The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 256: Dog Eyes Look Down On People

The crafty maneuver of the scumbag nearly made Jiang Ning burst out laughing; these two seemed even more in sync. 

The living room on the first floor was quite rough, it’s decorated with the furniture from the Jinrong community and looks rather ordinary. 

Seeing Qin Mu looking awkward, Jiang Ning suggested, “Doudou, didn’t you say you wanted to go to the backyard to plant some things? Take Xiao Mu with you to play.” 

The adorable younger sister, with her charming smile and clear, twinkling eyes, reached out her hand to lead Qin Mu along, saying, “Brother Xiao Mu, come with me to dig and plant vegetables.” 

Seeing such a clean and cheerful sister for the first time, Qin Mu suddenly felt less nervous, “Okay.” 

He put down his backpack and followed Doudou to the backyard. 

Worried that Doudou would be at a disadvantage, the dog promptly followed along. 

Before long, laughter from the two children could be heard. 

Jiang Ning went over to take a look, Doudou was teaching Qin Mu how to hoe the land, “Brother Xiao Mu, your moves are wrong…” 

Children were easy to get along with; she didn’t disturb them but went to the space to try planting lotus roots. 

Taking out a vat and placing it in the corner of the black soil garden, she poured in several buckets of water and mud, stirred it, then planted two sections of lotus roots. 

There weren’t many lotus roots stocked before the disaster; almost all had been eaten as pickled snacks. 

She hoped this experimental planting would be successful; otherwise, they would go extinct. 

Coming out of the space, Huo Yishen took the car keys to go out, “I’m going to Aoyuan to see if Master Tu can make a door?” 

Originally, the three of them and the dog were going, but now with Qin Mu here, they needed an adult at home. 

Jiang Ning cautioned, “It should be getting messier over there; be careful on your way.” 

In recent days, the newly renovated villas had been gradually occupied, with trucks coming in and out day and night, as the rich continuously moved their belongings in. 

Yesterday, while exercising on the rooftop, just as a rich lady came out for a walk, seeing the towering outer walls and the cement-plastered houses, her smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a face of undisguised disdain. 

“Look at what the disaster has caused, even cats and dogs can mix in here. I’m afraid there will be no peace in the future.” 

“Who says otherwise? The authorities are really something. They promised so well at the beginning, saying they would do everything to protect our safety, but now? All sorts of messy people can buy houses here.” 

“Guess who I ran into just now when I went out? That person with the surname Qin, the second-rate peddler. What a world we live in, even he can move in.” 

“No way, it’s because you give them too much usually, otherwise, what qualification does he have to live here? It’s all the blood sucked from us.” 

Jiang Ning took out binoculars and memorized their faces. 

What a joke, it’s been three years since the apocalypse, and they still look down on others. 

Isn’t it just about relying on their family’s influence to keep living extravagantly? If they were thrown out, they wouldn’t even last for half a day. 

Even walking in the villa area requires them to bring bodyguards. They’re incredibly spoiled! 

By noon, Qin Chuan came to pick up his son for lunch. Seeing him covered in mud and dust, he was first surprised, then burst into laughter, saying, “It’s rare to see you, boy, having some fun too. Not bad at all!” 

His son was particularly introverted; even when he often called the children of his subordinates to play at home, he rarely spoke, let alone played with mud. 

Couldn’t get a peep out of him, today the sun really rose from the west. 

Reluctantly, Qin Mu said, “Dad, I haven’t finished tilling the land yet, and I still need to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes.” 

“Go ahead, go find Uncle Luo and them for lunch first.” Qin Chuan patted his son’s head, “We also have land at home; I’ll let you plant sweet potatoes there every day.” 

After seeing his son off, he explained to Jiang Ning, “This child has mild autism, he’s not only timid but also like a mute. How did you manage to make him lively?”

They had tried all sorts of methods over the years, but none had worked. 

“You might have protected him too well.” Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, “In fact, I didn’t do anything; it was just Doudou leading him to play, and the dog messing around on the side.” 

“It’s rare that he gets along with others. Let Doudou come to my house more often to play.” 

Doudou also needs friends, it depends on her own willingness, but Jiang Ning didn’t refuse. 

After everyone left, she asked, “Doudou, how do you get along with Xiao Mu?” 

“Brother Xiao Mu is very nice, very obedient.” 

“Do you want to play with him in the future?” 

Doudou thought for a moment, “Sister-in-law, is it okay?” 

Jiang Ning understood her concern, “You can make friends, but you have to be careful and not unconditionally trust others just because you’ve been together for a long time.” 

“Okay, then I’ll occasionally play with him.” 

Huo Yishen came back on time, and the three of them and the dog had dinner. 

“Master Tu said he can do it. Elm wood is known for its high stability, strong impact resistance, and hardness, making it perfect for making doors.” 

Elm wood? Jiang Ning didn’t recognize it. 

There were quite a few woods stored in the space, but they were all cut after dying. Except for recognizing two or three types, she was completely clueless about the others. 

After dinner, the two of them went into the space to select wood, knocking and tapping to choose the sturdiest ones they thought. 

Huo Yishen drove to deliver the wood and came back to pick up Jiang Ning to go to the commercial building. 

Although the commercial building was a backup, they still needed to install the basic doors and windows even if they didn’t plan to renovate. 

He Tianming and the others hadn’t moved in yet, but there were noises coming from the fifth or sixth floor, probably the family members of sharp mouthed monkey and the others. 

Practice makes perfect. In less than half a day, they installed the doors and windows. 

There were many people here, so just in case, they installed iron grilles on the windows before putting in the glass. 

Opening the door was the room, and there was another room inside. 

Used to living in large houses, transitioning to a smaller one was quite uncomfortable. Thinking about He Tianming and the others having to share a house, it’s easy to anticipate the difficulties and she can already see that a lot of conflicts would arise from living in such close quarters. It might not be as harmonious as Aoyuan, but that depends on how he manages it. 

After locking the door and leaving, footsteps came from upstairs. 

Then, a woman in a floral dress appeared. 

Seeing her face, Jiang Ning was momentarily stunned. 

Apart from the wealthy area, she couldn’t remember the last time she saw a woman with makeup on. 

Bright red lips, slender figure, beautiful face, big eyes with a shrewd and aggressive aura. 

It wasn’t easy to live so brightly in the apocalypse, either you have strong abilities yourself, or you found a powerful man. 

Jiang Ning glanced at her fair hand and probably knew whose wife she was. 

The other party also looked over, looking quite surprised. 

Jiang Ning didn’t linger; she took the keys and went downstairs. 

… 

Qin Chuan’s house was quickly renovated, and the glass for both houses was also settled. 

Steel frames were erected, and glass sheds were set up to cover the entire rooftop. 

Two hundred square meters of glass rooms, quite spacious. 

Despite some rich people looking down on them, they were still amazed to see the glass room on the top floor. 

There were even people who came to inquire, but Jiang Ning pretended not to hear, and didn’t speak up at all. 

Qin Chuan, on the other hand, was quite enthusiastic, wanting to do business with the rich, and came over to ask if he could handle the glass resources. 

If available, he wanted to get them from her first. 

There was plenty at her space, but Jiang Ning didn’t want to profit from it. “No, yours is the last batch.” 

Qin Chuan still took the business and made a hefty profit. 

He wasn’t deaf or blind; how could he not notice the inherent sense of superiority some people carried? But, if he didn’t take advantage of them, who else would he exploit? 

The power grid also came back, but Jiang Ning didn’t rush to install it. 

This was a consumable, and the eternal day was relatively safe. It wouldn’t be too late to install it when the eternal night came. 

“Do you have time the day after tomorrow?” Qin Chuan invited, “I’m hosting a housewarming banquet, you guys should come over for a drink.”
