"Okay, hurry up and ask your husband to take the food back. You will definitely not be short of food when you get to my place."
Li Ming looked at the pretty woman who looked up at him, smiled and let go of her hand, then pointed to her husband's position and said, after that, he went to the side to select honest men to serve as coolies in the villa.
Xu Xiu watched Li Ming continue to choose, pursed her lips, stood there for a moment, looked up for her husband, and found him in the crowd after a while. The two looked at each other, and she looked a little confused. Unnaturally, she stretched out the food in her hand towards him.
Zhou Cheng quickly walked up, took the eye-catching food from his wife's hand, and asked anxiously: "Isn't it for you to keep it for yourself? Why do you stretch it out?"
"He said there would be no shortage of food there, and it would make me very full. He asked me to keep the food for you, so that others would not think he meant what he said."
Hearing her husband's somewhat reproachful tone, Xu Xiu pursed her lips, suddenly lost all the entanglements just now, and spoke calmly as if she had figured it out.
"Um... Well, thank you for your hard work. I will keep these for now. The two superpowers in the gathering place will not condone people snatching them. I should be able to keep them and wait for you to come back tonight."
Hearing his wife's calm voice, Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment. Her tone was a little biased towards the man just now, but he suppressed these thoughts, tightened the food in his hands, and spoke.
Xu Xiu didn't speak anymore, just nodded. Zhou Cheng glanced at his wife, opened his arms and hugged her. Xu Xiu didn't react at all. After the hug, Zhou Cheng turned around and left.
When Zhou Cheng left, Xu Xiucai pinched his fingers slightly and watched him leave. It wasn't until he reached the crowd that he looked back at the man who hired her.
The last time she and her husband spoke, the other party had already chosen someone.
"It's just you five. Let someone you trust come and receive the settlement allowance."
Women may have to consider aesthetics, but men have more choices. Li Ming quickly selected a few that seemed to be in good shape, but were definitely weak, and directly gave them settlement allowance, which was just a few meals.
In this case, the more hungry and weak the person is, the more he can bear the responsibility. Otherwise, if he betrays more wives, he will not be so hungry. Such people are relatively trustworthy.
Maybe this method of judgment is biased, but Li Ming still made a quick choice based on this.
"Those who are selected will follow me. Those who are not selected, don't worry. If I have a chance to find you in the future, just wait for the food."
After doing this, Li Ming asked the five men to go in front, and the five women followed behind. He smiled and said something to the people in the gathering place who were always staring at them, and then strode away with them.
As he left, the crowd became noisy for a while, talking about this new person and thing. In this last month of nearly a month, this was the only hope they saw for continued survival.
Zhou Cheng kept looking closely at his wife. He saw with his own eyes that his wife was standing closest to Li Ming. He knew that this was the position where he took the initiative to push her.
And now my wife always stands in this position.
He kept looking at his wife's nervous figure, and kept watching him follow the man to the door of the restaurant. The man stretched out his arm to support her waist, and Xu Xiu turned back sharply. The two met their eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng suddenly felt a strong sense of regret in his heart.
He didn't want his wife to work with this man, but in the end this idea was just beating wildly in his heart without any actual implementation.
He finally watched the last trace of his wife's back disappear from sight.
"Huh~"
Zhou Cheng exhaled with his heart beating, and with some time left to chatter, he returned to his bed and sat down on it.
Touching the food inside the plastic bag, he couldn't help but take out a piece of bread and ate it absentmindedly.
The bread given by Li Ming was very generous. Zhou Cheng hadn't eaten for a long time and after finishing one he felt exhausted. He drank two more sips of water and his whole body seemed to gain strength. He froze on the bed, his heart burning with anxiety. Waited.
"I don't know when my wife will come back."

When he walked out of the gathering place, the wide space suddenly turned into a narrow place with only a staircase and a wall. Several men and women stared at him at the door without blinking.
Li Ming smiled at them, then asked the five men in front to go downstairs, and took the five women behind him downstairs.
Xu Xiu looked back several times, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety. Her exquisite body seemed a little hurried when moving, but she still followed Li Ming step by step under the pressure of hunger.
Li Ming could feel Xu Xiu's reluctance, but he just looked after the five women and five men, including her, and walked towards the bottom of the building.
He knew the other party had made the right choice.
There is a saying that he admires such a couple, but this does not mean that he will be the one who is taken advantage of in the eyes of others. He will give them food and drink for nothing, and he will keep them from a distance just for this admiration. them.
First of all, they are not familiar with each other at all, and they are not relatives or friends. Why do you treat them like this?
Secondly, there are two for one thing. He has done this once, and it has left a soft-hearted image in the eyes of others. Even if he is not, then it is inevitable that some people will think that he is, and take advantage of his soft-heartedness. Maybe they will give him some time. It's a disgusting drama.
Even if it can't hurt him, it's not worth wasting his time and energy.
And now he gives them food, gives this woman a job, and takes care of her three meals a day, which is already considered good. Although it is a treatment that everyone has, he can not choose them at all.
Of course, it is impossible to say that he has no thoughts about this woman now.
Li Ming has been feeling very swollen with nowhere to vent his anger recently. When he is just about to make a move, when he meets a delicate, charming and protective woman, how can he not have any desire in his heart?
Moreover, he also saw what Xu Xiu's husband meant. He took the initiative to push her over and introduced her deliberately. Didn't the implication mean that he hoped that he could accept Xu Xiu?
Maybe it's due to the crisis of the environment, maybe it's because I really love her, maybe it's something else...
But he has already pushed her to himself, hasn’t he?
Of course he didn't mind, but Xu Xiu seemed a little uneasy in her heart. Li Ming knew how this matter would develop in the end, and it would depend on how they got along next.
Looking at the wife in front of him, Li Ming smiled.
