Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Feng Qingxue, upon hearing this, expressed her concern, "This is what we know, but I fear there are things we do not know. Are all the hospitals and pharmacies truly out of antibiotics and Bezoar Pills? Has the situation really become so dire?"

Cui Shaoyuan spoke in a low voice, "Some may indeed have run out, while others most definitely cannot be completely out."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, upon hearing this statement, furrowed their brows deeply, their faces looking extremely distressed, and in unison said, "Saving lives is as urgent as fighting a fire. In these circumstances, can there actually be people hoarding supplies?"

"Sigh," Cui Shaoyuan let out a wry smile, "You see us, holding not insignificant positions? Walking in the streets, everyone respects us, and even our elderly leaders listen to what we say. But let me tell you, in the Capital, there’s no shortage of anything except high-ranking officials. Drop a brick and you’re likely to hit one! Not everyone is so selflessly devoted to the public good. If our children fall ill, it’s natural for them to use the medicine. When the supply runs short, they’ll simply tell us that there’s none left."

Dysentery, meningitis, smallpox, and other epidemics were not completely eradicated and every year a great number of people died from these diseases.

"What about the pharmacies? If antibiotics are said to be gone, what about Bezoar Pills? Do the pharmacies have no stock at all?" Feng Qingxue asked. Could it be that every industry has been paralyzed to this extent? Medicine is for saving lives after all!
