As soon as the old man said this, the people around him immediately started talking.
No one pointed fingers or criticized, after all, no one wanted to cause trouble.
"Is this true? You can't even support your own father? What's the reason?"
"Who knows? Look at her. She's dressed neatly and respectably, but the old man is so skinny."
Seeing that Luo Fanchen was silent and struggling, the old man shouted even more hoarsely:
"She ran off with a man who gave her a lot of points. She doesn't want me anymore. She has points but she won't give them to me. What an unfilial daughter! How can I live? Wuuwu ...
Luo Fanchen was about to cry, his eyes were red with anxiety:
"Don't listen to him. I've given him a lot of points. He's been gambling with others, and he won't listen to me no matter how hard I try."
Finally, someone in the crowd spoke up, but their tone was just persuasive:
"Then you can't just ignore him, at least give him something to eat, after all, he's your father."
"No, he almost starved my mother and brother to death because of his gambling. Why should I give him money?"
Seeing that she was determined not to give it to him, the old man threw in the towel:
"You bitch, you slept with so many men and sold yourself out. What's wrong with giving me some points? I've raised you for so many years, and you're as heartless as your mother. You live in the villa complex and left me out here to die. I went looking for you, but you wouldn't even let me through the gate. I caught you here today, and if I don't give you points, you can't leave."
The old man cursed for a long time but seeing that no one was moved, he gradually turned to begging:
"My dear daughter, please give me some points. Just a little. I will pay you back and never gamble again. Believe me. This time, you really believe me."
Luo Fanchen's tears flowed down in an instant, and he looked so pitiful that the men who were talking beside him just now fell silent.
"I've given you chances, many times. Every time you said it was the last time, but that time you didn't just turn around and continue gambling."
The old man stopped pretending this time. He stood up from the ground and slapped Luo Fanchen in the face.
Luo Fanchen was knocked off balance by this blow.
This was not the end. When the old man raised his hand again and prepared to hit, he was stopped by the patrol team who came over:
"I'm from the base patrol. What are you doing here? Provoking disturbances will be punished. Anyone who fights in the street will have to do construction work for seven days."
He Xiaobei really wouldn't care about this matter. After all, it was someone else's family affair, and she had to solve it herself. Otherwise, it would be endless. No one could protect someone for a lifetime.
However, when she saw the patrol team coming, she felt it was a pity. It was not that it was a pity that there was no fun, but that the old man would definitely continue to make trouble in the future.
She glanced at the patrol team members and found that she actually recognized them. Wasn't this the Captain Tang Zhou who had confiscated her gun not long ago?
She smiled, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, not wanting to watch anymore.
As she walked, she smacked her lips. Why did the family structure of Luo Fanchen sound so familiar?
Shaking her head, she didn't think about it anymore and went straight home.
The land in He Xiaobei's space is now planted with vegetables, and the medicinal herbs are still the same as before and are never planted again.
The main reason is that she is not short of points now, so she doesn't need to exchange things or bases.
After harvesting vegetables one after another, she has become much more skilled than before and her planting techniques are getting better and better.
But this good thing is different from the good thing that others say, because she used to grow seedlings and then transplanted them into the black soil.
Later, she simply skipped this step and just scattered a handful of seeds on the ground.
Then she found that the vegetables could still grow well from the soil, they just needed to be thinned out and then planted in the empty spaces.
So this is also a kind of progress, right? He Xiaobei regards this as a sign of his good skills.
The heavy rain lasted for two months before it gradually subsided. He Xiaobei walked along the street and saw that every household started to use various containers to collect rainwater and then store it.
This is probably the aftermath of a natural disaster, caused by water shortages during extremely hot periods.
Although there is not such a shortage of water now, the base has not been flooded, so you still need to pay for drinking water when the rain stops.
It rained heavily for two months, and the water was much deeper than last year. It used to take about two hours to drive from the base to the waterline.
The waterlogging line is now only a two-hour walk from the base, so the number of wild beasts outside the base is increasing.
Danger does exist, but not being able to survive is more terrifying. Now, every day, people who go out hunting form long queues in the base.
It's almost the end of the year, and He Xiaobei plans to go out and buy some things, pay the electricity bill, and renew the rent of the villa for one year.
What she didn't expect was that the prices of supplies had increased again. This was the second consecutive sharp increase in just half a year.
The material exchange office was crowded with people and everyone was wailing.
She also squeezed in to take a look, and this time the price increased even more than the previous two times.
Pure rice is already 30 points per kilogram, and mixed rice is 22 points per kilogram.
The price of multi-grain cakes has also increased from 0.5 points to 0.75 points each.
However, the price of meat did not increase much, probably because there are more animals outside now and the base has also harvested a lot.
But even with the price increase, there were still long queues at the supply purchasing windows.
The staff in the hall had just seen off a customer when they saw He Xiaobei in the crowd.
He quickly walked over with a smile on his face:
"Ms. He, are you here to buy something again? What do you need this time? You don't have to wait in line. Just give me your shopping list and I'll arrange for delivery."
He Xiaobei certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, and her purchase list this time was longer than ever before.
The excuse is that they are afraid of future price increases, and the extreme cold is about to come, so in the eyes of outsiders, these things will not go bad if they are left there.
So this time she directly bought 4,000 kilograms of rice, 500 kilograms each of pork, beef and mutton, and told them that the meat could be delivered a few days later, when the weather got colder.
These things directly cost her 200,000 points. Adding to what she spent before, she now has 220,000 points left in her card.
Finally, she decided to purchase some supplies from the base whose prices would increase in the future, namely diesel.
Anyway, it's going to be extremely cold, so both power generation and cars are needed.
Diesel wouldn't be noticeable either, those hilltop people bought more than she did.
Finally, she bought another 150,000 points worth of diesel and asked them to deliver it to her home.
Points stored in the card will always be just points. It is safest to keep them in your own space.
