Chapter 98 'I'll do my best'

My mother-in-law was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and she looked very bad. Her face was sallow, her eyes were dark and hollow, and her cheeks were a little swollen. Her breathing was particularly weak and her body was still hot.

Next to her was another bed with the victim lying on it.

Yes, after she fell ill with a fever, Hu Biao was worried that she would infect other people, so he transferred her here.

My sister-in-law was sitting nearby, holding my mother-in-law's hand.

"My daughter, I feel so bad." The mother-in-law said weakly, "I feel like I'm dying."

"Don't talk nonsense." The sister-in-law said with determination: "I will definitely save you. Just wait, I will go to Hu Biao to ask for medicine!"

After saying that, she immediately stood up, went to Room 303, found Hu Biao, and told him her request.

"You want antipyretic medicine? Sure." Hu Biao said casually, "Just pay with your points. The price is clearly marked on the board for how many points you get for the medicine."

The sister-in-law glanced at the board and pursed her lips.

Probably because things are valuable because they are rare, medicine is the most expensive item among all commodities.

In addition, they have been working overtime and have no extra points. How can they pay them out at once?

"I don't have enough points now." The sister-in-law said, "Just owe it to me first, I will pay it back later."

"That won't work." Hu Biao said immediately.

"why?"

"You owed a lot of points last time to resettle the victim, and you haven't paid it back yet. Now you come to borrow again. What if you can't pay it back?" Hu Biao said, "Won't it become a bad debt? If it's just you, it's fine. The problem is that once a precedent is set, others will also owe debts and not pay them back. What should I do? If there are too many people who owe money and the income is not enough to make ends meet, and this small group can't operate anymore, what should I do? I have a lot of good supplies, but there are also a lot of people here, and we can't afford this kind of trouble."

Hu Biao's well-reasoned speech blocked his sister-in-law's subsequent words.

The sister-in-law opened her mouth several times to speak, but she didn't know what to say. Finally, she managed to say, "I will definitely pay it back."

"So, what's the basis for you to say that?" Hu Biao said, "If you don't give me a reason, if it's convincing, then I can lend it to you."

The sister-in-law was silent for a moment. She couldn't think of any excuse. She could only stare at Hu Biao angrily and said, "I actually believed that you would really save people. I was wrong!"

Hu Biao: "??? What are you farting about?"

The sister-in-law just left angrily and returned to the isolation room.

"What, what's the matter?" asked the mother-in-law nervously.

The sister-in-law shook her head and said, "That Hu Biao is sinister and vicious. He tried every means to stop me. He said that if I didn't get enough points, he wouldn't give me the medicine."

"Ah?" The mother-in-law looked desperate. "Without medicine, how can I recover from this illness? I am old, I can't just hold on, right?"

The sister-in-law was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. Then several people walked in. It was none other than Lin's father and young wife.

"Why are you here?" the sister-in-law asked, "Are you here to ask for food?"

"No, no, your mother is already so sick. How can we have the nerve to come and ask for food?" Father Lin waved his hand and said, "It's like this, we also heard your conversation with Hu Biao. The points for the medicine are too high, you can't get them together in a short time, and your mother can't delay. So the two of us asked for help everywhere, and finally found a few people who are willing to work overtime with us to earn more points and get you a bottle of medicine."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her sister-in-law suddenly stand up and said seriously, "No!"

"Ah?" Lin's father and his wife were stunned. But the sister-in-law continued, "You can't do this."

"What's going on?"

"What else?" The sister-in-law glared at the two of them and said, "Is your aunt's illness cured? Is your child recovered? You two can't even take care of yourselves, so you have to come to me for help. Now you want to help me, how can you help? If working overtime is useful, then why did you come to me in the first place? In the end, aren't you still thinking about saving money and saving your own share?
And those few people you found, are they doing well? Everyone is in such a difficult situation, who has spare energy? Do you think I will be happy if you sacrifice yourselves to help me? "

"But if you don't help, what will your mother do?"

"I will find a way to solve this problem myself. You should take care of yourselves first." The sister-in-law said seriously: "My mother is important, but you are also important. Auntie and your children are also important. No one should sacrifice themselves for anyone else. If anything happens to you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

The sister-in-law's words moved the two of them to tears.

They hugged their sister-in-law, expressing their gratitude and saying things like, "My dear, you are so kind." "How can there be someone as kind as you?"

At the same time, the mother-in-law's face on the bed became more and more ugly.

After sending the two away, the mother-in-law looked at her sister-in-law and said, "It's fine if you don't let them collect points, but you said you have a solution, is that true?"

"I will find a way to loot more supplies. There are so many stores in the city, there must be one or two hidden warehouses that have not been discovered. As long as we find one, we will have no shortage of points." said the sister-in-law.

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"

"But when can we find it? I feel so bad, I can't hold on for much longer..."

"I'll do my best. Anyway, just wait at home."

The sister-in-law said this and stood up to leave.

The mother-in-law looked at her back and suddenly felt that the conversation just now sounded familiar. Then she suddenly remembered that when Lin Xiao was driven out by Hu Biao, her sister-in-law seemed to have said the same thing, that she would pull Lin Xiao in when she found an opportunity. However, to this day, she has not made any attempts.

——Could it be…

But the next moment, the mother-in-law shook her head again, thinking that she was her own daughter and it was impossible for her to harm her.

#####
After a few days, I have to say that my sister-in-law’s helpful behavior did pay off.

When they were out exploring, everyone was willing to help out a little, even pointing out where the sister-in-law could find more supplies.

With their help, the sister-in-law's income gradually increased, but it was barely enough to maintain the basic life of the three of them. It was impossible for her to have extra points to exchange for medicine.

My mother-in-law's condition became worse and worse, and she lost a lot of weight.

In panic, she secretly suggested to her sister-in-law that they throw the victim out. Without this burden, they would naturally be able to collect enough points.

However, the sister-in-law's face immediately turned black. She first scolded her mother-in-law harshly, then pulled a group of people over, told her the matter in person, and swore that she would never give up the victim and asked everyone to bear witness for her.

The victim was so grateful that he prostrated himself, but the mother-in-law was so ashamed and angry that she almost fainted.

After that, my mother-in-law became extremely silent and didn't say a word all day long.
