This time when there was no water in Lanshan Villa District, other residents had already run to Du Huairen several times.
They were arrogant at first, but after they suffered a setback outside, they once again humbled themselves and came to Du Huairen for help.
But Su Keke from Villa No. 5 and Qin Xiu from Villa No. 6 did not come to find him.
The security guard at the gate reported that these two families, like everyone else, went to the government well every evening to fetch two buckets of water and then returned.
They are also a big family. Du Huairen doesn't believe that just two small buckets of water can be used by both families, unless they have a channel to get drinking water?
Du Huairen thinks quickly, which is better than his two sons. No wonder he was able to make a fortune before the natural disaster.
After thinking about this, Du Huairen told the villa owner who came to see him that he would try his best, and asked everyone to leave first, without giving a definite answer.
The other owners are also helpless as they have no access to water. Apart from the government in Lingcheng, probably only the Du family can think of a solution.
Before they had access to large quantities of drinking water, the wealthy people in the Arashiyama villa area could only drive out every evening to queue up for water, just like ordinary citizens.
There are only two buckets of water every day, which is not enough for the whole family to drink, let alone wash their hair and take a bath.
Although the Du family is not so miserable, they have three large families, a security team, and several property staff who need water. Their water consumption is no less than that of a small factory.
Even if the Du family stored several tons of drinking water in advance, it would not last for too long. So Du Huairen could only save money first and then think about how to increase revenue.
In the past few days, in addition to Du Yicheng, Du Yifan and Butler Song going to the official water point to fetch water every day, the security department and other staff also have to take turns to go out to fetch water.
When the extreme cold was about to end, the municipal office sent out patrol teams to conduct population registration from house to house.
After more than half a year of natural disasters, Lingcheng's population has been reduced by nearly one-third. This data is very shocking. If such natural disasters continue, who knows how many more people will die?
Now, in every place where there is a well, the government has assigned nearby residents to fetch water. The staff on duty on site must strictly control it, and everyone must sign before fetching water.
Mr. Du was not idle at home either. This time he went to Villa No. 5 in person.
Du Huairen's arrival really surprised Su Keke and Grandma Qiao.
Although it was already evening, the temperature outside was still as high as 40 degrees. Su Keke had just gone out to get two buckets of water and came back. Did the old man from the Du family come right after her?
Because the temperature outside was too high, Mr. Du did not let the driver wait for him in the car, but followed Su Keke directly to Villa No. 5.
This was the first time Du Huairen had come here since the villa was rented to Su Keke. Apart from a lot of wilted vegetables planted in the yard, no other changes had been made.
As soon as he entered the living room, Du Huairen felt a slight coolness. It was very comfortable to be in an air-conditioned place when it was extremely hot.
After Du Huairen sat down, Grandma Qiao made them a pot of the best Pu'er tea.
"Master Du, you don't come to the temple for no reason, right?"
Su Keke asked straight to the point.
"Hahaha! You, a little girl, are still so direct in speaking. Can't I just come to see you?" Du Huairen laughed.
"Oh! Then I didn't know that Mr. Du had such a refined taste. It's so hot that you're almost steaming, but you're still interested in visiting your neighbors!"
Su Keke glanced at Du Huairen with a half-smile, and her tone of voice was not very welcoming.
"Hahaha! You kid, you're still so unreasonable. I really came here to ask for something today."
Since Su Keke asked so directly, Du Huairen couldn't hide it anymore.
"Since you're asking for help, then there's no need to ask. If even Mr. Du can't handle it, then there's nothing I can do about it!"
Su Keke actually refused like that. Grandma Qiao's hand, which had just been pouring tea for Du Huairen, suddenly trembled.
"I..." Du Huairen was speechless, and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together. He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and this girl really didn't show any mercy!
Du Huairen quickly calculated in his mind. He had been in the business world for so many years and had experienced countless negotiations, big and small.
It just depends on whether the chips given by the other party are enough. Su Keke must have what she needs.
"Ms. Su, don't refuse so quickly. My request is not difficult. I just want to exchange some drinking water with you. The conditions are negotiable. Just ask."
Du Huairen smiled with his eyes narrowed, and his forehead, which had been squeezed together just now, instantly relaxed.
Su Keke does have drinking water. In addition to the water stored in the space, the faucets in the capsule house can also provide water continuously. But why did she want to exchange with Du Huairen?
Su Keke thought for a moment and said, "I want some special anti-corrosion protective clothing. If Mr. Du has any, I'll try to find a way to get some water."
Protective clothing? Du Huairen wondered what this girl needed protective clothing for. Could there be another infectious disease next?
He really doesn't have this thing, but he knows a lot of people, so he goes back and asks his men to go out a few times to see if they can get some protective clothing.
"I'll go back and think of a solution for the protective suits. I'll send someone to notify Miss Su as soon as I have a clue."
"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Du!"
The two didn't say anything more, and Du Huairen got up and prepared to go back.
As we left the living room, another heat wave hit us. It was still so hot even when it was dark, so the driver quickly ran to the car and turned on the air conditioner.
After seeing Du Huairen off, Su Keke quickly went to the space to take a cold shower.
In order not to stand out, she went to the official well to fetch water every day. There were so many people lining up, and the sweat stench from those who hadn't taken a shower for many days almost made Su Keke faint.
After finally fetching two buckets of water, Su Keke was sweating all over. She wanted to take a nice bath just after she came back, but Du Huairen came to her house.
In fact, in the previous life, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao did not take a bath for many days when it was extremely hot. At most, they would just wipe themselves with a wet towel.
"People! Once they live a better life than others, they tend to forget their roots." Su Keke lay in the bathtub on the third floor, looking up at the sky and said self-deprecatingly.
Thinking back to my past life, I was also one of those ordinary disaster victims, dirty and smelly. Why do I still despise those disaster victims today?
Su Keke shook her head vigorously, feeling that she had become particularly cold-hearted in this life. Except for those who had helped her, she was particularly indifferent to everyone else.
But in the end times, what's the use of having a warm heart? If you expose your space, it might bring disaster to yourself and Grandma Qiao.
"Forget it! It's better to be indifferent to this kind of world!" Su Keke muttered to herself with half-closed eyes.
