Chapter 151151 Reasons for divorce & here comes the credit!
But Shu Wenming had no idea where it was exactly. "Jin Yue, you went there today and took a look around. Did you find anything?"
"Yes, Sun Laoliu's family has come back to life."
Shu Wenming sneered, "If they run their business that way, it's all because of us consumers that they can make it big."
Consumers are really used to such bad stores. That is to say, they were the first one, and they made their first profit in the first few months when no one else was buying. Later, when Xu Wenli opened the business, their store disappeared instantly.
"You don't want to open it over there too, do you?" As soon as Jin Yue asked, she knew she was exposed again. She had been thinking about this on the way back today.
"Mom, Bingbing." Little Yueliang broke free from the nanny's arms and staggered towards Shu Jinyue, holding a purple popsicle in her hand, which was said to be the newly released grape-flavored popsicle.
"Why are you eating popsicles again? You guys have eaten too much these past few days. That's a bit too much."
"Little glutton, you should eat in moderation, understand? You should be a self-disciplined little girl in the future, not a greedy girl."
Shu Wenming laughed and thought of his wife, "Yes, yes, it's easy to be deceived by others if you are greedy."
When the little girl saw her uncle smiling, she knew her mother was not really angry, and she immediately stuffed the popsicle dripping with saliva into her mother's mouth. Jin Yue took a bite and found it quite sweet, with a real grape flavor, different from the flavors blended with essences in later generations. It had a simple and authentic feeling that the child could not refuse at all.
However, she also found that these children have been eating too many popsicles recently. "Every day when I come back at noon, I see you eating popsicles. If you eat too much of these cold foods, you won't be able to eat your meals properly."
"I heard from dad that the man selling popsicles always comes here, and every time they hear someone calling, they start clamoring for some." Xu Wenli continued.
"You can't eat it every day. Let's make it clear from now on. If you really want to eat it, just wait for mom to come back and buy it, okay?"
Little Moon didn't understand and said "OK" in a dazed voice, then went off to play with her brothers and sisters. Little Star was her little follower and followed her wherever she went, like a little follower without any ideas.
Jin Yue didn't really want to teach them a lesson for Bing Gang'er, so he turned around and continued to talk to his second brother about opening a supermarket. "I think that my second sister-in-law's Wenli store is already very well-known in the area. If we continue to open it there, we can still take advantage of the accumulated fame. If we move to a new place, we may not have this convenience."
"Of course, I'm also worried that someone will take advantage of the reputation she has worked so hard to build for so many years."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
"Think about it. If you live nearby and know that there is a Wenli store with a good reputation, and if one day a 'genuine Wenli store' or 'Wenli's store' suddenly pops up near the original Wenli store, would you also think that it is the same store? Even if the seller looks different, you will still buy things just because of the store name, and believe that the quality of the goods inside must be good and the price must be fair, right?"
Shu Wenming sat up straight. "Yes, if they buy expired or counterfeit goods one day, they will think it is Wenli's fault and may even cause trouble for Wenli."
Her reputation was taken advantage of by others, and Wenli had to bear the blame.
"No, I have to ask Wenli to register a trademark and register the neighboring ones as well."
Jin Yue laughed, "Registering a trademark is one thing, it only prevents others from taking advantage of it. The most important thing is that we have to use the good reputation we have worked so hard to build ourselves."
Shu Wenming's eyes lit up, "That's right, we can't waste it."
"That's what I said, but Liuye Hutong is not a commercial land according to the policy. It was fine to open a small shop in the past, and no one cared. But now I'm afraid it's not allowed to open a large supermarket. It's not in compliance with the regulations."
Otherwise, they have six large rooms in Yard No. 16. They could make some room by exchanging it with others or paying some money. But it is a residential building, and a large supermarket cannot be opened there.
"What if we move a little further away?"
"Further south is Shugang and Shuji. There is a great demand for employees from these factories, but there are no suitable locations or shops there. To the north is the area around your Xinqiao Sub-district Office, Huaishu Hutong... By the way, didn't the Sub-district Office take over Grandma Hu's house? Later, Director Niu proposed to turn it into a nursing home, but it was discontinued within two years. What do you think about renting it?"
Jin Yue shook her head, "It's not that great. That place is also residential land. Besides, public houses are hard to rent, and I don't want to change Grandma Hu's house." As long as it wasn't changed, she would feel that it was Grandma Hu's home. Every time she passed by the entrance of the alley, she wanted to go in and take a look.
It seemed that every time she walked in, she could see Grandma Hu's aloof and unruly face lying under the shade of the tree. Every time she wanted to check if she was still breathing, then the old lady would say in a bad mood: She's still alive.
When she was in love with Xu Duan, this house was like a witness and reference of their relationship, so she was reluctant to move.
"There's no room there. If you go further north you'll be on Main Street, and then it'll be too crowded at the San Department Store."
"It's good to be lively. It's good to be lively." Shu Jinyue suddenly had an idea. "Why not just go across from the San Department Store? We are currently only using the first and second floors of that small building for rehabilitation therapy."
When running a supermarket, what they want is popularity. As long as there are people there, they will go in and shop. As long as they shop around, they are likely to buy something. As long as they buy something, no matter how much or how little, they will make a profit.
Many large supermarkets are located in places with concentrated traffic. This has become a standard principle for store site selection in later generations. Unless a warehouse-style supermarket is located in a remote area, the first choice for regular department stores is always busy and prosperous.
"But you only have two floors."
Ever since the traditional Chinese medicine clinic moved out and a specialized rehabilitation clinic was turned there, business has been better than before. The previous renovation was aimed at high-end, so now it continues to stay in the downtown area to do rehabilitation work. There are also a lot more customers, especially female customers with strong purchasing power. After getting tired of shopping, they come to get some acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy, which can not only relieve fatigue but also solve some minor physical ailments. For Jin Yue, all this is money.
For consumers, the doctors there are much better and more professional than the so-called "technicians" in massage parlors. Most importantly, they are cheaper than theirs, and the environment is clean and hygienic. The beds are disposable medium-sized sheets that need to be changed by each person. There are scented tea to drink and snacks to eat during the massage. If you sweat or feel tired, you can take a shower on the spot and go home refreshed.
Xiao Cao and Xiao Wang are fully responsible for the rehabilitation and physiotherapy work there. Jin Yue only goes there occasionally. After not being there for a long time, he unexpectedly discovered so many little surprises.
These two people are not only good at technology, but also have some business acumen. It is a wise choice to hand it over to them.
"If the building is not big enough, we can add more floors. I saw that the buildings next to us added more floors in the second half of last year, and some of them added three or four floors. Our old houses were built very solidly and the foundations were well laid, so adding a few more floors is not a problem."
Shu Wenming paused. This was a possible solution. "Whether it can be built up or not, I'll ask the person in charge first."
He went to the living room and called several numbers. To keep it confidential, he did not mention the plan to open a supermarket. He only said that he wanted to add a few floors above the clinic and open a clothing store and a convenience store, just to test the waters.
"They said yes, just prepare the materials and send them for approval."
Didn't the venue problem get solved at once? Shu Jinyue's mood also improved. She didn't want to sell fresh vegetables in the supermarket at all because it was too troublesome, they were easy to spoil, and it was difficult to store and package them. Generally, not many people who go shopping in the downtown area would think of buying a bunch of beautiful clothes and then buy a few kilograms of vegetables to take home.
"Then this house is yours, and Wenli can just treat it as renting it from you and pay the rent every year, or you can just take the shares of the supermarket?"
It is definitely more cost-effective to take shares, and who knows how much money they will make in the future. But since they are family, Jin Yue does not want to take advantage of them at all, just like when she lent her 500,000 yuan that year, her second brother and his wife did not ask for shares in the hospital. This fruit of victory should be enjoyed by them alone.
"Okay, let's just rent it. Once you decide how to build it, you can find someone to do it. I'll just be responsible for paying for it."
Shu Wenming was amused. "You don't care about your house, and you want me to make the decision?"
"I'm busy, just keep an eye on it for me." If it weren't for the huge potential for appreciation in value of this house in the future, Jin Yue would have wanted to sell it directly to his second brother.
Forget it, this little bit of money is not a small thing. It will be of great use in the future if you keep it.
At night, Jin Yue tried to take care of the child to sleep alone. Ever since their father went on a business trip, Yueliang and Xingxing have become particularly well-behaved when they sleep with their mother at night. They only move occasionally or hum a few times, but to Shu Jinyue, who has hardly taken care of them, these noises are like the buzzing of a mosquito and she doesn't even notice them! Anyway, as long as the child sleeps well when she wakes up in the morning, it's fine. She has always believed that if the child is uncomfortable somewhere, it will definitely not be enough to just hum a few times.
***
The next day, Anna reported in and started working officially. Jin Yue first asked Li Xuemei to take her to familiarize herself with the hospital, and then slowly let her get involved in the work of the vice president when the time was right.
Shu Jinyue thought about it for a few days and decided to get rid of the old man. If he continued to do things in such a greedy way, Shu Jinyue felt that something bad was going to happen. I should have listened to Xu Duan in the first place. Using this person was like trying to grab chestnuts from the fire. Now, I didn't get many chestnuts, but I got a big bruise on myself first.
Working in a hospital is different from working outside. If you're not careful, something big might happen, the kind of thing that cannot be reversed or saved. Jin Yue is afraid that what he earns is not enough to pay for the compensation, so he can only make up his mind to replace the person.
A few days later, it was Sunday again. Jin Yue was resting at home. Zhao Wanqiu was also resting and sitting in the yard doing needlework. She wanted to make two pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles for the moon and the stars. The child can walk now and she is particularly fond of shoes. The ones bought from the store are nice, but she thinks they are not as good as the ones she makes herself. She is usually busy with work and can only make them for a while after dinner. As time goes by, two pairs of small shoes are almost taken shape.
Jin Yue was just about to tell her to stop and take a rest when he suddenly heard someone talking in the yard.
"Oh, what's going on with the Zhao family?" Zhao Wanqiu suddenly saw Aunt Zhao come in with red eyes.
"Wanqiu, I... wuwu... I..."
Zhao Wanqiu quickly put down her needlework and said, "What's the matter? Sit down and talk slowly."
"It's all because of my good-for-nothing son. He's really pissing me off to death!"
It turned out that Aunt Zhao's son Laowu was resting at home today when a group of people suddenly rushed in, grabbed him and beat him up, saying that he had a bad conscience and had harmed their sister. Aunt Zhao was so scared that her legs went weak on the spot.
"Who are they?" Zhao Wanqiu felt inexplicably familiar with this scene.
Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed. "My Xiaowu's brothers-in-law and ex-brother-in-law."
"That's not fair. Even if they're divorced, we're still relatives. How can you hit someone?"
Aunt Zhao sighed and wiped her tears, "Ah, it's our family that's in the wrong in this matter, alas..."
"Just tell me what's going on."
Shu Jinyue thought to herself that her mother was so angry about what happened to her old sisters that she didn't pay attention to what they said just now, but she roughly knew what was going on.
Aunt Zhao was embarrassed. "This... well, it's hard to say. Xiaowu and his wife have been married for many years, but they have no children. They divorced last year, and I am too embarrassed to say it."
Zhao Wanqiu was not surprised at all. People of their age have seen all kinds of marriages. After so many years, they got divorced and had no children. She knew the reason at a glance. It was just that Aunt Zhao was too strong-willed to tell anyone about it, so everyone pretended not to know. Even though there were two doctors in her family, Zhao Wanqiu didn't dare to take the initiative to ask them to see the doctor.
"It's not that we don't trust you and Jin Yue. It's about this matter. Xiao Wu himself doesn't want to do it. He said that this disease can't be cured. It's his problem. It's not his wife's fault. His wife has been with him for so many years and has done her best."
Zhao Wanqiu didn't know what to say, so she could only pat her on the back of her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as she's fine, it's okay to look at it in a positive way."
"I thought so too. Today, his brothers-in-law came to cause trouble. We were in the wrong, so I didn't dare to say anything. I just kept apologizing. They cursed at me a few times, vented their anger, and left."
"It's good that it didn't get out of hand. Is Xiaowu okay?"
"What could possibly happen to him? He deserved it even if his legs were broken. How could... how could... Alas, it was us who harmed him."
Zhao Wanqiu was really curious, but she was afraid of upsetting her elder sister, so she could only advise her calmly, "Think more positively, think more positively. There are many people in the world who don't have children anyway, and you don't see how they are doing. They are still happy."
Aunt Zhao listened to these repetitive words and gradually stopped talking. Shu Jinyue was just thinking that she could finally rest and have a good sleep when she suddenly heard her whisper, "When he was a child, about five or six years old, there was a mumps epidemic in his school that year, and he was infected. Old Zhao couldn't bear to spend money to send him to the hospital, so he tore two pieces of green onion leaves apart and applied them to his head at home. He got better after two or three days, and we didn't take it seriously."
Zhao Wanqiu nodded. "I remember this. I saw it and asked what happened. I also advised you to take him to the hospital. Mumps is an infectious disease. Its scientific name is acute mumps. It could be dangerous if not treated properly."
"We didn't take him to the hospital to save a few dollars. Later, when we saw that his cheeks were no longer swollen, we didn't care about it anymore. Who knew that half a month later, when he was taking a shower, we found that his testicles were red and swollen. He kept crying out in pain. I thought he was bitten by a bug or mosquito, so I applied some Fengyoujing on him. It felt cool when I applied it, and hey, he was healed in a few days."
Originally, Shu Jinyue was drowsy and wanted to sleep, but when he heard this, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. Wasn't the part about using Fengyoujing the same as what happened to Xiao Ling? Why is it that the “wisdom” of ordinary people is all the same? Does it really not hurt?
"Alas, it was my fault. After I wiped it, it wasn't swollen much, so I didn't care anymore. There are so many children in the family. If we all have to take off their pants for inspection, Old Zhao can't support us with just one worker. I have to find a way to fill their stomachs... After two or three years, one day I heard the fourth child say that the fifth child's testicles were big on one side and small on the other. I was shocked. I took them apart and found that it was true. The left one was normal, and the right one was obviously much smaller. But I clearly remembered that they were the same size before. Later, I thought about it and it should be the swelling after the mumps that year. I didn't care, so it got worse and shrunk."
Zhao Wanqiu understood immediately, "This is oral inflammation caused by acute mumps, which may have affected fertility."
"Oh, yes, yes, he hasn't been able to get pregnant in the past few years since he got married. He went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that his two eggs were empty and he couldn't get pregnant. It's all our fault. If we had been more careful and taken him to the hospital, it wouldn't have ended up like this..."
Aunt Zhao started crying again as she spoke, "He was such a grown man, so tall and handsome, but who would have known that... The wife in front had done her best. She didn't tell anyone for so many years, didn't ruin his reputation, and kept encouraging him, saying that he could be cured. In the end, Xiaowu couldn't bear to delay her any longer, so he took the initiative to file for divorce. His brothers-in-law didn't know about it, and thought that Xiaowu had changed his mind. They came to make trouble today because they just found out that it was Xiaowu's problem..."
How could they dare to fight back at this time? They had wasted the girl's youth for so many years, and it was lucky enough that they didn't ask him for compensation. They just got a beating.
"When they divorced, Xiaowu didn't ask for anything. He gave all his savings to the woman. After all, he had always lived in their house, and he gave her the bicycle and TV. They parted ways amicably."
Zhao Wanqiu also sighed and felt regretful. This tragedy could have been avoided if children had paid more attention when they were young and parents had been more attentive... However, many of these injuries cannot be seen in childhood and are not known until adulthood and marriage. Medical matters are discovered and summarized slowly. The doctor did not know at the beginning that mumps could cause orchitis.
Even Zhao Wanqiu only heard about this from an experienced old doctor a few years before her retirement. Many doctors nowadays may not even know about this in their entire lives.
Zhao Xiaowu is definitely not the first "victim" nor the last.
"It's just bad luck. We have accepted it and Xiaowu has accepted it too. But Old Zhao is stubborn. He always wants to find him a companion, preferably a remarried woman with children. The children will be younger, so she can grow up and have feelings for him. She will still be filial to him in the future, just like, just like..." Jin Yue treated Teacher Shu the same way.
Everyone knows the relationship between Jin Yue and Teacher Shu, and they all see how filial Jin Yue is. Who wouldn't say it behind her back? They are both daughters, but Jin Yue, who is not only the biological daughter, is more filial than Wen Yun, who is also the biological daughter. Wenyun only comes back once every few years, and the wedding was just a casual one. Although money is given to her every year, how much can she spend when she is old? I just want my children to be around and take care of me.
Even if she gave him ten or twenty thousand, it was still not as much as what Jin Yue was taking care of right in front of him, not to mention that Jin Yue was also generous with his money, which was not less than what she gave.
Because of this ready-made "example", Old Zhao is now working with all his might. Even though he is over 60 years old, he still works overtime to earn money to find a remarried woman to take care of his son's children.
While Zhao Wanqiu was still sighing, Shu Jinyue came to her senses. She knew why Xiao Ling's testicles were swollen. It should be the same situation as Zhao Xiaowu's!
But she really didn't like the attitude of the Ling family. They had just said harsh words that day that they would not give her treatment, and now she was taking the initiative to approach them. She had no way out.
Jin Yue didn't care about her own face. She was just worried that if she approached them like this without any skills, they would become more rebellious and unwilling to cooperate, which would delay the child's condition.
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with this matter, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. Zhao Wanqiu was close by, so she answered it. Three minutes later, she pulled Jin Yue's room and asked, "Jin Yue, are you awake?"
"Wake up mom."
"It's the inpatient department calling, saying there's a patient in a difficult situation, and they want you to go take a look."
"What's going on?" Jin Yue put on his coat and went out, pretending to have just seen Aunt Zhao and greeted her, "You sit down and play for a while, I'm going to the hospital."
Zhao Wanqiu couldn't say anything in front of her old sisters, so she followed Jin Yue to the front yard and whispered, "It was the 18-year-old high school student with swollen testicles that you went to see the other day. Director Jin of the city hospital personally transferred him here. The swelling hadn't gone down, and his condition wasn't very good, so he advised the patient to try Chinese medicine."
Shu Jinyue was so angry that she laughed. Director Jin was such a cunning old man, even a loach was not as cunning as him. When it was still curable, he controlled the patient tightly, fearing that she would interfere and step on him to get ahead. Now, after so many days of treatment, there was no cure and the condition was getting worse. He was afraid and sent this hot potato to Jinyue.
Oh, he's really something!
Fortunately this time, she roughly knew what was going on. If she was still blind like she was in the past few days, then if he sent the patient to her hospital, wouldn't he be putting the blame on her? Especially since the patient's family members don't trust her at all, they want to send her a bunch of medical reserve troops.
Shu Jinyue was so angry with the old guy, but luckily it was Ge Hong who was driving the car. The moment he got off the car at the hospital, Jinyue calmed down.
Taking the elevator directly to the surgical inpatient department, Jin Yue saw a circle of people gathered at the ward door as soon as he got out of the elevator.
"The dean is here."
Jin Yue nodded and walked over. The old man, Director Jin, came over to greet him immediately, as if he had met a relative. "Dean Shu is finally here. That's great. The child can be saved. At this critical moment, he still needs to see a Chinese doctor. I'll go back first since you're here. I still have things to do in the department. I'll leave Xiao Ling to you without any worries. I'll wait for your good news."
Shu Jinyue couldn't help but roll his eyes. Could you please stop taking advantage of me? It's so shameless that I want to give him a couple of slaps in the face.
In the ward, Ling's parents were standing by the bed, looking at their son like he was their beloved baby. Ling's mother's tears kept falling. "Doctor, doctor, you must save my son. We only have this one son."
"We will definitely try our best. Please move aside. Dean Shu is here. Let her take a look."
This time, the eyes of Ling's father and mother no longer looked at Jin Yue with the condescension they had before, but were full of pleading. "Dean Shu, I'm sorry. We were impulsive that day. Director Jin told us that you are an expert in treating difficult and complicated diseases. You will definitely find a way to save my son, right?"
In order to get rid of the hot potato, Director Jin has done everything she can to exaggerate her medical skills. Now the expectations of the patient's family are raised higher. If she can't cure the patient, the more disappointed they will be. Won't they vent their anger on her then?
Haha, but he miscalculated that Shu Jinyue couldn't guarantee other diseases, but she was really sure about Xiao Ling.
Then this is not "diverting trouble to others", but rather seeking credit!
