Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Chapter 73

"Sister, are there any zombies in this room of yours?"

Feng Xiaoshi had her head lowered and was about to move a stool when a childish voice suddenly rang out.

Although there were four living people, it didn't seem like there were any zombies, but she still asked.

Feng Xiaoshi was caught off guard for a moment, then shook her head.

"I see, then we won't bother you, bye~"

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and waved her hand.

Seeing that the four of them were about to leave, Wang Rongmei's expression changed.

"Wait a minute!"

She pulled Feng Xiaoshi in front of the group and put on a fawning smile.

"Little brothers, this is my daughter. She's quite pretty. When she was studying, many people pursued her.

I know you all are capable people. I'll give you my daughter. Take us to that Rong City Base, okay?"

"My sister is a real beauty," Feng Xiaoshi's brother Feng Zicong said proudly.

Feng Xiaoshi kept her head lowered, her hands clenched into fists, her whole body trembling.

Hearing the words of the mother and son, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others were a bit taken aback.

Had they encountered a real-life case of a mother selling her daughter?

"Ma'am, she's your daughter, not a cat or dog. How can you just sell her like that? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Nie Yizhou couldn't stand such behavior.

Wang Rongmei glanced at Feng Xiaoshi with a pout.

"What use is a daughter? A daughter is just there to be raised for someone else's family. Eventually, she has to be sent away.

We fed her and paid for her education. Every single thing cost money.

Now it's her turn to repay us.

And you all look like capable people. By giving her to you, I'm actually finding her a good patron. She should thank me. Why should I feel bad?"

Wang Rongmei spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without a hint of embarrassment.

Perhaps Wang Rongmei's words had thoroughly provoked Feng Xiaoshi. As soon as Wang Rongmei finished speaking, Feng Xiaoshi raised her head, her bloodshot eyes gazing at her mother with anger and deep disappointment.

"You ungrateful girl, what are you looking at me like that for? I didn't say anything wrong!"

"Yes, I was born to you, and you raised me. But did you ever show me care and love?"

There was a tinge of sorrow in Feng Xiaoshi's voice.

"From childhood until now, you only doted on Feng Zicong, giving him all the good things, while I was just your maid and money-making machine!

And the tuition and living expenses for university? I earned all that money myself. You didn't give me a single cent.

I've already paid you back in cash for the cost of raising me, plus double!

I don't owe you anything!

Before the apocalypse, I saw the prophecies online and stockpiled a lot of food and water at home.

But you, you just showed up uninvited, saying you were renovating at home and needed to stay at my place for a few days.

When you saw the supplies I'd stockpiled, you scolded me for causing unnecessary trouble and believing baseless rumors. You berated me mercilessly.

But what happened after that?

You monopolized my food, eating and drinking to your heart's content, with no restraint!

The supplies could have lasted at least a year, but you two depleted them in just a couple of months!

And now, you actually want to sell me? Am I even your daughter anymore?!"

Feng Xiaoshi nearly shouted the last sentence.

Tears streamed down her cheeks involuntarily.

It was clear that her heart was deeply wounded at that moment.

Wang Rongmei hadn't expected her usually obedient daughter to shout at her in front of so many people.

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised her hand to strike Feng Xiaoshi in anger.

"You ungrateful girl, you've grown some backbone, haven't you?!

I'm your mother, you came out of my womb. Your life is mine, and I can treat you however I want!"

She struck Feng Xiaoshi again and again.

Feng Xiaoshi kept her head lowered and endured the beating without a word.

"That's right, sis. The way you talked to mom was really wrong," Feng Zicong chimed in with a pout.

However, Feng Xiaoshi's father Feng Guohua cleared his throat in dissatisfaction and looked at Feng Xiaoshi and Wang Rongmei.

"Enough, people are waiting. Let's not make a scene."

Reminded of her purpose, Wang Rongmei suddenly remembered.

"You ungrateful girl, you're going with them today, whether you like it or not..."

As she was about to roughly grab Feng Xiaoshi's arm, Feng Xiaoshi was pulled back two steps by a small hand.

Yun Xiaoxiao stood in front of Feng Xiaoshi, smiled at Wang Rongmei, and pointed at Feng Zicong behind her.

"I like this brother. Let this brother come with us, and we'll take you to the Rongsheng Base."

Wang Rongmei frowned at the five-year-old Yun Xiaoxiao.

"What do you want with Zicong?"

Yun Xiaoxiao gave a sweet smile, her soft little mouth curving upward.

"I like whipping people. It's so much fun! This brother looks like he'd be great to whip, so he can come with us as my mobile whipping target.

But don't worry, I won't let him starve. I'll give him one meal a day.

However, he can't eat too much or he'll get fat, and that wouldn't be as smooth for whipping.

Oh, and my little scorpion likes drinking blood. His blood looks like it would taste really good."

With each sentence Yun Xiaoxiao said, Feng Zicong conjured up a more horrific image in his mind.

He immediately clung to Wang Rongmei's arm.

"Mom, I don't want to go with them. They're freaks! Let my sister go instead!"

"Yes, yes, my daughter is more suitable. Let her go instead."

Wang Rongmei was also terrified by Yun Xiaoxiao's words.

She hadn't expected this little girl to have such terrifying hobbies.

More importantly, the three boys behind her were looking at her with such indulgence, as if they would let her do anything she wanted, no matter how outrageous.

"Well, that's a pity. I only want this brother." Yun Xiaoxiao pretended to be disappointed and left.

Nie Yizhou hurried to follow her, trying to stifle his laughter.

"Hey, why are you leaving?"

Watching their disappearing figures, Wang Rongmei was furious.

"It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing. Even when we offer you to others, they don't want you!"

She raised her hand in anger, ready to strike.

Just as her hand was about to come down, Feng Xiaoshi grabbed her wrist.

"Try hitting me one more time!"

Feng Xiaoshi glared at Wang Rongmei, her eyes bloodshot.

Ever since Wang Rongmei had protected Feng Zicong and tried to push her out at all costs, the last bit of hope in Feng Xiaoshi's heart had been shattered.

This so-called parental love? Forget it!

From now on, she would never hold back again!

"You ungrateful girl, what's with that look? You dare defy me? Just you wait, I'll beat you to death!" Wang Rongmei was about to explode in rage when Feng Xiaoshi grabbed a nearby fire hose.

"Come any closer, and don't blame me for not being polite!"

Wang Rongmei was so frightened by Feng Xiaoshi's fierce appearance that she didn't dare move, afraid the fire hose might hit her.

Feng Xiaoshi, carrying the fire hose, walked past Wang Rongmei and entered the room.

She packed two sets of clothes and divided the remaining supplies into two equal portions.

By the time she walked out of the room carrying half of the supplies, Wang Rongmei and the others still hadn't recovered from their shock.

When they finally came to their senses, Feng Xiaoshi was already gone.
