Zhang Jing calmly looked at the old woman. The food they ate and the things they used were not theirs, and even if they were their own, he could not give them to her.
Seeing this shameless old woman reminded me of my former mother-in-law, who was also a difficult person to deal with.
After she finished speaking, Zhang Jing stopped being polite and said coldly to her.
"We won't exchange our own stuff. If you want to eat, go to the base's supermarket yourself. Don't try to morally blackmail us; we won't fall for that."
After Zhang Jing finished speaking, she pulled Gu Qingqing back, ignoring the calls from the older woman behind them.
When the woman saw the two go inside, she spat viciously and went back cursing.
Gu Qingqing and Zhang Jing returned to the house and sat down at the dining table. Chen Zhe and the others were very curious about who the people outside were, so they asked them.
"Who's outside? What happened? Why can I hear people swearing?"
Gu Qingqing said irritably.
"It was an old woman who said she smelled the aroma of our hot pot and flatbread last night, and came to us with several bags of compressed biscuits to exchange for them."
I told her that ours were also bought from the market, and if she wanted to eat them, she could go to the base's supermarket.
Lu Hengyi asked her, "And then?"
"Then, the old woman said that we should have pity on her, because she and her grandson were the only ones at home, and her grandson smelled the food and insisted on eating it."
She said the journey was long, she didn't have a car, and her legs were weak, so she couldn't walk very far. Since we have one and live nearby, she naturally came to us to exchange.
Basically, she tried to morally blackmail us. In the end, A-Jing confronted her, telling her to buy it herself and that she wouldn't exchange our things. Afterwards, we came back, and she was still cursing and swearing at us.
Zhang Haiyi comforted the sullen Gu Qingqing.
"Okay, stop being angry. This kind of person isn't worth getting angry at!"
"Of course I know! How could someone like that be worth getting angry at? Next time she comes, I'll give her a piece of my mind for daring to insult us!"
Seeing that Zhang Jing was silent, Chen Zhe assumed she was also angry, so he said angrily.
"If she comes looking for trouble again, I'll come and fight her to the death, and help you vent your anger!"
Zhang Jing chuckled when she heard what Chen Zhe said.
"Let's eat first. Before the acid rain starts, let's go out for a walk after Yunxi wakes up."
"Okay, let's eat first!"
They continued eating, and when they were almost finished, Ye Yunxi came downstairs, still sleepy, and said...
Good morning, everyone!
Gu Qingqing and the others turned around and said with a smile.
"Good morning, come and have breakfast. After you finish eating, let's go out for a walk before the acid rain starts."
Ye Yunxi sat down next to Fu Heng, took a sip of soy milk, and said.
"Sure, I was just thinking of asking you guys to go for a walk together and ask around."
"Then we've all thought of the same thing."
Ye Yunxi smiled and didn't say anything, then continued eating her breakfast.
A dozen minutes later, after breakfast, Fu Heng helped her clear the table and told her to go change her clothes.
After everyone had finished getting ready, they all left the room together. Fu Heng locked the door from the inside, walked out through the iron gate, and locked it again.
The group walked and looked around the Seventh Base.
After Ye Yunxi and the others walked away, the neighbor lady saw them leaving and glared at them.
This seventh base was not much different from their first base, and they wandered around aimlessly.
There were many people on the street, probably because they saw that it hadn't rained acid and everyone was out for a walk. Or maybe they were going to work.
Ye Yunxi and her group had visited several other bases, and the buildings were all similar in size and area.
They didn't know where to go, and unknowingly ended up in a shopping mall.
From a distance, there are rows of houses outside the shopping mall, but I don't know what they're for.
Gu Qingqing was very curious about what the row of houses in front of her were for, so she asked.
"Sister Yunxi, let's go up ahead and see what that row of houses is for."
Ye Yunxi was also curious, so she agreed to go and take a look with Gu Qingqing.
When they reached the row of houses, they saw that there were two rows of houses facing each other, with some vendors set up.
There were vendors selling fish, vegetables, jewelry and bags, antiques and calligraphy, as well as snacks from before the apocalypse, all of which were fried foods and barbecue.
Walk to the shop ahead, the sign says "Bubble Tea Shop".
Gu Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile.
"Brother Yi, I want to drink this."
Zhang Haiyi said gently, "Okay, I'll buy it for you."
When Ye Yunxi saw the milk tea, she remembered that she also had ingredients for making milk tea in her space, and she could make all kinds of milk tea.
But she also wanted to try what milk tea tasted like in this post-apocalyptic world.
So they all walked to the shop entrance, and the owner saw them and said with a smile.
"What would you like to drink, distinguished guests? We have bubble tea and taro ball milk tea."
Zhang Haiyi asked the milk tea shop owner, "How much is your milk tea?"
"My milk tea is 5 points a cup. Everyone, please have a few to try."
Fu Heng immediately said, "We want nine cups of milk tea, both flavors."
The bubble tea shop owner was overjoyed to hear this; this was a big customer!
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Chen Zhe and his friends didn't usually drink milk tea, but after seeing it today, they wanted to try it.
Fu Heng immediately paid the points, and Ye Yunxi asked him curiously.
"Why only buy nine cups?"
Fu Heng whispered in her ear.
"Let's have a drink."
Ye Yunxi's face instantly turned red. The others just smiled and didn't say anything. They immediately understood that Fu Heng had deliberately only bought nine cups so that he could share a cup of milk tea with Ye Yunxi.
Zhang Haiyi and his group didn't have many points; the extra points were all with Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi.
They didn't care about these basic necessities like food, clothing, and daily necessities; it didn't matter who used them.
They waited a while, each of them took a cup of milk tea, and then they continued shopping.
Ye Yunxi took a sip of the milk tea. Although it wasn't as good as it was before the apocalypse, it was already quite good.
Suddenly, people in front of me started arguing, and I could hear them cursing at each other.
They walked over and stood at the back of the crowd, looking inside.
Lu Hengyi heard a very familiar voice, but he couldn't remember who it was.
The two women were arguing and blaming each other.
Ye Yunxi and the others overheard people nearby saying that the argument was over fighting for territory to sell things.
At this moment, the woman opposite him cursed him with her full name.
"Wang Yuxia, who do you think you are? You were kicked out by your husband, what right do you have to compete with me?"
Upon hearing the name, Lu Hengyi paused for a moment before calling out.
"Wang Yuxia, Second Aunt?"
The woman was furious and ready to fight the woman in front of her, but when she heard someone call her "Second Aunt," she turned around angrily.
But then she saw Lu Hengyi in the crowd, staring straight at her, and she seemed a little flustered.
When Lu Hengyi saw the woman in front of him, he realized it was indeed his second aunt. He looked at her with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say.
