Chapter 163 Routine Supplies
"Yes." Lu Weiyi had experienced the end of the world once, so he was still a little obsessed with supplies. He didn't care about small things, but it was impossible for him to give up a large amount of supplies.
"...Since Ji Jin can't get it, I'm afraid your father and grandfather will have to step in," Zhuang Mingxu said carefully. Ji Heng hadn't come for such a long time. Zhuang Mingxu guessed that on the one hand, the supplies were not lacking, and on the other hand, it must be under the control of Grandpa Ji. If this old man who was the only one who was good to Lu Weiyi stepped in...
"Don't pay attention to them," Lu Weiyi said expressionlessly, and asked again, "Should we go get those supplies that others have sealed up?"
"What do you think?" Zhuang Mingxu asked the others in the living room.
"Yes," Xu Sa spoke first.
The others looked at each other and most of them nodded. They all had the same idea. After all, a large amount of supplies were sealed up, and going to such a place once would be more worthwhile than sweeping the streets for a whole day.
"The question is, will those who stay in the base get into trouble?" Li Zhuang expressed Lu Weiyi's concerns. "We will have to stay in the base in the future. If we offend the major families that support the base, it will not be good for us. Besides, we are few in number, and those of us who stay in the base will become our weak point."
"Yeah." Lu Weiyi nodded and looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu touched Lu Weiyi's hair, feeling somewhat relieved that Lu Weiyi could consider these things. After a moment, he said cunningly, "Then let's fish in troubled waters and not let others guess that it was us who did it."
Wu Yue turned to look at Zhuang Mingxu, "What suggestions do you have?"
"It just so happens that you have caused a conflict between the Ji family and the Li family. Then go and take the supplies of the Li family and push the blame onto the Ji family." After Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Weiyi. Seeing that he really didn't seem to care, he became more certain of what Ning Yuan had said before. "The other families have conflicts with each other, so when the time comes, just provoke and magnify them and attack from behind."
Zhuang Mingxu was very good at figuring out how to set traps for his opponents. He immediately explained several plans to a group of "country bumpkins", each one more despicable than the last, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, and before it could be implemented, it started to rain heavily the next day.
"It's a good thing we're back, otherwise we'd be trapped outside in this weather." Ning Yuan stood under the door, training his supernatural powers with Gu Qingyue facing the rain.
"I feel like the temperature has dropped again," Gu Qingyue said, rubbing his arms in a single layer of clothing, "Isn't it going to turn into winter?"
"I would believe you if you said it would snow right away." Although Ning Yuan said this, his look of sadness could not be concealed. Under extremely uncontrollable weather, the future seemed even more uncertain.
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door. "Aren't you all home?"
"Antonio and Dean are in the trading hall," Gu Qingyue said, controlling his water-based abilities to condense into a circle of water curtain, which covered his head like an invisible umbrella, and walked towards the gate.
There was a security guard at the door. I didn't know his name, but he looked familiar.
"Is there something wrong?" Gu Qingyue asked.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Weiyi's grandfather asked me to pass on a message to him, asking him to go home today," said the man outside the door.
Gu Qingyue raised his eyebrows and nodded, "I understand, thank you."
Ning Yuan, who followed over, sneered when he heard this and asked, "Who asked you to pass the message? A young one or a middle-aged one?"
"It's Ji Jin," the man said the name directly, smiled, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered and said again, "There's a girl standing at the gate. She's been standing there for a day. She wants to see Mr. Lu Weiyi. Do you need to let her in?"
Almost everyone in the team who had entered and exited the villa saw Yun Lu and others there, but Lu Weiyi did not react. Out of consideration for Zhuang Mingxu, no one took the initiative to bring it up.
Ning Yuan glanced at Gu Qingyue and saw that Gu Qingyue turned his head away, looking uninvolved, so he took the initiative to say, "I don't know her, let her go."
The man nodded and walked away in the rain.
The two returned, and Gu Qingyue stood under the door again to practice his supernatural powers. Ning Yuan stood there for a while, and finally returned to the villa to convey this message to Lu Weiyi, but he carefully concealed the matter of Yun Lu.
However, Lu Weiyi, who was playing chess with Zhuang Aiyi, just responded lightly, "Oh", and then there was no further reaction.
When Ji Zhong spoke, everyone thought that Lu Weiyi would definitely come back. The whole family waited until dark, but no one showed up.
"Are you sure you have informed him?" Ji Heng saw that Ji Zhong looked unhappy and questioned Ji Jin with a cold face.
"How would I know? I gave the security guard a pack of instant noodles to get him to come to me. He said he told Lu Weiyi." Now that his family relies on Ji Jin for food, he has the confidence to speak. "It may be that they don't want to come at all. So many supplies have to be returned. Wouldn't it be better to swallow them themselves..."
"Shut up!" Ji Zhong scolded Ji Jin and said frustratedly, "Xiao Yi...maybe he was delayed by something. I'll ask him tomorrow. Let's eat first."
"Grandpa, stop comforting yourself. He never took the initiative to visit you before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, he has been back to the base for so long, and he hasn't even paid any attention to you. Only you still regard him as your favorite." Ji Jin ruthlessly exposed Ji Zhong's face-saving words.
"You..." Ji Zhong was so angry at his words that he couldn't say a word. Just at this moment, Jiang Fu, Jiang Li and Liu Yu brought out the dinner they had prepared.
Plates of small breads that were obviously taken out of the packaging bags were brought out, which stunned everyone present.
"There's no food at home? What are these?" Ji Heng asked Jiang Fu with a frown.
Jiang Fu had no idea that Lu Weiyi would not come. After discussing with Jiang Li, she decided to go with the "extremely poor" approach. She prepared a few packs of bread and put them on a plate as dinner, thinking that she could cry poor in front of Lu Weiyi.
"What else can we do? All the supplies in the house were robbed by your good son. How can we have anything to eat?" Jiang Li said unforgivingly, "If you have the ability, go ask him for it. Who among those working in the Green Land Community doesn't know what the only team eats all day?"
"He's eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks all day long, and you're here giving your wife and son the cold shoulder. What kind of man are you? If you have the guts, call him back. Isn't it natural for a son to take care of his parents? If you keep yelling here, can Jiang Fu make food for you?"
"Okay, Jiang Li..." Old Master Jiang couldn't bear it anymore. After scolding Jiang Li, he turned around and advised Ji Zhong, "Go and ask tomorrow. I heard that Xiao Lu is a very filial child. He will definitely not ignore you."
"Dad, let's eat." Jiang Mo, who had been silent all the time, picked up the bread on his plate and started eating, interrupting Grandpa Jiang's words of comfort.
"Uncle, it's fine that you don't help me usually, but you even led the team away by yourself yesterday and didn't care at all about our supplies being stolen." Ji Jin was also very angry with Jiang Mo. Jiang Mo's ability was stronger than his. If he could have helped him a little, he wouldn't have been beaten.
Jiang Mo glanced at his nephew who was confused about the situation, then turned to look at Grandpa Jiang, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to take Liu Yu and Xiao Xiao to live outside, do you want to come with us?"
"What do you mean? What will happen to me if you leave? What about your niece? We are an orphan and a widow. Isn't this asking us to die?" Before Grandpa Jiang could say anything, Jiang Li broke down and started crying.
"You still know that you eat my food and drink my drinks? I thought that what elder sister ate and drank every day fell from the sky. You eat my food and drink my drinks, and bully my wife and children. Do you think I am blind?" Jiang Mo finished eating the bread on his plate and said coldly.
She stood up and took a look at Jiang Li who was howling, and said to old lady Jiang who was about to persuade her, "Mom, you don't have to say anything. Liu Yu and Xiao Xiao go out to work for others every day, and then come back to serve the whole family. Which of you haven't seen it? It's been so long since the end of the world, and you still can't understand the situation? Then you can continue to dream of being a lady."
"If you and dad come with me, I will support you and try my best to make sure you have enough to eat. If you don't come with me, then you can follow whoever is willing to support you."
"Xiao Mo, your elder sister..." Old Master Jiang wanted to say a few more words of advice.
"My elder sister can get enough to eat by being picky about food, but I can't do that." Jiang Mo had no intention of compromising. He turned to look at his wife Liu Yu and said, "Take Xiaoxiao to pack up. We'll leave soon."
"Uncle, if you leave now, we won't give you a single cent of the supplies we had before." Ji Jin was still thinking of relying on Jiang Mo to keep the business going, but she didn't expect that he would just quit.
"Heh..." Jiang Mo felt that his nephew really didn't understand the situation. "Ji Jin, do you really think Lu Weiyi will return the supplies? Ask your mother what she has done to him? As for the others..." Jiang Mo glanced at Ji Heng and Ji Zhong and sneered, "How shameless..."
"Little brother..." Jiang Fu's face suddenly changed.
Jiang Mo looked at her speechlessly, "Killing is not against the law nowadays. If you really have self-awareness, you should stay away from him while he is ignoring you and leave yourself a way to survive. Don't come closer."
While they were talking, Liu Yu and Jiang Xiaoxiao came over, each carrying two bags.
"Mom and Dad, I'll ask you one last time, are you leaving or not?" Jiang Mo asked as he took the bag from Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Xiaomo, it's not that bad..."
"Just think of me as a coward. I'm afraid of Lu Weiyi's revenge. If you don't want to leave, just stay here. Don't get involved in other people's affairs. You all know the disgusting things your daughter has done. If others take revenge on you, I won't be able to protect you." Jiang Mo said coldly, and left in the rain with Liu Yu and Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Mo's reminder might have worked for a second, but faced with a table full of inedible food and the possibility of starvation in the future, the only thing the few people without the ability to work could think of was to cling to him.
Ji Zhong was stimulated by Jiang Mo's words. At first, he really didn't plan to disturb Lu Weiyi again, but his son who was almost fifty years old was crying in front of him, and he couldn't say no.
It rained heavily all night and showed no sign of stopping the next day. This might be a disaster for other odd jobs, but for the only team, it was a rare day of rest.
Except for those who had been busy at the base, the rest of the team went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep after dinner.
