Chapter 20

With the idea of maintaining family harmony, and because her in-laws doted on her, Liu Lingming did not dare to openly blame An MeiYun for bullying her child. But that did not mean she was unaware of what was going on.

From then on, whenever she was around, she would hold on tightly to her son and not let him get close to An MeiYun's daughter.

When she was at work, it was her mother-in-law who looked after the child. She did not dare to tell her mother-in-law not to let the boy go near An MeiYun's daughter. Fortunately, her son was also reluctant to get close to the girl, and would rather follow Zhou Nan around like a little tail when she was busy, than play with An MeiYun's daughter.

It was reassuring that her in-laws and three younger brothers-in-law were all good people. Children have the purest hearts, and can sense who likes them. He would naturally only get close to those who liked him.

If An MeiYun could really leave this family, Liu Lingming would have less to worry about in the future. She would not have to keep worrying about her child being bullied when she was not around.

As for the young aunt who had just returned, she seemed to like children too. But Liu Lingming did not know if it was genuine or just an act to get on her good side.

In any case, as long as she did not bully her son, she was not the nitpicking type.

At this time, inside An ZhiXia's room, after An JingZhi and Zhou Nan had left, An ZhiXia had also wiped away her tears and was lying on the bed trying to calm herself down.

She did not mean to say such sharp words to hurt them intentionally. When she hurt them, she was not feeling good inside either.

But An MeiYun wanted to step on the whole family to climb up. Leaving her at home was like leaving a ticking time bomb that would explode sooner or later.

After a long while, An ZhiXia finally calmed down.

An ZhiAng knocked on the door and called her out to wash up.

Only then did An ZhiXia get up to open the door. Other than her red-rimmed eyes, she looked quite normal.

An ZhiAng was still very careful when he spoke to her, "Younger sister, I just went out on my bike to buy you a toothbrush. Go wash up and then sleep." "Thank you, fourth brother, for going through the trouble. I've just arrived, and don't know which basin in the house is for washing faces, so I'll have to trouble fourth brother to show me."

An ZhiXia smiled sweetly. Only then did An ZhiAng breathe a sigh of relief, "Come, fourth brother will bring you there."

Although the An Family was not lacking, they had not split up the family assets. Things like food, clothing, and supplies were shared by all.

For example, the basins for washing faces and feet, and the cups for brushing teeth, were for common use.

Of course, because there were many family members, the quantities could not be just one each.

Only An ZhiXian, being a medical student, was more fastidious. He had gone to buy a separate cup that he did not allow others to use. As a result, he was often ostracized by his other two brothers.

Under An ZhiAng's care, An ZhiXia tidied herself up before returning to her room again, locking the door as she entered.

She was in no hurry to rest. Instead, she entered her space.

The farming tycoon had delivered the goods to her. An ZhiXia chose to receive them. The items were automatically stored in the storage grid below. She then extracted the items from the storage grid. 20 identical large boxes instantly filled up the room, leaving her with barely any space to stand.

Fortunately, similar boxes could be stacked endlessly in the storage grid. Otherwise, it would not be suitable for large transactions without expanding the storage grid.

An ZhiXia quickly kept half of the boxes back into the storage grid before starting to unpack them.

The boxes sent by the farming tycoon were large cardboard boxes. He had even thoughtfully labelled the contents with a pen. An ZhiXia opened a box of snacks, and her eyes instantly lit up.

Potato chips, puffed snacks...

They were all things that she could only watch enviously as others ate in her previous life, but was unable to eat herself.

There was also a large box of various beverages. An ZhiXia took a can of cola, opened it and drank a mouthful. The strange taste filled her mouth, but it tasted pretty good.

But she knew that drinking too much of such things was bad for the body. So she only took a few sips before putting it aside.

These things packed in boxes were food and supplies, snacks, clothes, toilet paper, and other very ordinary but practical things from the farming tycoon's era.

Perhaps noticing that the items sent had been received, the farming tycoon sent a message shortly after, "Ms Tycoon, are you there?"

Ms Tycoon from the past: "Yes, I'm here. I've seen the things you sent. They are all very practical items. Thank you, farming tycoon."

Farming tycoon: "It's what I should do. Since you're here, please receive the remaining items. Living things can't be stored in the storage grid, otherwise they'll die from lack of oxygen after being in there for an extended time. So you'll need to receive them quickly and take them out." Ms Tycoon from the past: "No problem." Almost as soon as the message was sent, items started transmitting continuously from the other side.

One pair of pigs, one pair of sheep, one pair of yellow cattle, one pair of dairy cattle, chicken, ducks, geese, rabbits - all according to An ZhiXia's requirements, one male and one female, in pairs.

On An ZhiXia's side, after receiving them, she immediately used her consciousness to transmit them outside the house. Otherwise, there was no way the house could fit so many animals.

More supplies were then transmitted over. An ZhiXia directly said she did not need grains. The farming tycoon then sorted out some of the items he normally kept and gave them to her.

Farming tycoon: "That's all for now. I'll give you the rest tomorrow."

Ms Tycoon from the past: "Okay, see you tomorrow then."

The two bid their goodbyes and went about their own business.

Seeing that the icon on the post-apocalyptic side was still dark, An ZhiXia did not linger on the trading system interface. Instead, she started planning for the animals.

She put the pigs, sheep and 4 cattle into the mountains. The remaining chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits were kept on the grasslands. There was a river not far away, perfect for the ducks and swans to swim in.

An ZhiXia also used her consciousness to collect all the grains in the paddy fields, stacking them on the ground since there were no bags. She then scattered some of it on the grasslands to feed the chickens.

The ducks and geese could catch fish in the river. The rabbits could eat the grass. She did not have to worry about feeding them.

An ZhiXia thought about releasing some bugs to feed the chickens. But she was worried the bugs would multiply too quickly, resulting in a plague in her space.

While busying herself, she did not know how much time had passed. But she felt exceptionally fulfilled and happy.

The farming tycoon had even prepared bath buckets for her. The temperature in the room could be adjusted using the trading system interface. She turned up the temperature and prepared hot water for a bath in the house.

Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel - those things she had been interested in but could only look at and not use in her previous life, she tried them all.

After her bath, she put on a nightgown and happily applied skin care products.

She had only worn one set of clothes since coming from the countryside, and did not bring anything with her. So she would have to wear the clothes Zhou Zhi Zhi lent her again tomorrow morning.

An ZhiXia washed her clothes clean and hung them to dry in her space. She then took out a wok, wanting to make some food for herself.

The complimentary house that came with the trading system only had electric stoves in the kitchen. And electricity had to be purchased with star coins.
