Chapter Nineteen: Warehouse Supplies, Here I Come!

Mu Qingyu's original plan was to pick up Aunt Mei yesterday after picking up Mu Qingrong the day before yesterday. However, she discovered that Mu Qingrong had a large amount of assets, so she had to quickly exchange the money for supplies and postpone her arrival here, since there were still a few days before the apocalypse truly arrived.

"Oh, is this alright? Will it be too much trouble for you? Do your family agree?" Aunt Mei was a little flustered. Having done this job almost her entire life, she knew that the children here, whether adopted or found and returned, all had some distance from their families, after all, they hadn't been raised by their parents from a young age...

But she desperately needs a new place to live. She has no savings, and they haven't received any social assistance for almost two years... She also has two sick children to support...

Someone was supposed to help her find a new place to live, but they suddenly lost contact. The weather has been getting increasingly strange lately, and more and more people are getting sick. She's been so worried these past few days that she hasn't been able to sleep...

Mu Qingyu's arrival was indeed a timely help.

"Don't worry, Aunt Mei, I've made all the arrangements, otherwise I wouldn't have come so late. Don't hesitate, hurry up and pack your things and come with me, otherwise we might really not be able to leave tomorrow," Mu Qingyu said. Actually, it wasn't that serious. Even if the vehicle couldn't leave tomorrow, she still had a raft and a speedboat in her space, all of which were among the things she had bought in the past two days.

But she had to make the situation sound more serious, lest Aunt May hesitate and waste time.

"But..." Aunt Mei hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "I still have two children here...they..."

Mu Qingyu smiled: "Of course we'll go together. Now that I'm here, I can't let you leave the children behind."

Seeing Mu Qingyu smiling brightly, with no dissatisfaction or burden on her face, Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Mei, hurry up and pack your things, or we might not be able to drive the car any later," Mu Qingyu urged.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, Xiao Mo, let's pack our things and go with Xiao Yu," Aunt Mei said, holding the hands of the two children beside her.

Mu Qingyu had been secretly observing the two children. The girl was only curious about Mu Qingyu and didn't seem to care much about her conversation with Aunt Mei. She listened to whatever Aunt Mei said and happily went to pack her things when she was told to. She seemed a little too naive.

The boy was also secretly observing Mu Qingyu. Although he did not object to Aunt Mei's decision, he did not relax his vigilance towards Mu Qingyu at all.

It only took Aunt Mei and the other two an hour to pack their things; there really wasn't much of value to take. Before leaving, Aunt Mei left a note inside the door with the address of Villa No. 4, saying that they had lost contact with a friend and hoped he would see the note if he came back looking for them.

Mu Qingyu did not stop her from doing so. She only noticed that the boy named Xiao Mo showed a look of strong disapproval towards Aunt Mei's actions.

The return journey was indeed difficult. The floodwaters on the road submerged most of the truck's wheels, and the truck stalled several times along the way.

After rushing as fast as I could, I finally made it back to the rural villa area just as dawn was breaking.

When Mu Qingyu's van stopped in front of Villa No. 4, the gate of Villa No. 3 opened, and Mu Qingrong rushed out.

"Sis, where did you go? I was so worried about you. It's raining so hard, I was afraid you wouldn't come back."

Mu Qingyu hurried back to Mu Qingrong: "Xiaorong, hurry home and don't get wet in the rain! Getting sick now could lead to serious trouble."

Unfortunately, Mu Qingrong wouldn't listen at all.

Mu Qingyu had no choice but to ask him to help Aunt Mei and the others move. Fortunately, they didn't have much stuff, and the move was completed quickly.

After moving into the new villa, Aunt Mei was clearly still in a daze for a long time.

Mu Qingyu handed all the keys to Aunt Mei, gave them a brief introduction to the house's layout, and concluded, "Treat this place as your own home. Use it however you like, go wherever you want. I have some things to attend to and must leave. If you have any questions, come find me when I get back. If all else fails, you can ask my brother next door, or call me."

The signal has not been interrupted yet, and the phone is still working normally.

After giving them a few more instructions, Mu Qingyu escorted Mu Qingrong home.

Mu Qingyu was originally going to take a shower and rest, after all, she hadn't slept for two days and two nights. But no sooner had she finished showering than Lü Peng called.

Lu Peng said on the phone that many employees were stuck at home or on the road today because of the weather. Mr. Yuan's illness hasn't healed yet, and now another group of people have fallen ill.

"Does Muxiangyuan have enough manpower right now?" Mu Qingyu asked.

"We have enough manpower. Actually, we haven't received any new orders since a few days ago. Customers who were supposed to pick up their goods have also postponed or delayed their pickup times due to weather or other reasons. There hasn't been much going on in the park these past few days," Lu Peng reported dutifully.

"Well then, you and the staff already on duty will work another morning. I'll be over this afternoon, and then you can all have the day off. Don't worry, your wages won't be deducted. We'll talk about the rest when I get there." Although Mu Qingyu really wanted to go there now, she was just too tired and needed to rest.

After setting an alarm, Mu Qingyu rested until noon. Just as the alarm rang, Mu Qingrong came to call Mu Qingyu for lunch.

"You can cook?" Mu Qingyu was quite surprised.

"No," Mu Qingrong smiled sheepishly, "I just saw some instant noodles in the storage room, but I don't know how to make anything else..."

"I see," Mu Qingyu said, gently patting Mu Qingrong's head. "That's more like it. It would be strange if Mu Qingrong, the young master, could even cook."

Mu Qingrong didn't ask about the supplies in that storage room, and Mu Qingyu didn't intend to say anything more.

After the siblings ate the noodles, Mu Qingyu said she wanted to go to Mu Xiang Garden.

"Sister, let me go with you. I'm worried about you going out alone in this heavy rain," Mu Qingrong said, frowning.

Mu Qingyu refused; of course, she couldn't agree. Firstly, with the apocalypse approaching, the outside world was dangerous. Secondly, she wasn't really going to Mu Xiangyuan to work; her main purpose was to acquire all the supplies in Mu Xiangyuan's warehouse before the apocalypse!

This is something she has to do all by herself!
