Shen Banxia looked at the script on the light screen, which read "Apocalyptic Script World". There was an explanation that it could not be changed after a successful match.
Well, Shen Banxia thought she could match with other worlds indefinitely, but this is all she got?
He couldn't help but silently ask himself, "What kind of transactions are possible?"
The script text displayed on the screen reads: "In this post-apocalyptic world, the main resources needed are water and edible food. What can be traded for these are various medical equipment and machinery, finished medicines, and surgical equipment for rent, etc. The host is currently in a hospital. Changing the location later will allow for the addition of other traded resources."
"Is it possible to barter directly?" Shen Banxia looked at the lack of water inside. Luckily, water was free for her. Fortunately, she had asked Zhou Mingqian to find someone to dig a well.
The text then appeared again: "No, use merit points to trade, and the script will automatically convert them into merit points."
"So you're the middlemen, huh?" Shen Banxia said speechlessly.
The script on the light screen continued to appear: "Your balance is 10.5 merit points. Would you like to make a transaction?"
"yes".
Soon, pictures and prices of the finished medicines appeared. Shen Banxia took a look and found that they were basically cold medicines.
She discovered that the prices listed were the same as those in her time; for example, 10.5 merit points were equivalent to 10.5 yuan.
Shen Banxia spent 5.5 yuan to buy two boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine, and her remaining balance decreased accordingly.
Immediately afterwards, the script on the screen displayed, "Item information can be listed to earn merit points, but listing fees and item commissions will be charged."
"How much?"
"50%".
Shen Banxia cursed under her breath, "Zhou the Skinflint."
The script on the screen displayed the words, "Transparent pricing, fair and honest service."
Without a second thought, Shen Banxia replied, "A bucket of water."
I don't know how the light screen script works, but a bucket of water appeared on the page. The picture shows the kind of wooden bucket I made that holds water. Price: 50 cents (after deducting commission and listing fees).
Okay, but how am I going to explain the sudden disappearance of a bucket of water? It was the one my husband filled when he went out.
Thinking of this, Shen Banxia directly asked the script on the screen, "Can it be shared with my partner?"
"Can".
Shen Banxia didn't know why she agreed, but it was a good thing for her anyway.
Zhou Mingqian was indispensable for fetching water and collecting other supplies.
As for the betrayal, Shen Banxia still believed in Zhou Mingqian.
Of course, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and Shen Banxia has never been someone who is powerless to protect herself.
After thinking it through, Shen Banxia waited for Zhou Mingqian to return.
She had no idea that a major conflict was currently erupting in the Zhou family.
The cause was Zhao Di's desire to go to school, which directly hit Zhou's mother's sore spot.
"Why don't you just eat me? Read, read, read! Isn't your aunt home? Just ask her if you have any questions. She's so good at studying, why does she have to pay someone else to tutor her? Money doesn't grow on trees!"
Seeing her second son's family remain silent, Zhou's mother grew increasingly angry. "Second son, are you blaming me, your mother?"
"I dare not."
"Fine, you still don't dare? I think you're just too ambitious. Let me tell you, there's no way you're going to school," Zhou's mother said harshly.
Zhou Lao Er's eyes reddened. "Mother, isn't Zhao Di your own granddaughter?" Actually, what he really wanted to ask was, "Am I not your own son?"
However, he was still afraid that his words would hurt his mother's feelings because he was not good with words.
"Second son, you, you're trying to tear my heart out! What have I ever done to wrong you? You know the situation at home right now," Zhou's mother thought, wishing she could devour Chen Banxia.
Damn it, all he knows is how to take advantage.
Zhou Lao Er thought that if Zhao Di were to be chosen, the tuition fee for a year wouldn't even be as high as the price of his younger sister's clothes. Was that not acceptable?
He wasn't unaware that those with education were more qualified than others when it came to job recruitment.
He can't rely on him in this lifetime, but his daughter can.
Moreover, ever since Er Ya miscarried, he had a strange premonition that he would only have these three girls left in the future.
As for changing wives, not only would he not have that idea, but his family would also not agree.
His desire for his daughters to succeed grew stronger. After seeing how his sister-in-law earned him respect, he realized he had been wrong all along. So what if he didn't have a son? As long as his daughters were successful, that was fine too.
At worst, he could keep one of the three sisters at home and have her marry into the family.
“Mother, I work hard to earn work points, and I have no other requests. I just want Zhaodi and the others to be able to read and write, so they won’t be illiterate.” Even he himself could read, but he couldn’t continue reading later on.
Now that it's his daughter's turn, if he doesn't fight for her, does he deserve to be a father?
No one knew that when he saw the light in Zhao Di's eyes go out because her wife wouldn't let her go to school, even he, a grown man, felt a pang of pain in his heart.
This time, he was determined to get his mother's consent, so he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Well, well, second brother, I think you've really gone too far. A while ago you were making a fuss about dividing the family property, and now you even want to send the little girl to school. What? Do you think our family is rolling in money?"
The father, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up, "Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? Second son, don't blame your mother. We've been spending too much money lately, and it's really a bit too much to bear. Since you really want Zhaodi to go to school, then I, as her grandfather, won't be so heartless as to not let my granddaughter go to school. In the future, each of you in your respective branches can send her to school if you have the means."
Zhou's mother complained, "Old man, if all the girls go to school, who will do the housework?" Although Zhao Di and the others are young, they can still do the washing and scrubbing.
If it weren't for the fact that I'm really worried about letting my child cook, a child as young as Zhaodi could actually do the cooking.
"Alright, with so many women in the house, can't we handle this? Let's leave it at that for now."
Zhou Lao Er wanted to say something more, but his father had already spoken, so what could he say?
But where can he go to earn money for school? He can only earn work points, nothing else.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dad, could you help me pay for it in the first year?"
Before Zhou's father could speak, Zhou's mother refused outright.
Zhou Lao Er was at a loss for what to do. After returning to their own room, he looked at Zhao Di with a guilty expression and said, "Zhao Di, it's my fault for being useless and preventing you from studying."
Zhao Di heard everything that happened in the main room clearly. Thinking of what she had heard in her previous life, an idea instantly formed in her mind.
But at this point, nothing had been tested yet, and she didn't know if it would work.
No one noticed that Zhou Mingjiao, who should have been resting at home, quietly left.
