As expected, Li Lianrong came running over with red eyes, grabbed Su Tao's arm, and burst into tears:
"Taotao, where have you been these days? Do you know that your sister joined the pioneer army in your place? I'm begging you, as long as you're willing to come back, your sister's house will be yours to live in. You'll have everything your sister has, okay? I was biased in the past and didn't take care of you. Can you please forgive me?"
Su Tao was so angry that she almost laughed, and shook her hand away:
"Go back? Go back to exchange for Jiang Jinwei? You don't realize you're wrong at all, and you don't think you're biased. You just want me to soften my heart and make me take the initiative to exchange for Jiang Jinwei's life! You don't care whether I live or die!"
Li Lianrong almost forgot to cry. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word. After a long while, she murmured:
"Taotao? How did you become like this?"
"Think I'm disobedient? Out of your control? Li Lianrong, sometimes I wonder if you're really my biological mother? Did I ever stay in your belly? To the point where you treat me like this? Now that I'm finally feeling better, you're jumping out and ruining my life."
Li Lianrong was stunned for a moment, then took a moment to react and said, "Are you doing well? The man you found treats you well?"
Su Tao was choked. What was this? She didn't quite understand.
"Who are you looking for? I heard someone say last time that you were talking to several men from the Pioneer Army at Gate No. 3. Which one of them did you look for? Does he have a military rank?" Li Lianrong had relied on men all her life, and the only reason she could think of for Su Tao to have a good life was this: the man she hooked up with was rich and powerful.
Shi Ziyue, who was standing by, also understood. She was always shy and stood in front of Su Tao, raised her voice and said to Li Lianrong:
"My sister Taozi doesn't rely on men at all. She has her own house and money. My brother, a major general, still had to beg her for a room to live in. She is living a good life now and doesn't need you family members. Please don't come to her in the future."
These words contained so much information that Li Lianrong was stunned.
My daughter, who was kicked out a few days ago, not only found a man with a military rank, but also bought a house? From the tone of her voice, it seems she has more than one?
Li Lianrong felt that it was a lie and boast, and the boasting was so outrageous, but she could not refute it.
Su Tao ignored her and walked away holding Shi Ziyue's hand.
On the way, Ziyue was carefully observing Su Tao's expression, wanting to say something but not daring to.
Su Tao laughed: "Don't hold it in, just say whatever you want to say."
Shi Ziyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't be sad, Sister Taozi. My brother and I will be your family from now on."
Su Tao's eyes instantly became warm, as if some emotion had burst out.
"Thank you, Ziyue."
When Shi Zijin came back, he saw his sister and his landlord, who were as close as conjoined twins.
When Su Tao saw him coming back, she carefully checked his body from head to toe. She was relieved to find no obvious injuries.
It seems that this mission went smoothly.
Then he greeted the new tenants with a smile, the twin brothers Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou who shared the double room.
The older brother is named Zhou Hai and the younger brother is named Zhou Yang. The twin brothers look exactly the same and are almost indistinguishable.
Both of them were not very talkative and seemed a little mentally unstable. They took the door card, lowered their heads, and walked into the house holding their luggage.
Shi Zijin said, "Don't mind. The two brothers didn't have a good background. Their mother was killed by desperadoes when they were very young and fed to zombies for fun in front of them. After we rescued them, their mental state became a little unstable, but they won't actively hurt anyone. They are very quiet and obedient, and they are also very powerful."
Su Tao immediately felt more sympathy for the two of them, and asked curiously:
"What are their special abilities?"
"Space tearing. The two of them can tear the space apart together and teleport us to other places within a certain range. It's very suitable for escaping when we can't win." He smiled, and his almond-shaped eyes were tinged with a mischievous look.
Su Tao thought that it was indeed a very powerful supernatural power.
I'm so envious, but I don't know if she will awaken her special powers. People say that eighteen is a hurdle. If she can awaken in this year, then she has achieved success. If she can't, she will be an ordinary person for the rest of her life.
Well, she can't be too greedy. She already has the landlady system. It would be a bit unsatisfied to ask for superpowers.
"Then what is your special ability?" Su Tao asked again.
Shi Zijin looked at her for two seconds and said, "It's a military secret. Do you want to know? You have to sign a confidentiality agreement after listening to it."
Su Tao quickly interrupted him: "Forget it, let's talk about other things. I have built two new rooms, one double room and one single room. You can decide which brother to give them to."
Finally, it was decided that the single room would be given to the healing teammate named Jian Kaiyu, who looked a bit bookish and was the smallest among the team members.
Su Tao still remembers how he pounded the ground and cried when Achi died. He was a man of true nature.
The double rooms were assigned to the team's shooters, one named Dang Xingyan and the other named Zhuang Hu.
Dang Xingyan is just like his name, he loves to talk and can't stop once he starts chatting. He is also very picky and found a lot of faults in the big wardrobe in the room. Su Tao rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Zhuang Hu is a taciturn person. When he speaks in a hurry, he can only breathe heavily. He is an honest man.
At this point, Shi Zijin's people were completely arranged, and Su Tao also received 25,000 federal coins.
The total assets also reached more than 28,000 federal coins.
You are halfway to the next upgrade!
Su Tao was very happy. If she worked harder and reached level 3, she would be able to unlock a one-bedroom suite and a store for toiletries and daily necessities.
With more than 20,000 federal coins in hand, Su Tao became much more generous and immediately expanded the site to include 5 double rooms and 2 single rooms.
Total assets will be reduced by -17,000 federal coins immediately.
It cost another 10,100 federal coins to complete the renovation according to the standards, and all of them were put on monthly rental mode.
In the end, Su Tao had less than a thousand federal coins left on her.
Su Tao felt a pang of pain for only a moment, but then she became happy again when she thought that she had 7 empty rooms that had not been rented out, and that she would immediately make money as long as they were rented out.
She immediately called Shi Ziyue to go with her to the gate of Taoyang and post a rental advertisement, explaining the room configuration and price, and asked anyone in need to fill in relevant personal information and contact her.
Su Tao is developing her landlord business thrivingly, but Shi Zijin is on edge as he listens to the clerk's research report on the crystal core of the evolved zombie he killed.
"Major General Shi, this is the most successfully evolved zombie we've discovered in the past twenty years since the apocalypse. Furthermore, from the flesh and blood you brought back, we discovered that its DNA is rapidly recombinating and mutating. Perhaps this isn't an isolated case; a new wave of zombie evolution is coming."
