Chen Jiaojiao covered her face, glared at Li Zhenzhen hatefully, and then ran back to her room.
She had already made up her mind that Li Zhenzhen wanted to get rid of the past, such as how her daughter Li Ke with Mo Qing had grown up well, but she treated her very badly.
For example, when she and her mother were bullied together, she killed the white man; there was also the hidden story behind her brother's disappearance, and the death of her mother-in-law.
Gao Ren knew some of these things, and she knew them all. Now that Gao Ren is dead, she is the only one left who knows the truth.
She couldn't forget Gao Ren's unseeing face. Although Gao Ren was a ruthless killer, he was genuinely good to Li Zhenzhen. Chen Jiaojiao felt that since Li Zhenzhen could kill Gao Ren so easily, her future was also uncertain.
She had originally intended to use what she knew to make Li Zhenzhen pay more attention to her, but now it seemed that her mother had the upper hand over her. That made sense, since her good life was brought to her by her mother, she naturally couldn't ruin her mother and all of this.
After returning to her room, Chen Jiaojiao locked the bedroom door, moved the dressing table behind the door to block it, and then lay down on the bed to clear her mind.
Sometimes she knew that something was wrong with her, but she couldn't stop thinking about it. She had no one to talk to or vent to. Her dreams were full of dead people and blood, Gao Ren's face, her mother's cold back, and herself left in a pile of dead bodies.
Li Zhenzhen sat there for a while, pinching her brow, before letting out a long sigh and walking towards the bedroom. She had just been so angry.
Thinking about Jiao Jiao's recent unusual behavior, Li Zhenzhen decided to have a good talk with her tomorrow morning. No matter what, this is her daughter whom she has spoiled since childhood. Although she may find her annoying and resentful, Li Zhenzhen has never thought of giving up on her.
The next morning, Li Zhenzhen got up early and prepared a lavish breakfast, which consisted of two fried eggs, a can of meat, a plate of fried bread slices, a plate of pickled vegetables, and two bowls of white porridge.
At times like these, this breakfast is truly lavish. For those in other districts, they might not get an egg or a piece of meat in a whole year.
But in the central area, it's quite ordinary. Li Zhenzhen has seen some people dump their kitchen waste, and from those few remnants, you can tell that they still have eggs and meat at every meal.
After having dinner with Chen Jiaojiao, Li Zhenzhen spoke to her gently and frankly, explaining that it hadn't been easy for her and her daughter to get to where they were now, and that this was the best life they could possibly have.
Li Zhenzhen hopes that Jiaojiao can cherish her current life. If she has any thoughts or grievances, she can talk to her about them, and they can work together to find a solution. They shouldn't let the problem get bigger and bigger.
The outcome seemed positive; Chen Jiaojiao admitted her mistake, and Li Zhenzhen wore a gentle smile. The mother and daughter appeared to have reconciled as before.
Li Zhenzhen told Jiaojiao to get ready to go out. She needed to ask Mo Bao'er for leave first, and then take Chen Jiaojiao to meet her relatives.
Originally, she didn't want Jiaojiao to go because she was still a little worried, but Jiaojiao was Chen Niansheng's daughter, so it wouldn't be right for her not to show up.
The motorcycle's tires were worn and corroded by rainwater, which affected riding. Since it was inconvenient for Li Ke to take a spare tire from his own space, he had to apply for one at the supplies office in another district.
The application process went smoothly. She had a points card that Mo Bao'er had given her, which she could easily redeem or spend within the base.
The next day, Li Ke went to pick up the new tires. He hadn't gone far when Mo Cheng called him back.
When Mo Cheng heard that Li Ke was going to change her tires, he immediately offered to go with her and help her out.
Mo Cheng's feelings towards Li Ke are quite complicated. He admires him sincerely, but things have been really chaotic lately. Because of Li Ke's tough style, Mo Cheng has never doubted that this man is not a real man.
For example, just now, when he saw Li Ke's back, from calling out to her to greeting her, he didn't have the slightest thought that she was a woman.
It wasn't until Li Ke said she needed to change a tire and he offered to help that he realized Li Ke was a woman!
Mo Cheng patted his head: "Sigh, Brother Li, seeing you like this, I really find it hard to imagine that you're not a man."
Li Ke glanced at him and said, "Be careful what you say. I'm your older brother Li, how can I not be a man?"
Mo Cheng looked around before apologizing, "I'm sorry, I was careless for a moment, I won't say it again."
Whether others can tell is their business. When Li Ke is out in public, she still needs to use the identity of Li Jia. She has also told Mo Qing and the others that she is still a man in public.
As they walked, Mo Cheng noticed that there weren't many people on the road, so he quietly told Li Ke about setting off as the advance team to the safe zone, and then sincerely extended an invitation to Li Ke.
Upon hearing about the establishment of the safe zone, Li Ke frowned and pondered for a while. In her previous life, until her death, the best paradise she had ever heard of was the Oasis Base. As for the safe zone, she had never heard of it at all.
Li Ke didn't know whether the Qingyuan base had been moved later, but it hadn't been moved at least in the last few years.
But now, Mo Cheng tells her that the military has established a safe zone, and Qingyuan Base is also planning to move there, so there are fewer and fewer things she can refer to from her previous life.
"Do you know how many bases will be relocated? How far is the safe zone from here? What's the situation?" Li Ke asked Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng shook his head: "I don't know how many bases there are, but my father said that the military will try its best to notify everyone outside so that they know about the safe zone and can then evacuate. The safe zone is not far from here. It is located in the central-eastern part of the inland area. If the roads are clear, we can get there in five days. As for the current situation there, we don't know much about it, which is why we were sent there to investigate first and occupy a good place as soon as possible."
