Chapter 805: Volcanic Eruption. Hateful Looks
When Old Chu heard the familiar voice, he completely forgot about the annoying people around him and hurried to greet the two children, "Xiao An, Xiao Ye, you are back. Are you injured? Where is Mou Ci? Are the people in the outer city okay? How are Chu Huan, Bai Yang and the others?"
Chu An and Gu Ye were wearing protective clothing, so it was indeed difficult to identify them.
She peeled back the felt of her protective suit, unzipped it, and exposed her cheeks so that her voice could be heard farther.
"Well, we are back and we are not injured. The people you mentioned are all fine." Chu An responded to Lao Chu seriously.
"Okay, that's good, great." They hadn't been apart for so long since they met again, and there was that damn volcanic ash.
Everyone around was looking at them, including the Sun family’s salesperson. How could it be that the two of them were not wearing their own protective clothing?
He remembered that the government had promised the Sun family that it would not purchase protective clothing or respiratory masks from outside the city for the time being.
Moreover, he felt that since these two people came in, the eyes of the people in front of him had become different, as if they saw some hope.
He hated this look, "Who are you?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Old Chu retorted, "You're meddling in a lot of matters."
With Xiao An around, he feels confident.
The Sun family salesperson questioned, "You... don't you know that the inner city is not allowed to buy and sell protective clothing from other bases? If you are caught, you will be fined."
"Why? Without the Sun family, we would all be dead." Old Chu looked at him like a fool. "The Sun family took advantage of the natural disaster to monopolize the market and make money from the national crisis. Sooner or later, they will be extinct. You will also suffer retribution sooner or later."
"That... has nothing to do with you." Lao Chu thought of Gu Ye's identity and explained in a low voice, "Good people don't count."
"I'm fine, Uncle Chu." He no longer considered himself the grandson of the Sun family.
Gu Ye handed the cart to Dachun, on which were three large cardboard boxes half a person's height.
Dachun called on a few of his men to open the boxes together. Their eyes lit up, but they did not dare to exclaim in surprise. They gave each other a look that said you know what I mean: protective suits... They are really protective suits, and there are so many of them.
"You...you are so bold that you dare to insult the Sun family." The Sun family salesperson pointed at them and said viciously, "I will report this to the higher-ups. You will be put on the Sun family's blacklist and will never be able to buy protective clothing in the inner city again."
Old Chu looked at Chu An, and Chu An shrugged. The deterrent effect of this threat was almost zero. If she wanted it, she could get it anyway, including the entire Sun family factory.
Seeing that his daughter didn't care, Old Chu gave Sun's salesperson a meaningful smile and said, "Whatever you want."
The Sun family salesperson was so angry that he hurried to the workbench to find the staff. The people around him were dumbfounded. These people were not even afraid of the Sun family. Did they offend them just now?
The Wei family, who had really offended others, winked at each other, feeling that things were beyond their expectations. They had to think of a way to help the Sun family and not let the points they had obtained fly away.
"Little girl, is what you just said true? Is there really no one injured outside?" The aunt who was worried about her son just now asked Chu An.
"Not yet." She gave an affirmative answer, thought for a moment and said, "In two days, all residents of the outer city will be relocated, and protective clothing will be distributed here. If you have surplus food or insufficient points, I suggest you wait."
"Really? Just wait two more days?" They had comforted themselves before, but two days after two days, it was almost a month.
If the Sun family had not secretly allocated personnel to produce advanced protective clothing, the output of ordinary protective clothing could have doubled, and it would not have taken so long to transport.
Chu An just made some guesses and didn't say much.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. What does she know?" Wei Shutian didn't want to lose the points she had earned, so she retorted in a shrill voice, "These people don't look like good people at first glance. How can you trust them!"
"How come your eyes are so powerful that they can tell the good from the bad?" Dachun's men couldn't help it. They pinched and unclenched their fingers. If Feng Zhuo hadn't been intimidating with his eyes all the time, they would have beaten this woman so badly that even her mother wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Now that their boss is looking at Miss Chu and the others, he should be able to speak.
"That's right, who do you think you are, complaining here?" As one person spoke, the others followed suit and cursed.
"Get away, stay away from us, die..."
He wanted to curse the bitch, but then he remembered that Boss Feng asked them to be more civilized, so he changed it temporarily to "You shameless bitch, stop getting in the way here."
Gu Ye was right next to the swearing young man and almost laughed out loud, while Chu An raised his eyebrows.
Wei Shutian's face flushed red, and she stamped her feet in anger, "You...you are just a bunch of hooligans."
"You know we are gangsters, why don't you get away from us?" Gu Ye pulled out a black stone dagger from his waist and deliberately swung it twice. Wei Shutian screamed and stepped back in fear.
Gu Ye helped to cut off the transparent tape next to the cardboard box to make it easier to open it wider.
Not only did she and Gu Ye bring protective clothing, they also put steamed buns, braised beef in soy sauce, and chili sauce at the bottom of the box, but everyone was busy putting them on and taking them from top to bottom, so they didn't see it.
"Hey, what is this?" Someone widened his eyes in surprise and hurriedly pulled the person next to him, "White... white steamed bun."
The person next to him just picked up four sets of clothes and handed them to his companions who were waiting behind him, "What white steamed buns? Hurry up and take out the clothes and count how many there are in total to see if they are enough."
The man also thought he was dazzled, after all, the protective suit and the steamed buns were both white.
He flipped it down again and his eyes widened even more. There were not only buns but also meat underneath.
He quickly closed the box and looked for Chu An and Gu Ye in the crowd. They all knew who provided them with food and drink these days and kept it in mind.
"This is all for you." Before he could see anyone, Gu Ye's voice rang out behind him, "Eat and drink, then we'll go."
"What to eat?" asked Lao Chu.
Gu Ye asked the stunned people beside the box to take out the remaining protective suits inside to reveal the food underneath.
The steamed buns were packed in plastic bags, two large bags, with about 100 of them. The braised beef was packed in transparent plastic boxes, as big as shoe boxes, with four of them, and finally, there were more than a dozen bottles of various brands of chili sauce and rice sauce.
"I bought these on Xiaoan Road. Let's fill our stomachs first."
The people around started drooling just by seeing the things being taken out.
"Thank you for your hard work." Old Chu patted Gu Ye's shoulder and turned to look at his daughter, not knowing what else to say except thank you.
The people who were around were watching them share steamed buns, beef, and the bright red chili sauce with great envy. They wondered how satisfied they would be if they could have a bite of it.
From the end of the world to now, salt and seasonings have always been scarce resources.
At this moment, Sun’s sales representative forcibly dragged the person in charge over and pointed at Chu An and the others to complain.
"They are privately buying and selling protective clothing here. Catch them quickly."
What is that? It smells so good!
When the salesperson from the Sun family saw that they were holding steamed buns in one hand and braised beef in the other, their three views were shattered.
Chu An came out and said, "We bought the protective clothing and food ourselves, we didn't steal or rob, I don't know which law of the Sheng Tang Dynasty we violated?
As for why there are protective suits in circulation, you should know better than me. "
"We sell high-end protective clothing, and you can tell at a glance that yours is not," said the Sun family salesperson.
"Whoever reported it must provide evidence. Please show us the evidence."
The person in charge was brought here under duress, and he looked at the Sun family salesperson impatiently, "Yes, what evidence do you have?"
"I…"
"Aren't you selling high-end protective clothing? Take out your own protective clothing for comparison," Wei Shutian suddenly said, and thought he had come up with a good idea. Unexpectedly, the salesperson from the Sun family almost turned green in the face.
"Yes, take it out and compare it."
"Yes... yes, what's right? Our protective clothing... every batch... every batch is not much different." The Sun family salesperson said stutteringly. Fortunately, he was wearing protective clothing and others could not see his expression.
