Chapter 256
Fang Yue's sister-in-law came out of the bedroom, poured a glass of water in the living room, and then walked back into the bedroom.

She noticed the apple in Chu Fan's hand and frowned.

After Fang Yue's sister-in-law walked into the bedroom, Chu Fan heard a voice from the bedroom: "Our mother is really, we are usually reluctant to eat that apple, so let her give it to a stranger."

Although her voice was not loud, with Chu Fan's hearing, she could hear clearly.

Fang Yuan's voice sounded from the bedroom: "Stop saying a few words, he is my brother's friend."

"Tch, with Fang Yue's strength, what kind of powerful people can he meet? Aren't they all friends..."

These dumplings... this sister-in-law is poisonous.

Fang Yue next to Chu Fan obviously also heard the conversation in the bedroom.

Perhaps his sister-in-law had told them on purpose.

Fang Yue looked embarrassed: "Well, Chu Fan, let's go out. Have you eaten yet? I invite you to eat skewers."

"Okay, I haven't eaten normal food in a long time."

Chu Fan stayed in the spaceship for nine months, and the food prepared in the space ring had already been consumed.

After the food was exhausted, Chu Fan could only eat organic food made in the Silver Front.

This organic food is filling, but tasteless.

Chu Fan followed Fang Yue, left Fang Yue's house, and came to a street barbecue restaurant.

This kind of roadside stall used to be a symbol of cheapness.

But now, the only ones who can eat skewers here are the awakened ones.

Fang Yue ordered some meat skewers and two bottles of Erguotou.

"Chu Fan, my sister-in-law is like that, don't take it to heart."

Chu Fan shook his head: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Chu Fan has seen this kind of petty things with parents.

Chu Fan could tell that Fang Yue's sister-in-law didn't want to see him, and the family didn't seem to be harmonious.

Of course, this is someone else's housework and has nothing to do with Chu Fan.

------

"Fang Yue, I have a question that I am very confused about. With the strength of the imperial capital, has it not expanded outward?"

"The life of the two warriors in your family is so difficult. What should an ordinary family look like?"

Chu Fan asked.

"Shh-"

Fang Yue quickly made a silent gesture to Chu Fan, looked around and found that no one noticed them, so she was relieved.

He whispered: "This question is very complicated. Do you want to lead a large number of awakened people and troops to expand outside the imperial capital, so that people can live in houses and have a lot of arable land?"

"Isn't it?"

Fang Yue shook her head: "Oh, if only it were that simple. There are a lot of interests involved in it."

"Do you think that everyone's life is very hard? No, the life of ordinary people is hard, but these big families and powerful forces have abundant resources in their hands, such as houses."

"They need to go through the house to suck blood, to suck the blood of ordinary people."

"If there are suddenly a lot of houses, they won't be able to suck blood in this way."

"I heard half a year ago that there were some families and forces in the upper echelons who planned to lead the awakened ones to recover Jincheng next to the imperial capital. Later, due to the problem of profit distribution, this plan was shelved."

"So, even if the territory of the imperial capital expands, it will be taken into the pockets of certain families, and ordinary people will not be able to share any resources."

"..."

Fang Yue's words stunned Chu Fan.

"Ugh."

Chu Fan also sighed, this is this cruel world, big families don't care about ordinary people's lives, they only care about their own interests.

While the two were talking, the skewers and Erguotou came to the table.

The skewers on this barbecue stand are made of various insect meat.

Fang Yue said: "Forget it, little people like us don't think about those issues. Let's eat and drink without heart. You try this, grilled locust legs, it's delicious."

The two started to drink together.

Soon, the two bottles of Erguotou were consumed by the two.

Chu Fan was very happy. He hadn't eaten skewers since the era of catastrophe.

Fang Yue shouted to the owner of the barbecue stand: "Boss, two more bottles of Erguotou. And grilled insect meat, another fifty skewers!"

He hadn't had such a good time for a long time. Although he had known Chu Fan for less than a day, he felt that Chu Fan had a good temper with him.

Before he knew it, Fang Yue drank too much.

With his tongue out, he complained to Chu Fan: "You don't know, since my brother got married half a year ago, I've been feeling uncomfortable at home."

"My brother is a third-tier martial artist. If he wants, he can marry a beautiful woman from an ordinary family. But he insists on marrying my sister-in-law because my sister-in-law has a good family background and has some energy in our area."

"My sister-in-law is small-bellied, caressing, and has a bad temper. After coming to my house, she seems to become the manager of our house. She always looks down on me, isn't it just that I am not good enough?"

"And my dad, who accidentally got into a car accident and spent a lot of money on medical treatment, is now lying in bed. I don't dare to get married because I don't want to increase the burden on the family anymore."

"..."

While Chu Fan was eating skewers, he quietly listened to Fang Yue talk about these troublesome things.

Every family has its cupboard.

The life of ordinary people is like this, all kinds of trivial troubles.

Chu Fan didn't know what to say and could only listen to Fang Yue venting her emotions.

After a long time, the two were full of wine and food.

After Fang Yue paid the money, Chu Fan, who was penniless, helped the top-heavy Fang Yue to leave.

After sending the drunk Fang Yue home, Chu Fan left.

--------

"What should we do next?"

Chu Fan now knows that Mausoleum City is safe, so he is not in a hurry to return to Mausoleum City.

Since he came to the imperial capital, he might as well do some tasks before leaving.

Every strange place, to Chu Fan, represents a large amount of strength and mind.

During the nine months in the Silver Front, Chu Fan's force value and mind force value improved very slowly.

Until now, Chu Fan's strength is 9950, and his mind is 9080.

"Go and change some money first, it's hard to move without money."

In Chu Fan's space ring, there are a large amount of supplies in the Silver Front.

But these materials are not suitable for exchange for money.

He thought about it, and thought of one thing, which was the only thing he thought was suitable for money.

Chu Fan walked towards the center of the imperial capital.

The imperial capital, this is the well-deserved number one city in China.

Even with the arrival of the cataclysmic era, it cannot hide its luxury.

Chu Fan found a store selling awakened goods in the bustling commercial street.

In this bustling commercial street, Chu Fan's clothes were incompatible with his surroundings.

Those who can walk here, apart from the awakened ones, are high-level people with rich family backgrounds.

Chu Fan, on the other hand, was wearing ordinary clothes and had a worn-out rucksack on his back.

"Welcome, sir, what do you need?"

As soon as Chu Fan entered the store, a beautiful shop assistant in uniform walked up to him.
