we have to do."
Zhou Shuwan seemed to be lost in thought.
According to Xingyu's personality, if a family comes to take advantage of her, she should follow them no matter what.
Can she really stay at home and take care of two children?
"What if they come again another day?" Zhong Tiyun asked again.
Zhou Shuwan sneered, "What are you afraid of? I'll report to the property management office tomorrow and tell them not to come over! If they really continue to harass us, it won't be as simple as a beating! Expelling them from the base won't be a big deal."
After the new base was built, countless survivors would relocate there, gradually forming the only remaining civilized society among the surrounding cities after the apocalypse. Here, there was rule of law, discipline, and semi-militarized management. Those evil forces would not dare to enter, remaining outside and acting tyrannically.
So soon, the outside world will become a hell on earth.
It was no less impressive than what they had seen in Xiangcheng.
Therefore, by that time, there wouldn't be many prisons in the base. The most heinous crimes would be hanged directly, saving bullets! Those with less serious crimes would be sentenced to hard labor, and they would do all the hardest and most difficult work in the base.
There is another category, whose crimes are not punishable by death, but have reached a level that is condemned by both humans and gods, so they are directly driven out and left to fend for themselves.
Once these people get outside, they will die.
It is also possible that he will be caught by evil forces and slowly tortured to death!
Therefore, expulsion is actually a more severe punishment than hanging.
Countless criminals are unwilling to be kicked out.
But it wasn't time for that yet. Zhong Tiyun didn't know how terrible it would be to be kicked out of the base. After a moment's thought, she nodded, "If they keep coming to cause trouble for us, then that's the only way!"
"Come, have some meat."
Zhou Jianghai hurriedly picked up a piece of meat for Zhong Tiyun, who was in a bad mood.
Only then did Zhong Tiyun laugh at him.
The family knew nothing about Uncle Zhong's evil plan.
The next day, Zhang Jia took some time out to visit her and chatted for a while before she stammered out that Uncle Zhong and his men had found her again in the morning. She then cried about Zhong Tiyun's cruelty and asked Zhang Jia to borrow supplies, saying that there was no food left at home and everyone was so hungry that they couldn't even walk.
Zhang Jia, however, showed no mercy and gave him a few more compressed biscuits.
She is not a novice without any social experience. She is very familiar with the ways of the world, especially after the end of the world. She has seen the wickedness of human nature, so she also knows that she should not make close friends with Uncle Zhong's family.
But she cared too much about her friendship with Zhou Shuwan. Without him, she might have died a year ago.
Therefore, she didn't want to make Zhou Shuwan feel uncomfortable because of a few supplies, so she chose to give him some supplies.
It’s not much, but it can fill the other person’s stomach more or less.
But after he left, she thought for a long time and felt that Uncle Zhong's family was so shameless that they might not just come to borrow her supplies. They would definitely ask around at the base to find out who the Zhou family was close to. Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu both had some power at the base, especially Qi Mingyu, who was in charge of the security team and the construction of the shelter. There were many people who wanted to curry favor with him.
What if someone doesn't know right from wrong and directly chooses to curry favor with Uncle Zhong? Wouldn't that ruin the reputation of Zhou Shuwan and the others?
So she came to tell him.
Zhou Shuwan was so angry that his face turned blue. He thanked Zhang Jia solemnly and wanted to return all the compressed biscuits that the other party had given him.
