The next morning, Yao Shuang arrived before Xu Ying had even woken up. She was in high spirits. “I came too early. I’m sorry. Go back to sleep. I’ll wait for you in the living room.”

Xu Ying yawned and waved her hand. “It’s okay. I’ll give you this information. It’s the information of the tenants who are coming today. When they come later, I’ll bring you around to familiarize you with the process. You’ll be the next batch of tenants.”

Yao Shuang was both excited and fearful. She took the documents and started reading.

The nine tenants arrived one after another. Xu Ying and Yao Shuang began to register the tenants, then they learned about the rental convention and other things to take note of. Finally, they toured and introduced the entire Peach Blossom Land.

Yao Shuang took notes seriously along the way and asked the tenants questions from time to time. She was no longer as weak as she usually was. This made Xu Ying even more satisfied. However, Xu Ying suddenly noticed that a male tenant had been looking at her with a puzzled gaze since she entered the door. According to the information, the male tenant was called Hua Haiyi. He was in his forties or fifties, wore glasses, carried a briefcase, and had a decent job.

“Mr. Hua, is there a problem?” Xu Ying asked directly.

“Is your father Xu Yongzhong?” Hua Haiyi asked hesitantly. “If not, I’m really sorry. You really look like the daughter of a friend of mine.”

“I’m an orphan.” Xu Ying’s smile froze.

“I’m sorry,” Hua Haiyi quickly apologized. “That’s right. If you were Xu Yongzhong’s youngest daughter, why would he worry so much about his eldest son not having a place to live after he got married? However, other than Miss Xu’s temperament, her appearance was too similar…”

This episode was quickly forgotten by everyone. After paying the first month’s rent, they happily tidied up their new houses.

Xu Ying received 70,000 gold coins in rent, and her financial situation quickly recovered. However, she felt a little disgusted. Why did she invite Xu Yongzhong’s friend? Why hadn’t she seen him before?

“Boss Xu? Check how I did, please” Yao Shuang’s voice snapped Xu Ying back to reality.

Xu Ying took a look at the registration form that she had made. She wrote down in detail the time of each tenant’s stay, the time to pay the rent the next month, the performance of the tenants when they moved in, and the requests they made. It was very detailed.

Xu Ying was really surprised. It was more detailed than she had expected. “You’re very meticulous and very powerful. You can totally rely on yourself to raise the child. You don’t have to rely on others.”

Yao Shuang’s eyes reddened. “Boss Xu, you’re right. I should have met you earlier. That way, I wouldn’t have been so dependent on my brother. I wouldn’t have become a burden to him. He wouldn’t have sacrificed himself to support us. And my husband, in order to feed me and my child, went to do cross-base transportation of supplies to earn more money. He was attacked by zombies on the way, and there weren’t even his ashes left…” As she spoke, she covered her face and cried.

It was rare that Xu Ying didn’t mind her crying, and her heart ached. She patted Yao Shuang’s shoulder. “Don’t blame yourself. You’ll have to live a good life in Peach Blossom Land. As long as Peach Blossom Land is here, you and your children will be able to live a peaceful life. Go back and pack up tonight and move in tomorrow.”

Yao Shuang cried even harder as she thanked Xu Ying again and again.

Xu Ying had just calmed down a little when Wei Qiyan brought her a piece of bad news.

“Zombies might have snuck into Vermilion Bird Base recently. It’s just a possibility, but you have to be careful.”

Xu Ying’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. “Someone got infected, so he might have sneaked into the base and turned into a zombie?” For now, Xu Ying could not think that zombies could take on human forms.

Wei Qiyan shook his head. “It’s a mutated zombie, disguised as a four-year-old child. If you see it, you can’t panic, and you can’t show fear. This zombie had intelligence. If you were afraid, it would think that you despised it and it would kill you without mercy.”

Xu Ying was instantly terrified. The apocalypse had been twenty years, and zombies had mutated ever since. It was still terrifying no matter how many times she heard about this kind of things. She didn’t have any superpowers, so she couldn’t even fight against ordinary men, let alone powerful mutated zombies.

“I’ll be very busy for a while and probably won’t be able to come back, but I’ll leave someone to watch over Peach Blossom Land in secret. If there’s a situation, I’ll rush over as soon as possible.” Wei Qiyan instructed.

Hearing this, Xu Ying’s sense of security greatly increased. It was still better to have a big shot behind her. Her life would be more secure. “Then take good care of yourself and try not to get hurt.”

Wei Qiyan nodded.
