Become a burden in a period novel

Qin Wangshu exchanged some eggs and two hens next to the clinic.

Just as she was about to leave, a middle-aged woman suddenly approached her and asked, "Little girl, do you have any eggs at home?"

Qin Wangshu was stunned. "Auntie, are you talking to me?"

"Yes, little girl, I see you are here to give eggs to your relatives, so I want to ask if you have any eggs at home. My daughter is going to give birth in a few days, so I want to prepare some eggs for her." The aunt looked at Qin Wangshu with eager eyes.

"Aunt, our family has been saving these eggs for a long time. As you know, we are not allowed to raise so many chickens now." Qin Wangshu didn't quite trust the person in front of him.

"Then can you help me ask other families and get some for me?" Her daughter is about to give birth soon, so as a grandmother, she naturally has to prepare eggs.

She had some eggs at home and had also exchanged some with others, but it was still not enough. Just now she saw this little girl carrying a basket full of eggs, but unfortunately she came a little late and all the eggs had been exchanged.

She was not too anxious at first. After all, she could buy some from the black market. Although it might be more expensive, her family had jobs and they were not short of money.

It’s just that the situation suddenly became tense a while ago, and both the black market in the county and their commune were shut down.

I heard that a new official said that the black market undermined the planned economy, so he sent people to arrest people every day. How could the black market continue to operate?

If the black market doesn't open, it will be hard for them. The supplies are not only scarce but also often out of stock. Her family hasn't eaten meat for a month.

Now her daughter is about to give birth, and she hasn't prepared all the eggs yet! She has no choice but to stay at the hospital. When she saw Qin Wangshu selling eggs, she immediately came over to ask.

"Aunt, you are making things difficult for me. I can't do such speculative things." Qin Wangshu refused.

"Well, I just want you to help me find out where you are allowed to speculate and profiteer again." The aunt said quickly.

"Just go and ask for me. My home is in the alley next to the store, the one with a peach tree in the yard. If you can find the right one for me, just come over. I'll be very grateful to you!"

Hearing her sincerity, Qin Wangshu knew that the person in front of him was not the kind of person who was trying to sting the law. "Well, then I'll go back and ask for you, but I can't guarantee how much it will be."

"As much as you can get, my daughter will give birth in a few days, and then she will be in confinement. During this period, as long as you can ask, you can send it to me. However, there are usually only people at home in the afternoon, so you can just knock on the door when you come."

"Okay, then I'll go back and ask for you." Qin Wangshu wanted to leave after she said that, but the aunt stopped her again.

"Not only eggs, if you have hens, you can also send them to me. By the way, my last name is Meng, and my husband is the third child in the family. When you come to see me, just say you are looking for Aunt Meng." Aunt Meng was desperate and was trying every possible means to help her.

Her daughter married well. Her husband's family lives in the county town and has found a job for her. Now that her daughter is pregnant, they, as her family, naturally have to give her more things to save face.

However, she did not place all her hopes on the little girl in front of her. Holding her was just casting a wider net.

After Qin Wangshu agreed, he prepared to leave. After Qin Wangshu left, Aunt Meng prepared to go to other places to have a look, and she also asked her relatives in the countryside to help her keep an eye out.

She wanted to send a hundred eggs to her daughter, but now she only had more than fifty, so she was still short of a lot!

If she had come earlier and bought Qin Wangshu's basket of eggs, it would have been almost enough. Unfortunately, the man who bought Qin Wangshu's eggs was obviously not short of money, so even if she asked, he would not give them up.

Qin Wangshu agreed to this Aunt Meng, but she was not prepared to deliver the goods to her in a short time. She was still a little worried about such business that came to her doorstep, so she planned to inquire about it first.

Qin Wangshu didn't plan to stay here any longer because she had already attracted other people's attention. However, before leaving, she went into the clinic to buy some common medicines.

This was a habit she had developed in the past, but at that time it was usually her mother who prepared medicine for her.

She remembered that every time she was going to school, her mother would take her to the pharmacy to buy medicine and then tell her one by one how to take the medicine.

Now that she has come to this place alone and there is no one to help her prepare these things, she can only prepare them by herself.

Entering the clinic, she found the doctor who had treated her last time. At that time, Qin Wangshu looked malnourished, so the doctor gave her a certificate, and she used the certificate to buy some nutritional supplements.

Although she didn't buy the medicine she wanted, the clinic was short of medicine at that time, so the doctor told her that he would keep an eye out for her and give it to her next time she came. She paid a hen for this!

"Now that you're here, it seems like you've been living a good life recently." The doctor naturally remembered her. She was a female doctor in her forties and looked very gentle.

"Well, the aunt I'm staying with is a very nice person. She always gives me money." Qin Wangshu was not reluctant to tell others how good Aunt Luo was to her.

"That's good. You were really too thin before, huh? Have you grown taller?" The doctor hadn't seen Qin Wangshu for a long time, so he naturally noticed her changes.

"Yes, he has grown a little taller."

"It seems that your nutrition has improved. I'll give you another certificate this time. The health center currently supplies brown sugar and milk powder. I guess you won't be able to get the milk powder, but brown sugar is still okay." The doctor said considerately.

"Thank you, Doctor Xu!" Qin Wangshu was very grateful, "Do you have the medicine I want?"

"Yes, I have prepared some for you, but it's not much. It's enough for you to use. I can't get more."

In fact, it had been prepared long ago and had been kept in the drawer of her office, but Qin Wangshu never came. She only knew that Qin Wangshu was in the lower team, and she didn't know the specific address, so she didn't send it to her.

"That's great! By the way, Dr. Xu, I won't give you any money. As usual, I will send you back home later." Qin Wangshu said.

It’s the same old story, it’s the hen and the egg. Last time, she used the hen to knock on Dr. Xu’s door and then established a good relationship with her.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Doctor Xu opened the drawer and handed the packaged medicine to Qin Wangshu, "Be careful to keep it away from moisture. I have written the specific instructions on paper. You can read it when you need it."

"Doctor Xu is so thoughtful. I won't disturb you from working here." Qin Wangshu took the medicine and left Doctor Xu's office.
