Chapter 41: A Deal

"I only need vegetables for one month."

Chen Qingqing pointed to the seeds she had just handed him.

"Actually, there are many vegetables that can grow in one month, such as leeks, water spinach, rapeseed... just plant them."

Chen Qingqing couldn't tell the man that an insect plague would occur in a month, and the insects would sweep the entire world.

These insects would not attack people directly, but the mutated locusts would eat up everything that could be eaten, even the bark of the trees, and the parasites on other animals would drill into the brains of these animals, causing them to become violent and bloodthirsty, and extremely aggressive and dangerous.

By then, no matter how many vegetables they planted, they would not be able to survive.

"Anyway, I'll come back in a month to get them. Remember, I only want vegetables that mature within a month. If you plant something else, it will be considered a breach of contract."

The man didn't know why Chen Qingqing was so determined, but after all, she gave them so many benefits, and they had no reason to refuse.

The man nodded and took the seeds.

"My name is Wei Zheng." The man stretched out his hand to her, "Thank you."

"My name is Chen Qingqing." Chen Qingqing also stretched out her hand, shook it briefly, and then handed it back.

"Happy cooperation."

Wei Zheng shouted into the house: "Sister-in-law, bring Lele out."

A sound of footsteps passed by, and a woman with her hair tied up appeared in front of several people, holding a baby in a swaddle.

There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and it was obvious that she had been hiding in a closed place for a long time.

At this time, she looked at Chen Qingqing nervously: "Hello, my name is Jiang Cuiping."

"I scared you just now, I'm sorry." Chen Qingqing's eyes fell on the child in her arms.

"His name is Lele? How old is he?"

"It's just five months old. He's a boy." Jiang Cuiping wanted to smile, but couldn't stop choking.

After only five months, her husband left her and died at the hands of humans.

Every time she thought about it, she felt heartbroken.

Chen Qingqing couldn't understand Jiang Cuiping's situation. Her husband died, and she was left alone with a child who was waiting to be fed. If it weren't for the help of Wei Zheng, how long could Jiang Cuiping survive with her child?

"Did you hear what we just said?"

Chen Qingqing lowered her voice.

Jiang Cuiping nodded repeatedly: "I heard you, you have to give us milk powder... I will never forget your kindness in my life. Even if I die, I will let Lele remember it forever..."

"Why are you saying these unlucky things?" Chen Qingqing smiled, "I also have a three-month-old daughter, I understand."

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with shock.

How did a woman with a three-month-old daughter survive to this day?

Chen Qingqing saw his surprise and explained, "I also have a six-year-old son, who is waiting for me near the village with my husband."

Thinking of the reason why Chen Qingqing appeared, Wei Zheng's face turned pale and red, and he lowered his head guiltily: "Sister, I..."

"Don't say it, the past is in the past. You have no choice."

In fact, if it were Chen Qingqing, she would not only do this, but also do it more ruthlessly and cruelly than Wei Zheng.

And Wei Zheng has more benevolence and conscience than her.

This is also one of the reasons why she is willing to cooperate with Wei Zheng.

Now her space is too small, and there is definitely no way to grow vegetables on a large scale. The land by the sea is not suitable for farming. The land here is fertile and it is the most suitable.

Jiang Cuiping took two tentative steps forward, picked up the bandage thrown by Chen Qingqing, and stepped forward to bandage Wei Zheng's wound.

The two people who had just faced each other with knives now seemed to have become old friends who had not seen each other for many years, without any grudges.

"What are your plans next?" Chen Qingqing asked.

Wei Zheng: "Now that we have medicines and milk powder, we will not do anything that is against the law. We will deal with the zombies in the granary later. Tomorrow I will take the brothers to farm, and you will come to harvest in a month."

Chen Qingqing nodded: "Remember to protect the three layers inside and three layers outside the village, and don't let others go through this road again."

As the difficulty of survival increases, few of the survivors are good people.

If Wei Zheng was really a ruthless person who wanted to root out the evil, he might have a chance to survive, but he was too kind. Even

if he stopped robbing people on the road, he would inevitably have to face passers-by who wanted to raid the village.

One or two would be fine, but the degree of damage to the asphalt road in this village showed that there would be vehicles passing by here frequently.

There were not many people in the village, and if a slightly larger team wanted to raid the village, they would have no power to fight back.

Chen Qingqing thought for a moment and suggested: "After we leave, you should first dig up the two roads leading to the village, and then make the side roads wider."

"In this case, few people will choose to force their way in. If they dare to force their way in, it means that they have weapons or are superior in numbers, and they may also... have superpowers."

Wei Zheng was stunned: "What superpowers?"

Shang Li immediately said: "Brother Zheng, I will explain this to you slowly later."

Chen Qingqing paused and continued: "In short, if you meet someone with power, you should try your best to show goodwill, but you must not open the door to let them in."

At least they still have the initiative in the village. If they let people in, they will really be at the mercy of others.

Wei Zheng took note seriously: "Okay."

"In addition..." Chen Qingqing rolled his eyes.

"That forest path is not wide, and it is very likely that two groups of people will meet head-on. If they happen to fight, you can take advantage of them when both are injured and reap the benefits."

This is the lowest-cost and least-risk way to make a profit that Chen Qingqing can think of.

"Okay! Sister, thank you so much, we didn't think of this..."

Wei Zheng was full of admiration for Chen Qingqing, who was good at fighting and had such a sharp mind, and his attitude towards Chen Qingqing became much more enthusiastic.

After Jiang Cuiping bandaged Wei Zheng's wound, the three of them walked out of the door while talking.

The group of people were shocked when they saw Chen Qingqing suddenly appear, and immediately picked up their weapons and prepared for her as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and pressed his hand towards everyone: "This is the benefactor of our village! Everyone come and get to know him!" Everyone

looked at each other, but still obediently surrounded him.

He Chuan and others in the car looked at the villagers who were surrounded in a circle and laughed from time to time, and couldn't help but doubt

their lives. Is this still the group of people who threatened their lives just now?

After a while, someone finally remembered them.

Shang Li ran over in a flash, and just when he wanted to raise his head to knock on the glass, he found that the glass had been smashed.

After listening to Shang Li's description, they knew that this time Chen Qingqing solved the problem with just a few words, and even asked the villagers to work for Chen Qingqing for a month.

But it's worth the money. Chen Qingqing gave them medicine and milk powder. These two materials are scarce in the end times and are enough to save several lives.

He Chuan nodded, looked at Shang Li again, pursed his lips: "Are you... okay?"

Shang Li lowered his voice and blinked at him: "Very good! I ate two eggs and drank a box of milk this morning! It couldn't be better!"

Qian Qian on the side couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Sister Chen is so good to you."

Shang Li said meaningfully: "If you hadn't separated from us, maybe you could have benefited from it."

"That..." Zhou Weiyue whispered, pinching her fingers nervously, "Does Sister Chen still blame me?"

After the farce just now, Zhou Weiyue realized that Su Ru's identity was not as simple as it seemed.

Shang Li sighed: "Tell me... Anyway, I can't forgive you on behalf of my sister, so you should go and apologize yourself."

Zhou Weiyue bit her pale lower lip and forced a smile: "It doesn't matter, I know Sister Chen won't forgive me, we'll just stay here and farm with Brother Zheng and the others."

After what happened, Chen Qingqing would definitely not be willing to take them with her again!

Zhou Weiyue was almost regretting it, but what qualifications did she have to ask Chen Qingqing for forgiveness?

"Who said to keep you?" Shang Li scratched his head.

"Just now, my sister told you to pack up and leave together after dealing with the zombies."
