Chapter 52 From Now On, We're Even
Zhou Zhenxing still felt sympathy for Su Jin.
She was different from the others; she had lost her memories and had nowhere to go or anyone to rely on after leaving him and the Zhou family.
But she was also a woman who lacked a backbone.
However, he could not maintain their marriage because of this sympathy.
"This money, and these tickets, are all for you."
He tried his best to meet Su Jin's divorce requests.
Two hundred yuan was a lot of money for him. He not only received an advance on his allowance from the troupe, but also borrowed some from Liu Wengao.
As for grain coupons, cloth coupons, and vegetable coupons, he had to ask many people to gather them all.
Entrusting all of this to Su Jin would also make him feel at ease.
Adhering to the principle of keeping clear accounts even between close brothers, Su Jin carefully checked the numbers, finding that there was no more and no less.
"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Zhou Zhenxing felt a little strange when he heard her say those words.
Su Jin didn't give him time to react. Instead, she turned around and took out a small notebook from her bundle.
“This is the family’s debt list. Mom asked me to bring you the account book. I’ve recorded every single debt in detail.”
The debts of the Zhou family should naturally be repaid by Zhou Zhenxing, their son.
Zhou Zhenxing was taken aback for a moment, but then didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It wasn't until he opened the ledger and saw the dense records on it that his brows furrowed.
"How can there be so many?"
Each individual transaction was relatively small, but the total amount added up to a staggering three hundred.
But he sends living expenses home on time every month, so he shouldn't have so much debt.
Su Jin had already guessed that he would say that, "In the past year or so, the elders' health has been getting worse and worse, and most of the money has been spent on medical treatment."
She directly changed how she addressed Liu Guizhi, from "Mom and Dad" to "elder".
After she finished speaking, her gaze lingered on his left wrist.
The watch that was inadvertently revealed during his movement was quite valuable.
It seems the divorce settlement she asked for was too low.
Zhou Zhenxing was speechless and felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
He was too selfish; he never went home to visit his parents.
"Okay, I'll take the ledger. I'll pay off the debt."
Whether it's three hundred or more, all he needs is time to repay it.
"What are your plans for the future? Will you stay in the capital, or go somewhere else?"
Su Jin: "I don't have any plans. I'll just go wherever my mind takes me."
There was no need for her plans to be known by unrelated people.
Zhou Zhenxing never expected that even now, she would still be so indecisive.
"If you really have nowhere to go, you can stay here. I should be able to help you find a simpler job."
Although he couldn't guarantee how good the job would be, he could at least solve her basic needs for food and clothing.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to make ends meet with the money he just gave her; she would need to be able to support herself.
Without even thinking, Su Jin refused, "No need."
Zhou Zhenxing was silent for a few seconds, then glanced at the time; it was just lunchtime.
"Let's go out for a meal together, it's probably the last time anyway."
"No need," Su Jin still refused, only wanting him to leave as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhenxing added, "Having a beginning and an end can be considered a way to put a period to our marriage."
