After lunch break, Zhou Da came to find them.
He was also carrying a black briefcase.
Upon seeing them, he immediately ushered them into the car and took out the banknotes from his briefcase: "This is the money I exchanged. You can calculate it. The market price is good today. Two catties of gold have been exchanged for this much money."
Yun Jin did the math and made sure everything was okay: "Thank you, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"You're too kind," Zhou Da said. "With this money, the medical expenses will be covered."
Yun Jin nodded. Two catties of gold could be exchanged for HK$109,000. After deducting HK$35,000 for medical expenses, there would still be HK$74,000 left.
Even if further treatment costs money, we should be able to afford it.
As a result, Yun Jin is not short of money now.
He Tingchuan now knew exactly how much he needed for medical expenses.
Upon hearing the price of 35,000, he frowned, not daring to express his opinion for fear of upsetting his wife.
He Ziqian clicked his tongue in surprise; the medical expenses were so expensive.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, it would take him ten years to earn back his current salary.
However, compared to his uncle's eyesight, this amount of money was nothing.
Yun Jin took the bill and paid it readily. The staff member who received her raised an eyebrow, thinking they might give up on treatment, but who knew they would raise enough money so quickly.
She underestimated this northern girl.
They seem to have some ability.
After successfully paying, Yun Jin kept the receipt and left the hotel's phone number. If the medicine arrived, someone would call them to notify them to come to the hospital for treatment.
During this period, tell them not to change hotels, so that we can contact them.
Yun Jin indicated that she understood.
She still had nearly 80,000 yuan in cash on her, and Yun Jin asked Zhou Da, "Could you take us to the racetrack?"
Zhou Da raised an eyebrow: "You know about horse racing?"
Yun Jin nodded: "I saw it on TV and in the newspapers. It says there's a horse race in three days."
Zhou Da advised, "Gambling is risky, you'd better not gamble."
Yun Jin nodded and said, "I know, I'll just look and won't buy too much."
Seeing that she was eager to try, Zhou Da offered a few more words of advice and then looked at He Ziqian.
He Ziqian received the signal and then tried to persuade her: "Auntie, gambling is really bad. It's impossible to get rich overnight. We don't know anyone here, and Uncle needs to have his eyes checked. It's better to keep the money in your hands."
Before Yun Jin could speak, He Tingchuan said, "Listen to your aunt, as long as she's happy."
Yun Jin squeezed He Tingchuan's large hand, knowing that he would support her unconditionally.
He Tingchuan sensed her subtle movement and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He Ziqian glared: "Uncle, just keep spoiling him!"
He Tingchuan nodded: "Mm!"
It's not his duty to spoil his wife.
He Ziqian: "......"
I'm so annoyed! My uncle is such a henpecked husband.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Zhou Da could only drive them to the racetrack to take a look.
There are small competitions every week, and a big competition every month.
The Summer Grand Prix, held three days later, is an international horse race with high stakes, attracting many horse racing enthusiasts.
There really are people who can make money.
Most of them were just unlucky; many people lost their bets and jumped off buildings.
Zhou Da never expected that they would be influenced by the gambling atmosphere here after only two days.
Sure enough, capitalists are harmful!
After looking around, Yun Jin decided not to place a bet.
She glanced at the competition rules and the horses to be raced three days later, studied them carefully for a while, looked at the information board for half an hour, and after deciding on the numbers she wanted to bet on, she said she could leave.
He Ziqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she hadn't placed a bet.
Zhou Da tentatively asked, "Do you have any favorite numbers?"
Yun Jin nodded: "We'll come back in three days, and then we'll take a taxi ourselves."
“No need to take a taxi, I have time to pick you up and drop you off.” Zhou Da’s task was to prevent them from coming into contact with other people.
Especially He Tingchuan.
It was called hospitality, but it was actually surveillance.
Given He Tingchuan's status, if his father requested to go abroad for treatment, there would be no opportunity for him to leave the country.
Yun Jin knew Zhou Da's purpose in receiving her, so she didn't say anything and could only trouble him.
With time to spare before dinner, Yun Jin noticed that many passersby were staring at them with unfriendly and disdainful looks. Yun Jin glanced at their outfits and knew they didn't fit the local aesthetic.
Yun Jin hadn't been in the mood to change clothes before, but now that the medical expenses had been settled and there was hope for He Tingchuan's eye treatment, she felt relieved and started to dress up.
"Could you please take us to the clothing market? We want to buy a few outfits so we don't get stared at like monkeys." After all, they'll be here for more than a week, and they can't be watched every day.
Zhou Da agreed, and he also noticed the strange looks from the others.
People here look down on people from mainland China.
They have been colonized for too long and have forgotten their roots.
Considering their limited funds, Zhou Da drove them to places where ordinary people buy clothes. Those trendy shopping malls and plazas were beyond their reach; they were all international brands, with a single item costing tens of thousands of yuan, which he couldn't afford.
When they arrived at the street lined with affordable clothing stores, Yun Jin's eyes lit up as she looked at the rows of small shops.
These outfits have a very vintage feel, and you can't go wrong with any of them.
Yun Jin's desire to buy surged, and seeing that most of the stores were women's clothing stores, she immediately bought her clothes.
She rejected the low-cut halter top.
She didn't even glance at the short skirt that barely covered her hips.
The outfits chosen were relatively conservative: shirts, jeans, T-shirts, short-sleeved shirts, and trousers. They looked fashionable and stylish. If she had a perm, she would definitely look like a Hong Kong beauty.
When Yun Jin appeared after changing her clothes, He Ziqian and Zhou Da were both stunned.
