Chapter 122 Pros and Cons
Although it was a sudden idea, Huo Jinzhi's frown still relaxed a little. He shook his head: "Not likely."
Those who are placed here are meant to suffer so that they can reflect on their own actions.
"We should always think about it, what if it works?" Chen Zhu pursed her lips, thinking about something. She always thought that her ideas could work, and in fact, it had almost always been like this, and there had never been any problems!
"If I succeed, it would be nice to live in your house. Potato is old enough to go to school, but Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao can't afford it." Huo Jinzhi also looked worried.
It's not that he hasn't tried to give them money or other things, but Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao couldn't keep them. It would be better for him to go there more often and help with something, which would be much better than giving them gifts.
"If you need any help from me, please speak up as soon as possible."
This was the only promise Huo Jinzhi could make. He also had some connections to work with, and if he was lucky, Chen Zhu wouldn't have to worry about it.
"Okay." Chen Zhu nodded and walked in. Ye Xumei came back early today and had already prepared the meal. The aroma wafted over. Chen Zhu immediately went over and ate heartily. Zhou Siwei also followed him to eat.
"I'm going to be out for a few days. Is there anything you want?" Ye Xumei waited until they finished eating before speaking and asked.
Since arriving on the island, there have been few opportunities to go out. This really made Chen Zhu's eyes light up, and with some anticipation, he asked, "What are you going out for?"
"Brother Cheng said he wanted to take me with him to see something important. I thought you couldn't go out, so I came to ask about the situation." Ye Xumei didn't know what he was going to do outside. Cheng Zhuoyue was very secretive about this matter.
However, the more mysterious he was, the more it proved that it was not a big deal.
"I don't really want anything. The island has everything. Is there anything you lack?" Chen Zhu thought for a moment, then shook his head and asked Zhou Siwei next to him.
The little guy's eyes were full of desire, and he was biting his lower lip, obviously wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Just tell me if you've made up your mind. Since I've accepted you, I won't be mean to you over these little things. I'm not short of money either." Chen Zhuyi patted him on the head lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Maybe because he has experienced a lot of things since childhood, Zhou Siwei has always been very sensible. Although it seems like he is raising a child, he does not cry or make a fuss, and is not picky about food. He is much better than those children outside.
It's rare to have something you want.
"I want the airplane gift box. I've wanted to buy it before." Zhou Siwei couldn't wait to speak.
This kind of thing is only available in large foreign trade malls. It is probably difficult to find it in China, and imported things are also very expensive. No wonder he was so hesitant.
The smile on Ye Xumei's face faded a little, and he didn't dare to say anything too final: "We'll see after we get out. Maybe we can find it, but if we can't, don't be angry about it."
"No, it doesn't matter even if there isn't one." Zhou Siwei was very clear about the adult's implication. He felt a little tired at the moment and said with a sigh.
Seeing that distraught little expression, Chen Zhuyi couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She turned and went into the house, took out a lot of money, and stuffed it all into Ye Xumei's hands.
"Don't worry, go ahead and buy it. He rarely asks for anything, so I'll accept it even if what he wants is a bit demanding." Chen Zhu smiled, not looking like he was troubled by this matter at all.
Holding the money in his hand, Ye Xumei's expression changed, and he quickly tried to push it back: "This kind of plane must be expensive..."
"We not only want expensive ones, but also the best ones, so that they won't break easily." Chen Zhuyi interrupted her and smiled: "Since he is in our family, he is my relative. I am willing to spend some money on him."
Zhou Siwei's eyes widened. She didn't expect Chen Zhuyi to say such a thing. After hesitating for a while, she pulled her and said, "Well... if it's too expensive, you don't have to pay it back. Or, I will find a way to make money and pay it back to you in the future!"
At the end of his speech, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and seemed to carry a certain degree of determination.
Chen Zhuyi hadn't expected anything in return, but seeing Zhou Siwei's serious expression, he straightened his expression and said, "Okay, but let's make three rules. You're not allowed to do anything illegal, and we can't do the same as before."
As long as it's not illegal, Zhou Siwei can do whatever he wants.
"Okay, I'll write you an IOU when the things come back!" Zhou Siwei agreed without hesitation.
Seeing things develop like this, Ye Xumei was a little amused and helpless. She patted Zhou Siwei's head and sent him back to do his homework. Then she said with some embarrassment: "Do you really want him to return it to you?"
"If I want to buy something...will you ask me for money?" Chen Zhu asked with a smile.
Given their relationship, Ye Xumei would take anything within his ability without hesitation. If he really asked for money, it would alienate their relationship.
Putting herself in other people's shoes, Ye Xumei also understood the hidden meaning of Chen Zhuyi's words. She sighed secretly, then nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, I will definitely buy the best according to your requirements."
The next morning, Ye Xumei set off, and Chen Zhuyi also became busy. Except for attending classes, she was hardly seen.
Liu Kexin guessed that Chen Zhuyi must be still worried about that matter. She looked a little hesitant and walked over several times to say something, but was pulled away by Teacher Liu.
"Mom, you were the one who raised the problem, but you let others solve it and you are not willing to help. Isn't this too much?" Liu Kexin finally complained a little dissatisfiedly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
These emotions were exposed directly at this moment, causing Teacher Liu to raise his hand and pat her on the head: "What do you know, silly girl?"
Chen Zhuyi has connections and personal connections outside, so even if he makes a bold attempt, he will only be scolded if he fails.
But if Liu Kexin intervenes, if something goes wrong, she may not be able to keep her teaching position. This is a real iron rice bowl. Unless someone is crazy, no one will risk their own future to fight for others!
"I..." Even as Liu Kexin listened to her mother analyzing the pros and cons, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, with some resistance in her eyes.
"Deliver these things to them first, and count them so that no one sees you." Teacher Liu pointed to the cakes he had hidden in the cloth bag.
Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao have been here for many years and have helped them a lot.
