I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 307 Door-To-Door Collection of ‘Sanitation Fees'

307 Door-To-Door Collection of ‘Sanitation Fees’
Seeing that Du Yue was in a good mood, He Xing was happy as well. “Little money-grubber, are you that happy?”
Du Yue was just about to answer when she saw a few more people coming to the door. Du Yue did not think much of it when she saw who it was. She smiled and said, “All the ingredients for today have been sold out. Come back tomorrow if you’d like to eat!”
The leader of the group laughed when he heard this. “It seems that your business is quite good. That’s good. Pay the sanitation fee!”
The smile on Du Yue’s face disappeared in an instant after she heard the man’s words. The third base had a rule that the shop owners had to pay taxes, which was one percent of their total income. In other words, if Du Yue’s restaurant earned 2,400 contribution points a month, they would have to pay a tax of 24 contribution points.
Compared to the second base, this rule was more humane. However, Du Yue had never expected that there would be a sanitation fee! She and He Xing were the ones who cleaned up the shop from the day it was rented. Besides, the base had never mentioned that there was a sanitation fee for opening a shop.
Du Yue’s face darkened as she looked at the men in front of her who had unfriendly expressions. In the post-apocalyptic world, it was rare to see someone with a well-proportioned body, let alone a few fat people like these. Just by looking at the figures of the men in front of her, she knew that they must be living very comfortable lives.
“I see.” Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “Are you the base’s officials?”
“You talk too much nonsense. What does it have to do with you? The nearby streets are under our control, and every shop has to pay for the sanitation fees! If you want to continue your business in the future, you’d better hurry up and pay up!”
After the man finished speaking, he looked Du Yue up and down, his gaze turning meaningful. “Or if you’re willing to play with us, we can waive your sanitation fees.”
Upon hearing this, Du Yue did not get angry. Instead, she laughed. “What a coincidence. I don’t like anything but playing… ”
“Really? Then we’ll let you have a good time today…” The man’s eyes were filled with disgusting desire. As he spoke, he tried to grab Du Yue’s arm.
The man’s hand had just reached midair when an iron rod that fell from the sky slammed on his wrist. The sudden pain caused the man to scream, and he fell directly to the ground. Du Yue stepped on the man’s back, her voice full of joy. “I usually like this way of playing. You don’t mind, do you?”
The man was facing the ground, lying on his stomach in a very humiliating position. he struggled to get up, but he could not move. “A bunch of trash! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and attack! Today, I’ll teach these two dogs who don’t know the rules a lesson!” At the man’s command, the rest of the men rushed toward Du Yue and He Xing at the same time.
The iron rod in He Xing’s hand seemed to have a mind of its own. No matter who rushed over, the iron rod would hit the person accurately. He Xing alone was more than enough to deal with these people. Du Yue exerted force on her leg and continued to press down on the man’s back. “Tell me, who are you guys working for?”
“We …” Before he could finish, the man was stunned. Why did this woman not play by the rules? Why did she say the lines that should have been theirs?
Du Yue had no patience to begin with, so she exerted more force on her foot. “Stop wasting time! Who are you guys working for? Do you have any other accomplices?”
“Hey, hey, hey… Gentle, gentle… There are only a few of us. We have no accomplices and no boss.” The man secretly regretted it. He finally understood that these two people must have been sent by the officials to investigate. He could not let them know Young Master Wang’s name no matter what!
If he insisted on not admitting that he was working for Young Master Wang, he would, at most, get a beating. However, if they were to reveal Young Master Wang’s name, they would not be able to live past tomorrow. Seeing the man’s evasive gaze, it was obvious that he was not telling the truth. Du Yue was not angry. “This is my first day of business, and you’re here to cause trouble. Medical fees, lost time, mental damage, oh, and sanitation fees. Each of you has to pay 500 contribution points. Otherwise, I don’t mind having fun with you guys…”
