"Follow you? What for?" Zheng Quchi was surprised by his invitation.
Gong Chenya's eyes shone brightly: "Didn't Xiao Meng tell you what we do?"
“She said you were scavengers, picking up useful things from all over the place to sell for a living,” Zheng Quchi said.
"yes."
"What are you going to pick up? What items in the camp can you sell for money?"
Gong Chenya smiled mysteriously: "There are plenty more. See those military camp tents? Dismantle them and sell them. There are also wooden poles and various wooden structures. Transport them elsewhere and sell them there too."
"You even sell this?" Zheng Quchi's eyes widened.
These were things she never expected.

Seeing Zheng Quchi's injuries, Xiao Meng looked at her with pity and asked, "Sister Quchi, do you have someone you like?"
Zheng Quchi had had girlfriends before, so she knew that once someone started this conversation, there would definitely be more to it than met the eye.
She immediately replied, "I don't have anyone I like, but I'm already married."
"Really?" Xiao Meng raised her voice excitedly, as if she had been relieved immediately: "Then, that's good."
"What?"
Xiao Meng said shyly, "I... I like Brother Ya'er. I was worried... Sister Chi would try to take him away from me, but now that Chi is married, I'm relieved."
