Yun Jin had only two thousand dollars in cash, five thousand Hong Kong dollars, and two kilograms of gold.
The medical expenses are HK$35,000, and that's just for today. There will definitely be more medical expenses to come, and the money she has is simply not enough.
Yun Jin asked the nurse if she could pay part of the medical expenses first.
The nurse, seeing Yun Jin's plain clothes and unfashionable style, knew that she was poor.
The cashier said, "No, we will not accept treatment if the medical expenses are insufficient. Please pay the full amount of medical expenses."
After glancing at the bill, the staff member said, "There are also externally purchased medicines, which are quite expensive. The hospital doesn't have these medicines. If the medical expenses aren't received, we won't procure them. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
Yun Jin nodded: "I understand. Can I come to pay the bill this afternoon?"
The staff member nodded: "Okay, but if it's been more than 24 hours, the bill will be void and you'll need to register again."
Here, you have to pay to make an appointment; you can't just see a doctor anytime.
To book a doctor's appointment, the registration fee can easily cost several tens of yuan.
Yun Jin acknowledged that she understood, took the bill, and left.
He Ziqian saw her predicament and gave Yun Jin the money he had brought: "Auntie, this is from my parents. They said if you don't have enough money, take it first. Treating your eyes is more important."
Yun Jin didn't stand on ceremony with him this time: "Okay, I'll borrow it for a bit, and I'll pay you back when I make money in the future."
He Ziqian waved his hand: "My parents said I don't need to pay it back."
"How can that be!" Yun Jin knew that Brother He and the others meant well. They had worked hard to save their money, and she couldn't let them spend it for nothing.
He Ziqian also took out his own money: "This is my salary. I usually spend a lot of money, and I only have a little over ninety yuan. Auntie, please don't mind."
Yun Jin really didn't intend to borrow his money: "Keep this money for yourself. We'll be here for several more days, so you should keep some money on you."
He Ziqian: "......"
Auntie, you just think I don't have enough money!
Waaah, I should have known better than to waste money like that.
It's really not presentable.
While the two were discussing money, He Tingchuan didn't say anything, but quietly moved closer to Yun Jin, and then moved closer still.
Soon, he was standing next to Yun Jin, and he even secretly tugged at his wife's clothes.
Yun Jin observed his subtle actions but chose not to expose them.
She had originally intended to provoke him, but now that he seemed obedient, Yun Jin stopped trying to provoke him.
It's bad enough that he can't see, but she deliberately tries to provoke him. Isn't that bullying a blind person?
Zhou Da noticed that she didn't have enough money and said, "If needed, I can apply to my superiors to borrow some money to pay your medical expenses."
Yun Jin politely declined the offer and asked Zhou Da, "Are there any safe and reliable places to sell gold around here?"
Zhou Da raised an eyebrow: "You have some?"
Yun Jin nodded.
Zhou Da knew perfectly well that they could never be short of money.
If I didn't have money, how could I dare to come here for eye treatment?
Zhou Da nodded reliably: "I know. If you trust me, you can entrust it to me. The price is about the same as the market price. If it's a private gold buyback, a handling fee will be deducted."
Yun Jin knew this, which is why she asked Zhou Da for information; she didn't want to earn handling fees for others.
When you're short of money, even a few cents is money.
Save where you can.
Once in the car, Yun Jin took the cloth bag from He Tingchuan and took out two large yellow croakers. These were given to her by He's mother before, and Yun Jin hadn't spent any of them; she brought them all with her this time.
Zhou Da was still a little excited when he saw the large yellow croaker: "I'll take you back to the hotel later and then go exchange the money."
Yun Jin said gratefully, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Zhou Da dropped them off at the hotel and immediately drove away.
After all that trouble, they were exhausted.
Seeing a fast food restaurant by the roadside, they went in and ate some hamburgers and fries.
Yun Jin and her friends didn't plan to eat at that wonton noodle shop; the owner there displeased them.
He Ziqian, who was trying hamburgers and fried chicken for the first time, raised an eyebrow: "It tastes good. Why don't we have it where I'm from?"
Yun Jin handed He Tingchuan a hamburger: "Eat it by biting into it."
He Tingchuan nodded, took a bite, and found the taste strange. He could eat it occasionally, but he couldn't eat it often.
As Yun Jin ate her fries and bit into her chicken wrap, she thought to herself that if she opened a fast food restaurant like this in Beijing, it would definitely be a huge success.
After all, with the development of the market and the improvement of people's lives, these hamburger shops have been doing well in later generations.
No matter when, as long as you cook food, it won't be too bad.
Yun Jin ate her hamburger while thinking about how to make money.
This medical treatment has drained her finances completely, so she really needs to find a way to earn money.
The fast food restaurant had a TV, and many people were excitedly chatting while watching the horse race on TV: "That horse died, it made me lose so much money!"
"Number eight is good. I'm betting on number eight for this horse race!"
"The inside information says that number two is possible."
"real?"
"How about we buy number two and try it out?"
Yun Jin overheard a bit, then watched the horse racing on TV and realized that people here liked horse racing and stocks.
Long-lost memories suddenly overwhelmed Yun Jin.
Looking at those swift and spirited horses, Yun Jin had a bold idea.
She went out of her way to buy a newspaper, just in time for a summer horse race three days later. If the horse she bought won the championship, she would win a proportional prize.
Since she was already there, Yun Jin decided to take a gamble.
Thinking of this, Yun Jin excitedly hugged He Tingchuan. The tall and imposing man hardened when she hugged him, and his face, which was covered in sunglasses, blended coldness and gentleness, finally turning into a look of doting affection.
