The Peasant Wife Has a Space

The woman’s eyes suddenly widened, then she looked at Zhao Xiulan, and said with a trembling voice, “Girl… isn’t this a… meat bun?”

These days, it is rare to eat a white bun, let alone a meat bun. Needless to say, the price of meat is really expensive, and even if you have money, it is difficult to buy meat to eat.

The woman didn’t remember how long it had been since she had eaten meat. When the meat bun was put into her mouth, she only felt a burst of delicious aroma, and she wanted to swallow this delicious food with her tongue into her stomach.

But Zhao Xiulan gave her such an expensive thing for free. The woman didn’t know how to express her gratitude to Zhao Xiulan for a while.

She really met a good person today. How could an ordinary person care about her, a dying middle-aged woman, and give her something to eat?

Zhao Xiulan nodded, then made a silent gesture, and said to the woman, “Hmm, it’s a meat bun, so Auntie, you should eat it quickly.”

The smell of meat buns is relatively strong, so if people who come and go smell it, they will be in trouble. After all, this is a black market, so there are a lot of people who pass by. The woman knew what Zhao Xiulan meant, so she quickly ate all the meat bun into her stomach.

The originally empty stomach felt a sense of fullness because of eating a big meat bun, her whole body came back to life, and she didn’t feel the dizziness as before.

The woman gratefully took Zhao Xiulan’s hand, “Girl, thank you so much for today, you saved my life! If it weren’t for you, I would have probably starved to death.”

Seeing the woman like this, Zhao Xiulan felt a bit pitiful, and couldn’t help but feel more sympathy.

These days, there are many people who starve to death without food. This year and next year, the whole country will be in a state of foodstuff shortage. It’s possible that many people will starve to death.

Zhao Xiulan has limited power alone and can only help people within her own ability.

She happened to meet this woman today and rescued her easily. Zhao Xiulan couldn’t just leave her alone. Even in the apocalypse, she couldn’t persuade herself to give up rescuing her companions under such dangerous circumstances.

Zhao Xiulan smiled and replied to the woman, “Auntie, don’t be too polite, you don’t have to worry about it. These days, who doesn’t have any difficulty?

I helped you today, and when I need help in the future, there will definitely be kind-hearted people who will help me.”

The woman nodded, “There are many good people in this world. Girl, you are so kind, so you will definitely be rewarded in the future.”

Zhao Xiulan smiled slightly, ready to support the woman, “Auntie, shall I take you back?”

Zhao Xiulan was really worried about the woman’s weak appearance, so she offered to take her home.

Facing Zhao Xiulan’s kindness, the woman thanked her first, then sighed and said, “Aye, Girl, I won’t hide it from you. I can’t go back for the time being.

There is no foodstuff at home and my husband is as hungry as I am.

If I can’t get some foodstuffs to take home, I’m afraid we both won’t be able to survive for a day or two. Without your meat bun today, I’m afraid I would have starved to death.

So, there is no way to go back already, I can only take a chance on the black market and see if I can trade with some foodstuffs to take home.”

After listening to the woman’s words, Zhao Xiulan couldn’t help being moved.

How many people face such helplessness these days?

“Auntie, do you want to buy foodstuffs? It just so happens that I have some here, why don’t I sell them to you, so you don’t have to ask the others again.” Zhao Xiulan’s space is full of foodstuffs, so she’ll just take out a little bit casually. Seeing the woman’s pitiful appearance, Zhao Xiulan thought that since she had already helped her, then she would help until the end.
