Qin Zhiya screamed, extremely scared, not knowing what to do.
Yu You's heart skipped a beat. Her father-in-law's illness was progressing too quickly and was getting worse. He couldn't delay any longer.
People quickly gathered around, but no one dared to get close and kept talking.
"Qin Wei's body is ruined. He's even vomiting blood. I'm afraid he won't live long!"
"Who says it's not? He's been coughing for half a year now, it must be tuberculosis."
"Why don't you take him to the hospital?"
"That doesn't cost money, right? Besides, medicines are in short supply in hospitals right now. You can't get good medicine without connections."
"But Yuerong's eyesight is also failing. How will the Qin family survive in the future?"
…
Wang Yuerong was so anxious that she felt weak and was about to collapse. Yu You was quick to help her.
"Mom, don't worry. We don't have medicine here because it's a small place. But maybe there's some in the city. I'll go with my parents tomorrow to buy medicine for my dad."
Yu You winked at her mother.
Cao Xiu reacted: "Yes, yes, in-laws, we will go to the city tomorrow. We will find the medicine to treat the disease no matter what."
Wang Yuerong held her daughter-in-law's hand tightly, and her soft body regained some strength.
Yu You asked Qin Wei and Wang Yuerong to go back and rest, and the rest of the people were busy until the afternoon before they finished watering the land they were responsible for.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhiheng, who was in the black market, encountered a big deal. He didn't know about the changes at home until he returned home in the evening.
"Give!"
Yu You saw Qin Zhiheng handing over a small wooden box that looked very old, and reached out to take it.
"For me? What?"
Yu You opened it as she spoke. The golden contents inside almost blinded her.
"Small yellow croaker? So many? Give it to me?" Yu You exclaimed in a low voice.
"Don't you like gold? Or melt these into a gold brick?"
"No, no, no! That's all, that's all!"
The boss is really a boss. In just a few days, he has earned a box of gold.
Yu You didn't know how other wives would react to receiving such a gift, but it was undeniable that she was delighted at that moment.
"You are truly the best man in the world. Don't worry, I will take good care of these things."
Qin Zhiheng coughed uncomfortably: "I'll give you the money I earn from now on, and you'll be in charge of the family affairs!"
Does this mean handing over financial power?
This man can handle it!
Yu You became even happier, and the smile on his face looked like a flower blooming.
The next day, the family of three went to the city.
There was a textile factory in the city. After buying plastic sheeting and nylon rope, the three decided to try their luck.
Yu Weimin took out a box of cigarettes and stuffed it into the guard's pocket.
"Uncle, we want to buy some cloth without a ticket. Is there any way to do that?"
It’s a debt of gratitude, explained the security guard, looking at the tattered clothes worn by the family of three.
"The cloth in the factory is all made to order, so good cloth is definitely not available. We do have defective cloth that has been dyed badly, but we only sell it to acquaintances, and we sell it in bulk. You have to buy at least one piece at a time."
Cao Xiu calculated silently in her mind: a bolt of cloth was about thirty-three meters long. Good cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative was one dollar and twenty-one meters long; defective cloth was definitely cheaper.
Besides, there are many people in the family and the clothes are all tattered. Let alone one, we can use several.
Cao Xiu was a businessman in modern times, so he was naturally skillful in speaking.
"There are so many people at home, and I'm afraid one piece of cloth won't be enough. Uncle, you see, we are so closely related, how familiar we are! Otherwise, could you show me the way?"
The old man saw that the three people were really planning to buy. The cloth in the factory was all priced, so it didn't matter who he sold it to.
Pointing to the back door.
"Go to the small door at the back of the factory and knock on it. Say you're a relative of Yang Shun. Niu Qiang, who's guarding the warehouse, is my nephew. Ask him to get it for you."
A few people thanked him and hurried to the back door.
Niu Qiang first took out a piece of the most fashionable Dacron.
"This is the best. The machine had a problem and there were some cracks, but it's perfectly usable after I cut it. 80 cents a meter, 26 per piece."
Dacron is not breathable, so Cao Xiu dislikes it.
"Master Niu, anything else?"
Niu Qiang saw that the clothes the three people were wearing were patched up and thought they were too expensive, so he went in and got two cheaper ones.
One bolt of dark blue cotton and one bolt of grey muslin.
"These two pieces are made of pure cotton. The blue one is thicker, but it got stained with some motor oil during production. Ten yuan a batch."
"The gray is thin. The dye isn't mixed properly. Some are darker and some are lighter. If you want it, take it for eight dollars."
"We have some floral cloth, but it's at least eighteen or nineteen pieces. I'll get it if you want."
Cao Xiu quickly stopped the man and took the two pieces of cloth without hesitation.
She really didn't like the colorful fabrics nowadays. Besides, her daughter's family lived in a cowshed, so it wasn't appropriate for her to wear something too flashy.
After paying the money, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few axis lines. The three of them found a deserted place and slipped into the space.
Cao Xiu asked, "Girl, what's with the box of gold bars on the sofa?"
Yu You said arrogantly: "Qin Zhiheng gave it to me, saying that I will be the one to make the decisions about future family matters!"
Yu Weimin praised: "This kid is good, he has the style of your father and me."
Although Qin Zhiheng was a bit cold, his behavior was faultless. Cao Xiu felt relieved.
Yu You began to rummage through her medicine box.
She always has the habit of bringing medicine with her whenever she goes out for a trip. When buying medicine, she has no idea what to do, so she asks the pharmacist for all kinds of anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs.
As a result, I guessed that the girl selling medicine was on commission, so I got her seventeen or eighteen kinds of medicine at once, spending three hundred dollars!
