Chapter 779 God assists my sister-in-law (12)

After Zhu Shichu had dinner with Taotao, she went home. As soon as she got home, she saw Zhao Yunjianzhen, dressed in strange clothes, waiting for her. When he saw her come in, he ran to her like a puppy seeing its owner.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhu Shichu asked. Ever since Zhao Yunjian was forced to be his younger brother, he would never show up in front of him unless he had something to ask. So when Zhu Shichu saw him coming to him on his own initiative, he knew that something must be wrong.

"Hehe, are you still able to contact the merchant who sold the Golden Pheasant before?" Zhao Yunjian asked Zhu Shichu awkwardly. That awkward look would have been very eye-catching if he wasn't so handsome.

"No, this method of contact is one-time and we can't get in touch again." Zhu Shichu shook her head. She didn't lie. Since it was a transaction on the dark web, all kinds of precautions would naturally be taken. After the transaction was completed, the previous contact method would naturally be useless.

Zhao Yunjian was immediately very disappointed: "I want to ask that person if he has any other rare animals."

"What? Are you interested in raising chickens? Do you want to build a farm?" Zhu Shichu joked.

"No, I didn't add him. I was just asking. Grandpa Li also wants to contact that person. He is jealous of my general..." Zhao Yunjian said hurriedly.

"Oh, what a pity, this is probably the only general you have." Zhu Shichu thought, there were indeed a lot of them in her space, but she couldn't take them out anymore.

After sending Zhao Yunjian away, Zhu Shichu returned to her room and suddenly received a call from Zhu Yaochu. When she saw the caller ID, she was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had not blocked him?

This period of time was so peaceful that she had forgotten about this BBQ pork brother. But why did BBQ pork brother come to her now? Zhu Shichu looked at him with a playful look. Could it be that this brother who grew up in a greenhouse finally found that life was difficult after he lost money and couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to come to her for help?

Thinking of watching the good show, Zhu Shichu did not block him but answered his call.

"Shichu, you finally answered my call!" Zhu Yaochu's virtual image appeared in front of Zhu Shichu and said with relief.

Zhu Shichu looked at his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time and found that he had become much more decadent. The gentle and elegant gentleman he used to be was gone, and he became an ordinary young man who was unkempt and looked haggard. He didn't seem to be any better than others.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhu Shichu asked with a gloating smile when he saw that he was not doing well.

Zhu Yaochu was a little hesitant, wanting to say something but stopping himself, looking at Zhu Shichu with a conflicted and awkward look.

"Are you here to borrow money from me?" Zhu Shichu saw that he was reluctant to speak, so he asked directly.

"Uh, you guessed it right. How much money do you have on you now? Lend me some and I'll pay you back later." After Zhu Shichu told him about his predicament, Zhu Yaochu no longer felt embarrassed and borrowed money from Zhu Shichu with confidence, just like he did before.

He thought Zhu Shichu was the good sister who would listen to him and do whatever he said.

It's a pity that Zhu Shichu has changed his soul, so she smiled apologetically and said, "No, brother, have you forgotten that you said you would not rely on your family, and you would make a name for yourself through your own efforts and give Sister Meng Ling a bright future. If you borrow money from me, wouldn't that mean you admit that you have no ability and are unable to earn money to support yourself and your girlfriend? Are you such a useless man, brother? You can't hold on so soon and ask me for help. How can this reflect the relationship between you and Sister Meng Ling that you want to share weal and woe?"

As soon as Zhu Shichu said this, Zhu Yaochu blushed with shame. Her words were like slaps in the face, making him feel ashamed.

How did he promise to Zhu's mother before leaving home that he could live well even without relying on his family?

Zhu Yaochu recalled how he had spoken shamelessly to his mother, but the reality was so different from what he had imagined. He had never known that making money was so difficult. He thought he could earn enough money in a matter of minutes to allow himself and his girlfriend to live a good life.

Unfortunately, he had overestimated his abilities these days. The money that ordinary college students could earn in a month from their part-time jobs was sometimes not even enough for him to have a meal.

He was lavish with money and used to buying things without checking prices, so every time he went to the supermarket to buy something, he would spend a lot of money. One time, he forgot to check the price as usual, and ended up not having enough money to pay when he checked out. In the end, Meng Ling helped him pay the remaining part.

He will never forget the shame he felt when the cashier looked at him strangely because he didn't have enough money to pay the bill. Since then, he has learned to check the prices of goods in advance when going to the supermarket, and to compare the cost-effectiveness of goods. He has also learned to live within his means and to live frugally.

Zhu Yaochu thought of the sadness he had felt during these days, so he didn't care whether his sister would look down on him. He lowered his voice and pleaded with Zhu Shichu, "Sister, please help me because I've been having such a hard time. It's not that I don't want to share the joys and sorrows with your sister Meng Ling, but I couldn't make the transition in time, which resulted in me spending more than I expected. Even if I tried hard to make money, I couldn't break even... But as long as you help me through this difficult time, I can solve it myself in the future. Please help me, right? I haven't had a good life during this period. Can you bear to see me suffer?"

"It's okay to suffer a little. Isn't it said that the more suffering you experience, the more sincere your feelings will be? If you can't even solve this little difficulty, what will happen to you and Sister Meng Ling in the future? Brother, I believe in you. You can definitely solve the current difficulties with your own efforts! If I really lend you money, wouldn't it ruin the environment where you and Sister Meng Ling share weal and woe? This is absolutely not possible!" Zhu Shichu refused righteously.

Zhu Yaochu opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say. He hoped that his sister would not believe him and would borrow money to ruin the suffering of himself and Meng Ling. Unfortunately, Zhu Shichu was determined not to lend money.

"Zhu Shichu! Don't you feel sorry for me and sad for me when you see me like this?" Zhu Yaochu finally couldn't help it and started to play the victim to Zhu Shichu, "After I left home penniless, I couldn't eat or sleep well. I had to find ways to make money every day, otherwise I would starve. Don't you really feel sorry for your brother?"

Zhu Shichu shook his head: "But brother, isn't this all your own fault? You did it willingly. You fell to this point in order to prove your true love for Sister Meng Ling. This is the price you have to pay for true love. Isn't it worth it to prevent your family from stopping you and Sister Meng Ling?"
