998 was momentarily speechless when asked the question.
To be honest, it also thought it was unlikely! After all, Lu Huaijiao hadn't been forcibly de-intelligent in this life, and the Lu Huaijiao who hadn't been forcibly de-intelligent was truly rebellious by nature.
The chances of it persuading Lu Huaijiao are really slim.
However, considering how much he had already tried to persuade Lu Huaijiao, it seemed a bit unreasonable to give up now.
So, 998 reluctantly agreed.
'If you're willing to work hard, anything is possible!'
Lu Huaijiao nodded in affirmation once again.
That's true; if you're willing to work hard, anything is possible.
Upon hearing this, 998 realized that Lu Huaijiao was repeating its words. What did this mean? Could it be that there was really hope? Before it could even feel happy, it heard Lu Huaijiao's voice ringing in its ears.
'Alright, I'll give you a chance: keep an eye on Xu Honglian.'
'What? '
998 was so scared that he started speaking in his local dialect.
Lu Huaijiao didn't care about 998's attitude; she continued to communicate with 998 in her mind as if it were perfectly natural.
'You live inside my body, so you have to pay a price, right? You're not usually that useful, but now that bad guys are eyeing me, don't you have to keep an eye on them for me?'
'Don't you even know what protection money is, 998? Don't you people in the system world have the concept of protection money? You're residing inside my body, so you have to pay me protection money, understand?'
998: ? ? ? ?
Protection money?
Is Lu Huaijiao sure she's not just teasing it?
It's a system, a system that can control people's thoughts. It's something high and mighty, and it's always the host who works with the system. So why is it that today it's asking the host to pay protection money?
Isn't this just too ridiculous?
'That's impossible. I am a system, an existence beyond you humans.'
998, determined to maintain his last shred of pride and dignity, would never yield to Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao responded with an "oh".
'Alright, then you can go and stay in the small dark room for now.'
Almost at the same time she finished speaking, Lu Huaijiao blocked the 998 that had finally appeared.
This blocking truly puts 998 in a dark room, instead of allowing it to freely enter the system and wander around like before.
Of course, when it went shopping before, it was only distracted; its main focus was still on Lu Huaijiao's mind.
What 998 was thinking after being locked up is unknown.
But reminded of this, Lu Huaijiao decided to go back and find another helper first!
Yes, 998 is just her backup choice. The main choice is definitely Gu Changzheng, who is capable of doing anything and can be used to do anything.
"Mom, please check if anything is missing from the house. I'm going back now; Changzheng should be back soon."
As soon as Lu Huaijiao finished speaking, she turned around and went through the small gate back to their courtyard.
The two courtyards are separated by only one gate, but the scenery is quite different.
He Meizhu's place was completely bare, with nothing there.
But Lu Huaijiao and her family's place was different. The yard was full of flowers and plants, a swing, a well that Gu Changzheng had dug himself, grapevines that had climbed up the trellis, and a swing under the grape trellis.
It can be said that it has a completely different style compared to the other courtyards next door, or even the courtyards in the village.
Gu Changzheng just pushed open the courtyard gate and saw his wife returning from next door. He wiped his sweat, and his thin lips unconsciously curled up.
"Jiao..."
"Fourth brother, you're back! Are you tired? Did you get sunburned?"
Lu Huaijiao's voice was sweeter than honey.
Her voice was so sweet and soft that Gu Changzheng was almost scared out of his wits.
What happened?
When Lu Huaijiao approached, Gu Changzheng quickly reached out and touched her forehead.
He touched his forehead again.
No fever!
Why did Jiaojiao suddenly become so strange? What happened?
"Jiaojiao..."
"I just went and beat someone up."
Lu Huaijiao pouted, then changed her expression in a second, extending her wrist: "You have no idea how hard it is to pull this slingshot, my wrist is hurting."
That fair, jade-like wrist was thus placed across Gu Changzheng's face.
"Look, it's all red!"
Gu Changzheng: ...
I didn't see the red one, but the important thing is that she said she hit someone.
"Who did you hit?"
Gu Changzheng pulled the person inside and slowly began to question them.
Lu Huaijiao pouted, her lips practically dripping with oil, and recounted the actions of Gu Jindan, Gu Baodan, and Xu Honglian. Gu Changzheng's face darkened as he listened.
His second brother is becoming increasingly outrageous.
He doesn't care about his wife and children; he's always thinking about messing around with educated youth outside.
He had already given Gu Changqing a hint before. Was he genuinely unaware, or was he pretending not to understand?
Gu Changzheng narrowed his eyes slightly!
Lu Huaijiao tugged at Gu Changzheng's sleeve.
"Gu Changzheng, do you think that wicked woman Xu Honglian might really come looking for revenge? I'm not afraid of her revenge, it's just that I'm pregnant..."
Yes, the reason Lu Huaijiao went through such a long and complicated process was because she was pregnant!
If she weren't pregnant, she wouldn't be afraid of Xu Honglian at all, but now that she's pregnant, she needs to be more cautious. She should find Gu Changzheng.
