Chapter 387 The Awkward Future Entrepreneur
“You are—Jiang ngyu?” His voice carried a hesitation, as he truly couldn’t believe that the small, skinny, and dark little girl would turn into the fairy-like noble lady before him.
ngyu smiled: “Yes, it’s !”
“Are you really ngyu? How is that possible? How did you grow so tall, so much, so—” The word “beautiful” was on the tip of Ah Xin’s tongue, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Due to chronic malnutrition, Ah Xin, who was skinny and small, looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but in reality, he was already sixteen.
Seeing the little girl who used to scavenge trash with him transform into a fairy, how could he dare to believe it?
“It really is ngyu.” Ah Xin stared at ngyu in disbelief: “Did you get rich?” Then he imdiately added: “How did getting rich make you grow taller? Is it because you’ve been eating well?”
He really wanted to grow taller, but being only 1.6 ters at the age of sixteen, what could he do if he couldn’t grow taller?
“You will grow taller,” ngyu comforted him. However, it wasn’t just an empty comfort, because, as Ah Piao in her previous life, she had seen him being interviewed on TV, and by her estimation, he was at least 1.75 ters tall.
A few people arrived at the hospital, and after examining the girl, the doctor started scolding: “Why did you wait until now to bring her in? Don’t you know this child already has pneumonia? Go complete the hospitalization procedures, and pay a deposit of two hundred yuan.”
“What, pneumonia?” Ah Xin was shocked.
For all of them, when they fell ill or had a fever, they would just buy so cold dicine or fever-reducing drugs and get better – so why did it have to escalate into pneumonia for the little sister?
He looked at ngyu with a troubled face.
ngyu took out the money and gave it to Xiao Hua, who without another word, went to complete the hospitalization procedures.
After the doctor prescribed the dication, he instructed the nurses to give Ah Chou an IV drip, and then he walked away.
Ah Xin stressed: “Consider it a loan, I will definitely pay you back.”
But ngyu asked him: “Who is this girl to you?”
Ah Xin was taken aback: She was just Ah Jun’s little sister who collected trash with him, how was she related to him?
ngyu chuckled: “Since she’s not related to you, why are you taking responsibility? Are you very wealthy?”
Ah Xin indignantly said: “I will earn a lot of money in the future!”
ngyu found it amusing: “But that’s in the future. You don’t have money now, right? So why are you competing with to pay?”
Ah Xin wanted to say more, but ngyu interrupted him: “Stop arguing about money with , I still have a favor to ask you.”
“What is it?” Ah Xin perked up imdiately.
“I rember there were about a dozen kids who collected and sold trash with you, right?”
“Yeah, they all went out to look for things. Today, because Ah Chou was sick, I was figuring out how to take her to the hospital when you guys ca.” He then asked: “What do you need us to do?”
ngyu briefly explained her situation to him: “So, now I need people to keep an eye on Jiang Huaiyu, and tell imdiately if there’s any news. I’ll send you three hundred jin of rice every month.”
Since food hadn’t yet been liberalized, giving them money didn’t guarantee they could buy rice. That’s why ngyu offered them rice instead.
A move stirred in Ah Xin’s heart: “Okay.” The black market price of rice was a little over 30 cents per jin, and three hundred jin a month was equivalent to one hundred yuan.
Collecting trash and selling it, they were not guaranteed to get so much rice in a month.
And these half-grown lads had big appetites, like himself; if allowed to eat his fill, he could consu one jin of rice in a single al!
He had always been half-starved.
If he could get those three hundred jin of rice, plus the money from selling trash, he would be able to have a full stomach.
