Chapter 46: Mo Pengfei
After dinner, Ye Xin began to check her own space.
The pigs were awake now, and she had cordoned off an area in the garden and herded them all inside.
Then she placed the trough she brought from the pig farm at the edge and poured the pig feed scooped out of the water into the trough. Watching the pigs eating happily, Ye Xin left the space.
Mo Pengfei's rubber boat was up, so she had to ask Director Mo to take back her rubber boat.
Ye Xin paced to the 17th floor and knocked on Mo Pengfei's door.
The person who opened the door was a child, who looked about eleven years old. He asked timidly, "Auntie, who are you looking for?"
Ye Xin knew that this was Mo Pengfei's child, and seemed to be Su Jing's student.
"Has your father come back? I'm upstairs, here to ask him to return the rubber boat." Ye Xin was as gentle as possible to the child, but secretly on guard.
The little boy shouted into the house: "Dad! Someone is looking for you!"
Mo Pengfei just responded and ran over here.
There was candlelight in the room, and it seemed that they had dinner tonight.
When Mo Pengfei saw Ye Xin, he smiled and said, "It's Miss Ye. Oh, and Teacher Su. Please come in."
Ye Xin stood still: "I won't go in, Brother Mo, please pull the rubber boat out."
Mo Pengfei's expression changed: "In theory, I should return it to Teacher Su, but..."
Ye Xin frowned: "Are you trying to swallow our rubber boat?"
From Brother Mo suddenly becoming "you", Ren Ping knew that Ye Xin was angry.
Mo Pengfei waved his hands quickly, ran into the room and took out two packets of salt, a few packets of noodles and some daily necessities: "This is the reward we promised you, how about this? Don't you have another assault boat? Anyway, this rubber boat is idle."
He rubbed his hands nervously. "How about this? I'll take over the rubber boat, and we'll split the supplies I salvage 70-30. I'll take 70 and you'll take 30."
Ye Xin shook her head: "This rubber boat belongs to Teacher Su. As you know, Teacher Su is in partnership with Bai Bing's family. If they have one more rubber boat, they can bring in a lot more things!"
Su Jing nodded: "Well! I won't bother Brother Mo anymore. It's better for me to go and get it myself. Please abide by the agreement and return the rubber boat to me."
Mo Pengfei was anxious: "How about we split it 40% and 60%?"
"Give it back to me..."
"Five-five! That's all right now!"
"Miss Ye, Teacher Su, please be kind. You have something to use. It doesn't matter whether you have this rubber boat or not, but my family still depends on it for food!"
Hey! This makes them seem unreasonable.
Ye Xin pondered for a moment, an idea came into his mind, and he nodded: "Okay! As long as you keep your word, we will split the supplies 50-50. Teacher Su will come to inspect the supplies at this time tomorrow, and I will pick out the rest and you will get it."
Mo Pengfei wanted to retort, but after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay! Miss Ye has the final say! You get to choose the supplies you find first!"
But in my heart I was laughing: Women are really short-sighted. I will hide the good things I have found first, and you can choose whatever you want later!
When Ye Xin turned around and left, the little white mouse had already jumped into her pocket.
She deliberately shouted loudly: "Brother Mo is really capable! He found so much food in one day! With Brother Mo's help, I don't have to worry about being hungry."
"Brother Mo has a kind heart. He will not watch us go hungry."
After hearing these words, the neighbors who were looking around could not help but feel jealous when they recalled the scene of Mo Pengfei's family carrying supplies upstairs.
"He was able to find so many supplies in one day. His rubber boat was on the 18th floor! That woman looked fierce, but she was nice to Mo Pengfei."
"She's right. Brother Mo is a kind-hearted man. How could he watch us go hungry? Let's go and borrow some food from him."
Ye Xin raised the corners of her mouth and smiled silently.
This is exactly the effect she wants!
Standing in the corridor between the 17th and 18th floors, she watched the neighbors swarming in with a smile, and couldn't help laughing: Let's see what he will do!
Hearing the knock on the door again, Mo Pengfei opened the door and found that his door was surrounded by neighbors.
Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, complained to him: "Mr. Mo, my family has been unable to make ends meet for several days. There are only my old man and I at home, and we can't even go out to find food."
"Well, Mr. Mo, you are our owner's representative, how can you just watch us go hungry? Share some of the food you have foraged with us, and we will pay for it! Mr. Mo has the final say on the price."
Mo Pengfei's face froze. "Aunt Zhang, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. I only picked up some useless things like toothpaste and toothbrushes today. The food is really too little! When I pick up more tomorrow, I will personally deliver it to your house. Do you think it's okay?"
Ye Xin snorted coldly: "Still pretending! I wonder how long you can hold on!"
A burly man said to him, "Brother Mo, you see we have a good relationship, but you can't just watch your brother go hungry! Share some, share some, just a little bit will do, to fill your stomach."
"That's right, Mo, you have a kind heart. You are the floor manager elected by us all. You can't just watch us starve while you hide at home and enjoy the good life, right?"
Mo Pengfei then understood that because he refused to return the rubber boat, this was Ye Xin's counterattack!
Still? He is unwilling!
If he was besieged by his neighbors like this every day, he really couldn't stand it!
He had no choice but to take out a bag of rice, which looked like it weighed about two or three pounds, and said awkwardly: "This is all the food we caught today. How about we share it? From now on, you can figure it out on your own and don't come to me again."
"If you really can't find any food, you can sign up for the corpse-collecting team. There are still vacancies available."
Why would anyone listen to his theories? When they see food in front of them, they just reach out and grab it!
The bag of rice was quickly divided up by several neighbors. No one said "thank you" and just turned around and left the 17th floor.
Mo Pengfei shook her head. She finally understood why Floor 18 refused to lend her even a grain of food!
It's not good to borrow it!
Ye Xin and her father drove the rubber boat back to the dormitory, released the little white mouse, and fed it a piece of dried meat first.
Xuanxuan held it in his hand and said, "Little white mouse, what did you find out? Tell me."
The little white mouse had no time to pay attention to him. He was eating the dried meat happily, making "squeak, squeak..." "squeak, squeak..." sounds while eating.
Ye Xin listened carefully. Every tone of its call was almost the same. How could Xuanxuan and her mother understand what it said?
I just can't figure it out.
Seeing the little white mouse eating up all the dried meat, it raised its two front paws towards Ye Xin and shook them continuously. This time Ye Xin understood.
It's not full, it still wants to eat!
Ye Xin took out two pieces of dried meat again: "Are you hungry? Eat it! Don't eat too much, I still have a lot here."
The little white mouse seemed to understand Ye Xin's words and nodded its snow-white head: "Squeak...squeak..." "Squeak...squeak..."
Ye Xin was speechless for a while. She had completely given up! She really didn't understand!
After the little white mouse finished eating three pieces of dried meat in one breath, it burped and communicated with Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan laughed while listening, while Ye Xin was confused: "What's going on?"
After listening to Xuanxuan's retelling, Ye Xin frowned: What a Mo Pengfei! She finally understood where her uneasiness came from!
His first stop was actually there!
