Chapter 18 Chopping Wood in the Mountain



It seems that the two elders of the Qiao family did not gain any advantage.

This family is well-known in the local area for favoring boys over girls. The granddaughter dropped out of school after junior high school to work, but the grandson was able to study abroad.

However, the grandson came back after studying for two months, saying that he couldn't adapt to the outside world. His grandparents felt sorry for him and took him back. It was a big joke in the town at the time, so many people knew about it.

And as soon as he arrived, he heard the old man scolding Qiao Xuejun for being useless and an ungrateful person.

Both investigators' faces turned pale. What kind of backward thinking is this!

Besides, this is an outbreak of infection, and they are going door to door to publicize how to deal with mad cow disease. They just did the publicity at these two elderly people's homes fifteen minutes ago, telling them not to walk around the streets, not to go to other people's homes, and to stay at home and not walk around.

At that time, they were very cooperative and kept saying "yes, yes, yes". But then, they turned around and did this! They refused to cooperate with the work!

Seeing that the investigators really came, the two elders of the Qiao family came forward to complain: "You came at the right time. Our unfilial descendants moved all the things in the house and left nothing for us. During the quarantine, there is no food to sell in the vegetable market in town, and the things bought online cannot be delivered. She moved our things away just to starve us to death!"

Qiao Xuejun also immediately shouted: "Those things were paid off by Qiao Yaozu. Wasn't the 600,000 yuan he used to study abroad the compensation for my parents' car accident? The pile of junk in his warehouse is only 300,000 yuan less than mine. He still owes me 300,000 yuan, and I still have the IOU!"

As Qiao Xuejun spoke, she took out some debt repayment instructions and photos of handwritten IOUs that she had prepared long ago from her cell phone album, stretched her hand out of the iron gate, and handed them to the investigator.

Qiao Yaozu took the initiative to write the IOU and the debt repayment statement, for he was afraid that Qiao Xuejun would not acknowledge it after he gave it to her.

The IOU had Qiao Yaozu's signature and the red official seal of his live broadcast studio. The investigator frowned as he read it, and it was clear at a glance who was right and who was wrong.

The two elders of the Qiao family didn't expect Qiao Xuejun to have such a hidden trick, and they immediately wanted to knock the phone out of Qiao Xuejun's hand: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qiao Xuejun quickly retracted her hand, leaving them empty-handed: "You still want to destroy the evidence!"

The two elders of the Qiao family almost pounced on the two investigators.

The investigator's expression became increasingly grim.

It is not their job to deal with family matters.

The investigators are already very busy, and it's noon, which makes their work even more difficult. If they run into someone who doesn't care about the truth, deliberately makes trouble, and refuses to cooperate with the work, their faces will never be good.

The female investigator criticized: "Qiao Jianshan, Zhang Zhenshu, you just signed the proposal 20 minutes ago, and now you are violating the management regulations. Comrade Qiao Xuejun was right not to let you in! During this special period, you must consciously abide by the regulations and not cause trouble to the public!"

The two elders of the Qiao family were not convinced: "How can you talk like that, little girl..."

The male investigator next to him was not so good-tempered. He stood up angrily and said, "Please go back to your residence immediately and don't make trouble. Otherwise, we will invite you to the community education center for policy promotion!"

The male investigator spoke in a harsh tone. The two elders of the Qiao family were a little embarrassed and wanted to argue with the investigator, but the male investigator was obviously not in that mood. When repeated warnings were ineffective, he forcibly took the two elders away.

The female investigator also reassured Qiao Xuejun: "Don't worry, such destabilizing factors will be eliminated during the control period. The community will supervise them to study until they understand the spirit of the community's control measures."

Qiao Xuejun thanked the investigator.

It seems that the two elders of the Qiao family will not cause trouble in the short term.

However, it can be seen that their food reserves are probably running low, so as soon as they knew she was at home, they immediately came to cause trouble. They didn't want to pay a penny and wanted to take back the food that was pawned to her.

I'm dreaming.

Qiao Xuejun looked at the iron gate again.

If she could get some wood back, she could seal the iron gate. Wood is afraid of fire, but it also makes a lot of noise. Besides, she could build another layer of earth wall inside the wall, a double wall, which would directly increase the defense.

The doors and windows of the small building also need to be covered with a layer of wooden boards.

Although the system evaluation shows that it is a "dangerous building", it is at least a reinforced concrete structure. If we don't encounter the demolition team, sealing the doors and windows is enough to resist these villagers.

It would be so hot if she stood there for any longer, so Qiao Xuejun went back to the house and went down to the basement.

After only being there for half an hour, Qiao Xuejun was sweating again. She turned on the water and planned to take another shower.

After turning on the water pipe, I found that the water was coming in much slower and the flow was much smaller. It was completely different from the abundant water supply before.

"System, is the water supply going to be cut off?" Qiao Xuejun asked.

She herself had no problem with the water outage, but it would be difficult to take care of the land.

System: "Host, this is not written in the book, and I don't know."

Qiao Xuejun commented: "Little waste."

The system committee patched it up with grievance: "However, water outages are normal in the doomsday. After entering a state of anarchy and disorder, there will be no more tap water supply. You must open the well water function and 100,000 kilograms of grain."

Qiao Xuejun: "100,000 kilograms of food is enough for 10 people to eat for 30 years, do you know that?"

This requires food, and that requires food. Where would she get so much food from with just over one acre of land?

"I chose to dig a well." This was also the choice of farmers in the past, digging ditches and wells. It was a bit technically difficult for Qiao Xuejun, but he had to give it a try. If it didn't work, he could pay for the grain. If it did, wouldn't the 100,000 kilograms of grain be saved for other things?
