Chapter 40 I'm Really Not Short of Money
Lin Muyan carefully studied the contents of the contract. Although she didn't understand most of the part about modifying the safe house, she still knew some of the basics.
For example, the safe house's power system uses a variety of power generation methods, including wind power, solar photovoltaic power, and thermal power, as well as biomass and geothermal power, in addition to the ones she knows.
These power generation systems do not require any additional operation from the user; they can generate electricity autonomously simply by providing some raw materials.
For example, biomass power generation requires users to provide materials such as wood and agricultural residues, while the biomass power generation in safe houses is more advanced, as it can recycle household waste and human excrement to generate electricity.
The toilets and special trash cans in the safe house are automatically emptied on a regular schedule and put into the power system.
Even in the absence of wind and sun, and with fuel shortages, living in a safe house means you don't have to worry about running out of electricity, and you don't even have to deal with your everyday garbage anymore—it couldn't be more convenient.
Lin Muyan was very satisfied with this.
Besides, what surprised Lin Muyan was that the safe house also had a complete defense system and combat system.
Those defensive devices and advanced firearms, whose names she couldn't recall and which she had never even seen before, seemed to be ahead of the technology of this era.
Lin Muyan thought to herself that this was probably because of the golden shovel. The safe house renovation contract was dug out with the golden shovel. The golden shovel was definitely a being far beyond this dimension, and the safe house it provided was definitely beyond the scope of current technology.
However, Lin Muyan still planned to prepare some more weapons and armor just in case.
Currently, all she knows is that the three months leading up to the apocalypse will be marked by eerie weather, but perhaps not enough to completely paralyze social order.
Judging from the comments, the apocalypse will last for a very long time. They seem to only know about the first few years of the apocalypse, and no one knows what will happen after that.
Perhaps one day, even safe houses will no longer be safe, and people will be forced to leave them. In that case, items for self-defense will become essential.
However, domestic control over weapons is very strict, so acquiring a batch of cold and hot weapons would require considerable effort.
After tossing and turning for a while, drowsiness overcame her. Just as Lin Muyan was about to lie down and rest, a noise came from outside.
It was Father who had returned, followed by a group of furniture delivery people.
They seemed to know Lin's father very well, laughing and joking as they moved furniture.
"Old Lin is getting better too. Bringing his own daughter back has really made a difference. It seems like the family has suddenly become more prosperous."
"Haha, you know what, when Jiaojiao was around, Lao Lin always looked gloomy every time he went to work, and he was always worried about her. To be honest, Jiaojiao was really a troublemaker, making everyone in the family unhappy. If my daughter were like her, I would have beaten her with a stick long ago. It's just that Lao Lin is too soft-hearted and can't bear to hit her."
"Some children are just here to collect debts. Jiaojiao is one of them. We've never been able to get close to her since she was little. It turns out she's not actually Lao Lin's biological daughter. It's really strange."
Lin Jianbin didn't respond to his coworkers' comments, but he was thinking to himself that perhaps it was destined that his family and Jiaojiao were not meant to be. She was born into a noble family, and the small Lin family couldn't support her.
"By the way, Lao Lin, your daughter's name is Mu Yan, right? Is she doing well here? You mentioned last time that you wanted to rent a luxury apartment in the city. Are you still going to rent one? I happen to know someone who has listings."
Lin Jianbin thought for a moment after hearing this, and said:
"It's up to my daughter to decide this. What if she doesn't like the place I find for her? But thank you for remembering this. I'll ask her about it later."
Lin Muyan, who was inside the house, heard the conversation outside clearly. She didn't expect that her father had been planning to help her rent a place outside, and even a luxury apartment.
Given the Lin family's income, how could they afford to rent a luxury apartment with a monthly rent of tens of thousands? But for her sake, her father didn't care about the money at all.
Lin Muyan's biological parents knew that she was luckier than Shen Jiaojiao, having enjoyed twenty years of wealth and privilege, but they were still willing to empty their savings to make up for her. This selfless affection made Lin Muyan waver.
Doesn't she trust them too much? She still hasn't planned to let them move into the safe house.
Perhaps she doesn't need to think too much, after all, her biological parents are so good, and her older brother and Xiao Nuan are also very good to her.
In the face of an apocalyptic crisis, the Lin family might not even survive the first three months in this kind of bungalow courtyard.
Outside, people were chatting and laughing; it seemed that most of the furniture had already been moved.
After seeing his coworkers off, Lin Jianbin turned and entered the courtyard, where he saw Lin Muyan coming out of the room. He was taken aback.
"Daughter, are you home?"
Lin Muyan nodded and saw that the yard was full of furniture, all made of solid wood. Although it wasn't particularly exquisite, it was sturdy and environmentally friendly.
Lin Jianbin, worried that Lin Muyan might not like this simple style of furniture, rubbed his hands together and explained:
“I bought this from a friend. It was very cheap. Your mom and I discussed it and decided to spend as little money as possible and save the rest for you. You need financial support right now, so be sure to tell me and your mom if you need anything.”
Lin Muyan was somewhat moved, but shook her head and said:
“Dad, I’m not short of money. You and Mom can keep that money for yourselves, buy some new clothes for Xiaonuan, and give some money to my older brother. He just graduated and it’s not easy for him.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianbin felt that his second daughter was too sensible and considerate, and that he shouldn't take his children's money for granted.
“Daughter, Dad knows you're worried about us, but you've just graduated and it's a time when you need money. You don't need to worry about us. Your brother's salary is pretty good, and Xiaonuan is only in elementary school, so she won't need much money. We need to spend money wisely.”
“Dad doesn’t want to lower your standard of living because of us. That would be too unfair to you. By the way, a friend of mine has some nice apartments for rent. Dad, how about I take you to see them? If it’s okay, we can rent them and you can live more comfortably.”
Lin Jianbin naturally hoped that his daughter could stay at home and live with them permanently. They also hoped to make up for the missing twenty years by spending more time with Lin Muyan and cultivating their relationship.
But he also knew that his daughter was used to living in a big house, and it was really too unfair for her to squeeze into a small house in the urban village with them.
The girl is already an adult. Even if her parents want to be close to her, they must know when to stop and not use their parental status to keep their child by their side.
Seeing her father's selfless dedication and concern for her, even wearing tattered clothes, Lin Muyan felt a strange unease.
She took out her phone, opened it, and held it out to Lin's father, saying:
"Dad, I'm not short of money, look."
Lin Jianbin was skeptical, but his gaze fell on the string of numbers on his phone, and his eyes widened suddenly.
My God, how many digits is that? My second daughter is so rich!
