Chapter 610: The Return of Jia Jia Zhangshi

~4 min read 795 words

Early morning.

A thin mist hung in the air; the weather was gradually turning from hot to cool.

Seeing Seeing Shazhu rose early and busily washed his face, brushed his teeth, and made breakfast.

For once, Seeing Shazhu even washed his hair and changed into a clean set of clothes.

Seeing Seeing Shazhu so diligent and clean, the neighbors couldn't help feeling surprised and curious.

"Seeing Shazhu's tidied up so neatly—could he be going on another blind date?"

An overly curious auntie asked a few questions and learned that Seeing Shazhu was going out to look for work.

"Ding! Daily check-in successful!"

"Obtained 10 jin of pepper powder, 10 jin of chicken essence!"

By the time Cao Cao Weiguo got up and washed, Seeing Shazhu had already left the Sihe Academy.

It wasn't that Seeing Shazhu was especially hardworking—it was truly that circumstances left him no choice.

The money in his pocket was gone!

He Great Qing's living expenses weren't small, but Seeing Shazhu just couldn't hold on to money.

One punch at Xu Xu Damao and he had to pay five hundred yuan in compensation.

To pursue Qin Qin Jingru, he'd spent money hand over fist.

Qin Qin Jingru had been snatched away by Xu Xu Damao.

Then that "good sister" Qin Qin Huairu showed up again.

Flying the banner of rescuing Jia Jia Zhangshi back, she came to the door tear-streaked and pleading for help.

Shedding crocodile tears on one side while launching a warm-hearted offensive on the other.

In no time at all, Seeing Shazhu was moved by Qin Qin Huairu's "filial piety."

Generously emptying his pockets, he "lent" every last penny to Qin Qin Huairu.

Now with no money in his pocket, Seeing Shazhu had no choice but to go out and look for work.

In the back courtyard, Cao Cao Weiguo had just finished washing his face when Qin Qin Huairu came sashaying over:

"Cao Weiguo."

"Today I want to visit my mother-in-law."

"But that road is just too far."

"Could you lend me your bicycle?"

"No!"

Cao Cao Weiguo refused cleanly and crisply.

Though the two of them had a relationship of mutual convenience.

That was just each taking what they needed, nothing more.

As for feelings?

Don't have any!

Qin Qin Huairu swallowed her anger and shamelessly acted coy:

"Cao Weiguo! Big sis is begging you!"

"Have a little heart for your sis!"

"I won't use it long—just lend it for half a day."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and shook his head: "Not lending! Turning around now—see yourself out!"

Qin Qin Huairu stamped her foot in fury: "You! Cao Cao Weiguo! How heartless you are!"

Cao Cao Weiguo grinned wickedly: "Cut the cooing act with me—it's no damn use."

Before Qin Qin Huairu could say more, Song Song Yulan stood at the doorway and called out:

"Cao Weiguo! The porridge is ready, come eat!"

"I need to eat now—take your time leaving, no need to see you out!"

Cao Cao Weiguo turned with a smile and went back inside, leaving Qin Qin Huairu grinding her teeth in rage.

After this old lady served you so many times, you won't give her even a shred of face?

Hateful, despicable, ungrateful beast!

Just you wait, old lady!

After getting the cold shoulder from Cao Cao Weiguo, Qin Qin Huairu went to find Yan Yan Fugui.

After much coaxing, she forked out two mao and finally borrowed the bicycle.

This time borrowing the bicycle wasn't because she found the road too far.

It was simply that Jia Jia Zhangshi, that mother-in-law of hers, was far too good at putting on airs.

She'd thrown down a hard line—she had to come home by bicycle, no two ways about it.

That's right!

Jia Jia Zhangshi was coming back!

Cao Cao Weiguo had issued a letter of understanding.

Qin Qin Huairu had also bought gifts and gone to the subdistrict office to plead for mercy.

Jia Jia Zhangshi was both lazy and a glutton.

She'd fall ill every other day.

On top of her recent job…

The person in charge at the prison, after considering it from many angles.

Only then did they decide to release Jia Jia Zhangshi and send her home in accordance with the regulations.

Leaving a thing like that in the cell.

They themselves found it distasteful.

He rode his bicycle to the prison.

He went through a whole string of procedures.

Jia Jia Zhangshi was let out, and immediately started berating Qin Qin Huairu:

"You useless woman!"

"You said you'd come pick me up at eight — look how many days it's been!"

"You wretched jinx, why don't you just drop dead from laziness!"

"My family must have been blind to have ever let you into the Qujin Sect!"
