Volume 1_Chapter 18: True Heart for True Heart



Of course, Su Tao just waved her hand and crossed it out.

It's really strange that Li Lianrong actually let Jiang Jinwei move out.

I don't know how her military life was going.

Su Tao didn't expect that she would find out soon. Dang Xingyan, the chatterbox, was complaining while eating dinner:

"That woman was restless. We asked her to do logistics to collect the dead body's equipment. She was so scared that she rushed directly to the boss of the third department. The boss of the third department kicked her away."

Su Tao's mouth twitched.

Cen Tianjiao also bought a lunch box:

"Landlord Su, your place has really changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize it when I first came in."

Su Tao asked: "How long can you stay this time?"

As she said this, she looked at Shi Zijin.

Shi Zijin originally wanted to say that he was worried and wanted to go to the scene again with the special investigation personnel tomorrow.

But looking into Su Tao's eyes, he suddenly couldn't speak. The words turned on his tongue and became:

"Three days."

Su Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she wasn't leaving tomorrow. Her mood improved.

"Have a good rest. I recently bought a game console. Let's play together tomorrow."

She was tired of watching TV, so she searched for a long time in the home improvement store and finally found a game console with more than a hundred mini-games stored in it and four controllers, which was very suitable for multiplayer games.

Shi Zijin couldn't help laughing when he saw that she was as playful as a child.

But the next day, Su Tao had no time to play games because Jiang Ze was put in a sack and tied up at the door by her enthusiastic tenants.

Seeing what Meng Xiaobo threw on the ground - a squirming and groaning human figure in a sack, Su Tao was dumbfounded:

"What are you doing?"

The one who took the lead in putting people in sacks was the military advisor Xing Shuyu.

Lu Tao and others were responsible for the beating.

Meng Xiaobo's girlfriend, Yang Ju, spat at the man on the ground: "Scumbag, you dare to turn the tables? The evildoer is the first to complain. I want him to know the consequences of spreading rumors at will. Close the door and let Xiaobo go!"

Meng Xiaobo bared his teeth and raised his fist as big as a sandbag.

Su Tao was so scared that she almost lost her soul: "Stop! You're going to kill him with this punch! Let him go and teach him a lesson."

Lu Tao flexed his wrists: "I'll do it. I'm not strong enough to kill you."

As he said this, he started punching and kicking him.

There was a bunch of flammable materials stuffed in the sack, and Jiang Ze didn't dare to use his supernatural powers, for fear that he would be disfigured before burning the enemy to death.

As soon as the sack was opened and his mouth loosened, Jiang Ze burst into tears and begged for mercy:

"I really know I'm wrong, everyone, please stop. I swear, if I continue to spread rumors about Taoyang, I'm a pig, I'm a dog, and my whole family will be eaten by zombies."

Su Tao interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop, hurry up..."

Xing Shuyu felt relieved and didn't make things difficult for him. She used a knife to cut the hemp rope that bound his hands and said, "Go away."

Jiang Ze, with a bruised face and nose, crawled away without even daring to look back.

Shi Zijin, who had witnessed the entire process, chuckled, "Boss Su has won over quite a few people."

Su Tao shook his head at him: "I am sincere in return for sincerity. I hope they live well and have a good life. Naturally, they also hope that Taoyang will be well."

Shi Zijin stopped laughing and said, "What if one day one of them harms you?"

Su Tao looked at him: "So what if it's bad for me? I still have to be my landlady and be responsible for every one of my tenants. Major General Shi, isn't it the same for you? You protect so many people, and not all of them are kind. Are you going to give up your career for this?"

Shi Zijin was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, his beautiful and delicate almond-shaped eyes narrowed: "Boss Su is right."

Su Tao raised her chin: "Want to play games with me?"

"I'll go if I team up with you."

——

Su Tao spent two nights to finally finalize the list of fifteen tenants and sent a notice to each of them, asking them to report to Taoyang and register within three days.

At the same time, Shi Ziyue's short-term rental finally expired. Su Tao bought a new single bed according to her expectations, and equipped it with cushions, carpets, a goose yellow three-piece suit, and a soft wool blanket.

Next to the single bed was the desk she had always wanted, with a roller-back chair, and opposite it was a shelf specifically for her books.

The bathroom was separated by a white partition, and a three-layer storage rack was purchased to store the girls' toiletries. The shower room was also replaced with better quality Changhong glass to separate the wet and dry areas.

After all the renovations, the cost would be close to that of Cen Tianjiao's luxurious single room.

Shi Ziyue came back from school in the afternoon. When she opened the door and saw her brand new room, she excitedly took off her shoes and jumped onto the bed. She walked around barefoot and couldn't wait to put the books and miscellaneous items in her schoolbag on the new desk.

"Sister Taozi, you are awesome! I love my room so much! I'm going to invite my classmates to come over and play tomorrow!"

Seeing her so happy, Su Tao felt very satisfied: "Then you can invite a few more classmates and I will prepare delicious food for you."

"Okay!" He started calling his classmates in a hurry, unable to wait a moment.

Shi Zijin leaned against the door and smiled at Su Tao and said:

"Thank you. Ziyue hasn't been this happy in a long time. She hasn't had her own room since she was a child. I raised her at a relative's house before, and she always shared a room and a desk with my cousin. She was often crowded and had no place to put her books."

Su Tao felt very sympathetic, remembering that when she was in the Su family, she had to follow Jiang Jinwei and say nice things to her in order to use her desk for a short while. Usually, she would lift up the bed and lie on the bed to read and do homework.

I hope Taoyang will get better and better, so that more people can have their own private space and belongings.

"Do you have any vacant rooms here? It would be best if three people could stay there." Shi Zijin suddenly asked.

Su Tao shook her head: "Not yet, but it should be available in about a week."

After the next batch of tenants arrive and pay the first month's rent, she will have enough money to upgrade to level 3, and then she will be able to unlock a one-bedroom apartment that can accommodate up to three people, including three.

Shi Zijin nodded. "Then please reserve a room for me. Hu Zi has a sister with two children who are looking for a place to live. After looking around, I think your place is the most suitable. Also, we are planning to give Hu Zi a visit tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

"Come!" Su Tao agreed immediately.

The next day, Su Tao and Shi Ziyue packed up and took the Pioneer Army's car to Dongyang Martyrs Park early.

After the end of the world, land is in short supply, and even the living cannot meet the demand, let alone the dead.

Ordinary people are basically thrown out of the base when they die. Only martyrs like Zhuang Hu are cremated and some of their ashes are preserved in a black box and sent to the Martyrs' Park.

Su Tao stood in the Martyrs' Park and looked over. There were rows of densely packed black boxes, arranged so tightly that people who came to pay their respects had almost no place to step.

Su Tao felt extremely heavy-hearted. She followed everyone in placing Zhuang Hu's ashes in the small empty space that belonged to him, and listened to the funeral host recount his life story.
