After Zhou Shenglai got off the car, he went to look for his friend in the provincial capital. Cai Anan took Zhou Jin to the provincial hospital to see a doctor.
She had brought enough cash with her when she went out today. She planned to stay with Zhou Jin in the provincial capital for a few more days to thoroughly treat his illness.
Nowadays, hospitals weren't as busy as they were in the past. Because of the good air and healthy food, there were fewer illnesses.
After queuing up, it was their turn soon.
The person who received Zhou Jin was an old doctor surnamed Zhu. After asking about Zhou Jin's basic situation, he suggested that he take an X-ray first. He said that the hospital had just imported a very advanced X-ray machine.
Cai Anan listened to Dr. Zhu's suggestion and took Zhou Jin for an X-ray. Dr. Zhu looked at the X-ray and said,"Your brother's illness is not caused by excessive psychological pressure, but by a serious concussion!”
The doctor saw that Cai Anan was young and did not know that she was married. He thought that Zhou Jin was her brother.
Cai Anan was shocked and did not bother to explain. She hurriedly said,""Doctor, please take a closer look. My brother's illness is indeed caused by excessive stress.”
Dr. Zhu shook his head." You have to believe in science. Your brother has a not-so-obvious dent in his skull. According to my judgment, it was caused by a blunt object, or he had fallen on his head before. Try to recall what kind of injury he had suffered.
If she fell, Xue Guixiang would have known.
Could it be that Xue Guixiang deliberately hid Zhou Jin's illness? But why did she do that? What good would it do her?
She heard that she had sold the donkey at home in order to treat Zhou Jin. Moreover, she was Zhou Jin's biological mother and would definitely not harm her son.
There must be a secret that she didn't know. Only Xue Guixiang could solve this secret, but now was not the time to solve the secret. She had to treat Zhou Jin first.
"Dr. Zhu, I really can't remember. I just want to know if my brother's illness can still be treated. Is there any possibility of recovery?”
Dr. Zhu pondered for a moment." Your brother's illness is very serious. At present, he can only be treated conservatively. I can only tell you that the condition can be controlled and not worsen, but the possibility of recovering his memory is very slim.”
Cai Anan's face was pale. She had high hopes for Zhou Jin's illness.
"Maybe a miracle will happen." Dr. Zhu continued," I'll prescribe some Chinese medicine for your brother first. Make sure he finishes it on time. If his condition improves, come and find me. If it doesn't, don't come."”
At this point, she could only try her best. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up on treatment.
She took the medicine and brought Zhou Jin to a hotel near the hospital to stay.
When she went out, she asked the village chief for a recommendation letter, and it went quite smoothly when she checked into the hotel.
The hotel was not cheap, costing 15 yuan a night, but the conditions were good. There was free breakfast in the morning and hot water at night.
However, Zhou Jin's Chinese medicine needed to be boiled. The hotel did not provide a stove, so she could only spend money to boil it at a small stall outside and bring it back for Zhou Jin to drink.
The first day passed just like that.
The next day, she wanted to go to the city for a walk, so she made an agreement with the small noodle stall and asked the boss to help her boil the medicine. She would collect it when they came back later.
When the boss heard that there was money to be made, he readily agreed.
Cai Anan asked the owner of the noodle stall if there was a wholesale market nearby.
The boss told her that there was a market near the train station's flyover. She could go and take a look.
When she heard this address, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The Nansanjo Market immediately appeared in her mind. In her previous life, Nansanjo was the largest wholesale market in Jibei Province. In the 1990s, the market turnover reached more than one billion yuan, and thus it was ranked among the top ten wholesale markets in the country. The name of Nansanjo was also famous in the north and south of the Yangtze River. It was known as "North Sanjo Nanyiwu".
However, it was now 1980, and the Minamisanjo market had not yet been formed. Only its predecessor, the Overpass Market, existed.
Cai Anan asked for directions and took Zhou Jin to the east side of the bridge at the intersection of the railway station and the long-distance bus station. The traffic here was convenient and the passenger flow was concentrated. Merchants from the south and north saw this geographical advantage and spontaneously gathered here to form the " Overpass Market."
Because it was formed spontaneously by the vendors, there was no unified management and regulation by the government. The market was simple and chaotic, but the prosperity here was an eye-opener for Cai Anan.
In this era where tickets were needed for everything, the free flow of goods undoubtedly contributed to the explosion of consumer demand. The main business here was a variety of small commodities, including daily necessities, fabrics, clothing, and shoes.
Cai Anan believed that she could find a place of her own here. Initially, she planned to wholesale clothes or fabrics from the market to Jinning County to earn the difference.
In the 1980s, there were many businesses that could make a fortune, but Cai Anan would not be reincarnated. The family she was reborn into had neither connections nor money. She could not open a factory, nor did she have the capital to go to the south to envelop land. She could only take it one step at a time.
Today was a rest day, and the small commodity market was even more crowded. Every stall owner had a good business, especially the stall owners who sold tight woolen sweaters and dace shirts. They were almost crowded by some young girls and housewives.
Cai Anan spotted the biggest stall and squeezed her way to the stall owner. She asked for the price of the woolen sweaters and Dusk shirts. The stall owner told her that the women's woolen sweaters were 20 yuan each and the men's shirts were 15 yuan each. They did not bargain.
Cai Anan did some calculations. The wool sweater cost 20 yuan, so it would cost at least 30 yuan to ship it back. The villagers could only save up 100 yuan in a year's work. They definitely could not accept this price.
Even in Jinning County, there were very few people who could afford woolen sweaters. The cloth stalls were not as popular as the clothes stalls, but the people who came here were all real people. Unlike the clothes stalls, some were really buying, and some were just looking at them.
After repeated selection, Cai Anan took a fancy to a few fabrics. They were all fashionable fabrics. She told the boss that she was selling them wholesale, and the boss lowered the price a little.
The boss gave her a wholesale price of 1.61 meters. Even if she went back and sold it for 4 yuan, she could still earn 2.40 yuan per meter. Moreover, her cloth did not need a ticket, so the price could be higher. She should be able to sell it for 4.60 yuan.
This way, he could earn 300 yuan for 100 meters of cloth, and 3,000 yuan for 1,000 meters of cloth. The profit was terrifying.
