Chapter 972 Dinner
"You were also hit by that young man?" Grandpa Li asked in surprise. "How did it go? Did you catch him?"

"No, that little thief was so slippery, he knocked over all the vegetables I'd worked so hard to collect and scattered them all over the ground," Zhao Chunlan said with disgust. "I haven't even confronted him yet, and he's already disappeared into the crowd. How despicable!"

"Young people these days are rotten to the core."

"you do not say!"

Grandpa Li and Zhao Chunlan cursed the thief angrily, venting their anger, before saying, "Sister, I have to save one of these vegetables today. My leg is broken, I need to recover."

“Okay, I collected quite a lot today.” Zhao Chunlan said casually, “I’ll still charge you two jin, 100 contribution points per jin, that’s two hundred contribution points in total.”

These past few days, because Fuyuan Supermarket has been selling a lot of vegetables, her harvesting has been much easier.

"Okay! Thank you, little sister." Grandpa Li happily handed the vegetables to Zhao Chunlan, of course he didn't forget to save one for himself.

How many wicker baskets did you make?

"Ten now," Grandpa Li said happily.

"Then I'll take them all. We agreed that each wicker basket would cost ten contribution points. I'll give you three hundred contribution points in total."

"it is good."

"Okay, that's all. I'll be going now. I still need to ask around at other places."

"Walk slowly."

At noon, Zhao Chunlan carried two sacks of vegetables to the trading location, a bungalow near Area A.

"Old Zhang, what happened to your hand?" As soon as Zhao Chunlan entered the room, she saw her accomplice, cough cough, her colleague Old Zhang, sitting there with his left arm in a sling, covered in cold sweat.

"Hey girl, you've harvested a lot of vegetables today." Old Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Chunlan's vegetables. "I'm not going to talk about it. I had a bad day and someone hit me, ruining almost half of the vegetables I just harvested."

Although the person lost money, they were injured for no reason, so who would be happy?

"What? You were hit too?" When Zhao Chunlan saw Old Zhang's miserable state and thought of Grandpa Li's swollen knee, she suddenly felt quite lucky.

"What do you mean you were also hit? Does that mean you were too?"

Zhao Chunlan nodded and began to recount her misfortunes in detail.

Old Zhang listened silently, without a shred of empathy. "Ahem, Zhao, hurry up and process the vegetables you harvested today. The buyers will be here soon."

"Okay." Zhao Chunlan smacked her lips and started working.

After a while, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.

The newcomer was dressed in a well-fitting work uniform, looking no different from the business elites of the pre-apocalyptic world.

"Coming."

How many vegetables did you harvest today?

"Fifty jin in total," Zhao Chunlan said proudly, adding that she had collected thirty-five jin of it.

The elite man nodded in satisfaction, "Well done, I'll take them all."

Zhao Chunlan was immediately delighted. "Alright, I've packed them all into your wicker baskets. I just filled ten baskets."

The elite man looked at the exquisite wicker basket filled with crisp, tender vegetables, neatly arranged on the table, and was very satisfied. "Okay, transfer the money."

"okay!"

After transferring the money, the elite man waved his hand, and the basket on the table, along with the vegetables, disappeared. It turned out he was a spatial ability user.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, the elite man eagerly made a phone call. "Madam Yun, I bought it! There are fifty catties today, and I have divided it into ten portions as you instructed, all packed in baskets."

"Hmm, not bad. Keep one for yourself, and send six directly to the ladies; they've been asking me about it for days. Deliver the remaining three to the family quarters," said Madam Yun. "Yes, sir, I'll get right away," the elite man replied, overjoyed. He'd been craving these dishes for a while, but since the owner liked them too, he'd had to give away his own portion. He never expected to get to eat them today.

"Ah."

In the high-ranking family quarters of the base, Mrs. Yun had the nanny prepare the meal early in the morning.

Yun Qianshan was exhausted after a busy day. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his wife, who was all smiles, coming to greet him, taking his bag and clothes, and serving him gently and attentively. In that moment, most of his fatigue disappeared.

"Honey, go wash your hands. Aunt Wang made your favorite dishes today."

"Okay." Yun Qianshan readily agreed, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table, where eight dishes were laid out—four meat and four vegetable. The aroma was rich, and the dishes were beautifully presented; he was satisfied.

"That's good, let's give Sister Wang a bonus this month."

"Okay, I knew you'd like it." Madam Yun smiled and picked up her chopsticks, taking a bite of lettuce. "Lettuce with oyster sauce, specially made for you, have a taste."

Yun Qianshan nodded, picked up a piece of bright green, glistening lettuce, and for some reason remembered his own arrangements. He shook his head and chuckled, then put the lettuce in his mouth.

"Kacha~Kacha~"

Crisp and refreshing, with a unique sweetness. Yun Qianshan's eyes lit up as he quickly chewed the lettuce in his mouth, then picked up another lettuce and put it in his mouth.

"This lettuce is really good." Yun Qianshan took several bites before he had time to praise it.

"Isn't it delicious? Eat more. Here, try this steamed pumpkin, it's quite good too," Madam Yun said with a smile.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Soon, having finished his meal, Yun Qianshan sat in the living room and praised with satisfaction, "Sister Wang's cooking skills have improved recently!"

While clearing away the dishes, Aunt Wang dared not take credit and quickly said, "Sir, you flatter me. It's not my improved cooking skills that are credited, but your wife's."

"Oh? Qianqian, what did you do?" Yun Qianshan asked curiously.

Mrs. Yun felt embarrassed; she was actually a little worried that her husband would be upset if she spent so many contribution points buying groceries outside. Especially since she had heard that the girl didn't have a good relationship with the breeding base.

"I didn't do anything."

Yun Qianshan frowned, feeling inexplicably irritated. "Sister-in-law Wang, you speak!"

Madam Yun and Sister-in-law Wang were both startled. Sister-in-law Wang dared not hide the truth and told them about Madam Yun's overpriced vegetables.

Mrs. Yun was filled with anxiety. "Husband, I'm sorry. The vegetables at Fuyuan Supermarket are really delicious. You worry about so much every day, so I just wanted to make sure you eat well."

Yun Qianshan's eyes reddened slightly, his whole body began to tremble, and anger burned within him. "Get out! The breeding base sends so many vegetables over every day, isn't that enough for you?! You bitch!"

He walked over and kicked Madam Yun to the ground.

"Ah—" Madam Yun, ignoring the pain, stared at Yun Qianshan in disbelief. Meanwhile, Aunt Wang was already terrified by the scene before her. She quickly gathered up the dishes and rushed into the kitchen, slamming the kitchen door shut with a "bang."

Madam Yun lay on the ground, her eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face like water from a tap, perhaps from the intense pain. Her voice was shrill, “Whom am I doing this for? Am I not doing it for you! I’ve heard that these vegetables can reduce the activity of ‘viruses’ in the human body.”

"Shut up! You stupid woman!" Yun Qianshan was furious to the extreme, his mind was a bit muddled. He couldn't even tell if it was the manic behavior caused by the overdose of the 'virus' in his body, or his anger at having such a useless teammate by his side!
He took several deep breaths and activated his bracelet. "Where is Yunming?"

"My lord, I'm at Lord Han Feng's house." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very tired.

"What happened? How did you end up at his house?" Yun Qianshan shook his head and pounded the table repeatedly with his hands, trying to use the pain to wake himself up.

"Lord Han Feng suddenly showed signs of a change, but fortunately I arrived in time and have brought his condition under control," Yun Ming said. "Sir, Wu Nongqi called me, and oh, Lord Fan Si called too..."

"Ignore them, come to my house right now!" Yun Qianshan took a deep breath and tried to use his supernatural ability to suppress the restlessness within him.

"Yes, I'll be right there!"
