Chapter 39 Being kept by the eldest brother
The stalls in the official market are all independent. You can own a stall by registering with the official office with your ID card.
This is a large second-hand salted fish market with all kinds of goods.
Among food, clothing, housing and transportation, except food, the types of other things are unimaginable.
For example, at the second-hand fur stall, colorful faux fur coats were piled up like small hills, with signs hanging on them saying "two taels of pork per coat", with any style possible!
For example, second-hand luxury bags, hats, gloves, scarves, shoes, and even second-hand underwear, panties and socks, etc., are packaged and sold for half a pound of rice!
Another example is second-hand skin care products, facial masks, creams, lotions, cosmetics, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, laundry detergent, etc., all for just two taels of rice, sold at a loss!
There are also second-hand daily appliances such as shavers, hair dryers, beauty devices, as well as kitchen appliances such as rice cookers, air fryers, electric kettles, induction cookers, a series of digital appliances such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, and a pound of rice, all for sale at a loss!
Most stalls want to exchange food because in the extremely cold apocalypse, the lack of water, electricity and gas means that all the products produced before the apocalypse have lost their use value.
But everyone was short of food, so most things had no market, and those who bought them were considered foolish saviors in their eyes.
The Gu family brothers and sisters are such fools!
Gu Yang used the local specialty products he brought with him to help his sister buy a long pink down jacket, and then a matching hat, scarf and gloves.
I also bought my sister a whole set of unopened Winter Plum Lotion Essence Cream, as well as a set each of famous brand shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste.
There was no water supply in the city center, and it was difficult to wash your face, so these things were of no use.
But the hot spring resort has water, so you can not only take a shower and wash your hair every day, but also take a bath. These things are not redundant.
Gu Yang also considerately changed a few packs of sanitary napkins for his sister Gu Nuan. He pampered his sister himself.
He bought himself a complete set of hardware repair tools, including a sledgehammer, pliers, wrenches, etc., for future use.
The mother and daughter of the Lou family exchanged the vegetables and fruits they grew for laundry detergent, toilet paper, sanitary napkins and other feminine products.
Mu Jiu was the type who just came for fun. She had a lot of new stuff in her space, so there was no need to exchange it for a bunch of second-hand items.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be reluctant to leave, Mu Jiu asked everyone to go shopping on their own first, but to be careful and to meet on the street outside the market at 2pm.
After separating from everyone, Mu Jiu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
As she expected, she saw her good father and uncle, along with her 5-year-old brother, sitting in front of a stall and selling goods among the crowded crowd in the market.
As for what was being sold, it was of course the things in the box that took up half of the living room when she first moved into her house.
There is everything you need, including clothes and supplies for the elderly, children, men and women.
In their previous life, they had set up stalls in the market, but at that time, they sold various ornaments and utensils from Mu Jiu's home.
In this life, without Mu Jiu’s shelter, they still did not return to their hometown, but continued to endure here.
If you can go back to your hometown before the end of the world, where there are mountains and fields, you may not necessarily live a miserable life, but if you stay, you definitely will.
Because of the suffering that Mu Jiu had endured at the hands of that family in his previous life, he must pay it back in this life.
She adjusted her new light purple base winter clothing and walked towards the stall with a leisurely and calm pace.
"Boss, do you want to take a look at these clothes? They are 90% new and have hardly been worn! Just one or two taels... Mu Jiu?"
Dad was the first to shout. Seeing Mu Jiu here, he felt it was a little unreal.
After all, they had tried every way to contact her before, but failed.
Now she appeared in front of them herself.
Her clothes were clean and straight, her complexion was rosy and her skin was fair. She was still as beautiful as ever.
It seems that this little girl has been living a very good life in the past six months since the end of the world. She must have found a rich man.
Anyone who sees that face will be confused. Just by beckoning her fingers, a large number of men will rush to her.
"Jiu, Jiu...Jiu'er, it's great that you're still alive!
After the end of the world, your uncle and I went to your house to look for you.
Your house has been broken into pieces, and the furniture has been smashed into pieces...
We thought something happened to you. You suddenly disappeared for such a long time. Dad was worried to death!
Come on, let daddy check, are you okay? Have you lost weight?"
He pretended to be worried, then pulled his youngest son and said:
"Come on, come on and call me sister. Don't you always say you miss me?"
The younger brother looked at Mu Jiu timidly, not daring to open his mouth.
He is very different from the little bully in his previous life.
Presumably, at such a young age, he has already experienced the malice of this world from his selfish parents who bully the good and fear the evil.
Of course Mu Jiu had to "have pity" on this group of people.
After all, it was still after the end of the world, so he immediately went into his "home" to find her!
If she hadn't sold her house and moved to the resort, she would have been kicked out by that group of people again.
He insisted on acting out the affectionate father-daughter scene, so Mu Jiu acted out the scene with him.
I guess he cursed her a lot during the time he was wandering in South City after she rejected him.
"I'm worried about you too! Before the end of the world, you called me twice, but you hung up before I could finish my words...
But I couldn’t contact you anymore afterwards, and it made me so worried!
I am a girl, and I couldn't guard such a big apartment. The door was broken into at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Fortunately, I ran fast and met a rich man on the road who took me in!
Although he is a little old, almost the same age as my father, he is still very nice to me.
If you eat and drink well every day, you can live well..."
Mu Jiu glanced at her father shyly.
When he heard that she was with an old man in his fifties or sixties, his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
Mu Jiu suppressed his laughter in his heart, then calmed down and continued:
"You don't have to worry about me too much, I'm lucky to be alive!
Originally, when I met you here today, I should have taken you to where I live now to settle down.
But now I am also living under someone else's roof.
That eldest brother has three sons, all of whom are older and stronger than me!
I’m afraid if you go there, they’ll be unhappy and start beating people…”
Mu Jiu's words blocked her father's words as he was about to go to her for help.
With his frail old body, how could he withstand a beating?
And what kind of nonsense was her daughter talking about? She was serving four men, one old and three young, all by herself. Was this what he meant?
Who would have thought that at this moment, the usually silent uncle suddenly spoke:
“How can Jiuer be bullied like this outside?
Brother, as Jiuer's elders, we are her supporters.
Especially at times like this, we should stand up and shoulder the burden of life for her!
Jiuer, you don't have to worry about this matter. Your father and I will find a solution.
No matter what, we must make sure that old rogue who bullied you receives the punishment he deserves!"
