“Brother Yu, what do we do with these people?” Li Yao didn’t know what to do with these dozen or so people.

They had all been stopped when they tried to snatch food.

“Let’s keep them for now, and give them some food.”

They were short on labor, and he needed manpower to build a proper walled base.

“Can, can we have some food?” The man was overjoyed to hear that.

“Yes! Are you an Evolver?”

The man was noticeably stronger than the others.

“Yes! And my brother too!” The man quickly stated his worth, pulling his younger brother forward.

A little boy of about eight or nine was pulled over, an Evolver, but probably a bit weak due to long-term malnutrition.

However, this was the first time they had seen such a young Evolver.

They had never seen a child evolve successfully.

The little boy was a little nervous; he had personally seen those people with no food roasting and eating human corpses! It had caused him great shock.

“Give them two portions of food each.”

The two of them were so excited when they heard this that they even knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yu! They knew how precious food was now!

“But I’m going to make it clear, no snatching here! No fighting! Obey orders!”

“Otherwise, you’ll be kicked out of the base, and in severe cases, you’ll be taken care of directly.”

Su Yu coldly swept his gaze over them, and several people trembled; it was a murderous gaze.

“We wouldn’t dare! We wouldn’t dare! We will definitely obey orders!” The man quickly said.

After arranging things for them, Li Yao gave each of them a sweet potato, and the two Evolvers received an extra portion each.

These people were starving, so hungry that they were dizzy, even stuffing dirt into their mouths.

These sweet potatoes were raw, but they didn’t even bother to roast them; everyone picked up the sweet potatoes and started gnawing on them.

“Tomorrow, send some people to build a fence around the villa area first.”

“Okay.”

In another time and space, Xia Qing woke up and saw that several large bags of the steamed buns she had put in her space yesterday were missing.

The small cabinet was filled with many things, all kinds of jewelry, and a large gold watch that looked quite valuable, with small diamonds embedded around it.

There was also a songbook, and the lyrics were really good! She found a classical-style lyric that was perfect for her novel.

She immediately uploaded it.

Early in the morning, Yang Mei came over, proposing to take her maternal grandmother to the hospital for a check-up; she had already made an appointment in advance.

Yang Xia also went along, and Xia Qing didn’t follow; she wanted to deal with some of the things she could sell during this trip to Shanghai.

She took the gold watch directly to a pawnshop.

“The origin of this gold watch is unknown, but there are diamonds around it, plus the gold watch itself, and the dial inside is also made of diamonds.”

“If you sell it outright, I can give you more money,” said the slightly overweight man with glasses.

The origin of this watch was unknown, but it was indeed a good watch.

“Then how much is it worth? 250,000 yuan, that’s the highest I can offer!” the man said sincerely.

“Then I’ll sell it outright!”

“Good!” The man was delighted; they were also happy to receive such a straightforward sale.

This watch really suited his aesthetic, all glittering with gold!

She then went to a gold recycling shop and sold a lot of other things.

Su Yu had left her a message that he had found Tian Rui’s home and a jewelry box in the basement.

Inside was a pink diamond worth tens of millions! And tens of millions worth of jewelry!

Xia Qing was instantly excited! Tens of millions in their era meant that this pink diamond was auction-level, worth at least hundreds of millions now!

She didn’t dare take it out to sell now! Auction-level items would be a huge loss to sell to these jewelry stores!

She needed to have enough capital before she could take these out and make them seem ordinary.

She sold another million yuan this morning, and now she had over ten million yuan.

First, she needed to use this money to make more money, and second, she needed to buy food for Su Yu’s side.

Thinking about this, she already had an idea. After finishing things here, she would return home.

She would open a store in Hancheng, so she could buy large quantities of vegetables.

Mulling over a few ideas, she felt a little thirsty and bought a 25-yuan cup of milk tea from the nearby milk tea shop.

Her phone rang, and Xia Qing looked down to see that it was her mother calling.

As soon as she answered the phone, Yang Xia’s flustered voice came through.

“Qingqing, come to the hospital quickly! Your maternal grandmother’s condition is not good!”

Xia Qing instantly tensed up and quickly took a taxi to the hospital.

In the hospital office, the Old Lady was sitting outside, seemingly knowing something.

“This is the situation. The old woman is old, but I see that her physical condition is still good. My suggestion is to have surgery.”

“If she doesn’t have surgery, then with the old woman’s current heart failure, she probably has at most a month left.”

“Then what about having surgery?”

“If she has it, and if there are no other underlying conditions, then she will have at least 5 years.”

This was a major hospital in Shanghai, and they believed in their technology.

“How could this be? She was fine half a year ago when she had a check-up in the county hospital!” Yang Xia’s eyes were red.

The conditions in the county hospital were definitely different from those in first-tier cities.

“She must have had some symptoms, she would have been very uncomfortable sleeping,” the doctor sighed.

“The old woman doesn’t have medical insurance and doesn’t want to go to the hospital every time,” Yang Xia said, thinking of something.

“Do it! We’ll do this surgery!” Yang Mei said.

“Yes, do it!” Yang Xia also said firmly.

Since they had come to a major hospital in Shanghai and could be treated, they had to treat her!

Yang Xia immediately called their uncle to tell him about the situation.

Their maternal grandfather was still at home, and he almost came over when he heard this, but he was old and his legs were not good, and his uncle couldn’t leave.

There were children at home, as well as the elderly and the land! The two of them couldn’t come.

“Xiaoxia, give me your bank account number! I’ll transfer 50,000 yuan to you first,” Yang Zhiyuan said.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhiyuan said to his wife, “Transfer 50,000 yuan to our second sister! Damn it, the surgery needs 250,000 yuan.”

“So much money? But that’s for Lele to go to college next year, and Yueyue has to go to school too,” Hu Fang said reluctantly.

“Then my mom has to be treated!” Yang Zhiyuan said impatiently.

“Then we don’t need to take out so much money, do we? Eldest sister is in Shanghai! Her living conditions are much better than ours! This second sister only has one child, and she seems to be earning a lot of money lately, buying a lot of things for the family.”

“That’s all the money we have,” Hu Fang said unwillingly.

The family was poor, and so much money was a huge sum for them.

“Then my mom still has to be treated! At worst, I’ll go out to work this year!”
