Chapter 112 A Little Clue

The newly bought yard of Chu Zhi’s family is not far from the market.

It will be there in less than three minutes.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Chu Xuan felt very familiar.

In her previous life, Feng Chunhua asked her for five thousand yuan, saying that she wanted to buy a yard in the town. She tried every possible way and spent five months to finally collect the five thousand yuan, which she secretly gave to Feng Chunhua.

It was this courtyard that Feng Chunhua brought her to at that time.

She didn't know that Feng Chunhua was just looking for an excuse to ask her for money, and had actually already bought it.

Seeing Chu Xuan standing still outside the door, Chu Zhi took the initiative to invite her in, "Come in and take a look! It's quite impressive! My new bicycle is right in the yard."

Chu Xuan said seriously, "Where's your mother?"

Chu Zhi chuckled, "Don't be so serious. She's not at home. I just sent her to the town hospital for an injection, and I'll pick her up in two or three hours. She broke her leg and stayed in the county hospital for a while, and just returned to town today. It's because she's not here that I dared to invite you here. Otherwise, wouldn't you two have fought if you had met?"

"You know your mother doesn't like me, yet you still dare to invite me to visit your house?" Chu Xuan finally saw that Chu Zhi not only wanted to show off, but also wanted to discuss something with him. "Just say it, my time is limited."

He looked around the entire yard without leaving any trace.

There are four bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet, and a utility room. The yard is about 30 square meters and has a bicycle and a stone table and bench.

One of the bedrooms was locked.

In her previous life, Feng Chunhua lived in that house.

It should still be her in this life.

Maybe there are some clues in her room.

Chu Zhi's voice rang out, "Today, in addition to showing you my financial resources, I also want to discuss cooperation with you."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "What cooperation?"

Chu Zhi smiled and said, "I want to invest in your grilled fish fillet workshop."

Chu Xuan didn't respond directly. "Why don't you invite me to visit your bedroom? Aren't you asking me to see your financial resources? The furnishings in the room should be quite good, right?"

"That must be nice! All new beds and furniture. I'll show you around."

Chu Zhi took Chu Xuan to visit the three unlocked bedrooms.

After the tour, he pointed to the locked bedroom and said, "This is my mother's bedroom. I don't have the key. The window is locked from the inside, and my mother has drawn the curtains. You can't see anything from the outside, but I can tell you that the things in this room are the most valuable. The furnishings in the room are worth no less than five thousand yuan, especially the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants."

Chu Xuan deliberately said, "A dragon and phoenix jade pendant? Putting it in the bedroom? Isn't that a waste of natural resources?"

Chu Zhi proudly responded, "That's what I said too. My mother said she'd like it. She just wants to put it in the house so she can look at it every day and feel good!"

Chu Xuan suddenly realized that Feng Chunhua might not have bought the dragon and phoenix jade pendant as a gift.

"When did your mother put it up? So arrogant?"

"She put it up before she fell! I haven't seen the dragon and phoenix jade pendant in the past few days since the fall. When she came back today, she came into the house and started rubbing it and putting it on her face. She was mumbling something, but I couldn't hear it clearly..."

Chu Zhi kept talking and Chu Xuan did not interrupt him. This trip was not in vain as he got some information.

From this it seems that what Feng Chunhua was holding in her arms that night when she was catching the train was not the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, but some other important item.

Chu Xuan deeply regretted not snatching it away to take a look at it.

Chu Xuan waited until Chu Zhi finished speaking before speaking again, "I've seen your family's financial resources, and they're indeed quite good. However, my grilled fish fillet workshop will be disbanded soon, by October at the latest. There's no need to recruit anyone else to invest. You can talk to the village chief and see if you can invest in the village-run food factory."

"I asked, and Wang Depin said no. Because the time for buying shares has passed. Now you're the most profitable person in our village, and I want to cooperate with you. I also want to restore our relationship as relatives. How about I become your uncle? I promise not to beat you and Xiaofeng again. As long as you help me make money, a few beatings from you every day won't be a problem."

Chu Xuan was shocked by Chu Zhi's shamelessness. "You only know that I make money, but do you know how much debt I owe?"

Chu Zhi said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a debt of over 2,000 yuan? If you want, you can pay it back quickly."

Chu Xuan said seriously, "Wrong! I owe more than two thousand yuan. In order to treat my mother's illness, I spent all my earnings and borrowed a lot of money. It's about thirty thousand yuan! The doctor said that my mother's follow-up treatment will require money, at least another fifty thousand yuan. If you are not afraid that I will use your money to treat my mother, just cooperate with me. In fact, I also want to restore our relationship as relatives. It just so happens that your mother has money and can pay for my mother's treatment to reduce my burden. How about you act as a matchmaker and mention it to your mother?"

"I wouldn't dare. It's just that I want to restore our relationship as a relative, but my mother hasn't said anything. Since it's inconvenient for you to cooperate with me, let's talk about it later. Go back! I won't see you off."

Chu Zhi's face was dark, and he no longer had the enthusiasm he had just had.

Chu Xuan knew his character, and if he hadn't considered that he was still useful, he would have slapped him away long ago.

Before leaving, he deliberately repeated, "Don't forget to tell your mother to restore the relationship as soon as possible and help my mother treat her illness."

Leave with a relaxed pace.

Chu Zhi clenched his fists in anger, muttering in his heart, "Poor bastard! Chu Xuan, you debt king! I am so blind that I would watch you make money and want to cooperate with you."

He didn't dare say it out loud, for fear that Chu Xuan would beat him.

Only when Chu Xuan disappeared did he start to curse, "You want to restore your relationship with my family? You're dreaming! You'll be poor forever..."

Chu Xuan didn't rush home, but returned to Uncle Long's shop.

Tell Feng Chunhua that she bought the dragon and phoenix jade pendants but didn't give them away as gifts.

At the same time, Chu Xuan asked Uncle Long to help get the key from Feng Chunhua. He wanted to enter her bedroom to see if there were any clues.

Uncle Long agreed immediately.

Chu Xuan didn't stay for long. He said goodbye and left. He bought some supplies from the town before taking a carriage back to the village.

Two hours later, Chu Zhi rode his bicycle to the town hospital to pick up Feng Chunhua, exaggerating, "Mom, you don't know! When Chu Xuan found out we bought a new yard in town, she cried and begged to reestablish our relationship as relatives, and even wanted you to pay for her mother's medical treatment. But I scolded her and she left!"

Feng Chunhua clapped her hands in agreement. "Well done! You said she made a lot of money before, but now you know her family is a bottomless pit, right? Stay away from her from now on! Don't let her lead you by the nose! As for Pan Xiaoli, you still listened to her..."

Chu Zhi interrupted impatiently, "It's a good thing I listened to her about that matter, otherwise I would have a green grassland on my head before I even got married! Don't mention it again!"

"Alright! I won't mention it! Just carry me out now."

"good."

Chu Zhi carried Feng Chunhua to the bicycle, carefully put her down, and then considerately helped her sit on the back seat.

Feng Chunhua sighed, "Xiaozhi! As long as you continue to respect me like you do now, I will leave all my money to you!"

Chu Zhi immediately expressed his opinion, "Mom, I will definitely always be filial to you. Besides, I am your only son, who else can you leave it to if not me?"

Feng Chunhua slapped him on the back and said, "You are not the only son I have!"

Chu Zhi's eyes widened in shock. "Could it be that you have an illegitimate child behind my father's back?"
