Chapter 39: The Man Determining Their Economic Foundation

Su Jin and Lu Hao followed Lin Cheng and Huang Yunxiang to the temporary warehouse. It was noon break, and there was nobody in the alley. After going inside, they closed the door.

Lin Cheng turned on the lights in the warehouse, and Su Jin’s sight was immediately filled with piles and piles of supplies.

This family’s stockpiling ability was astonishing.

Lu Hao was quite surprised. He knew that they had stockpiled a lot, but he had no idea that the amount would be this huge.

Huang Yunxiang noticed their exclamations of amazement and said in delight, “It’s not just this floor, there are still some on the second floor. That boy Lin Xiuyuan used to come over every day and train himself by moving goods from the first floor to the second floor. Now, all the goods on the second floor were moved there by him.”

Really? When did Lin Xiuyuan become so diligent? There were at least hundreds of boxes on the second floor, if not thousands.

Su Jin’s impression of her brother Lin Xiuyuan was that he was a lazy, good-for-nothing kid. Had he finally changed his mind?

“Next time, let’s rent a forklift to move the goods to the second floor, or else there’ll be no more space on the first floor,” Lin Cheng said as he went up the stairs. There were too many goods, and most of them were heavy. Moving these items would be a lot of work for just the few of them.

Su Jin glanced around the warehouse, which her family had sealed. All the windows had been covered, and a thick layer of blackout curtains had been drawn across them to minimize the number of people knowing about this place, so they were the only ones here.

“Uncle Cheng, there’s no need to go to all that trouble. I can do it.” As Su Jin unleashed her special ability, a dozen vines appeared, wrapping around the boxes and sacks of goods downstairs and placing them on the second floor.

It did not take long to clear out more than half of the first floor.

Lin Cheng and Huang Yunxiang looked on with gaping mouths. Could special abilities even be used like this?

There was still a lot of space on the second floor. Su Jin treated it as a chance to practice her ability and filled up the place in one go.

“Are you okay, Lil Jin? Aren’t you tired?” Lu Hao knew that using special abilities would consume energy and what’s more, Su Jin had used hers so many times.

“It’s still tolerable. It feels like the kind of exhaustion I used to get after running 800 meters back then in school. I’ll be fine after getting some rest.” In fact, running 800 meters back then was much more tiring, and she would be on the brink of collapsing every time she finished. Now that she was using her special ability, she only felt a bit weak.

“Well, that’s good to hear.” After saying that, Lu Hao held Su Jin’s hand for fear that she would fall.

“Lil Jin, don’t blame me for meddling, but how are we going to take all this stuff away when that time comes? We can’t finish them in such a short time,” Huang Yunxiang said as she looked at the packed second floor. She was concerned about not being able to bring all these things with them. The whole family had worked so hard to collect them, and it would be a shame if they could not take them away.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Yunxiang. I’ll find a way to take them away, and I promise that I won’t leave even a single grain of rice behind,” Su Jin assured her with a smile.

“Okay, since you said so, I feel more relieved. Then I’ll continue to buy without stopping.” Huang Yunxiang knew that Su Jin was probably still hiding something from the family and that she definitely had her own reason for not disclosing it until now. Anyway, she had full trust in Su Jin.

A few days ago, Huang Yunxiang had also tried calling her family to tell them to stock up on food supplies since news about the infectious disease was spreading. At that time, it was her brother who answered the phone. When he heard Huang Yunxiang’s voice, he did not even wait for her to finish speaking before snapping, “Are you crazy?” and hung up right away.

Huang Yunxiang was so angry she could not sleep well that night. Her brother was probably still mad that she did not offer a betrothal gift when he got married. Therefore, she decided not to warn that family ever again because no matter how much she cared about them, they would never be grateful.

Thanks to Su Jin’s excellent work, more space was freed up on the first floor. The few of them looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that they could still buy some more stuff and put them here.

They returned to Grandpa and Grandma’s house. Su Jin remembered the windbreaker that she bought last time and how her family members praised its quality, so she searched up her order history on her phone and purchased an additional 1000 pieces. It was the same customer service guy from last time who received the order. He felt that this customer was really his lucky star, and he immediately called his bald boss to deliver the good news.
