Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jelly jumped to Jiang Li's pillow and rubbed her face against it.

Pudding faced Jiang Li, stretched her head out onto the bed, her eyes filled with worry.

"It wasn't for nothing that I hurt you all."

Jiang Li reached out and ruffled the heads of the two little ones.

She turned on her tablet, found a comedy, and started killing time.

As Jiang Li was engrossed in her reading, a knock came from the front door.

She looked up and called out towards the kitchen, "Brother Mo, knock on the front door."

It should be Zhou Tian arriving. Go check at the entrance.

Ye Jingmo took off his apron and walked towards the front gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Tian stood at the door, watching Ye Jingmo open it, but Jiang Li was nowhere to be seen.

He asked with some doubt:

"Are you home today, Jingmo? Jiang Li isn't here?"

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li are always inseparable; there shouldn't be only Ye Jingmo present.

"She accidentally strained her eye and is now resting in bed."

Is it serious? Should I see a doctor?

Or is any medication needed?

Zhou Tian inquired with concern.

Ye Jingmo shook his head.

"It's not serious. If needed, I won't hesitate to help."

Jiang Li possesses a spatial ability, so there's no need for Ye Jingmo to make her see a doctor.

Avoid discovering her secrets.

Upon receiving Zhou Tian's message, Qin Yu immediately arrived at Ye Jingmo's doorstep.

Ye Jingmo led everyone into the front yard.

"We moved a total of 32 boxes, and each box contained 50 cans of food, which translates to 80,000 points."

These are pictures of the on-site inventory.

Li Wenxuan handed the photos he had taken to Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu.

Although they trust the authorities, the proper procedures will not be omitted.

"Okay, no problem."

Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu both nodded.

Li Wenxuan hesitated for a moment after looking at the two of them, and then said:

"Will these points be transferred directly to one of you, or will they be transferred separately?"

"Transfer 26,000 points to me, and give the rest to Qin Yu."

That way, it won't have to go through the hands of both of us anymore.

Ye Jingmo spoke first?

While Li Wenxuan and Ye Jingmo were talking, Zhou Tian looked at the towering corn in the front yard with envy in his eyes.

"Jingmo, do you have a well at home?"

This corn is grown really well; it should be ripe soon.

Ye Jingmo glanced at the lush corn in the field, a smile in his eyes.

"I don't know much about agronomy either; I just grow things by the fence."

It is said to be a drought-resistant variety, requiring relatively little water.

We don't have a well; we mainly rely on the rainwater we collect for irrigation.

However, we probably won't plant any more after this batch, as water is still too scarce.

"Have you considered digging a well?"

Water resources are scarce now, and reservoirs are almost dry.

The authorities have hired people to start digging wells at the base.

Qin Yu's face lit up with excitement upon hearing the news.

If we could dig a well at home, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to store water.

How many points are needed to dig this well?

Ye Jingmo gets straight to the point.

Zhou Tian smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"It's not cheap; it takes 20,000 points to dig a well once."

Qin Yu's excitement froze on his face. Although he now had 60,000 points in his account, there were still many places where he needed those points.

Digging a well cost him a third of his points.

How could he bear to part with that?

"Can't you make it cheaper?"

Qin Yu struggled to speak, unwilling to give up.

Zhou Tian shook his head.

"This is not an official price, but a price set by the people who dug the well."

Currently, there is a lack of machines for digging wells, so most of the work is done manually.

Moreover, this is a technical skill that ordinary people simply cannot handle.

This thus becomes a form of technological monopoly.

Ye Jingmo said, "I need to go back and discuss with Lili whether we need to dig this well."

After all, this is a large number of points.

I'll contact you if I need anything. Thank you for your help then.

Zhou Tian patted Ye Jingmo on the shoulder, a hearty smile on his face.

"No need to be so polite. If you and Jiang Li need any help, just ask me."

Then we won't bother you any longer, we'll head back now.

Zhou Tian and his group walked out of Ye Jingmo's house.

Only Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu remained. Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively:

“Jingmo, how about we both dig a well, and then run a water pipe from the one digging the well to the other?”

This way you can save some points.

What do you think of this idea?

Ye Jingmo did not answer immediately.

I cannot answer that right now.

This is no small matter; you should discuss it with Qin Yue when you get back.

We'll discuss our thoughts then.

Qin Yu nodded, then suddenly realized that Jiang Li was not by Ye Jingmo's side.

He spoke somewhat uncertainly:

"Is Jiang Li injured? Why haven't I seen her with you?"

"She has strained a muscle and needs to rest for a while."

"Okay, then just let us know if you need anything."

Please tell her to take care of herself for me. I'm heading back now.

Qin Yu walked back into his villa.

After Ye Jingmo left, Jiang Li was unable to focus her attention on the comedy film.

Her mind was filled with images of the discussions taking place outside.

I wonder how much I'll gain this time.

Jiang Li was lost in her own thoughts when she unconsciously bent her leg and swayed.

As a result, she accidentally pulled her lower back, causing her some pain.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Jiang Li quickly turned her gaze over.

"Brother Mo, how's the situation?"

How many points can I get in total?

Faced with Jiang Li's series of questions, Ye Jingmo walked to her side and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"Things went very smoothly. We had a total of 80,000 points, and we took 26,000 of them."

However, Zhou Tian mentioned digging a well and asked if we needed it.

"Dig a well?!"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up; this was good news.

Then we won't have to worry about water shortages when growing crops at home.

How many points are needed?

"It requires 20,000 points."

Upon hearing this amount, Jiang Li became dejected.

Digging a well almost wiped out all my points?

However, digging a well has many advantages, which put Jiang Li in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Qin Yu suggested that our two families dig a well and then use a water pipe to supply water to the other family.

This way you can save some points.

It depends on what you think.

"If our two families dig a well together, we can indeed save some points."

But the main concern is that if something happens in the future, the two sides might have a conflict.

This means that building a well on one side would be more advantageous for that side.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

Jiang Li couldn't gamble with her and Ye Jingmo's lives.

"You mean we should dig a separate well?"

Although Jiang Li felt a pang of regret at spending such a large amount of points, she nodded. The benefits of digging the well outweighed the drawbacks, and the points that needed to be spent should still be spent.
