Chapter 16 The twins surrender
It has to be said that Mu Jiu felt a little emotional after hearing what Gu Yang said.
She hated mistresses, but the truth of this matter was indeed debatable, and Chen Xiao was the one who held absolute initiative.
The revelations that day diverted everyone's attention just right, and even Mu Jiu found it strange.
But after the housekeeper broke the news, the woman didn't dare to say a word. She thought it was true, but it turned out there was another reason!
However, the beneficiaries of this matter are Chen Xiao and the housekeeping department.
This is difficult to comment on.
Both sides are talking to themselves and outsiders have no way of telling the truth, but does this matter have anything to do with her?
From Gu Yang's words, she could understand that the woman chose to sacrifice her own body to stabilize the housekeeper Chen Xiao and prevent her children from being harmed.
As a mother of two children, the woman is undoubtedly qualified, and she protects her two children very well.
The twin boy and girl in front of him were so beautiful, with looks that would appeal to both boys and girls. Mu Jiu's eyes lit up just by looking at them.
With this appearance, if he didn't have any means of self-protection, he would be a walking target in the end times and could be kidnapped and bullied at any moment.
So now they came to her, ostensibly to exchange eggs for her mother, but secretly to surrender.
They hope to help Mu Jiu and get his protection. This may be their mother's idea.
But Mu Jiu doesn't like the feeling of being used.
"I can give you eggs this time, but don't come here again in the future. I don't need firewood." Mu Jiu said bluntly.
Gu Yang hesitated to speak, "Sister, I..."
"You wait here, I'll go to the backyard and get you eggs."
Mu Jiu walked towards the backyard and came back with four eggs in his hand. He opened the door and handed them to Gu Yang outside.
When he saw the four eggs, Gu Yang's eyes lit up like lights in the dark night, and he said thank you several times in succession!
Mu Jiu waved his hand and said casually: "Don't pick up those branches in the future, they are heavy even if they are not burned.
If you really have nothing to eat, you can go to the mountains to have a look.
The mountains are where we depend on for food, and there are still many resources in the mountains that can sustain people’s lives.”
After saying this, without waiting for the two people outside to reply, he closed the door and turned around to see the guests off.
She didn't want to get herself in trouble, but a little honest advice couldn't hurt.
I thought this matter was over and we would never have any intersection again.
But who would have known that the brother and sister would come again the next day.
But this time they didn't come to exchange eggs, nor did they bring firewood. Instead, each of them carried a large black backpack.
They stood at the door, rang the doorbell, and waited for Mu Jiu to come out of the house. Before she opened the door, Gu Yang opened the backpack behind him and showed it to her.
“Sister, we listened to you and went to the mountains to look for supplies. These are wild chestnuts!
We picked a lot, and this bag is for you. Thank you for telling us about the mountains!"
Without giving Mu Jiu a chance to refuse, Gu Yang placed his backpack in front of Mu Jiu's door, and they ran away together.
Although the two men moved quickly, Mu Jiu noticed with his sharp eyes that both of them had serious injuries on their hands.
After all, wild chestnuts are not so easy to pick.
After the two ran away, Mu Jiu opened the door and took the backpack into the house.
A backpack full of wild chestnuts was as heavy as big rocks. They were all peeled after being thorny, and each one was plump.
This was one of the rare cases since her rebirth when someone took the initiative to send her supplies in return for her kindness.
Mu Jiu was not pretentious. Since it was delivered to his door, he might as well eat it.
It just so happened that this thing was not included in the stockpiles before the end of the world, so it helped to whet my appetite.
She spent some time searching for delicious ways to cook chestnuts in the online disk resource library she had downloaded earlier.
Finally decided to make sugar-roasted chestnuts.
I spent two whole days researching the recipe, and finally enjoyed the soft, sweet and sugar-roasted chestnuts on the second night!
As a result, on the third day, the two siblings came again...
This time I brought some wild bayberries from the mountains that were frozen into icicles! They were bright red, like marbles, and frozen hard.
They wanted to put down their things and run away, but this time Mu Jiu took the initiative to open the door and stopped them.
"Hey, come back!"
Mu Jiu waved his hand, asked the two to come over, and then handed each of them a small brown paper bag.
"These are the wild chestnuts you picked two days ago. I made some sugar-roasted chestnuts. You can try some too."
After receiving the hot paper bags, the brother and sister's eyes instantly turned red, "Thank you, sister!"
After the two of them left, Mu Jiu brought the big bag of wild bayberries into the yard and began to study how to make them...
In the following month, the brother and sister brought food to Mu Jiu almost every day.
But they only sent her things unilaterally and never mentioned exchanging supplies.
The things they sent were quite heavy and of many kinds, all of which were supplies they collected from the mountains.
There are wild walnuts, wild kiwis, wild yams, cat shit melons, sour dates, wild pears, wild persimmons, and various unknown wild mushrooms growing beside the hot springs.
Mu Jiu naturally understood the intention behind this.
But compared to the previous time when he used their mother's affairs to beg her for sympathy, she appreciated this self-reliant and hardworking way of surrendering more!
So when they gave Mu Jiu things, Mu Jiu would also give the two of them new varieties to taste from time to time.
For example, bayberry dumplings, walnut cakes, yam cakes and so on.
The Gu family siblings are children with a sense of propriety.
They would hold their steaming hot bowls, squat outside Mu Jiu's door, finish their meals, and then return the bowls or plates to Mu Jiu.
He never asked for more, nor did he ever ask to step into Mu Jiu's house.
This gradually increased Mu Jiu's favorability towards the two of them.
In fact, during the month that the Gu siblings frequently visited the villa, people from other villas would come knocking on the door from time to time.
They thought that everyone from the Gu family could come, which meant that the person living in Building 050 was not a big monster.
But these people's demands are outrageous.
If anyone wants to borrow food without any explanation, we will promise to return it in double quantity after the extreme cold is over.
Some were so scared that they expressed their willingness to give all the remaining food and supplies in their homes to Mu Jiu, and wanted to move into her house to seek shelter.
Some even wanted to entrust their children to her and ask her to help leave a successor for the family... and so on.
Mu Jiu didn't even bother to look at him and rejected him mercilessly.
In comparison, the brother and sister from the Gu family seemed much more likable.
The days went on as usual, and most of the flowers planted in Mu Jiu's front yard had bloomed. With the circulating air from the fireplace and heater, the whole house was filled with refreshing floral fragrance.
Under her careful care, the chickens and ducks in the backyard have hatched the third batch of chicks and ducklings.
Now the number of chickens and ducks has increased exponentially. There are dozens of chicken and duck eggs in the yard alone every day, which is a considerable number.
Not to mention the millions of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs raised by housekeeper Beibei in the space farm!
In short, the foodie’s happiness index has doubled!
Although she stayed at home and did not go out, she knew the situation outside very well.
On the one hand, there were the Gu brothers and sisters who came to deliver mountain specialties every day and often told her about the situation outside.
On the other hand, the space portal can see anything within a kilometer around it.
As long as she wanted, she could know every specific detail.
As time goes by, it has been four months since the end of the world began.
Even in the villas that were well-equipped with supplies, food was beginning to be on the verge of being depleted, and more and more people were unable to pay for food.
There was no movement outside the resort. All one could see was the snow piling up higher and higher, slowly exceeding the gate of the road and forming a snowy mountain plateau more than ten meters high.
As a result, the people in the housekeeping department acted more and more arrogantly, without any scruples.
Everyone knows that the world is in complete chaos.
