Shen Jiaojiao quickly patted her pocket and said, “Grandpa, there’s money in here.”
"Money?" Old Master Chen frowned. "Why would you carry money with you for no reason? It's safer to keep it at home."
"That's not necessarily true, Grandpa. My useless second brother is always thinking about the money in my pocket. If I leave it at home, they will go there and look for it sooner or later. It's better to carry it with me. Besides," Shen Jiaojiao smiled, "I have bought the money into stocks, which is absolutely safe."
Mr. Chen thought he had misheard and checked again.
"What did you say you bought?"
"Stocks," Shen Jiaojiao said easily, but the old man in front of him was already furious. In their time, the safest money was in the bank. What kind of money was stocks? Seeing that the old man's face was not right, Shen Jiaojiao explained again, "Grandpa, don't worry, these stocks are carefully selected by me, there must be no problem."
Old Master Chen was so angry that he couldn't speak. If Chen Jingzhuo hadn't repeatedly told him to take care of his granddaughter-in-law, he would have wanted to hit her with his crutch.
"Jiaojiao, please don't do anything rash. How much did you buy?"
Shen Jiaojiao also said honestly: "The money for my marriage with Jing Zhuo, as well as the dowry given by my parents' side, have all been used to buy it."
The old man almost fainted, and even Wang Xiulian beside him was sweating, not knowing what Shen Jiaojiao meant. Didn't she say she wanted to cure the old man? By doing this, she was afraid that she would anger the old man to death.
"Return it to me immediately."
"Grandpa, I'm sure you'll make some money. It's not worthwhile to give it up now."
"I had a colleague before, and his grandson stole all the money to buy stocks. His expression was exactly the same as yours now. He said he could make money, but in the end, he squandered all the family's money."
Old Master Chen also slapped his forehead. The person standing in front of him was not his granddaughter-in-law at all. She was simply a troublemaker. So much money was wasted by her?
Shen Jiaojiao could also understand why he had such an idea. People in that era did not have the concept of financial management. For them, money was either kept in the bank or held in their own hands.
Buying stocks is undoubtedly no different from gambling, and it is also considered a scam.
Seeing the old man so angry, Shen Jiaojiao also said to him, "Grandpa, although it is stocks, it is also issued by the bank. It is normal to have losses and gains. I can guarantee that the ones I bought will definitely win."
Old Master Chen didn't believe it. She wasn't a staff member there, so even if it was true, she couldn't say for sure, right?
He now wanted to drive Shen Jiaojiao away immediately, but after all, she was his granddaughter-in-law, so he couldn't say it out loud. His attitude towards Shen Jiaojiao was not so good, and his words were all sarcastic.
"Young Madam, why don't you just follow the old man's instructions and sell the stocks? I see the old man is so angry right now. If he really gets sick from anger, we won't be able to explain to the young master."
Not only was Shen Jiaojiao unwilling to go out to sell, she also refused to leave at night.
"You're not going back today?"
"No, Grandpa, take all these bills. Go to the bank when you have nothing to do. I will stay here tonight to have dinner with you and take a nap."
Old Master Chen said unhappily, "I don't want to go. If you really lose everything, and you and Jingzhuo can't make a living in the future, I won't care about you."
Shen Jiaojiao smiled without saying a word, just lowered her head to eat.
The next day, Shen Jiaojiao hadn't gotten up yet. The old man was worried about losing money, so he took the bills to the bank. Because he went too early, the bank was not open yet, so he could only wait outside.
Judging from his appearance, he won’t go back until he sees something today.
Soon the bank opened and he hurried in with the bills.
There will be new interest rates written on it, and Mr. Chen also picked it up for comparison. He didn't expect that what Shen Jiaojiao said was right. All the rates have increased.
Old Master Chen looked very excited. He didn't do anything at home, but he could make money just by doing this?
He felt that maybe Chen Jiaojiao was just lucky today. He had nothing to do anyway, so he would come here every morning from now on. If it was really as Chen Jiaojiao said, then it would not be a loss to exchange the money for stocks.
Shen Jiaojiao got up. Old Man Chen had not come back yet. Wang Xiulian had prepared breakfast, so she sat down and ate some quickly.
"Aunt Wang, how long has grandpa been gone?"
"It's been a while, Madam. Will you cause any harm to the old man by doing this?"
"No, just wait for him at home. It would be nice to find him something to do," Shen Jiaojiao took a few bites, and seeing that time was running out, she hurried to the emergency room.
If she was late, Zhang Ning would definitely embarrass her in front of everyone.
"Doctor Shen." A woman's voice came from behind.
Shen Jiaojiao stopped only after she was sure that she was being called.
"You are Dr. Shen from the emergency room, right? Do you remember me?"
"Mrs. Xiao, right?" Shen Jiaojiao saw her pushing a bicycle, and she looked pretty good. "Of course I remember. Why are you still here? Is it your family again..."
"No, they're fine. Doctor Shen, I see the medical skills you used to treat our family last time weren't learned in the emergency room. How did you learn them?"
Shen Jiaojiao touched her head and said, "I learned Chinese medicine from the clothing master in the countryside."
"So that's how it is. This is the first time I've seen it. It's really eye-opening that it can cure diseases like that. Doctor Shen, my father-in-law once told me about Western medicine and Chinese medicine. I don't really understand much. If you have time, could you come to my house and see my father-in-law? I told him about you last time, and he was so happy."
She thought it was something else, but it turned out to be about this matter.
"To be honest, my father-in-law has been hospitalized here for a long time, but he's never fully recovered. We spent a lot of money, but I don't know what the final condition will be."
"Of course it's no problem, but Mrs. Xiao, I haven't been to the emergency room yet, and I haven't asked for leave in advance, so I can't go with you now. I'll go back and see if they're busy. If they're not busy, I can take the time to go over and take a look."
Mrs. Xiao thanked her repeatedly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Doctor Shen."
She hadn't gone there yet, and she didn't know whether Zhang Ning would let her go. After Mrs. Xiao got her affirmative answer, she took breakfast and went to the inpatient department. Shen Jiaojiao also smiled and turned to go to the emergency room.
