Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 309: Letter of Guarantee

"You need to write us a guarantee letter, so if anyone brings this up again in the future, we have proof, right?"

"Do you want to write a guarantee letter or call the police?"

Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking and looked at the old lady, giving her a considerate look as if waiting for her choice.

Was it really a choice? It was clearly not.

The old lady cursed internally, but thinking about the imminent medical fees, she grit her molars and agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao took out paper and pen from her bag, which she always carried with her, just in case.

Fingerprint ink could be found in the space mall.

The old lady was barely literate, so Su Xiaoxiao wrote the guarantee letter for her; she just needed to press her fingerprint.

She was in a hurry to get the money, her attitude was urgent.

"Write quickly, I still have to take care of my eldest grandson."

After speaking, seeing her daughter-in-law still by the hospital bed, she sneered, "Why are you still standing here? You worthless thing, why don’t you hurry up and take care of my eldest grandson? If anything happens to him, see if I don’t beat you when we get back!"

The words were quite unpleasant, and Su Xiaoxiao frowned involuntarily, the little girl on the bed was obviously in a serious condition, yet no one was caring for her.

The old woman’s heart was probably biased to the Pacific Ocean.

Would someone like her really be willing to use the medical fees to treat the girl?

Su Xiaoxiao had already finished writing the guarantee letter, but thinking about this, she silently added a sentence.

If the medical fees are not used for the treatment of both children, Party A is entitled to reclaim them.

After writing, she handed the guarantee letter to the old lady, expecting her to hesitate, but she eagerly asked Su Xiaoxiao for the ink to press her fingerprint.

"Alright, I’ve signed the guarantee letter, give me the money."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Director Liu, I’ll go inquire about the medical fees for both children and pay them directly."

"Okay, come find me afterward for reimbursement."

Director Liu responded.

She turned to leave, but as she turned around, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"Ma’am, what are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand and turned back.

"No need to bother, just give me the money directly, I’ve already asked the doctor, it’s a total of forty-five yuan."

"No, the guarantee letter has it written in black and white, this money can only be used for medical fees."

The old lady swore, "You can give it to me, I will surely use it to pay for the kids’ medical fees."

After all, once people left, whether she’d pay or not, who would know.

"Alright, here’s the money."

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hesitate to put the money into the old woman’s hand.

This silly girl is easy to fool.

The smile on the old lady’s lips hadn’t even formed before Su Xiaoxiao said, "You go pay, I’ll follow you."

"That’s not necessary, isn’t it unnecessarily troublesome..."

The old lady was somewhat impatient, why did this silly girl have so much to say?

But before she could finish, Su Xiaoxiao said, "If you’re unwilling for me to follow, we can call a police officer over..."

If the police actually came, there wouldn’t be anything good for her.

The old lady’s face paled even more, and she elongated her face, "Fine, if you want to follow, then follow."

She was gradually hating Su Xiaoxiao, blaming this silly girl, she might not be able to get a penny.

After accompanying the old lady to pay the fee and returning to the ward, Director Liu and others had already bought some food for the little girl.

The little girl was gobbling down white porridge.

The doctor had cautioned before leaving, the child’s stomach wasn’t well, so she could only eat something easy to digest.

The child was said to be six years old, but she was so thin and bony, she looked no older than four or five.

While the little girl was drinking porridge, she suddenly saw the old lady coming in, and she shivered, almost dropping the lunch box in her hand.

"Just focus on eating, you’re so greedy! Your brother is still hungry, don’t you know to save some for him?"

The little girl was scolded harshly and shrank back placing the lunch box on the side table.

Having labored for so long without earning a penny, the old lady’s face was not looking good, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the little girl before leaving, she knew that during this era, most girls were in the same plight.

To survive was already considered lucky.

Young Chen felt uncomfortable seeing the old lady bossing around a small child like that.

While taking care of the little boy in another room earlier, the boy was as chubby as a calf, compared to this child, the difference was like heaven and earth.

She opened her mouth wanting to say something, but saw Su Xiaoxiao shaking her head at her.

Even if they scolded the old woman, it wouldn’t change the girl’s situation, and it might even worsen the old lady’s attitude towards the girl.

Material help was not likely to fall into the little girl’s hands.

If not for her insistence, she believed that with the old lady’s behavior, she might simply take the girl’s medical fee and leave her to fend for herself.

A group departed the hospital with complex emotions.

After a brief spell of sadness, the life of cattle and horses had to continue.

Su Xiaoxiao now identified herself like this, after rushing to complete the First Department Store’s training, she was taken by Director Liu on a busy trip to the Second Department Store.

In Director Liu’s words, time was tight and tasks were heavy, asking her to bear with it.

Although she didn’t want to bear more, Director Liu provided much.

Over and above the original travel allowance, Director Liu added a daily two-yuan living subsidy.

In a month, she directly earned several months’ salary from the department store, being cattle and horses was fine.

This way, after hustling day and night with Director Liu for a week, it finally came to the end of the temporary assignment.

Director Liu felt quite apologetic for exploiting Su Xiaoxiao over the period, tucking a pile of Haining City specialties into her hands upon departure.

Haining City lay by the sea and was rich in marine products.

Fresh seafood wasn’t convenient to carry, so Director Liu packed a bunch of dried seafood for Su Xiaoxiao.

Things like dried abalone, shark fins, dried shrimp, dried ribbonfish, all were good items unobtainable in their city.

Su Xiaoxiao had originally planned to buy some to take back, but this saved the effort.

"Xiao Su, wouldn’t you consider developing here in Haining in the future? If you come over, I can at least arrange a floor manager position for you; it’s not like some people who are so stingy to offer a deputy position and take it back later."

On the way to send Su Xiaoxiao to the train station, Director Liu tried to poach her.

He liked this girl, sweet-talking, attentive, and efficient at work.

Understanding Director Liu was clearly taking a dig at their general manager, Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched, she politely replied, "Director, there are many kids at my house, my mom can’t manage alone, it’s inconvenient for me to move too far away for now, besides, the floor manager position was already predetermined, it was agreed from the start that I’d substitute for a few days."

Director Liu was good to her, but General Manager Yan was still her immediate boss; she needed to clarify this matter.
