I traded scrap metal for hundreds of billions

Chapter 15 Who Hurt You?

Wen Zhi doesn't have a penny now.

But the three younger siblings were all hospitalized.

Wen Fangming is still under observation in the ICU.

Gu Xiaoxiao was seriously injured tonight. Her neck was covered with purple finger marks and she has been lying on the hospital bed in a coma.

Gu Yan's injuries on his abdomen and back were also serious, and his thin body was covered with hideous scars.

Wen Zhi was terrified by what she saw, and she held down Gu Yan who refused to be hospitalized.

"Just stay in the hospital. Don't worry about the money I told you about. I'll find a way."

Gu Yan gritted his teeth and sat up, shaking his head and said, "Fang Ming is in the ICU for 10,000 a day. Xiao Xiao is also injured and hospitalized now. The medical expenses every day are a considerable amount. If I have to be hospitalized again, how can you earn enough money just by yourself?"

"I've always been in good health. This minor injury will heal in a few days. There's no need to be hospitalized."

"Besides, I recently found a new construction site, and they are willing to let me move bricks and pay me 100 yuan a day. I can't lose this job!"

Gu Yan didn't say that he didn't want to give up this job because there was another more important reason.

He was afraid that Wen Zhi would suddenly run away like Gu Shaoxiong, and he would have to rely on that job to support his younger brother and sister.

Wen Zhi saw his stubbornness and also his understanding, and a warmth welled up in her eyes.

She murmured, "You really are just like what mom said in the letter, a sensible and responsible brother."

Gu Yan didn't hear what Wen Zhi said clearly, and frowned and asked in confusion: "What did you just say?"

Wen Zhi pushed him back onto the bed and covered him with a blanket.

"I told you not to go anywhere. Just stay in the hospital. I need to find a way to make money."

Then, she stuffed the last hundred cash in her pocket into Gu Yan's hand.

"Here's a hundred dollars. It's for your meal tomorrow. I'll pay for your medical expenses when I get back."

After saying that, she left the hospital again and returned to the scrap recycling plant regardless of her injuries.

Gu Yan clenched the hundred yuan in his hand and watched Wen Zhi leave in a hurry like she did last night, with unspeakable emotions rising in his heart.

Finally, with red eyes, he turned sideways and lay obediently on the hospital bed.

He said to himself: "I will treat this 100 yuan as a day's salary and wait for you for a day. If you don't come back, I will leave the hospital and move bricks to make money."

Gu Yan placed the hundred yuan on his chest, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Wen Zhi returned to the scrap recycling plant and picked up another large bag of rusty screws.

She turned her head and saw a large bottle of alcohol on the cabinet. She thought of the injured people she saw yesterday, and turned around to take the full bottle of alcohol with her.

Like yesterday, she lay on the cold, hard bed and closed her eyes.

Touch the model with awareness.

A familiar feeling of dizziness came over me.

The next second, the sound of wind chimes rang in my ears.

Wen Zhi opened her eyes immediately and found herself in the future world.

She looked at the shelf next to her with familiarity, and the big bag of rusty screws was still in its original position.

"By the way, what about alcohol?"

Wen Zhi didn't see anything else on the shelf.

She looked around quickly.

Finally, a hundred bottles of alcohol were seen in an inconspicuous corner.

Wen Zhi's eyes widened.

"With this 1:100 ratio, can one bottle of alcohol be turned into one hundred bottles of alcohol?"

"But why is this alcohol not on the shelf, but in this corner?"

With this doubt, Wen Zhi picked up a bottle of alcohol and scanned it at the cash register with a sweeper.

I saw a sentence pop up on the cash register screen -

[Employees’ personal belongings are not allowed to be sold. ]

Wen Zhi raised her eyebrows.

"It seems that this alcohol cannot be used as a commodity. It is my personal property and I am not allowed to sell it. This means that I cannot trade alcohol with Quan Yuan."

She narrowed her eyes, grabbed a handful of screws, and held up a bottle of alcohol. "Then I'll give it away as a gift."

It only said that she was not allowed to sell it, but did not say that she was not allowed to give it as a gift.

This alcohol is not worth much. Every time Quan Yuan gives her such expensive diamonds as a bargaining chip, she treats him as a friend, so it is reasonable for her to give him a hundred bottles of alcohol as a gift.

The future shop seemed to be able to sense what she was thinking, and a few more words appeared on the cash register screen.

Wen Zhi read it out softly, "Employees' personal belongings are not allowed to be sold, but can be given away as gifts."

After repeated confirmation, gifting is allowed.

Wen Zhi's mouth corners slightly raised, she walked out of the cashier counter with satisfaction, and decided to go directly to Quan Yuan.

Given the completely different situations after the previous two openings.

This time, she was much more cautious.

Wen Zhi opened the door carefully, leaving a crack enough for her to look out.

All I could see was the pitch-black night. I couldn't see anything clearly, not even a shadow.

Wen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then opened the door completely, letting the light in the room shine out so that she could barely see everything at the door.

This is where she came yesterday.

That primeval forest.

In the silent and dark forest, there were only the sounds of wind and leaves blowing, and no other sounds.

Wen Zhi swallowed and felt a little scared.

Thinking of her three younger brothers and sisters who were waiting for her to come back with money, a sense of courage broke out from her fear and spread along her limbs.

She took firm steps and walked out of the shop.

Then the little shop disappeared behind her and returned to her mind.

In an instant, she was the only one left in the pitch-black forest.

"..."

Wen Zhi stood there, suddenly not knowing where to go.

She looked around, and memories of yesterday flooded into her mind. The forest from yesterday's daytime seemed to slowly overlap with the world before her.

"Fortunately, when I followed that person yesterday, I made a special note of the route."

She walked in that direction according to the road she remembered.

In less than five minutes, she was safely at where they had camped.

A faint campfire was particularly bright in the open space.

She saw Quan Yuan sitting alone facing the campfire. His broad, straight back was like a protective umbrella, protecting the area firmly and making people feel at ease.

"Who is where?"

Suddenly, Quan Yuan's cold voice sounded, and Wen Zhi felt a strong sense of danger.

She was just about to take a step back when Quan Yuan, who had been beside the campfire, appeared in front of her.

She raised her head tremblingly, and met those unruly golden eyes, which had an obvious bloodthirsty look in them.

Wen Zhi quickly put on a weak smile.

"Quan Yuan, it's me. I'm here to make a deal with you again."

When Quan Yuan saw the face clearly, the previous oppression disappeared instantly, and endless tenderness welled up in his eyes.

"You're really here."

Wen Zhi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I also brought you some alcohol."

She raised her head and held out the bottle of alcohol as if she were presenting a treasure.

Quan Yuan didn't look at the bottle of alcohol, but put it on her neck.

He stretched out his slender fingers, gently lifted her chin, and stared at the purple marks on her neck.

"Who hurt you?"

There was anger in his tone.
