Women are completely ignored, ignored, ignored! ! ! ! !

Xiao Yi slowly walked out of the house with Yu Wei, carrying a large backpack on his shoulders. Tucked into the pockets of the backpack were some things for Yu Wei's grandfather: a pack of his treasured tobacco leaves and two bags of soy milk powder. He had carefully selected these, hoping to let the old man taste them.

The two also visited the supply exchange, a place devoid of its former bustle. The once bustling trading hall was now deserted, save for a few people busily exchanging supplies. Each person clutched a bag, their heads bowed in silence, clutching their exchanged items tightly to their chests, ever vigilant of those around them. Even the supplies above had tripled in price.

Noodles that used to cost two contribution points a pack now cost four. The price of luncheon meat was even more exaggerated, having tripled. A small box now cost 10 contribution points. Even the guards who were better paid couldn't afford a box in two days. The prices made even the wealthy Xiao Yi gasp in amazement. Xiao Yi bought 30 boxes of luncheon meat in one go. He also bought 100 kilograms of flour and 40 packs of noodles. The things on the counter were not enough. He asked them to get them from the warehouse.

Contribution points were spent like water, but Xiao Yi didn't feel anything.

If that doesn't work, go out and kill some more mutant animals. Xiao Yi really didn't take this seriously. But when the people around him saw Xiao Yi, their eyes were indeed filled with greed. It wasn't until Xiao Yi showed the gun on his waist that the people around him stopped looking at the two of them openly or covertly.

This atmosphere made Yu Wei keenly feel a hint of tension. They quickly exchanged the necessary supplies and left the place.

When they were leaving, they saw a man secretly observing them in the corner, with a hint of vigilance and doubt in his eyes, which made them feel even more uneasy.

On the way back, Xiao Yi and Yu Wei didn't speak the whole time. They understood that the world was undergoing tremendous changes, and everyone was trying to adapt. They also had to try to adapt to these changes, while also paying attention to protecting themselves and their families.

So, carrying a large bag of things, they did not go directly to find Yu Wei's grandfather. Instead, they returned to Xiao Yi's house first. After a while, the two stuffed almost all the things into the bag. Xiao Yi carried it on his back and went out again.

At the Yu family's doorstep, Yu Wei felt a bit nervous. She knew she was about to face her second uncle and second aunt, two people who had caused her so much trouble and pain. Their behavior always made her feel uneasy and afraid.

Xiao Yi noticed Yu Wei's emotions and gently held her hand, hoping to give her some strength and courage in this way. His hand was warm and firm, and Yu Wei felt a sense of stability in her heart.

Yu Wei's second uncle and second aunt have been unable to find Yu Wei. They are constantly harassing Old Man Yu, trying to get more money and resources from him. Yu Wei knows that their harassment of Old Man Yu has reached an unbearable level, which has always been her worry.

She felt mixed emotions, with both worry and concern for the old man, and confusion and uneasiness about the future of herself and Xiao Yi. She knew that they were about to face a difficult challenge, but she also understood that only by facing it bravely could they win the final victory.

At the door, Yu Wei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that she and Xiao Yi needed to face the next challenge together. No matter what, she would never let her second uncle and second aunt hurt her or the people around them again.

After knocking on the door, there was no movement from inside. Yu Wei simply took out the key, opened the door and walked in. The temperature in the house was not very high, even a little cold. When the two pushed open the bedroom door, they saw that old man Yu Zhongxian was covered with several thick quilts at this time, and his condition was not very good. Although the electric blanket can provide some heat. But in order to avoid his disappointing son and daughter-in-law, the old man has tried his best to pretend that no one is in the house. The old man is old. He must not be able to bear such cold weather. Yu Wei helped his grandfather up distressedly, quickly went to boil water, boiled a large pot of hot water for the old man, and brewed a cup of soy milk powder. After the old man drank a few sips, he felt much better.

Xiao Yi is a man after all, and he doesn't think about things in such a meticulous and detailed way. Xiao Yi didn't expect the situation of Mr. Yu.

Yu Wei looked at Xiao Yi for help. Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, pack up your things and let grandpa live in your dormitory first. Then take a look at your dormitory building to see if there are any slightly larger apartments. I can rent them in my name. I won't be back usually, so is it okay for you to stay there?"

Yu Wei naturally had no objection when she heard Xiao Yi's solution. She knew that Xiao Yi was truly thinking about her, and he had also proposed a very good solution. However, she was worried that it would be inconvenient for Ye Ming's mother to go there after her grandfather passed away.

Xiao Yi comforted him, "It's okay, just communicate with Ye Ming. I believe he can understand our situation and will help us solve the difficulties."

Mr. Yu didn't want to go at first, thinking it was too much trouble. But he couldn't resist Yu Wei's tears, and seeing how worried and eager she was for his company, he couldn't bear to refuse.

So, they started to put on their clothes and pack up the things they needed to take. Old Man Yu also prepared the things he wanted to take. Including the things Xiao Yi sent last time. Xiao Yi put them into the space while they were not paying attention. Because when they got to Yu Wei, they would not be able to use these things.
