Chapter 60 Black Market



"Sister-in-law, you can't just focus on saving money in your current situation. Don't you worry about the children?"

Liao Xuemei was of course worried, but when she thought about going to the county hospital, she knew that if anyone in the village had a headache or fever, as long as it was not too serious, no one would go to the county hospital and waste the money.

"Forget it, I don't really feel that uncomfortable. Pregnancy is a bit uncomfortable, it's normal."

Liao Xuemei was reluctant to spend this wasted money

"Just go if I tell you to. Even if our family is poor, we can still afford to go to the hospital. Do you think I'm such a stingy old woman?" He Guixiang was scolded outside.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just think it's unnecessary and wasteful."

"What's the point of wasting it? The baby in your belly is the most important thing. You've finally waited for it. If anything goes wrong, you'll regret it to death!"

He Guixiang took out twenty yuan and handed it to Liao Xuemei. "Take this money and go to the county hospital for a checkup. And buy something to eat. Now is not the time to save."

He Guixiang not only took out the money, but also took out a few tickets, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Thank you, Mom! Thank you, little sister!"

Liao Xuemei was extremely touched. She also knew that her mother-in-law did this because she must have heard something from her sister-in-law, otherwise she would not be so willing to do so. In any case, she appreciated this kindness.

"Sister-in-law, we are a family, why are you talking about this? It's getting late, we have to hurry up."

Li Miaomiao went to the county hospital with her brother and sister-in-law, and naturally brought Pei Yifan with her.

"Xiao Fan, are you happy?"

Although Pei Yifan didn't show it on his face, Li Miaomiao could still see that her son was in a good mood.

After arriving at the county town, Li Miaomiao took Liao Xuemei directly to the gynecology department for a check-up, and met the nurse who applied medicine for her last time.

"Miaomiao, you're here?"

"My sister-in-law is pregnant and not feeling well, so I thought of taking her to the hospital for a check-up."

"So that's how it is. Doctor Liu from the gynecology department is the best at this. I'll take you there."

"That's great, Nurse Lin. Sorry to bother you again."

"It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite."

With the help of the nurse, Li Miaomiao easily took Liao Xuemei to Dr. Liu.

Liao Xuemei didn't expect that her sister-in-law had such ability. She even knew the nurses in the county hospital. This saved her a lot of trouble.

"Your condition isn't too serious. You're just anemic and malnourished. You don't need to take medication. All medicine is toxic. Get more nutrition and don't overwork yourself. Especially in the first three months, don't do any heavy work."

Li Miaomiao wrote down the doctor's instructions and asked some related questions, which was more detailed than Liao Xuemei herself.

The doctor wrote a prescription, and Li Miaomiao didn't let Liao Xuemei pay for it. She took the prescription and bought some nutritional supplements.

These usually require a ticket and can only be purchased with a doctor's prescription, but they also have a certain weight and amount.

Li Miaomiao thought that she would have to go back to her mother's house to buy some nutritional supplements, otherwise there would only be a few of them and they would be gone in ten days or half a month.

Her parents in her natal family were good to her, and her sisters-in-law were also nice, especially her eldest sister-in-law Liao Xuemei, who always treated her very well.

"Miaomiao, my mother gave me the money, how can I ask you to pay for it?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite with me. Keep the money Mom gave you to buy something you want to eat or use. Now that we are in the county town, if you don't feel tired, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some things to take back."

"I'm not tired. We rode in a bullock cart all the way."

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Miaomiao directly bought several bags of milk candy and fruit candy, as well as some pastries. She didn't buy anything else, mainly because she didn't have a ticket.

Pei Yifan looked at his mother's "generous spending", and fortunately she only bought candies and cakes, so he didn't say anything.

Mom is thin now, she needs to eat more.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Miaomiao went to buy some meat bones, pig feet and pig heads. The main reason was that she didn't have any meat coupons, so she couldn't buy meat even if she wanted to, so she could only buy these with money.

But Li Miaomiao is not picky. Whether it is pig's head or pig's feet, they all taste delicious after braising, and the meat bones are used to make soup.

On the way back, Li Miaomiao took a ox cart for a while and got off at the fork in the road.

"Miaomiao, let's take you back first. You're tired from walking back."

Li Miaomiao originally thought so, but the dog system issued another task, and looking at the sky, it was indeed a little late.

"No need, sister-in-law. It's just a short distance. You can walk back. Look at the weather. You've been out for so long. Let brother take you back quickly to rest."

As Li Miaomiao said this, she gave them a small portion of the things she bought and asked them to take them back.

Liao Xuemei was really touched by Li Miaomiao today. Her sister-in-law has become sensible and considerate now, and she is generous to her. This is a huge subsidy for her.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. For being considerate to my brother and sister-in-law, I will reward you with one thousand survival points."

Li Miaomiao watched Liao Xuemei and her companions' ox cart go away, while she had to walk back on her own two feet. Even though she received a reward, she couldn't be happy.

If Liao Xuemei didn't look a little tired, she wouldn't have earned the system's reward.

"Xiao Fan, are you tired?"

Li Miaomiao looked at her son with some guilt, and she became more determined to buy him a bicycle. If she had a bicycle, she would have been riding on the country road with her son in style instead of having to walk so hard on her own two legs.

"Mom, I'm not tired. Let me help you carry your things."

Although Pei Yifan thinks this distance is nothing, he is a good boy who cares about his mother.

"No, Mommy can do it herself."

Li Miaomiao still had some dignity to save. How could she let Pei Yifan, a child, come here? She carried her things with great difficulty and walked for more than 40 minutes before reaching the village. She saw someone riding a bicycle easily at the entrance of the village.

"Ding, a random task is being issued. The host must purchase a bicycle on his own. Completing the task will reward 2,000 survival points."

Li Miaomiao sat slumped, speechless at the task the system had issued. She'd wanted to buy a bicycle, but getting one required a bicycle ticket, which wasn't easy. She'd said that on impulse, not actually intending to undertake such a cumbersome undertaking.

Since the system has issued the task, Li Miaomiao thought that maybe she could go to the black market and get a bicycle ticket.

It is true that going to the black market is somewhat dangerous, but it’s just a one-time trip, so it shouldn’t be such a bad omen.

Thinking of this, on the day of rest, Li Miaomiao put on her backpack and took a bullock cart to the county town. In the backpack was a set of clothes for disguise.

After figuring out the approximate location of the black market, Li Miaomiao hid in an empty alley and dressed up before coming out.
