This kind of thing happened more and more frequently. All the bases in the country became gloomy. The only one that was better off was the Qin Family in the capital.
The last batch of vegetables that had been shipped to the Qin family had just solved their urgent needs. In the letter, Old Master Qin said that he hoped that Shao Qing would hide the fact that the vegetables in her vegetable base were still very good.
Old Master Qin had said that sometimes, people had to be selfish. If they were discovered, there would definitely be people who would use the slogan of "for the sake of humanity" to force Shao Qing to reveal the secret of why the vegetables she grew were not affected.
It might even lead to a siege. After all, many people thought that those who were not of their kind must have different intentions.
In their eyes, Shao Qing was a zombie and a heretic. If Shao Qing refused to tell them her secret, she would definitely be besieged. And they would not feel guilty at all, because they would besiege zombies.
Therefore, Master Qin asked her not to send any more vegetables and to hide the secret. Shao Qing read the whole letter calmly. She was very calm.
She was very clear that the secret could not be hidden. If someone was willing to investigate, he or she would find out soon. The vegetables were exported from Jiang City, so she didn't care about being discovered.
Calculating the time, the vegetables should be eaten up. Shao Qing immediately called Shao Tong to come over. She asked Shao Tong to escort the second batch of vegetables and her letter to the capital with several senior zombies.
In the letter, she said clearly that no one could take anything away from her unless she was willing to give it away. The Qin Family was also her family. They didn't need to talk to each other.
She also asked Master Qin to send people to pick up vegetables and fruits regularly. After all, most of the people in Jiang City were zombies. It was inconvenient to escort things.
Six days later, Yan Hanqing and the others returned, covered in dust. They also brought back something.
They brought back a plant. It was round and looked like a ball. It had a mouth. As long as its belly was poked, it would make a sound of "haha".
Although this thing looked stupid, cute, and strange, it was actually a good item. There was a liquid in its stomach that could instantly heal a person's wound. As long as it was not a fatal wound, it could save anyone.
Previously, Shao Qing had said that she was going to tame the seventh mutant plant, and she hoped that it would be a healing-type plant. After all, that was what she needed right now.
Coincidentally, Yan Hanqing came across it, so he brought it back.
Shao Qing tamed the plant without hesitation and named it Da Bai. Da Bai liked to lie on people's heads. When it was needed, it would extend its white and soft tentacles that were like jelly. When it touched a person's wound, liquid would flow out from the tip of the tentacles.
Shao Qing liked it very much. She especially liked to pinch it. Therefore, when she first got it, the entire Jiang City was filled with Da Bai's "haha" laughter. Fortunately, there were not many people in Jiang City. Otherwise, someone would definitely sue Shao Qing for disturbing the people.
A few men liked her very much. She was very energetic and looked much younger. She almost became a child again.
Moreover, after Da Bai was born, even the little bun abandoned Ya Ya. Every day, he would act like a spoiled child to Shao Qing. "Mama, I want to hug Da Bai …"
Ya Ya felt wronged and hugged her only big ear. She hid in a corner and cried secretly. She looked very pitiful.
Along with the vegetables, Shao Qing's letter arrived in the capital. After Old Master Qin read the letter, although he said that she was fooling around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. His daughter. Even though she was his wife, she was more filial than his biological daughter. He hadn't raised this daughter for nothing. She knew how to dote on people.
Then, he was worried. He knew very well what those people were like. Once the matter was exposed, they would definitely do anything to deal with his daughter.
Old Master Qin had never given in to anyone in his life. In the end, he gritted his teeth and got someone to send some vegetables and a letter to the Tan family.
Old Master Tan was Shao Qing's biological father. Didn't you see that he even sent Tan Xiao to Shao Qing? If the Tan family dared to stand up for Shao Qing, then he would be willing to give half of his daughter to the Tan family even if he had to grit his teeth.
When Old Master Tan received the vegetables and the letter, he was a little confused. He and Old Master Qin had never gotten along well. He had never received a gift from Old Master Qin before.
When he opened the message, he understood why Old Master Qin had sent the item over. Old Master Tan had never let down Heaven, Earth, or anyone else in his life, but he had let down these two people.
One was Shao Qing, and the other was Shao Qing's biological mother.
After he read the letter, he was silent for a long time. In the end, he ordered someone to transport the vegetables and store them. That night, Old Master Tan sat in the study all night. He only returned to his room to rest when the sun rose.
After all, this decision concerned the survival of the entire Tan family. He had let down Shao Qing, but it was very likely that he would destroy the entire Tan family for the sake of his daughter. Was it worth it?
Not only was he Shao Qing's father, but he was also the head of the Tan family. He had to be responsible for the entire family.
The next morning, when Old Master Tan walked out of the study, his voice was soft but firm. He said one word, "It's worth it!"
He had sacrificed his entire life for the Tan family, for the country, and for the people. It was time for him to be selfish for once.
His daughter had been stolen when she was very young. She had suffered for more than 20 years and had even turned into a zombie during the apocalypse. That was his daughter. He had even held Shao Qing when she was very young. Her soft and small body was like a ball of cotton. He was afraid that he would hurt and break the child if he squeezed even a little harder.
However, his daughter had suffered for more than twenty years. How could he bear to let his daughter be bullied like that again?
So what if she was a zombie? A zombie was also his daughter. She was also his flesh and blood!
If anyone wanted to bully his daughter, they would have to step over his dead body. They would have to trample the entire Tan family into dust. Otherwise, no one would be able to bully his daughter.
Old Master Tan had a hard time making this decision. However, once he made the decision, he felt relaxed. It was as if a mountain had been lifted off his shoulders.
The old man's back was slightly bent. As he walked toward his bedroom, he mumbled to himself, "I will protect our daughter … Even if I have to give up something that I have guarded for fifty to sixty years, I will not hesitate to do so."
"Master, do you want to eat something?" the housekeeper asked kindly.
Old Master Tan sniffed. He suddenly remembered that the vegetables that Old Master Qin had sent over were grown by his daughter. He said, "Vegetable porridge. Use the vegetables that were sent over today!"
