Chapter 37: Blaming Each Other

"Since you're here now, I won't mistreat you. I won't let you do anything dangerous. I won't stop you from leaving after three months, but you have to listen to me while you're protecting me."

Zhong Jia realized that this employer was not easy to deal with. As expected, Major General Wei's people were not easy to bully.

Xu Ying led Zhong Jia to double room No. 5. The room that had been rebuilt on fire had not been arranged for anyone to stay in. Now, it was just right for Zhong Jia to stay temporarily.

Zhong Jia looked at the well-equipped house. It was much better than the team's dormitory. There was even a private bathroom and a small balcony facing south! This was giving her a sugar-coated bomb. The value of her existence was not for personal enjoyment but for the cause of mankind! Although the sugar coating was very fragrant, it could not tempt her.

"I'll only take you with me when I leave Peach Blossom Land," Xu Ying said. "You're free to arrange the rest of the time. You can go outside and fight with zombies. It's up to you."

Xu Ying could tell that Zhong Jia was a woman who couldn't stay idle.

Free time? Zhong Jia was happy again.

Xu Ying said, "You can eat at the small cafeteria. The laundry is done at the back door. Daily necessities can be bought at the grocery store at the entrance. My assistant will tell you the rest of the details when she comes. You should familiarize yourself first."

Zhong Jia had heard that Peach Blossom Land was comfortable and convenient. She looked around and found that it was too convenient. No wonder people outside wanted to live here.

Xu Ying called Yao Shuang over and went back to her room to soak in the hot spring. After lunch, she began to check the tenant's information. This was because the group of tenants that included Xiong Da and Xiong Er's leases had already expired, and the rent for the extension had also been paid. She now had 300,000 gold coins in savings and was going to buy a jeep tomorrow or the day after.

Since she was planning to leave Peach Blossom Land to trigger the hidden mission, she had to be prepared. A car was an escape tool that could not be avoided.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ying slowly packed up and called Zhong Jia to walk over.

"Didn't you say four o'clock?" Zhong Jia wondered. "We are only leaving now, and also walking? The other party had been waiting for us like so long."

Xu Ying said, "Please wait for me, please." She wanted the Xu family to wait. Even if she wanted them to be angry, they could not do anything about it. Moreover, they had suffered all these years. What was the point of waiting for her?

Xu family.

Xu Changkai looked at the time impatiently. "Dad, is Xu Ying still coming? It was already half past four. Did she do it on purpose?"

Wei Jiaxi rolled his eyes. "I don't know what you guys are thinking. Do you think Xu Ying can be the owner of the house in Peach Blossom Land just because you heard a rumor? Even I find it laughable. Even if she really can make the decision, it would be strange if she was willing to help you after how you treated her. But Xu Ying was not saintly." Wei Jiaxi remembered Xu Ying's two slaps before she left and knew that Xu Ying's heart was dark.

Xu Changkai did not speak. He asked himself if he treated Xu Ying badly. He had not even robbed her of her things. There was also one time when he took advantage of her winter shower and boiled the cold water, causing her to be sick for a month and almost die in bed…However, he never felt that he was at fault. She was just too delicate.

When Xu Yongzhong heard this, it was as if his sore spot had been stepped on. "What did I do to her? Did I hit her, scold her, or abuse her?"

Wei Jiaxi didn't expect such a big reaction from his stepfather. He immediately shut his mouth, but he still thought unwillingly in his heart. He had never cared about Xu Ying's life or death. If it weren't for his silence, she and Xu Changkai wouldn't have dared to bully Xu Ying so blatantly. Now, he was trying to be a good person. Hypocrite.

Shi Qinfeng quickly tried to smooth things over. "Don't lower yourself to the child's level. She's straightforward."

"Child?" Xu Yongzhong's face darkened. "A 30-year-old child! If you cared more about Xu Ying, she wouldn't have made such a fuss with our family!"

Shi Qinfeng couldn't say a word after being scolded. Was this her fault?

Wei Jiaxi was unwilling. "Dad, you make it sound like my mom asked Xu Ying to leave home. Who was the one who agreed to let Xu Ying join the army? Now, it's my mother's fault for being biased…"

Xu Yongzhong was furious.

Before he could finish, the doorbell rang.

Everyone quieted down.

Xu Changren, who had been watching from the sidelines, said, "I'll open the door. You guys calm down."

When Xu Ying entered the room, Zhong Jia, who was wearing a military uniform, followed closely behind her. She stood beside her with a cold face. She didn't even make a move, and it made people feel that she wasn't someone to be trifled with.

This stance made the Xu family speechless on the spot. Their dissatisfaction and resentment for being late were all beaten up and dissipated.

Xu Ying sat down. "There's no need to reminisce. Tell me, what's the matter? Don't look for me in the future. Of course, I won't come either."
