Chapter 104 The reversal of polarity
The next day, my sister-in-law received a notice from Hu Biao that the matter was settled and Aunt Liu had been replaced by her. In two days, when everything is ready, they will set off to get the snowmobiles.
When my sister-in-law heard this, she looked calm on the surface, but she was already happy in her heart.
Then she went out to search for supplies.
After all, although Hu Biao will provide free food for the entire journey, the rations before departure will not be reimbursed, and the sister-in-law still needs to work hard to earn it.
As always, my sister-in-law came to the canteen, waiting to meet Zheng Yong and ask him to help search for supplies.
After a while, the sister-in-law saw Zheng Yong, who stared at her with a gloomy face and hurried over.
The sister-in-law was shocked at first, and then realized that Zheng Yong was angry because she let him go without saying a word yesterday.
So she stepped forward with a look of guilt on her face, and was about to defend herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Zheng Yong looked ferocious, suddenly raised his foot and kicked her sister-in-law in the stomach, causing her to scream in pain. , fell backward to the ground.
Then, before his sister-in-law could recover, Zheng Yong pulled her up again and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You are the one who wants to take my mother's place!?"
The sister-in-law's mind was still in confusion at this moment, and she did not recover from the panic. She said instinctively: "What quota? Did you misunderstand?"
"Misunderstanding? Aunt Liu is my mother, and the person who went to get the motorcycle is my brother! Tell me, where is the misunderstanding!?" Zheng Yong shouted.
"Ah?" The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, then her face was full of shock and fear, "How could this happen!?"
"How could it happen!" Zheng Yong violently threw his sister-in-law to the ground, pointed at her and cursed: "I thought you were a good person, and I admire good people the most, so I have been helping you and giving you a lot of things. I also told you about the private warehouse that I have been secretly hiding. In the end, you took my mother’s place and my brother’s place!”
The more he scolded, the angrier Zheng Yong became. He raised his foot and kicked his sister-in-law fiercely. While kicking, he cursed: "You bitch! I let you rob! I let you rob!"
The kick made my sister-in-law gasp for air.
However, Zheng Yong is not a violent person. After kicking a few times, he stopped and said fiercely: "Those things I gave you before are just like feeding dogs. But with this quota, as long as I am still alive, you Don’t even think about taking it away!”
"Pooh!"
Zheng Yong spat at his sister-in-law, then turned and left.
The sister-in-law lay on the ground for a while before she recovered and slowly stood up.
At first, her face was full of confusion, doubts, and fear of regret, but gradually she became determined again.
"No problem, no problem." She murmured to herself: "Hu Biao promised me to change the candidate to me. When I get enough points, everything will get better. If you make enemies, you will make enemies. Zheng Yong is the only one. Working is nothing.”
#######
Due to some injuries and the lack of Zheng Yong’s help, she had to rely on herself. My sister-in-law spent a lot of extra time and came back near dark.
As soon as they returned to the apartment, everyone who was talking and laughing in the living room stopped and turned to look at my sister-in-law silently, with particularly complicated eyes.
The sister-in-law's body stiffened, and she didn't know what this was at first. It wasn't until she saw Zheng Yong smiling coldly at her that she understood.
Apparently it was Zheng Yong who told the story.
The sister-in-law immediately complained in her heart that Zheng Yong was so small-minded and kept fussing with her even though he was a man.
But complaining is all about complaining. The situation was before her, and her sister-in-law didn't dare to say anything. She could only lower her head to avoid irritating them. I want to get through this period first, wait until I finish the motorcycle mission and get the points, and then try to turn the situation around.
At this time, Hu Biao suddenly walked out, looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Ah! You are finally back. Come here, I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Being able to leave the living room smoothly was something that my sister-in-law could not wish for, so she followed without hesitation.
The two came to a bedroom, and Hu Biao was the first to say: "I'm sorry. As expected, it still doesn't work. We still have to let Aunt Liu go."
"What?" My sister-in-law was at a loss when she heard this. "Didn't you agree to let me go?"
"There's nothing we can do." Hu Biao rubbed his forehead and said, "That kid Zheng Yong accepts death and doesn't want any other compensation but this. If I don't agree, he will make trouble."
"Don't you have a gun?" My sister-in-law said anxiously, "Force him with a gun!"
Hu Biao looked at his sister-in-law with a strange look on his face and said, "Who do you think I am? I was at fault in this matter. How could I do this? In short, that's it, Aunt Liu, go, it's none of your business."
"But!"
"If you do this again, I will force you with a gun." Hu Biao glanced at his dissatisfied sister-in-law, who immediately became quiet.
"Okay, okay, get out quickly." Seeing that his sister-in-law didn't dare to speak, Hu Biao kicked her out.
When the sister-in-law returned to the living room, although she had not looked in the mirror, she guessed that her face must be ugly, because when Zheng Yong looked at her, there was a happy smile on his face, as if a great revenge had been avenged.
The sister-in-law had no choice but to lower her head again, even deeper.
After that, everything went as usual. Hu Biao took out a few boxes of compressed biscuits and exchanged them for points.
My sister-in-law got her share, then sat alone in the corner, eating with her head down.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared above her head.
The sister-in-law looked up and her expression suddenly changed. It was Aunt Liu.
Sister-in-law: "You..."
"Don't worry, daughter." Aunt Liu said, "I'm not here to cause trouble for you."
"Look at your face." She touched her sister-in-law's face and said, "It was my eldest son who beat me, right? He really, alas, had no brains since he was a child and couldn't read, so he has been a fool all his life. He’s a factory worker.”
The sister-in-law was stiff and didn't know how to react.
"I don't blame you, my daughter. Really, I don't blame you." Aunt Liu said: "I know that you have difficulties, and you don't mean to harm me. That's right, you will learn from every experience. Don't do this stupid thing again in the future. It’s over, okay?”
Sister-in-law: "Well..."
"That's right. I know. You are a good boy, not a bad person." Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Then this matter is over. I will also tell my two sons not to embarrass them. You. Okay, I won’t interrupt your meal.”
After saying that, Aunt Liu turned and left.
Then her two sons and others came up to her, chattering.
"Mom, you are such a nice person. What do you have to say to her?"
"that is."
"Oh, Mother Liu is really kind. I wouldn't be so good-tempered."
The sister-in-law looked at Aunt Liu surrounded by everyone, and an unknown fire suddenly rose in her heart, but she also knew that if she turned against her at this time, she would be doomed.
She lowered her head with an expressionless expression and gnawed the compressed biscuits vigorously.
The next few days felt like I was back to the beginning.
Although her mother-in-law, Lin's father, and the young woman no longer need her help, the victims are still in danger. It was extremely difficult for one person to prepare two rations. My sister-in-law left early and came back late. She tried her best to collect supplies alone and was so busy that she didn't even have time to talk. So much so that it seems like the past has been forgotten.
But that was not the case. Every day, when she went out alone and met other people, people who would have said hello to her or even given her something would avoid her. When she met the once kind and friendly Zheng Yong and the others, they When she was ridiculed by sneers, when she returned exhausted and hid in the corner watching Aunt Liu and the others enjoying themselves, the sister-in-law would feel a little resentful in her heart.
She kept thinking about how to get revenge on them.
But the sister-in-law, who has become a loner, has limited abilities and can't think of a way to do it. She can only wait silently for the opportunity to come.
Two days passed like this. After dinner, my sister-in-law suddenly frowned and coughed. She touched her throat and felt a little dry and itchy.
She thought the compressed biscuits were too sticky, so she drank some water and felt better.
Then went to sleep.
The next day, my sister-in-law woke up with a severe headache.
#######
In the isolation room, the sister-in-law was lying on the bed next to the victim, which was also the place where the mother-in-law lay when she fell ill.
The sister-in-law looked in pain and blushed abnormally. She was obviously ill.
Her mother-in-law sat aside and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Mom, I, I feel so uncomfortable." My sister-in-law said weakly.
"I know." Mother-in-law said.
"Mom, help me, medicine, help me get some medicine." My sister-in-law said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely get it for you. You are my daughter after all." The mother-in-law said righteously: "How could I just watch you die? But..."
The mother-in-law changed the topic and said: "You also know that Hu Biao is sinister and vicious. He tries to stop him in every possible way. If he doesn't collect enough points, he won't be able to get the medicine. The medicine left by your sister-in-law has been used up. So it's more difficult."
The sister-in-law felt something bad in her heart, and just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door outside, and then Father Lin walked in.
"Why are you here?" asked my mother-in-law.
"I heard she was sick, so I thought it was just the right time." Lin's father said, "The group of people who went to buy motorcycles just came back today. With the snowmobiles, we can go further to collect supplies. The amount that can be moved at one time will be larger. Although borrowing a motorcycle itself requires a lot of points, Zheng Yong and the others know the locations of many large supermarkets, and you can still make a lot of money by going with them. "
He continued: "When the time comes, I will help you exchange enough medicine and food to cure your illness. How can saving your life offset your kindness for helping us in the first place?"
My sister-in-law had a complicated expression when she heard this.
She didn't like the idea of cancellation of favors, because it meant there was no longer anything between them. It will be difficult to get involved in the future.
But the feeling of being sick was so unbearable that she didn't want to endure it for even one more minute.
So she decided to say yes.
However, just when the sister-in-law opened her mouth to agree, the mother-in-law stood up.
She is majestic and high-spirited, like a majestic mountain rising from the ground, and like a majestic lion standing proudly on the grassland. Her face was resolute and heroic, like a soldier about to embark on the battlefield.
She stretched out her right hand as firmly as if she was raising a shield.
The mother-in-law opened her mouth and shouted, her voice was loud, clear and impactful, and the words she spat out were as solid as nails driven into the wall.
"no!"
"Eh?" Father Lin was stunned.
"Eh?" The sister-in-law was also stunned.
Because her mother-in-law's voice was too powerful, Lin's father looked at her blankly, and after a while he realized what was going on and said, "Why can't it work?"
The mother-in-law put her hands on her hips and her momentum continued to rise: "What does it mean to offset kindness? Who do you think my daughter is? Yes, she likes to lie a little, but she is sincere when she helps others. Do you think she is? Covet your reward?"
The sister-in-law's face froze, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say. She stretched out her hand with difficulty to pull her mother-in-law, thinking of giving her a look to give her a hint.
However, the mother-in-law suddenly waved her hand away, and then continued: "Besides, you said you can make a lot of money if you can make a lot of money? Are there no people around those large supermarkets? Aren't they occupying the territory? ? There are only a dozen snowmobiles, and there are already thirty or forty young men here. Can you grab them at your age?
Where is your wife? What do you mean by looking so closely at others? Get out of here!”
The mother-in-law's words were very sharp, but Lin's father was not angry, and his eyes were even reddened with emotion.
"Old girl, you are a good person." Father Lin said movedly: "I finally understand why she likes to help others so much. It turns out that you taught her well. Don't worry, when my wife is fine, I will definitely be free. I’m here to help. This is not for her, but for you, to save your daughter!”
"Come on, stop talking nonsense and get out of here."
Father Lin sighed and left.
My sister-in-law's eyes turned red when she saw this scene.
"Mom, how could you..." My sister-in-law paused mid-sentence. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she could only change the question, "You rejected him, what about my illness?"
But as soon as these words came out, my sister-in-law suddenly felt something was wrong and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Daughter, you don't have to worry." The mother-in-law sat down again and said softly.
The expression was also strangely familiar.
"When I recover, I will do the work of three people by myself. Save up your medicine and food rations. I will not give up on you, don't worry." said the mother-in-law.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"
"But when will you recover? I feel so uncomfortable that I can't last long..."
"I will do my best. Anyway, just wait here with peace of mind."
As the mother-in-law said, she stood up and planned to leave.
The sister-in-law looked at her back, and the weird feeling in her heart reached its peak.
She couldn't help but blurt out: "Mom, you don't want to save me, right?"
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't be stupid, we are mother and daughter, blood dissolves in water, why don't we want to save you?"
The sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
--yes. I am her daughter and she will not give up on me.
