Chapter 54: It really cost me my old life

Although Liu Mu didn't quite agree, she didn't want her daughter to suffer with her in the hospital, so she could only harden her heart: "You decide."

Liu Chuxue drank the water in the coarse porcelain bowl, tidied up, and prepared to go out to handle things.

Just as she reached the door of the ward, she saw the husband of the beautiful woman from before walk in carrying a bag. He looked coldly at the man in the bed near the door, and after handing out the bag in his hand, he handed out two receipts with his other hand: "One is the receipt for buying fabric at the Friendship Store, and the other is the receipt for the processing fee and auxiliary materials at the state-run tailor shop. Together, it’s forty-eight yuan and sixty cents."

These words directly made the man called Geng Ernian's face turn black. As a fourth-level fitter, his monthly salary was fifty-two yuan and nine cents. Even if he paid according to the receipt, he wouldn't have a few yuan left of his monthly salary, not to mention that he had boasted that he would pay double. It really cost him his old life.

But in front of so many people, he couldn't go back on his word, so he probed: "Comrade, no one can wear this dress if I take it back. Look, how about this? I’ll have my family wash the dress, dry it, and send it to Vice Factory Director Gu, and then pay another amount according to the amount on the receipt, just to calm the female comrade."

The man didn't respond, but put the bag on the hospital bed: "You just pay according to the receipt. No need to pay double. Since we took the money, the dress is yours. How to deal with it is your right. We won't interfere."

How could he not see that this man still wanted to use this dress to climb up to his brother-in-law? He was really thinking beautifully.

Not to mention, Geng Ernian was thinking exactly that, but unfortunately, people wouldn't give him the chance.

Liu Chuxue didn't stay to watch the fun anymore. Just looking at the identities of those people, as long as Geng Ernian was a smart person, he wouldn't dare to drag it out.

She walked quickly out of the hospital, took her introduction letter, and went to the state-run guesthouse opposite: "Big sister, are there any rooms left?"

The big sister was busy with needlework and didn't even lift her head: "Staying in a single room or a large dormitory?"

Liu Chuxue didn't even think: "Single room."

The big sister continued: "The ordinary single room on the first floor is eighty cents a night, and the one upstairs is one yuan a night. Which one are you staying in?"

Anyway, with the space as a backup, she didn't hesitate: "I want the one upstairs."

The big sister stopped her needlework this time: "Bring the introduction letter to register."

Liu Chuxue handed over the introduction letter, and the big sister glanced at it: "Yo, you’re from Liushu Village?"

Liu Chuxue was a bit surprised: "Big sister knows Liushu Village?"

The big sister's attitude improved quite a bit: "My second brother-in-law is from Gezhuang next to you. A few years ago, when his mother was sick, I accompanied my family there once."

After registering the information, the big sister handed back the introduction letter and kindly reminded her: "Keep it safe. If you lose it while away from home, it will be troublesome."

Liu Chuxue thanked her and directly used her pocket as cover to put the things into the space study.

Then she heard the big sister continue to ask: "How many nights?"

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment: "Sister, register us for three nights first. If needed, I’ll renew the fee."

She had other uses for the money in her hand, so she didn't dare to pay for more than ten days of room rent at once. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

After arranging this, she hurried back to the hospital.

Liu Mu saw her walk in: "Xue, how was it?"

Liu Chuxue nodded at her: "Opened for three days first, we’ll see how it goes."

Hearing three days, Liu Mu could accept it in her heart, thinking that after three days, her man's situation should be stable. If there were no special circumstances, she would let her second daughter go back to school for class. Mainly, she was also worried about her younger daughter at home.
