Chapter 187: Chapter 112: Cai Zhi Trains His Wife, Sun Da and His Son, Points Break Ten Thousand_2

"Yaoyao had her period last month and there were no sanitary pads available. I had to use clothes to make pads for her."

"But those clothes aren’t as clean and sanitary as sanitary pads."

"And there’s no toilet paper. Every time we go to the toilet, we have to use water to rinse..."

She mentioned these things and tears started to fall.

Cai Zhi, however, didn’t show any understanding but instead became furious.

He grabbed his wife’s arm, holding back his anger, and said, "You went to act as an intermediary for these things, urging Yang Mei to negotiate conditions with Liang Yuan?"

"Are these things really necessary? Does having a period definitely require sanitary pads? Why can’t you use cotton cloth?"

"No toilet paper, what’s wrong with rinsing with water?"

"Do you realize what times we are living in now? You still care about these material conditions?"

"Don’t use our daughter as an excuse for everything. I’m telling you, Liang Yuan is kind-hearted and doesn’t hold it against you."

"Our whole family is eating thanks to Liang Yuan now. What is this behavior of yours?"

"It’s using Liang Yuan’s resources to gain benefits. If it were Liu Erlong or Wang Ze’s group, would you dare to do this?"

"Don’t mistake kindness for weakness. You know he can kill without mercy!"

Cai Zhi glared at his wife angrily, feeling utterly frustrated.

He couldn’t believe that they had just moved from the corridor into the room and barely had enough food to eat for a few days.

How could his wife start doing such a foolish thing?

Wu Qian’s face turned pale, and she said trembling, "I... I didn’t think that much. I just thought Zhang Lanjuan’s husband is pretty decent too. Sun Da, you know him, he’s quite honest."

"I thought Ding Yan’s side was in need of people anyway, so what’s the harm in putting a word in."

Cai Zhi couldn’t help scolding, "Nonsense! Don’t you know that your few words make people feel disgusted?"

"Leaving such an impression on people, how can things be good for us in the future?"

"Huh? Well... what should we do now? Liang Yuan won’t hold a grudge against me, will he?" Wu Qian asked in panic.

Cai Zhi took a deep breath, "Probably not. Liang Yuan is ruthless to enemies, but he has never mistreated us."

"Such things are unlikely to cause conflicts."

"But I’m warning you, if you privately do such things again, you might as well quit the fish-slaying job and stay at home quietly."

Wu Qian started crying but dared not argue back.

She knew she had indeed talked too much today.

If she hadn’t taken Zhang Lanjuan’s things, it wouldn’t have been a big deal.

But she took Zhang Lanjuan’s things and then spoke up for her, which changed the nature of the situation.

Just as Cai Zhi said, it’s like using Liang Yuan’s resources for personal benefit.

Anyone knowing this would feel displeased.

That’s why Cai Zhi was so angry, his wife doing such a foolish thing.

It really left him speechless.

Their family had finally managed to hug a big thigh.

Now that Liang Yuan had risen, he was kind-hearted, remembering their camaraderie from killing Liu Erlong together and took good care of their family.

Otherwise, Cai Zhi had not awakened any mutant ability, only doing some manual labor that anyone else could do.

Why would they make him the Patrol Team Captain?

Why would they let his wife slay fish?

Even providing them with three meals a day.

If small favors from others lead to betraying Liang Yuan’s benefits.

If conflicts and estrangement arise, that would be truly foolish.

That’s why Cai Zhi was so angry and yelled at his wife.

"I will go to Liang Yuan tomorrow and apologize. This matter should pass."

"Afterward, when you go to Yang Mei to slay fish, keep your mouth in check. Think about what you should and shouldn’t say and use your brain!"

Wu Qian didn’t dare say a word and nodded while wiping her tears.

These are different times after the great flood.

Before, even if she was wrong, Cai Zhi wouldn’t dare speak to her like this.

But now, she truly understood how harsh the world had become.

If she treated her husband with a pre-flood mentality, she would probably be laughed at by those women outside.

She was over forty, youth gone, body out of shape, incomparable with young women.

Following Liang Yuan, Cai Zhi wouldn’t lack women.

If she acted foolishly, she might really be abandoned.

The era of being pampered was gone forever.

This post-apocalyptic world values strength above all.

...

Zhang Lanjuan returned home. Her husband Sun Da had already prepared the meal.

Though calling it a meal, it was just some rice cooked with a fish.

"Wife, you’re back?"

Sun Da hurried to greet her.

Times have changed. Sun Da used to work as a machinist in a workshop. As an old hand, he could make seven to eight thousand a month.

Back then, Zhang Lanjuan only worked as a stock clerk in a supermarket.

At that time, Sun Da was the head of the household.

But now, everything was reversed. Zhang Lanjuan, recommended by Wu Qian, had gotten a fish-slaying job.

She not only got three meals a day covered but could occasionally bring home some leftovers.

Sun Da could only go fishing. Lacking experience, he caught just three to five fish a day, at most.

As the saying goes, money gives men courage. Now Sun Da felt weak, unable to stand tall in front of his wife.

After all, his wife was the one supporting the family now.

Zhang Lanjuan, excitedly, said, "It’s done. Liang Yuan said tomorrow you should go find Ding Yan. Tomorrow you can become a patrol team member."

Sun Da immediately showed a face full of joy and excitement, "Really? Oh my, Is... is it really that easy?"
