Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 032 My dearest child, my dearest child!
"Then I'll tell him."
After Zhu Zhengqi's father made an appointment to have lunch at noon, Jing's father took the family to the drug wholesale center to get their medical insurance cards.
Jingshu explained that she was delayed buying medicine last month because her uncle and aunt's families were visiting. She later mentioned this matter, saying that she was bringing medicine to a neighbor in the countryside and that she was short of money at the time, so she withdrew the money from her medical insurance card. Jing's father also said that he would deliver it to the neighbor in the countryside as soon as possible. As a result, Jingshu is no longer short of money because of this delay...
"Anyway, get the medicine to your aunts and uncles as soon as possible. You're such a spendthrift, buying so much of everything... you're really shortchanged. Look at how much clothes you bought on Singles' Day! Are you planning on eating them?"
Jing's mother has had a terrible headache recently. In the past, her daughter was like a piece of mud that couldn't be helped up the wall, and she was worried; recently, her daughter has been stuck to the wall and won't come down, and she is also worried.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my daughter. She likes to buy things for every room and doesn’t treat money as money at all. She won’t stop until she spends all the money.
I thought the shopping spree would end after Double Eleven, but during the days of Double Twelve, dozens of packages were delivered to the door every day. Jingshu bought all the underwear, outerwear, down jackets, and cotton trousers and cotton coats that could keep out the cold -4 for the whole family.
Jing's mother asked Jingshu at that time: "Why, you want to take your whole family, the elderly, the weak and the disabled, to travel around Russia, so you bought such thick clothes?"
"Isn't that buy one get one free? Rich second-generations should have a house full of nice clothes. Someone said the other day the cloakroom was empty. It was obvious they were a fake rich second-generation."
Jing's mother: "..."
"My own daughter, my own daughter!" Jing's mother repeated it three times in her heart, and when she looked at her daughter again, she really looked much more pleasing to the eye.
The money on the medical insurance card was all used up, and Jingshu was satisfied that she had made up for a regret in her previous life.
Seeing that there was still some time left, the family went to buy a lot of simulated solar lamps. Many people came to buy the lamps, and the science and technology channel also reported on this kind of lamps every day, encouraging citizens to grow crops and use lamps. Now the price of this lamp has increased by 30%.
Jingshu quietly ordered 10 more sets of U's bacterial solar energy system. Sure enough, the price had gone up 20%! They also released new small, handheld models and medium-sized, portable models. Jingshu ordered 20 of each, spending a total of 250,000 yuan. She'll have them delivered tomorrow when Jingma gets back to work.
Now I have to hide from Jing's mother when buying anything, but I don't let them know what I bought. How am I going to explain it when the end of the world comes? I have to make up thousands of lies just to cover up one lie.
The mall's freezers are sold out. Their cheap, spacious capacity makes them perfect for a few days of darkness. The only remaining items are commercial refrigerators, and they're being snapped up by the herd. Everyone wants to stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables and other short-lived foods before darkness arrives; a single refrigerator at home simply isn't enough.
It has to be said that everyone was well prepared at the beginning of the apocalypse, but unfortunately electricity restrictions began within a month. Half a year later, the daily power supply time was shortened to 2 hours, causing many people to die from the heat; a year later, it was shortened to half an hour.
Jingshu sighed and went to the banquet with her father. Jing's mother drove with the old couple to get bean sprouts, leek seedlings, garland chrysanthemum seedlings, lettuce seedlings, spinach seedlings, and garlic seedlings. These can be grown without sunlight.
The country is now distributing it for free. Everyone can use facial recognition to get it and take it home to grow it themselves, reducing burdens and unnecessary expenses. After all, indoor vegetables and vegetables grown under light will be costly and expensive, and vegetable prices will definitely rise if supply exceeds demand.
…
The dimly lit room was filled with the smell of alcohol. When Jing's father dragged Jing Shu over, a bald man with a potbelly came up to them, revealing a smile uglier than crying: "Brother, Jing, Jing... Jing Shu is here, please take a seat!"
Jingshu prepared a kitchen knife in the space, ready for action at any time.
Zhu Zhengqi, who was full of vigor and good looks more than a month ago, is now extremely thin. He is huddled in the corner of the box, drinking beer and checking the comments about him on his mobile phone.
He burst into tears, shook his head in denial, and flipped through the comments one by one like a possessed man. When he saw Jing's father and Jing Shu coming, he looked up with hatred and roared, "You are satisfied, you are satisfied with everything, is this the result you want? Why are you so...
"Why didn't you tell me about your ability earlier? Why..."
Jing's father subconsciously blocked Jing Shu behind him, "Old Zhu, what's going on?"
"These are just children's little things, Jingshu. Zhu Zhengqi came here to beg you to spare him and stop what's happening in Hebei. He has depression and takes narcotics every time he gets sick. Too much of that stuff can kill you. Jingshu, please save him!"
"He really couldn't stand those comments anymore! Every day people called him, sent him messages, and insulted him on his social media. He almost committed suicide several times!"
Jing Shu sneered, "If he can't stand it, then I can, right? Besides, can't he hire hundreds of thousands of trolls? Let him hire them to whitewash it."
The corner of Lao Zhu's mouth twitched. "It's useless no matter how many trolls I hire. Jingshu, how can I forgive him?"
Jing Shu snorted, "First, make him issue an apology. Apologize for everything he's done over the years, including the slander he's done and the trolls he's hired. Second, when asking for forgiveness, you should act like you're asking for forgiveness."
Old Zhu pulled Zhu Zhengqi over and slapped him hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "It's all okay. Come on, ask Jingshu to forgive you."
"Dad!" Zhu Zhengqi was extremely reluctant.
"Hurry up!" Old Zhu hit Zhu Zhengqi hard again.
Zhu Zhengqi gritted his teeth and looked up, staring at Jingshu with red eyes. After a long while, he squeezed out a few words hoarsely: "Jingshu, please, forgive me."
"I can't hear clearly." Jingshu pursed her lips, and her eyes looked quite different.
Sure enough, when Zhu Zhengqi said this, his eyes were like spitting fire. He could no longer suppress his hatred and stared at Jingshu fiercely. After being beaten by his father, he shouted loudly: "Jingshu, please forgive me!"
"Okay. You have a good eye, I like it very much. By the way, remember not to do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Jingshu raised the corners of her mouth. She liked the way her enemies looked at her helplessly. It was so beautiful.
Jingshu once wondered if she was a villain, as she only did things that villains liked to do.
Naturally, they didn't have lunch. Jing's father kept silent and didn't ask what had happened until they separated, and how she had bullied Zhu Zhengqi.
"How could it be that I bullied him? It was obviously him who bullied me." Jingshu blinked.
"Looking at how miserable he looks, it's unlikely." Jing's father shook his head, his eyes dimming. "Forget it. I don't want to have anything to do with anyone from my former company anymore."
