Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Zhu Jiu: "You'd better go back and explain it to her, otherwise I..."

【Zhu He: How about this?】

Zhu Jiu: "Otherwise I will crush Zhu Ba's life card."

【Zhu He: Just pinch it, it's just a piece of rotten wood.】

Zhu Jiu paused for a moment, then continued, "Then let's pinch Ah Xiang's."

Zhu He disappeared from the car with a bang, leaving only one sentence:

【you are vicious. 】

Inside the empty car, the air seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Zhu Jiu's faint sigh was heard.

"Sorry……"

……

Ten p.m.

Those who should come back have also come back.

Zhu Jiu looked at Zhu He coldly, "Say it again."

Zhu He scratched his hair until it was almost a mess. He scratched his hair and said apologetically:

She said I was also a member of the Zhu family and would definitely protect you, but she didn't believe me.

Zhu Jiu was silent.

That's it.

He has to do the job of apologizing himself.

"Where is she?" he asked.

Zhu He pointed to the villa next door.

She returned to Villa No. 1, to her original room.

Zhu He scratched his brow and said guiltily:

[Well, it seems like she's moving out. She said she'll be leaving after just one night.]

Zhu Jiu's heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.

Before he had time to get angry with Zhu He, he quickly rushed downstairs and ran towards the villa next door.

A Xiang was still dividing money with Dou Dou, Zhu Ba, and Shao Shao on the first floor. When he saw Zhu Jiu, he was about to greet him warmly, but when he saw his pale face and anxious eyes, his smile gradually disappeared.

Ah Xiang: "What happened to Second Uncle?"

Zhu Ba took the suitcase and divided it among himself happily. "Hey, if we leave him and Jingzhi's share for them, I don't believe they won't be happy."

Ah Xiang patted Zhu Ba's shoulder and said with a frown:

"Something seems really wrong. Why don't we go take a look? We can divide the money anytime."

"This time it's all thanks to my second uncle. Otherwise, if my cards were replaced, I would have to play the erhu on the overpass."

"Uncle San, let's help him."

Zhu Ba groaned and put down the suitcase. "Okay, okay, if you want to go, go quickly. I'll close the door. Don't let any money leak out."

While they were talking, Shao Shao and Dou Dou had already run to the third floor stairs to eavesdrop.

Jingzhi did not get angry.

Facing the flustered Zhu Jiu, she appeared very polite.

She put this month's rent, food expenses, compensation for the downstairs light, and the ransom for her jade cat in an envelope and handed it to him.

She smiled and said:

"Uncle, we're even now. I don't owe you anything anymore."

She paused, then continued:

"I'll ask Auntie Min to refund you the money for the lessons. Your handwriting is actually very good. I can't teach you, and there's no point wasting money like this."

For the first time, Zhu Jiu felt the money was hot.

And what does it mean to be clear of both parties?

She obviously likes him, and his heart is also on her, how can they make peace?

"Jingzhi...I am not what you think."

"That set was prepared by our great master. He was afraid that our Zhu family would be extinct, so..."

Jingzhi pressed her aching forehead and laughed, "So she poked a hole in the condom to trick me."

"Zhu Jiu, you guys are really nice."

……

When Shao Shao heard this, he was so angry that he picked up a small stone from the potted plant by the wall and threw it at the back of Zhu Jiu's head.

He looked righteous, but I didn't expect that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart!

"Boom."

Zhu Jiu didn't even try to hide, but just stared at Jingzhi.

But there was no trace of heartache in her eyes anymore.

Zhu Jiu lowered his eyes in disappointment, and squeezed the envelope with such force that veins popped out.

Zhu Ba suddenly said to the two people in the standoff:

"My second brother is innocent and still a virgin. He can't even tell the front and back of a condom. That condom can't possibly be his."

Jingzhi glanced at him and said calmly:

"No matter whose conspiracy it is, I will still feel uncomfortable if it falls on me."

She leaned slightly toward the group.

"Thank you all for your care during this time. I will be moving out tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to come visit me."

Shao Shao floated over and took her hand with a worried look on his face.

"You poor bastard! You just paid off your debt, how can you afford to rent a house? You haven't even received your salary yet, right?"

"Why don't you move in with my sister? My house is big, and I'm worried about her being alone."

Jingzhi couldn't help but flick her forehead and said with a smile: "You finally know how to protect me? And you still say I'm a poor ghost."

She turned to the stunned Zhu Jiu and smiled politely:

"I have money too, I just saved it, you don't have to worry."

"I've already contacted the house. I'll go take a look after get off work tomorrow. The address is ＊＊＊＊."

Zhu Jiu was completely unable to react.

Is she really going to leave?

Doudou silently repeated the address, walked over and said, "Isn't that right next door to my house? You..."

She glanced at Jingzhi cautiously, "Did you just go out and rob a bank?"

Jingzhi leaned against the door frame, hugged her chest, and rolled her eyes.

"Do you really look down on me like this? I have heirlooms too, okay?"

Doudou looked at Zhu Jiu's expression and asked in a low voice:

"You...you pawned your family heirloom?"

Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, thought about the hundreds of taels of silver and the little goldfish she had just exchanged, and nodded silently.

"That's it."

"From now on, I can be considered a family man."

She held the door and smiled at the people outside. "If the handover is successful, I will send you a text message to inform you. I hope you will all come to the warm-up party then."

Zhu Ba glanced cautiously at Zhu Jiu's dark face and whispered back, "I'll definitely go."

"And the money Ah Xiang won this time. He said you guys also contributed to it. I'll go down and give it to you."

Jingzhi gave Zhu Jiu a last deep look, then closed the door without any more nostalgia.

"No, as for the money, as long as it's enough, it's fine."

"I have it myself."

……

Doudou and Shaoshao winked at each other frantically.

Doudou shook her head: I've read it. Her sister Jingzhi was so angry that she bought a villa as a family heirloom. This time, she has completely confronted her second uncle.

Shao Shao mouthed: Shall we go to the pawnshop and redeem her heirloom?

Doudou nodded: I think it’s okay.

A Xiang: Let me pay some money.

He confronted Zhu Ba.

Zhu Ba touched the back of his neck awkwardly and forced himself to nod.

The money hasn't even warmed up yet and it's already flying away. Alas.

……

Everyone is gone.

The voice-activated light had long been off.

In front of her door, there was still a wet figure standing upright.

The envelope in Zhu Jiu's hand fell to the ground with a plop, and the banknotes inside spilled out a little, gradually getting wet by the water under his feet.

He didn't even look at it, but just put his hand on the door panel and rested his slightly wet head on it.

He said in a hoarse voice:

"Jingzhi...I'm in pain."

The voice-activated light came on, illuminating the splash of water from his chin onto the banknotes on the ground.

No one answered.

After a few seconds, the lights went out.

The light in his eyes was extinguished as well.
