My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 214: Chapter 207: Making Big Money

“Yes,” Sisi nodded strenuously, “Mama said, Daddy went out to earn money for Sisi’s school fees. It’s hard for Daddy to earn money, Daddy works hard, Sisi thanks Daddy.”

What a smooth talker this little girl is, she knows just how to win everyone over with her words.

Zhijun was particularly fond of his daughter. He brought back clothes and toys from the south for her, a whole heap of them.

Seeing this, Xiangcao couldn’t help but sigh. “Don’t buy more clothes. Children grow quickly, these wonderful clothes will not fit in a year and new ones will have to be bought.”

“If they don’t fit, we’ll throw them away,” Zhijun, the doting father, said. “I work so hard to make money away from home just to ensure you and our daughter never have to worry about food or clothing. Otherwise, how could I bear to leave you and Sisi?”

“Don’t worry,” he said, holding Sisi in one arm and slinging the other around Xiangcao’s shoulders, “I’m doing really well outside, I’m not suffering. On a typical day, I can make this much,” he stretched out three fingers.

“Thirty?”

Upon hearing the amount, Xiangcao was shocked. But she was also thrilled. Thirty yuan a day meant a thousand a month. That was still much better than farming the fields, and without the back-breaking labor of farming. Each time she saw Zhijun’s hands freeze in the winter, or how he would sweat so much he would soak his clothes in the summer, her heart ached for him. However, Zhijun would never allow her to work in the fields. Tang Family women were genuinely blessed. Yuxin, Sisi, and her, none of them had to work out in the fields. The men of the Tang Family took care of everything.

“No,” Zhijun smiled, “Guess again.”

“It’s not thirty?” Xiangcao was a bit disappointed, but she was still pleased. “Three is fine, as long as it’s not too harsh. That’s still one hundred a month.”

“Pfft…” Zhijun couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s not three, nor thirty, and certainly not three hundred. It’s three thousand.”

“What?” Xiangcao’s mouth hung open and stayed like that for a while.

“Did you say three thousand?”

She held up three fingers, “Three thousand, how can it be three thousand?”

“Yes, precisely three thousand,” Zhijun put down Sisi to play with her elder sister Yuxin. He then brought Xiangcao into the house, her face was flaming red.

Waiting wasn’t what he had in mind, right?

In the end it wasn’t, Zhijun pulled out a bank book from his coat and put it on the table in front of Xiangcao.

“Here, you keep this. Each month when I come back, I will deposit money into this account. From now on, it will be your personal savings that you can spend as you wish.”

Xiangcao opened it to take a look, she was so terrified that she stayed frozen for a while.

How many zeroes are there?

My God, it’s sixty thousand, a full sixty thousand.

“It’s what I and my elder brother earned, a total of one hundred and twenty thousand. Sixty thousand each.”

Xiangcao was still shocked. “How can there be so much?”

“As much as it is,” Zhijun reminiscing about the speed at which they made money, his heart filled with apprehension. They held a lucky draw which caused a frenzy, everyone desperately trying to win the grand prize – a large color TV. But no one won the TV in the end, because there was no such prize.

In the end, they arranged for the large color TV to be transported back for their own use. And so, they had two televisions at home. Each of the two children had one and Xiangcao had one. No more fighting with the children over the television.

Meanwhile, in another room, Zhinian handed Yuxin a bank book, “Yuxin, this is our family’s money. You take care of it.”

There was no wife in Zhinian’s family, but he had a daughter. Yuxin took the bank book, sixty thousand yuan.

Although she was much calmer than Xiangcao, she was still taken aback.

“Dad, that’s a lot, isn’t it?”

She knew business was good and money was flowing. But she couldn’t believe they picked up gold so easily. Could it be because of gold dumped on the streets of the south, as long as you walked over, you could pick it up?

“Yes, and there will be more in the future,” Zhinian was confident about this. He had mastered the art of selling. At least one day, it was impossible to sell less than five hundred yuan. Given the current market trends, even if it was not selling here, they could relocate to other places. They would never fail to make money.

“Then, Dad,” Yuxin thought for a moment, clutching the bank book tighter, “Could I have a house in Beijing?”

“A house in Beijing?” Zhinian stroked his daughter’s hair, “What made you think about wanting a house in Beijing?”

“Because I’m going to study at a university in Beijing,” Yuxin gave a logical reason. She wanted to choose the best medical school, and Beijing Medical College was her only choice. Considering her current academic performance, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to get admitted, so she wasn’t worried about getting in at all.

“Okay,” Zhinian agreed without a second thought, “When you’re on vacation, Dad will take you to Beijing to buy a house.”

Yuxin actually wanted to go now, but she was still in school. She had more than a month to go until the holiday, and it seemed a bit hard to endure. The house prices over there should be very low now. Even if it was an old one, it didn’t matter. After high-rises were built later, they would get paid in compensation. Of course, if they could buy the traditional courtyard houses, it would be the best. Those courtyard houses could be considered as cultural heritage in the future, and if they decided to sell, they could make a lot of money.

Regarding the subsequent housing prices of nearly a hundred thousand per square meter, owning a courtyard is a dream that many people could only imagine.

Through their father’s connections, Zhinian and his brother installed a phone for their home, making it much more convenient to call their family in the future.

They spent a few days at home and then took the train to leave again. Every extra day they stayed at home was a day of lost earnings. That one day’s earnings were no small sum, it might even amount to several thousand yuan.

On this trip, they changed to a different location. They were now familiar with the tape wholesaler who they visited regularly. The wholesaler would even deliver their orders.

At present, they were active within a city in the south. It would probably take them about half a year to sell out their stock. After that, they would move on to other provinces.
