I immediately took my decision and in a relaxed tone said deal done. According to that time, ₹60 was a huge amount. This was equal to 2 months' salary of a normal worker. As soon as I got the money, I did not go straight home. First of all I arranged ration and meat tickets from some black market dealers. In this era the value of tickets was more than cash. Then I bought the best quality milk powder and a lot of powder for the child. After this I went straight to the clothing store and got the most trending dress and skirt packed at that time. I knew that Mary Ruyan would look absolutely stunning in that dress. After all, who doesn't like to look beautiful? While returning I met an old hunter. I even traded his vintage hunting rifle for my meager rations. In this area where meat was so difficult to get, a rifle was going to be my best tool for survival. As soon as I reached home, I went straight into the kitchen and started preparing a wonderful dinner for my family. As soon as it became dark outside, Lu Ruyan returned home with the baby on her back and some corn loaves in her hand.
