Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 284 - Chapter 284 Chapter 283 Let Go of That Girl (10)

Chapter 284: Chapter 283: Let Go of That Girl (10) Chapter 284: Chapter 283: Let Go of That Girl (10) Su Shu looked at the bag of food beside the bed, which really didn’t seem like much to her eyes, but she knew the elderly couple must have scrimped and saved for a while to spare that much.

Asking about medicine wasn’t difficult, but from what she overheard when she accompanied Tang Zelin to the military hospital the other day, it seemed like the medicine stock in City C had indeed been greatly reduced recently.

“Grandma Fu, I can ask, I just don’t know if there will be any.,” she replied truthfully.

“If there isn’t any, it’s fate. If there is, at least it gives us something to hold onto.” Fu Shiyin smiled faintly, glancing at her husband who was calmly teaching the children calligraphy on the other side, her eyes filled with tender affection built from mutual support.

“Who knows how long these days will last. At our age, living today and dying tomorrow is uncertain; we’ve always been prepared for it in our hearts, but even though we are prepared, people shouldn’t give up so easily, right?” She gently patted Su Shu’s hand, “If we can live another day, I want to spend it well. Spouse, spouse, that’s what it’s all about.”

“You and Mr. Ge really have a good relationship.”

Fu Shiyin raised an eyebrow and smiled, “That’s because you haven’t seen what we’ve been through in this lifetime. Let me tell you, even the best of spouses, after decades together, will have had a few moments when they were mad enough to strangle each other. When we were young, we fought and made a fuss, but as we aged, we didn’t have the energy to fight anymore. You stick with me, and I with you; in the end, it’s all about companionship. If suddenly one day, something happens to one of us… ah…” She suddenly dared not think or speak further.

Su Shu was momentarily moved, stretched her hand to grasp the old lady’s arm, and reassured her with a smile, “How could that be? You and Mr. Ge are healthy, and once we get through these tough times, perhaps better days are ahead.”

Fu Shiyin smiled, “I wish it could be as you say.”

“It will be.”

Hardship will eventually pass.

With so many people working together, the darkness will slowly fade away to welcome the dawn.

Seeing the effort the Ge elders put into caring for Xiao’ai, Su Shu felt compelled to help. Moreover, the elderly couple had managed to save food before they approached her about the medication, which meant they weren’t just trying to take advantage, but probably really didn’t know who else to ask.

Having enough food to attempt to buy medicine before asking for help, Su Shu felt deeply moved.

She recalled the time she lived in the safety zone, before she had married Tang Zelin. Back then, merely rumors had brought a flock of people to her door “borrowing” things. Yet the Luo Family and the Ge Family always supported her without asking for much in return.

“Grandma Fu, about that medicine, let me take a look at it. When he returns, I will ask about it,” she said.

“Oh! Wait a minute, I’ll go get it.”

Seeing Su Shu agree, Fu Shiyin was both excited and overjoyed, frantically searching through the medicine bag, but perhaps due to her excitement, she had trouble finding it.

Mr. Ge, who was at the desk, sighed helplessly and with compassion, looked around, and pulled out a medicine box from beneath a book, handing it to Su Shu, “Xiaosu, here, this one, thank you for your trouble.”

Su Shu stood up, walked over to receive it, and replied with a smile, “It’s no trouble at all.”

“Look at me, I forgot where I put it.” Fu Shiyin came over, “This is the medicine. It wasn’t expensive before the disaster, but now it might not be cheap. I’m not asking for much, just enough for an emergency would do.”

Su Shu looked down at Mr. Ge’s medicine box, considered it for a moment, “This is an empty medicine box, can I take it?”
