Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 11 Zhou Family Trouble
"Brother Kai, I bought it..." The shutter door opened, and Wang Ze walked in excitedly with a bucket of fried skewers. He was shocked when he saw Lu Jinzhao pressing Lin Kai, "Fuck! What are you doing, pervert?"
Wang Ze stepped forward and tried to free Lu Jinzhao from his grip on Lin Kai: "Let go!"
Lu Jinzhao was too lazy to bother with them any more, so he let go, took off his apron and hung it on the wall, "Wash the filter tank you kicked over."
After saying that, he ignored the two of them, packed up his things and left.
Qiansui was still a little indignant: "Brother Chao, you're just going to leave like this? Aren't you afraid that the two of them will do something behind your back?"
Lu Jinchao didn't care. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and held it between his slender fingers. The flickering flame made his already outstanding face look even more unruly. He said, "It doesn't matter. The surveillance cameras have recorded it."
Even if the two called the police, he had evidence that they were the first to start. The photos of the cleanup had already been posted to the group, so it would be useless even if they made it dirtier.
Qiansui hesitated and asked, "Brother Chao, do you still smoke?"
"Yeah, I got into this bad habit when I was short of money right after I graduated," Lu Jinzhao took a sip, "I've already given it up."
Qiansui was speechless: "You still smoke even after you quit?"
"If you want to smoke, go ahead." Lu Jinzhao smiled and put out his cigarette on the lid of the trash can: "Do you know why I was always crazy in my previous life, but now I am relatively mentally stable?"
"why?"
"Because I had no power in my previous life. I had no money and no power. I wanted to take revenge on those who hurt me, but I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even fight, and I couldn't even bear the consequences of hurting others. Whether it was from a legal, moral, or family perspective. In my previous life, I was too morally bound, and I could only go crazy when I collapsed. It's different now, I'm dead. Whether this is a fantasy before my death or a real time travel, I now have power, force, and a golden finger. I can take revenge on the spot. I can smoke whenever I want, without worrying about being pointed at and told "How can a girl smoke?" or worrying about smoking being harmful to my health."
Chitose fell into deep thought.
The taxi cost several dozen yuan, and it was already two in the morning when he returned to the rental house. His injured hand was inconvenient to get wet, so Lu Jinchao did not take a shower. The system kept him clean at all times, so there was no dirt or smell on his body.
He drank a bottle of scar removal medicine, turned on the heater and lay down in bed. His adoptive father Zhou Hongda had left many cigarette scars and strip-shaped scars on Zhou Ye's body before, and he didn't like them, so he simply removed them all this time.
"Why don't you drink the repair potion? You have to go to work tomorrow. It would be inconvenient to have an injured hand, right?"
"No rush."
The scar removal agent began to take effect, and the scars on my arms gradually faded. My skin would probably be smooth again by the time I woke up.
“Ding——” is the bank account arrival information.
The money Wu Qiming scraped together was directly deposited into the system mall. The system took action and no matter how powerful he was, he could not find the IP and account owner.
There is no need to be targeted because of the unknown source of large amounts of property.
Lu Jinzhao clicked his tongue twice: "I suddenly feel that hackers are very cool. I'll choose computer science as my major in college."
Chitose didn't understand: "Computer science departments shouldn't teach these things..."
Lu Jinzhao glanced at it and said helplessly: "That's just a cover. The real stuff is of course learned in the system space."
Wu Qiming knew that the other party was more capable than him, so he didn't think of Lu Jinchao. He was afraid of death and didn't dare to call the police. Once the evidence fell into the hands of the police, he would lose more than 10 million yuan. Not long after, he transferred the money. Lu Jinchao directly gave the money to Qiansui and let it handle the termination of the contract.
Chitose was very angry: "Asagi, are you just going to give in like that? Why are you giving money to such a rubbish agency?"
"You don't have to feel bad that I didn't spend your money."
"Humph! Am I worried about the money? I'm worried about you! You might as well just bankrupt this rubbish company, that way I'll feel better!"
Lu Jinzhao reached out and touched the thousand-year-old cat's head: "Why do you feel sorry for me? The unlucky one is Zhou Ye, not me."
*
The next day at work, just as Lu Jinzhao had said, Lin Kai and Wang Ze behaved themselves and stopped making trouble. Lin Kai had a plaster on his face and his eyes were a little evasive when he looked at him.
The store manager noticed the wound on Lu Jinchao's hand and also knew what happened last night. According to the regulations, she would not let Lu Jinchao touch the raw materials until the wound healed. The only job left for him was to take orders at the front desk, and Lu Jinchao was happy to have some free time.
This milk tea shop is quite strange. There are almost no hot drinks. Even if there are, due to inconsistent preparation methods, the hot drinks of the same product are far less delicious than the iced drinks.
In the cold winter, who would wait outside for half a day just to drink an iced drink? Therefore, it is not easy to have a regular customer.
After the regular customer placed her order, she saw the bandage on Lu Jinzhao's hand and asked, "Little brother, why are you injured?"
Lu Jinzhao relaxed his brows at this moment, his facial features did not change much, but his expression softened significantly: "I accidentally cut it."
"No wonder we let you outside today. Usually I only see you behind the curtain. You are so handsome, you should come to the front desk more often." There were no other guests behind her. While waiting for her cup, the young lady started chatting with Lu Jinzhao.
Wang Ze on the side couldn't help but speak up: "Can you please do something instead of flirting with girls?"
Lu Jinzhao didn't even bother to give him a look, "Mind your own business."
Not to mention that he had no intention of flirting with girls, this guy's tone made it seem as if he had not flirted with girls enough. If he had not fulfilled his duties as a master, he had no right to put on airs as a master.
Seeing the customer take the milk tea and leave, and now there was no one in front of the counter, Wang Ze simply threw the shaker into the pool, making a clanging sound, "Do you fucking want to fight?"
Zhou Ye has severe myopia and cannot tell the difference between people and animals at a distance of five meters. When he is not on camera, he always wears thick black-framed glasses. His bangs that go over his eyebrows make him look timid and gloomy, always giving people the illusion that he is timid and cowardly. That has always been the impression that Wang Ze and Lin Kai have of him.
As early as the day he drank the x potion, Lu Jinchao's vision in both eyes had recovered to 5.2. At this time, he used the back of his hand to support the thick-rimmed glasses on his nose that were used to cover his face, and sneered: "Wait until after get off work, I'll accompany you anytime."
Seeing this, another male colleague at the side quickly said: "Stop arguing, you can't chat during work hours."
Wang Ze wanted to say something, but Lin Kai pulled him back and he shut up in disappointment.
The two of them still liked to pick fights, but they didn't dare to really provoke Lu Jinzhao. They were often unable to win the argument and were afraid to fight, just like kindergarten urchins. In the end, the fight naturally didn't happen.
That night, Lu Jinzhao, who was playing games in an Internet cafe, received a call from Zhou's father.
Zhou Hongda said in a serious tone on the other end of the phone: "The New Year is coming soon, when will you be back?"
Lu Jinzhao didn't say anything, his fingers tapping on the keyboard.
After not receiving a reply for a long time, Zhou Hongda suddenly raised his voice: "I'm talking to you! Are you mute?! No matter what you say on the day of the Little New Year, you have to come back to me, do you hear me!"
After killing the opponent in seconds, Lu Jinzhao casually said, "What's up?"
"Of course I have something to say! Get back here! Don't make me mad on New Year's Day!"
"Oh." Lu Jinzhao hung up the phone and lit a cigarette. He wanted to see what tricks the Zhou family would play.
Just after he took a puff, Zhang Yong passed by and took his cigarette away, extinguished it, put a lollipop between his fingers, and said seriously: "No smoking, this is a no-smoking area! You can't smoke outside! Learn something good at such a young age!"
Lu Jinzhao smiled helplessly, unwrapped the lollipop and put it in his mouth: "Got it."
"And this is for you." Zhang Yong took out a small gift box tied with a ribbon from his pocket. "Merry Christmas Eve."
Apples that usually cost a few yuan a pound would always double in price to dozens of yuan each on Christmas Eve. Lu Jinzhao accepted it and weighed the small paper box in his hand: "Thank you, boss."
"What boss?" Zhang Yong was unhappy: "Call me brother!"
"Thank you, Brother Yong."
"Hey, that's right!"
......
The day I resigned from the milk tea shop was already December 12th.
After Lu Jinzhao completed the formalities, he bought a bus to go back to his hometown the next morning. After sitting for seven hours, his lower limbs were numb. He got off the bus and bought some fruits, dried goods and candies. The boss packed them in festive red plastic bags, which didn't match his all-black outfit.
He called a motorcycle to go into the village. It was already evening when he arrived at Zhoujia Village. Lu Jinzhao followed the system's instructions and walked to the village.
Old Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting at the gate enjoying the cool breeze, saw it from afar. When the people came up to her, she couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, you still remember to come back."
Mrs. Zhou's two sons, whenever she thinks of raising grandchildren for others for more than ten years, she gets angry. She always feels that if there was no Zhou Ye, if Zhou Ye didn't get sick all the time, their Zhou family wouldn't be in such a bad condition as it is now. Ever since the eldest son picked up Zhou Ye, the Zhou family has been losing money in every business! If this kid hadn't managed everything well and was still able to make money now, she would have driven this money-loser away long ago!
Lu Jinchao glanced at the old lady, walked around her, avoided the poultry droppings on the ground and entered the lobby. He put the bag on the table and went straight to the second floor, where Zhou Ye's room originally belonged. There was only a wooden bed without bedding. He squatted down, reached under the bed, and took out a golden longevity lock from the cloth bag attached to the bed.
It is hollow, one inch square, weighs about five grams, and is not worth much money.
According to the original owner's memory, this longevity lock was given to him by his biological parents when he was born. Even when he encountered a family change when he was young, he always kept it carefully. The Zhou family has never discovered it for so many years, otherwise it would have been taken away and sold for cash.
Although Mrs. Zhou was old, her legs and feet were still nimble. She followed Lu Jinzhao into the room, cursing all the way. When she saw Lu Jinzhao putting something into his pocket, she quickly pointed her finger at his nose and cursed, "What did you steal? Take it out!"
Lu Jinchao was too lazy to pay attention to her. She went downstairs and returned to the lobby. Zhou's father happened to come back with a piece of bacon. Seeing his adopted son, Zhou Hongda put the bacon on the table in annoyance and said, "Go, clean it!"
Old Madam Zhou chased after him, walked up behind Zhou Hongda, and said maliciously, "I wonder what your adopted son is doing in the room! I saw him put something in his pocket with my own eyes, don't tell him to take our things with dirty hands! Hurry up and ask him to hand it over!"
Zhou Hongda heard this, his face trembled, his eyes widened with anger: "Hand over the things!"
He didn't even bother to ask a single question.
Really not wanting to pay any attention to the two idiots, Lu Jinchao walked around them and went out. If it weren't for this golden lock, he would never have returned to the Zhou family.
"Stop! I'm talking to you! You've grown wings now, haven't you? You don't even listen to me!"
"You disrespectful bastard! Don't you want to listen to what I say? Hurry up and hand over what you took! I saw it all!"
The two middle-aged and elderly people were so loud that they directly called the second son of the Zhou family next door. Zhou Hongyuan hurried over, thinking that something had happened: "Mom, big brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing another son coming to support her, Mrs. Zhou pointed at Lu Jinzhao and yelled, "This kid just sneaked in the room and took something away. Now it's in his pocket! It must be something valuable! Son, find it out for me! Don't let him take it away!"
Zhou Hongyuan's expression turned serious when he heard this. He stepped forward and said in an unquestionable tone, "Nephew, did you really take grandma's things? Hand it over. If you take it out, we won't make a fuss about it."
Qiansui's eyes almost rolled back to the back of his head: "What a shameless family."
Lu Jinzhao took out an orange-flavored lollipop from his pocket and put it into Zhou Hongyuan's hand.
The Zhou family's mother and son were all dumbfounded. What did it mean to hold a lollipop?
Lu Jinzhao pulled the corner of his mouth open, pulled out his pants pocket, and said innocently: "I only have this lollipop in my pocket, you can take it if you want."
"How is that possible!" Old Mrs. Zhou naturally didn't believe it, but there was indeed nothing in the pocket. She scanned the pocket up and down several times with her shrewd eyes and planned to search the body herself.
Several children who were watching TV in Zhou Hongyuan's self-built house next door also came out, including Zhou Hongda's biological daughter Zhou Xuan, biological son Zhou Chen, and Zhou Hongyuan's son Zhou Wei.
When Zhou Xuan saw his brother, he jumped up to him happily and said, "Brother! You're back!"
Zhou Chen and Zhou Wei didn't take Zhou Ye, their adopted brother, seriously. They grabbed a handful of candies and melon seeds that Lu Jinzhao had brought back from the table and put them in their pockets. Then they turned around and went back to Zhou Laoer's house to watch TV.
Their interruption distracted the Zhou family's attention. Zhou Hongyuan searched in Lu Jinchao's coat pocket but found nothing. He no longer worried about what Lu Jinchao had taken and just thought that old lady Zhou was just seeing things because of her blurry eyes.
Zhou Hongda's anger subsided a lot. He pointed at the table and shouted sternly: "Go and brush the bacon and get ready to cook!" After that, he turned around and left.
Zhou Xuan was afraid that grandma would get angry with her brother again, so she quickly went forward, picked up the bacon, held Lu Jinzhao's hand and walked out. She carefully washed the bacon beside the hand-cranked water pump in the front yard, "Brother, don't bother with them. I'll help you wash it. You can go to Second Uncle's house and rest and watch TV for a while!"
Lu Jinzhao's impression of Zhou Xuan is limited to the following things in his memory: [well-behaved and sensible], [not liked by Zhou family members], and [very close to Zhou Ye].
Zhou Xuan is the younger sister of the original owner and the biological sister of Zhou Chen. When the Zhou family and his wife gave birth to their daughter, they wanted to send her away, but the doctor told Zhou's mother that she might not be able to have children again due to heavy bleeding during childbirth. The Zhou family decided to keep Zhou Xuan, as she was still their own blood.
At that time, they had already picked up the original owner who was unwanted on the street. Even if it was not their own child, it was better than not having a son. You know, in the countryside, not having a son would be ridiculed. Other families who couldn't give birth to a son had to spend money to find a human trafficker to buy one, but they picked up a ready-made one on the street and saved a lot of money.
Lu Jinzhao is not Zhou Ye, and he does not have any sympathy for Zhou Xuan. He just finds it quite novel to be protected by such a young girl in front of a bunch of middle-aged and elderly bad guys.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? Don't be in a daze, it's cold outside! Go to the next room and warm yourself by the fire and have a rest!" Zhou Xuan was almost raised by Zhou Ye, so she had a special fondness for this brother. Even though the material things Zhou's father and mother gave her were pitifully little, she would always think of her brother when she had something delicious or fun.
Old Mrs. Zhou insisted that her eyesight was as good as it could be and she was sure she saw Lu Jinchao take something from under the bed. But no matter what she said, her two sons wouldn't believe her. The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She rushed out and grabbed Zhou Xuan and Lu Jinchao who were outside the door and started scolding them. She used only old-fashioned words like "money-losing stuff" and "unlucky star". Zhou Xuan didn't dare to talk back and soon her eyes were filled with tears and she even lowered her head a few degrees.
Lu Jinzhao stood in front of Zhou Xuan and asked coldly, "Are you done?"
Old Madam Zhou had been strong all her life, but this was the first time she was intimidated by the aura of a young man. She couldn't help but feel scared, "What...what? Am I not telling the truth? You two are just losing money!"
