Chapter 60 Nobody turns down money.
When Mu Xiaowan left the hospital, she saw Chu Shaoze carrying some things in a hurry, probably going to find An Muxue.
Mu Xiaowan was busy going to the shop and didn't have the time or inclination to be curious about their affairs.
It's only a matter of time before these two get married.
If An Muxue hadn't been so fixated on Chu Junbai and refused to budge, the two of them would definitely have settled the marriage before the new year.
The thought of getting married and seeing each other all the time made Mu Xiaowan feel uneasy.
We should hurry up and get the shop sorted out, so she'll have a peaceful place to hide away.
It doesn't matter whether Chu Junbai applies for a house or not.
Mu Xiaowan didn't take the bus on her way to the shop; she wanted to see how everyone else did it.
All she knew was that there was a hardware store that sourced most of its products directly from manufacturers, taking only what it could sell, and returning any unsold items, so there was no inventory buildup.
In this day and age, Mu Xiaowan really didn't know what to sell.
She needs to go and take another look, to learn more.
But we rarely saw any general stores along the way. This is because many daily necessities can be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives, and people are used to going there.
During the years when supply and marketing cooperatives were cracking down on individual businesses, they were the dominant force, selling a wide variety of goods, so people preferred to shop at them.
Mu Xiaowan decided to go and take a look at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative is always crowded. With the Chinese New Year approaching, many people will buy New Year's goods in advance.
There were many people at each category counter.
Mu Xiaowan glanced at each of the categorized counters.
I never expected that the supply and marketing cooperative had everything.
It's practically the biggest general store ever!
However, this is not what she wanted.
After all, the supply and marketing cooperative sells everything from clothes to shoes, so of course she wouldn't mix them in.
The shelves for daily necessities were filled with washbasins, thermos flasks, and even screws.
Some people even buy fuses.
Upon seeing the fuse, Mu Xiaowan thought of the frequent power outages in the city, where lights would either flicker or go out during peak evening electricity usage.
The shop must always have electricity, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted if you're not careful.
She needs to get a small generator.
I wonder if generators existed in this era? Even if they did, they were probably the noisy kind.
Mu Xiaowan asked about the prices of several items, and left after receiving an impatient look from the sales clerk.
……
A few days later, as soon as Mu Xiaowan entered the hospital, she heard the nurses gossiping.
"Hey, did you know? He Yongsheng, the impotent guy in the ICU, actually got a marriage certificate with Ge Qingran from the pharmacy. You have to admit, Ge Qingran is really unlucky. Her husband turned into this right after they got married."
"That's right. It's been several days, and her condition hasn't improved. I heard from the doctor that she's probably beyond saving."
"Really? Do you think Ge Qingran will divorce him again? I heard they've been together for over a year, and He Yongsheng is incredibly good to Ge Qingran. He'd practically pluck the stars from the sky for her."
"That's right. You guys came in late and don't know, but we do. He Yongsheng is really good to Ge Qingran. Whenever he has time, he goes out of his way to serve Ge Qingran. We are quite envious."
"Who would have thought it would turn out like this? They had already sent out invitations and were planning to get married in the next couple of days, but now the wedding has been postponed."
"I saw Ge Qingran's father come today, looking furious. Ge Qingran was terrified; I saw her come out of the ward crying. Judging from this trend, it's probably over."
Another nurse, in her thirties, with a gossipy look on her face, asked, "Hey, do you guys know why He Yongsheng ended up like this?"
A group of people shook their heads.
All they knew was that Ge Qingran and He Yongsheng had gotten their marriage certificate and were living together; they had no idea why the person had turned out this way.
"According to rumors, he fell in love with someone else and took a fancy to another girl. He tried to force himself on her, but she was also strong-willed and killed him. This He Yongsheng is not as devoted as you all say."
Mu Xiaowan slowed her pace.
Yesterday, when she couldn't find He Yongsheng's ward, she casually asked the nurse Ge Qingran which ward her husband was in.
Unexpectedly, the nurses "actually" spread the word.
That's good, the speed of transmission is acceptable.
Mu Xiaowan could have easily asked Ge Qingran for the money, but if she asked Ge Qingran herself, it would inevitably lead to a dispute, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
If He Yongsheng were to bring it up, it would inevitably escalate the conflict between him and Ge Qingran. That's what makes it exciting.
When An Muxue came out of the pharmacy and saw Mu Xiaowan, she thought she was seeing things.
After following for a few steps, I realized it really was Mu Xiaowan.
An Muxue remained silent and followed until she saw Mu Xiaowan enter He Yongsheng's room.
She immediately turned around and went to find Ge Qingran.
That bitch is really bold. She beat He Yongsheng up like this and still dares to swagger into the hospital.
Is she just taking advantage of her good looks?
Today I'll definitely get Ge Qingran to help her vent her anger.
Mu Xiaowan is in the hospital room.
He Yongsheng saw Mu Xiaowan and gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
Mu Xiaowan is like a venomous snake; whoever she entangles will not survive.
In order to get rid of this trouble, he had no choice but to swindle eight hundred yuan from Ge Qingran.
He Yongsheng pulled out a stack of ten-yuan bills from under his pillow and tossed them into the air.
The fluttering snowflakes of unity fell all over the ground.
He looked like an arrogant young master giving alms to a beggar.
"That's all I have. If you think it's not enough, then kill me. Anyway, I'm a cripple now."
Mu Xiaowan looked at the large pile of 100-yuan bills scattered on the ground.
Trying to be tough with her? If I really wanted to die, I wouldn't let her control me.
She rubbed her fingers together.
Did you intend to humiliate her?
joke!
She shook her right arm and said calmly, "He Yongsheng, you're the one who needs my help. If you're acting like this, it makes me think you're unwilling. In that case, forget it. The doctor said I can't do heavy work with this arm."
Mu Xiaowan didn't even glance at the money before turning to leave.
Seeing that she was really going to leave, He Yongsheng gritted his teeth and stopped her.
"I accidentally spilled some money just now, I'll pick it up now."
Last night, the police came to see him, and he secretly asked how he would be sentenced.
The police said that if the victim pursues the matter, two or three years in prison would be the least they could do.
The point isn't how many years, but that he doesn't want to sit for even a single day.
He's worked so hard for so many years, he can't let it all go to waste.
He had to get Mu Xiaowan to drop the case.
He Yongsheng now understood that Mu Xiaowan just wanted money from her.
She should keep her word as long as you pay her.
He Yongsheng even suspected that Mu Xiaowan had deliberately framed him in the office, just to make him obediently hand over the money.
He also understood that Mu Xiaowan had never lied to him; she truly didn't care about him.
Indeed, with someone as outstanding as Chu Junbai around, this scoundrel naturally turned his attention away.
He should have seen things clearly sooner; then he wouldn't have suffered this unexpected disaster.
He Yongsheng got up and left the bed, picking up the money as it had been scattered, a sense of humiliation rising from every part of his body.
Once he recovers, I will definitely kill that bitch.
After accepting the money, Mu Xiaowan took a few steps back to maintain a safe distance from He Yongsheng.
Mu Xiaowan thought she would only get four or five hundred yuan today, but she didn't expect to get 800 yuan. She quickly put it into her bag.
"Get the remaining 200 ready as soon as possible; I don't have much patience."
He Yongsheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he wanted to drink Mu Xiaowan's blood. "Mu Xiaowan, I hope you keep your word."
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.
