Chapter 16 Reconstruction
A large crack suddenly appeared in the ground at Huaimeng Market, and several stall owners who often set up stalls there were said to have contracted some kind of vomiting disease and were about to vomit their intestines out. Mo Fei was not short of money anyway.
For more than a week, Mo Fei went out early and came back late every day. Not to mention going home for dinner, her family hardly saw her.
There were even a few days when Mo Fei did not return home at night.
This made Mo Zhicheng very angry.
It was past 12 o'clock that evening when Mo Fei dragged his tired body home and found that the lights in the living room were still on.
"Mom and Dad? Why aren't you asleep yet?" Mo Fei asked doubtfully, "Are you hungry? I'll make you some midnight snacks."
She rolled up her sleeves and immediately wanted to go into the kitchen, but was stopped by Mo Zhicheng: "Come here."
Seeing Song Yi bowing her head and keeping silent, Mo Zhicheng looked unhappy. Mo Fei was really confused and could only sit down on the sofa obediently: "What happened?"
Mo Zhicheng was holding his breath and said, "Tell me the truth, where have you been these past few days? Are you getting along with that beast again?!"
"What?" Mo Fei didn't understand. What beast? There were a lot of plucked animals in her space.
Song Yi winked at Mo Fei.
Mo Zhicheng was so angry that he slammed the table: "Don't do anything under my nose. Mo Fei, tell me yourself. Are you still in contact with that beast?"
Mo Fei now understood why her parents were still waiting here late at night for her to come back.
It turned out that she had reconciled with Jia Nian and Jia Yue's biological father.
Mo Zhicheng was right, this guy was indeed a beast.
"That's not true. I haven't had any contact with that bastard for eight hundred years. Even if he stood in front of me now, I wouldn't be able to recognize him. There's no way I can reconcile with him. Wouldn't I be crazy if I did that?" Mo Fei explained immediately after he understood.
Seeing that his parents' faces had improved, Mo Fei took out the house purchase contract and said, "Actually, I have been busy with this these days. I bought a villa."
When the words "buy a villa" came out, Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng's eyes widened.
These three words have nothing to do with their family of retired workers.
Nowadays, housing prices are rising with every wind, and the cheapest villa costs over 2.5 million.
Mo Zhicheng and Song Yi took a quick look at the contract and found that the single-family villa in the contract covered an area of 200 square meters, plus its own small garden and garage, the usable area was more than 300 square meters. But the price was only 900,000, and it also supported installment payments!
"Fei Fei, have you been cheated by someone?" Song Yi said worriedly.
Mo Fei explained the whole story, omitting the fact that the house was haunted. He only said that the owner felt that the feng shui of the place was bad and he was in a hurry to move to the capital, so he gave it to her.
There are so many things in this world that can be found at bargain prices.
When the old couple heard what Mo Fei said, they put on their reading glasses and read the contract again, and only then did they reluctantly believe it.
Mo Zhicheng asked: "You have only rented this house for a year, why did you buy another one?"
This top-floor apartment of more than 100 square meters is much more comfortable to live in than the old and dilapidated apartment in their community.
Although I didn’t know how to use some of the electrical appliances at first, I’m pretty used to it now.
I didn't expect my daughter to be so opinionated. She acted without consulting me before doing something as big as buying a house, and she bought a villa.
Mo Fei saw that the time was right and told him the news of the impending natural disaster. Song Yi had heard Mo Fei say it before and had believed it long ago, so she didn't think it was a big deal. In order to make Mo Zhicheng believe it, Mo Fei had to spend a lot of time and effort.
Fortunately, the two children also testified and supported the case.
Mo Jianian, in particular, directly put together a collection of various news he had collected on the Internet for Mo Zhicheng to see.
These include various frequent meteorological and geological disasters, strange ground cracks, high temperature warnings that are expected to reach 50 degrees, the recent fever and vomiting epidemic that first spread among the elderly and children, the sudden increase in pet-related injuries, and withered old trees growing several meters tall overnight...
Mo Zhicheng was silent for a long time, which was unusual for him. He still wanted to argue, "This kind of news is all for attracting attention. It's not uncommon in the past."
In fact, he already believed it halfway. After all, recently he saw in the relatives' group and friends' circle that everyone was complaining that they couldn't buy food anywhere.
But Mo Fei seemed to have predicted the future and stockpiled so much food at home.
But Mo Zhicheng learned his lesson after the Mo Qiujin incident. Although he would check the Moments, he would not post any updates of his own.
Even if someone sent him a message to complain, Mo Zhicheng would not mention a word about his family's situation.
"There have been cases before, but not so many, and not so coincidental. Dad, please believe me for once." Mo Fei said firmly, "But it doesn't matter if you don't believe me. The villa will be renovated in five or six days at most, and we will move in next weekend. I will continue to stockpile the necessary supplies, and you can help me take care of the children first."
Mo Fei paused and emphasized again: "Mom and Dad, there is one thing you must promise me. Don't go out before I take you to the villa. Also, don't tell your relatives, friends and your old colleagues where we are moving to. Natural disasters are coming, and the only thing I can do is to isolate potential dangers as much as possible and protect our family of five. Haven't you heard the saying that human hearts are more terrifying than ghosts and gods?"
The whole family nodded.
At this moment, Mo Zhicheng looked at his daughter in front of him and suddenly realized that in the past eight years, his daughter had grown up completely.
She grew from a little girl to the backbone of a family.
Be filial to your parents and love your children. Learn to extract the truth from clues and then prepare for a rainy day.
No matter what their daughter wants to do, they as parents cannot hold her back.
Mo Fei said good night and was about to go back to his room when he heard Mo Zhicheng say, "Actually, the house in Lotus Community is where your mother and I plan to live in our old age. You bought a villa and you want to redecorate it. You said you need so many cooling and heat-proof security equipment. You must be short of money. The relatives of our upstairs neighbor have always wanted to buy that house. I think I should contact them tomorrow to sell the house."
Before Mo Zhicheng finished speaking, Mo Fei already knew what his parents meant.
She shook her head and said, "Mom and Dad, you've already given me 500,000 yuan. That money is your retirement money. It was originally a loan from me. I will find a way to pay the money myself."
It is said that raising children is a way to prepare for old age. Previously, Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng had thought that when they were completely unable to walk, they would sell their house and live in a nursing home together.
But now that his filial daughter is back and his grandchildren are around, their family will live together in the future, so it would be more cost-effective to convert the old house into cash.
This time the old couple gambled everything and had no guarantees at all.
If their daughter was cheated by a man again like she was eight years ago, they would have no place to cry.
But the old couple believed that their daughter would never break up with her family for a man again.
The closest and the farthest are east and west, the deepest and the shallowest are clear streams, the highest and the brightest are the sun and the moon; the closest and the most distant are husband and wife.
Only family members who are related by blood will never betray each other.
Seeing that his parents were determined to exchange the house for cash, Mo Fei hesitated for a moment and then did not refuse.
The next day, Mo Zhicheng hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to his sister Mo Qiujin and niece Chen Bingqing.
They said they had had a fight with Mo Fei and moved back to the Lotus Community, but there was nothing to eat at home, so they only bought a handful of noodles. They hoped that they could help deliver some vegetables and eggs.
"Daughter, did you receive the message from your uncle?" Mo Qiujin called Chen Bingqing.
Chen Bingqing sneered: "Got it. Uncle is really interesting. He thought of us when he quarreled with his daughter. He and my aunt must have been cheated of all their money now. I don't bother to care about them."
"Although they have no money, they still have a house... When they are gone, won't the house be yours? Now is the time for you to show your filial piety." Mo Qiujin calculated.
Chen Bingqing took a look at the several bags of rice, two boxes of instant noodles, and some frozen dumplings and eggs that her family had stockpiled with great difficulty.
These things are so valuable that she doesn't even have enough for herself, so how can she give them to others?
She said impatiently, "Let's talk about it later. I'm busy."
In order to raise enough cash, Mo Zhicheng even sold his five-year-old car. Anyway, according to Mo Fei, renting a car is the most cost-effective now.
Three days later, Mo Fei received two bank transfers.
One was a car payment of 80,000 yuan, and the other was a 50% down payment of 1.6 million yuan for a 100-square-meter house in Lotus Community.
Mo Fei's savings, which had been on the verge of collapse due to the purchase of various steel meshes, glass shards, insulation layers, refrigeration systems, etc., finally became abundant again. A rough estimate showed that these savings plus the maxed-out credit cards were barely enough to transform the villa into the basic version that Mo Fei wanted.
She was wearing a light blue sun-protective clothing and holding an umbrella, standing outside her villa and watching the construction team coming in and out.
There were a few talkative people in the construction team who asked Mo Fei if he wanted to build this into a bunker.
Mo Fei smiled and explained that he wanted to run a homestay and open a post-apocalyptic script-killing shop, so he pretended like that.
Now a 2-meter-high and 50-centimeter-thick steel fence has been built outside the villa. Sharp glass fragments are embedded on the outside and top of the fence, and a steel wire mesh with electrified iron bars is also pulled up.
The main entrance to the villa is an explosion-proof door that can be unlocked by facial recognition, password, and mobile phone remote control.
After real money was spent, so many kinds of protection surrounded the entire villa like an iron barrel.
Heat-resistant and cold-resistant solar panels have been installed on the roof of the villa, and more than 10 batteries are stored. Normally, the power system of the entire house can be driven by solar power.
Diesel generators are a backup option when solar energy is unable to generate electricity, especially when it is cloudy and rainy.
The upper three floors and the basement of the villa are all installed with insulation layers, fresh air systems, air-conditioning systems, floor heating systems... The doors and windows have been replaced with top-level anti-theft windows.
Except for the bedroom and toilet, every corner is monitored. Once a face or moving creature that does not belong to the Mo family is identified, the alarm will be sounded immediately.
In the courtyard of the villa, Mofei also laid a rainwater storage and wastewater recycling filtration system.
These alone cost Mo Fei more than 2 million yuan, which was several times higher than the total price of the villa.
But Mo Fei was very satisfied with the results of the transformation.
This place has become a small paradise.
If she could get some firearms, she would even want to set up two cannons in the yard, but it was just an idea.
After the construction team left, Mo Fei watched the people from the cleaning company clean the villa from top to bottom, and then told them that they didn't need to come over in the future.
Looking at the newly renovated villa, Mo Fei's heart, which had been depressed for a long time, finally felt a little relieved.
"Mom and Dad, are you ready? I'll come pick you up now." Mo Fei drove the rented seven-seater car.
