I had just finished showering when Aunt Zhi brought over a large bowl of ginger soup. Judging by the appearance, this bowl was two inches bigger than the one from yesterday.
"Young lady, you must drink all the ginger soup."
Xu Jingzhi's heart trembled. Heaven knows how worried she was when she saw the little girl's pale face.
"Miss, you can't go out again tomorrow."
"If there's anything you need to do, just tell your subordinates to do it. If you're really worried, tell Master Huo to do it. He's reliable and skilled, so he'll definitely be able to get the job done."
Xu Jingzhi watched her drink the ginger soup while patiently trying to persuade her.
"Okay, Aunt Zhi, I won't go out, cough cough."
Qin Su obediently agreed, her big, watery eyes melting Xu Jingzhi's heart.
"That's good. Aunt Zhi will make you something nice to nourish your body these next few days. You should get some rest, Miss."
Xu Jingzhi left the room and rushed straight to the kitchen.
Who knew Huo Sijin was even faster than her, she had already started simmering chicken soup!
...
This time, Qin Su slept until noon the next day.
She felt very unwell; her nose was stuffy, her throat hurt, and her head was spinning. So she simply stayed in bed and rested.
When Xu Jingzhi brought breakfast, she saw that the girl was still fast asleep, so she didn't have the heart to wake her. Now that it was lunchtime, she was afraid that the girl would get hungry, so she decided to let her eat lunch before going back to sleep.
When I walked in and saw how sickly she looked, I felt incredibly sorry for her.
She needs to talk to Lao Mo and the others, and tell them that they can't let the young lady go out again next time.
"Miss, eat before you go to sleep."
Qin Su also felt hungry and tried to get up, but Xu Jingzhi pressed her down.
"Aunt Zhi will feed you. You're not feeling well, so don't push yourself."
Xu Jingzhi tested the temperature and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
Qin Su chewed while keeping her eyes glued to her.
This feeling is so warm!
She has never experienced such maternal love in either her past or present life.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing her eyes brimming with tears, Xu Jingzhi asked in a panic.
Qin Su shook her head: "No, I just feel that Aunt Zhi looks like my mother."
Xu Jingzhi was taken aback, then thought of Qin Su's family and sighed heavily in her heart.
"Silly child, it is my honor that you compare Aunt Zhi to your mother."
Before the apocalypse, she would definitely have adopted the child as her goddaughter. But in this world, the fact that the young lady took them in was already an immense favor; how could she possibly be worthy of the young lady's trust?
Seeing that Qin Su was drowsy, Xu Jingzhi helped her lie down before leaving with the empty bowl.
"How is the young lady?"
Mo Rongguang waited outside, but the young lady didn't come out, and he was worried.
"It's probably a cold; you need to rest."
Xu Jingzhi sighed and repeated what Qin Su had said about her resembling her mother.
"Qin Shiqu is a real scoundrel. The young lady must have never received any care from him, which is why she was moved by this little bit of concern."
Mo Rongguang was so angry that he wanted to kill Qin Shiqu on the spot. He told Xu Jingzhi to take good care of Qin Su and then went to the training room.
"When you see the Qin family members in the future, give them a good beating, but don't kill them. Let them enjoy the apocalypse."
Brothers: "Butler Mo, even if you hadn't said anything, we would have done it anyway."
Hmph, the Qin family bullied Miss, they must be retaliated against.
The Qin family had no idea that, in the days to come, the resort staff would come to them every day, beating them up daily—a beating that would leave them in excruciating pain, if not fatal.
“Dad, if Lao Wan wakes up, he will definitely come after us. In that case, our whole family will die. We must find a way to get out of here.”
For some reason, the day Qin Su robbed the warehouse and left, her hair also disappeared.
It's the apocalypse now, and she can't buy a wig at all, so she has to live with a bald head.
She wasn't particularly good-looking to begin with, relying entirely on her makeup to make herself look good. Now, without makeup, she's bald and has only one ear, making her look ugly no matter how you look at her. Even Qin Shiqu couldn't help but frown when he saw her.
He knew very well that with Qin Xiaoru in such a terrible state, her attempt to use her beauty to seduce Lao Wan was doomed.
However, Lao Wan has run out of food, and all the people around him have left. He has been looking for a way out these past two days.
"Xiaoru, Dad has an idea..."
Qin Xiaoru frowned. Her father was going to sell her again!
But given the current situation, it seems that this is the only option.
That night, Qin Xiaoru and her father worked together to kill the man surnamed Wan. Then, carrying his head, they went to the mayor and said that they had been forced into this situation. Now that they had killed the man surnamed Wan, they wanted a chance to repent and start anew.
The mayor originally intended to wait until the man surnamed Wan woke up before interrogating him in detail to see if he had any other grain warehouses.
Hearing that the father and daughter had come to surrender, he was so angry he was about to curse them!
"This is a municipal area, murder is illegal, yet you openly commit murder. Do you think the law doesn't exist?"
"No, no, no, that's not how it is, Mayor. You don't know, this man surnamed Wan has many people in the shadows besides those in the open. I killed him in a fit of anger because I saw that he was planning to use his undercover people to carry out a massacre in the city!"
It must be said that Qin Shiqu did have some brains. After saying all this, he even provided the location of a granary.
Actually, he initially wanted to embezzle the granary, but due to his limited abilities, he couldn't open the granary door, so he had to use it as contribution points.
"Mayor, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that you protect my family."
That being said, Qin Shiqu knew the mayor's character well; he knew the mayor would reward him for making such a great contribution.
The mayor immediately sent people to verify the granary that Qin Shiqu had mentioned, and it did indeed contain a considerable amount of grain.
"Since you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and have found so much food, we will temporarily waive your charge of murder."
Qin Shiqu was shocked. He had made such a great contribution, shouldn't he be given power?
Seeing his shock, the mayor scoffed inwardly. This Qin Shiqu was quite the actor. If Miss Qin hadn't mentioned his character to him before, he would have been completely fooled.
"No, Mayor, I did such a thing, Lao Wan's men will definitely not let me go, you must ensure my safety."
Seeing that the mayor was about to leave, Qin Shiqu quickly chased after him, but was stopped by the mayor's secretary.
"Don't worry, as long as you stay in the city hall, no one will hurt you."
It's best not to let someone like that out there to disgust Miss Qin.
Qin Shiqu wanted to say that he didn't want to stay obediently in the municipal government; he was getting sick of eating porridge twice a day.
But the mayor has already gone far away, what else can he do?
It seems that in the end, we still have to rely on Xiaoru. If Xiaoru can catch that person's eye, then their lives will be much easier from now on.
