Qiu Jiayue looked at Qin Suyun with displeasure, and her whole face looked a little ugly.
She stood in the hall, scanning the entire house from beginning to end. The simple white putty walls were all over the place. "Your house is so big. This floor alone is at least a hundred square meters, divided into more than a dozen rooms. You have so many empty rooms, but you only provide us with two. Isn't that too little? Besides, there are so many of us, how can two rooms be enough? You alone take up so many rooms that we can't use them all. It's not like we can't provide food, so why are you acting like we can't provide food?"
Two rooms... that means four people in each room! How can this be possible with such a tight squeeze?
This was completely unacceptable to Qiu Jiayue, who was an only child and had lived alone in a bedroom since childhood!
We were traveling before, so for safety reasons, we all stayed together.
But now they have decided to stay in Wanxi Village for a long time...
Qiu Jiayue looked at the simple houses around her and couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart. This woman clearly looked down on them!
Looking at Qin Suyun's clean pajamas, and thinking about her own embarrassing appearance at the moment, with her clothes soaked by the rain and sticking to her body with mud, Qiu Jiayue's expression became even less happy.
"As human beings, we should help each other when facing a common crisis. Can't you just let your cats and dogs squeeze in together?" Her mouth drooped, and she spoke in a rather unkind tone, "We'll give you 20 kilograms of food per month per room. If you rent seven rooms to us, that'll be 140 kilograms of food per month, enough for you to eat and drink, and keep your cats and dogs fed! Don't be ungrateful with 20 kilograms of food per room per month. If it weren't for us, no one else would be willing to pay this price! We're offering such generous conditions, and you're still trying to raise the price. That's a bit too much!"
In Qiu Jiayue's mind, what the other party said before about giving the remaining empty rooms to cats and dogs was all an excuse to raise the price!
How big can cats and dogs get after evolution? It’s not like they haven’t seen it before along the way!
On the way here, they even killed several mutant dogs. The mutant dogs they encountered on the road were only half a person's height, just above her belly button. A room could easily hold more than a dozen of them. The average family only had one or two cats and dogs, so even if this person had a few more, two or three, a room would be more than enough.
The other party would say such things just to raise the price!
In his heart, he silently labeled the woman in front of him as greedy for money, asking for exorbitant prices, and a profiteer. Qiu Jiayue frowned and looked at Qin Suyun, waiting for her answer.
Qin Suyun frowned and looked carefully at the people standing behind He Zhennan. She saw that the person who said this was a young and beautiful girl who looked several years younger than herself. She was also brought by He Zhennan, Pang Xiong and the village chief. Even if what the other party said was extremely unpleasant, it would be difficult for her to turn against her directly.
But Qin Suyun no longer had the intention of inviting everyone to sit down and rest for tea. She said in a cold voice, "Madam, I just said that our cats and dogs have grown larger after mutation, and we need several empty rooms to serve as their homes. In addition, we have a lot of miscellaneous items at home, so I can only spare two rooms for you to stay in. So the reason I don't have a room to rent to you is not because I want to ask for a higher price, but because I really can't spare seven empty rooms."
"As for the 20 kilograms of food per month you mentioned..." Qin Suyun sighed and said, "To be honest, this amount of food is not even enough for my big black dog to fill his teeth."
"Twenty kilograms of food is not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. How big is your dog's face?!" When Qiu Jiayue heard Qin Suyun's words, she snorted even more dissatisfiedly. Her face looked even uglier. She didn't believe that Qin Suyun's dog could be so big!
Hearing what Qiu Jiayue said, He Zhennan's face darkened slightly. Even Zhao Xingguo and Meng Changlong frowned, and they looked at Qiu Jiayue with displeasure.
What time is it now?
Continuous earthquakes, hailstorms and plant mutations make it a great thing to live in a house that is neither drafty nor rainproof in such an environment!
Zhao Xingguo frowned. If it weren't for Commander Meng coming back today and introducing the identities of He Zhennan and others to them, and if it weren't for his misunderstanding of Mr. He in front of him, he would have felt a little embarrassed. And since other families in the village really had no place to live, he would still be reluctant to bring people here!
after all……
In Zhao Xingguo's heart, Qin Suyun's family has always been the best-off family in the entire village. Whether in terms of accommodation conditions or safety, being able to live under the same roof with Qin Suyun is definitely an advantage for the other party.
What's 20 kilograms of food? The other party's dog is so big, it must eat at least 10 or 20 kilograms in one meal!
Nowadays, let alone three or five people sharing a room, several families in their village have over a dozen people sharing a room! In some homes, the people are so crowded that they can barely close the door. Everyone takes a mat and a quilt and sleeps on the floor.
Qiu Jiayue's mother was a perceptive person. Seeing the displeasure on the faces of the village chief and the others, she immediately tugged at her daughter's sleeve and scolded her, "Jiayue, that's enough! Other people's homes only have so many rooms. We're staying in someone else's house now, which is not as good as our own. You need to be sensible! Don't make things difficult for everyone."
"It's not that I'm ignorant, it's clearly that she's going too far..."
Qiu Jiayue grumbled dissatisfiedly, "We should have lived in Donghe City before. Didn't we come all the way here just to suffer? We can live in a villa in the city and be self-sufficient!"
Compared to the poor environment in the countryside, the villa is obviously more in line with Qiu Jiayue's preferences. As long as He Zhennan, Cui Wen and others get a set of power generation equipment, dig traps around the villa, and set up a power grid, their family living in the villa area can not only play computers comfortably at home, but also do not need to risk walking so far to this small rural place!
When Qiu Jiayue thought of the dangers she had encountered along the way, she also thought of Wanxi Village, which was in a dilapidated state and severely damaged.
All the dissatisfaction she had felt since she set out came flooding back to her. Even Cui Wen's previous love that had warmed her heart could not suppress the unhappiness in her heart.
The three members of the Qiu family originally lived in an elevator building in Dongcheng District, Donghe City, in the neighboring province. However, after the earthquake, the elevator building collapsed and they had to find other places to live.
The family followed other disaster victims and moved into a villa area that had just been built not far from their elevator building. There were many houses in the villa area, and a small number of them were fully furnished houses that people could move into directly with just their bags. Their family arrived early and quickly grabbed a small villa with a yard.
Even though life is hard on weekdays, every time Qiu Jiayue returns to the villa and sees the decoration and furniture in the bedroom, she feels that her life has not been lived in vain.
Unfortunately, the days that followed became increasingly difficult. Many people were eyeing their villa. If the house wasn't sturdy and these people didn't want to get a damaged house, someone might have come to their house and kicked them out.
Just when the family was about to give up, her childhood sweetheart, Cui Wen, showed up with his men...
It was obvious that with the abilities of Cui Wen and the other three, they could protect the three of them and live comfortably in the villa area, but that man named He Zhennan insisted on traveling through mountains and rivers to come to this rural area.
And Cui Wen was a real listener! He believed everything he said, and Qiu Jiayue was so angry that she almost bit her lips until they bled. After holding it in for so long, Qiu Jiayue finally spoke her mind.
"Jiayue, you--" Cui Wen turned his head to look at Qiu Jiayue, almost speechless with shock.
Since my girlfriend didn't want to come to Wanxi Village, why didn't she say no during the past seven days? But now she says this...
Cui Wen felt ashamed to face people because his girlfriend had humiliated him in front of the captain. He pursed his lips and stood aside, not knowing what to say.
"Ms. Qiu, if you don't want to come to Wanxi Village with us, you should have said so earlier. Why wait until now?" He Zhennan's face darkened. He squinted his eyes and scanned the three members of the Qiu family. Finally, his gaze fixed on Qiu Jiayue's dissatisfied expression. "This is a waste of your time, and ours as well. I, He Zhennan, am not someone who likes to force others. If you three are willing to go back, I can take you back tomorrow."
The other person's words were clearly unhurried and unthreatening, but Qiu Jiayue's hair stood on end. Especially when she looked into his expressionless eyes, a chill ran from the soles of her feet all the way to her forehead! Her intuition told her that what he said was true!
But if we send the three of them back to Donghe City now, where is there any place for them to live?
Without anyone to protect it, the villa area with a very good green environment can be said to be a nightmare for others.
Qiu Jiayue, who had been paralyzed for a long time after being bitten by a mutant spider, could hardly imagine how her family of three could survive without anyone to protect them...
"What are you talking about, kid?!" Seeing the attitudes of the people around her become even more dissatisfied because of her daughter's words, Mother Qiu was so anxious that sweat was almost pouring down her forehead. She hurried forward and pinched the soft flesh on her daughter's waist, and frantically scolded her, "Don't act like you're still a child. You're already 24! How can you still be so willful? What time is it now? It's just a place to live, is there any need to be so fussy?"
"That's right, how could you be so ignorant? Hurry up and apologize to Miss Qin. We are already disturbing each other by living in each other's house... In the current environment, it is not easy to have two houses. You, your mother and Aunt Lu live in one, what are you dissatisfied with?" Seeing that his daughter's temper had risen again and she offended people regardless of the occasion, Father Qiu quickly followed his wife to scold his daughter.
The fighting capacity of their family of three is not high. Although they are all adults with no burdens, their age and physical strength are there. Their daughter was raised in pampering and cannot carry anything on her shoulders or hands. If the other party really sends their family of three back to Donghe City, I am afraid something will happen in a few days.
He Zhennan's threats, her parents' scolding, and her boyfriend's speechless and stunned stare made Qiu Jiayue angry and aggrieved. Her breath was stuck in her throat and she almost vomited blood. But now no one stood by her to support her, so she had no choice but to bow her head.
But Qiu Jiayue couldn't say the words of apology. Her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
No one around spoke, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a moment. Finally, Zhao Xingguo sighed deeply and stepped out to smooth things over. "Miss Qiu is young and naive, so Sister Qin, you have to take care of it first. Let's leave the room matters alone for now. It's quite late now, so let's talk about anything tomorrow. Sister Qin, please help clean up two rooms for them to rest. You see, it's only early spring, and the weather is still so cold. We've been caught in the rain for so long, and we're all soaked. We need to boil some water for a hot bath, otherwise everyone will probably get sick tomorrow."
"Yes, yes...our Jiayue is still young, so please bear with her, Ms. Qin." Mrs. Qiu hurriedly explained, "Jiayue just graduated from school and still has a childish temper. What I said just now was just a casual remark, and I didn't mean anything else. I'm really sorry."
"Since we've discussed it, I'll go clean up two rooms now... Village Chief, you guys can go back first. I'll take care of their affairs here..." Qin Suyun saw that the village chief had said so much, and Qiu Jiayue's parents looked apologetic and apologized sincerely, so she didn't say anything else to embarrass them. She just said politely and distantly, "Mr. He, you know where I boil water in the kitchen. You can take these people there to boil some water for a bath and warm yourself by the fire. I'll go clean up the room and call you when I'm done."
