Chapter 2

"He's still breathing."

Things would be easier if he was alive. She had saved him, and he might even give her a sum of money to repay her kindness.

Ye Jinxiu helped the man up and dragged him under his armpits to continue walking towards the town.

Her body looked soft and delicate, but unexpectedly, she was quite strong. She could easily drag the man along.

There was a health center and a few small clinics in town. The health center charged three times more than the small clinics, but the medical standards were about the same.

"Is the doctor here?"

Ye Jinxiu put the man aside and shouted at the door. After a while, a voice came from inside the room. "The door is not locked. Come in."

Ye Jinxiu dragged the man into the room. Another man came out from a cubicle. The man was the doctor of the small clinic. People called him Master Wu.

Master Wu glanced at Ye Jinxiu and his gaze fell on the man. "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know. I picked him up on the road.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. I saw that he was still breathing, so I brought him here. "

Master Wu checked the man's breathing and pursed his lips. "He's still breathing, but his condition is not good."

"Help him to the bed. I'll take a closer look."

Master Wu stood aside with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of helping.

Ye Jinxiu raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Master Wu was not moving, he had no choice but to use all his strength to help the man onto the bed.

Master Wu first checked the man's pulse, then lifted his eyelids to take a look. Then, he took out a stethoscope and began to listen to the man's pulse.

"His pulse is normal, but his blood is weak. He fainted from excessive blood loss."

Ye Jinxiu glanced at the man. Since he had sent him to the small clinic, he had to treat him. Otherwise, this deal would be a loss.

"How much does it cost?"

Master Wu gave Ye Jinxiu a look that said, "You're very sensible." He smiled and said, "It's not expensive. Only five dollars. I'll make sure he wakes up in two hours."

Isn't it just money? She has it!

Ye Jinxiu took out five yuan and handed it to Master Wu without hesitation. "Sorry to trouble you. I'll come back in two hours."

After paying, Ye Jinxiu did not linger and turned to leave.

There was a ready-made clothing store in the center of Nanzhen. The clothing styles there were relatively new. If one wanted to buy clothes, it was a good choice.

"Comrade, please come in. Are you buying clothes or shoes?"

Just as they reached the entrance of the clothing store, the store owner quickly came out to greet Ye Jinxiu warmly.

Ye Jinxiu followed the shop owner inside.

The clothing store was called Fangfang Clothing Store. It was not a small store. As soon as they entered, they saw a sea of red and green floral dresses.

Seeing that Ye Jinxiu was looking at those floral dresses, the shop owner smiled even more happily and said proudly, "Comrade, our shop's clothes are famous in town. Other places don't sell such beautiful clothes."

Ye Jinxiu picked up a blue floral dress. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since she was in this era, she had to buy a few sets of clothes from this era.

"It's so beautiful, comrade. You have fair skin. This dress is perfect for you."

Ye Jinxiu compared the dress to her body. "Can I try it on?"

"Yes, please come with me."

The shop owner led Ye Jinxiu into a cubicle. "You can change here."

As she spoke, the shop owner walked out.

After the shop owner left, Ye Jinxiu pulled down the curtain and quickly put on the dress.

As there was no mirror in the cubicle, she did not know how she looked after putting on the dress.

She opened the curtain and walked out. "Boss, is there a mirror?"

"This dress is so beautiful. Boss, I have an identical one!"

"Boss, I want one too!"

"Boss, I want a green one. Do you have it here?"

A few girls dressed as students came into the shop. They were looking at clothes in the shop. When they saw that Ye Jinxiu looked good in the blue floral dress, they all clamored to buy an identical one.

The shop owner immediately smiled and said happily, "Yes, we do. Wait here, I'll go get it now."

The girls approached Ye Jinxiu. They were not afraid of strangers at all and directly reached out to touch Ye Jinxiu's dress.

One of the girls asked, "Is this dress comfortable?"

Ye Jinxiu adjusted the dress and thought for a moment. "It's quite breathable. It's not bad."

The girl asked again, "Your breasts are so big. How did you raise them?"

Ye Jinxiu was thick-skinned and did not feel shy at all. "I just squeezed them a little."

Whether it was a girl or a woman, they all liked to be beautiful. Modern women often bought all kinds of trinkets to create a sense of "fullness." Looking at the passionate gazes of the girls, Ye Jinxiu thought of a way to make money.

"Do you guys want it?"

The girls nodded vigorously. Ye Jinxiu lowered his voice and said, "I have something that can make your breasts look more perky. But I didn't bring it today. I'll only have it next month."

Ye Jinxiu thought to himself, One month is enough time to develop a bra pad.

"Really?"

The girls' eyes sparkled as they stared at Ye Jinxiu's breasts. They couldn't wait to reach out and touch them.

Ye Jinxiu stepped aside and was about to speak when the shop owner came out.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Ye Jinxiu naturally answered, "We were just casually chatting."

The shop owner wanted to continue asking, but Ye Jinxiu changed the topic. "These dresses are really beautiful. Don't you guys want to try them on?"

The shop owner's attention was diverted and she quickly chatted with the girls next to her.

Ye Jinxiu changed out of the dress and walked around the shop a few times. She picked out a white blouse and a white floral dress.

The shop owner had just tasted the sweetness of the dress and strongly suggested that she try it on.

Ye Jinxiu went to a cubicle to change after being coaxed and pestered by the shop owner. As soon as she walked out of the cubicle, the girls went up to her.

"Boss, I want the exact same outfit!"

"Boss, I want the same outfit too!"

"Boss, I want two outfits!"

The shop owner was grinning from ear to ear. After taking the money, she asked Ye Jinxiu enthusiastically, "Comrade, you look good in anything. Do you want to buy another outfit?"

She could tell that this female comrade was very good at matching outfits. Any outfit that caught her eye would sell well.

"How much is the blue dress and this set of clothes?"

The shop owner counted with her fingers and said with a smile, "The blue dress is 15 yuan, the white blouse is 10 yuan, and the dress is 10 yuan. That's a total of 25 yuan."

Ye Jinxiu's plan was to spend 20 yuan to buy two outfits. When she heard that it was 25 yuan for two outfits, she frowned subconsciously, "Is 20 yuan okay?"

The shop owner did not expect Ye Jinxiu to bargain. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Okay, you can come more often in the future."

Thanks to Ye Jinxiu, she had earned dozens of yuan today.

The shop owner was also a shrewd person. She wanted to give Ye Jinxiu a discount so that she would come to the shop to buy clothes again.

"Doctor, is he awake?"

Ye Jinxiu walked into the small clinic and looked around the room.

The man was lying on the bed by the window. At this moment, the bed was empty and there was no trace of the man in the room.

Could it be that the cooked duck flew away?

"Over there."

Master Wu was treating another patient and pointed to the cubicle when he heard this.

Ye Jinxiu quickly walked to the cubicle. As soon as she entered, she saw the man lying on the bed, unable to move.

"Thank God, you're finally awake. Are you okay?"

Ye Jinxiu smiled and put on a caring expression. She walked to the bedside and sat down. She reached out and touched the man's forehead.

This man looked like a rich man. She wondered how much he would give her to thank her.

The man turned his eyes and his gaze fell on Ye Jinxiu. "Were you the one who saved me?"

The man's voice was low and hoarse. He looked very handsome after washing away the blood on his face.

Ye Jinxiu nodded and said innocently, "Yes, I see that you're seriously injured. Are you okay?"

The man's health was not good. His right hand was fractured and his left foot was broken. It would take at least three months for him to recover.

"My name is Gao Xuejun."

The man said his name and then said, "I can't repay you for saving my life."

Ye Jinxiu was waiting for him to say, "I can't repay you for saving my life. I can only repay you with money." She did not expect him to stop halfway through the sentence. He looked serious and did not intend to continue.

Ye Jinxiu's mouth twitched. She couldn't have saved a stingy person, right?

"It's not considered saving your life. You don't have to take it to heart."

Gao Xuejun scrutinized Ye Jinxiu and then said seriously, "Okay."

This time, it was Ye Jinxiu's turn to be stumped. Since the man did not know what was good for him, she did not have to continue pretending. "What's so good about it? I saved your life. Not only should you be grateful, but you also have to give me a sum of money."

"Your medical fees are five dollars. Add it to the cost of saving your life and the transportation fee, and you can give me five thousand dollars."

Gao Xuejun looked at Ye Jinxiu in shock. Just a second ago, this woman was asking him for money. The next second, she was asking him for money to repay her life-saving grace. The speed at which she changed her attitude was too fast.

Five thousand dollars was a lot. He did not even have fifty cents on him, let alone five thousand dollars.

"I don't have it."

Ye Jinxiu put her hands on her hips and said, "Call your family and ask them to send the money over."

Gao Xuejun was from the capital. He came to Nancheng to carry out a top secret mission.

This mission could not reveal his identity, and he could not contact his family.

He was injured now. The doctor said that he would need at least three months to recover. Thinking of this, Gao Xuejun looked at Ye Jinxiu again until Ye Jinxiu had goosebumps. He said, "Okay, but I can only give you the money after three months."

"No, if you go back on your word, who can I reason with?"

Gao Xuejun met Ye Jinxiu's gaze. "I'm not done yet. I can give you ten thousand dollars, but you have to take me home and take care of me for three months."

This was a good deal. Ye Jinxiu thought for a while and agreed.

There was a pier in the west of Nancheng. Ye Jinxiu went to the pier and found a backpacker to carry Gao Xuejun back to the village.

When they reached home, Ye Jinxiu found that the courtyard door of the house had been opened.

She suspected that a burglar had broken into the house and hurried into the house.

There were only four rooms in the house. She first checked her own room, then her parents' room, and finally her brother's room.

When she reached the door, there was a rustling sound in the room. Ye Jinxiu was sure that the burglar was in her brother's room.

She picked up the broom at the door and tiptoed to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a person lying on the bed.

Ye Jinxiu quickly walked over, raised the broom, and swung it at him.

The person on the bed screamed in pain from her beating and scurried around with his head in his hands.

"Sister, why did you hit me?"
