Chapter 57 Meng Wanqing
He returned to the villa empty-handed, but was in a good mood.
If we can successfully acquire harvesters, fully mechanized production will be just around the corner.
Lately, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction, except for the appearance of some unpleasant people.
Yu Miaomiao is very satisfied with the current situation. Compared with her previous life, she lives a more carefree, free, and independent life in this life.
Meng Wanqing recovered quickly and is now almost able to stand for short periods of time.
Because the wound is on the leg, it will take some time to recover. It's already a miracle that he survived after such a brush with death.
Seeing the little girl skipping and hopping back from outside, excitedly sharing her experiences with him.
"There's an uncle in the market who has a really big car with lots of food on it. Aunt Meng, I wish we had a car like that too."
A tender light shone in Meng Wanqing's eyes; she truly treated Xu Nanwei like her own child.
More than half a month before the apocalypse, Meng Wanqing found out she was pregnant. In the end, the child could not withstand the natural disaster and left her. Her husband went out to seek help but disappeared.
Her health deteriorated rapidly, and she had lost the will to live. It was Xu Nanwei who accompanied her through countless difficult nights.
Seeing that Xiao Nanwei now has her own team and a captain who cares for her, Meng Wanqing felt it was time for her to leave.
She can't live in someone else's house forever and enjoy it all without a care in the world.
Now that the villa area is full, it's not as deserted as it used to be.
The neighbors began to probe each other's situations, and the person living in the building opposite Yu Miaomiao even invited everyone in the community to their home.
Yu Miaomiao was half asleep when someone from the building across the street knocked on her door to inform her of the matter. She replied, "No need."
He closed the door, went back to bed, and continued sleeping in one smooth motion.
He completely forgot that someone had come looking for him.
In situations where there are many people, there are bound to be trouble. If you can avoid getting involved, then of course you should. Why would you want to be the target of a bullet?
To truly live a life of leisure means to be indifferent to worldly affairs and to regard everything as nothing.
Sleeping is the real priority.
The next day, the neighbor across the street knocked on the door again. This time, it wasn't an invitation to visit, but rather a formal visit.
However, this time it was Lu An who opened the door. Her eyes were sharp, and she looked like she was keeping people at arm's length. Before she could say more than a few words, she directly turned away the visitors from the building across the street.
Xu Nanwei and Meng Wanqing were so bothered that they simply claimed to be sick and that it was contagious, and then stopped opening the door.
These neighbors, who have nothing to do all day, don't need to sell their physical labor to build the base, nor do they have any special abilities or need to take on missions.
It is said that as long as you donate a large amount of supplies to the base in one go, your whole family can move in without any restrictions or requirements.
The neighbor across the street was just like that; the head of the household was none other than Ni Chongyang, a famous real estate tycoon before the apocalypse.
Speaking of which, Yu Miaomiao had met this person once before.
Having lived in the post-apocalyptic world for so long, Yu Miaomiao had almost forgotten what she used to do.
When she was a live streamer, she participated in a real estate auction live stream and met this boss back then.
She wondered if the important person had a bad memory, but she didn't want to be remembered.
The more someone understands you, the more likely they are to deliver a fatal blow when they become your enemy.
late at night.
"Sister, sister, are you there?"
Upon hearing the commotion, Ma Jiang quickly went upstairs and woke up Yu Miaomiao and Lu An.
The little girl's voice sounded very urgent.
Yu Miaomiao used her spiritual power to probe outside the door and found that Xu Nanwei was alone.
With more people moving into the villa area, there have been some strange people loitering outside these days, so she and Lu An have to be careful.
As soon as the door opened, the little girl threw herself into Yu Miaomiao's arms, tears and snot mingling together and freezing on her face.
"Sister, waaaaah... Aunt Meng seems to have run away from home. She left me a letter, but I don't recognize a lot of the words... Waaaaah. What should I do?"
The little girl explained to Yu Miaomiao and Lu An intermittently while sobbing.
The underground city will lose power for eight hours at night, leaving the area outside the villa pitch black and eerie.
Yu Miaomiao led the little girl into the living room and wiped her face clean with wet wipes.
Lu Anze stood to the side and opened the letter to read it.
"Seeing this letter is like meeting you in person."
Please forgive me for not being able to say thank you and goodbye to you in person; I didn't know how to face you.
I had long since lost the will to live, but I am grateful to have been saved. I think that since I am alive, I should live well.
We can't keep eating, drinking, and living here for free; the more we owe, the more we'll owe, and the harder it will be to pay it back.
So I left without saying goodbye.
Although it may be presumptuous of me, I would like to ask you to take care of Nanwei.
The next time we meet, it will be when I come to repay your kindness.
Each of us goes on our own journey; take care.
Meng Wanqing
She was quite carefree, leaving without a word, leaving Yu Miaomiao to clean up the mess left behind by a crying cat.
What a terrible thing!
Xu Nanwei held onto Yu Miaomiao tightly with one hand and Lu An tightly with the other, afraid that if she let go, the two of them would also leave behind a letter that she couldn't even recognize.
After sobbing for a while, the little girl's voice grew softer and softer. She slumped down and fell asleep against Lu An, tears still welling in her eyes. What remained unchanged was that she clung tightly to the two of them.
Alright, goodbye to good dreams tonight.
The two of them simply lay down on the sofa together, took out their laptops, and watched a comedy movie with great interest. They kept the volume very low, and the little girl, who was fast asleep, was not disturbed at all. Instead, she started snoring softly in the background noise.
After Meng Wanqing left, Yu Miaomiao and Lu An couldn't bear to leave Xu Nanwei alone in the house next door.
Seven or eight-year-old children are at a time when they are clingy and desperately need love. Every night, Xu Nanwei would come over with a pillow and knock on the door, asking to sleep together.
So they simply vacated the first floor of the villa where they lived for her to live.
There was originally only one room on the first floor, which was intended to be the bedroom for the three little ones. However, the three little ones didn't like sleeping in the room and would instead lie directly on the sofa in the living room.
Sesame paste, in particular, is excellent at everything from guarding the house to protecting the property.
She's busy every day worrying about this family.
Without Meng Wanqing by her side, the young girl was depressed for half a day.
However, after experiencing so many separations and losses, she gradually learned to console herself.
In addition, Lu An took her to the small courtyard to harvest, plant, water, and fertilize vegetables. Children are always happy when they play in the mud.
The little girl's attention was quickly diverted.
The neighbors across the street stopped insisting on coming to their door to inquire about their situation.
"Dad, are you still worried about what happened next door? They're just two lucky girls who got to live in the underground villa because their luck turned around. Is it really necessary for you to worry about them like this?"
Ni Youyuan, the second young master of the Ni family, sat in front of Ni Chongyang, skillfully warming the cup, rinsing the tea, brewing the tea, and pouring it for Ni Chongyang.
"You don't know anything. That girl named Yu Miaomiao is a space-type, and the other is a water-type. Now that you're living a life of plenty, have you forgotten how you were trapped in a hotel and almost died of thirst and hunger a few days after the natural disaster?"
Ni Chongyang slammed the cup down on the table. He had already thoroughly investigated the situation across the street and wanted to win them over, but they just wouldn't take the bait. However, he was determined to get these two under his control no matter what.
Before she knew it, the day of her transaction with He Yusen arrived. Yu Miaomiao took out a box of small umbrellas from her spatial storage, opened it, and saw that they were all small sizes.
But as long as it works, that's fine.
I counted them and there were exactly 100 inside, so I put them back into my storage space.
With his hands in his pockets and a baseball cap on his head, he was traveling light.
Before she even reached the door, Xu Nanwei grabbed her leg.
"You're not thinking of running away too, are you?"
