After crying for a long time, Zheng Qian slowly said, "My husband and I were high school classmates and even deskmates. I had poor grades, but he had good grades and was always in the top ten of the grade, so he often tutored me. In this way, we gradually fell in love with each other. At the same time, my grades improved by leaps and bounds, which surprised my classmates and teachers."
"Back then, we made a promise to get into the same university and have a proper relationship. Later, we did indeed make it and became the envy of everyone in the university. But after graduation, we realized how cruel society is. Our jobs were relatively stable, but our families were from the countryside and were quite poor, so we lived a very frugal life. We had originally agreed to get married, but my mother disliked him because he was poor and absolutely refused to let me marry him."
At this point, Zheng Qian's eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia as she said, "But I didn't compromise, and neither did he. He even took out a loan and gave the money to my mother as a way of repaying her for raising me. Then he eloped with me to Donghai City to start our business."
He Fengwu gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "You two are quite courageous to elope!"
Zheng Qian smiled faintly and continued, "Yes, after that, he seemed to be stimulated and wanted to prove himself to everyone. Of course, he lived up to expectations and started working like crazy, earning his first pot of gold. Later, he started his own business, opened a cannery, and his business grew bigger and bigger. He became a big boss and finally got his revenge."
He Fengwu sat down and asked curiously, "What about your mother? Did she come to your door asking you to give her money?"
Zheng Qian said coldly, "Yes, but I kicked her out."
Not to mention He Fengwu, even Ji Hao was a little stunned.
Zheng Qian said, "When my husband gave her that money back then, he repaid all the debts of gratitude he owed her. I don't owe her anything. In fact, I have never regretted severing ties with my mother. Facts have proved that my judgment was correct. My husband is hardworking and ambitious. Even though he became a big boss, he has remained faithful to his wife and has never had a mistress. I am very happy, really happy. If it weren't for this snow disaster, we might already be planning to have a child."
He Fengwu sighed and said softly, "Yes, this natural disaster has changed many people."
Ji Hao suddenly said, "I'm curious, if we don't find your husband, will you tell us where the guns are hidden?"
Zheng Qian looked at Ji Hao and said resolutely, "Yes, you helped me kill that villain and rescued me, which is already a huge favor. For this alone, I should reward you. The reason I traded guns with you is mainly because I really wanted to see my husband, so I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize. From your perspective, there's nothing wrong with doing this." Ji Hao waved his hand, completely unconcerned.
Zheng Qian revealed the location where the guns were buried, then stroked her husband Zhao Xiujie's face, tears welling up in her eyes again.
"Could you do me another favor?" Zheng Qian asked, still looking at Zhao Xiujie with deep affection.
"Go ahead," Ji Hao said, having a pretty good idea of what she wanted to say.
Zheng Qian said, "My wish has been fulfilled. Even if I continue to live, it will have no meaning. After I die, I hope you can bury me with him."
Everyone was deeply moved; the two had a profound relationship, and to have gone this far was truly admirable.
Ji Hao didn't try to persuade her, he just said, "Okay, I promise you."
Zheng Qian said, "There's a big tree outside the factory. Dig up the snow and soil in front of the tree. There are several boxes of canned fruit and canned beef inside. I buried them on the second night after the apocalypse broke out, intending to use them as reserve food. I didn't tell anyone about this, so the cans are definitely still there. Take them with you."
Ji Hao said, "Thank you."
Zheng Qian hugged Zhao Xiujie tightly with one hand and gently stroked his cheek with the other: "Give me a quick death, don't make me feel pain."
Ji Hao replied, "Okay."
The next moment, his fingertips crackled with electricity as he touched Zheng Qian's forehead.
Zheng Qian closed her eyes, and in a daze, she felt her body was very light, very light, slowly floating upwards.
Gradually, she seemed to have entered a sacred world, as dreamlike as paradise.
There, a golden gate of light stood out conspicuously, with raindrops of light falling down, dazzling and magnificent.
A handsome, sunny figure suddenly appeared in front of the portal and waved to her.
Zheng Qian couldn't help but walk towards the figure, a bright smile on her face, and said tenderly, "Honey, you've come to pick me up."
It feels like a lifetime has passed in a daze.
.............................................
Everyone was deeply moved. Who says there is no true love in the apocalypse? Zheng Qian and Zhao Xiujie are the perfect example.
"Let's go, I'll carry the bodies, you guys carry the canned goods on the ground." Ji Hao hoisted the two bodies onto his shoulder and walked outside.
He Fengwu and the others then carried the canned goods from the room onto the RV.
Ji Hao found a large tree outside and used his spatial manipulation to dig a deep pit under it. He found eight boxes of canned fruit and beef buried in the pit.
Four boxes of canned fruit and four boxes of canned beef.
Tao Tao exclaimed, "My God, eight whole boxes of canned food! Add to the five boxes in the break room, we're rich this time!"
Ye Zhenzhen said, "The main thing is that there's a lot of canned beef. This stuff is scarce. So many teams went out to collect supplies before, but none of them had as much as we did."
The group was very happy; such a gain was completely unexpected.
