Chapter 20 Business Opportunities at Your Fingertips

It was not until Director Yang and his group left with Gao Dongxu's gratitude on his face, coughing continuously and breathing weakly that Qin Huairu, who was standing there stupidly with the thick envelope tightly clenched in her hand and her beautiful eyes wide open, suddenly woke up and stared at the envelope in her hand.

The steel mill gave a total of 500 yuan for the one-time compensation, food allowance, transportation, food and accommodation expenses for care, plus some grain coupons, meat coupons and oil coupons, all of which were put in the envelope in Qin Huairu's hand.

Qin Huairu had never seen so much money since she was a child, so until this moment, she still held the envelope tightly in disbelief, as if she was afraid that the envelope would fly away.

"This is my life-saving money... If I die, I will have to pay more, cough cough cough..."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was a little obsessed, Gao Dongxu coughed and said self-deprecatingly.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word death, Qin Huairu immediately came to her senses, her face flushed, and she walked forward anxiously to help him calm down.

"Dongxu, are you okay... I..."

"Ahem. It's okay. Go close the door and open the envelope. I've never seen so much money in my life. Ahem..." Gao Dongxu coughed lightly with a pale face, turned to look at Qin Huairu, and showed a miserable smile.

"Oh——" Qin Huairu's beautiful eyes sparkled, she bit her red lips lightly, and walked quickly to the door with her big belly, closed the door of the ward, and bolted it.

Returning to the bedside, Qin Huairu, unable to suppress her excitement, opened the envelope in a panic and pulled out a large stack of banknotes, food coupons, and meat coupons from the envelope.

Seeing the money, Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up involuntarily. Big Black Ten, a brand new Big Black Ten!

The most valuable of the second series of RMB notes is the 10-yuan note, printed by the former big brother and the largest of all RMB notes. It is black, with a typical industrial figure of a man and a woman depicted on the obverse. A national HUI watermark, a security feature, is placed on the left side of the obverse. The note also has wide white borders on all four sides, earning it nicknames such as the "Big White Border" or "Big Black Ten."

The Big Black Ten not only has great purchasing power in this era, but in modern times, a Big Black Ten with a quality of 70% or 80% can be worth 300,000 yuan or even more. The top quality ones can even be worth 500,000 yuan.

If it is a special number, it will be more precious and the price will be higher.

"Ahem, Huairu, look at those big black numbers, are they connected..."

Gao Dongxu felt extremely emotional. The era in which this world was in was a super treasure for him. There was no need to look for it or buy those antiques that were discarded like rubbish, exchanged for food, and were about to be hit by a storm. Just getting some Big Black Tens and buying some Maotai liquor and bringing them back to the modern era would be enough for him to make 100 million yuan.

"What's connected?" Qin Huairu, who was already dazzled by the Big Black Ten and various tickets, looked at Gao Dongxu with a puzzled look on her face with excitement.

"Bring me a Big Black Ten. I'll show you... This is the number of the Big Black Ten. Look and see if the numbers on these Big Black Tens are connected."

Qin Huairu was holding a big black ten in confusion. After seeing Gao Dongxu raising his finger with difficulty to point at the red Arabic numerals above and below the big black ten, he frowned and picked up the sheets one by one to compare the numbers.

"What's the point of connecting these numbers..."

Gao Dongxu did not answer Qin Huairu's doubts, but waited quietly for the result.

"Got it... These ten are consecutive numbers, 8275801, all the way to 8275810..."

Finally, after Qin Huairu checked the numbers of the fifty big black tens, she drew out ten and put them in front of Gao Dongxu.

Such new big black ten, most likely just withdrawn from the bank, and sure enough there are consecutive numbers...

"Don't fold it. Put all the money back in the envelope. Go back and find a book with these ten consecutive bills and put them one by one between the pages. Ahem..."

"Well..." Qin Huairu didn't ask why. She carefully put the big black ten and various tickets back into the envelope, then looked at Gao Dongxu lying on the hospital bed, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Please keep this money and tickets. Don't spend the money yet. Use these tickets as you see fit. I have only one request: don't show off. You still have to show your difficulties to others, ahem..." Gao Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu, who was moved by his decision, and sighed in his heart at Qin Huairu's simplicity and virtue at this moment.

Qin Huairu, who knew her husband had always been stingy and used money very tightly, never letting her manage it, was a little bit unbelievable that she now had so much money and bills for her to manage. She even cried with joy. "Okay, stop crying. As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Ahem...the good fortune is starting to come true. Life will get better and better from now on." Gao Dongxu reached out and held Qin Huairu's right hand, feeling his rough fingers, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work over the past two years..."

Moved once again, tears welled up in her eyes. Qin Huairu, with tears in her eyes, tightly held Gao Dongxu's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Dongxu, you don't know how scared I was when I learned that you were in trouble... Woo woo..."

Gao Dongxu just held Qin Huairu's hand and listened to her crying. When he felt that she had cried enough, he comforted her softly, "Okay, stop crying. You're still pregnant. If your emotions fluctuate too much, it will cause miscarriage."

"Yeah... yeah." Qin Huai nodded while sobbing like a pear blossom in the rain, looking at Gao Dongxu, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness and attachment.

In this era, having a man to rely on is a woman’s greatest confidence.

In the following two months, under Qin Huairu's meticulous care, with the nourishment of spiritual energy and the treatment of modern medicine, Gao Dongxu's injuries recovered better than the hospital doctors expected.

When he was discharged from the hospital, Gao Dongxu was able to walk a little with help. However, his severely injured lungs left him with considerable sequelae. Fortunately, he had tried and found that spiritual energy could slowly nourish the injured lungs. Recovery was only a matter of spiritual energy and time.

He was supported by Sha Zhu as he walked out of the hospital and lay down on a three-wheeled flatbed cart that Sha Zhu had borrowed specifically to pick him up from the hospital.

"Your mother and your wife are cleaning up at home and waiting for you to come back. Shall we walk?" Sha Zhu got on the tricycle, looked back to see if Gao Dongxu was lying down properly, and asked with a smile.

"Zhuzi, don't be impatient, give me a cigarette. It's been two months, I'm almost suffocating..."

If it weren't for the purpose of advancing time, Gao Dongxu would never be willing to lie down for two months.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Sha Zhu glared at Gao Dongxu and yelled when he heard him asking for a cigarette.

"It's okay. Just one or two puffs will satisfy me. I won't die."

"I dare not. If you smoke again, your mother and your wife will skin me alive. Come on, just lie down and walk..." Sha Zhu didn't dare to listen to Gao Dongxu. They all knew that he had injured his lungs and he might not be able to do heavy work in the future. At this time, his injury had not healed yet. If he smoked again, he might cough to death.

"Oh my god, slow down, Zhuzi..."

When Sha Zhu pulled Gao Dongxu back to the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, everyone in the courtyard, except the men and women who were working, came out to greet them.

There was no way. Gao Dongxu was able to survive even though he was dead. He has become the protagonist of a legendary story for the surrounding neighbors and the steel mill.

"Dongxu is back——"

"I can even walk, I'm so lucky..."

"Who says it's not? I have such a strong life that even the King of Hell can't take it away..."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't engage in feudal superstition..."

. . . . . .

The neighbors around became spectators, talking about the incident one after another. Gao Dongxu walked slowly with the support of Sha Zhu, and greeted Auntie One and Auntie Two according to his memory.

"Dongxu——"

At this time, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, whose belly had grown a little bigger, separated from the crowd, walked quickly forward, and supported Gao Dongxu on the other side.

"Mom, Huairu——"
