Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 159: Money Moves People's Hearts

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan walked along the back of Qingning Mountain for more than an hour before they found a way down the mountain.

This road is very hidden. At the end is a small dirt slope more than three meters high and with a slope of nearly 60 degrees. Usually, almost no one comes here.

Shen Yanming heard Chen Shunwei say this when he was chatting with him on the day of land division.

Before going out this time, Bi Qiaoan changed into a large bag, which contained clothes, cosmetics, a safety rope, and the small schoolbag.

Shen Yanming took out the safety rope from Bi Qiaoan's bag and wrapped it around the tree, then took out the small schoolbag and put it on his back. After hiding Bi Qiaoan's bag on the tree, he slowly lowered it along the small slope and then met Bi Qiaoan below.

After the two landed safely, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan walked for half an hour before reaching the main road.

At this time, Shen Yanming had become a second-rate guy with curly hair on his head, wearing a floral shirt, frog-eye glasses, a big gold chain around his neck, and walking with his feet turned outward.

Bi Qiaoan wore a white silk shirt, an ankle-length floral skirt, a long straight black wig, and thick bangs on her forehead.

She wore a pair of plain glasses on her nose, a mole was dotted under the right corner of her mouth, her skin color was darkened two degrees with makeup, she had two pearl earrings on her ears, a sapphire ring on the middle finger of her left hand, and a small schoolbag on her shoulder.

The two men looked wealthy and hailed a taxi. When they arrived at the square near Zhang Chenjun's residential area, Shen Yanming directly took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and walked in with Bi Qiaoan in his arms without waiting for the change.

By this time, it was already late at night, and the two found a bench in the square and sat down.

Many people came out late at night to digest their food. Children were running and jumping under the street lights, parents were watching and chatting on the side, and a group of elderly people were dancing to the music.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan just watched the children playing quietly, occasionally putting their heads together to chat. Although they did nothing, they were particularly eye-catching.

Why? Because they both have the temperament of nouveau riche!

Shen Yanming was holding a small schoolbag in a ruffian manner. The contrast between this second-rate guy and the good father made the young mothers around him couldn't help but cast curious glances at him.

When a little boy of five or six years old got tired of playing and rushed into the arms of a young lady, Bi Qiaoan felt that his chance had come.

Bi Qiaoan waited for the young mother to wipe the sweat off the little boy's forehead before stepping forward and saying, "Sister, how old is your baby? He looks so cute!"

Seeing Bi Qiaoan's gentle features, Xixi's mother smiled and said to Bi Qiaoan, "You are six years old now, and you are so naughty!"

Bi Qiaoan touched the little boy's head and said, "Being naughty is smart. What's your name, little cutie?"

The little boy was very happy to be praised by Bi Qiaoan, "Thank you, Auntie. My name is Xixi."

Bi Qiaoan nodded and said directly to Xixi's mother without beating around the bush: "Sister, I have something I would like to ask you and your baby for a favor."

It would have been better if Bi Qiaoan hadn't said this. As soon as he said it, Xixi's mother immediately became alert. She protected her own child behind her and looked at Bi Qiaoan as if she was a human trafficker.

Bi Qiaoan was not surprised and took the small schoolbag from Shen Yanming with a smile.

"It's like this, one of my little sisters has been sulking with me lately, not answering my calls or replying my text messages, and I can't apologize to her even though I want to.

So, I would like to ask your baby to help me deliver the gift to my little sister. This small schoolbag is my reward to your baby. Is this okay with you?"

Xixi's mother is also a connoisseur of goods. She knew at a glance that this small schoolbag was a high-end product. "Your schoolbag is not cheap. Is it necessary to spend so much money just to apologize?"

"Well, I'm not short of money, I just don't want to continue the cold war with my little sister."

"Then why don't you go and deliver the gift yourself? Wouldn't it be more sincere if you go yourself?" Xixi's mother still didn't believe it. There is no free lunch in this world.

Bi Qiaoan sighed, "How could I not have tried it? My little sister has a bad temper. When she heard that it was a gift from me, she threw it away without even looking at it. I had no choice but to ask someone for help.

If you are willing, you can help me deliver it. It is not necessary for your baby to help, as long as the gift reaches her. "

Xixi's mother was somewhat tempted, but still worried and asked, "Don't you have other friends to help you, or your family can't help you?"

"Sister, my friends are ignoring me."

Under Xixi's mother's puzzled gaze, Bi Qiaoan slowly told her story, "My parents died early, and it was my sisters who helped me complete my studies over the years. Later, I met my husband, him."

Bi Qiaoan pointed at Shen Yanming, “You’ve also seen that he looks like a little gangster. His family is rich, but he didn’t go to school much. My little sister ignored me after she knew that I married him, saying that I was ruining myself.

But my husband is really good to me. He is willing to spend money on me and give me food and drink. After knowing that my sister was angry, he accompanied me to ease the relationship. This is the third time we have come here. "

Xixi's mother nodded, "Where are you going?"

"It's in the Changyue Villa District, just a few minutes away from here."

Xixi's mother thought that there were surveillance cameras all the way to Changyue Villa District, and there were many pedestrians on the road at this time, so there shouldn't be any problems. She nodded and said, "Okay, baby and I will go with you."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Bi Qiaoan said happily.

So, several people walked towards the Changyue Villa District together. When they saw the gate of the Changyue Villa District from a distance, Bi Qiaoan handed the small schoolbag to Xixi.

"Xixi, the gift box inside is for Zhang Chenjun in Villa No. 9. Remember that?"

Xixi nodded and let her mother hold her hand. Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming looked at each other and walked in another direction, while Shen Yanming followed two meters behind Xixi and Xixi's mother.

When they were about 10 to 20 meters away from the gate of the villa, Shen Yanming stopped. Xixi's mother took Xixi to the door of the security room, and after explaining clearly who the gift was for, she handed the gift box to the security guard.

Shen Yanming couldn't hear what was being said over there, he could only see the gift box being put away by the security guard.

Xixi and Xixi's mother walked back to Shen Yanming and explained, "The security guard wouldn't let us in, saying they would send someone to escort us."

After Shen Yanming thanked him, he separated from Xixi and went to find Bi Qiaoan.

Xixi was so happy that she almost flew up holding her new schoolbag. Xixi's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a human trafficker!

After Shen Yanming came over, Bi Qiaoan happily hugged his neck and said, "I am so awesome! They actually believed the lies I told!"

Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan's waist with amusement, "Rather than saying that they were deceived by you, it's better to say that money can attract people's attention!"
