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...

When Mei Xingxian came back and didn't see his father, he frowned and asked, "Where's my father?"

Tan Fangchun wiped her hands on her apron and said unhappily:

"You're asking as if I've lost the old man. He owed money, and the debt collectors came to his house. He couldn't pay, so they took him away."

Mei Xingxian's face changed. "Impossible! My father is not the kind of person who doesn't pay back his debts. He would rather die of starvation or illness than borrow a penny from others."

Tan Fangchun was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice again:

"I don't know. Don't blame me. If you don't believe me, ask the aunts next door. They all saw the old man being taken away in a jeep."

"Who is this person who comes to the door?"

"I didn't ask. The girl leading the group was very aggressive, and there was a woman with a gun next to her. I've never seen such a situation before."

Mei Xingxian was furious: "Do you have a pig brain? You only ask for money when collecting debts. Do you think you can take an old man back to take care of him in his old age? Those people you mentioned are all liars! Did I tell you to keep an eye on my father before I left? Is that what you think?"

Mei Xingxian grew increasingly angry as he spoke. "You know, Taoyang is looking for a planner right now? My dad's a planner! If this works out, we'll get three spots in Taoyang, and we won't have to live in this shabby ditch anymore! Someone must have known my dad had this talent and kidnapped him!"

Tan Fangchun opened his mouth wide: "What planner?"

She always thought her father-in-law was an art teacher who taught children to paint.

But it's the end of the world now. What's the point of knowing how to draw? It would be better to use more energy to do physical work at the base.

But what about the Taoyang admission quota?

Were those people who came a few days ago scammers?

Tan Fangchun was confused.

Mei Xingxian was too lazy to tell her that the wife he married only had an elementary school education before the apocalypse, and had no chance to receive any education after the apocalypse. Talking to her about planners was like talking to a cow.

He was so angry that he turned around in circles, and then hurried out to inquire about the whereabouts of the "swindler".

Su Tao slept until noon. She was hungry and was about to go out to find something to eat, but suddenly she saw the twins Zhou Hai and Zhou Yang coming back.

She asked happily, "Mission completed? Where's your captain?"

The twins remained as cold and aloof as ever, sparing their words and saying only two words: "No."

Not completed.

Shi Ziyue quickly came out to explain, "My brother hasn't come back yet. He just found a batch of supplies and asked Brother Zhou Hai and Zhou Yang to send them back first. Oh, and he also asked them to bring you a small gift, hehe."

She came up and took Su Tao's hand:

"They were supposed to arrive last night, wanting to surprise you, but you went straight to sleep. But it's okay, they're still very active here."

they?

Before Su Tao could react, she saw Zi Yue holding a little baby out from the sofa, and a faint cry of milk came from inside.

Oh my god.

Su Tao's voice trembled: "Is this a kitten?"

Su Tao had never seen a cat, and her impression of cats came entirely from the images, texts and pictures left before the end of the world.

The apocalyptic outbreak twenty years ago caused a large number of pets and stray animals to be infected or become food, causing their numbers to plummet. In just five years, they were almost gone.

Mankind’s best friend, the spiritual sustenance of the lonely, the furry and clingy furry children have completely disappeared from people’s lives.

"Are they cute? My brother said they were only three days old. Their mother gave birth to them in an abandoned tire and died that night. My brother heard their cries and took them out. He thought you usually stay at home alone and don't go out much, so he gave them to you to keep you company."

Su Tao felt a lump in her throat and took Xiaowo and held him in her arms.

There were two kittens, one black and one white, only the size of her palm. Their eyes were not open yet, their pink noses were rubbing everywhere, and they were meowing with their soft pink tongues sticking out.

Su Tao carefully stretched out a finger and touched their heads and bellies, which were soft and fragile.

Her heart melted.

"Thank you, brother, for me. I like you very, very much."

Shi Ziyue happily spun around in place: "I knew you would like it. Even Sister Pei likes it. She even tried to snatch one away, but my brother rejected her request on the spot."

Su Tao laughed out loud with red eyes, and Pei Dong's ugly face appeared in her mind.

"I can give her permission to touch it."

Shi Ziyue said, "Hurry up and take them to your room. When they arrived last night, the tenants went crazy. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have sucked the kitten to death."

Su Tao hugged Wo tightly, forgot to eat, turned around and went into the room.

She first checked on the Internet and found that it is best to feed newborn kittens with goat milk.

Su Tao scratched his head, opened the food store system and searched, and finally found goat milk in the self-service beverage machine.

So he immediately placed an order and bought two for only 1,600 federal coins.

The beverage machine not only has goat milk, but also cow milk, freshly squeezed juice, etc. The average price is only 20 federal coins per bottle, which is very affordable.

She planned to put one of them in the canteen at night and keep the other one in her room to provide food for the kitten.

Then she bought blankets, small pillows, etc. at a home improvement store and made two cat beds.

Then I bought a set of baby supplies at a daily necessities store and picked out the smallest bottle as a feeding device.

The above cost a total of 4,500 federal coins.

The two little guys were probably very hungry. As soon as Su Tao put the bottle close to them, Xiao Hei started to suck it madly.

Xiaobai was a little slow to react and rubbed anxiously twice before finding the pacifier.

Su Tao was very happy to see them eating and drinking their fill. She gave them names, one was called White Sesame and the other was called Black Sesame.

After the little ones fell asleep, Su Tao came out to have a simple meal, and then hurried to find Mr. Mei.

"Mr. Mei, I plan to start the work tonight."

Mei Hongyi thought she had found a construction team: "It's pretty fast, that's good."

"Also, I'm planning to spread the word about hiring planners. Otherwise, there will be too many applicants every day, and Zhuang Wan will be too busy to handle it. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise. The other three spots will be yours. Just tell Zhuang Wan directly when you've made up your mind."

Mei Hongyi sighed and laughed:

"I didn't expect I could still enjoy such happiness at my age. Thank you, Peach Girl. Also, I have one request. I hope you don't publish my name. My bastard son has no conscience and will definitely come to me if he finds out. I won't accept those three spots and will give them to any homeless person on the street."
