Chapter 033 Taking Advantage
The nurse just glanced at Su Wan, didn't ask any questions, and left quickly.
Su Wan and Su Jianguo waited in the hospital for a while before the doctor came over. "The patient is fine, her fever is going down. She's not in good health. You relatives should pay more attention to the elderly's health. It's winter, so keep them warm. A fever is no small matter."
"Thank you, doctor. Can I go to the ward now?"
"Um."
The doctor nodded and said, "The old man is a little malnourished. Make more nutritious soup for him."
Su Wan agreed and waited until the doctor left before entering the ward with Su Jianguo.
Grandma Zhao in the ward hadn't woken up yet, so Su Wan said to Su Jianguo, "Second brother, go buy some soup. Grandma Zhao hasn't had breakfast yet, and she might be hungry when she wakes up. Go buy her some other food."
"I see."
Although Su Jianguo didn't know why his sister wanted to help Grandma Zhao, she had bought her gold ingots after all, so he knew her and it would be bad for him to just stand by and watch her die.
After everyone left, Su Wan sat in front of the bed and Grandma Zhao woke up.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Grandma Zhao finally woke up.
She opened her cloudy eyes, turned her head to look at Su Wan who was sitting there yawning, and opened her mouth, "Little girl, it's you!"
"Grandma Zhao."
Su Wan immediately reached out and held Grandma Zhao down. "You have a high fever. I waited for you at the intersection for a long time but you didn't come, so I went to your door and knocked. The neighbors said you hadn't left yet. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I went in with your neighbors. We found you unconscious and rushed you to the hospital."
She explained, and Grandma Zhao thanked her, "Thank you, little girl, you saved me."
"It's just a simple favor. The doctor said you're malnourished. You need to take care of yourself!"
Grandma Zhao nodded weakly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
The old man still needs her care, how could anything happen to her?
Su Jianguo came in at this time.
He came in with food in his hand, looked at Grandma Zhao, and smiled innocently, "Grandma Zhao, I bought you breakfast, please eat some first!"
"Thank you!"
Grandma Zhao didn't act pretentiously. She was supported and leaned against the hospital bed. She drank the black chicken soup bought by Su Jianguo and ate two meat buns. Only then did she regain her strength.
"I'll give you the money later."
Grandma Zhao was full and didn't want to take advantage of anyone, so she asked immediately.
Su Wan shook her head. "It's not much. I came to buy something from you. I've brought the money. I'll give it to you after you finish the infusion."
"Yesterday I thought you wouldn't come. Few people are willing to spend so much money on gold all at once. The gold shop is trying to undercut me on the price. They're only willing to give me 25 yuan per gram."
Otherwise, she wouldn't risk finding someone to buy it from outside.
"You gave me a very low price, I'm quite happy."
"If you want that gold ingot at the back, I'll sell it to you for 25 yuan per gram."
Su Wan was also surprised when Grandma Zhao suddenly said this.
She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Grandma Zhao, I'm helping you out because it's convenient for me. I'll charge you whatever you want. You don't have to negotiate a lower price just because of me."
Normally, she would have taken advantage of this, but the fact that Grandma Zhao was reluctant to eat even though she had money meant that she was short of money. Moreover, she had said before that her husband was in the hospital and needed money, so she would feel guilty if she took advantage of this.
Grandma Zhao patted the back of her hand and said, "You are so stupid, kid. Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity?"
"Grandma Zhao, you made so much money selling a gold ingot, but you're still malnourished. Is it because Grandpa needs a lot of money in the hospital?"
"He had heart surgery, and I paid all the $6,000 for the surgery."
Six thousand yuan, all paid for the surgery. No wonder Grandma Zhao is malnourished.
Su Wan asked again, "How much is left for Grandpa's surgery?"
"The surgery fee has been paid in full, and I also paid for the subsequent hospitalization fees. The subsequent recovery will not cost that much money, but I still need to take medicine, which costs over a hundred yuan every month."
Grandma Zhao had already calculated that the six thousand yuan Su Wan brought today would be enough for the two of them to use for three to four years.
There were other good things at home, so she was not worried. She just hoped that the gold ingots could be sold for more money. She would not sell those family heirlooms if possible, because she had a son and a daughter who were sent abroad before the criticism and denunciation. Unfortunately, she had no news of them after they went abroad. Now she only hoped to see her children in her lifetime.
Although, the chances of that happening are extremely small.
"Which hospital is grandpa in? Does he need care?"
Su Wan asked this, but Grandma Zhao shook her head, "No, he's in the hospital's intensive care unit now, with nurses taking care of him."
"That's good. You can go home once your fever subsides. Do you have anyone you know? It's not safe for you to be home alone. If something happens, no one will know."
Hearing this, Grandma Zhao shook her head and said, "No, there are no relatives at home."
"What will you do when you return?"
Su Wan was really worried. The old man was so old and had no relatives around him. If something happened, no one would know.
If she hadn't gone to see Grandma Zhao today, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
Grandma Zhao said cheerfully, "It's okay. I've already told the neighbors in advance. If we old couple don't go out by noon, they'll come in and help."
Su Wan looked at Grandma Zhao, who seemed to be in a good mood, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
She said, "It's okay. My second brother and I will take you back later."
After the infusion, it was almost noon.
They received a refund of 83.7 yuan out of the 100 yuan they paid. They took the money and sent Grandma Zhao home.
Seeing that Grandma Zhao was weak, Su Jianguo simply carried Grandma Zhao on his back and quickly headed towards her home.
When Grandma Zhao came back, the neighbor also greeted her, "Old lady, is this someone you know?"
"Yes, a distant relative."
As Grandma Zhao answered, the neighbors' eyes changed when they looked at Su Wan and the other person.
Su Wan didn't pay attention and let Su Jianguo carry Grandma Zhao into the yard. Seeing that the yard was a bit dirty, she thought about it and still couldn't bear it.
Thinking about how much she had taken advantage of Grandma Zhao, Su Wan said, "Grandma Zhao, I see your yard needs cleaning. My second brother and I happen to have some free time, so let me help you clean it!"
In her previous life, she often did volunteer work in high school and college, and she has a lot of experience in such things.
"Xiao Su, there's no need to trouble you like this."
Grandma Zhao said this, but Su Wan didn't listen.
She and Su Jianguo cleaned the yard, one cleaning the yard, and the other cleaning the kitchen and the room. They didn't rummage through the drawers, but just washed the quilts that needed to be washed and wiped the tables and chairs clean.
Watching the brother and sister busying around, Grandma Zhao's eyes turned red and turbid tears flowed from her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and wiped them away.
