I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 317 Old Mrs. Yu

Su Tao never expected that Minister Xu would make the decision for them.

She and Qian Lin found the address Minister Xu left for them, but they didn't expect it to be so remote that it took them two hours to drive there by dark.

Qian Lin got off the car and looked at her watch. It was already ten o'clock. She hesitated:

"Isn't it too late and a bit disturbing?"

Su Tao said, "Let's wait and see. After all, we're already here. If Ma Dapao can't fix the generator, our sales tomorrow will be greatly reduced."

The two walked for a short distance where cars could not pass, and sure enough, they saw two small bungalows with lights on.

Qian Lin was very happy: "The light is on, which means he is not resting. I will go knock on the door."

The person who opened the door was a young man, about twenty years old, tall and thin, with regular features. He was a handsome guy at first glance, but a red birthmark on his right cheek immediately reduced his appearance by half, and he looked a bit scary at night.

Qian Lin calmed down, without showing any strange expression, and was very polite:

"Hello, we are here because Minister Xu Chang introduced us. We would like to buy a generator from Grandma Yu."

Su Tao also smiled and greeted the young man: "Hello, sorry to bother you so late, is it convenient for Grandma Yu?"

The young man nodded indifferently, and as he stepped aside to let them into the house, his eyes fell on the black bracelet on Su Tao's wrist, and his indifferent expression relaxed slightly.

He called into the house, "Grandma, Uncle Xu's guest."

A hoarse and somewhat demanding old man's voice came from inside: "Busy! Wait a moment!"

Su Tao began to understand what Minister Xu said about Grandma Yu's temper, so she sat down obediently and waited patiently.

Unexpectedly, just a few seconds after she sat down, the sofa under her butt started moving by itself, scaring her so much that she stood up on the spot.

Qian Lin hadn't sat down yet. Seeing her movement, he kept sitting down and stopped in mid-air, not daring to move.

The young man said calmly, "This is a homemade massage sofa made by my grandma. It won't eat you. Sit down."

Su Tao and the other person sat down with awkward smiles.

But you know what, the massage was quite comfortable.

The coffee table in front of you is also very interesting. As long as you stretch out your hand, it will automatically rise to the same level as your hand, so you will never have to bend over or fail to reach it.

Su Tao didn't expect that the small bungalow was full of homemade smart home appliances. Apart from not being very beautiful, they were better than those in home improvement stores.

This Grandma Yu is so powerful.

The young man briefly introduced himself:

"My last name is Yu, you can just call me Xiao Yu. We've used up all the water at home today, so I won't be pouring any more water for you. Please bear with me if you're thirsty."

Su Tao couldn't help but ask: "You live in such a remote place, where do you get water?"

This place is almost at the border of Xindu, and there are no water or electricity pipelines at all.

Xiao Yu looked at her doubtfully: "Don't you know? Didn't the person who gave you the bracelet tell you?"

Su Tao: ???

There are so many things she doesn't know about recently.

Xiao Yu knew from her expression that she didn't understand, so he said:

"You must know Shi Zijin, right? He took a water-type psychic's crystal core as payment and asked my grandma to make him this bracelet. My grandma made this water-type psychic's crystal core into a water reservoir. If we use it sparingly, it will last us a year. Today's quota has been reached."

The amount of information is a bit overwhelming.

It turns out that this bracelet was made by Shi Zijin and Grandma Yu. No wonder Minister Xu recognized it at a glance.

Also, in the case of extreme water shortage, the value of a water-type mutant crystal core is far higher than any other crystal core.

Shi Zijin’s reward was not low.

Her heart couldn't help but soften.

Finally, Su Tao also captured a key piece of information that Grandma Yu could make the most efficient use of the crystal cores of the mutants.

Instead of being consumed in three days.

This ability is so powerful.

She couldn't help but look towards Grandma Yu's room, her eyes almost glowing green.

When Xiao Yu talked about Shi Zijin, his tone was five points less cold, and he said to Su Tao:

"Thanks to his water-type psychic core, otherwise we wouldn't be able to move here."

Qian Lin couldn't understand: "This place is so remote, why did you move here?"

At this moment, Granny Yu suddenly came out of the room, slammed the door shut, and snorted coldly:

"You don't need to worry about where we live. Tell me, what did Xu Chang ask you to buy? I owe him a favor, so I won't take the money. Just take the things and leave quickly."

Xiao Yu reminded her, "Grandma, they are also Shi Zijin's people."

Granny Yu's attitude improved a little, but not much better, and she was still serious.

Su Tao looked at the old woman in front of her. Her white hair was combed meticulously, and her clothes, although old, were very clean and tidy.

Only one pair of hands, each missing a finger

Granny Yu looked at her with drooping eyelids.

Su Tao immediately retracted her gaze and said honestly, "We want to buy a generator that's small and easy to carry."

Qian Lin has turned into a quail.

Grandma Yu said nothing, turned around and rummaged through the room, then threw a metal block the size of a Rubik's Cube to Su Tao.

Su Tao took it with a confused look on her face, looking at her blankly, waiting for verbal instructions.

She didn't dare count on the paper instructions.

Grandma Yu spoke quickly: "I'll only tell you once. Find the darkest side and press the middle button. It will unfold into a 2*2 solar panel. Place it in the sun to store energy. When it's ready, recycle it. Then, find the brightest side."

She spoke for a long time.

Su Tao finally concluded that this thing can store solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, or it can be directly inserted into an ordinary crystal core to convert the energy inside into electrical energy for use.

Strong

After saying this, Granny Yu drove the guest away: "Hurry up and leave. I'm going to sleep."

Xiao Yu came out to see them off.

Su Tao felt that young people were easier to communicate with, so she asked Xiao Yu:

"Are you and Grandma Yu living here to hide from others?"

Out of trust in Xu Chang and Shi Zijin, Xiao Yu didn't have much guard against them, so she nodded and said:

"Otherwise, those people would have trampled down the threshold of my house. My grandma doesn't want to take on too many things."

Su Tao thought about it, but looking at the surrounding wilderness, she couldn't help but worry:

"Drinking is fine, what are you eating?"

Xiao Yu said that he would regularly go to the market to buy a lot of artificial cakes and soak them in water to drink, which would be enough to fill him up.

The grandmother and grandson didn't have much savings. The reason was simple: Grandma Yu refused to make things for money, otherwise anyone could use benefits to blackmail her.

Su Tao looked Xiao Yu up and down and thought, no wonder he is so thin, poor child.

Grandma Yu is also thin, a poor old lady.

So she couldn't help but took out two large bags of food and drinks from Fang Zhi's space and stuffed them into Xiao Yu's pockets:

"Don't refuse. I'm already embarrassed that Granny Yu confiscated our money. This little thing is not worth much. Just take it and don't just eat dry biscuits soaked in water. It's too unnutritious."
