More than an hour passed in a flash, and I looked at many houses, but none of them were suitable.
Either it's too messy or the rent is too expensive.
"Xiao Chen, I have a relative's friend who owns a house in a village in the city, and it's vacant now."
After receiving a message, Song Ziyan smiled and said, "I just asked someone, and the price is very cheap, only 300 yuan a month, and water and electricity are all free. How about we go over and take a look?"
"Ah, there are such cheap houses in the urban village?" Xiao Chen asked with some confusion.
Although Tongfang High School is not in the city center, it is relatively close to the university town.
Even if it is a house in a village in the city, the starting price is more than 2,000 yuan per month.
"Yes, let's go and take a look." Song Ziyan took his hand and ran over.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Uncle Ming, the Song family's housekeeper, had already disguised himself as the owner of the house.
Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he folded his hands in front of him and looked very polite.
Song Ziyan's temperament was not well controlled, and he coughed twice. Uncle Ming finally came to his senses and quickly put his hands behind his back.
Uncle Ming said with a smile: "My son got married and bought a house in another city, so the old house has been idle."
"Old houses need people to live in them, otherwise they'll fall apart quickly. If you're satisfied, just give me a symbolic amount."
"Uncle, we are very satisfied. No problem, let's sign the contract." Xiao Chen had already looked around.
This place has a good exit, the yard is big enough, and there are no illegal buildings around it.
There is also a small vegetable market not far away, so it is perfect for grandma to live here.
"Okay, you seem to be a good kid, so I'll give you a discount. Two thousand yuan a year." Uncle Ming waved his hand.
After signing the contract and paying a year's rent, Song Ziyan secretly made an OK gesture to Uncle Ming.
After thanking Song Ziyan, he took his grandmother over.
I asked for leave from the teacher that afternoon to help my grandma clean the yard.
Grandma Wu was very efficient. After working for most of the day, the yard looked brand new.
"Chenchen, sit down and take a rest." Grandma Wu asked Xiao Chen to sit down and poured him a glass of water.
"It's okay, grandma, I'm not tired." Xiao Chen took the water and took a sip.
"Chenchen, tell grandma the truth, are they not treating you well?" Grandma Wu suddenly asked.
They, of course, refer to Xiao Chen's parents.
Xiao Chen froze while drinking water, then put the cup down. He looked normal: "It's okay, grandma. I'm used to it."
"Those two bastards, you are their son too, how can they be so partial to you?" Grandma Wu was a little angry.
"I'm going to the Xiao family tomorrow. I want to ask your mother in person if she also gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy."
"Grandma..." Xiao Chen held Grandma Wu's hand: "Don't ask, I have already cut off ties with them."
"I can support myself. As long as my grandma is with me, I will be content."
Grandma Wu held Xiao Chen in her arms distressedly: "Grandma is with you, always with you."
At this moment, Grandma Wu suddenly frowned, pressed her chest, and her face showed some pain.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Is your heart feeling uncomfortable again?" Xiao Chen was surprised and quickly helped her sit down and poured her a glass of water.
My grandmother had heart problems and passed away early in her previous life because no one took care of her.
So he is very worried now.
"It's okay, it's an old illness. I just need to rest for a while." Grandma Wu drank some water and her brows relaxed.
"Grandma, you should take a rest. One of my classmates and his elder brother also had insufficient blood supply to his heart, but he recovered after taking Chinese medicine."
"I have the prescription. I'll go out and get it for you now."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he left in a hurry. There was a chain pharmacy called Zhongjingtang not far from here.
In his previous life, he felt very guilty about his grandmother’s sudden passing.
He also received a good prescription for treating heart disease from a Taoist priest.
It’s a pity that grandma didn’t get to use it. Now that he has been reborn, he will not allow grandma to leave early again.
I went out, scanned a shared bicycle, and ran to the nearest pharmacy.
I wrote down the prescription according to my memory and gave it to the clerk to get the medicine.
The attitude of the shop assistant was average, with a stern face as if someone owed her millions.
And her attitude was extremely perfunctory. Just as she was about to pack up the six sets of medicine, Xiao Chen frowned and said, "Sister, one of the ingredients, Danshen, is missing."
Because of his guilt towards his grandmother, Xiao Chen has a very deep memory of these medicines.
The medicine was indeed missing an ingredient. If he hadn't discovered it in time, would the clerk have planned to fool him?
"What's missing? What do you, a kid, know?" The clerk thought it was too troublesome and was even too lazy to get another medicine.
"This is medicine, for humans to take. Salvia miltiorrhiza is the most important ingredient, how can it be missing?"
Xiao Chen frowned: "What if the patient has problems after eating?"
"What's wrong with you, little brat?" The clerk pointed at Xiao Chen and said angrily, "I've packed the medicine. That's all. Five hundred."
This medicine costs at most one hundred yuan. The clerk saw that Xiao Chen was a child and deliberately made things difficult for him.
"First, the dosage is not enough. You are missing one ingredient, Salvia miltiorrhiza. You are shortchanged."
"Secondly, the price of this medicine is regulated. Your price is considered price gouging."
Xiao Chen pointed to the computer of the Drug Administration and said, "Guess what they will do if I call the Drug Administration."
"You..." The clerk didn't expect this high school student to be so difficult.
Shortchanging goods and driving up prices.
The maximum penalty for these two things is at least tens of thousands of yuan. Thinking about the consequences, the clerk still added Salvia miltiorrhiza to the medicine.
And the price was recalculated, one hundred and fifty.
Xiao Chen picked up the medicine and scanned the code to pay.
I was thinking that my wallet was almost empty again. I had invested 50,000 yuan in the stock market, and all I had left was the 3,000 yuan reward from the principal.
I used the two thousand to pay the rent, and the fastest return from the stock market will take at least half a month. It seems I have to find a way to make some money.
As he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of a black object on a tattered snakeskin bag in the corner of the store entrance.
A light bulb went off in his mind, and he realized that the precious Chinese medicine from his previous life matched the thing in the corner.
Purple stem Ganoderma lucidum is a very rare thing and a treasure in traditional Chinese medicine.
Its value is equivalent to that of wild ginseng. In the previous life, someone paid a high price to buy it as a medicine.
Apparently, a drugstore owner bought it and sold it for 500,000 yuan.
The one in front of me is twice as big as I imagined.
"How much is this piece of Ganoderma lucidum?" Xiao Chen pointed.
"One thousand, no bargaining." The clerk snorted and rolled his eyes.
An old man dug it up from the mountains and the boss bought it for fifty yuan.
This high school student knows nothing, and the things dug out from the mountains can be priced higher.
"I want eight hundred." Xiao Chen made a symbolic counteroffer.
"Scan the money and take it." The clerk looked at Xiao Chen in surprise.
Xiao Chen suppressed the joy in his heart, took out his mobile phone to scan the code, then asked for a plastic bag and put the Ganoderma lucidum in the bag.
