Chapter 819: Buying A Fruit Basket. She Saved Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before they arrived at the Longmen City People’s Hospital, Yun Jian stopped at a fruit vendor nearby.
“Young lady, what would you like?” The shopkeeper who saw business coming to his door hurried out to ask.
Seeing that Yun Jian scanned his stall seeming to be in a dilemma of which fruit to buy, the shopkeeper was sharp and tactful in his business ways; he pointed to a fruit basket a little farther from them and recommended, “Young lady, if you have no idea what to give, why not get a fruit basket? It has various fruits inside, there’ll be something people like!”
The shopkeeper was shrewd as he was able to see that Yun Jian was getting the fruits as a present in just one glance.
“Mn.” Yun Jian pressed her lips together before taking the fruit basket.
“It’s 28 yuan in total,” the shopkeeper said, rubbing his hands.
Living expenses in this era were relatively lower, so a 28-yuan fruit basket was considered rather expensive.
Before Yun Jian could pull out any money, Si Yi had already fished out a bank card from his pants pocket to pa.s.s to the shopkeeper. “Paying by card.”
“Uh…” The shopkeeper was flummoxed by the card Si Yi handed him before he caught himself back quickly and plastered a smile. “Young man, we don’t take cards. Do you… have cash?”
The shopkeeper sounded awkward when he asked.
“I do.” Yun Jian swept a glance at the shopkeeper with a smile before pulling out a 100-yuan bill from her pants pocket.
“Here you go.” She pa.s.sed it to the man.
“Um…” Staring at the 100-yuan bill, the shopkeeper felt faint. He did not think that the loose change he had around the stall was enough give to the girl.
“Hold on, I’ll go to the opposite stall to get some change,” the shopkeeper said and was about to head to the stall opposite of his to see if the owner there could spare him some change.
“No need,” Yun Jian replied.
“Huh?” The shopkeeper was positively dumbstruck by what Yun Jian said. Did she have a smaller change? That was the man’s first thought.
“Keep the change,” Yun Jian clarified instantly.
Then, she headed down the path to the hospital with Si Yi.
It stupefied the shopkeeper. The change would be able to buy three or four more fruit baskets but they did not want it… The young couple was really generous!
The shopkeeper shook his head weakly although he was surprised before he sighed about how he had made a high profit deal today.
…
In a hurry to visit Chen Xinyi in the hospital, Yun Jian’s strides were large. However, one step from Si Yi’s long legs could cover two steps from Yun Jian, so she sped up even more.
When they came to Chen Xinyi’s ward, they could see many people standing inside as they looked from the outside.
With what happened to the girl, there was no doubt that these were her family and relatives.
Yun Jian and Si Yi headed inside anyway. Just as Yun Jian entered, she saw Chen Xinyi who had woken up being fed chicken soup by a woman who looked young and slim.
Chen Xinyi looked a little weak but she had recovered rather visibly. When she saw Yun Jian coming in, she was quick to call her, “Jianjian, you’re here!”
She was not loud but Yun Jian heard her clearly.
“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded and went into the room under everyone’s stare.
“Mom, this is my friend. She was the one who saved me yesterday,” Chen Xinyi told the young-looking woman who was feeding her soup.
Having heard what she said, everyone in the ward turned their attention to Yun Jian.
