Transmigrated into the vicious female supporting role in the apocalyptic novel

Chapter 18: Fainted from hunger?

The woman knew that her husband had brought back a man and a woman from outside this time. In fact, the woman didn't want her husband to go out and bring strangers back. After all, there was a child at home. What if he met a bad person?
Moreover, in today's society, even one's own relatives will turn against one's relatives for a little material things, so how can strangers do the same?
But looking at the few supplies, she finally agreed to her husband's suggestion, so every time someone came over, the woman would take the child back to the master bedroom and wait until those people left before going out.

This time, she was not paying attention and her daughter accidentally opened the door. Although the people outside did not do anything to them, the woman was still very uneasy.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Xiaobao touched his belly and pulled the woman's hand. Children don't eat much, but they need to eat several meals a day.

The woman touched her head and went to serve her rice porridge. There were still ten days before the next distribution of supplies, and there was not much rice left, let alone meat and vegetables.

So these days we have been making porridge at home every day. Xiaobao didn’t want to drink it after drinking half a bowl, and pointed at the lollipop and asked if he could eat it?
"Eat it." The woman peeled the candy and handed it to her daughter. Looking at her daughter's bright eyes, the woman felt heartbroken.

When did even eating candy become a luxury for her daughter? She knew she shouldn't complain. They were protected so well from being attacked by the infected outside, thanks to the city's leaders.

They still have a house to live in, and they have access to water and electricity. They are already much happier than those who can only flee, so she can't complain too much.

But the supplies were really too few, even if they wanted to exchange them for other things, it would be useless!
After dinner, Xu Yuan helped wash the pots and bowls. Then the man came back from outside, but he didn't look very well.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Yuan asked curiously. It seemed that she had a feeling that she was not feeling well since she saw the man.

"It's okay. Have you finished your meal? Have a good rest." The man forced a smile, smelled the smell of food in the house, swallowed his saliva, and went back to the master bedroom.

This made Xu Yuan look puzzled, and she looked at Qin Huan in confusion.

"He's hungry. He may not have eaten for several days." Qin Huan frowned. He could tell at a glance that it was because in his previous life, in order to prevent Xu Yuan from going hungry, he basically didn't eat anything and gave her all the food he could find.

Who knew that in the end he would raise such an ungrateful person. His dark eyes fell on Xu Yuan, but now he acts like nothing happened.

"How do you know? Have you ever been hungry?" Xu Yuan asked in confusion. The male protagonist has a space! Or the most powerful one, the one with an orchard!

When she first came, she was starving to death, but the other party was still full of energy, which showed that he was not hungry at all!

Not wanting to pay attention to her, Qin Huan went over and knocked on the door, ready to give the man half of the agreed supplies first.

Who knew that just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, it opened by itself, revealing a panicked woman inside.

"My husband suddenly fainted! Please save him!" The woman didn't care about anything else and begged the person in front of her.

Fainted? Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan followed over and saw the man lying on the bed, unconscious.

After entering the room, Qin Huan checked and confirmed that the man had fainted from hunger.

"Did he faint from hunger? I have some glucose here, give him a bottle!" Xu Yuan took out a bag of glucose and gave it to the woman. In the corner, Xiao Bao was terrified by the scene. She hid there and watched every move nervously. She didn't understand what happened to her father.

"Little girl, is the candy delicious?" Xu Yuan squatted down and asked the little girl with a smile, attracting her attention to himself.

"Thank you, sister, for the candy. It's delicious." When Xiaobao saw that it was a wish, he thought of the candy she put in the rabbit's ears.

It was really delicious. She seemed like she hadn’t eaten anything so delicious in a long time.

"You're so good. Sister has more here. Can I give you another one?" Xu Yuan rubbed her little face and said softly.

"Can I give it to dad? He hasn't eaten for a long time." Xiaobao said worriedly.

Although she is still young, she knows a lot of things, such as her mother often sighing while looking at the food, and her father deliberately leaving when they are eating.

"Then sister will give you three, one for you and one for mom and dad, okay?" Xu Yuan didn't expect that such a young child would be so sensible.

Didn't they say that the people in the city could be self-sufficient without exchanging supplies? This is what they call self-sufficiency!
After taking the glucose, the man slowly woke up. The woman didn't care that there were two strangers around and threw herself into his arms and started crying.

What kind of day is this? If this continues, she would rather the city fall. Then even if she escapes, she might still be able to survive!
There is no need to be trapped in the city and suffer like now!

"I'm sorry to trouble you." The man said a little embarrassedly. He originally thought that he was strong and healthy, and it would not be a big deal to be hungry for a few days.

But I didn't expect that I would faint, and even scared my wife and kids. It was really embarrassing.

"How much supplies can your family of three get in a month?" Xu Yuan asked with some confusion. How much could there be to make people starve like this?
"Twenty kilograms of rice, and some seasonings. Vegetables are given according to the season, so you can't get much." The woman lowered her eyes and said, clutching the corner of her clothes.

Actually, it is totally fine for a family of three to eat 20 kilograms of rice and save some, but...

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, our family wouldn't be in this situation!" The man was in great pain. It was all because of him that the family was unable to make ends meet.

It turned out that every month when supplies were distributed, the man’s parents would come and make a fuss, demanding that he give them ten kilograms of rice, otherwise he would be considered unfilial!

"It's the end of the world, who cares whether you are filial or not? Besides, don't they have any supplies? Why would they come to rob yours?" Xu Yuan said without curiosity, what kind of family is this!
"There's nothing we can do. If we don't give them the food, they will come and make trouble every day, or refuse to leave. They ask you to cook for them, and they won't let us eat it after it's cooked. They will eat it and take the leftovers back home." The woman covered her face. She didn't know why her parents-in-law were like this, as if her husband was not their son.

There weren't many supplies to begin with, and after the commotion, there were even fewer left. No wonder the man fainted from hunger.

"It's all because of you. If they want to come over and make a fuss, just let them do it outside. They will naturally leave when they are tired. How about just not opening the door?" Xu Yuan said angrily.
