Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Meng Mingyue suddenly clapped her hands. "Oh, why are you going through all this trouble? If you need a new place to live, there's an opportunity right here. It's right in the building next to the service hall, and there's a room available. I'll go ask around. The rent shouldn't be cheap, but you got so many sanitary products for free today. You can probably exchange some for them."

Nowadays, sanitary products on the market are also sold at high prices.

Therefore, although the materials obtained today are not as abundant as the gasoline and mineral resources harvested in the past, it is still pretty good.

Before leaving, Meng Mingyue directly agreed to take four portions of the supplies in the room, and Zhou Shuwan and Zhang Jiaping would divide the remaining six portions.

She took the two of them with her not only to stock up on supplies, but also to take care of her younger sisters.

So she only took one extra portion, which was already very generous of her.

These sanitary products are icing on the cake for Zhou Shuwan, but for Zhang Jia, they can be said to be a timely help.

The three of them agreed to help Zhang Jia move once she found a house she liked.

Then Zhou Shuwan sent the two of them back.

When they arrived downstairs at Meng Mingyue's house, Zhou Shuwan suddenly glanced at her and said, "Thank you, Mingyue."

Meng Mingyue pretended not to know, lowered her head and carried a roll of toilet paper under the car: "What are you thanking me for?"

Zhou Shuwan laughed and said, "I didn't know you, but you must have known about the storage of sanitary products there a long time ago, right? And you said you scraped down some toilet paper from upstairs, that's a really bad excuse..."

Meng Mingyue couldn't help but glare at her, then smiled sheepishly: "It turns out it's so obvious, you saw it right away."

Zhou Shuwan nodded, then shook her head: "I don't think Senior Sister noticed. I know you want to take care of her, but you're afraid of hurting her self-esteem... That's why you came up with this idea..."

"Not at all."

Meng Mingyue interrupted her, gazing at the distant horizon, and whispered, "I have a very good impression of Zhang Jia. When we were in the survivors' apartment, she would use her limited food and water to care for the elderly and children. She would also bravely stand up for them when they were bullied, and she wasn't afraid of trouble... After the apocalypse, apart from soldiers, I rarely see such chivalrous people, especially women. So I also want to help her like you did..."

She looked at Zhou Shuwan and smiled. "Don't laugh at me if you tell me this. I did discover the house where the sanitary products were stored during the flood season. The tsunami had just passed and we were all out rescuing people. That's when I realized that the house was actually filled with sanitary products. That area was severely damaged, and I don't know who the original owner was. It was difficult to move supplies during the flood season, and it was even more difficult when the temperature rose. I only had a few opportunities to go out, so I didn't alert anyone. After the high temperature passed, I went back a few more times and felt that the building was still very safe."

Zhou Shuwan was a little confused: "Then why don't you ask your family to help move it?"

Meng Mingyue smiled faintly. "My family lives with my grandparents, uncle and aunt. I'm the only daughter in my family, and my uncle and aunt have two children, both boys, so my grandparents always favor them. My parents are honest and are always bullied. I'm not always at home, but if I see them, I'll stand up for them. But when I'm not around, I don't know how much they've endured from my uncle and aunt..."

"Wanwan, you may not be very familiar with my family's situation. My father broke his leg during the tsunami and has never fully recovered. My mother is also in poor health and gets sick from time to time, so I can't rely on my family for labor. My uncle and aunt are even less reliable..."

She breathed a sigh of relief as she spoke: "So even though I knew there were supplies, I didn't have a vehicle, and I didn't want to ask my uncle and aunt to take advantage of me... So I had to ask you and Zhang Jia..."

Zhou Shuwan had heard Xiao Xiao mention Meng Mingyue's family situation once, but she glossed over it vaguely. She only knew that her parents were not in good health, so she could not rely on her family.

Now after listening to her own account, I finally understand what it means to be unreliable.

"Don't feel burdened. My parents can't help, so I had to ask others to help move the things. I don't feel comfortable asking anyone else. Xiao Xiao doesn't need these things, so I didn't ask him. It's just the three of us girls, so we can help Zhang Jia..."

Meng Mingyue has been in the army for a long time. She is exposed to the wind and sun every day, and her skin is slightly dark, but her eyes are very beautiful. When she smiles like this, she actually has a kind of heroic beauty of a soldier.

Zhou Shuwan suggested to her: "Why don't you and your parents move out of the house?"

Meng Mingyue shook her head. "We're living in my parents' house now, but we have to take care of my grandparents in their old age. Before the apocalypse, my uncle and aunt came back from out of town and stayed there. I've wanted to move out with my parents before, but they refused to agree. My dad is worried about my grandparents, and my mom is worried about their health. If we move out, I'll have no one to rely on..."

Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

Zhou Shuwan felt awkward and didn't know how to comfort the other person. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then you can try to find a job for your parents, one that provides food and shelter. On the one hand, they will have spiritual support, and on the other hand, they won't have to be bullied by your uncle and aunt at home..."

Meng Mingyue's eyes lit up: "That's a solution."

She has some connections in the government, so it's not too difficult for her to find a job for her parents that doesn't require too much work.

How much you earn is secondary. The most important thing is that your parents can stay away from the favoritism of your grandparents and the exploitation of your uncles and aunts, and they can live a more comfortable life.

As for herself, she had wanted to leave that home for a long time.

Zhou Shuwan carefully advised: "Don't be too anxious. You've already shown your true colors at home. Find a job first, then slowly move the supplies you've stockpiled out. Then, find a way to get your grandparents, uncles, and aunts to agree to let your parents go out to work..."

Meng Mingyue nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, Wanwan, I'm not in a hurry. I'll go back and think about it carefully."

Based on this, she also asked Zhou Shuwan to keep her belongings temporarily until she rented a house outside and moved them there. Now she wouldn't have to worry about her grandparents, uncles, and aunts.

Of course Zhou Shuwan had no choice but to agree.

When she finally returned home exhausted, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

She drove all the way without having time to eat. When she got upstairs, Grandma Pang brought her a large plate of dumplings, which she ate voraciously.

Grandma Pang smiled and said, "Slow down. You're starving. You should bring some dry food with you next time you go out."

With meat, vegetables, rice and noodles at home, Grandma Pang feels at ease and satisfied.

Qi Mingyu was also distressed. Seeing beads of sweat on her forehead, he scooped another bowl of dumpling soup for her: "Drink slowly."

Zhou Shuwan told the whole family about the matter.

Zhong Tiyun nodded repeatedly: "Mingyue and Zhang Jia, whom you know, are both good people. You can spend more time with them. Mingyue, I see, walks with energy. After all, she is from the army. I didn't expect her family to be so sad."
