Chapter 5 Selling Diamonds to Treat Diseases

The quiet hospital lobby in the middle of the night became lively because of Wen Zhi's words.

The doctor in the emergency room ran out of the office and saw Wen Fangming, who was burning hot in her arms, and said quickly: "The child is in a critical condition and needs to be rescued immediately. Leave the child to me!"

Wen Zhi handed Wen Fangming in her arms to the doctor and said solemnly: "Doctor, you must save my brother."

Gu Xiaoxiao, who was beside her legs, also raised her little head and looked at the doctor pleadingly.

The doctor said directly: "Don't worry, we will do our best."

After saying that, he carried Wen Fangming into the emergency room.

Wen Zhi held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand and waited anxiously at the door.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her chin and watched the movements inside eagerly, her face full of worry about Wen Fangming.

Seeing her like this, Wen Zhi quickly squatted down and rubbed her head.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao. Your brother will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao turned her pure black eyes and looked at Wen Zhi.

She, who couldn't speak, stretched out a hand and gestured to her.

"Thank you."

Wen Zhi understood the sign language, read it out loud, and rubbed her little head.

"Xiao Xiao, I'm your elder sister. My name is Wen Zhi. You don't have to be so polite to me in the future."

Gu Xiaoxiao tilted her head, as if thinking about the fact that she was the eldest sister.

Wen Zhi saw her thin body, took off her coat and put it on her.

"You are wearing too little. Are you cold?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head obediently.

In fact, she was very cold and shivering.

But her brothers never told her that she had an older sister, so she didn't dare to easily believe what this older sister said.

Wen Zhi saw a hint of wariness in her eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed across them.

"Don't be afraid, sister won't hurt you."

Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and lowered her head silently, then she smelled the faint fragrance coming from Wen Zhi's coat that was draped over her.

It smells nice and warm.

She looked at Wen Zhi timidly, stretched out her chubby little hand, and grabbed the edge of Wen Zhi's skirt.

Although she didn't know whether this older sister was her real older sister, she was willing to save her brother, so she must be a good person.

If she is a good person, Xiaoxiao is not afraid of her.

Wen Zhi looked at Gu Xiaoxiao's movements, with a tenderness in her eyes.

She took the initiative to hold Gu Xiaoxiao in her arms, "Xiaoxiao, if you are sleepy, take a nap. Maybe your brother will come out after you take a nap."

Gu Xiaoxiao rubbed her sleepy eyes, shook her head gently, tried to stay awake, and then looked firmly in the direction of the emergency room.

Xiaoxiao has to wait for his brother to come out!

When Wen Zhi saw her stubborn and cute look, her heart softened and she hugged her tighter.

"Is Wen Fangming's family here?"

Suddenly, the nurse came out of the emergency room.

Wen Zhi immediately stood up holding Gu Xiaoxiao, took two steps forward, and asked anxiously: "I am Wen Fangming's sister, how is he?"

The nurse handed her a slip and said, "Go to the cashier's office and pay. Your brother is still in critical condition, but he needs to pay for a medicine before he can use it. Hurry up, your brother is still waiting for this medicine to save his life!"

After saying that, the nurse turned around and went into the emergency room again.

Wen Zhi looked at the three thousand yuan bill with a serious expression.

She is penniless now, let alone three thousand yuan, even if she was sold she would not even get three thousand yuan!
Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind.

Oh, and she also has that goose egg-sized diamond!
Wen Zhi quickly put Gu Xiaoxiao down, searched her coat pockets, and immediately found the small black bag.

The moment she touched the bag, she found it was deflated. "Was the diamond lost while I was riding my bike?"

Wen Zhi was stunned for a second, then quickly opened the bag with a grim expression.

I saw that the diamond, which was originally the size of an egg, turned into a one-carat diamond the size of a fingernail.

In an instant, Wen Zhi felt a little angry.

She looked directly at the store model in her mind and questioned it with her consciousness.

"Why did the diamond become so small? Give me back my big diamond!"

The next second, a string of blue characters that only she could see popped up on the store model.

[For level 1 future shop, the ratio of items exchanged between the real world and the future world is 1:100 (there is a chance to change this ratio when upgrading the shop). ]

This means that the items Wen Zhi brought from the real world can increase energy by a hundred times.

Items brought back from the future world will be reduced by a hundred times.

So now the diamond has shrunk a hundred times, from a goose egg to such a small one carat diamond.

Wen Zhi looked back in the direction of the emergency room, picked up Gu Xiaoxiao again, her eyes narrowed.

"It's important to save Wen Fangming first. At least there's a one-carat diamond here, which should be worth three thousand dollars, enough to pay for the medical expenses!"

As she walked, she whispered, "I hope the hospital billing office will accept this diamond to offset the medical expenses."

It was late at night and there was no one queuing at the door of the cashier's office. As soon as Wen Zhi arrived, she handed over the bill and the diamond in her hand.

"Hello, I don't have any money. Can I use this diamond to pay for the medicine? I can guarantee that this diamond is real!"

When the doctor in the cashier's office heard this and looked up at the diamond, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

But when she thought of the hospital's rules, her face immediately turned stern again.

"No, we only accept cash here, you have to think of another way!"

Seeing her resolute attitude, Wen Zhi knew there was no hope.

She frowned and began to think about what to do.

Suddenly, she felt a pulling sensation on her arm. She looked down and saw Gu Xiaoxiao in her arms with trembling hands, pointing straight ahead.

Wen Zhi looked in the direction she was going and saw Zhu Lan not far away. She had a plump figure and was wearing the finest silk cheongsam. On her fleshy wrist was a fine emerald jade bracelet, looking like a wealthy lady.

"Auntie Lan, why are you in the hospital?"

Zhu Lan, who was walking out of breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at Wen Zhi.

"Xiaozhi, when did you become so physically fit that you can ride a tricycle so fast? You even surpassed my car!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi thought that it might be because of the future shop that took her to the future world, and her physical fitness would automatically be improved after she came back.

But she doesn't want anyone to know about this now.

She pretended to be dumbfounded and smiled: "Auntie Lan, is this true? It's late at night, you must have seen it wrong."

Then, she looked at the high-end jewelry Zhu Lan was wearing and clenched the diamond in her hand.

She smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Aunt Lan, I remember you said before that you wanted a high-quality diamond to make a small ring. It just so happens that I accidentally got a very high-quality one today. Do you like it?"

After saying this, she showed the one-carat diamond of perfect purity.

Zhu Lan, who originally wanted to talk about overtaking, focused all his attention on the diamond after seeing it sparkling with colorful light.

“What a beautiful diamond!”

She stretched out her plump white hand in fascination, and was about to touch the diamond.

Wen Zhi clasped her hands together suddenly, "Aunt Lan, although my diamond is small, I spent a lot of effort to get it."

Zhu Lan's eyes were fixed on her hand, with desire revealed in his eyes.

"Xiaozhi, name a price, I want it!"

Wen Zhi hesitated and said, "Aunt Lan, considering our long-term neighborly relationship, I will sell this diamond to you for three..." thousand.

Zhu Lan interrupted directly: "Okay, thirty thousand!"
