The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Doesn’t Shen Lu Want Him Anymore?

Cai Su bit her lip hard, telling herself not to dwell on such useless things and to just focus on the work at hand.

With Cai Su’s help, Shen Lu’s haul grew even more bountiful.

Shen Lu had Cai Su focus on finding small, high-value metals, while she herself would take the opportunity to stash away steel plates and the like when Cai Su wasn’t looking.

Before ten o’clock, Shen Lu finished her junk-collecting for the day.

Cai Su handed everything she had found to Shen Lu, who deposited it directly into the System Warehouse right in front of her.

Cai Su wasn’t the least bit surprised to see the items vanish into thin air.

After all, Shen Lu was once a young lady from a wealthy family in the Upper City District. It was perfectly reasonable for her to possess one or two Advanced spatial items, even after being cast out.

As for what Shen Lu planned to do with all those things, it didn’t take a genius to figure out she was going to trade them for food ingredients.

’Otherwise, what would she be selling every day?’

She didn’t ask, and Shen Lu offered no explanation. The two maintained a tacit silence, a perfect, unspoken understanding.

On the way back, Shen Lu said to Cai Su, "I’ll go with you two in a bit. It’s a good chance to take Fu Cheng for a check-up."

Cai Su naturally had no objections. After setting her child down, she helped Shen Lu move Fu Cheng onto the flatbed cart, then placed Xiao Lang next to him. Together, they pushed the cart to the clinic.

Fu Cheng recognized Cai Su, as well as the child lying beside him; he had seen them yesterday.

’But where are Shen Lu and these others taking me at this hour?’

His consciousness scanned their surroundings. This wasn’t the way to Gold Street.

Fu Cheng’s heart suddenly sank. ’Is Shen Lu abandoning me?’

In the Lower City District, aside from the relatively smooth Gold Street, all the other streets were riddled with potholes.

It took a great deal of effort for Shen Lu and Cai Su to push the cart all the way to the clinic.

The clinic’s door was small, so the cart couldn’t fit through. Shen Lu told Cai Su to take Xiao Lang inside for his shot first, while she sat on the cart to catch her breath.

Fu Cheng saw the clinic’s sign, and his heart, which had plummeted, instantly soared.

’Did I misunderstand Shen Lu?’

’She was actually taking me to see a doctor.’

’That’s right. Last night, she did mumble something about taking me to a doctor for a check-up.’

’So that’s what this is about.’

Fu Cheng’s anxious heart finally settled down.

At the same time, he chided himself for having such a misunderstanding about Shen Lu.

’That was completely uncalled for.’

He shouldn’t have habitually assumed the worst of her, not when she had been so, so good to him.

A few minutes later, the female doctor walked out with a cold expression, followed by Cai Su.

"Doctor, could I trouble you to take a look?" Cai Su asked respectfully.

"It’s no trouble, so long as you pay." A stethoscope hung around the female doctor’s neck, and her hands were stuffed in her pockets. She didn’t rush to bend down and check Fu Cheng’s condition. Instead, she addressed Shen Lu. "You were here yesterday, so you should know that I require payment upfront for a consultation."

Shen Lu nodded and handed over the 100-Star-Coin consultation fee.

Only after taking the money did the doctor begin the examination.

She couldn’t be bothered to move him inside, so she just started examining him right there on the street.

The process was similar to yesterday’s. The doctor used her stethoscope to listen here and there, occasionally pressing down with her hands.
