Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 752: What is this (II)?

On the other side,

"Are you sure that this pill can help me get pregnant, Miss Bai?" Nanny An asked with her trembling fingers, clutching the pill that Bai Meiyue had given her. The round, luminous pill had a subtle pinkish hue to it.

Bai Meiyue glanced at the emotional woman and reached out to take the pill from her. She said, "If you do not believe me, then you can give me the pill back, Nanny An. I am not asking you to test it—"

But before Bai Meiyue could take the pill from the woman, Nanny An took it back and said hurriedly, "Who said that I am not going to take it? I was just ...asking. I mean, it’s really unbelievable to think that I can finally have a child; it was always my dream to become a mother."

Nanny An didn’t know how to tell Bai Meiyue what this pill meant for her. All these years, she had been listening to her mother-in-law taunting her about how she had bewitched her son and wouldn’t let him take a concubine while failing to live up to the expectations. Nanny An, of course, hadn’t done such a thing. She had asked Albert to bring a mistress countless times, but the man had refused. Quoting that she married him when he had nothing and was just a poor scholar. How could he betray her years of silent loyalty by bringing another concubine?

Nanny An was touched by the words that her husband said to her, but at the same time, she was disappointed in herself. How could she not, when even after seeing all kinds of doctors and physicians, she couldn’t get pregnant?

Because of continuous disappointments, she and her husband had almost given up on the idea of ever becoming parents. Even when her husband continuously told her that he was alright without a child and didn’t blame her, Nanny An blamed herself. However, just because she was feeling guilty doesn’t mean that the heavens were going to listen to her. She was ignored even though she had begged the heavens again and again.

Now that she had finally received some good news, how could Nanny An not be emotional?

Bai Meiyue understood her feelings, so she didn’t say anything and let the woman take a moment to collect herself. Once Nanny An had calmed down a little, Bai Meiyue parted her red lips and said to her, "If you are willing, then we can talk about this barter once you have conceived?"

To her surprise, Nanny An shook her head and said to her in a soft voice, "There is no need, Miss Bai. My mother has taught me to trust my doctor. She told me that if I had asked someone to treat me, then I needed to trust them, and if I didn’t trust them, I shouldn’t ask them to treat me."

She raised her hand and gulped down the pill before saying to Bai Meiyue, "I will confirm the barter exchange."

A second later, she pulled out a badge that had ’little chef’ written on it. When Bai Meiyue saw the badge, she frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"This is something that my husband created when he was still a student," explained Nanny An with a smile. She knew what Bai Meiyue was thinking and said to her, "I know that this badge looks like it is nothing special, but that is not the case. As long as you pin this badge, I assure you that there is not a single dish that you cannot make."

Bai Meiyue was about to say that she didn’t need it, but then she thought about how little she knew about cooking and how it was always Lei Qian who was cooking for her, and she couldn’t do anything to repay him. After a short pause, she sighed and took the badge. Anyway, she didn’t take on this case because she wanted something from Nanny An. She simply wanted to help a woman in need.

"Then I will thank you," said Nanny An, her eyes brightening when she saw Bai Meiyue accepting the barter. She got to her feet and bowed in front of Bai Meiyue and praised her, "You are really kind, Miss Bai."

Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything. She simply got to her feet and remarked in a hard voice, "I am not kind... I simply pity you." Just as she pitied her past self. She couldn’t save herself and her child in the past, so she chose to save Nanny An instead.

Once she was done with the barter exchange, Bai Meiyue turned and stepped out of the bartering space. However, as soon as she stepped out of the barter space, she found herself staring at a small vine that was knocking on the window of her floor. With just one glance, she knew that this was Wan Guofu. She walked over to the window and tapped on it to show that she was fine. She didn’t want Lei Qian to worry about her, especially when she didn’t know what kind of condition he was in at the moment.

She waved her hand at the vine before walking back to the couch, where Shen Zhen and Meng Suisui had prepared a bed for her. Bai Meiyue then took out the fresh sea bass that she had packed in her space bag and turned to look at Meng Suisui, who was standing at the door with her mouth hanging open.

"There is no need to be shocked. I have another ability—space ability." Bai Meiyue explained and then handed the fish to Meng Suisui before saying to her, "Go and prepare this sea bass."

Meng Suisyi took the sea bass from her and, with her mouth still agape, went to look for Shen Zhen. She was not good at cooking, as Meng Suisui was more proficient in working and could only make some simple dishes; she had no idea how to prepare a sea bass. So—

"What is this?"
