The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Back home, Mei Zhi's room was quiet; perhaps she had cried herself to sleep.

To celebrate Xinyi's safe return home, tonight's dinner was more lavish than usual, consisting of braised pork, braised fish, and two stir-fried vegetables.

Mei Fang hesitated for a moment, then took a bowl, filled it with some food, and knocked on Mei Zhi's door.

"Zhi'er, open the door, dinner is ready!"

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. Mei Fang listened closely to the door and vaguely heard cursing. She stopped trying to persuade him and put the rice bowl at the door.

"Zhi'er, your aunt has left the food at the door. Come out and get it if you're hungry. Also, I've added another fifty to your fifty-yuan subsidy for going to the countryside, making it a hundred yuan. Put it at the bottom of your bowl and use it to buy some daily necessities when you have time. I hope you will participate well in rural development while you're in the countryside!"

When Mei Fang returned to the living room, Mei Zhi quietly opened the door and took the money and food to her room. She thought she was being quiet, but everyone heard her, but no one paid any attention to her.

During dinner, the family of four returned to their usual harmony. Seeing that Xin Ren and his wife seemed hesitant to speak, Xin Yi took the initiative to tell them what had happened in the past few days, which made Mei Fang and her son feel quite frightened.

Xin Hai hugged his sister's arm and said, "Sister Yiyi, you've suffered so much. When I grow up, I will definitely protect you!"

Xin Yi gently patted Hai Ge'er's head and said with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you to grow up. You need to eat more so you can grow up quickly!"

"Okay, I will grow up quickly and won't keep my sister waiting too long!"

As he spoke, Xin Hai ate another bowl of rice. His childlike words made the atmosphere even more relaxed.

After dinner, Xin Yi volunteered to wash the dishes, which made Xin Ren and his wife quite relieved. Their child was all grown up, so they let her be.

After washing up, Xin Yi lay on her bed, feeling uncomfortable all over. In her previous life, she was a big shot, and countless zombies, wild beasts, and bad guys had died at her hands. Now, she had suddenly become a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken, and she just couldn't get used to it.

"My superpower has really disappeared? Everyone else's transmigration is full of cheat codes, surely I can't be left with nothing? No, I have to think of a way to activate my lightning superpower first, at least I need to have some ability to protect myself!"

Xin Yi lay on the bed, staring intently at the overhead light, her thoughts wandering.

"Lightning powers? Surely I'm not supposed to go outside and draw lightning into my body? What if I get struck and turned to ashes? No way, that's too risky. Lightning, lightning..."

Suddenly, Xin Yi had a flash of inspiration, "Lightning! There's no lightning, but there's electricity!"

No sooner said than done, Xin Yi rummaged through drawers and cabinets, found a thin iron wire, unscrewed the light bulb, and used the wire to touch the connector.

Sparks flew in an instant as an electric current flowed through the wire into Xin Yi's body.

Xin Yi suddenly felt her body trembling violently, "Help...help...my life...ah...ah..."

Although the sound was very soft, Xin Yi was certain that Mei Zhi next door must have heard it, but hoping that Mei Zhi would come to her rescue was definitely impossible.

"What should I do? I can't possibly kill myself so soon after being reborn!"

After being electrocuted for more than ten minutes, Xin Yi, who had been in despair, clearly felt that the discomfort in her body was not so intense.

"It seems I've stumbled upon a way to awaken my superpowers!"

There's no need to call for help anymore; just sit cross-legged and feel the changes within your body.

They remained in that position all night until Mei Fang came to knock on the door.

"Yiyi, are you awake? Come and have breakfast. We still need to go buy things for the countryside later, or we'll be late!"

"Okay, Aunt Mei, I'm coming right away!"

Yes, after a night of adjustment, Xin Yi was able to control her body and stop trembling.

After removing the wire, Xin Yi felt a surge of power throughout her body, but she was still far from awakening her superpowers.

"It's alright. As long as we find a way, awakening our superpowers is just a matter of time!"

Xin Yi casually patted the dust off her clothes and walked out of the room.

"what!"

A gasp rang out. It was Mei Fang. Xin Yi looked at everyone present in surprise, including Mei Zhi, who had shamelessly come out for breakfast. They all stared at her with wide eyes and incredulous expressions.

Xin Yi touched her face a little shyly, "What? Do I look especially good today?"

Xin Hai honestly said, "Sister Yiyi, did you get an electric shock? Your hair is all standing on end and smoking, and your face and hands are black too!"

Xin Yi raised her hands, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! You guys eat first, I'm going to take a shower!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to the toilet, but forgot that there was no water heater. She thought she would just make do with cold water, since it was only early autumn and it shouldn't be a big problem. In the end, Mei Fang brought in a basin of hot water.

After washing her face, Xin Yi looked at herself in the mirror and seemed to have become a little whiter. Thinking about her dark face just now, she quickly shook her head. People who have just washed their faces always feel that they are very white, but that's just an illusion.

After breakfast, the family of five went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy supplies for their rural trip.

Mei Zhi remained silent throughout, following behind, thinking that she couldn't be left out of the shopping, but in reality, she was overthinking it.

Mei Fang said directly, "Zhi'er, think about what you need to buy and hurry up and go buy it. You don't need to wander around aimlessly with us!"

Mei Zhi looked at Mei Fang in disbelief and replied with a wronged expression, "Auntie, aren't you going to buy it for me?"

Xin Yi wasn't about to let her try to freeload again, and retorted bluntly, "Big sister, Aunt Mei has already given you money. You still want my family to buy you things? How can you be so shameless?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Zhi said with tears in her eyes, "I...I didn't mean that. I just thought that since Auntie is an adult, she knows more and would know what to buy, and could help me check the price and quality!"

"Does Aunt Mei need to do all this? Are you afraid of being deceived by the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative?" She said, glancing at the staff member next to her.

"No, that's not what I meant, sister, I..."

"Stop talking, Aunt Mei is busy helping me, she doesn't have time for you."

"But isn't your uncle here too? He can help you too!"

Xin Yi didn't want to waste her breath arguing with her, but since she didn't know what was good for her, she shouldn't blame herself for going too far.

"Then tell me, what are you doing here when our family is out shopping? We've raised you to seventeen, that's more than enough, and we even gave you a fifty-yuan subsidy. After all the bad things you've done, what more do you have to ask for? Do you want me to tell everyone what you've done and let them judge?"

The middle-aged women present craned their necks, eager to hear some gossip.

Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, and that if her secret were revealed, she might not even have the face to buy anything here anymore, Mei Zhi had no choice but to back down.

"No, no, little sister, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go take a look myself!"

He then turned and walked to the other side.
