I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

"nonsense!"

Mr. Liu's face darkened. "How did you treat your sister when she came to borrow points? What did you say when she asked you to do business together? You turned the opportunity away yourself, and now you're saying your brother stole your things? Wei Jun, this isn't how I teach you to be a decent person!"

"Threatening me! What nonsense!" Mr. Liu was furious. "Liu Qing is my daughter too, why would I threaten her?"

Liu Weijun was rendered speechless by his father's shouting.

Inside the room, listening to the arguing outside, Li Qiaozhen looked worried. "Weidong, is your second brother alright? Should we go out and try to persuade him?"

Liu Weidong frowned and said, "No need."

He did steal Liu Weijun's opportunity, and at this point, nothing he said will make a difference.

Actually, when he saw Liu Qing selling potatoes at the market, he struggled with his conscience for a moment.

He knew his second brother wanted to start a grain business, and had been asking around for help to find a source of supplies.

If he had no ulterior motives, he should have told his second brother about this.

However, he did have his own selfish motives. He also wanted to earn points and had the idea of ​​joining Liu Qing's group. Fearing that the opportunity would not be many, he wanted to seize the opportunity in advance. Therefore, he did not tell Liu Weijun, but instead told Liu Qing that he wanted to do business.

As his thoughts returned, Liu Weidong's expression darkened slightly.

He felt sorry for his second brother and would try to make amends in the future. But the most urgent thing was to cure his wife's illness.

The surgery fee of 40,000 points is a huge sum of money. If he doesn't try his best, he really won't be able to come up with this money.

"You son of a bitch! What kind of brother is this! Betraying your own brother, you're inhuman! You stole your brother's chance to earn points! What will happen to your brother now?"

Liu Hongmei was yelling and cursing in the living room; she refused to believe that the people inside couldn't hear her.

With red eyes, Ye Weijun stared unwillingly at the door of Liu Weidong's family's house for a long time before finally returning to his own room and slamming the door shut with a "bang".

"Dad? Is Auntie scolding you?" Liu Weidong's eldest daughter, Liu Xinrui, asked.

She's not young anymore, she's sixteen, and she fully understands the situation.

"But how can this be your fault? What right did she have to insult our family?"

Liu Xinrui retorted, "When my sister-in-law came to borrow points and grain, my second uncle and second aunt cursed her horribly. The 2500 points my sister-in-law earned from doing business a few days ago were given to her by you, Dad. It was my second uncle who refused her."

"Now that you can earn points, you want to grab it again! Why do you want to have everything? If I were your sister-in-law, I wouldn't give him this opportunity. How selfish!"

Liu Xinrui deliberately raised her voice.

The soundproofing in the containment room was not good; the people in the next room could hear everything clearly.

Liu Hongmei was furious!

Ugh! That Liu Xinrui! Her words are even more offensive than her mother's! Who's selfish? Who's selfish here? It's clearly the older brother who stole the younger brother's things, how can they call them selfish!

……

With money in hand, Jiang Li browsed the system store and saw surveillance cameras in the [Security] section.

500 points per item.

A bit expensive.

[Item Description: A surveillance camera for the new world. It connects to the internet automatically, and the camera footage is automatically synced to your computer or mobile phone. The battery needs to be replaced periodically (Note: Batteries are available for purchase in the store)].

Jiang Li bought eight batteries, four inside the wall and four outside, enough to cover the entire farm. The batteries weren't expensive either; each square battery cost 10 points and could last for half a month.

When I went outside, I saw that the camera had already been installed and was working.

At the same time, an app with a camera icon appeared on Jiang Li's phone; clicking on it revealed the surveillance footage.

Today's expenses:

[Farm camera + battery - 4080 points]

Balance: 9499 points

Tomorrow is the day to harvest sweet potatoes.

Jiang Li had already seen the notification in the group, which said that the land would be allocated according to the number of people, and each person would be allocated 70 square meters of collection land.

The farm fence and surveillance cameras are all in place, so there's no need to leave Jiang Yan behind to guard the farm anymore; we can take Jiang Yan with us.

Jiang Li checked the surveillance footage and found someone loitering at the farm gate. Upon closer inspection, she recognized Liu Qing.

Jiang Li went over and opened the farm gate. "Why are you so late?"

Liu Qing thought she wouldn't see Jiang Li. Seeing that the farm gate was locked, she assumed Jiang Li was already asleep and was about to leave.

"Miss Jiang, my older brother said he wants to take 100 jin of goods tomorrow. Do you have enough?"

Jiang Li nodded, "That's enough. We haven't finished digging up what we planted yesterday. We can still dig up more than 100 jin from the ground. You can come early tomorrow morning to dig it up."

The harvesting convoy is leaving at 5 a.m. tomorrow, so Jiang Li has to get up early to plant the crops. She has already bought the seeds, five bags of potato seeds.

Tomorrow, we'll focus all our energy on planting potatoes. Once we're done, she'll have to set off immediately to harvest them.

"By the way, are you going to pick sweet potatoes tomorrow?" Jiang Li asked Liu Qing.

Liu Qing coughed, "Go, I'll get the goods for my brother first before I go to collect them."

Jiang Li thought she looked sick.

"Have your older brother come directly. Don't worry about him finding out about my business. Let him come and dig it up himself. Anyway, we're all distributors. He can't keep hiding from me forever."

"Let me see him in person and recognize his face."

After seeing the person, Jiang Li had a better understanding of the situation.

Jiang Li's frankness surprised Liu Qing for a moment.

That's true, she can't possibly have to personally help Liu Weidong pick up goods every time the volume increases in the future.

She also believed that Liu Weidong was not a talkative person.

"Okay, I'll have my older brother come over first thing tomorrow morning."

Speaking of harvesting, Liu Qingdao heard that in such harvesting fields, if one is lucky, one person can dig up twenty or thirty catties of sweet potatoes.

This is a welfare benefit provided by the base government to farmers. The base hopes to encourage and support farmers and vigorously develop agriculture.

If we bring Wei Dahai along, the two of them should have no problem getting fifty catties of sweet potatoes. With fifty catties of sweet potatoes, we won't have to worry about food for the next month!

After chatting with Jiang Li for a bit, Liu Qing returned to the safe house.

"Wei Dahai, come dig sweet potatoes with me tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dahai was taken aback. "Why did you ask me to go dig sweet potatoes by yourself?"

Liu Qing: "One more person means seventy more acres of harvesting land. If you go, the two of us will have a total of 140 square meters of land. With such a large plot, we can dig up quite a few sweet potatoes!"

If it weren't for the fact that those under eighteen weren't considered, she would have wanted to bring Wei Zhou and Wei Xiaohan along as well.

Wei Dahai shook his head, "I'm not going."

"Why aren't you going?" Liu Qing looked at him, puzzled. "Don't you want to pick sweet potatoes?"

Wei Dahai: "That harvesting field is so far from here! I heard it's almost at the front lines! How dangerous! What if a mutated beast comes out and bites me halfway through harvesting?"

He's already doing well to get out of the safe zone, let alone go to collect crops, isn't that going to kill him?

Liu Qing never expected that Wei Dahai's reason for not going was that he was afraid of dying. She was about to speak when she felt a terrible discomfort in her lungs and her head was spinning.

"Cough cough cough—"
