Chapter 246: Quan Family’s Heirloom



After Long Yu left, Grandpa Quan looked at his wife and asked, "Wife, is the family heirloom still with you?"

Grandma Quan was taken aback when she heard her husband asking about the family

heirloom. Holding her husband's thin hand, she asked, "Are you really going to trade it for water?"

Seeing Grandpa Quan nod, her eyes reddened as she said, "That's your family heirloom from thousands of years ago. How can you trade it for water?"

Grandpa Quan gently patted her hand and sighed, "Wife, we have no more food or water, and we can't let Yuanwei keep going out every day without eating or drinking. We have lived long enough, so it's fine for us to die."

He paused for a second before asking hoarsely, "But what about Yuanwei? He hasn't even found a girlfriend yet. He is too young to die."

Seeing her hesitation, Grandpa Quan added, "Wife, it's only an object, and it can't even be eaten. But water and food can save our grandson's life. I'm willing to exchange it for his survival."

Grandma Quan sighed sadly and finally said, "Alright. I will bring the ring to the 20th floor later."

Grandpa Quan nodded, patted her hand once more, then looked out from the corridor window. He sighed again, murmuring, "When will these disasters end?"

No one knew when the disaster would end, so Grandma Quan didn't answer his question. Instead, she said, "Old man, let's go home."

When Long Yu passed the 19th floor again, he didn't see Grandpa and Grandma Quan, so he continued downstairs.

Yao Ran nodded, "Go then."

After Deng Qiqi closed her bedroom door, Yao Ran put the water containers into her space. Then, she went to the living room of unit 1901 and placed all the containers in a corner. After piling the bottles, buckets, and barrels there, she closed the door and left.

Returning home, she entered her space to check on the farmland and animals. She noticed the animals had matured and a new batch had been born, so she began processing them.

Since the last upgrade, time has flowed five times faster in her farmland than in the outside world, while it has flowed three times faster in the grassland and fish pond.

Thanks to this, Yao Ran could harvest most of the crops at least twice every month. She could also harvest the animals every two months, and she only harvested the fish when the fish pond was full.

After completing her work, Yao Ran took a bath and then left her space.

Seeing that Long Yu didn't visit her, she went to find him. Not finding him at his place, she took a few insulated lunch boxes from her space.

She filled the boxes with smashed cucumber salad, mango milk pudding, chicken lettuce wraps, mapo tofu, and Sichuan cold noodles. After placing the lunch boxes in a Styrofoam box, she closed it tightly.

Before heading back, Yao Ran wrote a note for Long Yu, letting him know about the food, and left the box beside his bedroom door.

When she got home, she sat on the bamboo cot and took out the jade ring from the bedside table. She looked at it for a long time before throwing it into her space. After that, Yao Ran lay on her bamboo cot and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

In the evening, Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang returned. Hearing the noises outside, Yao Ran stepped out and almost fainted from the smell.

Seeing Deng Qiqi and Long Yu also there, she looked at Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang and asked, "Where have you guys been? Why do you smell like this?"

Jia Xiang sighed at Yao Ran's question and answered tiredly, "It is a long story."
