Chapter 87: Chapter 77: Grateful to Li Ming_1
Li Ming opened the car door, revealing the items he had filled it with. He nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Xu Xiu, smiling as he started talking to her.
Xu Xiu, who had been prepared to make a desperate move, was taken aback when she heard his words. She looked sowhat taken aback at the items in the car cabin, only processing the situation when she t the man’s gaze and saw him nodding again.
She was actually expected to work!
“Ah, alright, it’s fine, I don’t mind the hard work.”
Xu Xiu suddenly realized that she had misunderstood sothing. Her face turned slightly red, and she quickly explained softly, feeling sothing strange in her heart.
On the surface, she appeared delicate and pretty, but she was actually sowhat prideful. She hadn’t expected that this man who seed interested in her had brought her forcefully from the worker’s villa, not for any particular interest in her.
This surprised her, but at the sa ti, she was relieved. Her heart was no longer as tense as when she had just entered.
While Xu Xiu was lost in her thoughts, the villa’s gate finally opened. Aunt Liu Fang, dressed in plain clothes and accompanied by Yinyin, was about to say sothing when she saw the cute and pretty woman standing beside Li Ming. She was slightly stunned before revealing a smile:
“Li Ming is back, you brought so much stuff ho. Yinyin, quickly, you play at ho by yourself first, grandma will go and help uncle unload the items.”
As she was speaking, Liu Fang sent her granddaughter back into the villa. Then, while smiling, she stepped forward and her gaze turned to the woman next to Li Ming: “Lily and Zhang Yuan are resting. They spent the morning categorizing and recording seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and such. They’re both on their periods and not feeling well.”
“Okay, let them rest. I didn’t intend for them to work anyway. By the way, Aunt, this is Xu Xiu, I found her in the gathering place. Besides her, there are several others working in villa ‘Right Three’. I thought we could unload the stuff in the car ourselves, so I brought her over.”
Having seen Liu Fang’s reaction, Li Ming nodded and responded. After introducing Xu Xiu to her, he began unloading the supplies from the truck.
“Let’s sort things out. Tools go with tools, and other everyday items should also be sorted, so they’re easy to find when we need them.”
Carrying so heavy tools down, Li Ming turned back and instructed Liu Fang before walking away with the items.
With Li Ming gone, Liu Fang looked at Xu Xiu. Seeing her looking a bit awkward, she quickly smiled and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: “Your na is Xu Xiu, right? I’m Liu Fang, how about we start by carrying the lighter daily use items inside?”
“Ah, sure Aunt Liu Fang.”
Xu Xiu quickly agreed. The tension of arriving at an unfamiliar place eased slightly upon eting such a kind-looking aunt. After agreeing, she quickly took the initiative to help.
As she picked up the items, Xu Xiu frowned slightly. Although the items were light, she was a bit weak after not having eaten well for such a long ti. However, she had to bear with it and followed Aunt Liu Fang into the villa with the items.
By the ti they had brought so daily necessities to the second floor of the villa, Li Ming had already set up the things and ca out, taking the items from their hands.
Xu Xiu felt lightened, and looking back, she saw that Li Ming had already taken away the items and placed them in the storage room. She was taken aback and was about to turn around to continue carrying items when she heard the man speak.
“Aunt, is there any porridge left in the pot? Serve a bowl for her and boil an egg for her to eat. She’s been hungry for a few days and probably doesn’t have any energy left. Let her have sothing warm and take a rest, and we’ll continue unloading.”
Li Ming’s voice varied as the distance between them fluctuated. Xu Xiu was stunned for a mont, wanted to refuse, but her physical weakness made it hard for her to speak up. As a result, she had to let Aunt Liu Fang lead her to the kitchen feeling slightly embarrassed, warm up so leftover porridge and boil an egg for her to eat.
In fact, having just eaten so many compressed biscuits, she was far from hungry. However, those were all instant foods, which were not as easy to digest as porridge. This is why she wiped clean the bowl of warm porridge and then peeled and ate a boiled egg. She was overco with sleepiness and couldn’t help but lie down on the couch and rest.
“Aunt, please prepare so food for later. Enough for nine people to eat and drink will be fine. I’ll bring it to the workers that I’ve recruited at noon.”
After carrying back so tools, seeing Xu Xiu asleep, Li Ming spoke quietly to Liu Fang: “As long as they’re full.”
Upon hearing his words, Liu Fang nodded and turned around to start preparing, while Li Ming continued to unload the items. Until late in the morning and until half past eleven, he had unloaded everything.
Washing away the dust in the bathroom and wiping off his sweat, he then changed clothes. When he went out, he found that Chen Li and Zhang Yuan had also woken up and stepped out. They were looking at the fast peaceably woman sleeping in the living room on the second floor.
Seeing him co out, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help asking: “Husband, who is she?”
“Didn’t we say we were going to find so people to work? Today I brought back ten people, five n and five won. She’s one of them, nad Xu Xiu. I saw that she was pitiful so I took her in.”
Li Ming explained briefly, seeing that they were still feeling a bit tired, he told them to rest well. When Aunt Liu Fang finishes cooking lunch, they can leave Xu Xiu to eat with them. Afterwards, he loaded the food Liu Fang had prepared onto a patrol car.
Then he prepared weapons and drove the car towards villa ‘Right Three’.
“When she ca, she was trembling while carrying two packs of toilet paper upstairs. Li Ming let warm a bowl of porridge for her and boil an egg. She ate with such seriousness, obviously she was very hungry.”
Aunt Liu Fang, who had finished washing rice, carried the bowl of rice over. Seeing Zhang Yuan and Chen Li looking at the sleeping beauty on the couch, she couldn’t help but interrupt: “I guess those people are so hungry they have no strength. Who knows how they would survive if Li Ming hadn’t called them over to work and fed them.”
Upon hearing Aunt Liu Fang’s words, Zhang Yuan and Chen Li pursed their lips and then got up slowly to help Aunt Liu Fang pick out vegetables.
While sorting the vegetables, the awkwardness in Zhang Yuan and Chen Li’s hearts gradually faded away. This woman, who stood out from the crowd, slept on the couch. What was Li Ming’s intention, how could they not see it?
Initially, they felt a little uncomfortable that he had so casually brought a woman ho. But upon further thought about the current apocalyptic situation, they gradually cald down.
Perhaps, they were living in a paradise.
And the pillar supporting this paradise, was Li Ming.
Upon this realization, Zhang Yuan and Chen Li pursed their lips, evaluating the discomfort from their periods. They thought about the ‘bedroom technique’ they had seen before and felt at ease again.
“I’m the one he holds every night. That’s enough.”
Zhang Yuan thought to herself, and the last bit of awkwardness in her heart disappeared as this thought arose.
“Brother Ming is willing to support my whole family for , living steadily like this is already good enough.”
Chen Li thought to herself, her face soon lighting up with a smile.
