CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: BECOMING A TEN-THOUSAND-YUAN HOUSEHOLD AGAIN

By the time it was past three in the afternoon, the application for item retrieval resounded in my mind.

Bai Ruxue quickly agreed to the application and curiously looked at what Zhang Yuan had taken out.

At a glance, he had actually taken away the sample beds from the supermarket space, a total of five sample beds, all taken out by him!

Along with them, he took out the mattresses, bedding, kitchen utensils, pots, dishes, and a gas stove with a gas tank.

Bai Ruxue thought if the supermarket had home furnishings, Zhang Yuan certainly wouldn’t let those go either.

As it was almost dark, Zhang Yuan came by to pick them up.

"Xiao Xue! Let’s go! I’ve already spoken to the doctor; they’ll provide home visits every day!" Zhang Yuan said as soon as he entered the ward.

"Are we leaving now? Walking back?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"Yes! It’s not far from here, just wrap Xiao Feng up well, and I’ll hold him!" Zhang Yuan said as he stepped forward to help pack things up.

The two of them tidied up, and Bai Ruxue wrapped up her brother carefully, then took out ten boxes of fragrance from the space and left them for Nurse Xiao Lan as they left.

Nurse Xiao Lan was very puzzled. The child wasn’t fully recovered, so why were they being discharged?

Later, she learned from the doctor that the child was going home for treatment and that she had to make home visits daily to treat the child.

She was shocked because Doctor Liu had never been so agreeable.

Just because the patient said the ward was cold and they feared a second cold, Doctor Liu agreed to a home service? This was shocking; these two people must have substantial capabilities.

She quickly stored away those ten boxes of fragrance and made a request to Doctor Liu:

"Doctor Liu! Let me go to give the child injections every day!"

"You?" Doctor Liu originally wanted to visit personally to give the child injections, hoping the other side might offer some good items in return.

Because in the afternoon, that male comrade approached her saying they wanted home treatment, and besides requesting daily house visits for injections and check-ups, they also offered ten pounds of rice.

She was thrilled; it’s rare to have the chance to eat fine grains throughout the year. In just two days, someone gifted her fifteen pounds of fine grains—how could she not be excited? She would agree to whatever was asked.

All her daughters came over, and this could give them two meals with fine grains, which they wouldn’t get a few times a year! Naturally, she’d bring out whatever good things she had.

"Director Liu! I like that child very much; please let me go! I’m quite worried about them after they’re discharged!" Nurse Xiao Lan pleaded.

Director Liu didn’t know about her buying fragrance from Bai Ruxue, so he agreed. As for himself, he’d just visit daily to check on the child’s recovery!

Bai Ruxue and Zhang Yuan returned to the small western-style building with the child. As soon as Bai Ruxue entered the yard, she loved the place.

The small western-style building had a two-story design, with a large yard and three tiled rooms in the front yard, yet it didn’t look cramped at all. The backyard had a vegetable garden, and the yard was enclosed by tall brick walls, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

The entrance gate was a big iron gate. Once the heavy iron gate was closed, the yard became its own little world.

Bai Ruxue kept looking around carefully, while Zhang Yuan followed behind her, holding Xiao Feng and smiling silently.

He believed that once Xiao Xue entered the small western-style building, it would surely be an eye-opener for her.

As he predicted, as soon as Bai Ruxue pushed open the door of the small western-style building, she exclaimed.

"Wow... Isn’t this just beautiful?" she cried out and ran inside.

Upon entering, the first thing on the first floor was a big living room, furnished with large European-style sofas, along with a coffee table, simple but elegant, with ample space, giving an illusion of foreign style.

Behind the sofa was a big wine cabinet, matching the sofa in color and material, with the same handcrafted carvings, enclosed in glass, perfect for storing fine wines.

Inside, there was a separate kitchen and dining area, with an open layout between the kitchen and the dining room. The space was quite large.

In the dining room, there was a large rotating solid wood table, also part of the sofa set, and the chairs looked particularly elegant.

It perfectly matched Bai Ruxue’s style—simple and elegant without too many partitions.

Upstairs, on the second floor, there were four rooms, each furnished with a large bed from the supermarket and the mattresses on the beds were soft and comfortable.

Bai Ruxue noticed that each room also had a wardrobe matching the sofa set.

"Zhang Yuan, aside from the beds, is all the other furniture in this house complete?" Bai Ruxue asked out of curiosity.

"There were beds too, but they weren’t as comfortable as the ones from your place, so I had them moved out and put in the tiled rooms in the yard, and the extras were moved to the courtyard!" Zhang Yuan placed Xiao Feng into the soft quilt; the little guy was sleeping soundly.

No wonder, he took out five big beds from the supermarket, and there were only four rooms here!

Bai Ruxue thought they might also have been moved to the courtyard or the tiled rooms.

"Oh, this place is so lovely! It’s just my favorite style! I absolutely love it!" Bai Ruxue was so happy she could almost spin in circles.

Not to mention how much I like it, but just this yard, this small western-style building, would easily start from two million, especially since Chenxi County is just a county town; if it were in a big city, its price would be unimaginable!

Now purchasing it only cost six thousand eight hundred. A real bargain.

"Zhang Yuan, have you prepared the courtyard too?" Bai Ruxue asked, loving everything here.

The rooms upstairs were quite large, each equipped with a large bed two meters by two meters and three, along with a wardrobe, and there was even a sofa beside each bed! Every room was the same! The only difference being the beds.

Because they were sample beds from the supermarket, although the sizes were the same since she specifically selected five different styles when purchasing the sample beds, they were all the same size.

This way, the effect of displaying bedding turned out better!

"Not yet! I didn’t have time! I only managed to prepare here! I spent six bucks hiring three people to do the work! They also prepared the three tiled rooms in the courtyard! There’s only two bedrooms in total! One bedroom has a heated brick bed, and I put a bed in the other bedroom, with four beds from here moved to the courtyard!"

"Oh, okay! I’ll go make dinner for you! To treat you well!" Bai Ruxue glanced at her brother; before leaving the hospital, her brother had had some formula, and he was now adorably sleeping.

She cheerfully started to head downstairs.

"Xiao Xue..." Zhang Yuan called after her.

"Huh? What is it?" Bai Ruxue turned back, puzzlingly.

"I promised the original owner of this house to get him a thousand pounds of grain, and then he’d leave the furnishings for us!" Zhang Yuan finished speaking while cautiously observing Bai Ruxue’s expression, fearing she’d flip and get angry.

"A thousand pounds?" Bai Ruxue repeated.

It wasn’t like she couldn’t provide it. Tomorrow her supermarket would automatically replenish supplies.

"Yes! But he’ll calculate the price for us according to the black market price!" Zhang Yuan immediately added.

"Fine!" Bai Ruxue promptly uttered a single word.

"He wants fine grains!" Zhang Yuan laid out the conditions one by one, fearing Bai Ruxue would be upset.

"Give him rice then!" Bai Ruxue indifferently said, waving her hand, "Another fifteen hundred dollars in the account!" and quickly became cheerful again.

Originally, her assets totaled seventeen thousand five, but buying two sets of houses in one go cost her nine thousand one!

She was just grieving over it, and now fifteen hundred recouped made her nearly back to ten thousand. She was still a ten-thousand-yuan household and hadn’t spent recklessly!

Moreover, just these two sets of houses could support her in old age in the future.

Exchanging nine thousand bucks for several million, she didn’t feel she lost out at all.
