In her past life, Xia Shige was the real heiress who had been taken back by the wealthy Lu family. During the apocalypse, she worked hard and earnestly to take care of the entire family.
Unfo...
Although Lu Siming found a job, he was not as happy as the other people in the Lu family.
He went from being an admired and glorious heir to a family business to a laborer who had to fiddle with people's faces. One can imagine the gap in his heart.
But Lu Siming knew that he had no other choice now, not to mention that if he didn't do the work, Xu Yilan would keep asking Lu Sixue for money. Lu Sixue had called him several times recently, crying and complaining about her difficulties, and he felt very distressed after hearing that.
What Lu Siming least wanted to see was Lu Sixue being in trouble. That was his little sister whom he had cherished for many years. He could only serve Zhou for the time being, bide his time and wait for the future.

"Ms. Xia, the surveillance has been reinstalled. Don't worry, I have added protective devices. Unless they climb up over the electric fence on your wall, they will definitely not be able to destroy it!" said the installation master while wiping his sweat.
Xia Shige felt very satisfied after acceptance. He said that the craftsman had excellent skills and the steel plate protected the monitoring equipment firmly.
Xia Shige paid him the bill and said, "Thank you, Master. It's hard for you to come here in such hot weather."
"No way! Thank you for taking care of my business!" The decorator replied with a smile. He was very happy to receive this order from Xia Shige. With the extra income, he could buy more rice and flour.
His wife and children at home are not used to eating sand vine cakes, but the prices of rice and flour keep rising, and he can hardly bear the lack of income.
Although the roads are in chaos now, he doesn't have many orders for installing surveillance cameras. After all, there are home robberies and highway robberies everywhere, many people are missing every day, and corpses are found on the roadside every day. Police resources are seriously insufficient.
In this kind of home robbery, it would be good if the robber could be caught on the spot. If the robber escapes, it would be difficult to find him.
So it’s useless to have surveillance cameras. It’s better to save the money for installing surveillance cameras and buy more rice and flour.
Xia Shige remembered that the surveillance cameras around Jingjing Supermarket were also damaged by the gang of robbers yesterday, so he took his master to the supermarket again and asked the master to install all the surveillance cameras around the supermarket.
Seeing Xia Shige coming over, Lin Jingjing quickly ran over to grab her and said, "Shige! I finally see you again! You don't know how chaotic it was here yesterday. I was packing rice for the guests when a security guard came over and said that a group of gangsters drove a truck and forced their way through the checkpoint!"
"The security guard took me, my father and my brother and kept running. We ran to the property center and hid there. It is said that the robbers came here less than two minutes after we left the supermarket and took two owners hostage! They even had guns with them. This is too outrageous. We are one of the countries with the strictest gun bans!"
Lin Jingjing described her experience last night to Xia Shige with some fear. She didn't know that Xia Shige had experienced more than her last night.
In order to protect Xia Shige's safety, Officers Zheng and Tan told the security guards present to keep what happened last night confidential and not to reveal that Xia Shige had killed two robbers. So Lin Jingjing didn't know that Xia Shige was at the center of the storm last night.
Xia Shige asked worriedly, "So you and Uncle Lin and Brother Lin are not together, right?"
Lin Jingjing shook her head and replied, "We have been hiding in the office on the second floor of the property center. I have a knife in my hand, thinking that if any robbers break in, I will do my best to fight them one-on-one, so that I won't lose money. Even if I can't kill them, I will poke out one of their eyes. Anyway, I must not die in vain!"
"Later, the security guards came to inform us that the criminals had been arrested, so we came out. It is said that they hacked and injured several owners who did not have time to run home. One of them died this morning due to excessive bleeding and wound infection."
Xia Shige's mood suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but feel sad for the victim. He had worked hard to withstand the natural disaster for so long, but he couldn't escape the man-made disaster.
Lin Jingjing sighed and continued, "My dad was scared by what happened yesterday. He and my brother won't let me stay in the supermarket at night. They're afraid of another accident. But if I'm left alone at home, I won't be able to leave them alone. If something happens to them, will I be able to survive on my own? What's the point? We argued about this all night yesterday, and no one could convince the other. "
At this time, Officer Tan Zhen came in. He listened to the conversation between the two and comforted them, saying, "In order to prevent such vicious incidents of armed gangs breaking into residential areas, a notice has just been issued requiring the police station to work with the armed police and the army to take turns to conduct irregular patrols in various residential areas. If they encounter any lawbreakers, they will be executed on the spot."
After Officer Tan Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Shige and added, "Of course, you girls still have to pay attention to your safety. If you encounter any danger, hide behind someone."
Lin Jingjing frowned and said, "Officer Tan, when faced with this kind of armed robber, would you turn around and avoid him just because he's a man? In times of danger, there is no distinction between men and women."
"Besides, we also had 100,000 female soldiers during the War of Resistance. Although they later responded to the country's call and returned to their families to take care of their families, their contributions will always exist and their thoughts cannot be forgotten. Of course, we must inherit the will of our ancestors!"
"The more dangerous it is, the more I will stand with my family instead of just hiding behind them! We have to unite and not fight alone like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather. Otherwise, we will be defeated one by one. Officer Tan, am I right?"
Officer Tan was a little amused when he heard this. What about Calabash Brothers saving Grandpa? Why did the little girl talk in such a roundabout way? He was about to refute, but then he thought of the day when Xia Shige sneaked into the warehouse alone and killed two robbers. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these little girls were indeed much braver than he thought.
Xia Shige was silently pondering whether he should leave a medium-sized crossbow for the Lin family, just in case.
