Chapter 106: Take action
It wasn’t until noon that my sister-in-law came back secretly.
In fact, if possible, she would like to stay outside for a while. But the problem is that she can't stay any longer. She had just recovered from a serious illness. She was weak and lacked physical strength. She didn't have the energy to search for supplies outside, so she could only find a slightly warmer place to squat.
However, the low temperature environment required extremely high calories, and she had been hungry for many days. Soon her hands and feet became cold, and she became drowsy, as if her body was covered with ice.
Realizing that if he stayed any longer, he might freeze to death. She just gritted her teeth and sneaked back.
After returning, my sister-in-law went directly to the isolation room.
Feeling the heat coming from all directions, the sister-in-law took a breath and relaxed.
After resting for a while and her body gradually warming up, confusion appeared on the sister-in-law's face again.
She didn't know what to do next.
She was very hungry now and had to eat, but if she wanted to get food, she had to go out to search for supplies, but she didn't have the energy to go out without eating first.
There are only two solutions. One is to find others to help her, but given her current situation, probably no one is willing to help her. And the other one is to go find Hu Biao again.
But she didn't want to do this either.
I hesitated for a while, unable to make a decision. At this time, the victim on the bed suddenly coughed several times, interrupting the sister-in-law's thoughts.
She subconsciously looked at the victim, suddenly stunned, and then as if she suddenly understood something, her originally weak face suddenly glowed with brilliance.
She immediately left the isolation room and headed to Hu Biao's bedroom with her chest raised and her head raised.
At dusk, everyone came back one after another.
The sister-in-law was sitting on the sofa in the living room as if nothing was wrong. Seeing her shameless look, everyone showed a trace of contempt on their faces.
But the sister-in-law accepted it calmly. She stood up and came to Zheng Yong.
The latter looked at her with disgust and said, "What are you doing?"
"I'm here to apologize." My sister-in-law said, "I haven't said sorry for taking away Aunt Liu's spot. I'm really sorry. In fact, I didn't want to. But I really need enough points urgently. He is sick. It has not improved for so long, and it will get worse sooner or later. I can't think of any other way, so I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
The sister-in-law bowed deeply.
Zheng Yong's expression suddenly became subtle.
Then she walked up to Father Lin and the young woman and said: "I also want to apologize to you. In fact, I am not impatient or resentful. It's just... I found that I can't save everyone, and I have to make a choice in order to save enough. Medicine and food. The reason why I don’t say it is not because I am afraid that you will resent me, but because I am afraid that you will resent him.”
Father Lin and the young woman had complicated expressions.
Finally, she came to her mother-in-law and said: "Mom, I know you resent me. After all, when you were sick, you kept forcing me to throw him away, and I never agreed. But you are my mother after all, so... It’s my fault, it’s all my fault.”
The mother-in-law's expression suddenly changed.
After she finished speaking, she immediately left the living room without giving anyone a chance to question her.
In the next few days, she went in and out of Hu Biao's room calmly, exchanging food and medicine for the victims.
The atmosphere in 303 gradually changed, and everyone's hostility towards her gradually faded.
One day, she passed by Zheng Yong, and the latter greeted her.
She also secretly overheard a few people talking in private, and they all said that she was not a bad person, and there was no need to target her like this.
The mother-in-law was a little angry.
My sister-in-law secretly rejoiced.
She felt that her life suddenly got better. The fundamental reason why she originally didn't want to sleep with him was just because she was worried about her reputation being damaged, but now that she doesn't have to worry about this, the only benefits are left.
She no longer has to endure the severe cold and run around. She can stay in a warm room and rest leisurely all day long. Food was no longer in short supply, and apart from the lack of entertainment, it was like going back to before the end of the world.
My sister-in-law lay comfortably on the sofa, closed her eyes, and then... "Ahem."
The sister-in-law opened her eyes suddenly, panic showing on her face.
She touched her throat and felt a little uncomfortable, just like when she was sick before.
Intense panic spread throughout her body instantly, and her sister-in-law felt that her breathing was about to stop.
"Getting sick again? Impossible." She murmured to herself, "I've been staying in the apartment, eating and drinking enough, how could I get sick again?"
At this time, Aunt Liu came over and wanted to sit down and rest. Seeing that her sister-in-law looked wrong, she asked her what was wrong.
"I, I seem to be sick again." My sister-in-law said in panic.
Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard this, then frowned slightly and said, "Could it be because of the victim?"
"Ah?" The sister-in-law turned to look at her.
"The only people who are sick here are you and your daughter. You have been sick twice in a row. You don't look right at all." Aunt Liu said: "And the biggest difference between us is the victim. You are here to deliver medicine." We don’t have regular contact with her, so did he infect you?”
The sister-in-law's face froze for a moment, as if she was trying to avoid showing a certain expression.
"But I'm just guessing, maybe it's because you haven't recovered from your illness." Aunt Liu stood up and said, "Anyway, since you are sick, take medicine and have a good rest."
Sister-in-law: "Yeah."
After Aunt Liu left, the sister-in-law stood up and came to the isolation room silently. She looked at the dying victim who still didn't get much better after taking the medicine.
When I think about the fact that I will have to spend half of my points on him for a long time, and will be infected by him every now and then, I may not be able to save him and get the reward in the end.
There was a hint of boredom in the sister-in-law's eyes.
#########
Late night, isolation room.
Due to illness, my sister-in-law can only stay here.
She frowned and seemed to have had an uneasy sleep, and then she was woken up by a cough.
The sister-in-law sat up, looked at the victim and asked, "What's wrong?"
The victim replied with some difficulty: "I, I feel a little uncomfortable... Can you help me get some water?"
"……good."
The sister-in-law got up, went to the living room to get a glass of water, and fed him to drink it.
His sister-in-law looked at him coldly until he finished drinking the water and put the cup aside.
"Thank you," the victim said.
"Yeah." Sister-in-law.
"Well, I'm feeling better..." The victim felt something was wrong, so he said
"Yes. Call me if you need anything." After the sister-in-law finished speaking, she turned and walked to the bed.
Sit down, take off your slippers, pull the quilt, and lie down slowly.
The dark room became silent again, except for the gentle breathing of the two people.
Suddenly, the victim coughed again.
The next moment, there was only a crash, and the sister-in-law suddenly opened the quilt and rushed towards the victim in the darkness.
