Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 422 Daily Wasteland Collection (50)

"I can't worry about so many things. Besides, we are only doing short-distance business for now." The mercenaries go and come back on the same day, so the probability of conflict is not high.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, scooped up a large spoonful of food and put it into her mouth to chew.

The aroma of the rice and the stewed meat mixed together, just one bite is enough to make people satisfied.

Mentioning that there might be encounters with wild mutant beasts during recent hunting, Shen Yao asked Cheng Qi to pay more attention to safety and try not to stray too far from the team.

Cheng Qi smiled and nodded, indicating that he would not be so stupid. The mercenary team was not universally friendly, and there were always a few annoying people.

The family of three finished their dinner, cleaned themselves up, turned off the lights and went to bed.

…………

In the next few days, Cheng Qi followed the mercenary team to earn points from morning till night. Qiu Ye took Man Man on the base bus to the collection point outside to pick wild vegetables. It was not until the slightly injured people such as Qian Dasao recovered that Shen Yao found a collection partner, and the daily solo work turned into a multi-person partnership.

However, Mrs. Qian might still be frightened. After she recovered, she didn't dare to organize people as recklessly as before. She only picked those who had good relationships with her. When she asked others, she just said that there was not enough time.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao secretly complained to Cheng Qi about Mrs. Qian's style of doing things. She said the change was too fast and too extreme, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the accident.

"This time, the mercenary team lost a lot of points and supplies in one go, and even sold the houses in the outer area to the base," Cheng Qi put down the half-read book, took Shen Yao's hand and explained the current predicament of the mercenary team. It will not be resolved for the time being, but the distribution standards promised before have to be reduced.

"Some people are not satisfied." After all, not all families had relatives or friends injured or killed in this accident. There are many cases like Shen Yao and Cheng Qi.

It's just that Shen Yao and Cheng Qi are usually low-key and introverted and don't fight or compete with each other, which makes their family seem peaceful.

But this calm is only an appearance. Once the money house is unable to suppress the troublemakers in the mercenary team, this mercenary team, which has been operating well for several years, will fall apart like snowflakes.

It also indirectly illustrates the high accident rate in the mutant world. Even if you have a good time today, it does not mean that tomorrow will be good. Ups and downs are the norm.

Shen Yao was also in a difficult situation, because the people gathered around Mrs. Qian were more or less her confidants, and her family had just arrived at Base No. 25 not long ago, so they didn't want to attract too much attention. However, by accident, they attracted more attention.

"We'll take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, we'll find another mercenary team to join after we move into the inner area. We won't just have the Qian family mercenary team to wait for."

The Qian family was chosen after comprehensive consideration based on the character of the money house.

They certainly won't withdraw immediately now, but when the situation gets out of control, they may not be able to stay even if they don't want to leave.

Shen Yao:......

What could Shen Yao say? There was nothing wrong with what Cheng Qi said.

They are also ordinary people in the base. They live their lives seriously every day just to make their lives better. There is no need to make things difficult for themselves.

After the couple finished chatting, they turned around and walked out, continuing to maintain a low profile.

Don't answer things that you shouldn't answer, don't say things that you shouldn't say, and don't do things that you shouldn't do.

Under the three no principles, the advantage is that Shen Yao and Cheng Qi were not involved in the affairs of the Qian family mercenary team. The disadvantage is also obvious. Both the money house and other core figures of the mercenary team began to tacitly marginalize Cheng Qi.

Cheng period:......

It cannot be said that Cheng Qi did not think of this possibility, but when the fact really happened, facing the somewhat embarrassed and helpless look of the money bank, Cheng Qi chose to accept it.

He proposed to leave the Qian family mercenary team that day, and left work early and returned home along with the car he drove.

Shen Yao:……?

"Are you quitting?" Important supplies like cars are usually kept by the mercenary team for easy use.

Today, Cheng Qi came back, contrary to his usual behavior. Shen Yao could understand after a quick thought.

Cheng Qi nodded, indicating that he was unemployed, but he was not in a hurry to find another job and could wait until he got a house in the inner district.

"Is this house still being sold to the Qian family?" Shen Yao stood in the courtyard and pointed behind her. They had not yet revealed any intention of moving.

Originally, Cheng Qi was planning to wait until the Qian family mercenary team became more stable before slowly mentioning it, trying not to draw attention.

Now, all the good plans have become waste paper. After all their hard work, the two of them have indirectly achieved their idea of ​​not being noticed.

Cheng Qi touched his chin and said, "Let's sell it. It can also be used as an alternative." As the saying goes, when doing business, as long as you don't lose money, it doesn't matter who you sell it to.

Shen Yao shrugged her shoulders when she heard this, indicating that there was no rush about this matter. Since Cheng Qi was back and there was an extra laborer available at home, she would do the work in the yard first. She was just worrying about how to chop the firewood.

Cheng Qi rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, waved his hand and asked Shen Yao to go back to the house to rest. He took off his coat, revealing a pair of muscular and explosive arms.

Bang——Crack——

The dried firewood was split in half and scattered around the yard.

Cheng Qi first sorted out the firewood that needed to be processed, then picked it up and placed it against the wall at the entrance. In order to prevent the firewood from getting damp, he placed thick rainproof cloth above and below.

After finishing all these, Cheng Qi clapped his hands and turned to go in.

"Brother Cheng"

The leg that had just stepped in stopped immediately. Cheng Qi turned his head and saw a person standing outside the door.

Cheng Qi walked over and greeted the other person with a smile, but he didn't invite anyone in. He seemed to be casual and just wanted to talk about anything.

The person at the door: ...

The corner of Fu Yong's mouth twitched, and he cursed Cheng Qi in his heart for being ungrateful. He could have stayed if he had just shown a little kindness, but he insisted on being stubborn. He deserved to be kicked out by Brother Qian.

"Brother Cheng, I'm here on behalf of Brother Qian. Brother Qian didn't expect what happened today. You..." Fu Yong felt that Cheng Qi should lower his head.

"Brother Fu, I am not suitable for the mercenary team. I will just go around the base in the future. However, if Brother Qian wants to use the car, I will give you a friendly price. It was Brother Qian who kindly invited me in the first place, and I will remember the favor."

However, no matter how much more he said, Cheng Qi refused to agree. He still liked freedom and did not want to be bound by his thoughts.

It is obvious that the money shop cannot suppress his brothers, including Fu Yong who is looking for him now. He must look down on them.

Fu Yong: …

Fu Yong really looked down on Cheng Qi, and the only reason he came here was to give face to the car.

Now that Cheng Qi’s performance seems reasonable, let’s just do this.

With a grin and a few polite words, Fu Yong turned and left, making the excuse that the mercenary team had something urgent to do.

Cheng period:......

Do you really think he is a fool? The bank's mercenary team might have to change their names.

"Who was that person that just spoke to you?"

"A clown who can't see the full extent of his own abilities."

"..."

The clown came and left quickly. Perhaps Fu Yong didn't want Cheng Qi to go back. I don't know what this guy said to the Qian family. Since then, no one related to the Qian family mercenary team has come to visit again.

Cheng Qi and Shen Yao became unemployed people. The most common thing they did on weekdays was to drive the three of them to the outside of the base to pick food.

In most cases, their apparent harvest was barely enough for food, so they would basically go out once a day. Since they had cars as a means of transportation, they could always return safely no matter how far the distance was.

In fact, the space was already filled with much more supplies than what was taken outside.

While they were busy collecting, the two also contacted some pearl buyers and concluded several business deals, including two orders for pearls containing energy.

The negotiation for the house in the inner area that Shen Yao liked had already been concluded with the owner. One early morning, both parties went to the Housing Authority to register and then put the house under their names up for sale. Shen Yao's biggest worry since coming to the base was finally resolved, and she could enjoy life better from now on.

"Here are the keys to the new house. Let's go take a look and move in during these few days."

Time flies so fast. The mild season that we have enjoyed for a short time is about to pass, and the extremely annoying hot and rainy season is coming with full force.

There is a large population in the outer area within the base, and various problems always arise during the hot and rainy seasons.

Just because Shen Yao and her family didn’t make it when they came last year doesn’t mean there’s no problem with the house they live in.

"We can buy whatever we need from the exchange center with pearls. There is still some left in the box, enough for our daily expenses."

Some of the money was originally sold to the Qian family, but since the relationship between the two parties had ended so completely, Cheng Qi and Shen Yao did not want to create any more trouble, so they simply sold it all to the exchange center.

Although the prices at the exchange center are not as good as those at private venues, they are at least reliable.

As the external face of the base, the importance of the exchange center is evident.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi have now successfully acquired the inner-area house, and some of the medicines in the exchange center are also open to them for purchase. So what are they waiting for? They must go there to buy, buy, buy.

The two of them first spent about three days moving the house from the outer area to the inner area, and then drove to the redemption center to exchange the pearls for a large amount of points before making the purchase.

Things like nutritional supplements for children are bought; watches for children are bought; and medicines that can stimulate children's growth and development are bought even more.

The points that had just come in were returned by Shen Yao in a running manner. When the two of them came out with the child, not only were most of the points in the watch cleared, but they also owed points to the redemption center.

Shen Yao, Cheng Qi: ...

Leaving the crazy environment, the adrenaline bursting out of the body suddenly drops, and people gradually regain their composure.

She clasped her hands on her face, feeling extremely ashamed, and she hadn't come to her senses yet when Shen Yao got into the car.

"With our ability to make money, we can pay off this debt very quickly. I heard there's a cake shop around the corner. Can we buy some and try it?"

The inner area is different from the outer area. The outer area is full of people and there are very few shops, while the inner area is like a commercial street in modern society. The dazzling array of shops is overwhelming, and the prices are very reasonable.

"Buy it. I've already spent so many points." It doesn't matter at all.

Shen Yao held her chin, lowered her head and looked at the fat girl in her arms, a faint smile revealed between her eyebrows.

In any case, now that they have a house in the inner area, they have finally settled down completely in the base, and their wandering hearts are no longer on the go. This is something worth celebrating.

I bought the biggest and roundest cake in the cake shop, spending my few points again.

The family of three returned home, had a delicious meal first, and then went to work to earn money to pay off their debts.

Their timely relocation also saved themselves from a lot of trouble.

Qian Zhuang and Fu Yong came to Cheng Qi to borrow his car for a long trip, but they didn't expect that Cheng Qi's house had already been sold and the new owner didn't know them. He drove them away after a brief conversation.

The mutant world has great protection for private space. If you break into someone else's home without permission, you will not be held responsible even if you are beaten to death by the homeowner.

Neither the money shop nor Fu Yong knew Cheng Qi's current address, so they had to return empty-handed and chose to do business with the leasing bank.

Unexpectedly, the Qian family mercenary team's lack of unity during this trip led to a tragedy.

By the time Shen Yao and Cheng Qi received the news, the Qian family mercenary team had disappeared, and the small and medium-sized forces of dozens of people disappeared without a trace.

Shen Yao:...Hmm?

"What on earth is going on? Did we encounter a group of mutant beasts?"

Shen Yao asked Cheng Qi for information, mainly because she was curious about the reason why the Qian family mercenary team was destroyed.

Cheng Qi spread his hands, "I only heard that there was an unnecessary conflict within the team when they came back from hunting, and it had nothing to do with the mutant beasts outside."

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao's expression was indescribable. Is the Qian family mercenary team so abstract? They were getting along well before. This shouldn't be the case.

"Before, it was because the Qian family mercenary team had sufficient funds that everyone could get along well with each other," Cheng Qi said meaningfully, pointing out that the current situation was entirely their own fault. Although Qian Zhuang has a good character, he is too friendly and lacks dignity.

If people's morale is low and the team leader is unable to resolve the problem, one can imagine what the outcome will be.

Shen Yao sighed, "Mrs. Qian is a good person, but the Qian family is really in trouble."

It's a complete failure, with no chance of success at all.

Because this was an internal fight within the mercenary team, there was no compensation for the deaths.

Fortunately, Qianzhuang was still alive, but his arms, legs and feet were injured. In order to avoid hidden dangers, he had to go to the hospital for treatment.

As for Fu Yong, who had come to look for Cheng Qi but looked down on him? No one knew where his soul had gone.

Cheng Qi found some time and went to the hospital to visit Qian Zhuang who was hospitalized.

After all, we have worked together before. I can't help much, but it's okay to show my face.

"Brother Qian and the others are planning to form a mercenary team?" Shen Yao was picking vegetables for tonight. They were so tender that juice would ooze out when pinched, and they tasted great when mixed with cold dishes.

"They plan to return to the inner district to live. After so many years, they must have saved some money," Cheng Qi took out the bamboo baskets he had woven from the studio and arranged them neatly according to the size of their bodies. "It may not be a bad thing for them to not worry about so many things and live a good life."

The money bank's soft-heartedness doomed the mercenary team to fail, but it was just that it had good luck before, and the mercenary team developed smoothly without any hardships.

This is just an accident, and all the family assets in other areas have been lost. I guess the bank doesn’t want to do it again, and they must be afraid of being cheated.

Shen Yao was deeply touched. What was worrying was not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth. Was this the fault of the bank? Everyone was responsible.
