I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

"No matter what, we're going to sell our farm produce for less than in the safe zone, so you can buy more produce for the same amount of money and have a better life."

Little Tree thought for a moment, "Then, sisters, what if you don't have enough money to buy a cow?"

Jiang Tang was taken aback. "Buy dairy cows?"

Little Tree nodded. "Yes, I see you have cows! Isn't milk squeezed from cows' bellies? If you can't earn enough money to buy cows, how can we buy milk?"

Jiang Tang was almost confused by him.

It took them a while to realize that the child meant that if they couldn't earn enough to cover their costs, they wouldn't be able to maintain those costs. Buying dairy cows was a cost, and raising dairy cows was also a cost.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, our farm operates on a self-production and self-sales model. Although the prices are affordable, we can still make a profit."

These children are all innocent and good kids. They have a hard time living their own lives, but they can still put themselves in others' shoes and consider the feelings of the milk seller.

Xiao Mu lowered her head and said, "We just hope the farm can keep operating and not go out of business."

Jiang Tang asked in confusion, "How could it have gone bankrupt?"

Xiao Mu: "We heard from Aunt Hong that if you don't have money to buy the mutated bamboo shoots, the farm will go bankrupt."

Everyone assumed that the money for collecting bamboo shoots came from Jiang Li's account, and that the machine was just for the convenience of collecting bamboo shoots. With so many points spent every day collecting bamboo shoots, Jiang Li's money would decrease.

"If we make so much money from the recycling lady but don't spend it here, her wallet will get emptier and emptier. If her wallet gets emptier, she won't have money to collect garbage. If she doesn't collect garbage, we can't sell garbage. If we don't sell garbage, we won't make money. If we don't make money, we'll be like before, not having enough to eat."

Jiang Tang almost got confused by him again.

But upon closer examination, these words actually make a lot of sense and are logically connected.

The logic is sound, but the problem lies in one link of the chain: the garbage recycling machine. The garbage recycling machine is not linked to Jiang Li's account; the money for collecting garbage comes from the system, and Jiang Li can even earn money from the garbage recycling machine himself.

Jiang Tang's eyes curved into a smile, and she simply went along with them, saying, "Yes, if you don't spend your money here, we won't have any money to collect the garbage."

"So you must buy your agricultural products from us, don't go to the grain depot or the base, understand?"

Xiao Shu nodded seriously, "We will, we will definitely only buy Sister's agricultural products."

It's delicious, affordable, and makes the farm money. Even if it's just to keep picking up trash, they'd definitely do it.

After leaving the farm, pulling their small carts, they hurried into the woods to begin another busy day.

Even they, despite their small stature, can earn a couple hundred points a day by digging up mutated bamboo shoots.

"They must have come from Jiang Li's farm, right?" Chen Feng led his group out of the fields to look for wild vegetables and happened to run into the group of children.

"These kids can make money by digging bamboo shoots," someone said. "Today, we'll look for wild vegetables if we can find them on the mountain, and if we can't find any, we'll pick the mutated wild vegetables and fruits as well, and then sell them to Jiang Li for money."

That way, you can always earn some points.

Everyone thought so, and some people even brought snakeskin bags.

"When it's time to go down the mountain, we never come back empty-handed. We carry as much trash as we can."

One pound of trash starts at 1.5 points. You can easily collect some larger wild vegetables and fruits to make up a bagful, which can be exchanged for dozens of points.

Some people noticed that Su Xiao's expression was unpleasant.

They were discussing getting some mutated wild vegetables and fruits to sell to Jiang Li when they went down the mountain, but they almost forgot that Su Xiao couldn't even get into Jiang Li's farm because she had broken up with Jiang Li.

"Su Xiao, why don't you go and apologize to Jiang Li? We've been earning a lot of points from her lately! If you want to earn points too, then go and beg her; she might allow you to enter her farm."

"Beg?" Su Xiao turned her head and gave the man a cold look. "You want me to beg her?"

"Su Xiao, it's not that I'm using harsh words, but everyone knows you and Jiang Li don't get along. If you don't beg, if you don't lower yourself, how else can you get her to give you a chance to earn points?"

Communication and negotiation are used between people of the same level. The word "beg" may have a slightly insulting connotation, but when someone who has nothing wants to exchange opportunities with someone who has everything, the only option is to beg.

Can you really expect the other party to give you a chance out of some kind of relationship? Besides, what kind of relationship could Su Xiao and Jiang Li possibly have?

So it wasn't that this person was deliberately mocking her; he was just telling the truth. In the apocalypse, some people would kneel down and act like dogs for a bite to eat. That's the stark reality.

Why would you expect someone to give you charity or earn points from you for no reason?

Su Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened.

How could she possibly ask Jiang Li for help?

"Besides, was I wrong about what happened last time?"

She felt wronged. "What did I do wrong? I just said a few words to her not to sell the discounted food to those toxic people, and just because I said that one sentence, she got angry with me and wouldn't let me buy food! I think she just doesn't like me!"

At this point, Su Xiao's eyes reddened, and she felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to cry.

"Isn't that going too far?" Shen Feng immediately realized that Jiang Li was no good person.

We're all from the same area, why are you targeting us?

"Regardless of past grievances, Jiang Li's actions are her problem; it shows she's petty and aggressive!"

"Shen Feng, you should figure things out before you speak," someone suggested. "The reason Jiang Li and Su Xiao don't get along is often Su Xiao's own fault."

Everyone could see that Su Xiao was jealous of Jiang Li.

As for her remarks in front of Jiang Li's stall last time, claiming it was to protect the interests of the Tian District, it sounded grand and righteous, but anyone with eyes could see that Su Xiao was just deliberately causing trouble because she didn't like Jiang Li, trying to sow discord between Jiang Li and the people of the Tian District. Some fools actually fell for her tricks.

Shen Feng didn't know the whole story, but he thought Su Xiao was a nice person, and he got along quite well with her.

"Su Xiao, if you can't get into Jiang Li's farm, give me the mutated wild vegetables you picked up when you come down the mountain later, and I'll collect them for you."
