Soon after He's mother returned, He Ziqian called.
Fortunately, Yun Jin had told He's mother in advance: "He Ziqian called looking for you, but I told him you weren't home and asked him to call back later."
The phone rang, and when He's mother answered, she heard He Ziqian complaining: "Grandma, you finally answered the phone. I thought you didn't want me anymore. My aunt was too much. She hung up on me several times."
If Yun Jin hadn't told her beforehand, Mrs. He would almost have believed it: "Can't you speak properly? What do you mean you hung up several times? Didn't your aunt tell you I wasn't home?"
"Since I'm not home, why keep calling without hanging up? Is it a waste of your money or mine?" Mrs. He scolded, "Your aunt meant well, and you still think it's going too far? Don't be so ungrateful."
After being scolded, He Ziqian immediately became obedient: "Grandma, don't be angry. It was my fault. I misunderstood Auntie. I will apologize to Auntie when I get back."
Mrs. He snorted coldly and asked, "Do you need something from me?"
"Yes, Grandma, please help! Three thousand yuan isn't enough. We can do IVF, but the medical expenses are a bit high, around ten thousand yuan. Qianqian has already started the ovulation induction injections. We don't have enough money. Please help us, Grandma!"
Mrs. He guessed it was for money, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Upon hearing that it cost 10,000 yuan, Mrs. He frowned.
"Your grandfather and I have given you all our retirement savings, so we don't have any money on hand right now. Just wait, we'll think of something and get back to you in three days." Mrs. He was at her wits' end and didn't listen to He Ziqian before hanging up the phone.
Yun Jin knew immediately that she wanted money, so she said, "Mom, if you don't have enough money, I have some here. You can use it to tide you over. I'll order less stock from my shop."
"No need, no need, your father and I will think of a way. Keep your money for yourself." Looking at her thoughtful daughter-in-law, Mrs. He sighed, "Even in this situation, you still voluntarily lend money to that brat. That kid is so ungrateful."
Yun Jin thought to herself, "I just knew you had a secret stash of money, so I was being generous by asking to borrow some."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought it up.
Anyway, I gained fame and didn't spend any money, isn't that great?
Yun Jin smiled modestly.
Mother He prefers this younger daughter-in-law.
As for the 10,000 yuan fee that He Ziqian mentioned, He's parents discussed it for a while. He's mother dug up two more small yellow croakers and said to He's father, "If it weren't for my great-grandson, I wouldn't be willing to spend money on that woman."
Mr. He patted Mrs. He's hand: "I know you've sacrificed so much for this family. Thanks to you, after the baby is born, he won't give you any money, no matter how much he needs it."
That's what Mrs. He thought too.
He Ziqian, however, couldn't wait even three days.
The next day I received seven or eight phone calls, nothing more, just urging me to pay.
The four thousand yuan wouldn't have been spent so quickly, but they went to the port city, had a check-up at the hospital, paid the fees, and then started eating, drinking, playing, staying in high-end hotels, and enjoying themselves.
Later, when I needed money, I didn't have much money on me, so I had to call home for help.
He Ziqian knew that his grandparents would not refuse to give him the money, and he felt justified in doing so.
Mrs. He asked Yun Jin to accompany her to the gold shop on Saturday, saying she wanted to buy some small yellow croakers.
Yun Jin knew that He's mother was out of money and could only sell her old stock.
"Gold prices haven't skyrocketed yet," Yun Jin said. "Instead of giving it to a gold shop, Mom might as well give it to me. I'll take it."
"If you like it, Mom has two more pieces, you can have them." Mother He thought Yun Jin was reluctant to part with them and didn't want to add to Yun Jin's burden.
“Okay, Mom, buy one get one free, buy two get two free, and I’ll buy back at market price.” Yun Jin couldn’t possibly refuse such a lucrative opportunity.
Mrs. He, heartbroken at losing two gold bars: "......"
Shut your mouth!
And so, at the market price, He's mother bought Yun Jin a 250-gram gold bar and gave her another 250-gram gold bar as a gift. Yun Jin gave He's mother 15,000 yuan.
After discussing it for a while, the two exchanged five thousand Hong Kong dollars for He Ziqian and told him to go and collect the money.
He Ziqian went to the bank expecting to receive 10,000 yuan, but found out it was only 5,000 yuan, which he felt was too little.
Feng Qianqian advised, "Five thousand is five thousand, use it first, and we'll talk about it after the test tubes are approved."
He Ziqian nodded. They used half of the money to pay the fees, and spent the rest on eating, drinking, and having fun in Gangcheng, and also bought quite a few things.
Looking at the good things in the port city, Feng Qianqian had the idea of starting a business and asked He Ziqian, "What channels did Yun Jin use to import those motorcycles?"
He Ziqian asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Could we open a music and video store? Cassette tapes are very profitable these days. It would be great if we could open a store like that."
Upon hearing this, He Ziqian's eyes lit up.
He thought of Zhou Da and immediately went to find him.
Zhou Da was a little surprised to see He Ziqian, but after looking at Feng Qianqian next to him, he learned from her introduction that she was his wife.
Zhou Da asked politely, "Are you married?"
"Soon!" He Ziqian exchanged a few pleasantries and explained his purpose.
Zhou Da said, "This falls under the category of cultural and creative products, so it might be difficult to pass the approval process. If you really want to open a store like this, go back and apply to see if you can get approved. If you can, I can help you with the supply of goods."
He Ziqian seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, and immediately bought a plane ticket to go back, leaving Feng Qianqian in Hong Kong to continue receiving injections to promote ovulation.
Upon returning home, He Ziqian immediately approached his parents: "I want to open a shop. We've discovered a business opportunity. Grandpa, listen to this—young people love this nowadays."
When Yun Jin came home from school, she heard a familiar Cantonese song coming from her house. Without asking, she knew that He Ziqian must have brought it back.
